THE OLD GANG FEARS
LAW ENFORCEMENT.

From Carlsbad Sun.
The Democratic candidate for con-
gress is not quite so enthusiastic ov-
er the matter of "law-making'' as he
is over the necessity of law en-
forcement,'' and this is what has stir
red up a hornets nest in certain Re-
publican circles.
If the ballot box were not absolute
publican counties of this Territory
the "old ring" would not last as long
as June frost, and the Territorial
Legislature would be controlled by
decent representatives of both par
ties Under such conditions the peo-
pie would not be under the necessity
of appealing to congress for every
needed law and regulation.
Larrazolo has bearded the lion in
his den, and for so doing has brought
upon himself the eternal hatred of
the old ring. This same gang will
resort to many subterfuges to beat
him, but unless present indications
fail he will be overwhelmingly elect
ed at the approaching election.

State Has Nearly All Evidence in Gil
Iette Case In.

Herkimer, N Y. Nov. 24-District
Attorney Ward just before the opening
of court today, declared that he hopeo
to have all of the states evidence pc
fore the jury in the case of Chester F.
Gillette, accused of the murder OF ms
sweetheart, Grace Brown, before the
afternoon session is ended.
When court adjourned last night It
was to meet this morning at $3.50 O'Clock
instead of 10 o'clock as has been the
rule for the last few days. Opposing
counsel lost nearly an hour at the close
of yesterdays afternoon session in dis
cussing the technical points of map or
Big Moose lake. The issue at stake was
whether or not the drawing showed
small projection of land which was de-
picted in one of the photographs or
the scene OF the alleged murder Be-
fore adjournment was taken, however,
the prosecutor had drawn near to the
closing chapters of his narrative. The
Jury was told, in minute detail, of the
circumstances surrounding the finding
of Grace Browns body and of its posi-
ton and general outward condition To-
day it is expected that all the doctors
who took part in the autopsy Will be
heard There are said to be half a
dozen medical witnesses and II their
testimony proves to have the important
bearing on the case which Is expected,
the REORGANIZATION of the physicians
may occupy much more time than the
district attorney anticipates.

LOOKING FOR TEACHERS.
Director of Education in Philippines
Coming to United States.

New York Nov. 24.-Dr. David P.
Barrows, director of education in the
Philippines is on his way to this coun-
try and Is expected in San Francisco,
November 27. He will remain for
eight months in the United States on
leave of absence, during which he will
keep in touch with the young Filipino
students who are in American institu-
items DR.. Barrows will also confer
with the bureau of insular affairs Of
ficials concerning teachers to be sent
to the Philippines and will assist in
making appointments 1t is said that
some of the young Filipinos sent here
for four year terms will be continued
in this country another year to COM
plete advanced professional training
Several of the young students who
have done exceptional work in medi-
cal and other professional schools are
especially anxious to obtain degrees
and this is essential to their profess
sional standing in the islands after
their return it is likely that DR.. Bar
rows will recommend the extension of
the time.
When the first students came here
from the islands. the secondary schools
there were not capable of preparing
the young Filipinos for entrance to
colleges and universities in this coun-
try. Consequently many Of the stu
dents were compelled to take year
of preparatory work in the United
States and lost time which they had
expected to give to the beginning Of a
four year college or professional
course

MAKES LAST STAND.
Senate Indian Committee VIII Close
Its Work at Bartlesville.

Bartlesville, I. T, Nov. 24.-The senate
Indian committee investigating condi-
lions in the Indian Territory arrived
here this morning from Tulsa. The COM
mittee expects to finish its work here
on Monday afternoon next, when it will
leave Immediately for Washington.
During the session today a set of res
olutions drawn up by a number of in
dividuaI gas and oil operators, business
men and citizens of Bartlesville and
the nearby territory and embodying
their wants, was presented to the COM
mittee.
The resolutions favor the prohibiting
of any individual or corporation from
leasing or controlling more than 4, 500
acres of Oil or gas lands in the Chero-
kee nation; opposes individuals and cor
porations obtaining large grants of gas
lands; requires that the rule now in
force requiring oil and gas lessees to
make financial showings before the ap-
proval Of leases can be obtained, be
abolished, asserting that it is working
a great hardship on the small producer
opposes the general removal Of re-
strictions on Indian lands. On this last
point the resolutions says:
I'VE believe 1T to be best for the In
dian and for the development of this
section of the country that restrictions
upon the alienation of surplus lands
be removed and that provision should
be made for the removal of restriction
upon homesteads in cases where the
applicant clearly shows that such re-
moval would result in his benefit and
that he is competent to manage his
own affairs"
