drews and went to the polls for that
purpose, but upon his arrival there
was informed that mis- name had
been voted, and voted right" too.
He did not object to the casting of
a Republican ticket, as he intended
to vote that way, but he did object
to having some sheep her1er do the
voting for him.
1t is now believed that a complete
case will be made, showing extensive
frauds in at least three counties, a1d
possibly five.
1t is understood that the Republi-
cans will base their hopes on coun-
ter charges of frauds through the
putting of "stickers' on the Republi-
can tickets in a number of counties
before they were sent out to the diff
feren precincts. 1t is presumed that
this charge has its foundation in the
fact that in five counties there were
fusion tickets, which, under the pres
ent law, could not carry the name
of the Democratic candidate, and
that the ballots were found in the
boxes with Larrazolo "pasters" on

Washington, Feb. 13.-Tne exclu-
sion of foreigners who use their
passports to go to other countries to
secure admission to the United States
to the detriment of labor conditions
in this country is provided for by an
amendment to the immigration bill
agreed upon by conference of the
house and senate committees today
and reported to congress. The amend
ment is the result of a demand from
the Pacific Coast states for the ex-
clusion of Japanese coolies, and it
is understood that it will aid in Sc
curing an understanding between the
administration and the San Francis
co delegation now in Washington
comforting with the President.
The conference between Mayor
Schmitz and his associates from San
Francisco on the Japanese school
question will be held at four O'Clock
instead Of PAS as announced. Today
the President had a conference with
Secretary Root, presumably on this
subject, and also with Commissioner
Sargent, OF the immigration Bureau,
who recently made thorough inves-
tigation of Japanese immigration into
Hawaii

plies of timber are today being ship
ped from the West to the markets of
the Mississippi Valley and even to
foreign countries
1T may be claimed fairly among
the advantages of the leasing system,
that:
cd 1t will facilitate the working
of coal deposits for local markets by
miners without large capital.
''(2) 1t will facilitate larger oper-
ations
"(3) 1t will prevent waste in the
extraction and handling of these fu-
els.
"4) The system can be operated
N such manner as to prevent the
evils of monopolistic control
"(5) 1t will permit the government
20 reserve from general use a fuel
supply suitable for special industries.
"(6) 1t will enable the govern
nent to protect the public against
unreasonable and discriminating
:harges for fuel supplies"
The President urges care in the
disposal of these mineral land inter-
ests, foreseeing a time when the so
called inexhaustible resources will
be taxed to more tnan their capacity
in supplying the demand. He trusts
that congress may prevent the coal
lands of the West from getting into
control of the corporations, as have
the eastern anthracite fields.
Government control of western pas
ture lands is urged upon the same
general principles now applying to
the government control of forest re-
serves. Only enough revenue from
the range to pay for its administra-
ton and improvement would be suf
ficient, the message urges. More land
agents are urgently recommended.
Here is an Example.
Lander, Wyoming, Feb. 13.-The
Hudson Coal Company having gotten
control of every producing mine in
the center of the state. These mines
are along the new line of the Chica-
go and Northwestern R. R., and in

have all been leased by the Hudson

TRIAL DELAYED BY SICK
NESS OF JURORS WIFE

New York, Feb. 13.-The opening
Of the Thaw trial was delayed today
owing to the illness of the wife of
a juror, Joseph Bolton, who asked
permission to visit his home in the
company of two court officers. Boil
ton was taken home. His wife is
threatened with pneumonia.
After the announcement of the ILL
ness of the wife of Bolton, Attorneys
Jerome and Delmas were called into
conference with Justice Fitzgerald,
and a few minutes later announced
that a recess would be taken in the
case until two o'clock this afternoon.
Thaw remained in the prisoners
pen this morning, where he had a
long chat with his wife. Counsel for
the defense said this morning that
it was the intention of the defense
to have DIR. Evans take the stand
this afternoon for cross-examination.
He will be followed by Mrs .Thaw,
tion'' of the prisoners insanity laid
by the experts will be asked to con
clude ner story. Jerome had object
ed to her doing so on the ground
that what she had to say was per
missible only after the defendant was
shown by competent testimony to
have been of unsound mind
A continuance of the trial was
agreed upon after DeImas informed
the court that he would require only
direct examination of DIR. Evans. This
was done so that in the event of an
adjournment for a day or two the
case may be re-opened with Mrs. Ev-
elyn Nesbit Thaw on the stand.

