GOVERNOR is ACCUSED.
Charges Against New Mexico Execu-
tive to Be Investigated.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, March 5.-The
house Monday passed resolution to
investigate the conduct of Gov. Her.
bert j. Hagerman in regard to the al
legged fraudulent acquisition of 1000
acres of timber lands in the Manzano
mountains by the Pennsylvania De-
velopment company, said to have
been connected with the Enterprise
bank failure at Pittsburg, Pa.
The charge is that the governor,
without the knowledge and consent of
the commissioner of public lands, de
livered to the general manager of the
Pennsylvania company the deed for
the land; that he took the seal of
the commissioner and unlawfully af-
fixed it to the deed; that the land is
worth from $25 to 800 an acre but
was sold at only three dollars an acre,
that the federal law at the time for
bid the selling of more than 100 acres
to any one purchaser, and that there
fore the territorial institutions to
whom these lands belonged were de,
frauded to that extent.

TWO BANDITS HOLD up A TRAIN.
Kill Negro Miner and Rob Passengers
of Small Amount.

Pittsburg, Kan, March 5.-A Mis-
souri, Pacific passenger train, which
left here at 1920 Monday evening, was
held up by two men in disguise, and
Lou jeff, a colored miner employed at
Camp 81 of the Central Coke & Coal
company, was killed because he re-
sisted and w. l.. Westlake of Toledo,
o., who with his wife and two chill
dren had been visiting relatives in
Kansas, was shot through the hand
by stray shot that had beeen fired
at the negro.
There were few passengers ON the
train, and the robbers secured only a
little over 500 in cash and few
watches and revolvers.
The robbers left the train at Cor
nell, seven miles from here.
The country surrounding Pittsburg
is thickly settled, and is dotted with
scores of villages and mining camps.
1t is reported that the news that a
miner was killed by the bandits has
spread rapidly and that the miners
are aroused and will make an attempt
to capture and lynch the men.

There should be some means where
by our halls of justice should not be
turned into show places where the SEN
sation lovers go to crafty their NOR
bid love of crime and its details. To
have court room packed with curios-
ity-maddened spectators to drink in
the tales of sin and misery forced
from the lips of unhappy witnesses Is
certainly not conducive to high
state of public morals. The courts
are for higher and sterner purpose
than to serve as places of entertain
ment for depraved popular taste.
The way in which the court room In
New York where the Thaw case is
being tried is packed by the morbid,
like a crowd of hungry crows after
carton, is, declares the Baltimore
American, disgrace to the proper
and dignified course of law and JUS
tice.

Gen. Lee Christmas Gan American for
merly living in Memphis, Tenn, and
Gen. Barahona with 1000 men
marched for the frontier of Nicaragua
to-day. Thirty-fve hundred soldiers
have arrived at the capital from the
western department of Gracias Intu-
buca and Copan and are being uni
formed and equipped. These soldiers
are the famous fighting Indians called
"Gracianas," men of great valor and
endurance, who remember the sack
ing of Cholutea by Nicaraguan troops
in 1894 and are enthusiastic for war.
When this force arrives Honduras
will have on the border between 49,
900 and $4,000 troops. A reserve of
$4,000 will be rapidly organized, the
entire fighting force of the country
being called on.

DlPHTHERIA in WHITE HOUSE.
Archie Roosevelt Has Mild Attack of
the Disease.

Washington, March president
Roosevelt's young son, Archie, has
diphtheria, but it is said that he is
not seriously i'll. The patient has
been isolated in the southeast room
of the White House and strict quar-
antine is being maintained.
Surgeon General Rixey, the presi-
dents physician, Sunday night said
that he was first called to see Archie
last Friday. He at once began the
use of antitoxin and sent for a trained
nurse. He has assured the president
and Mrs. Roosevelt that their son is
not seriously i'll and that there is no
occasion for alarm. Archie was in
school last week until the day he was
taken ill.

Senators Much Alike.

Senator Simmons, of North Carolina
and Senator Taliaferro, of Florida, look
enough alike to be twin brothers.
They are about the same size and
build; each has a heavy crop OF hair,
which is kept closely trimmed, and
their short, stubby mustaches are
much alike. Both have dark eyes
and there is probably not two pounds
difference in their respective weights.
If it were not for the fact that tho
Florida senator has few more gray
hairs in his head than his North Caro-
lima colleague it would be almost i'm
possible for the senate employees to
tell them apart.

Chinese View of PhrenoIosy.

brain bag is the Chinese name for
the skull, and bumps and brains In
their notion are intimately allied. The
skull is considered to be most perfect
when 1t is round, with tendency to-
ward a conical rise at the top, the
latter feature indicating great intek
lectual powers. A "hatchet" face, with
a broad, fat top to the head, means
vacillation and indecision. The most
important parts of the skull are the
forehead and the occiput, which Ia
called the pillow bone. A high and
broad forehead gives good hope or
long life. Bumps and depressions on
the occiput play an important part,
Two. connected bumps low down at
the back of the head denote a marital
temperament. A bump nearer the top
shaped like an egg lying on its side
denotes truthfulness and firmness; two
similar egg shaped bumps standing on
end, one on each side of the head, dc,
note fiery temperament and great
self confidence; two crescent shaped
bumps between these last two denote
longevity, A thin, pointed nose is a
sign of homicidal tendencies. The Chi
nese believe the outer conformation OF
the skull to be dependent upon the
shape of the brain within. And they
connect certain mental qualifications
with certain bumps and depressions
found on the skull. In conformity with
the Confucian dogma that man was
born good and becomes evil only by
his environment, so they further be-
lieve that bumps and depressions are
developed on the surface of the skull
by influences within. These inhu-
ences, in their turn, have been In
spired from without.

