CONGRESSMAN DENY CHARGES
South Dakota Representatives Refute
Anonymous Allegations.
Tell of Employment of MIR. Martins
Son and OtherS-POIitfcaI Situa-
tiOn Is Acute.

Washington developments Indicate that
the political situation In South Dakota is
nearing the critical stage.
The Huron dispatch in The Washington
Herald yesterday was read with great in
terest by the friends Of both Senator
Gamble and Senator Kittredge, and had
the direct effect of eIiciting statements
from Charles II. Burke and Eben W.
Martin, the two Representatives from
South Dakota who were charged with
questionable practices in the anonymous
statement referred to in the dispatch.
The assertion that they had anything
TO do with conniving to make it possible
for L. A. Warner 70 draw salary from
the Federal government while still en-
ployed as private secretary TO Gov. Her
reid, or that Warner drew the double
salary. is denied by both Mr.. Burke and
Mr.. Martin, who also explain the connec-
ton OF Mr.. Martins son with the matter
Il. A. Warner was appointed assistant
index clerk of the House in December,
1904 said Mr.. Burke. He reported in
Washington and entered upon the duties
of the position upon the converting of
Congress in January, 1893, and remained
here and performed the duties Of the posi-
tiCn. Gov. Herreid's term expired the
first of January 1865, and Mr.. Warmers
services as private secretary TO him Ger
tainly could not have continued after
that period. If Nj Warner received any
compensation from Gov Herreid during
any of the period that he was employed
as index clerk. it could not have been to
exceed thirty days.
Mort T. Dunning, of Fort Pierre. s.
OAK, was chosen as the successor Of Nr.
Warner upon the converting of Congress
in December, 1895" continued the Con-
gresham. He was unable to Immediately
report for duty, and, in order to hold the
position, George Martin. son Of Congress
man Martin, filled the position for one
month only, at my request here in Wash
ington, and performed the duties Of the
place
The index clerk D. c. Diuger. states
that George Martin reported daily and
performed the duties as his assistant dur
ing the month of December, and has made
an affidavit to that effect. Mr. Martin
c0rrobOrates the statement of his col
league in every detail
It is asserted by persons in a position to
know that the statement that r r Wi
mans drew salary as a Senate clerk while
he was in Sioux Falls is entirely mislead-
ing. 1t is said that AIr. Winans performed
the duties of secretary TO Senator Kit
tredge for a long time during the incapa-
city of Nyrum Z. Phillips without any
compensation whatever. When Mr. Phil
lips incapaCity became permanent and
he was dropped from the Senate pay roll,
Mr. Winans was appointed to the
post temporarily, and cams 10 Washing
ton and performed the services for which
he was paid until the appointment of T

MAY OFFER PLACE TO VAN HISE
President of Wisconsin University
Mentioned for Secretaryship.

A meeting of the board of regents of
the Smithsonian Institution will be held
Thursday, and the new secretary for the
concern will be. elected.
For some time it was thought that Dr.
Osborne, of New York, would be the next
secretary of the institution, but II is doubt
full whether he will leave his work in the
metropolis TO come 10 Washington. For
this reason several ether prominent
scientists throughout the country have
been mentioned in connection with the
position. Among them are college presi-
dents from some of the larger institu-
tons. Dr. c. r. Van Hise, of the Wis
consin State University. is one of the
most eligible of the college men named.
Members of the board of regents de-
clined to discuss the matter in advance Of
the meeting Thursday.

CARDOZO CASE NEXT WEEK.
Board Cannot Meet Earlier on Ac-
count of Illness of Admiral Baird.

The next regular meeting of the board
Of education viii be held on Wednesday,
January is, when. unless a special meet
ing is called before then, the CardozO
case will be considered. It was thought
that the board would be able to consider
the CardozO matter at an earlier date,
but the illness of Admiral Baird prevents
a meeting being called.
1t is not probable that the cases of the
other dismissed teachers will come up at
the first meeting, as il is understood the
whole afternoon viii be devoted to the
hearing of Attorney Stuart Mcnamara
and the charges against Cardozo. The
charges against CardozO have been pre-
pared for some time and are at present
in the hands Of Mcnamara, who is ready
to submit them at the first meeting of

LAST CHAPTER IN
NOVEL SANTA
FE FIGHT
Being the True and Complete
Narrative of How One Small
Sheriff Nearly Tied up a
Whole Railway System.

