Santa Fe, July S.-(Special) -
The Ancient order of Pie Eaters ded
iCated to the memory of dead ones
and pledged to the manipulation Of
Governor George Curry, sprung
new one here Saturday night when
it gravely ann Ounced that it had re-
moved its headquarters from the San
Francisco street barrel house to the
back office of the dinky little print
shop of the dinky little democratic
weekly, whose editor is Santa Fe cor
respondent for the Albuquerque
Morning Journal.
"Tin Cans" Amalgamate.
In addition it leaked out that a
still greater coup de tat had been per-
petrated and that the Ancient Order
of Pie Eaters had amalgamated with
the Tin Can club.
The first meeting in the new head
quarters was an enthusiastic one.
Following the signing of the articles
Albuquerque, president of the board
of penitentiary commissioners, sue
ceeded in getting himself outside OF
a few remarks which were enthusiast
tically received.
TrelfOrd Initiated.
Ex-Superintendent Arthur Trelford
and his assistant, Sample, were then
they. having qualified several days
ago. While not eligible to the tin
can club as yet r. H. Hanna, Trel-
ford's attorney, was made a member
of the Ancient Order of Pie Eaters
and was admitted to the meeting.
Easicy Wanted to Join.
General Charley Easley, head Of
ship in the tin can club. desiring to
control both organizations His ap-
pication was held up, however, be-
cause he could not show the neces-
sary certified can. The general is
secretary of the prison commission
ers. He is now filled to overfiowing
with indecision. He does not want
to lose that job and still to retain his
prestige he must break into the tin
can club in some manner. 1t is un-
derstood that he will make applica-
ton to the attorney general to use
the name of the territory in quo
warranto proceedings to have the
courts decide why he cannot be can
ned ana at the same time hold his
job. Certainly, if the attorney gem
eral is not afraid of a fair and i'm
partial hearing in court of the ter
ritory, he will accede 20 this request.
If necessary, General Easley will send
for the mounted police and have him
self elected from somewhere or other
in order to get the matter properly
before the courts.
In the meantime his application
will remain in the hands of the tin
can clubs membership committee.
Took Pen i'm Hand.
The meeting Saturday night turned
to Morning Journalism. The editor
of the democratic weekly called the
joint session to order by rapping with
a cob pipe on the office stove.
The members then took seats on
the forms, the hand press, the floor
and the office towel.
AS Senator Sulzer arose to speak
he was met by a burst of applause
which was quickly subdued when an
Easley and Fritz Muller investigated
and the general uncermoniously
elected the office cat, which had been
attracted by the smell of link sau-
sage and cheese.
The edibles were then placed un-
der the office wash pan and the edit
or of the democratic weekly sat upon
the pan.
BY Creased Wire.
Following the senator's speech,
General Easley arose TO make few
remarks but the telephone rang and
a voice informed the editor Of the
democratic weekly that some Morning
Journalism was due in Albuquerque
soon or something would drop.
The Amalgamated order of Pie
EdltIS anu lnt lin Idll CluD lIlCH
took up the task of writing Specials
by Morning Journal Creased Wire.
Attorney Hanna looked over the
shoulder of the democratic editor to
see that the specials were not libel
Gus.
The first special concerned Bailey
Brown, killed while trying to break
jail at Ration. Brown, being dead, the
special passed the attorneys critical
eye and was duly placed in an envel-
ope and mailed. 1t was decided that
he could not be libeled and il he were
libeled he could not do anything be-
ing dead.
Dead as Easley.
Some one remarked that Brown
was almost as dead as Easley politi-
cally at least, and Senator Sulzer
Eiggled He was promptly called to
order and the would-be jokster was
assessed a fine Of two beers.
Then a special declaring that Trel- !
ford's administration of the prison
was nothing less than a seven day
or a seven months wonder rather
next came from the versatile pen of !
the democratic editor. II was decid- |
ed that it was all right as TrelfOrd ]
was going back TO Kansas anyhow. !