ADMITS THAW knew
WHAT He WAS Doing
DR.. EVANS TESTIFIES DEFEND
ANT HAS INSANE KNOWLEDGE
AT TIME OF CRIME.
Witness States Opinion That Brain
Storm of Whites Slayer Cleared
Up Immediately After Shooting
Or. Wagner on Stand.

New York, March 5.-District At
torney Jerome Monday concluded his
long cross-eXamination of DR.. Britton
D. Evans, the alienist for the defense
in the Thaw trial, who has declared
that Harry X. Thaw was suffering
from brain storm at the time he
shot and killed Stanford White. DR..
Evans was succeeded on the stand by
DR.. Charles G. Wagner of Bingham
ton, N. Y, also an alienist for the de-
Tense, and his REORGANIZATION was
begun.
Knew What He Was Doing.
Mr.. Jerome drew important admis-
sions from DIR. Evans Monday to the
effect that Thaw had knowledge of
what he was doing the night of the
tragedy. The witness, however, char.
acterized it as insane knowledge. Mr..
Jerome piled question after question
predicated upon Thaw's actions subse-
quent to the shooting, and asked if
they did not indicate that the defend
ant knew what he was about. DR..
Evans explained that he believed that
the brain storm had cleared up imme-
diately after the shooting, and that
Thaw's scattered senses had begun to
readjust themselves even before he
left the roof garden.
Mr.. Wagner used the present tense
in replying to question by the dis
trict attorney as to the form of
Thaw's insanity, saying he believed
the defendant "is suffering" from symp-
toms allied to two forms of insanity
one tending to melancholia and the
other to dementia. Thaw's attorneys
made no move to correct the wit
ness.
Defendant Consults with Lawyers.
Thaw again brought into court sew
eral big brown portfolio envelopes
filled with letters. He receives sew
eral scores of missives daily, some of
the letters coming from across seas,
and his Monday morning mail always
is heavy. Thaw engaged his lawyers
in earnest consultation when he took
his place facing the witness and the
jury box. He directed his remarks es-
pecially at Mr.. Peabody and Mr.. Nc
Pike. The latter seemed DESTROYS of
avoiding the conversation, and drew
back several times with tolerant mods
of his head. The defendant, how
ever, was earnest and would not be
denied. He continued to talk for sew
eral minutes. Then he sat back and
listened to the first question address
ed by District Attorney Jerome to DR..
Evans. 1t was about the first time
he had paid the slightest attention to
the witness since he took the stand.
Thaw did not listen long, however, but
turned to Daniel O'Reilly and began
to talk rapidly to him. Thaw's lips
could be seen moving rapidly as he
whispered into O'Reilly's ear.

NEAR A LYNcHINe IN OHIO.
Marietta Crowd Menaces Men Arrest
ed for Dragging Little Girls.

Marietta, O., March A lynching
seemed imminent here early Sunday
evening when a large crowd of peo-
pie surrounded the city Jail, where
Walter w. Savage, of Syracuse, N. Y,
and his accomplice, Andy Coruthers,
were imprisoned.
Savage is an advertising sketch
occupying window in the Dime Saw
ings society building. He has made
specially of getting young girls to
allow him to make their pictures.
About one o'clock Sunday after.
noon he had six young girls between
the ages of II and IA years of age in
his room, gave them whisky, wine and
beer and administered some kind of
drug. At six o'clock Sunday evening
the police discovered that something
was wrong and, upon investigating,
found all six of the girls unconscious,
lying on the floor The girls and the
two men, Coruthers having been
found in the room, were taken to the
city Jail. Physicians were summoned
and made an examination of the girls
and administered emetics, and about
seven o'clock they had partly re-
gained consciousness. The girls claim
that the men forced them to drink.
Under guard of the entire police
force the men were rushed to the
county jail, which is on the fifth floor
of the courthouse building.
The sheriff and his deputies, assist
ed by the police, are guarding the two
prisoners, and it seems that lynch
ing will be averted, although the feel
ing of the populace is very intense.

Navy a Business Proposition.

The navy to-day is strictly a busi-
ness proposition-in fact, it might be
termed scientific, and l venture to
say there are more good mathemati-
clans among the men than can be
found among any similar lot of men
gathered from all sections of the coun-
try, as these boys are. A few figures
In reference to target practice might
be of interest in this connection, says
Admiral Robley D. Evans in National
Magazine, showing how economical
all this perfection is, and how much
better it is to maintain this regular
practice. As one old tar remarked:
"Blowed if a grain of powder in prac.
tice does not save a ton in service;
for when it comes to straight shoot
ing, the men put every grain where 1t
counts" Thus the ravages and waste
of war are lessened in the actual out
lay, if target practice is regularly
held. The building of the Panama
canal means an impetus to the trad
ing interests of this country, and II
the people could take the power of the
American flag on the high seas, as 1t
floats on the masthead of modern
cruiser or battleship, they would I'M
derstand that the navy is business
proposition, aside from the spirit of
national pride and patriotism and the
necessity for preparedness"

Iona Sermons,

Mark Twain tells this story, tho
moral of which you may supply your
self: 81 went to church one time and
was so impressed by what the preach
er told me about the poor heather
that 1 was ready to give up hundred
dollars of my own money and even go
out and borrow more to send to the
heather. But the minister preached
too long, and my enthusiasm began to
drop about $25 drop till there was
nothing left for the poor heather, and
by the time he was through and the
collection was taken up stole ten
cents off the plate. "-Southwestern's
