RAILWAY PRESIDENT HAS
FEAR OF DEPRESSED TIMES

New York, Feb. 25.-President
William Truesdale of the Delaware,
Lackawana & Western in a published
interview today is quoted as saying
that a campaign of agitation against
the railways, having its origin in high
executive authority, is being waged
throughout the country. At the same
time there is a spirit of unrest and
distrust regarding the general finan-
cial conditions and a continuation Of
our great prosperity.
He says we are living in a time of
as great imitation as during greenback
days following the Civil war. The
prices of labor and commodities can
not go forever increasing without a
day of readjustment. He believes
there is some justification for public
hostility against railroads, but the
conditions complained of are not so
bad or so universal as is claimed. The
tendency to go to extremes will so
check and impede the operation OF
railroads as to affect general business.
Then all will suffer together.

How That Many COlOred Garment Is
ExCelled by the Coat of Many
COIOrS Worn by the
ALWAYS CHANGING MORNING PAPER OF THIS CITY
On Every Side of Any Question Where Revenue Could be
Found and Only as Long as Rev
enue Could Be Had.

The coat worn by the original Jo-
seph was of many colors, perhaps.
but II was a tame affair beside the
one worn by his modern imitator. To
add to the luster of his garment. Dam
ny has been a reformer and a CRATER
by turns, until it is impossible for him
to tell exactly where he is.
He is now posing as a reformer,
and is the reform county printer of
Bernalillo county. His reform must
consist in keeping all of the graft for
his own little self, as 1t has not been
SO very many years since the Demo-
crat Publishing, company, Danny
Macpherson, president, was standing
in on a deal whereby the county was
overcharged and the amounts so Sc
cured divided between that company
and the other fellow to the deal.
He no wants the people to stand
firm in support of the minority in the
legislature, in a fight of absolutely no
interest to the people of Albuquerque.
He shouts principle" but he forgets
to call attention to the fact that the
Journal did not decide this course un-
til its representative went to Santa Fe,
just before the publication of the PEN
itentiary report, and made the proper
arrangements. He does not mention
the fact that the new appointees
might be expected to throw all their
printing to the Journal. particularly
If the office of public printer should
be abolished so that the legislature
could not fill 1t by naming some man
with his own printing office.
Reform is a word with a ring to It,
but all those shouting Mare not re-
formers. Now Danny wants to re-
form, but only In his way--that way
is in the interest of his corporations
and his personal interests. He was
against the Hubbels until he thought
the Hubbells could assist him In un-
loading the water works upon the
people, and then he was with the
Hubbells He is the same way now.
He wants the people of Albuquerque
to get into fight over nothing, while
he gathers for his printing corpora
ton certain credit and certain work
to be given out by the men his friends
will name for office, provided the peo-
pie of Albuquerque help him out. The
fact that the people of Albuquerque
may loose dyke and other public ap-

Evidence From Her Mothers
q AffiddvitS Which Jerome
Claims to Have.
CONFRONTED BY DR.. FLINT
WHOM NEVER SAW BEFORE
On Trip to Europe Whites Money
Was Used Only For Her
Mother Says Witness.

New York, Feb. 25.--Mrs. Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw was called to the stand
at the opening session of her hus-
bands murder trial, and without any
preliminary statement Jerome plung-
ed into the cross-examination.
Mrs. Thaw looked refreshed after
her three days of respite and answer
ed the first questions confidently.
Jerome, as upon previous days In
his cross-examination, continued to
jump from point to point in the wit
ness story.
Jerome continued to hold the mem
ace of documentary evidence before
the witness in the form of affidavits
from her mother. The witness said
she had often been to supper with
George W. Lederer and Jack Barry
more She was confronted in court
by DR.. Carlton Flint, but denied
positively that she had ever seen him
before, or that she had gone to him
with Jack, Barrymore.
Rules Out Jerome's Question.
Justice Fitzgerald ruled out the
question made by Jerome when he
asked Mrs Thaw il Stanford White
had not urged her to have Jack Bar
rymore arrested upon the charge of
seduction. In telling of her trip to
Europe, Evelyn said that she used
some of Whites letter of credit. but
only for her mother Mrs. Nesbit
got it all. Thaw said the money was
poison"

