But Mr.. Carlin comes from Alexandria
the most historic city in the state,
which has had no congressman for
many years. Mr.. Carlin has some-
thing more than the mere fact that he
once sold newspapers. He comes from

which Robert E. Lee led. He has de-
veloped as few young men with like
advantages have developed. He has
won for himself a place second to
none among the bar of Virginia and
he is recognized in the old common
wealth as one of the very best lawy-
ers in the state. It is because of the
fact that he is young, vigorous, clean
and progressive that the voters of the

New York, Feb. 27.-Harriman took
the witness chair at little after ten
o'clock today to resume his testimony
in the interstate commerce hearing.
Hartman in answer to kellogg, testi-
fed that the Union Pacific had pur-
chased the st. Joe and Grand Island
since last year. The price paid was
$2,O22,O00, and the witness had owned
property and sold it to the Union Pa
cific.
Objections was made to questions
as to whom he bought the stock of
St. joe and Grand Island and what
he paid for it, and the witness de-
clined to answer. Kellogg asked if it
was not fact that of $22,OOO,OOO said
to have been spent on the Chicago &
Alton, $2,740,0OO was made up of car
trust certificates and $1,000, 900 loan
from the Kuhn, Loeb & company, so
that the expenditures on the line out
of new securities sold were only about
$1S,000,000. Hartman said that pos
sibly the figures We're correct. He
simply knew that $22,0OO,O00 had been
spent on the line.
The witness was then excused and
Otto Kuhn of Kuhn, Loeb & company,
took the stand.

FINDS OLD, CHUM
Returning From Alaska Miner
Saves Boyhood Crony's
Body From Morgue.

New York, Feb. 27.-Seth Parker,
70 years old, who had lived in New
York fifty years, was found dead in
his room in the American hotel, Thir-
teenth street and Fourth avenue.
Physicians said the aged mans death
was due to natural causes.
When the body was about to be re-
moved from the hotel to the morgue,
Colonel Williams, a patron of the st.
Denis hotel, wealthy Alaska miner,
happened along and said he would
be responsible for the proper care
and burial of the body Colonel Will
liams then told something of Parkers
history.
He said Parker came to New York
from New England fifty years ago,
scion of a wealthy New England
family, determined to make his own
way in the world. He began as a
salesman for a clothing firm and be-
came such a successful saleman that
his income jumped to high figures.
Mr.. Parker took suite of apart
ments in the st. Denis, where Col
onel Williams lived, and the two be-
came fast friends and continued so
until some ten years ago, when Park
er, because of his age, found his earn
ings lowered to such figure he was
unable to longer live at the St. Denis
and had to seek humber quarters.
Colonel Williams went to the Klon-
dixie and made fortune. He sent
to his friend regular allowance,
which supplemented by money which
Mr.. Parker. regularly received from
brother in New England, enabled
the aged man to live in comfort.
Colonel Williams came back to New
York only few days ago and was
deeply affected when he heard of his
old chum's death.

state to the jury all you know
about the so-called cablegram to Stan

Delmas.
THAT is objected to-" interposed
Mr.. Jerome. Il was stopped by Mr..
Delmas yesterday from pursuing this
subject on the ground that had ex-
hausted the witness recollection on
the subject. 1t is possible, however,
that her memory has been refreshed"
"That is an insinuation," interrupted
Mr.. Delmas.
"It is not an insulation at ALL" re-
piled Mr. Jerome.
"A witness memory may be re-
freshed with perfect propriety."'
"Then," said Mr.. Delmas, Il with

"And l withdraw the objection" !"

Mrs. Thaw said she remembered
nothing further about the cablegram
than that 1t had to do with her moth
er and the attache of the American
embassy in London, who "sneaked up
to her bedroom"
Here a twenty-minute recess was
taken.
Mr.. Delmas continued to question
Mrs. Thaw after the recess, asking
her particularly about the yachting
trips with James A. Garland. She
said she was always accompanied by
her mother and there was never the
slightest impropriety.
"Did you ever hear that you had
been mentioned in any way in connec-
tion with tho Garland divorce case

