The Rich Men In the senate.

| When William A. Clark, of Mon
tana, gets out of the senate, as he has
announced he will do at the expira-
ton of his present term, March 4, 1907,
the richest man in what has beer call
ed the "millionaires' club will have
gone. Mr.. Clark h as too much busi-
ness to bother with the senate. His
mining enterprises require his time.
Besides the republicans have control
Of Montana and it 10 doubtful IL the
democrats will be able to elect legis-
lature this year. Mr.. Ciark's colleague
is genial Thomas H, Carter, who is
rich only in the estimation of those
who know him.
Nobody knows how much money
Senator Clark is worth. 1t is pretty
safe to estimate it at $50, 900 900 as he
ranks among the wealthiest men In
the country.
1t il probable that the richest man
in the senate now il Francis G.. New
lands, democrat, Of Nevada, although
he lost heavily in the San Francisco
disaster. He was executor Of the Rhar-
on estate, which owned the Palace no.
tel and mnch other valuable property.
He owns a great deal of property in all
parts Of the country, having heavy
interests in Washington.
Stephen B Elklns,o of West Virginia
probably ranks along with Senator
Newiani, possibly ahead of him, in
actual dollars possessed. Nathan b.
Scott, of the same state, is ranked as y
wealthy man, CHASING some where
around million or more.
Proctor, of Vermont: Knox. of Penn
sTlvania; Ankeny, of Washington;
Crane. of Massachusetts,; Dryden and
X san, of New Jersey; Aldsich and
Wetmore, OF Rhode Island, ana sever
al others are classed among the mill
lionaires.

SENA CASE. DISMISSED.
United States Judge Phillips Takes
This Action on Appeal Says
Dispatch.

A dispatch on the date of July "a,
in the st. Louis Globe-Democrat says
that on technicality of law Mariana
Sena of Santa Fe will not serve four
years at hard labor in the penitentiary
at Santa Fe for the alleged forgery
of receipts, purporting to have been
given by Arthur ]. Tinker to Pedro
Sanches, supervisor Of census, as an
interpreter. An opinion in the case
was handed down by Judge Phillips In
the United States court OF appeals.
Sena was convicted I'm four courts
and sentenced to one year and day
in each. The supreme court of the
Territory of New Mexico admitted that
a statute under which the right to
have the Judgment of the district court
reviewed on appeal by the supreme
court of the Territory was repealed,
without saving clause; that the auth
ority of the appellate court to review
the case was taken away, and it was
left without jurisdiction over the sub
ject matter. The supreme court, how.
ever, affirmed the sentence of the low.
er court, when, in Judge Phillips opin.
ion, it could only dismiss the case.
This case was heard before Judge
Phillips in the United States court of
appeals for the eighth circuit at st.
Paul, Minnesota, several months ago.
Assistant U. S. Attorney =. l.. Med
ler, of Albuquerque, represented the
United States. The action and deci-
sion of the trial court, over which
Judge Merle presided, was never re-
viewed by the territorial supreme
court. This latter court dismissed
the case on the ground that the ap-
peal had never been perfected and
then added an order affirming the
Judgment OF the lower court. Judge
Phillips evidently held THAT if there
was no jurisdiction in the territorial
supreme court, even the case by virtue
OF the appeal not having been perfect
ed, the court had no power to affirm
the decision of the lower court. That
is, the territorial supreme court has
absolutely no jurisdiction in the case
to enter any order, except that of
dismissal Until the text of the deci-
sion in the case reaches here, 1t can
not be definitely stated what the order
OF the court of appeal is and what the
result will be, but according to the
report as taken from the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat's dispatch, the dismis-
sal by Judge Phillips virtually closes
the matter and the defendant will not
have to serve the sentence imposed
upon him by the trial court for the
First Judicial District in Santa Fe.

ALLEGED SLAYER
IN ROSWELL JAIL
Juan Hernandez Accused Of Shootinu
Oemecio Rubio Two Years
Ago Under Arrest.

News comes from Roswell that Juan
Hernandez, the man accused of shoot
ing to death Demecio Rubio on the
plains twelve miles southwest of
Roswell on February l, 1904. is now
in the Chaves County bastile. He
was arrested several days ago In
Abilene, Texas. on charge Of horse.
stealing and was recognized by the
officers there as the man wanted for
man-slaughter in New Mexico. They
notified Sheriff Woodruff, who had
sent descriptions of Hernandez all ov-
er the Southwest, and when the
Chaves County officer went after him,
they readily gave him up to answer
the more serious charge. Sheriff
Woodruff came in Sunday with the
prisoner, bringing him hand-cuffed as
he was said to be desperate charac.
ter He will be given a hearing as
soon as the lawyers can arrange for
the trial.
The killing of the Rubio boy is we'll
remembered by Roswell people. He
was found several days after he was
shot, the body in decayed condition.
He was the son of Juan Rubio, a we'll
known horse owner. Hernandez was
accused of the crime for various rea.
sons, one of which was that the boy
was an important witness against
him in case that was up for trial
about that time, and another reason
was that Hernandez disappeared after
the killing. When arrested at Abb
lene, Hernandez was going under the
name of Juan Goterrez His wife was
with MIN. He did not admit that he
was Juan Hernandez until within ten
miles Of Carlsbad and he told Sher.
if Woodruff that he was the man ac-
cused. He knew there we're many
men in Roswell who would recognize
him anyway.
When seen at the Jail by Record
reporter yesterday morning Juan was
reticent about the crime with which
he is charged. He denied that he was
guilty. His wife is still at Abilene.

A lynching bee which would prob.
ably have had fatal ending but for
the timely intervention of some of the
railroad men and townpeople occurred
last Sunday at Epris, station on the
Eastern Railway of New Mexico, A
gang of tramns struck the town and
proceeded to get drunk. One of the
hoboes robbed two of his comrades of
$40 and a gold watch. The others
when they discovered who the thief
was conceived the idea of hanging
him, and strung him up to the caves
of large warehouse. When cut down
the victim was unconscious and would
likely have been strangled to death
had he been suspended any longer
with his heels kicking in the air. The
would-be lynchers beat a hasty retreat
and the tramp they attempted to hang
also disappeared as soon as he was
resusitated.

Rev. George F. Sewer, of the First
Presbyterian Church announces that
the bill for improvements on the
