was amended so that the superinten-
dents are to be elected as they are
| now, but no person is eligible to the
position who does not hold a teachers
certificate and who has not had expe-
| rience as a teacher. The bill is not
all that is desired by the educators,
but they are well satisfied with the
| advance made, and will follow it up
at the next legislature.
Beach, the man who introduced the
| resolution to investigate the connec-
ton of the Governor with the land
deal of the Pennsylvania Develop
ment Co, and which has given the
Republican leaders severe headaches
for the past two weeks, introduced a
resolution on Saturday evening to in
vestigate the office of Territorial Aud
itor Sargent, who is a member of the
council. The committee which was
appointed to investigate this matter
was instructed to report today.
Some of the prominent Republican
leaders have been busy for a week
trying to find some excuse for delay
ing the report in connection with the
Pennsylvania Development Co., but
it will matter little whether this re-
port is made or not. The whole mat
ter will be thoroughly ventilated in
the press if the committee fails to

lar to the old case of the fellow who
caught the bear and wanted assist
ance to let him go. There have been
more brilliant men in the house of
representatives than Beach, and that
fact is realized by half a dozen of the
old Republican leaders. Beach will
retire from public life in New Mexi-
co by unanimous consent.
Complications suddenly developed
in the county division plans last Fri
day evening. After the passage of the
Foraker and Pyramid county bills
and the defeat of the Garfield county
bill it was feared that there might
be a reconsideration of the vote by
which the Garfield county bill was
defeated, and a new lineup was form
ed with the opponents of Garfield
and Artesia in the front. The Fora
ker and Pyramid projects being out
of the way, the advocates of those
measures became Indifferent to future
action as to county schemes. 1t is
not believed that the Artesia county
measure can pass, and there is a pro-
liability that it may not be reported
from the committee. In this case it
understood that there is a new move
in prospect. This is no less than a
plan to introduce new bill providing
for the addition of that part of Cha
YES county south of the north line of
Eddy county to the present county
of Eddy and form a new county to be
known as Artesia county with Arte-
Sla as the county seat. This proposed
change of county seat from Carlsbad
to Artesia and the addition of the
jog in Chaves county which lies
south of the north line of Eddy coun-
ty is a new phase of the question.

urday. 1t was not discovered until the
bill was drawn that such move was
contemplated. 1t is not yet known

to accept the money derived from said
checks and refused to distribute the
money to the Territorial institutions
in behalf of which the lands were
sold.
Sixth, That at the time the Cover
nor affixed the seal to said deeds and
delivered the same he was not a
member of the board of public lands
and had 40 official connection with
the disposition of lands.
Seventh, That by reason of the ac-
tion of the Governor the Territory
has been deprived of a large area of
land at a totally inadequate price.
Eighth, That the disposition of said
| lands after the action by the Depart
ment at Washington was a fraud On
the people of New Mexico and its in
stitutions, and the committee res
pectfully recommends the adoption of
a resolution commanding the district
attorney of the Second Judicial Dis
trict, including the county of Tor
rance, in which the lands are situat-
ed, to bring suit to vacate or set
aside the deeds on the ground of
fraud. and recommend that similar
action be taken in similar cases nam
ed in House Resolution No. IA.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the report Abbott moved that the
testimony be read and the reading was
commenced. Action will probably be
taken on the report this afternoon.

Special to the Daily Record.