when l met Stanford White Mr.
Garland went to mamma and said If
we had anything to do with Mr.. White
he would have nothing to do with us. -
"Mr. Garland is dead, isn't he?" in
terrupted Mr.. Jerome.
"Yes, SIR"
Mrs. Thaw repeated the story of the
return of the $50 which Thaw sent her
in bunch of flowers.
"Did you return this money of your
own accord?"
"I<put it up to the stage manager"
she replied. 81 told him about it and
he told me l should send it back at
once.a
The relations of Mrs. Thaw and
George Lederer were inquired into.
Mrs. Thaw said that his conduct was
always that of respect and honor"
you mentioned several young men
whom you said were paying atten-

belong to families Of high social posi-
tion?"
Mr.. Jerome objected.
"Then l must bring out the names,"
said Mr.. Delmas.
"Oh, you can't scare me that way"
said Mr.. Jerome.
Mr.. Delmas did not press the point,
but asked: "Were their attentions al
ways respectful and honorable?"
well, all they did was to ask me
to parties and send me flowers"
WAS there anything improper in
their attentions?"
Nothing"
WAS the second operation per-
formed on you in 1904 necessary as
the result of the first?" asked Mr..
Delmas.
Mr.. Jerome objected. He said these
operations were not of criminal
character. He had tried to bring out
their true character on cross-exam-
ination, but Mr.. Delmas had objected.
Justice Fitzgerald sustained the OBJ
lection.
'That is ALL" said Mr.. Delmas, and
the redirect examination was closed.
Mr.. Jerome began his re-cross ex-
animation Immediately by asking:

"He continued at school until White

Mrs. Thaw was here permitted to
clear up the transfer of the famous
letter of credit to her mother. She
said it had been given back to Stan
ford White and he gave it to Mrs. Nes-
bit. She said she had not endorsed
the letter when she gave it to Thaw
in Paris.
Mr.. Delmas objected to any ques-

Resolution of Inquiry Into a
New Mexico Deal Passed By
House of Reps.
SECRETARY OF INTERIOR
INVITED TO EXPLAIN
Why It Was Sante Fe Railway Was
Permitted to Drive Off Settlers and
Wrongfully Script Certain New
Mexico Lands Claimed to Be Rich
in Mineral.
CBy e.. e.. snySeY.l

Washington, D. c., Feb. 27.-Anoth-
er possible mineral land scandal is
involved in the passage of a resolu-
tion of inquiry by the house of repre-
sentatives. 1t calls upon the secre-
tary of the interior to inform the house
what disposition, if any, had been
made of the lands in two townships
in New Mexico, comprising $4,000
acres of land, located in the old At
lantic and Pacific railroad grant, now
controlled by the Santa Fe. Between
the railroad company and a number Of
prospectors controversy has been
raging for some years over the ter
ritory descibed, and the latte asserts
that patents have been wrongfualy is
sued to the corporation for the lands.
A petition presented by delegate An
drews, of New Mexico, sets up that for
many years these lands have been
known to contain large deposits Of
copper ore, and that the terms of the
act conveying the grant, excluded all
mineral lands, should any be found to
exist, save those containing coal and
iron. About Is years ago the rail-
road company sold a large tract of
land in New Mexico and upon an ex-
animation Mr.. Spaulding, father-in-
law of the one of the Mitchells re-
fused to advise his son-in-law to COM
plete the purchase Of these two town
ships for the reasons that they con-
tained copper in such quantities that
they could nct be held g under the
grant. At that time no patent had
been issued to the company, and abaut
the year 1900 number of mining
claims were located upon the two
townships and mining has been going
on ever since. Despite this it is
alleged patent were issued to the rail-
road company in 1902 for the odd
number sections of the townships, and
in the past year two agents Of the
Santa Fe have located forest lien
scrip upon a number of the even
numbered sections. 1t is further al
legged that the railroad agents deceiv>
ed miners and prospect0rs as to their
real mission, saying they were going
to locate timber land in another Sec
ton.
The secretary of the Interior is re-
quested to state whether or not other
minerals than coal and iron are found
in the said two townships; whether
any mining or prospecting had been
done there or locations filed prior to
1902; and whether or not lien forest
reserve land scrip has been filed on
said land by the Santa Fe company, its
agents or assignees, and if SO when
and by whom.
Delegate Andrews says the lands in
question are situated about IS miles
west of Alberuerque and are COM
monty reported to be rich in copper.
It has been reported to him that the
railroad company officials have driv-
en- settlers miners of the ground.
