DID BOY EXECUTIVE
TAKE OFFICIAL
RECORDS?
Important Documents on PriS-
on Investigation Can Not BE
Found by Reynolds.
EXPERT ACCOUNTANT
HELD AT SANTA FE
Special to The Citizen.

Special to The Citizen,
Santa Fe, n. NJ, June ga sem
sation was sprung here today when
in an attempt to look up the report
made by Francis H. Mcmahon, the
expert accountant who conducted the
secret examination Of the territorial
penitentiary under II. j. Hagerman
and on whose report, II. o. Bursum
was declared a defaulter by Hager-
man, IL was discovered that records
Of the affair, which cost the terri
tory $1,250, were missing from the
governors office
1t is believed that these records
were removed by the ex-governor for
reasons best known to himself
An effort will be made to secure
the return of these documents which
contain considerable interesting infor-
nation badly needed at this time.
Mcmahon arrived in Santa Fe last
night on personal business. This
morning he was requested to tesu-
fy on behalf Of the territory in the
case of H. O. Bursum VS.. the Terri
tory of New Mexico, a suit brought
to secure an open accounting for all
penitentiary funds.
Mcmahon refused to testify He
was subpoenaed and brought by the
sheriff before the secretary this after
noon.
lie uttillltu 10 MAKE any Sldlt-
ment unless the original reports sign
ed by himself were produced.
IL was then that the loss was dis
covered The reports are three in
number and they were not in their
customary place In the files Of the
executive office whore they were kept
before Hagerman left the office. 1t
now develops that they have not been
seen since Hagerman left.
The examination was adjourned un-
til late this afternoon nj which time
the examination Of Mcmahon will be
continued If possible. Mcmahon
makes all sorts Of excuses and tech
nical objections to testifying and is
very loath TO discuss I'm any manner,
the Bursum- -Hagermau controversy
over the penitentiary.
Unless Mcmahon consents 10 tell
what he knows, it Is probable that he
will be held here until he is prepared
10 testify as 10 the examination of
the prison and several other matters
of importance about which he will
probably be asked.

It WILL BECOME
EFFECTIVE JULY |
Matter VIII be Taken Into Courts
and Given Test as to ConSti-
tuti0ndlity Of Statutes
Passed In Eighteen
States.

Chicago, June 22.-The Inter-
Ocean today says: Passenger rates
on all railroads in the United States
Will be reduced to two cents per mile
beginning July l.
This was the decision reached in
Chicago yesterday, after a long and
heated discussion by the leading
presidents of all the western and
trans-continental roads.
1t was not formal agreement but
Ii is equally binding, as two large
roads doing a trans-continental busi-
ness are said to have served an ulti-
matum to the others that they would
put the rate law into effect imme-
diately.
VIII Test LAW.
The railroads will test the two-cent
fare laws as adopted in eighteen
states during the past year, but pend
ing the decision of the courts, the
officials propose to make the two
cent rate general, thus proving to the
entire country that it is not a re-
munerative figure.
Heads of the big systems contend
that the railroads cannot furnish
present accommodations for the two
cent fare, and that the cheap rate
Will mean second class passage in
sttsd of the prese n elegant equip
ment on practically every mile OF
road in the United States.
1t is also hinted by some Of the
men who attended the conference,
that there will be no transcontinen-
tai excursion rates while the two
cent fare holds good. Should a par
ty desire to travel from New York
to San Francisco, there Is a strong
probability that he will have to pay
full two cents per mile for the en-
tire distance, when the new rates
go into effect.
1t is stated that the Santa Fe was
represented at this meeting by Presi-
dent r. p. Ripley, and that he was
one Of the men who insisted on the
general adoption of the two-cent
fare.

WAS A PIONEER
OF ALBUQUERQUE

S. w. Moore, one of the attorneys
in Missouri for the Santa Fe railway,
with offices in Kansas City, passed
through Albuquerque this morning in
private car No. l, attached to train
No. 2, en- route from Los Angeles,
where he accompanied his wife last
week.
81 consider myself one of the pio-
neers of new Albuquerque, for l lived
here from 1880 up to about 1890"
said Mr.. Moore. when l first came
here, all that marked the spot where
the new city is situated today were
tents, occupied by the railroad en-
ployes. The first building in new
albuquerque was erected by the
Moore Bennett company for the l..
b. Putney Grocery company. The
structure was located across the street
from the Alvarado, where the Metro
politan hotel is now located.
The work of constructing the
Putney building was begun on April
q, 1880, and before it was completed
host of other buildings were started
which announced that new Albuquer-
que was in existence. Mr.. Putney
has since died and his son, Robert, is
at the head of the firm.
THE Santa Fe railway then only
extended to where the shops are now
located. The old town was classed
as one Of the largest cities in the
southwest in point of commercial in
teTests."
Frank Moore, a local attorney is
cousin of Mr.. Moore, and the Kansas
City attorney expected to meet his
cousin at the train, but he was dis
appointed.

