THE INVESTIGATION
OF BURSUM'S BOOKS
LIKE A CONSPIRACY
Facts and Figures Already Brought to Light by
Referee Stafford Put the Famous Hagerman
Investigation Very Much in That Light.

report which this expert submitted
TO Ex-Governor Hagerman aud
which was the basis for the slam
derS, the libels. and the false
hoods published by the Albu-
querque Morning Coyote Journal
and other Democratic yellow
sheets in New Mexico and which
should have been on file in the
executive office. not there and in
whose possession is il! This re-
port is an important official doc
ument which cost the people of
the Territory about Sl,250. If
it is in the possession of ex-Gov-
ernOr Hagerman il is plain that
he had no more right or power
to take il with him than he had
To take a desk or other property
of the Territory from the execu-
tive office. What is behind this
and what is the explanation:
In the investigation by this
expert why did ex-Governor Her
bert J. Hagermau ignore and set
aside the request ol MIR. Bursum
to be- represented by an expert
boOkkeeper and by reliable ac-
countantS at the investigation!
This was so fair and just a re-
quest that its denial by ex-Gover-
nor Hagerman certainly indicates
great hostility to Mr.. BurSum
and shows that lie acted without
the least desire to give Mr.. Bur
sum "A chance to be heard, to- sat
iSfy himself of the correctness Of
the statements by the expert, to
give him fair hearing so as to
establish his innocence or to
make settlement of any amounts
that might he found Justly due
To the Territory.
WASN'T IT A CONSPIRACY!
Again the fact that the orig
inal report of this expert has dis
appeared from the files of the ex-
ecutive office and that this ex-
pert when within the iuriSdic-
tiOn of the referee absolutely de-
clined for most trivial and silly
reasons to give testimony which
would enable the referee to in
sure accuracy in the preparation
of his report To the court the APP
pearance of a lying and false
special dispatch in the Albuquer-
que Morning Coyote Journal in
this matter, certainly are more
than sufficient to ask. WAS
there not venomouS and cow
ardly conspiracy in this whole
affair and a daStardly attempt
for the undOing and destruction
of III. o. BurSum as an official, as
a citizen and as a man." Ger
! tainly so far a good deal has APP
peared to give strong rise tn
such opinion and To such belief.
When the referees report shall
be published and the fnvestiga-
tiOn by the referee closed. il is
more than likely that this seeming.
" very grounded suspicion and
( opinion may develop into stern
! and absolute fact.

Pittsburg, Dec. 30.-After being Hns

John Omillian, aged 26, Slav miner.
was released from an underground
dungeon a raving manias today.
Omillian went to work last Thurs@
day in a small room off the main entry
of the mine, and ignited his blast. The
charge proved so strong, it loosened
enough earth to cause a fall. which
blocked effectually the exit from the
room. All his efforts to attract atten-
ton were in vain. A number of mine
officials, while going thru the diggings
to see that everything was safe. came
to the point where Omillian was en-
tombed. They at once saw something
was wrong. When the debris was
cleared away the officials were aston
ished to find a maniac dash among
them from the room, knock two res-
cuers down and put up a vigorous fight
before he was overpowered. Nothing
could be done for the Slav to restore
his mental balance. He is insane from
hunger and fear.

FlL1PlNos MUST WAIT
Taft Says Self Government Of islands
Is Not Possible for Ono and Per-
haps Two Generations.

Boston, Dec. 30.-Secretary Of War
Taft made his first public utterance
since his world-circling tour, here to-
day. Altho coming to Boston prin-
cipally as the guest Of the Merchants
association, Taft consented to meet
many persons in other walks Of life,
and program, which included brief
address to the leading ministers at the
regular Monday morning gathering of
Congregational ddvines, a luncheon
with Governor Guild, and reception
by the Jews at the Elysium club in the
afternoon, has been arranged.
In his address before the ministers
Taft touched at length on the progress
made in the Philippines, educational
ly and sanitarily, all of which he said
tended toward ultimate self govern
ment. He spent considerable time in
refuting the arguments Of so-called
anti-imperialists, majority Of whose
advocates, he seemed to think, belong
ed in Boston. He said that with only
Z per cent of the inhabitants Of the
Philippines sufficiently educated to un-
derstand self government, it would be
dangerous to give the islands over at
this time He placed ultimate self
government not earlier than genera
ton, or perhaps two of them.
Taft was warmly greeted by the au-
dience. Several leading divines who
spoke briefly referred to his political
future. and expressed the hope that he
might become president.

