Sherman'S Uniitness.

James S. Sherman, Republican nominee
for Vice President, an Office from which
! five men have stepped into the highest
Office in the nation, entered into con-
| spiracy in 1901 todefraud the Unit. States
governments out of government lands in
New Mexico worth 81, 500, 900 for one-tenth
OF their value He aud his eo-conspirators
attempted first to bride the territorial land
board 80 permit she consumation of their
plans. and paid $500 in cash to Solicitor
General BARTLETT, draft for $500 TO A. A.
Keen. superintendent of lands, and draft
for So, 600 to Governor Otero, the three
members of the board
The land board assisted in the scheme,
| bus, upon the advice of former United
States Senator Spooner, the plan being
worked was abandoned as too dangerous.
Thereupon Mr.. Sherman tried to have a
special law passed by Congress to facilitate
the matter. That bill passed the House, OF
which Mr.. Sherman was member, but
was defeated in the Senate because of the
objections Of Senator Thomas n Patter-
son, Of Colorado.
These facts were set forth in ssaten2ent
occupying two pages in Mondays New
York World By Edmund Burke, one of the
conspirators, who dictated it in Denver a
few weeks ago, though ii seems, be had no
knowledge Of the use to which it was to be
put.
There seems to be no question as to the
conspiracy. The evidence offered by The
WoFld is overwhelming.
James S. Sherman, who was one of four
incorporates of the New Mexico Lumber
and Development Company, the So, 600, 900
corporation by which the people were TO be
looted, was placed on the Republican ma
lonal ticket by Speaker Cannon whose
right hand man he has been in Congress,
with she consent OF Theodore Roosevelt and
William Il. Taft.
Every vote he asks for himself, Mr.. Taft
also asks for Sherman, the man, who, ID d
position OF trust, attempted TO steal large
slice Of the peoples wealth. No vote can
be cast for Taft except il be also cast for
SheI man.
Is James s. Sherman the sort Of man the
people 81 She United States want for Presi-

NO GROUNDS ON WHICH
TO EXTRADITE CASTRO
Leading German Authority on
international Law Says Trea-
ty Does Not Cover Case

BERLIN. Dec. 2s.--Commenting on
the report that Venezuela is likely to
ask Germany to extradite the deposed
president, Castro, Professor Liszt. the
leading authority on International law
in the University of Berlin. said to The
Call correspondent today:
Venezuela can not ask for Castros s
extradition. L know of no grounds to
justify such step Castro's faults
and misdemeanors apparently fall un-
der the category Of political short
comings, which are not covered by the
treaty between Germany and vene-
zuela, which only takes cognizance OF
serious and actual capital crimes.
Castro left Venezuela as the presi-
dent of that country in the plenitude of
power If he is criminal, politically
or otherwise Venezuela's courts should
have taken action or her congress
should have impeached him. This has
not happened.
Germany certainly would not de-
liver him up for any offense that is
known here"

MADMAN MADE SANE

in Hospital, Restores Reason
of George McClusky

BERKELEY. Dec. 2s.-Suffering for
years from intermittent attacks of in
sanity, which baff1ed his physicians,
George McCluskey, a furniture dealer

operation. A section of his skull which
pressed on the brain cells was re-
moved. He is now rational and al
though weak, on the road tc recovery.
DR.. Robert Hector and DR.. L. h Her
rick, who performed the operation OF
trepanning the skull, had considerable
diffculty in determining the cause OF
McCluskey's insane attacks, which were
always accompanied with violence The
broken piece of skull bone was found
imbedded in the brain and the delicate
operation decided upon.
1t was then that Mrs McCIuskey re-
membered that many years ago her
husband had been injured in an acci-
dent in a machine shop. His ribs were
fractured and he sustained other in
juries, from which he rapidly recov-
cred, but no attention was paid to his
skull.
Since then, however, he has been sub
ject to insane attacks. which grew so
violent that he has tried to kill his
wife. Medical aid was sought, but ply
sicians were unable to account for the
strange attacks of madness.
He could not write when so affected
and remembered nothing OF himself or
his life. He was a different man and
his mind was nearly blank He was
feared by his wife and neighbors dur
ing these times. which had during the
last six months increased in their dura-
ton
Christmas eve he suddenly attacked
his wife. She rushed out of the house
and sought the aid of near neighbors,
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Verdi of Eunice
and Spruce streets. Verdi at once sum-
moned a physician and Mrs. McCluskey
ran for an ambulance. leaving Mrs.
Verdi alone in the house with the in
sane man.
He grappled with her AMI when she
overpowered him rushed for butcher
knife. Driven in corner, Mrs. Verdi
fought with the desperation of terror
and succeeded after a long struggle in
wrestling away the knife and hurling
the maniac to the floor.
Neighbors who heard her cries of
help invaded the house and securely
bound McCluskey and he was taken to
the Roosevelt hospital. where he was
placed in strait Jacket
An examination Of his skull was
made and an operation decided upon.
According to the reports at the hospital