History does repeat itself, and
sometimes the repetition produces a
very poor imitation, but nevertheless
the resemblance can always be traced.
New Mexico, in Danny Mcpherson,
has produced a sort of a modern tin
horn Joseph, and the Morning Jour
nal serves very we'll for the coat of
many colors. 1t has backed and
hauled, Topped and re-fiopped, and
sold and re-sold until all track of it's
winding course has been lost, but as
each change has added a patch of a
different color to its raiment, even the
casual eye can see the rainbow effect.
1t was once democratic. under the
same ownership, and its flop to the
republican party was based upon
most flimsy grounds. No matter what
1t wanted to divide the county print
ing, and came over to get it.
The Journal, published by the
Democrat Printing Company, Danny
Mcpherson, president, was not a re-
former until it found some sentiment
in Albuquerque against the Hubbels
in the county division matter, and as
soon as Danny discovered the
Ol tIilS Ilc SIid1i5cN
the policy of the Journal by kicking
out the office cat. or discharging
the office boy. Danny then had alb
solved himself from the wickedness
of the past and became a full-fiegded
reformer of the whitening variety.
He continued to be a reformer, and
against the wicked Hubbells, until he
thought he saw an opportunity to un-
|ioad one of his corporations upon the
city, at an excessive value. Then Dan
my put another brilliantly colored
patch upon the Journal garment, and
he supported the Hubbells.
But as every one is aware The Citi-
zen put a crimp on this scheme and
he lost.
Meanwhile the Journal supported
Rodey for congress, but the machine
bunch took Danny to Santa Fe three
days before the convention, and the
Journal threw Rodey down for An
drews just three days before the con-
vention met. This added another
brilliant patch to the coat, but still
another was to come and the Journal
| went back on Andrews before elec-
ton and did not support him.

SUPREME COURT DECIDES
FOR STATE RAILWAY LAWS
Railroads P-odICt Financial Crash
IS Coming Because Of Railway
IAgltatlon by People.

New York, Feb. 25.-The investiga-
ton of the financial operations of the
Hartman group, through the Union
Pacific railroad, undertaken by the In
terstate Commerce commission, in be-
half of the United States government,
was resumed at the federal building
today. e. H. Hartman, president of
the Union Pacific, was the first wit
ness and under the examination of
Frank Kellogg began an explanation
of the financial operations of his COM
pany, commencing with the issue of
500, 100000 of convertible bonds in
1901 for the purchase of stock in
the Southern and Northern Pacific.
To Improve Income.
Hartman denied that he and his
associates had been speculating in Sc
curities. Their purchases were REIN
vestment of proceeds of their sales of
Northern Pacific. They were not
made for the purpose of securing con-
troll of the roads in question but to
improve income.
Ignorant of G. & A.
Milburn, of Hartman counsel, in
terrupted Kellogg in his effort to OBJ
tain from Hartman the names of the
individuals who sold Chicago & Alton
stock to the Union Pacific. Milburn
claimed that such questions are not
within the scope of the Interstate
Commerce commission. 1T was an
nounced that the commission would
confer on the question of its powers
and decide this afternoon.
In the meantime the examination OF
Hartman as to the Chicago & Alton
proceeded. Hartman denied either
knowledge or participation in the sale
of $10,000,000 of bonds of the Alton
at SO cents to the New York Life In
surance company.

ARCTIC WHALING SOON
TO BE ABANDONED

Dundee. Scotland, Feb. 25.-Owing
to the failure of the whaling industry
in the Arctic the Dundee Whaling Co.,
the largest of its kind in the world.
at its annual meeting today decided
to abandon the work and wind up the
company. Whaling i'm the Arctic is
now practically lost calling. In 1915
there were 164 British vessels en-
gagged in the industry and a bounty
was allowed on all oil and whalebone
brought into a British port. Then
years ago four hundred whales would
be considered a fair take for the sea-
son but last year the combined fleet
only took seven. The price of whale
bone in London at present is S12,500
a ton.

