CHARGES OF
ALLEGED CORRUPTION
BY Territorial Officials Made by r. H,
Hanna Under investigation by
Governor Curry.

The New Mexican learns on what is
believed to be reliable authority, that
this afternoon Governor George Curry
made an investigation into certain al
legations and charges to the effect
that the administration of official af-
fairs in New Mexico, executive and ju-
dicial, We're corrupt and dishonest. AS
far as the New Mexican can ascertain
these charges were made by one R. II.
Hanna, an attorney of this city, and
are contained in a letter written some
weeks since by Hanna and addressed
to the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, of Hi
nois, speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives of the Fifty-ninth Congress.
This letter, 1t seems. was transmitted
by Mr. Cannon to President Roosevelt
who has referred it to Governor Curry
for his action and information. 1t Is
reported that Governor Curry intends
to go to the root of the report In the
communication and has called upon
Hanna to substantiate his charges by
giving facts, dates and names of Fed
eral, Territorial and court officials
who are referred to by innuendo,
insinuation or generalization in
his communication to Speaker Can
non. AS the New Mexican goes to
press the result of the Governors in
vestigaton this afternoon has not
been disclosed, but that it took place
is believed.
Governor Curry's action in the case
will meet with the approval of all fair
minded and patriotic citizens. The
only way to put stop to the befoul-
ing of the good name of the people Of
the Territory by false statements, by
untruthful charges and by newspaper
libels is to follow them to their
source and compel the person or
newspapers making them to furnish
evidence to substantiate and prove
them. and if they cannot do so to see
that they are punished properly and
that the public is made acquainted
with the circumstances in the cases,
so that no harm to the commonwealth
or injury to officials and citizens gen.
orally be done by them. Publicity is
best for all concerned in such mat
ters.
1t is also said that two or three 9th
er people, one of them not citizen of
Santa Fe but connected with corpor-
alton here, have written similar let
ters to Hon. Joseph G. Cannon and in
which the administrative and judicial
officers of New Mexico are "1ambast-
ed in great shape.

about a week ago. from the effects Of

HOW MUSIC is WRITTEN.
Composers Cannot Tell just How
They DO X.

A st. Louis composer, whose operas
have achieved popularity all over the
United States, was recently asked how
he composed music.
Il don't know" be said, sometimes
a melody is suggested to me by the
words Of a poem, sometimes By q
sound like the rumble OF a street car,
or the rattle Of the wheels OF rail
road train, and sometimes it comes as
an inspiration without any origin that
can be traced. People occasionally
have the idea that, after melody is
written, the composer must sit down
at the piano and hammer out har-
mony, but, as a fact, no musician ever
hears a melody without at the same
time heading in his own mind all the
harmonies that are appropriate to It."
A St. Louis orchestra leader, who is
also a composer, says that he never
tries to write music until he feels the
inspiration.
Sometimes days will pass without
writing a line. simply because teal
no inclination to write. Then, ali Of
a sudden, without any notice, melodies
come crowding into my mind so fast
that I have have not time to write
them down. If have q sheet Of music

that night, so laid my cuff aside and
my wife, not noticing the melody

the one that gets away, and on the
same principle I feel pretty sure that

that McCain acted as attorney for the

Mccain paid the money In and it

as the bond Manuel had given as
guardian was too small to cover the

August and kept telling Manuel from
day to day that the bond had never

it was approved by the court on Aug,

With Japanese.
SOME OLD GRUDGE DATING TO
STAY AT JAMESTOWN, WITH so
MUCH OF "BLOOD ON THE

WILL NOT BE GRANTED WHEN
THE JAPANESE ARRIVE.
BY Associated Press,


Brest, July 23.-The Japanese squad
ron is expected to reach this port to-
night.
This delay in arriving is generally
attributed here to the desire of the
Japanese commander to make as short
as possible the time that the Amer
can and Japanese warships will be 10
gether in the harbOr in order to re-
duce the chances of any untoward in
cident between the Sailormen.
The sailors from the American
cruisers Washington and Tennessee
now here, seem to hold grudge
against the japanese on account OF a
fancied grievance at jamestown, and
there has been some threatening talk
in the cafes frequented by the Amerl-
can blue Jackets. Rear Admiral
Charles E. Stockton, in command OF
the American vessels. has decided to
grant no shore leave after the Japan
csc arrive.
The American officers are preparing
to treat the japanese visitors with
great cordially. They will be shown
every courtesy and entertained al
