Great and Grievous
Error in Number
Cars Coal
At THE PEN|TEN1|ARY
One Hundred Meant Instead
of Two Hundred as
Printed.

Mistakes will happen in the best
regulated families and in the best,
fairest and most progressive newspa-
perS In the land, and once in a
while such occur in the columns OF
the New Mexican. When these hap
pen and they are called to the atten-
ton OF this paper it's first duty is to
correct them and put matters straight.
This is in marked contrast for in
stance with the course pursued by
Manager Danny Macpherson of the
Albuquerque Morning Coyote Jour
nal, which sheet and it's correspond
ents and mud-slinging writer's or
"ather scribblers on the editorial staff
continually and continuously prints
fake stories, lbels, and malicious lies
The case in point is an error which
occurred i'll the leading article printed
yesterday on the first page OF the
New Mexican under the heading
"Trelford Tells Fairy Story About
Prison Funds"
The New Mexican owes and hereby
extends most humble apologies to ex-
Governor Hagerman, eX-Superintend-
ent Trelford eX.Expert Mcmahon, ex-
Gentleman Danny and the others for
an error in its issue of Wednesday
which can be described only as great,
grave, gross, gratuitous and grotesque.
In making some casual references to
that $4,000 worth of coal on hand
at the penitentiary the typos or the
typist Inadvertently" got mixed, and
described this amount Of coal as 10
train loads of 20 cars each. Now
any school boy knows that the item
should have read 5 train loads of &c
I cars. sdch, or 20 train loads OF j
cars each, or train loads of 50 cars
each, or 4 train loads of 25 cars each
or 10 train loads of 10 cars each. OF
in brief, 100 cars of coal.
Having thus apologlzed, courteously
frankly, fully, carefully, and specifical-
ly, item by item, this paper trusts that
explanations will be made to the tax
payers as to the exact whereabouts
of that $4,000 worth of coal on hand, >
and OF those vouchers for the Cover
nor's contingent fund with the $3,750
worth of tax payers money which
they represent and of the original OF
that Mcmahon report. All, yes. Beg
padon once more, that was the docu
ment which Inadvertently got mixed
But without wishing or intending
to ask any embarrassing questions,
it would be interesting to know what
reason could be given for carrying
off SO many official papers which
properly belong in the files of the
| executive Office, and leaving behind
| that mailing list of the Democratic
Central Committee and Precinct Chair
men, 1906" Curious sort of docu
ment, that, to have been in use during
| election time by a so-called Republi
| can Governor, wasn't it, really.

Mikado's Ambassador to
Hague Says Both Nations
are in Perfect Accord.

New York, July 11.--Keiroku Tzllzu
XII, leading Japanese statesman OF
cabinet rank and ambassador pleni'
potentiary of his country to The
Hague conference, is quoted in Her
aid cable dispatch today as saying:
"Of all the countries of the world
the United States is the very last
Japan seeks any trouble with. The
United States has been our best
friend. The understanding between our
respective governments is perfect. So
ii is, most firmly believe, between
t!e intelligent people of both coun.
tries"
Discussing the question regarding
the standing of the American fleet to
Pacific waters Tzuzuki said:
Il say without hesitation that ia
pan would look upon the cruise with
the idea that no better time than the
present could be chosen, just when the
two governments are in most perfect
accord"
Admiral Shimamura, who was with
the ambassador when the statement
was made, conceded entirely with
Tzuzuki's views.

Toxic, July 1.-THE massing of the

| fic ocean about which the American
papers have appealed to Marquis ltc
for an opinion, is semi-officially dis
cussed by Ito's administration paper
today. 1t says:
I'VE cannot help feeling some mis-

of the intended massing of the Ameri
can battleships in the Pacific, e.s;pe
cially in view Of the grandiose an
nouncement attributed to President
Roosevelt to the effect that the navy
would furnish the world with start

sive capacity. 1t is difficult for us to
accept the assurance that the coming
maneuvers do not possess any con
| nection whatever with the Japanese
American situation. We regret that
! Washington thinks it necessary to
take what resembles precautionary
measure, However, we are not dis
posed to attach any serious import
ance to this matter and have no incli
nation to doubt the Presidents sin
cerity in assuring peaceful nature
OF the proposed maneuvers. Neither
have we the slightest doubt Of the
friendly sentiments of the American
government. The people whom the
Japanese government blame for the
rabid utterances are the irresponsible
sections Of both nations.
Ito declined to enter into any dis
cussion regarding the sensational agi
tation of the press His sole comment
on the probability of the war is;
There is no feeling in my heart fol

MAKE AN APPEAL.
Deputy Fire Marshals and Fire In
spectors Want RECOGNITION.