propriations does not worry him. He
has too many patches of varied hues
on his coat now to mind another one
or two, and every time he adds n
patch, he also adds to the revenues
of his corporations.
The ancient Joseph was a man of
much wisdom, and gave 1t freely unto
the people, but while he was talking
with his mouth he did not overlook
the opportunity to corner the grain
market. His modern imitator in AL
buquerque is willing to attract atten-
ton by wearing a many colored coat,
and he will offer much advice through
his mouthpiece. Meanwhile he will
not overlook the main chance, and IL
the people are foolish enough to listen
to him he will corner all those good
things he has selected as his reward
for this particular fit of reform, in
which he Is now working.
But there is the Journal, his coat
of many colors. There are .he re-
publican and the democratic patches.
the Hubbells and the anti-Hubbell
patches; the Andrews and the anti
Andrews patches; the Rodey and the
anti-Rodey patches; the patches put

robbing of the county on the printing,
and the patch put there by several
recent little deals, but inside all, the
profits go into the one exchequer.
Each change of interest has brought
a change of policy and its accom-
panying patch, and each change has
been accomplished by kicking out the
poor office cat, or by the discharge of
some unfortunate office boy, but all
the time the actual management has
remained the same-in Danny. And
all the time Danny never overlooks
the main chance, even while he fools
around in the shadow of a great big
patch which threatens to make the
color of his coat so black that char
coal will make a white mark on 1t.
Whenever the cause he now es-
pouses so vociferously, ceases to offer
bountiful harvests and rewards for
Danny and the corporate interests he
represents, no doubt he will again
change the policy of the Journal, thus
adding one more patch to his coat of
many colors.

It WAS A TERRIFYING
SCARE FOR THE RAIL-
ROAD LOBBY
BUT THE HOUSE AT WASHING
TON FINALLY GAVE THEM
THAT LITTLE $8,0OO,OO0 "VEL-
VETs' ON MAIL CONTRACTS.

Washington, Feb. 25.-"Corrective
legislation" that succeeded after
much toll and some very painful mo-
ments, has passed the house. Here
is the story of strike that almost
failed:
After two months OF supposedly
solemn consideration the house COM
mittee on postoffices and post roads
decided about the 12th of February
to report the annual appropriation
budget for this branch of the gov
ernments business. Also it was de-
cided that the bill should carry cer-
tain constructive legislation" One
clause provided for cutting the rail-
way mail pay according to the MUIR
dock PLAN" and several other para
graphs provided for other methods of
reduction. The total amount of the
cut would set the railroads back
about $9,00O,0O0 annually.
In conformity with this solemnly
reached decision, the committee met
and voted to report the bill.
The railroads were apparently
taken by surprise. Just why
whether 1t was carelessness in count
ing noses, or whether somebody did
not stay bought-their lobbyists will
have to explain when they are called
in on the carpet. The point is they
were taken by surprise, and began
at ounce to get busy.
They swooped down upon Wash
ington like a swarm of locusts. They
were particularly in evidence about
the Willard hotel. So was Mr.. Jesse
Overstreet. of the house committee
on postoffice and post roads.
And what do you suppose happen
ed? Let us have 1t in words of one
syllable. Jesse changed his mind.
Why did Jesse change his mind?
Well, anyway. he called for a re-
consideration OF the vote by which
this naughty bill had been reported
to the house of representatives
And, 1t seems. the railroad gentle
men had talked to other members of
this committee. for they thought
they had more than half of the COM
mittee with changed minds.
But they missed their count on a
Norwegian gentleman named Steen-
erson. Mr.. Overstreet and the rail-
way lobby gentlemen counted Steen-
erson against the bill. They did this
because Steenerson had said often
that he was against the "Murdock
| plan" But that did not mean that
! Steenerson was in favor of the rail-
roads taking graft from the United
| States under the cover of certain
| mail contracts.
So. when Jesse Overstreet came to
| caIl the roll 1t was found that the
vote was eight to eight. instead OF
nine to seven. So the committee
was not able to change its mind, as
| Overstreet had done. and the bill had
to go to the house of representatives
| just as 1t had been planned at the
| end OF those two months consider.
alton, before the lobby gentlemen
| came.
At this point the strike" looked
| like failure.
| But when the matter came to the
house Mr.. Overstreet introduced al
adroitly drawn resolution, the effec
Of which was to eliminate the So,
100000. Nobody had to go on rec
ord in voting for this resolution. 81
It went through with a jump.
