a long time. He KNEW THEY
WE'RE ROTTEN in other important
respects.
When Mr.. Bursum, the boss OF the
party, the steering committee of one
of the last legislature, and by far
the biggest man in the party, was
removed from Office, an examination
of the books of the Penitentiary by a
tFained expert showed absolutely
that its financial affairs were in a
scandalous condition, and that large
sums of money had been stolen by
somebody. When this examination
was going on, Bursum evidently got
ratified, and returned $1,700 to the
Treasurer of the Territory. He was
in due time cited to appear before a
grand jury, charged with embeZzle-
ment of the public funds, and escap-
ed Indictment by a bare majority He
was then informed that civil suit
would be brought against him to re-
cover large sums of money which
he had denied before the grand jury
that he had ever taken. Rather than
face exposure before a court of law,
he returned about $4,000 more to
the Treasurer. The Record under
stands there are other 1aSge sums
which he may be compelled to re-
turn
Everybody knows that the last leg
islative assembly, which was all Re
publican but three members, and mad
power to do as it pleased, was the
most scandalous thing of it's kind in
the history of New Mexico. 1t is also
known that Bursum practically con-
trolled it. His friends and tools,

ton, were made chairmen of the FL
nancial Committees of the House
and Council, $4,000 of public money
was voted into their hands for al
legged public purposes, and $4,000 of
it has never been accounted for.
These two men were well known to
be unworthy of trust.
Now then, Mr.. Andrews knew per
fectly all the facts we have just stat
ed, and many more as bad, and yet
he had the audacity and the indie
cency to get Mr.. Bursum again made

Committee. Against the protests of

Storm in the South.

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 19.-With the
exception of eight deaths reported
last night as a result of the storm
Saturday night and Sunday which
swept portions of Tennessee, Missis-
sippi, Alabama and Arkansas, there
has been no further loss of life. Tele-
graphic communication gradually is
being restored, but railroad traffic
is greatly impaired. Rain continues
to fall, but the volume is greatly di-
minished Reports from Western Ten
nessee show that the railroads suffer
ed greater damage than ever before.
Farmers suffered great loss of both
crops and live stock.
(The Record received no telegraph
today from Colorado and other north
ern points, from which we infer that
the storm was much worse north of
us than here.-Ed.)

Storm Didn't Damage Telephones.
Roswell's telephone system was
not injured by the neavy snow. How
ever, the linemen had to work all day
Sunday on Lea avenue and Eighth
street to save poles that were threat

put out of commission by the storm.
The long distance phones are work
ing. with one exception. The line just
this side of Elida is down. and it may
be several days before it can be re-
paired.

STEAMER WRECKED
AND MANY DROWNED

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 19.-The steam
mon, bound from Seattle to Port
Blakely with passengers, sank two
miles north of Alkah Point shortly
after seven o'clock last night, soon
after having been in collision with
the steamer Jeanie, Capt. P. H. Ma
son. Forty-one passengers AMI mem
bers of the crew of the Dix are miss
ing and 80 saved. The Dix is a total
wreck. The Jeanie was not injured
and no members of her crew were
lost The collision occurred while the
sound was almost as smooth as a
mill-pond, and after the boats had
been steaming within sight of each
other for a quarter of an hour. The
Jeanie was backing when she collided
with the Dix and the impact was very
lignt. The Dix was struck abaft amid
ship on the startOard side. She listed
heavily to port for brief period,
righted herself and then sank stern
first There was hardly time to

was almost entirely submerged The
passengers jumped from the decks
into the water, women screamed,
and officers and men calling orders
could hardly be heard above the din.
Passengers who could swim made
their way to the sides of the Jeanie
and were dragged aboard. The crew
of the Jeanie did all possible to res
cue the survivors.
The captain of the e~Jeanie says he
signalled for the Dix to pass him and
his whistle was answered. Suddenly
the mate who was at the wheel of
the Dix, put her hard to starboard.
as if to pass in front of the other yes
sci. The captain of the Jeanie, wno
was on the bridge, saw that an acct
dent was imminent and called out a
warning to the Dix. He also gave the
signal to reverse his engines ani
his vessel was slowly backing away
when the two came together. There
was a slight CRASH and a panic on
the Dix followed almost Immediately.
When the Dix started to sink pass
engers and members of the crew
leaped into the sound. Some of the
passengers, however, huddled toge-
ther into group on the deck while
others prayed. The women who had
little chance for their lives, stayed
with the steamer and were drowned
as in trap.
Captain Lennon, of the Dix, who
was saved, says he does not know
now the accident happened.
He was below collecting fares of
passengers when he heard the signal
to stop. He rushed on deck to see
what was the matter just as the col
iision occurred. The people on deck
he said slid into the water, but those
in the cabin were all lost. He said
that he did not believe the Dix badly
damaged by the collision. 1t was the
heeling over on ner port beam that
caused her loss. She filled with water
as soon as she went over and this
took her down. The Dix sank in a
hundred fatheoms of water.