REPORT OF TERRITORIAL
AUDITOR TO GOVERNOR.

To the Honorable Herbert ]. Hager-
man, Governor of the Territory of
New Mexico:
Dear Sir:-Complying with your
request of recent date. l have the hon.
or to transmit, through you. to tine Leg
islative Assembly, my report of the
Official transactions of this office, for
the biennial term ending November
goth, 1906.
1t is very gratifying to state that
the financial condition of the Terri
tory is in fine condition, all bills
against the Territory authorized by
law, are promptly paid.
Taxation.
The problem of the best method to
be employed in attempting to get all
of the taxable property on the assess
melt rolls is still ulsolved, and will
always remain so until the taxation
system now in vogue in the Territory
Is more strictly enforced 1t is re-
spectfully suggested that frequent and
radical changes in the system of the
assessment and collection of taxes,
is against public policy. When a sys-
tenn that is generally understood by
the public, which in its operation,
serves to equitably distribute the tax
burden, and at the same time produc-
es sufficient revenue to meet the de-
mands. it should not be hastily dis
carded
II the burden of taxation under the
present system is not equal. it is
not, in my opinion so much the fault
of the law as it is the fault of those
charged with its execution. if those
charged with the assessment of pro-
perty were as careful in listing it as
the law requires them to be. there
would be less property escape taxa
ton than does.
Express Companies.
I desire to call your attention to
the fact that in prior years 1t has been
an impossibility to derive any revenue
from tine various express companies
operating in this territory. During
the year 1906. with the active assis-
tance OF Attorney General Reid,
was able 10 collect from the Wells
Fargo Express Compalq. the sum Of
$497.s0. from the Globe Express Com

Washington, Feb. 13.-Presidelt
Roosevelt today sent to congress a
message calling attention to what
he terms the urgent need of legis-
lation Affecting different phases of
the public land situation in the Uni
ted States" He advocates conserva-
tion of the coal and other fuel re-
sources on government lands; urges
government control of western pub
lie land pastures with a system of
small grazing fees, and asks for the
appropriation of half a million dol
lars to aid in detecting and prevent
ing land frauds. He contends for a
system of the government leasing
its mineral lands and for treating
these fuel lands as public utilities.
The President points out that it
would be better if some of the east
ern coal lands had been left under
government control, and suggests
provision il the West against recur-
renee of the conditions which we de-
plore in the East
Citing 2.3OO cases of public land
entries in four districts mentioned,
the President says that non-compli-
ance with the law was found in over
half and fraud il many others.
The President asks for Legislation
which will provide two distinct IT.
ties to public lands, one for the sur
face, and another for underlying min
erals. These mineral lands the Pres
ident would dispose of by lease. The
details of the plan he leaves for con-
gress to work out, only arguing for
the adoption of some plan.
Instances of the successful leasing
of such lands by foreign govern
ments are cited by the President, and
ne argues at length for the separate
development of farming and mining
on American land. Foreign practice
is also cited as a reason why min
eral fuels, like forests and navigable
streams, should be treated as public
utilities. In this way only can the
rights of future generations adequate
ly be protected.
The quantity of high grade mineral
fuel in the West is relatively smaller
than the forests, and its preservation
should be subject to the wisest legis-
latiol. Ultimately these rich lands
will pass out of Federal control a1d
future generations will be deprived
of their birthright unless a leasing
System is adoDted
Answering the charge that reser-
vation of the natural forests raises
the price of lumber in the West, he
says: 1T should be remembered that
the best and most accessible bodies
of timber in the West passed into
private hondings before the forest
reserves were established: that
while the price of lumber has ad-
vanced in the West, it has advanced
still more IN the East. where there
are no forest reserves; and that sup

Hartford, Coma, Feb. 13-That
William F. Walker, the missing trea-
surer of the Savings Bank of New
Britain who is alleged to be respon-
sibIe for $350,O0O shortage at that
institution, made big inroads into
the $4,000 fund of the Connecticut
Baptist Convention, of which he was
treasurer, was positively made known
today as the result of the special aud
it of accounts of the institution. Pres
ident Thompson, of the Society to
day said that railroad bonds worth
81 900 in walkers hands were miss
ing. He was unable at present to
state whether or not the larger part
of the church fund in his hands had
been lost.

This acceptance is especially int

company was thought to have been
the one that would refuse to arbitrate.
1t has turned out to be the first to

Judging from expressions which in
dicate the position of the North

go forward without further trouble.
