DANNY IS CUNNING
BUTiN0T VERY WISE
usss;ssSis azsl;5fs.: i,s 20 so'' s..N

Editor Citizen:
AS a constant reader of your paper,
find that The Citizen has charged
the morning paper with trying to
keep up a conflict in which the people
of Albuquerque have absolutely no
interest. The following seems to
your correspondent to be the state Of
case:
The Morning Journal expects to
reap some financial benefit from op-
posing the will of the people and the
action of the republican party; and
regardless of every other interest it is
fighting to secure that benefit.
This is so well known and so abso-
lutely assured that it cannot be de-
MED. Danny is after the almighty
dollar. In getting these chestnuts out
of the fire, he is trying to make a
cats paw of She people of this city
and of the three members of the leg
islature from Bernalillo county, utter
ly unconcerned whether or not they
get singed in the fire.
This may be wise on the part of
Danny, and it certainly is character
istic of his methods of procedure. But
buquerque and of the Bernalillo coun-
ty legislators? Why should they get
burned raking Danny's chestnuts for
him? Why should they lose impor-
tant measures which could be Sc
cured, merely in order to sustain Dam
ny in a fight which is entirely for his
own benefit and in which neither the
legislators from this county nor their
fpln ~ In
terest?
What is the district attorneys bill
TO US? What do we care as to who
shall fill the office in other districts?
Then, too. IL there Is any particular
person the people of this district de-
sire appointed till the elections shall
be held, such appointment can be Sc
cured without difficulty. Why then
shall we undertake TO obstruct the
people Of the territory in securing
legislation which they demand-de-
mand by an overwhelming majority? =?
Is Albuquerque to put itself against
the wish of the people at large? II
so, how can Albuquerque expect to
secure anything she may desire? ?
Through their representatives, the
majority of the people OF the terri
tory demand the election of district
attorneys. II Bernalillo county joins
itself the minority to defeat the will
of the majority, only one thing can
be expected. The majority will say:
I'VE want the election of district at
torneys. You are preventing us from
getting what we want: then you may
whistle for what you want" This re-
suit is as inevitable as 1t is natural

YESTERDAY IN HOUSES
AND ON THE FLOORS

Santa F'e, N. M, Feb. 26.-The fifth
week of the Thirty-seventh legislative
assembly opened yesterday with busy
sessions of both the council and the
house. There were absent from the
council Mr.. Martinez, delayed in
reaching the capital from his home
and in the house Mr.. Aldrich, who is
ill, and Mr.. Sanchez of San Miguel,
delayed en- route here from Las We
gas. Captain DR.. Littlefield Ruppe
and "Maybee" Walters, the San Juan
county statesman, were also present.

enough in the house until Mr.. Holt in
troduced house joint resolution No.

and contingent expenses of the legis-
lature. This resolution is to pay the
employees and expenses in the house
and council, amounting in total to

and the council $3,064, the warrants
TO be drawn in favor of the speaker
and the president respectively, the OBJ
jections of the governor to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
The resolution was no sooner read
in full than Mr.. Hudspeth, who plays
half-back on Littlefield Rupees Grip
Dlbu seven n-tOInt-tleNellt was on MS
feet. He said that he did not think a
discussion of the resolution could
change the vote to any appreciable
extent thereon, but he only wanted to
remind the house that 1t was over
drawing Its bank account and might
have to run on one meal day If 1t
continued this extravaganza. He SOL
EMMY asked for a roll call and had
the pleasure of being the only one
who voted no when the house passed
the resolution. Captain Littlefield
Ruppe, NJ. D., voted AYE" and threw
the minority into such confusion that
it lost the ball on the first yard-line.
Mr.. Mullins solemnly observed that
he "reckoned as soon as we spend the
money we kin go home" when press
ed for a reason for not voting. He
then voted to pay the employees.
The band wagon was so crowded
that Captain Littleheld Ruppe was in
constant danger of being showed off
and falling under the wheels,

Abe Hummell Is Chief Witness
For Contradiction
OF Evelyn.
HE MAKES LITTLE #
ANY HEAD WAY, IS
Dismissed and Mrs. Harry Thaw
Is Recalled to the Stand
by Jerome.

New York, Feb. 26.--Abraham II.
Hummell. the lawyer who drew up
the affidavit to which Evelyn Nesbit
Is said to have sworn and signed,
which charged Thaw with cruelties
during 1903 while on a trip to Eu-
rope, was the first witness in the
Thaw trial today.
Hummell was shown a photo
graphic copy of the last page of the
famous affidavit, to refresh his men,
ory, as to the date Evelyn called at
his office. Delmas objected to the
use of the photograph but the court
allowed the questions.
Jerome asked Hummell IL he die
tated to the stenographer while Eve
| lyn was present. Delmas objected to
the question saying that Jerome was
apparently trying to show Mrs. Thaw's
evidence false, and he could not inter-
rupt the cross examination for such
purpose. Jerome claimed that IL the
witness told Thaw in Paris that there
was no truth in her statement about
White he should be allowed to put 1t
in. The affidavit contains such an al
legation and says that Thaw whipped
Miss Nesbit when she told him there
was no truth in 1t. Fitzgerald over
ruled the objection and Hummell said
he did dictate the statement In the
presence of Evelyn. Jerome asked
Hummell several other questions but
objections were sustained to them and
Hummell was temporarily excused.
Delmas Blocks jerome.
| Delmas having successfully blocked
for the time all testimony regarding
the alleged affidavit, Jerome asked
Mrs. Thaw to be recalled. The wit
ness was handed paper which she
identified as her diary. Delmas
| consumed nearly forty minutes In
reading the diary and offered no OBJ
jections to its introduction, and Mrs
Thaw said she kept a dairy while at
sechool in Pompton, N. j., in 1902.

Jerome read several extracts from

she ever saw Thaw act in an ir-

seen White. At these times she sale
Thaw cried and sobbed and bit hi
nails and talked rapidly. Prompted
by Jerome she said he trembled
