NATIONAL CONSCIENCE
MIR. KNAPP BELIEVES IT Is
AWAKE TO PUBLIC INTERESTS.

Chairman Knapp of the interstate conf
merce commission thinks the national con-
science is awakening. He says the pass
evil is becoming recognized as great evil,
and from being badge of distinction, is
now recognized, If not a mark of in
fanny, at least as distinction of sinister
sort.
Chairman Knapp spoke last night before
the Mems Club of the Assemblys Presby
terrain Church, and went over the whole
of the railroad situation. He said that the
governments of foreign countries controlled
all the railroads directly. This country
had never come to look with favor on
government ownership. but it is now vitality
interested In government supervision of the
rates. The railway, he said, is a public
road, and is of essential use to the COM
nuEity, Just much as the dirt road.
1t should be open on equal terms to every
one, and this was what was being aimed
at in the present contest for rate legisla-
ton.
lie said that the total valuation of rail-
road property in the United States has
reached the enormous figure of S11, 25e, 000,-
coo.
These roads he said, might he divided
into eight great groups-the Hill, Harri-
man, Vanderbilt Atchison, Pennsylvania,
Atlantic Coast. Southern and Rock Island.
This included fully 40 per cent of the roads
and ,three-Quarters of the traffic and the
receipts. The men who are at the head of
the railroads are also at the head of the
OIL steel and other great industries. All
these interests had common center in
New York, and the problem that is before
the people is in reality far deeper than the
mere regulation of rates 1t is the control
of wealth itself, and the problem of
whether the country should be governed
frSr /, f,crtn or a1t Cfra
He thought the railroad situation should
be regulated by publicity, which will do
much to correct any evils complained of.
| There should be a sworn statement each
year of traffic, earnings and expenses.
Giving of rebates should be made a Grim
inal misdemeanor. The rates should be
made by such body as shall be designated
by Congress. But the question of whether
such regulation should be .of a Legislative
or judicial character was a matter yet to
be determined.

ARRESTED FOR
STEALING HORSES
Grave Charges Against Antonio Ri.
vera and Esquibel Leyba Of La
cienega-In Jail.

Charged with the theft of seven
horses, Antonio Rivera and Esequiel
Leyba, were arrested yesterday at
La Cienega, and lodged in jail this
morning in Santa Fe. They were TAX
en- into custody on warrants sworn
out by Thomas w. Hanna, the stock
raiser who is now living in the vicinity
of Lamy but was formerly engaged
in the retail meat business in the
Capital.
Mr.. Hanna lost seven horses about
two years ago which disappeared from
his ranch and which he felt sure at
the time had been stolen. No trace of
the missing animals was found up to
few weeks ago when one Of them
was seen at Cerrillos. Investigation
that followed led to the apprehension
of Rivera and Leyba.
Officer Rafael Gomez of the Terri
torial Mounted Police arrested Rivera
and Leyba was gathered in by Depu-
ty Sheriff R. l.. Baca. The prelimi-
nary hearing of the alleged horse
thieves has been set for Monday, Oc-
tober 8th, before Justice Of the Peace
Jose Ma. Garcia.

Rendered by Judge Abbott, in the

milo In BernaiiiIo County.
In the quo warranto case of Frank
A. Hubbell, former treasurer and ex-
offlcio collector of the County Of Ber-

treasurer and ex-officio collector of
Bernalillo County. now in Office, which
was pending in the second judicial dis
trict court for Bernalillo County, and
in which it was stated in these col
umns that Judge Ira A. Abbott had
rendered decision in favor of the de
fendant, the fact is that while Judge
Abbott had given pro forma decision
in the case this was simply done up
on the request of counsel of both
sides for such action by the court. 1t
seems that Judge Abbott has not had
the time necessary to carefully inves-
tigate the case and become satisfied
as to it's various phases for the rendi-
ton of a decision, and would not have
taken up the matter had it not been
at the request of attorneys who de-
sired to get ,..e case before the Janu-
airy term of the Territorial supreme
court for a decision. AS said, the de-
cision is simply pro forma and should
not be taken as settling the law points
involved as far as Judge Abbott is
concerned.

CHASTITY SKELETON
in ADOBE WALL
Found BY Workmen in Remodeling
Building on De Vargas Street
Was Murder Committed?

Was a murder committed in the old

MI tst ol The discol II, Of an adult
Skeleton there yesterday after
H., a'would seem to indicate that
such was the case. While carpenters
were engaged in laying a floor in one
OF the bed rooms the bones were un
earthed, and the finding of them may
prove the solution of a mysterious
crime dating back many years.
What strengthens the murder the.
ory is the fact that the skeleton was
found encased in mud used for max
ing adobe brick which had long since
hardened The skeleton was not ly
ing stretched out but was in half
reclining position or a sitting pos.
ture. The presence of the mud plas.
tering oyer the body is thought to
have been to prevent any odOr issuing
from it during the process of decom.
position.

the building in which the skeleton was
found. He secured possession Of 1t
about two years ago by the foreclosure
of a mortgage. Recently he decided
to have it overhaued, and put in
wooden floors over the earth. One of
the carpenters in welding a pick yes
ter,lay for the cross pieces on which
to nail the floor struck something hard
which aroused his curiosity and sec
ond blow laid bare part of one of the
legs.
Judging from the appearance OF
the bones the skeleton is that of a
man. There are no bullet holes or
marks to indicate foul play. The
skull is intact with none o. the teeth
missing.
When the news spread that The
skeleton had been discovered and the
suspicious circumstances connected
with it, large number of people call
ed at the house to see it. The car.
penters were not at work today and
no one was allowed inside. The skele.
ton is still there but will probably be
buried tomorrow.
Who the person was and il q
murder was committed, who the
murderer was will probably never be
known. 1t was reported on the street
today that a man who had lived in
the house disappeared mysteriously
about twenty years ago and that the
skeleton Is all that is left of him.

NEWSPAPERS AGAINST
INCREASED POSTAGE
Entered Protest Against Carrying Of
Ten Cent Periodicals Under
New Ruling.

New York Oct. A brief on be-
half of the American Newspaper Pub.
fishers Association was submitted on
October 2, to the congressional com
mission on postal matters, which is
In session here and which is inQuir-
Ing into what steps shall be taken by
the government to obliterate the large
annual deficits in the postal service,
due, 1t Is alleged to the handling Of
50 many tons of second.class matter
at the rate Of one cent per pound
The brief Is designed to show that
the legitimate daily newspapers are not
the cause of the deficit and conse-
quentiy are entitled to continuance
OF the prevailing rate. 1t Is assert.
ed that while the government itself
has to pay more than ten cents TO
carry the lOcent magazine from the
publishing Office to the news stand
and subscriber. it derives a profit from
the carrying Of the daily newspapers
1t is declared that the newspapers
have been improperly included in
sweeping assertions that all those en-
titled to the second class mailing
privileges enjoy a gratuity and sub
sidy from the government. The brief
points out that the recent deficits in
the postal revenues were anticipated
by Postmasters General Smith and
Payne because of the establishment
of the rural free delivery system and
that the deficits need not be viewed
with apprehension. The brief suggests
steps that may partially remedy the
abuses which have furnished occas.
sion for complaint.
The belief is expressed that the
transportation of newspapers at | cent
per pound is profitable inasmuch as
express and railroad companies find a
profit in carrying newspapers and
other articles at rates varying from
one quarter cent a pound to one cent
a pound, giving more and better ser.
vice for the money and carrying long.
er distances at the cent pound rate.
