striking example of what viii be ac-
complished invariably by an awakened
public sentiment. following fearless
and able leadership.
Governor Hageuhan came into Of
fee in New Mexico ten months ago.
Within that time he has destroyed one
of the strongest political machines
which had ever fastened itself upon
the public affairs of any common
wealth. a ring which had taken ten
years i'm the building and under which
the republican party in the territory
was being hurried to its ruin When
he came into office the failure of the
governor was fresly ~ predicted. and
even clear-headed far-seeing men
doubted his ability 10 accomplish any
thing against the opposition of the
veteran politicians who took the field
against him. The governor paid from
the start more attention to the man
agement of public affairs than to po-
litical management. and he went to
the root of things ia a way which the
politicians fighting him did not UNDER
stand. The people. however under
stood and the result. astonishing and
complete as it is. v rs inevitable.

School for Thugs in
the Angel City
Young HfghWayman Says He
Received Instructions in
HoIdup Art
srEcIAL pIspArcH 70 THE cALL

Los ANGELES. Nov 25.-That a
school of robbery where men are
taught the hold up and burglary games
and carefully instructed in the art of
taking others money by force or other
wise, exists in Los Angeles was brought
to light today by the confession of
William Roesler.
Roesler is a Los Angeles boy, who
has always borne a good reputation.
He was arrested in Chester place while
he was concealed behind a. tree waiting
for a VICTIM An officer crept up behind
him and had him covered before he
could draw his revolver. On his per-
son were found skeleton keys, mask
and two revolvers. He was identified
later BY the victim of recent holdup.
In fact when arrested he was wearing
an overcoat he had stolen at the point
of gun.
Roesler told the police today that, be-
ing out of work, he became desperate.
The ease with which highwaymen
worked appealed to him and he met a
party of men in an East First street
house and they instructed him how to
operate. Speaking of the leader OF this
school of crime sRoesler said:
"He told me lots about it. and said
that there were other men who could
instruct me. He showed me how to
hold my gun on man and search him
at the same time. He explained how
could put my victim at my mercy by
startling him. We practiced over and
over again, just to see that had the
system down right. He,was the robber
first and 1 was the victim. and he would
Jump from behind the door and COM
mand me to hold up my hands. Then it
was my turn to play robber.
IT got a revolver and started out to
search for victim. I remembered my
instructions to take man by surprise
and not let HIM figure out who you
are, and so, instead of trailing some
likely looking candidate, 1 went to a
dark spot on Maple avenue and waited.
say. 1t was so easy 1 hated to do it.
Two men came along the walk and I
decided to take the first one. I stepped
out quickly in front of him and put my
revolver in his face. didn't want to
say much and he did all the talking.
He put his hands out from his body
and told me to take whatever I could
find on him.
The boy confessed two other holdups
and three burglaries. He says he will
plead guilty when his case comes up.

CORNER IN GOLD SOUGHT

There is only one logical deduction
to be made from this action of the
trust,% said Secretary Heron of the
stock exchange today. "They have vir-
tually made it impossible for Nevada
mines to market their products. What
they seek to do is to control the visible
supply OF gold. and if they succeed in
that it will be an easy matter for them
to control the gold supply of the coun-
try. The only solution is the building
of independent smelters, but that would
take time and in the meantime an op-
portunity will be afforded them to buy
up stocks at low figures. for this step
will cause a decided drop in prices of
all stocks

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
LOS ANGELES, Nov. Is.
1t is the belief of many prom
inent Nevada mining men,
scores of whom make Los
Angeles their headquarters,
that the recent announce
ment of the srnelter trust as
to the conditions under which it
would handle Nevada ores is the
first step in a colossal conspiracy
absolutely to control the financial
situation.
The statement is freely made
in places where mining men con-
gregate here that combination
exists between the sinelter trust
and the Standard oil company by
which it hopes to secure control of the
entire mineral output in the west and
thus in time dominate the financial
situation.
The announcement referred to was
made in Denver several days ago. 1t
was to the effect that by reason of
the financial stringency the smelter
trust would treat no ores from Nevada
except under the stipulation that re-
turns would not be made for so days
At the same time a sharp advance was
made in the rates charged for treating
such ores. this being the third time
that the rates have been advanced.
COLORADO NOT INCLUDED
To the owners of Nevada mines which
have been producing in the aggregate
more than a million dollars a week in
gold this declaration by the American
smelling company created some sur
prise, but when it was learned that the
same rules would not be applied to the
owners began casting about for solu-
ton of the problem. This is the solu-
tion which most of them believe to be
correct:
The American smelling company, a
Standard oil corporation, is trying to
stop the supply of gold from all sources
that the Standard does not controls; it
owns most of the big gold producing
mines in the Colorado district and is
therefore able to regulate the supply
from that source; with the available
supply of gold cornered in New York
it may be possible, If the present plan
succeeds, TO force others who must have
gold to come to whatever terms it may
desire 10 dictate.
The action of the smelter trust has
had an instantaneous effect upon the
Nevada mining stocks, and today on the
Los Angeles Nevada mining exchange
sales were the smallest in the history
of the organization.
