Statehood Legislation DELAYED.

Washington. - Under a decision
reached by House and Senate leaders
that there will be no statehood legis
lation for Neww Mexico during the
first session Of the SiNtieth Congress,
arrangements have been made with
Speaker Cannon and Chairman Ham

the Senate committee approves, to
have members of both Senate and
House committees visit New Mexico
Turing the coming recess of Congress
for the purpose of making a complete
examination and report.
1t is suggested by the New Mexico
delegation that the visiting committee

AN ADVERTISING TRICK FOF
WESTERN FARMERS.
Real Estate Agents" Go After
Men with Land for Sale and
Reap Rich Harvest.

A smooth scheme for separating
farmers from their money has been
worked with much success in South
Dakota. An oily CRATER calls on a
farmer and makes bid for his land.
The figures are absurdly low at first.
but by degrees are raised as high as
$50 an acre, and the farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he is
only an agent, but that he can sell the
land at the price named II the owner
will agree to pay for advertising at
the rate Of fifty cents an acre. The
agent promises orally that the ad-
vertising money will not be payable
until the land is sold, but this stipula-
ton is not contained in contract
that the farmer signs.
In few days he receives a copy Of
an ad and not over-courteous demand
for money. 1t is said that twenty
two agriculturists were caught with
this bait in Brown County and that
one of them gave up $500. Others de-
clare hotly that they will not pay but
they will make fight in the courts.

HAD LISTENED TO DADDY.
Force Of Example Exemplified in Pre-
cocious Younsster.

There is a certain man living not
far from New York whose temper is
not of the longest. and when he feels
that his rage is justitiable he is very
apt to indulge in fluent. versatile and
varied profanity.
And it is when using the telephone
that this talent of his is seen and
heard at its maximum of speed and
endurance. Central has but to say

swer." to evoke a flood of language.
One day he had been having an un-
usually stormy session. and did not
notice that his two-year-old son was
sitting in corner of the room, his
face rapt and absorbed. A few hours
later the child's mother came in and
was Mortified beyond words to hear
her baby giving voice to a stream of
eXpletives. some of which began with
a very large caIital D-the rest with
a variety OF letters quite unmentiOn-

upon him in righteous wrath.

uncertain tones.

Death Of Colonel FreeIands.

Denver-A Philadelphia dispatch
Monday night says: Col. Francis T.
Freeland, noted mining and civil en-
gineer, globe trotter and mine owner
of Colorado, who formerly lived here.
was found dead in his apartment at
the Colonnade hotel this afternoon.
Death is supposed to have been caused
by stroke Of apoplexy. The sudden
end of Colonel Freeland Is similar in
nearly every detail to the deaths of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas NJ.
Freeland, who resided here, each dy-
ing suddenly from a stroke Of apo
plexy.
Francis T. Freeland was In charge
OF the Isabella company's properties

1895 to early in 1898, when he returned
to Aspen to look after the Hagerman
properties in that camp. He had been

London Olympic Games.

London.-Good progress has been
made with the preparations for the
London Olympic games, which promise
to be the greatest athletic gathering
the world has ever seen. 1t is officially
stated there will be in all probability
more than 5000 athletes in competi-
ton, including very large contingents
from America, where Capt. F. Whit
worth Jones, the assistant secretary
Of the British Olympic Association,
says matters have been most enthusi-
astically taken up.
The British Olympic Association has
to rely on its own exertions to raise
large sums necessary to finance the
project, as 1t receives no assistance in
this respect from the government and
Is, therefore, at disadvantage with
other countries that have held the
games previously.

Bryan's Running Mate.

Washington.-W. ]. Bryan held an
impromptu reception in the rooms OF
the house committee on ways and
means, where a number of Democratic
representatives and many outsiders
chatted with him.
Asked by someone to name his
choice for running mate in the event
of his nomination at Denver, Mr..
Bryan laughingly replied:
Il shan't tell. That is too bold a
question"
To the newspaper men he said:
you may say that my coming to
Washington was not to consult any
man or set Of men as to whether
ought to be candidate for the NOM
nation. have not put that question
to any men, nor shall I. The people,
not individuals. have the sole right to
decide that point. / am not here to
solicit support for myself as pos
sible presidential candidate. I never
solicit individual support. never ask
any man to vote for me. In the past
when 1 was before the people as can
didate, my efforts to obtain votes have
been confined to statements Of my

Suit Against State Treasurer.

Denver-In order to force State Aud
itor StaLler and State Treasurer Bent
to turn over to them that portion of the
appropriations made for the various
state schools by the last Legislature,
remaining unpaid, a petition has been
fled in the District Court at Denver by
the governing boards Of the State
School Of Mines. State Normal school.
Colorado School for the Deaf and
Blind, Agricultural College and the
State University, asking an alternative
writ Of mandamus for that purpose.
The boards will hold that tho
payment Of the Stratton inheritance
tax Is sufficient to supply money
for all the appropriations and Mr.. Bent
believes that this money does not go
into the general appropriation fund.
The question will now be decided by
the courts.
The appropriations made by the Leg.
islature were as follows: School of
Mines, natatorium and gymnasium,
$4,000; Normal school, for finishing
library, 100000: Deaf and and Blind.
for balance due on new administration

$4,000; Agricultural college, for expert
ment station, $4,000, and University

One-half Of each amount is still due

WORKING OF
PENSION ACT
HAS INCREASED PENSION LIST
LESS THAN SEVEN
THOUSAND.
IN EFFECT ONE YEAR
NEW APPLICATION Is NECESSARY
FOR EACH AGE
INCREASE.

