DOUKHOBORS CAUSING
CONSIDERABLE TROUBLE.

blesome have the Doukhobors become
that mounted police had to be requis-
toned to keep them in order. They
have refused to pay taxes and attack
ed the head collector and his staE
when they called for the taxes. They
contend that they are not subject to
taxes as they are living in communal
colonies. The Dunkhobors who un-
til a few years ago were a source
of annoyance because some of them
insisted on going naked, have be-
come famous farmers s1i are grow

ancient customs. Prosecutions are
NOW pending against 80 of them for
an attack on the tax collector and a
bill will be introduced into parliament
to dispossess them OF their lands un-
less they consent to become citi-

Its own District Attorney, In
troduCed by Lone Democrat

OFF AGAIN, ON AGAIN AND
GONE AGAIN CAPT. RUPPE
Active Legislature and Very Read
able Account of Same by
Citizen Correspondent.

Santa Fe, N. M, Feb. 2S.-No bill
in the present legislative assembly
has created quite so much discussion
as council bill No. 6S, introduced by
Mr.. Cameron, democratic member Of
the council, at the session yesterday
afternoon. This is a new district at
torney bill, which provides for the
election of district attorneys in each
county in the territory, commencing
at the next general election in 1908.
To be a district attorney under the
provisions of this bill. one must be
licensed attorney, must have resided
in the territory two years prior to
the election and must be over 81
years of age. The duties prescribed
for the district attorney in this bill
would fill column and half. AT
all events, under the provisions OF
this bill, the district attorney would
earn his money. The salary to be
paid is as follows: Counties in class
shall pay $1,000 per annum, with
an additional $500 per annum from
the territory; counties in class B shall
pay $500 per annum, with an addi-
tional $500 from the territory; coun-
ties of class c shall pay 500 per an
mum, with an additional $500 from
the territory, and all other counties
shall pay $500 per annum, with an
additional $3.50 from the territory.
The bill was referred to the commit
tee on territorial affairs. The prob
abilities are that 1t will never get any
further than the council.
Mr.. Murray introduced council bill
No. 81, by request. This bill pro-
vides for the creation of the Office of
territorial geologist and for a geologi-
cal survey for New Mexico, and for
other purposes. The bill was re-
ferred to the committee on railroads,
/ employees, labor and commerce. The
bill carries a salary for the territor-
ial geologist of $1,500 per annum and
provides that the sum of $4,000 shall
be appropriated for this office, out of
which shall come the salary, travelling
expenses, etc. 1t shall be his duty to
conduct mineral surveys and re-
| searches. The bill is of particular
interest to mining fraternities.

SECOND MEETING
OF HISTORICAL
SOCIETY
Professor ESpinOsa Claims
Language of New Mexico
Is Pure CdStilidn.

The most interesting feature of the
second meeting of the New Mexico
Historical society, held in the hall of
the house of representatives., on Tues
day evening, was an address by Pro-
fessor Espinosa, OF the University OF
New Mexico, on The Spanish Lam
guage of New Mexico and Southern
Colorado" In his valuable paper on
this subject. Prof Espinosa traced the
language of the section referred to in
his address, from its origin in the
sixteenth century through its many
changes to the present time. His de-
duction was that the present Ian
guage spoken by the natives of this
region is practically the pure Castil-
liam. In the course of his talk the
speaker illustrated his points with
many interesting facts and comparl-
sons.
Prof. w. f. Garrison of the Santa
Fe high school gave a most realistic
description of the ruins and petro-
graphs of the deserted San Cristobal
pueblo, west of GaNsteo. The lecture
was to have been illustrated with
stereoptican views, but owing to a
defect in the plates this portion OF
the entertainment lad to be omitted.
The meeting was presided over by
ex-Gov. Bradford h. Prince, president
of the society, whJ gave another Of
his interesting talEs on the work Of
the society, during which he entered
an earnest plea Z IT the legislature

