As these expenditures have been in.
Cured in seven months it Is clear
that at this rate the expenditures for
the year would aggregate $4,000.
while the appropriation itself Is but
$35,000 and since the recent manage.
ment Of the penitentiary has spent
$4,000 out of this fund in seven
months, the incoming superintendent
is confronted with the problem of
continuing the maintenance for five
months with less than $1,000 available
in the fund.
The report of the former superin-
tendent which was submitted to the
Governor on December !, 1906,
placed considerable stress on a bal
ance of about $4,000, then said to
be on hand with all bills paid Inves-
tigatiOn shows that 1896 of this
balance stood to the credit of one of
the road funds. probably due to the
fact that but little work was being
done during the winter and of course
was not available for maintenance in
any shape, There were practically no
balances in any of the other funds.
Upon the other hand there must have
been great many outstanding bills
for maintenance, as the payments
made from this fund during the first
quarter aggregated, as shown. over
$4,000.
Many claims have been made
through the press and otherwise as
to the unusually economical manapa

Roswell, N. NJ, July 6.-The disclo-

the Territorial penitentiary and in

the Hagerman administration have at.

contributed towards turning the SEN
timent of the best people of the Pecos

news also that the report made by an
expert sent by the Colorado TITLE

O. Bursum of the prison was accused
of having not paid over to the Terri
torial treasury great sums of money,

in which he was charged virtually
with being an embezzler was incor-

Hagerman's political chances greatly.
Since Hagerman left office it is re-

to capture the next Republican Ter
ritorial convention and to send a dele
cation from New Mexico with Hager-
man as chairman to that body, This

has all died out.

All OF the members were present at

Sulzer Of Albuquerque, Secretary
Charles f. Easley, OF Santa Fe; Thom
as W. Hayward, of Las Vegas; ]. R.
DeMier, Of Alamogordo, and Price
Walters, Of Aztec.
The meeting was called to order at
2:30 o'clock by President Suzer. The
first order of business was the read
ing OF the minutes of the last session
which were approved. The next mat
ter taken up was the report of the
storekeeper of the prison for the
month of May.
Arthur Trelford. former superintend-
ent of the penitentiary, and Samuel
Sample, former assistant superintend-
ent, who were removed upon proven
charges of cruelty to convicts upon
order of Acting Governor Reynolds

ton by Attorney General Prichard,
were present at the meeting in COM
pany with their attorney, Hanna.
Acting Governor Reynolds commun-
ication to the board with reference
to the unsatisfactory financial condi-
tion of the prison and the big deficit
in the maintenance fund confronting
Superintendent Littrell which is pub
lished in full in another column was
read by Secretary Easley.
Board Orders investigation.
When Secretary Easley had finished
reading the communication President
Sulzer stated that he thought the
finances Of the penitentiary ought to
be investigated and he suggested ap-
pointing a committee for this pur-
pose. In this he was seconded by
Mr. Easley. Mr.. Hayward Joined In
the discussion and said he believed
the proper procedure to take was to
file the message which was done.
Former Superintendent Trelford
asked to be heard at this juncture and
was allowed the privilege. He ac.
knowledged having used the $4,000
paid in by Mr. Bursum in the convicts'
earnings fund and also admitted that
the items of expenses were correct.
He denied that his report however,
was inaccurate as charged by Acting
Governor Reynolds.
To Take An Inventory.
Trelford declared that he had no
opportunity of making an inventory
of supplies on hand at he prison
at the time he was removed and he
was persistently prompted by his at
torney, Hanna and also by Secretary
Easley who appears to be running the
board.
Superintendent Littrell who had
been an interested spectator correct
ed Trelford in the latter's statement
that he had had no opportunity OF
making an inventory Of the prison
Mr.. Littrell stated that when Trelford
left the penitentiary on Monday the
deposed superintendent refused to have
anything to do with making an in
yentory Trelford agreed this after
noon however, to assist in taking an
invoice.
The Board was still in session when
the New Mexican went to press and an
will likely be taken until
Monday.

that Mr.. Bursum did not owe tnat
sum to the Territory it will become
a charge against the penitentiary,
which institution is without funds to
meet the payment.
Much more serious, however, is the
present state of affairs, as an exami-
nation of the official records in the
office of the Territorial treasurer
shows that the finances of the peniten-
tiary are in very unsatisfactory con-
dition, this being true particularly
with reference to the maintenance
fund. 1t appears that payments for