Washington.-When the service pen.
sion act was passed last February
there was much speculation as to what
its effect would be in placing upon the
pension rolls the names of soldiers and
sailors who heretofore had never
made application. The officials of the
pension Office were of the opinion that
there would be as many as 100000 ap-
plications from members of the So
called unknown army" Few persons
thought the number would be less
than $4,000.
The service pension act became ef.
fective February 9Th last The first
pension certificates under it were Is.
sued eight days later. Up to the first
of the present year 2S2,S59 certificates
granting pensions under this act had
been issued. The total number Of GER
tificates issued under all other laws
last year was 60.S79 Only 6,SG1 new
names are on the pension rolls at this
time as result of the legislation OF
February.
About 100000 applications for pen.
sions under the service law-most of
them being from men now on the rolls
who desire to take advantage of the
higher rating afforded by the legisla-
tlon OF last February-arc pending in
the pension Office. Many of these
cases have been delayed by reason Of
the discrepancy as to the age of the
applicant shown in the application and
the age shown by the records of the
War Department.
Fifty applications for pensions un.
der tho service law were filed the day
the act went into effect. The follow.
ing day more than 100 applications
were received, and in the two or three
weeks following 1000 applications
daily were not unusual.
The service pension law provides
for the allowance Of a pension of $12
a month to soldiers between the age
of sixty-two and seventy years who
served ninety days; a pension OF SIS
month to soldiers between the age of
seventy and seventy-fve years, and a
pension Of $40 to soldiers over seventy
five years.
In the last few weeks many sena-
tors and representatives have been
asked by pensioners whether it will
be necessary for them to make new
applications when they reach the pe-
riod Of life which names them to re-
ceive a higher rating. For instance,
a soldier sixty.nine years old, and pen
stoned at $12, would be entitled to a
rating Of SIS on his next birthday.
The commissioner of pensions holds
that in cases Of this kind the pensioner
must file new application. He says 1t
is impossible for the pension office to
keep a birthday book" AS all pen
sions under the service law date from
the day of allowance, applicants will
suffer- no financial loss by reason of
this regulation, provided they make
their application the day they reach
an age that entities them to a higher
rating.

Fort Collins Sugar Season.

Denver.-A Fort Collins dispatch
says: At /: so o'clock Sunday morning
the last Of the beet crop Of 1907.
grown in this district for the local
sugar factory, was run through the
slicers, thus practically ending the
sugar making campaign which opened
September 10Th. A few days will be
required to convert the juice on hand
into sugar, and when this is done the
factory will close until next fall. Dur
ing the campaign of 130 days the fac
tory sliced more than 100000 tons of
beets. including between 1900 and
$4,000 tons raised in the Loveland and
Longmont districts, and not day was
lost during the campaign on any &C.
count, or for any reason, and not Sc
rious accident occurred from the time
of starting up the machinery until it
was ready to close down Sunday. The
campaign has been the most success
full and the most satisfactory all around
in the history Of the local factory.

Collecting in New Hampshire.

A New Hampshire man tells OF a
tight-tisted man of affairs in town
of that state. who until recently had
never been observed to take an inter-
est in church matters. Suddenly, how
ever, he became a regular attendant

astonishment of his fellow towns

ness men of the place to a friend. rs

RAILWAY SUIT BEGUN,
Attorney General Strikes at HarrIman's
Great Railway Combine.

INSTRUMENTATION General Bon
aparte Saturday directed that bill in
equity be filed to set aside the control
by the Union Pacific Railway Company
and Its subsidiary corporations OF the
Southern Pacific and the San Pedro,
Los Angeles L. Salt Lake roads; also to
have declared illegal the ownership by
the Union Pacific or the Oregon Short
Line of stock In the Santa, the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific, all of
said lines being competitors of the
Union Pacific.
The attorney general issued an Of
hcfal statement to this effect which,
after referring to the extensive in
vestigation by the interstate commerce
commission into the relations existing
between the various lines of roads ell
gagged in transcOntinental traffic, says:
From the evidence SO far adduced
and from Independent investigation the
department has arrived at the conclu-
sion that the stock holding of the
Union Pacific and its subsidiary com
pany in the other corporations men
toned above is in direct violation of
the Sherman act.
THE department regards the suit
rs Of first importance, as 1t is sought
by means thereof to break up sub
stantial monopoly of the transportation
business OF the country between the
Missouri river on the east and the en-
ire Pacific coast south of Portland on
the west.
aside from the railway companies
above named, the other defendants in
the suit are the Farmers Loan and
Trust Company OF New York, which is
the depository Of all the stock of the
San Pedro road Tnder a contract by
which it is required to give proxies
10 such persons as may be named by
Mr.. Hartman and Mr.. Clark for a Pc
rtod of years. There are also the fol
lowing individual defendants COM
planned OF, to-wit: E. H. Hartman, ia
cob H. Schiff, Otto H. Kahn. James
stillman, Henry C. Frick, Henry II.
Rogers and William A. Clark"
While naming the individual defen-
aants, the statement makes no mention
Of any intention to prosecute any Of
these officials personally in any Grim
lnal proceedings.
The attorney general has engaged as
special assistants for the purse of this
litigation Messrs. Frank B. Kellogg and
Cordence A. Severance of ST. Paul
who acted as counsel for the Interstate
Commerce Commission In the investi
cation above referred to.
