Fight at Artesia.

Charles Gilbert, young attorney of
this city who is studying law under
Judge Gatewood, had a difficulty late
Friday evening with Jesse p Van
Winkle on Main street of Artesia
Van Wrinkle suffered a severe cash in
the left arm and in the ribs by
knife in the hands of Gilbert. All
of the muscles and blood vessels in
the arm were severed and the young
man came near bleeding to death.
The cash in the arm was four and one
half inches in length. Gilbert claims
that this same stroke is what cut the
ribs of Van Wrinkle The trouble grew
out of contest that E. w. Gilbert
filed on a claim of Van Wrinkles near
Artesia E. W. Gilbert is a brother
of Charles Gilbert. The contest was
filed March and several days ago

RAIE BILL IN HOUSE
Somewhat Disfigured, But Still Rec
ognizabIe.- Chairman Hepburn Has
Called Conference of Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee.

Washington, May 21.-The supreme
court of the United States today rem
dered decision in the case of U.
S. Senator Burton of Kansas. The
decision was against Burton, affirm
ing the decision of the q. S. Circuit
Court for the Eastern District of Mis-
souri, by which Burton was sentenced
to six months imprisonment in the
jail of Union county, Mo, required to
pay fine of $2,500 and deprived of
the right to hereafter nold any office
of trust under the U. S. government.
The opinion was prepared by JUS
tice Harlan. All the points made in
Burton's interest were overruled.
Senator Burton was prosecuted on
the charge of violating the statute
which prohibits senators and repre-
sentatives from receiving compensa-
tion for services rendered before any
of the government departments in
which the government may be inter
ested. He was specifically charged
five months from the Rialto Grain
and Securities Company, of St. Louis
for services rendered that company

of an order by the postofice depart
ment prohibiting the use of the mails

DEATH VALLEY
HERO IN TROUBLE
"Scotty," Reputed millionaire

Chicago, May 3O.-Walter Scott

timated at from 20 cents to a ''clean
million,' who recently sprang into the

in a chartered train at the rate of 100

Behind him remained a world of
trouble, about fifteen hungry actors, his
wife, his dog, "Scotty,' and an old
time pal, "Slim,' donkey who, ac-
cording to report, has carried millions
of dollars in bullion on his honored

"Scotty' recently deserted the pro-

BUCHANAN CAUGHT
IN CANNON NET
Minnesota Congressman Dragged
to House to Complete
Quorum.

Washington, May sO.-Representa-
tive Clarence B: Buchanan of the sixth
Minnesota district, one Of the victims
OF the roundup conducted by Speaker
Cannon Monday night to get quorum
IN the house, IS very angry. He is NJ
longer friendly with Mr.. Payne of New
York, the republican floor leader.
Absenteeism has grown so among
or longer that the business of that body
has been seriously retarded, especially
in view Of the flibustering of John
Sharp Williams, the minority leader.
The speaker took the bit in his teeth
Monday night and, sending for Ser
m embers be arrested wherever found
and brought to the bar Of the house.
Clarence B. Buchanan Of Minnesota,
among others, was caught in the drag
net. Buchanan was dining with Mrs.
buchanan at the downtown hotel where
they reside. A card was brought in,
stating that the members presence was
desired in the lobby Proceeding to the
lobby the Minnesota congressman WAS
confronted by deputy sergeant-at-
arms, who Informed inf him that he was
said he would hurry to the capitol right
bl Vol tuuueT.
"That won't do,' said the deputy.
now, and that I'll do.'
Mr.. Buchanan was incensed at the
manner and the bearing Of the house
deputy, whom he told that he had
just begun operations on an elaborate
course dinner, and that when inter.
rupted the ice: cream and toothpicks
were far in the future.
This had no effect on the government
hireling, and Mr.. Buchanan, poeketing
his pride and trying to forget his din
ner, went to the capitol. After the
noses were counted and the speaker
had announced that quorum was pres
ent, Minority Leader Williams moved
that the record Of the arrest Of the
absent members be stricken from the
journal. Objection was entered by
Majority Leader Payne.
THAT was the unkindest cut Of all, u
said Representative Buchanan. "1t
was not enough that we should be
hailed to the bar Of the house by order
Of the speaker. This was not humiIia.
ton enough to satisfy them. They had
to leave q narrative of the incident in
the record. The speaker wanted a quo.
rum, and he got it, and that should
have been the end Of it,
Representative Buchanan is highly in.
censed at Leader Payne, and friends
Of the two statesmen fear a scene when
they next meet. It developed on in
quiry today that five members Of thu
Minnesota delegation were absent when
the speaker took heroic measures to GET
quorum, but Mr.. Buchanan was thu
only one caught.

Wednesday Evening, !.

