dress Wednesday Might The Pub
lie Generally Invited.

The Commencement exercises of
the New Mexico Military Institute
are to begin Sunday, May 20, when
Rev. E. Mcqueen Gray, of Carlsbad
will deliver the Baccalaureate SER
mon. This sermon is to be preached
in the Institute Gymnasium, and the
public is cordially invited to attend
Various military and athletic exer-
cises are scheduled for Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, and the of
ficers and cadets expect to do all
in their power to make everything
as pleasant as possible for their Wis
itors The Battalion is in the very
best of condition, and is arranging to
have several new features in the ex-
hibition drills The track team has

considered the strongest baseball
aggregation in the Territory. This is
the first time since 1899, when the
Cadets gave the Agricultural Col
stitute has had an opportunity to
cross bats with real New Mexico
team
The Society celebration and the
Graduating exercises are to be held
in the Mess Hall. Special arrange
ments had been made for a final de-
bate, but owing to the fact that the
captain of one of the teams was
obliged to leave the Institute a short
time ago, it became necessary to en-
tirely change the plans, and instead
of having debate, the Cadets will
contest in oratory. This celebration
will take place Tuesday night, be-
ginning at nine O'Clock. The people
of Roswell will be specially interest
ed in the graduating exercises. owing
to the fact that Governor Hagerman
is to deliver the address. Governor
Hagerman is himself a young man
and is still enthusiastic when talking
of his college days, which will, no
doubt, make his words especially at
tractive to the Cadets. AS is natural
for college graduate, he has mani
tested a great deal of interest in the
educational work of this Territory,
and he will, undoubtedly, give the
people of Roswell as well as the
Cadets. some splendid advice.

TERRITORIAL ENCAMP-
MENT TO BE ABANDONED.
New Mexico National Guard to Take
Part in Regular Army Camp
at Austin, Tex.

New Mexico National Guard to Take
Part in Regular Army Camp
at Austin, Tex.
Santa Fe New Mexican.
A circular has been issued by Ad-
jutant General Harrington to the
captains of the different companies of
the National Guard of New Mexico,
asking them to make preparation for
the annual encampment to last one
week, to be held at a point to be Sc
lected hereafter, and Immediately af-
ter its close to prepare to leave for
Austin, Texas, where regular troops
will be in camp, and to spend two
weeks in a joint encampment. Since
issuing the circular, however, the ad-
visibility of doing away with the
Territorial encampment has been con-
sidered and probably will be ordered
1t is believed that, if both encamp-
ments are held, the New Mexico Ma
home for three, weeks, and in the
majority of cases this will deter ma
ny from taking part. This, being the
case, it is thought better to have the
New Mexico National Guard partic-
ipate in the regular army encamp-
ment at Austin, thus leaving plenty
of funds to insure an encampment of
the Territorial forces next year.

Denver News Special.

Denver News Special.
Washington, May 1.-THE Secre-
tary of the Interior today transmitted
to congress a letter touching on some
land frauds in New Mexico, which is
very interesting in view of the
names of the parties connected with
the alleged illegal doings that nave
been uncovered. The main actor who
has been designated bad by the Sec
retary of the Interior, who has
had his agent. E. P Holcombe, in
New Mexico for some time, is no
less a person than William H. An
drews, at present congressional del
egate from New Mexico. A letter
containing the full findings of Agent
Holcombe is1 transmitted to congress.
Set forth therein is the statement
that w. H. Andrews, acting through
his agent W. S. Hopewell, who appar-
sylvania Development company and
the New Mexico Fuel and Iron,
sought to obtain from the territorial
land board of New Mexico some 10000
acres of timber land in Valencia coun-
ty at q price of SO per acre. The ne
gotiations began late in 1901 and ex-
tended over a period of two years, dur
ing which various persons were mar
shaled before the territorial land
board and presented with deeds to
16O acres of land each
Company Paid for Lands.
These lands were openly paid for
by the Pennsylvania Development Co.
of which Andrews is the head. The
lands in question formerly belonged
to one of the famous New Mexico
grants and they were turned over
by congress to the territorial govern
ment, with the express stipulation
that not more than $50 acres should
be sold to any one person or corpora
ton, and that not more tnan $40 acres
should be so leased
The territorial land board seems to
have erred as well as Mr.. Andrews
and his associates Z Agent Holcombe
set forth in his letter that the land
board even gave deeds TO the land on
credit, the Pennsylvania Development
company's note for $4,000 being one
money when some forty-four deeds ag
gregating nearly 1000 acres were re-
corded as passing to the company.
Although the department of the in
terror has investigated the irregulari-
ties concerning these New Mexico
grants, that department is powerless
to carry on prosecutions.
Congress to Apply Remedy.
When congress turned the lands ov-
er to the territorial government that
body became responsible for the ad-
ministration of its decree, and now
that the territorial land board has dis
obeyed the order restricting the
amount Of land that should go to each
