WHOLESALE GRATING
BY SECTION FOREMAN
Santa Fe Secret Service Officers
Make important Arrest
at Trinidad, Colo.

Trinidad, Colo, April 1S.-Charged
with padding the payrolls while Sec
ton foreman for the Santa Fe Rail-
way, Joseph Trosper, who has been
foreman for the company here several
months, was arrested and placed in
jail by members of the secret service
department of the Santa Fe Railway
The arrest is said to be the result of
several months investigation by the
Santa Fe officials, who had reason to
believe that large amounts of money
were grated by padding pay rolls.
One feature of the arrest is the al
legged fact that young son of Tros-
per, 16 years of age, who is attending
school, was on the regular pay roll of
his father as an employe. When Tros-
per and his son were taken into Gus.
tody today is was stated by the sher-
if that application for the boys third
months pay had already been made
and turned in on the report sheet.
The Santa Fe officials are reticent
regarding the arrest, but intimated
that others are liable to be taken into
custody at any time. Trosper did not
have his preliminary hearing today
and it is believed from this that more
arrests will be made tonight or to-
morrow.

ANNIVERSARY Of
FRISCO QUAKE
Appalling Disaster
Occurred One
Year Ago
CITY RAPIDLY REBUILDING
Record of Rehabilitation
Without Parallel in Worlds
History.

San Francisco, April 1S.--One year
ago today San Francisco was all but
wiped out of existence by fire succeed
ing terrific earthquake shock
Nearly a quarter of million people
were rendered homeless and the
financial loss amounted to about $500
100000 The city was left mass of
smoking ruins and rehabilitation
seemed matter of many years.
First Anniversary in Striking Contrast
Today the sun rose from cloudless
sky over busy metropolis in which
the volume of business was more than
equal that Of twelve months ago and
whose population is fast approaching
its former figures. Such a record Is
without parallel in the worlds history
During the past year $4,000, ,00O
have been expended in the work OF
reconstruction. Over $30,000,000 have
been paid out for labor, and $4,000
men are now engaged in the building
trades industry, while before the fire
only 10000 We're at work.
Permanent Buildings Now Going Up.
Temporary construction which for
a while prevailed, has now ceased and
permits for the erection Of first class
fire proof structures to cost over $50,
100000, have been granted. The re-
construction of many old buildings
which survived the flames, is now in
progress and these will require many
millions of dollars more to complete
About 200 miles of street railway
that was rendered useless are now in
running order Perhaps the most
convincing proof of the substantial re
Mobilization of the city is shown by the
bank clearings which for March ex
ceeded by nearly two and half mil
lion dollars the figures for the same
month of last year.
Observance Takes Form of Holiday.
In recognition and celebration OF
what has been done, services were
held in various cities in California
and while not a legal holiday, work
was suspended in many places. To.
night the Merchants Association will
fittingly commemorate the uprising
OF San Francisco by grand banquet
at the splendid new Fai. mont Hotel
10 which many prominent citizens
are invited.

patches this forenoon stated that at

The announcement as to Governor
Hagerman's resignation astonished no
one except few Hagerman adherents
and office-holders who were striving
against hope and believing against
facts that Hagerman would be. able
to retain his position. On the other
hand, the many people who desired his
removal and change in the guber
material Office, have been pretty we'll
satisfied for weeks and longer that
Hagerman's resignation was ques-
tion Of but few days and that it was
sure to come, as the charges that had
been filed were very serious and had
in no way been disproven by Hager
man.
Curry Prominent in Politics.

(By Associated Press.)

Washington, April 1s.--Gov-
ernor Herbert J. Hagerman, Of
New Mexico, against whom

preferred, has rendered his res
ignation and President Roose-
welt today announced the ap-
pointment Of Captain George

swer the charges against him
which related to the unlawful

Of his retirement was not to
have been made officially until
next Monday upon his return to