Mr.. Glover. "In very many of these
cases it was not at all necessary that
the court should be opened to enable
the clerk to enter the order, but the
orders approving the several accounts
OF the clerk stated that the court was
open FOR the transaction Of business and
the Judge present. Later an examiner
found that the court was not open at
all; but that the orders were entered
in the absence Of the judge. On that
report per diems were charged amount
ing to 1905 and disallowed by the de-
partment, but the clerk sued for the
sion Of the supreme court Of the
United States. .-.
''The clerks are charging up from
twice to ten times as many per diems as
they did before that decision was hand
ed down by the supreme court. The
Kentucky clerk I referred to renders
eight accounts every quarter, the court
sitting in four places, and he being
clerk of both the district and circuit
courts in each place. If the earnings
of the court amount to that much in
the fees, he can collect $4,000 year
for each Of those eight jobs. -
Test Soon to Come.
The department asks congress to pass
a law bringing the clerks down from the
ter and also to make them get along
with what an ordinary man would ask
for doing the work they do. The test
will come when the sundry civil bill
GENES up in the house. The subject is
one Of great interest to attorneys and
Etigants in United States courts all
over the country. 80 a.~

export inspection law, passed in order
to protect American export meat bust
ness, but the Beveridge proposition goes
far beyond anything contained in that
law. It's passage and proper enforce
ment will insure pure meats at home
and abroad for all time. It follows
the cattle into the slaughter houses, fol-
lows the carcasses from the slaughter
houses to the retail butcher shops, fol-
lows the timed meats of all kinds from
the slaughter houses to the retail stores.
An elaborate system Of government
tagging is provided for. No carcass
Of meat can be shipped in interstate or
foreign commerce unless it bears the
government tag certifying that it is
perfectly wholesome. No canned meats
can be offered for sale unless they carry
a printed statement on the label certi-
flying to government inspection and
approval. Railroads are heavily pen
allied who carry goods not tagged, and
ucts abroad will be given clearing
papers unless some inspector has first
gone over her cargo and declared that
all the meats bear the proper tags.
Sanitary conditions are provided for
the packing and slaughter houses, Of
which places there is to be frequent
inspection. No packing house can en-
gage in business unless it secures a
certificate from the secretary of agri-
culture that it has complied with all
pared so to comply. There will be in
spection by night as well as by day,
and packers are forbidden to put meat
products in cans by night unless in case
Of emergency.
Up to the House.
If there is any way Of making the
bill more stringent, Mr.. Beveridge and
the president would like to have some
body point it out. If there is any way
by which house of represent atives,
now about to 90 to the people for in
dorsement, can fail to accept what the
senate has done, somebody ought to
point that out, too. It will be pointed
out, all right, if the house should fail
to do it's duty.
Once more the senate has been caught
at the true psychological moment. 1t
is still smarting under public criticism
and fearful that it's past record has
shown it as being entirely too conserva-
tive and 'unresponsive to public de-
mands. AS with the free alcohol bill,
1t probably would be impossible to get
such a provision as Beveridge' s thru
the senate in a year from now, just as
it would have been impossible to have
got it year ago.

WHO'LL PAY FEES?
Packers Anxious TO Have Government
Take Responsibility.

Journal Special Service.
Washington, May 30.-President
Roosevelt said yesterday that if the
beef barons or any Of their representa-
tives here tried to modify the Bever-
1dge meat inspection amendment to the
agricultural appropriation bill, he would
make public at once the Neill-Reynolds
houses in Chicago. That pleased the
president s friends, who think he has
executed a great coup.
But the president also said he did not
care wheth er the packers, the cattle
raisers or the consumers paid the inspec-
ton fee, and that gave his friends
pause, for they realize that if the presi-
dent does not care who pays the fees,
the government will pay them, and that
is the one thing the beef barons are
trying to bring about, next to the sup
preston Of the Neill-Reynolds report.
The fees, it Is estimated, will amount to
about 100000 a year, and the beef
barons dc, not look with equanimity on
the spending of this money, even if
they can, and will get it back from the
consumer. They would prefer to get it
from the consumer, anyhow, and not
spend it for inspection.
Will Raise Prices
The advocates Of the inspection regn-
lations all say the proper persons to pay
the fees are the packers, but if the pres,
ident Is Indifferent about the matter
the packers have enough friends in
congress to fix it so the government
will pay the fees. This will let the
packers and the cattle raisers out, but
| the additional sanitary requirements
will raise the price of meat. It makes
no difference how the matter is set
| tied the price of meat will 90 up That
| is certain.
spection Is not constitutional and that
! it must be modified. The main objec-
tion is that the amendment as drawn
will forbid the Strengthening of animals
by farmer for his own use. This will
! be far-fetched Interpretation, but any
port is good for the beef trust in this
storm.
There will be some delay in the house
Of representatives. There may be some
feet with provisions rigid enough to In
sure healthful meat and meat products