Had not the Santa Fe railroad hun
1iedly secured q temporary injunction
from Judge r. Z. Lewis in the United
States circuit cout in Denver the
country might have been treated to
the novel spectacle of a great system
tied w because the sheriff Of one
small county had seized upon all the
engines, cars and other rolling stock
found within the county limits, ana
had Dut them ON sale to the highest
bidder.
That the railroad was very much
hurried. on the run, i'm fact. is shown
by its insistenCe on action on Lin
coins birthday, when all courts are
adjourned.
The Trinidad Advertiser thus tells
the story: The affidavit of w. X.
Freeman, tax agent for the Santa Fe'
tells the story of how one county
which has only "A thin spread of pop
ulation along the Arkansas river. not

a dozen average Santa Fe passenger

road sues john X. sullivan, treasurer
and John II. Grubcr. sheriff, because
of a tax imposition claimed 20 be too
high.
The next event is told i'm the hur-
ried petition for a temporary injunc-
ton to stop the Contiscatiou of prop
rrty or other mean for collecting the
taxes which was presented to Judg'
Lewis at Denver. The three DAYS
Of grace had passed and Bent county

is a great deal OF property worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars says
the Santa Fe. that is not paying taxes
at all. This information is volunteered
for the benefit of other counties OF
Colorado, that they might see how one
vi them is trying to get the better of
the rest by lodging its fair share OF
taxes.
Tax Agent Freeman further says
that the true value of Santa Fe prop
erty i'm Colorado is not more than
$40, 600, 600, and that on the basis OF
assessment issued BY the state board
1t should not pay more to Sent county
than $10,2O5. An even less payment
should be made if a tax on only one
quarter value be required, as he
claims is the case with the other prop-
erty in Bent county.
A bond of $4,000 was deposited as
surety for the Injunction.
The trouble dates back to 1905.
The state board of equalization of
April of hat year fixed the Santa Fo
assessment at $5,S34,52S, on this
much the railroad was TO "a taxes
in Colorado. The mileage of track was
fixed at 405 Y. OF this total there are
thirty-seveu miles in Bent county.
Taxes We're to be paid, according to
Freeman's affidavit. on the basis of
$14,S00 per mile. which would make
in Bent county. an assessed Santa Fe
valuation of $546, 416.
The then assessor of Bent county.
anxious to raise funds and do his
duty. started in to make valuations
and assessments on his own account.
without regard to what the state
board of equalization had done. He
was energetic in his discoveries of
new forms of Santa Fe wealth. He
found, according to 4 table included
in Mr.. Frccman'S affidavit, a rather
remarkable assortment or Santa Ft
possessions. Besides tracks. lncomo-
tiVes, cars. te%legraphs and the usual
accessories. the railroad owned bank
stock worth $4,000 i'm a local bank,
cattle worth $40, 600: sheep. $4,000.
horses. $4,000; farm and grazing
lang, $%540.000; city lots, $3.50. 600.
Other sundries. including even must
cal instruments. brought the total
said to be owned to $1,525,2f3. on
this basis the assessor proceeded 60
levy his taxes. The amount was turn
ed in to the state auditor. Taxes
were charged o only on the Sl4.S00
ner mile Of track basis. but separately
on the other items that looked very
much as if they We're not parts Of a
railroad business.
The railroad registered a lively kick
to the state board of equalization.
There were several hearings, but the
outcome was a dismissal. Then Treas
urer Smith notified the railroad that
its debt to the county for taxes was
S24.165. The sum was not paid and
thereafter came the threat that un-
less paid before February ., 1907. the
sheriff John II. Grubcr. would seize
en"ines. cars. everything ON wheels.
and sell the stuff at auction. February