| Special to the Daily Record.
Santa Fe, N. NJ, Mar. 1S.-The spe-
cial committee which was appointed
two weeks ago to investigate the con-
nection of the Governor with the land
| deal of the Pennsylvania Develop
| ment Company, made its report at
ten O'Clock this morning.
The report was of great length and
reviewed the testimony given by A.
A. Keen, commissioner of public
lands, Frank w. Sharon, clerk of the
Attorney General Reid, NJ. o. Level
lyn and others. 1t follows the trans
action from October 10, 1901, when
the application was made for this
land, down to the delivery of the
deeds to Hopewell last summer.
The report is an arraignment of
the Governor from beginning to end.
The report states that it is perfectly
certain to the committee that the
Governor knew that ne was violating
the law when he usurped the func-
tions of the committee of public lands
and that by his course he took from
the people and the various institu-
tions a large area of the public land
without proper compensation
Land worth 25 dollars or more al
acre was given away for So, says the
report. 1t continues that there was
no doubt that the Governor was fully
aware of the conditions. and tnat the
committee cannot escape the convic
tion that there was collusion. At the
end of the report it is summed up:
First, That Hon. H. J. Hagerman,
Governor of New Mexico, without the
knowledge or consent of the commits
Sioner of public lands, and during his
absence from his Office, delivered TO
W. S. HopeweH in behalf of the Penn
sylvania Development Co., deeds COW
ering seven thousand or more acres
of valuable timber lands in the Man
zano mountains, in Torrance county,
New Mexico, for the price of three
dollars an acre.
Second, That without the k1owl-
edge and consent of the commissioner
of public lands, he procured from the
office of the commissioner, who was
absent, the official seal of his Office
and unlawfully affixed the said seal
to about % deeds, conveying said land
to HopeweH for the benefit of the
Pennsylvania Development Co.
Third That at the time said seal
was affixed to said deeds the Cover
nor was fully aware of the report
made by a special agent of the Inte-
rior Department disappearing of the
application of Hopewell and others
on the ground that the applications
were in violation of the law.
Fourth, That the Governor usurped
the functions of the commissioner in
delivering the deeds and accepting
personal check from Hopewell-

gality of the transaction the commits

The dispatch relates to an alleged

Ruef Trial at San Francisco.
San Francisco, Mar. 1S.-The tria
of Abraham Ruef, accused of extortion
will proceed before Judge Dunno il
the Superior Court, and the work OF
paneling the jury will continue, -four
men having been drawn. Henry Ach
one of Ruef's attorneys, has stated
that the defense will offer no further
objection to the court proceeding for
the reason that the jury being secur-
ed and the U. S. Supreme Court
should then grant the writ of habeas
corpus already applied for, the defen-
dant could be freed on the ground of
being once placed in jeopardy.

When Reuben Came to Town.

NJ Noble, gave three entertainments
in this city Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday nights. There was a
large audience each time, and from
the frequent and hearty demo1stra-

ance was most highly enjoyed and
appreciated. Each one of the compa-
ny maintained his part with credit,
but Fred c. Frilk as Reuben Glue
was exceptionally fine, and again
and again brought down the house.
We have had no theatrical play here
for long time, which was as good
as this one, and our people would
heartily welcome its return. (From

John Mcdonald Pardoned.

John Mcdonald passed through
Roswell Saturday night on his way
from the penitentiary at Santa Fe
TO his home in Carlsbad, where his
family awaited him. Mcdonald was
convicted of killing Will Turk about
five years ago and has spent practi-
cally all of the time since then either
IN Jail or the penitentiary. His SEN
tence, received at Carlsbad, was for
fifteen years. The first of this year
the sentence was cut to seven years,
and now he has received an absolute
pardon. Many people thought he was
justified in the killing at the time,
and his pardon was secured upon a
monster petition and through the in
fiuence of strong friends. Mcdonald

of Chaves county.

MIND, THE MYSTIC
MONITOR OF MAN

Mind the Mystic Monitor of Man. and
the three orders of mental Development
Sensual. intellectual and moral-were de-
scribed by Capt Theodore Valiant in his
Friday evening lecture at the Homeward
Bound Mission, 119 Pennsylvania avenue
last week.
There are three forms of mental organi-
zation," said the lecturer. leach form CIV
ing birth to an order of spirits characteristic
of itself 1t is in these spirits that all per-
ception resides Matter in itself considered
has not any power either to perceive or TO
act. The ideas of mind are spiritual and
thoughts are the elements of ideas. There
are consequently many orders OF
thoughts and ideas as there are orders OF
spirits for each order has its own class OF
ideas When taken a whole there Is
truly but one idea, and that resides in and
is God and the word.
Man cannot create knoWiedge any more
than he can create matter, declared capt.
Valiant "All of his works are but the de-
yelopment of his own mind, and they are
also the development, as far as they go, OF
the mind of God Choice Is the highest at
tribute of God. He dOeth according 10 his
own will. Men having choice under certain
conditions choose darkness rather than
light. and the results of their choice are
made manifest in the accommodating evils
which come upon them.
The service preceding the lecture was
opened by congregational singing, and fol-
lowed by prayer by Benjamin F. Wade.
The lesson was by Evangelist George A.
Mills Of Fredericksburg. Va Mrs Haslam,
commander of the Homeward Bound Mis-
sions, announced that she will preside over
the public meeting this evening, at "nlch