NEW SAYING OF CHRIST
Verso in Bible Lost to World for Thir-
teen Centuries Given to the Public

Verso in Bible Lost to World for Thir-
teen Centuries Given to the Public
Today.
Chicago, Dec. 30.-The Daily News
says+
"A new saying of Christ, lost to the
world for thirteen centuries and
found in Egypt, was given to the
world for the first time today by
Professor Henry A. Sanders, of the
University of Michigan, in addressing
the members of the archaeological in
stitute, now in session here.
The fragment is a part of an old
Bible dating back to the Moslem con-
quest of Egypt, and on it's face is SO
authentic as to disarm hostile critt-
cism. The long lost fragment belongs
in the sixteenth chapter of the Gospel
of ST. Mark and follows the fourteenth
verse. 1t relates to the story of
Christs appearance following his
death, to eleven Of his apostles III
Jerusalem, and contains the state
ment that the destruction Of sin in
the world is near at hand. With the
new verse the Bible reads thus:
Mark 1914: And they answered,
saying that this age Of unrighteousness
and unbelief is under the power Of
satan and does not permit the things
which are made impure by the (eviD
spirits to comprehend the truth of
God and his power. For this reason
Reveal they righteousness now they
said to Christ, and Christ said to
them, The limit of the years power
of satan has been fulfilled, but other
terrible things are at hand and I was
delivered unto death on behalf of those
who sinned in order that they may re-
turn to the truth and sin no more, to
spiritual indestructible glory of right
eousness, which is heaven
In discussing the new verse, Profess
sor Sanders said:
This newly discovered paragraph
was known to st. Jerome ard the fi55s 7
few lines of it are cited in Latin trans
lations. 1t has long been claimed that
Mark 16, $50, was an addition to the
gospel borrowed from some other un-
known gospel near the end of the sec
ond century. This new manuscript
probably presents the original form of
that part of the lost gospel, which,
was added to Mark. The
reason for the omission is quite appar-
rent. as the new verse contains the
statement that the destruction of sin
in the world is near at hand. This
idea is found in the Epistles of Peter
and Paul. but the Four Gospels do not
have it, and it is avoided by the later
church writer's"

AGENTS AWFUL FATE
Robbed, Murdered and Station Burned
Over His Head at cIarington, o. =
3. e. o. Railroad Loses Large Sum
Of Money by the Crime.

Clarington, O., Dec 30.-Edward
Hutchinson, the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad station agent here, was robbed
and murdered at an early hour today,
and the station burned over his head.
While the railroad officials will not
talk about his case, it is said that
the murderers got away with a large
sum of money. The burglars bound
and gagged Hutchinson, taking his
watch and money, then ransacked the
station A theory is advanced to pos
sibly explain the cold-blooded murder
Of the agent, that the burglars recog-
nized him and were recognized in turn.
Hutchinson had worked for the road
a number of years and came here
three months ago from Newark, O.
The burglars evidently decided to
burn Hutchinson as he lay hound, in
order to conceal their identity.

WOMEN EXCLUDED
None Except Members Of the Family

Court Room During Thaw's Second
Trial, Which Begins Next Monday.

New York, Dec. 30.-All women eX-
cept the members Of Thaw's family
and women reporters will be excluded
from the court room during the second
trial of Harry K. Thaw, under an or
der issued by Justice Bowling today.
Thaw's trial will begin next Monday.
The reason given for the order is that
the seating capacity of the court room
has been greatly reduced since the first
trial, and will now accommodate only
about 15s spectators. Justice Downing
is said also to be determined to pre-
vent the recurrence of the annoyance
caused at the last trial by women
moved by morbid curiosity, who made
use of every means at their command
to secure admission to court room
already overcrowded.
