NO QUESTION OF FACT
CONTAINED IN THE CASE

There is no question of fact con-
tanned in the case 1t is admitted
with engaging fIankness in the Holt
complaint that he holds the money IN
question, that it came to him as treas
urer of the funds of the college. as
interest on such college funds and that
he proposes to keep it if he can The
case is to be argued in briefs upon
the points of law involved, as to
prohibits Holt from holding these
funds as his own. Mr. Holt is rep
resented by Hawkins & Franklin, of
El Paso, Tex, and the board of re-
gents by the attorney general. who, II
is understood has already filed his
brief with Judge Parker. 1t Is not
known whether the brief of the attor-
neys for Mr.. Holt has yet been filed.
The complaint in the case filed by
attorneys for Holt Is an interesting
statement Of the case, setting forth as
II does the grounds upon which he sets
up his right to retain the interest on
the college funds. To this COM
plant the counse! for the board OF
regents has filed a demurrer on the
ground that Il does not state cause
of action. on this demurrer Judge
Parker has not yet given his ruling
The complaint sets forth that in
June, 1902. Holt was appointed a
member of the board of regents Of
the Agricultural college. He was
shortly afteTward elected secretary
and treasurer of the board and en-
trusted with the custody of the funds
of the institution executing a bond for
the safe keeping of such funds. The
complaint goes on to recite that Holt
proceeded to deposit the college funds
in the institution known as Bowman's
bank in Las Cruces, where interest
was paid on daily balances. such in
terest being paid to Holt personally
and which he retained as his own. The
complaint then sets forth that the in
terest paid him by Bowmau's bank
amounted TO S2,432.25, and that inter-

est paid to him by the First National
bank OF Las Cruces. To which bank the
funds We're transferred shortly before
Hollis remoVa! from the board of re-
gents, amounts to $3.50. making a
total of S2.469.75 WHICH Holt has re-
ceived as interest on the college
money which he now holds in his pos
sesskn and which. according to tho
complaint he proposes TO keep. unless
a law be found TO compel him 10 re-
turn 4.
The grounds upon which he asks
that the court give him Judgment al
lowing him To keep these funds are
interesting. They are, briefly, that
first. former treasurers had kept the
interest on the college funds; second,
that he was responsible for the col-
lege money and that there was no pro-
vision made Tor the disposition of the
interest on those funds and third. that
there is no law which can compel him
TO return the moneys; that there is
no law prohibiting him from taking
the interest on the college funds.
The question of fact. therefore. does
not enter into the case at all and the
argument will be entirely on the
points of law involved. Mr. Holt asks
that the court give decision sustain
ing his right to keep the money and
preventing the board of regents from
suing for its recovery. The case is,
to say the least of it, an unusual one.
During the Years since 1909 that MIR.
Holt has been treasurer of this board
he has beeen receiving an average
Of a-little more than S3T a month in
terest on the funds of an institution
which has always been i'm need of
money, which he has been retaining
as part of his private revenue
The position has, therefore. beeen
one of the most profitable territorial
board memberships in the territory,
all of the other board
members of the several institutions
being confined to mileage and an av-
erage of about SO a day while actually
engaged in attending meetings. Under
Mr.. HultS thrifty management and by
his effort in safely keeping the funds
of the college in solvent banking
institution and drawing checks
thereon at the ordeEeof the board of
regents he has managed to derive Il
revenue in aboutI five years of So
469.I5, sum which would pay two
years salary of a competent instructor
at the college. Mr.. Huts frank ac-
acknowledgement in his complaint that
he has the money and is going to
keen II unless Law can he found
to make him return it, would indicate
that he appreciates the advantages of
public office and throws some inter
estng light upon the motives prompt
ing him to make his present strong
fight in the legislature To- legisatc
himself back into the office of dis
trict attorney in Dona Ana county, a
position which he now holds, but
which it is quite generally asknowl-
Il l,, ..1,g
Ing by executive appointment.
If Mr.. HOlts claim is sustained
by the courts and he is allowed to re-
tain this interest on the college funds,
the positions as treasurer on the sew
eral boards of regents of the various
territorial institutions are likely to be
eagerly sought by that band of men
who have long had much to do with
the management of political affairs in
New Mexico ana who consider public
office as a private snap.