In view of the fact that the act of Con-
gress passed last June for the reorganiza-
ton of the local fire department made no
provisions for pensions for the deputy fire
marshal and the two fire inspectors, these
officials have appealed to the Commits
sioners to learn if it was the Intention of
Congress to cut them off from any benefits
of the hremens death and relief fund and
to otherwise have the matter Strengthened
out The officers affected are Deputy Mar
shall l.. V. Sieb and Inspectors NJ. G. Metz
and C.. C. Achstetter. They declare that
nasmuch they have been contributing
the necessary 81 month an assessment
for the relief fund for a number of years
they should be entitled to some benefits.
Corporation Counsel Thomas, to whom
the matter has been referred. reported to-
day that he believes that although 1t was
not the intention of Congress to exclude
these officers from the benefits of the relief
fund certain legislation is needed on the
subject. and recommended that Controller
Traceweu of the Treasury Department be
requested TO give an opinion upon the sub
ject, inasmuch as the question of paying
out money is Involved.

MIR. FORAKER PERSISTS
That the Men Accused Have a
Hearing.

The Presidents Brownsville message, ac-
companied by a box neatly wrapped and
tied with red tape. containing cartridges and
shells as exhibits in the case, was received
by the Senate today The message was
read Immediately. after its receipt and was
attentively listened to. The exhibit was not
opened, however, but remained on the desk
of the Vice President. At the conclusion
of the reading Mr.. Foraker requested that
1t be printed with the accompanying ex-
hibits.
MIR. Lodge expressed desire that the
message and evidence be printed in the
Record, commenting that there was no
way so successfully to conceal information
as to print II as a document. but he recog-
nized that In the present instance the ex-
hibits were too long.
Mr.. Foraker, saying he was not going to
make q speech, but a few remarks, OBJ
served that the testimony amounts to q
great deal, "for the President tells US 1t Is
consciusve." But It does not remove the
objection 1 have had from the beginning Of
what have been trying to contend for
and l hope 1 will be successful, is to Sc
cure hearing for the man charged with
this serious crime.
.This testimony has been taken as the
other was, behind closed doors, without
anybody representing the men.
"That is the reason l shall not desist,
Notwithstanding what the President has
said as to the character of it, from pressing
for an investigation Of the subject where
especially the men who are charged with
the crimes of murder, perjury and conspir-
acy can be heard to the end that If they
can establish any facts In their favor they
may have an opportunity TO do so.
Mr.. Foraker added that he should re-
serve his discussion Of the new evidence
submitted by the President until after the
investigation, IF we shall order one," to
be made In accordance with the spirit Of
American institutions. where every man.
no matter how humble he may be, shall
have an opportunity to be heard
After that investigation, Mr.. Foraker
said, he should have something to say
about the present testimony.
Later Mr. Foraker went to the clerks
desk and unwrapped the package and took
from the cigar box for thorough inspec-
ton OF the bullets and shells the President
had sent

PREcIADO'S EVIDENCE
COPY OF MEMORANDUM BEFORE
THE GRAND JURY.

This morning Secretary TAFT sent TO the

additional to the evidence In the testimony
in the Brownsville investigation:
Ny Dear Mr.. President:
In my letter transmitting the additional
evidence in the Brownsville case Il had oc-
casion to comment on the circumstances
which impaired the weight to be given to
the evidence of Pauline Preciado. In which
he stated that he saw the four or five men
who killed the barkeeper, and recognized
them as negro soldiers, admitting, on ex-
animation that he had not made such a
statement before. explaining 1t by saying
that he was not asked. Since sending you
the evidence and my letter of transmittal. l
have come across what purports to be, and
what l believe to be copy of report OF
Preciado's evidence before the grand jury.
which expressly contradicts and impeaches
his evidence upon this point ask that this
be forwarded to the Senate with your mes
sage and the other papers. Very respect
fully, VIM. III. TAFT,
