PETITIONS COURT
FOR AN ACCOUNTING
Territorial Auditor w. G. Sargent
Files Suit Against Territory
Through Attorney Renehan.
Held Own With Cavalry.

Having failed to secure the passage
Of bill introduced by himself in the
recent Legislative Assembly proyid-
ing for the settlement of certain ac
counts relative to contingent eX-
penses in his office, Territorial Aud
|itor w. G. Sargent has filed petit
ton in the district court of Santa Fe
County praying for an adjustment OF
the accounts in question. Attorney
A. B. Renehan has been retained as
counsel for the petitioner.
The petition recites that the act OF
the Legislative Assembly approved
March 1G, 1905, entitled "An act pro-
viding funds and making appropria-
tons for the Fifty-seventh and fifty
eighth fiscal years and for other pur-
poses, contained among other appro-
priations the following: For postage
express, printing, blanks and incl
dentals, the auditor is herby allowed
ST ,O00."
i
appropriations were for the purpose
first to enable him to procure and pay
for such of the particular items men
toned as he might need in his office
and that the residue as might exist
from time to time in the funds thus
established was in the nature OF sal
airy to the auditor. He contends that
former auditors charged with the con
struction of similar statutes have uni
formly interpreted them as he has the
|cne in question, and he prays that
the disputed accounts may be inquired
into and adjusted as the law provles
to make settlement and satisfaction
of any amount which may be properly
ehargeable against him and to that
end he prays that proper orders dl-
rected to the Territory of New Mex,
leo be issued and served upon the at
torney general.

New York, March 30--The Lunacy

Thaw was Immediately called before

able of standing whatever mental tests
were put to him.
Alienist Waiting on Commission.
Dr. Allan Hamilton, the alienist who
was summoned last night by the Com.
mission was waiting when today's in
quiry began. There is much specula-
ton as to the reasons for subpoenaing
Dr. Hamilton. The Commissions ex.
animation will likely be brief as ii is
known that DR.. Hamilton has had no
intimate relationship with the defen.
dant since last July.
Believes Thaw is Paranoiac.
The alienist NAV be asked his reas.
on for stating that Thaw is in un-
sound mind today and then the Com.
mission may place whatever value it
desires on his testimony. DR.. Hamil-
ton believes Thaw is paranoiac.
Thaw on Stand Almost Three Hours.
ThaW was under examination for
two hours and fifty minutes when at
lis p. m. a twenty-five minutes re.
cess was ordered and it was announced
that his ordeal was nearly over After
half an hour further questioning it is
believed the Commission will have con-
cluded their mental tests of the de-
fendant and that there will then be an
open session for the examination OF
DR.. Hamilton. The Commission Is
bending every effort to end its work
this afternoon.
Hamlltons Testimony Barred.

New Mexico is the only State
or Territory in this Union in which
District Attorneys are appointed by
the Executive. The system has been
found so bad, so chuck full of corrup
tion and so strongly in the direction
Of building up one-man power that
every State of the forty-five Of the
Union, and even the Territory of Ari
zona, has discarded it many years ago
It was proposed to leave the election
of these officials to the people, where
it Justly and properly belongs The
statement that had the bill passed il
would have been for the purpose Of
shielding corrupt and dishonest off
cials is absolutely and unqualifiedly
untrue in every particular There
were none such to prosecute as far
as known at this time; two terms Of
court have elapsed since Governor Hag
erman assumed Office and not single
indictment or even information foI
misfeasance or malfeasance in office
has been found or filed.
Next it was proposed to so reduce
the salaries of certain Territorial OF
flcers, notably the attorney general
that men Of large ability could not
be retained to fill the positions. Al
buquerque Fakir.
This is the veriest slush, and Is
shown to be the absolute untruth, OF
a lie, if you please, by the appropria
tions in the finance law. In addition
it should be remembered that up tc

general of the Territory, the late Ed

years, received less than one-half D

1T was proposed to abolish the
mounted police, and thus cut off an
influence for law and order in the
! Territory, because that force had been
able in the course of running down
stock thieves, to put stop to sew
eral other kinds of more disreputable
thievery, Albuquerque Fakir.
This is another absolute and un-
qualified false paragraph The
mounted police was created by the
very men whom they have charged
with endeavoring to abolish it at this
time; they favored it, and in fact,
favored an increase in the force, and
voted for better pay. The items in
the appropriation law fully disprove
the Fakir Journals lies in this in
stance. The mounted police has
done some good service, and it may
do more under proper command.

CHAIRMAN KNAPP HOPEFUL

Prevent Strike---Holding
Final Session.

Chicago. March 80. - Chairman
Knapp of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and Charles p Neill,
United States Labor Commissioners,
arrived here today from Washington
to prefer their good Offices in settling
the wage dispute between the West
ern railroads and the members OF the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
and the Order of Railway Conductors.
Both Sidea Stubborn.
The meeting which opened late this
morning did not begin under highly
lauspicious conditions Grand Chief
Mcrrissey and Grand Conductor Gar
retson were positive in their asser-
tions before the conference that the
men would not abate their demands.
They declared that 1t was not in their
power to accept less than the men
hal asked, for the reason that the
membership of both organizations
had voted on the propositions to be
considered in the meeting, and that
the vote was overwhelming in favor
of a strike unless the demands of the
men wero granted.
Railroads Have Gone Limit.
c. P Brown, chairman of the board
iof managers of the railroads was
equally confident that the railroads
could so no further than they had
already gone and that it was impos
sible for them to make any greater
concessions,

man Knapp said:

The insurgents were able to hold
their own against the troops at close

charges, doing terrible execution with
long pronged hay forks and scythe
blades strapped to long poles but the
slaughter since the troops have begun
using artillery appears to be terrify-

numbers of insurgents have surren-

Another damnable lie. There was
no such proposition ever broached or
thought Of 1t is universally and fully
admitted by every man who knows
anything of the form of this Territor-
ial Government that the Executive has
the right and privilege to make NOM
nations for Territorial office, provid.
ed they are men of the right stamp,

apparent from the very first that a
majority of the members of the Coun-
Gil would receive these nominations
that it would have been absolute and
utter folly for any opposition to har-
Dor such foolish notions as the defeat
of gubernatorial nominations by the

that, with two exceptions, every dis

pointments had such bad records and