Mr.. Curry entered upon his politi

mated on the Democratic ticket as
county clerk of Lincoln County and
'he was elected by a large majority
Two years later he was elected as
assessor of Lincoln County and In
1892 he became sheriff Of Lincoln
County.
In 1894 as already mentioned, Mr.
Curry was elected to the Council ol
the Thirty-first Legislative Assembly
representing the district composed ol
Lincoln, Chaves, Eddy, Dona Ana and
Grant Counties, and was chosen as
president of that body
Ten years later, the New Mexican
had found no occasion to change it's
high opinion of Captain Curry and his
ability for it published, with approval
the following sketch from the Manila
American, furnished by Judga John R
McFie:
One of the most important depart.
ments of the city government has for
it's head man of wide experience and
during his term of office Chief George
Curry has brought the police depart
ment to high degree of proficiency.
Chief Curry was born at Bayou
Sara, Louisiana, in 1863 In 1879 he
located in New Mexico. where he
served as clerk in the employ of Darl-
ing & Company. merchants at Fort
Stanton He was elected treasurer of
Lincoln County, New Mexico, in 1886
clerk of the same county in 1888, as
SCISSOR in 1890 and sheriff in 1892 In
1894 he was elected senator and re.
elected in 1896, the later term being
president of the Territorial Senate He
was appointed clerk of the District
Court in 1896 and resigned that posi-
tion in 1898 to accept the captaincy OF
H. troop, Roosevelt's Rough Riders.
He served all through the Cuban cam.
paign with that famous organization
and was mustered out in September
1898. He served on the staff of the
Governor Of New Mexico after this,
and was president of the Board of
Regents of the Military Institute at
Roswell.
"On August IL, 1899, he accepted a
first lieutenancy in the Eleventh Cav.
airy, and upon the muster-out of that
regiment in June, 1901, was appointed
Governor Of Ambos Camarines. He
resigned to accept the position of chief
Of police Of Manila. During the time
Mr.. Curry has been serving his coun.
try he has sacrificed his business in.
terests. He has, however, made him.
self popular with the natives not only
as Governor but as chief of police. He
believes in fighting when there is any
fighting to be done and as civil off.
Ger he devotes himself to bettering
the conditions Of the people.
"He is a personal friend of Presi
dent Roosevelt, having won the conf
dence Of his colonel during his distin-
guished service with the Rough Rid
ers."
High In Presidents Favor.
How high Captain Curry stands in
the estimation of President Roosevelt
is shown by the following incident:

Democrat in politics, although very
popular with Republicans. His Dem.

kind. He represented the district

At the breaking out of the Spanish.
American war he was appointed by
Governor M. A. Otero, captain of
Troop H, First U. S. Volunteer Cav
airy, the Rough Riders" and saw
active service with the regiment dur
ing the war. His military record is of
the best. Upon muster-out October
Is, 1893, of the regiment at Montauk
Point, Long Island, he returned to
this Territory and engaged in live
stock raising and business pursuits in
Lincoln County for two years, until he
was called to Manila, where he was
appointed chief of police of that city,
a position which he held for two years
and in which he did great and good
service Thereafter, he held other i'm
portant places in the islands under
the Philippine government, and two
years ago was appointed Governor of
the Isle of Samar. His achievements
and record in that position are very

mented upon by the newspapers of the
country.
| Captain Curry, it is expected, will
raech San Francisco in few days, as
he left Manila some time since for the
United States. 1t is believed he will
report to the President in Washington
before proceeding to this Territory.
Life History Of Curry.
! The following biographical sketch of
Captain Curry is taken from the files
OF the Daily New Mexican of April
1895. On the third Monday of that
month, Captain Curry was elected
president of the Council of the Thir-
Ity-frst Legislative Assembly. His
life's history is interesting and reads
Among the younger citizens OF
New Mexico none are more worthy OF
mention than George Curry, who
has attained prominence in political
and business circles and won
an honored place among the leading
men Of the Territory. With strength
of character and indomitahle energy
he has risen from the ranks and Is
now regarded as one of the brilliant
statesmen Of the Southwest.
"He was born in 1852, in Bayou
Sara, Louisiana, son Of George, and
Clara Curry. His father died while he
was a mere boy. When he was not
yet twelve years of age his mother re-
moved to Dodge City, Kansas, where
her death occurred in 1879. Having
been left fatherless in early childhood
he became self-reliant and was a
great help to his mother during the
few remaining years of her life. He
was seventeen years old at the time
OF her death.
"Mr. Curry came to New Mexico
from Kansas and located at Fort Stan.
ton, near Lincoln. His first employ
ment in the Territory was on cat
tie ranch, where he started in work
ing for his board and lodging.
Later he became clerk In store
at Fort Stanton and continued In that
position until 1884, when he removed