The Public Lands convention which
politely but firmly refused TO support
the leasing system for the public do
main, proposed by the national ad-
ministration, was closely watched by
sheep and cattle interests all over the
west and southwest.
The action taken by the conven-
tion was not as radical as might have
been expected had not cool heads and
wise counsel prevailed. The live
stock men are satisfied that they at
least succeeded in acquainting fed
eral officials more closely than ever
with the conditions to be faced in the
southwest and west on the open range
and believe that the convention viii
have a good effect.
In fact the bulk of the delegates
are we'll pleased with the outcome
and hope for the best. They realized
that they had to deal with a delicate
ana KnOtty problem ana they acted
with the usual good sense for which
the live stock men of the southwest
are noted.
New Mexico secured what it went
after" said Mr.. Luna. I'VE went to
Denver to oppose the policy of leas-
ing the public domains as proposed
by the administration. 1 was on the
committee of resolutions and our
committee unanimo ously brought in
the following report
I'VE are opposed to any change in
the existing laws and customs, as to
grazing of livestock upon the public
domains. outside OF the forestry re-
serves Our report was adopted, af-
ter a considerable debate"
New Mexico was well represented
at the convention" said Harry Lee,
by sixty prominent cattlemen, sheep
men and others interested in cattle
throughout the territory. When not
in convention, we were busy visiting
in the city and we had a good time.
Most of the delegates remained over
in Denver"
1T was the largest convention Of
its kind ever held in the west" con-
tinued Mr.. Luna mot only for the
number of prominent men who at
tended it. but for the number of
cattlemen of the southwest who were
there. Nearly all were opposed to
the leasing system"

San Francisco Trouble Will

OFFICES THERE ARE
HANDLING BUSINESS

San Francisco, Cal, June 22.-The
situation here in connection with the
telegrapher's strike is quiet Upon a
conservative estimate about 200 men
are out.
Service is maintained in the local
offices by officials of the companies.
including chief operators and wire
chiefs, with a few men and women
who refused to strike.
An attempt will be made to bring
new operators here to fill the places
of the strikers.
May Cause General Strike.
Postal and Western Union officials
insist that they will hold no confer
ence with the officers union. If they
remain obdurate the telgraphers in
other cities may be called out, thus
tying up the commercial business of
the west.
The places of the striking street
car men, it is announced by officers
of the United railroads, are fast be-
ing filled.
1t is hoped that the local strikes
will all be settled before the peace
conference, called by the concilation
committee. takes place.
1t is stated this afternoon, that
the telegraph companies have not
yet received aid from any outside
non-union telegraphers, but that the
first of these men may be expected
tonight
An effort will be made to induce
the non-union men to keep out of
the offices, and should this prove un-
successful, the national officials OF
the union will be asked to call
general strike of telegraphers.
Many Operators at Work.
superintendent May, of the West
ern Union, said today that over fifty
operators, nearly one-third of the
usual force, are working. A speedy
Increase in the number of men is ex-
pected, as many applications for en-
ployment are coming in.
All former employees will be dealt
with as individuals, the company alb
solutely refusing TO recognize the un-
ion in any manner.
May denied the statement Of Presi-
dent Small, of the union, that the
company had refused to treat with
the employees, or refused their re-
quests for an increase of wages.
At the postal office, IL was claimed
that nearly one-third of the former
force is working.

GEN. FUNSTON SENDS
AN INSULTING
ANSWER
San Francisco Committee
WrOth Over His Alleged
DlSCOurtesy.
AFFAIR CONCERNS
MILITARY DISPLAY

San Francisco, June 22.-In reply
TO an invitation requesting the par
uclpation of United States troops in
the Fourth of July parade here Cen
eral Frederick Funston sent a COM
munication that caused much discus
sion among the members of the COM
mlttee having in charge the coming
celebration.
After thanking the committee for
its kind invitation, General Funston
said that he was loath to parade his
men in the streets "to be-" as he is
quoted, "sneered at and jeered at by
an unwhipped mob"
"A special committee was appointed
to consider the matter and decide
whether any reply should be made to
his letter.
Regarded as Insult.
Funston's reply is generally regard
ed here as an insult though prob
ably due to his disposition to take
rapid fire views Of everything.
Whether intentional or not, the COM
mtttee feels that Gen. Funston owes
the city an apology, and 1t is high
ly probable that the only reply that
VIII be made to him will be a re-
quest that he make one at once.
1t is an accepted fact that the city
has been in a riotous condition at
times, but as far as any attempt be-
ing made to jeer at soldiers in a pa
triotic parade, the committee feels
that Gen. Funston has exceeded the
bounds of belief.

 Interstate magnates propose to keep out of the league circuit all players who have jumped or broken contracts with any club in the league The mag hates are fortifying themselves against any more .ottbreaks by presenting the players who have affAAdS signed with ironclad contracts, with Instructions to append their signatures or. efface them selves from the surrounding landscape.
 Manager John Davis of the Youngs- town team, who is also treasurer of the league, has been In the east for about ten days, and is expected to etey until the end of the week He is visit ing ali the cities in the National cir cult and is endeavoring to secure play CTS who have not already been in the Interstate league. The players who jumped are being ignored, however. none being aslSe te sign sr come back tA the feSnss they formerly played on.