Archives, which were taken from the

SOME VIEWS GATHERED
BY NEARBY INSPECTION

Santa Fe, Feb. 2S.-The hard
work being done by the committees
of the house and council of the legis-
lature was shown yesterday when an
avalanche of bills was reported in
both branches of the assembly, and
considered. In the house during the
afternoon session the judiciary COM
mittee, of which Mr.. Holt is the hard
working chairman, reported on seven
bills. all of which had been carefully
considered, and the house took action
accordingly. The bills were:
Substitute for house bill No. 1Ol,
an act relative to the recording of
chattel mortgages; house bill 96, rela-
tive to the duties of sheriffs and
which provides that If after the ex-
piration of a term of Office of one
sheriff there are any executions or
processes to be served. the succeeding
official shall serve them. These bills,
which were reported favorably, pass
ed the house.
House bill No. 81. an act relative
to observance of the Sunday law, re-
ported unfavorably, was tabled by the
house, on motion of Ruppe.
that suits against county officers shall
be brought in the county in which the
officers hold office, was reported un-
favorably and was tabled indefinitely
by the house.
House bill No. so. an act relative to
the issuance of marriage licenses by
justices of the peace, was reported
unfavorably and tabled indefinitely.
Council bill No. IS, an act relative
to the issuance of marriage licenses
by justices Of the peace, was reported
unfavorably an dtabled Indefinitely.
Council bill No. 16, an act relative
to special levies by county commits
sioners for feeding Jail prisoners. was
reported favorably by the committee,
but tabled indefinitely.
This is a sample of the work being
done by these committees. the mem
bers working night and day.
The committee on education is now
getting down to work on the educa-
tional bill, which, to say the least, is
attracting considerable attention and
not little opposition to certain Sec
tions. Mr.. Abbott, of Santa Fe, is
chairman of this committee. 1t will
pIODdDly De necessary 10 CONSIDER this
bill by sections, which will take sew
eral days Of hard work. However,
a careful consideration OF the meas
ure may result in the elimination OF
the Objectionable features in COM
mittee and save a lot Of hard work
for the assembly as a whole.
The judiciary committee is holding
night sessions, the finance commit
tee filling in the interim. Mr. Holt
IS chairman Of these committees, and
just when he finds time to sleep is a
matter of some question. However,
he bears up under the work and his
hand is noticeable in every report
made to the house, and 1t is a matter

CLUB WOMEN TO
VISIT CITY FATHERS

When the city fathers meet on
Monday night. they will be confront
ed by a committee from the Albu-
querque Womans club, with petit
ton asking for an ordinance prohib-
iting children from playing with guns.
The matter came up at the last meet
ing of the club and Mrs. T.. G.. Wilson
was selected to appoint a committee
to take charge of the movement. The
subject will be discussed again tomor-
row when,it is thought, definite plans
will be decided upon. The Woman's S
club women see the necessity Of pro-
lection from the small boy with a gun.
and hope to get from the city coun-
ell the desired ordinance.

Spends Day inTifesOme Cross
Examination Of DR..
Evans. Making
NO APPRECIABlE ADVANCE
FOR PROSECUTIONS CASE
Not Possible For the Trial to Close
This Week as Delmas De-
sired 1t Should.

New York, Feb. 2s-when the
Thaw trial was resumed today DR..
Evans was recalled and the cross
examination continued by Jerome.
When court adjourned last evening
Evans was given copies of letters,
which are in evidence, as we'll as
the will and the codcll, that he
might be prepared for a cross exam
ination on the theory that the docu-
ments contain evidence of unsound
mind. Jerome spent twenty minutes
in an endeavor to have Evans say he
had read the documents carefully"
He would only say that he had done
the best he could. and Jerome told
him to read them again.
Can't End This Week.
District Attorney Jerome continued
his examination of DIR. Evans, one of
the alienists for the defense In the
trial of Harry X. Thaw. The entire
morning was taken up with questions
concerning the details of certain
| Thaw letters, which had been admit
ted in evidence, in which DIR. Evans
said there is evidence that Thaw was
insane at the time of the writing. The
lons drawn out cross examination of
Evans precludes the possibility of the
defense concluding its case this week.
1t is said that the Evans cross exam
nation will occupy all of tomorrow's
sessions.
Temporary Alteration OF Mind.
DR.. Evans said that some of the
letters showed mental instability. bu'
not insanity in the sense that HI
would remain permanently insane
Some of the letters were from Thav
to Evelyn, one of these the doctor
said showed a lack Of sense of thu
lproprieties, and various other thing
which he believed showed an un
sound mind.
Brother Howarsi's Standing.
1t begins to be doubtful IL Jerom
will introduce Howard Nesbit as
witness. The attitude of the younl
: man toward the trial has i'm common
opinion, already strengthened tn

1t was said by the counsel for the

The Interstate Commerce commits
sion today concluded Its New York

cision yet as to appointing the courts
to compel Hartman and Kahn to an

clined by them; but this question will
be considered by the commission af-
ter its return to Washington.
The closing hours of the hearing

ler Malh that financial statements
were not sent to Southern Pacific
stockholders for several months be-
fore the directors meeting of July

rimans testimony. The suggestion
came from Commissioner Harlan that
