A Slice of Humble Pie.

The five Vernon citizens who signed the
petition for the disbarment of Attorney Gen.
eral G. G. Fits issued yesterday the follow.
ing statement for publication:
I'VE, the undersigned petitioners, in the
case recently before the supreme court
against Attorney General G. c. Fits, in view
of the report made by the commission ap.
pointed to hear said case hereby desire to
retract our belief in the charges of unprofes-
sional conduct as set forth in said petition,
and we most sincerely congratulate Mr.. Fits
upon his exoneration from said charges and
his commendation by the court. Since much
comment has been made by the public press
as to the reasons for signing said petition
we wish to say that we believed the defend.
ant in the case Of Bartlett vs. Prescott
had been sadly wronged in the final result
of said case, and for which the counsel who
managed the defense was largely responsible.
This belief was formed from information re-
ceived, and from an examination of the court
records by some of us. That we were mis-
led appears from the finding of the COM
mission. We wish to emphaticaly deny any
revengeful or malicious motive and to state
that we believe Mr. Fits to be an honorable
and upright man.

A Business Proposition

We have been talking good deal about the way
Vermont wasting money every year No one seems 10
deny it, Seems be accepted fact Pretty soon some
one will be asking
What are you going to do about it''
In other words what does P, w. Clement propose
as practical remedy
Reform Retrenchment and Reorganization are good
words especially the latter.
How is practical Reorganization going to be eff
fected?
Briefly, and in plain language, if P. w. Clement were
given the task of recognizing state AFFAIRS he would DO
it on business principles.
ONE COMMISSION, with full power to admins
ter the affairs of all institutions, would be RESPONSE
BILE to the governor. The governor would be the active
head of this commission and direct its doings
He would be responsible to the people tor his acts
of administration and laws should be passed making MN
responsible officer whose veto would count as FULLY as
his endorsement
All buying would center in this commission All
supplies would be bought in competition All the OH
GERS of all the institutions would make requistion
on this commission for what they wanted The COM
mission would receive bids, award contracts and turn
over the proper vouchers to the auditor.
Then the auditor would make regular reports, show
ing how much each institution was receiving what 1t
costing, in gross amounts and per capita.
glance would show whether the state was wasting
money. Graft would be out OF the question 1t would
be plain simple business the kind that prevails in every
large
All this would not require radical or unusual legisla-
ton 1t is simply getting down cold business prn-
cipes.
A few commissioners would be out Of job. few
fat contracts would go into the waste basket THERE
WOULDN'T BE so MANY PLUMS IN THE
POLITICAL PIE.
But probably the people would stand for it Prob
ably the taxpayers could be induced have their money
saved for them. Probably it would be big enough sum
to take of those special runkine highways about
the state.
Would you be willing to have the state tax finally
put out of the way?
Are you anxious to have the town highway tax cut
down?
Then vote for Reorganization and against the
chine that directly responsible for wasting the poor
mans money

Miracle.
THE W0ULD-BE ASSASSIN
GETS AWAY IN CROWD
Trans -CauCaSia in a Ferment
Massacre of Police and
Soldiers in Full Blast in the
Polish Town of SeidIiCe.

Baku, Sept. 9.-Leslie Urquhar5,
British vice consul here, who was dec
GRATED by King Edward for heroism
in rescuing English isolated at Bala-
khna from Tartar insurgents during
the massacre of 1905, and who Is on4
of the most prominent men in the oil
region, was the victim of q serious
attack last night in the center of the
city and miraculously escaped death.
Though he was fired at eight times a
short range his only injuries We're SIX
slight flesh wounds. The motive for
the crime has not been establishe !,
but it is believed to be a revolutionary
act patterned after the attack on Ger
mans at Warsaw preceding the 1T
tempt on the life of Governor General
Skallon.
Mr.. Urquhart, who was unarme |,
was driving in his carriage at o'clock
Saturday evening when shot was fir
ed from the pavement, the bullet pass
ing through the back of his carriage
Immediately a second assailant leapt
from the road to the step of the car
riage and fired 4 bullet which penc-
trated the feshy part of his hand. Nc
Urquhart, who is tall and strongly
built, jumped up to grapple with his
assailant, but the horse bOlted, throw
ing him violently to the pavement,
where he lay half stunned. His assail-
ant was first to rise and emptied the
other six shots from his automatic re-
volver at the prostrate body, four Of
them going through the vice consuls
Waistcoast and two through his trous-
ers.
Mr. Urquhart was able to rise and
pursue the man. who had attacked
him, but he escaped in the crowd.
When Mr. UrQuhart was undressed
and examined it was found that he
had been grazed five times on the alb
domen and wounded on the hand.

Special to the Morning Journal.
Las Vegas, N, M, Sept g,-The
Duncan opera house was crowded to
the doors and many people were
turned away from the meeting tonight
at which Governor Herbert J. Hager-
man delivered an address on Good
Government" under the auspices OF
the Las Vegas Good Government
league. The governors address was
straight to the point. He did no.
mince matters and he handled his
subject throughout in mastery
manner.
Hon. o. A. LarraZola, of Las Vegas
also delivered a powerful address
and vocal solo by Miss May Farmer,
gifted singer of st. Louis was a
feature of the evening
Captain Arthur Trelford, superh-
'tendent of the penitentiary, occupied
Il seat on the platform beside the
governor.
The governors address was not a
long one, but IT went direct to the
heart of the subject. He deplored the
fact that so few were willing to take
the initiative i'm the work for civic
honesty and decency He made the
strongest kind of a plea for the sup
preston of licensed gambling and ex-
pressed the belief that If the people
of New Mexico had chance to vote
on the question they would vote tC
suppress it. The governor said thai
he was confident that before the next
legislature could meet congress
would have passed an act abOlishiue
licensed gambling in the territories
/ but in case congress took no such ac
tion he intended to use his best effort!
TO secure the passage of a law by the
legislature abolshing it. He advised
the city to take local measures to stoI
gambling before the inevitable sun.
/ preston came from elsewhere. In the
! same connection he advocated higf
! license for saloons.
Referring to the Sunday law the
governor said the executive depart.
ment was using its best efforts to Sc.
cure the enforcement of the law.
| Governor Hagerman declared, how.
ever that the enforcement of oul
election laws was more important
than the enforcement of any Other
laws on the statute books.
! The governors address throughou
was heard with close attention AM
created a most favorable impression

pressed appreciation for the efforts o.

.EARLE'S REORGANIZATION
SCHEME Is AGREED TO

Willingness to Bear His
Share of Burden Of Saving
Institution,

Philadelphia, Sept. All the di-
rectors Of the wrecked Real Estate
Trust company have agreed to Re-
ceiver Earles plan for the reorgani-
Zation of the company. Today Mr.
Earle received "A telegram from DR..
s. Weir Mitchell the only member OF
the board OF directors who is away
from the city, agreeing to the proposl-
ton that the directors contribute the
amount deemed necessary by the re-
ceiver. Mr.. Mitchell expresses his
willingness to bear his portion OF the
burden. The other directors had
previously assented to the plan.
Receiver Earle spent today at his
home at Bryn Mawr working on the
details of his proposition, which he
hopes to be able to present to the di-
rectors tomorrow. He also expects to
call a general meeting of stockholders
and depositors In order to thoroughly
acquaint them with his purpose.
The loan made to Segal by Presl-
dent Hlpple aggregates more than
$5, 900. 900 and his securities are be-
lieved to be worth about $4,000. 600.
