DOUBLE MURDER
DUE TO WEDDING
SON STAYS HIS MOTHER, THEN
HIMSELF
SECRET MARRIAGE LEADS TO
TWO TRAGEDIES
New York Broker Believed to Have
Committed Crime Because of
Parents Anger at the
Alliance
by Associated Press.1

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The revelation
by son to his mother of a secret mar
riage and parental refusal to be recon-
ciled to it is believed to have been the
cause of double tragedy in a large up
town apartment house today.
The victims were Mrs. Rebecca Veit
a wealthy widow, and her only son, j.
Nelson Veit, a Wall street broker.
The circumstances of the affair in
dicate the mother was shot by the son,
and the latter then took his life by in
haling Illuminating gas.
The bodies were discovered today.
Mrs. Vett lay dead on her bed with bull
let wounds in head and body, and her
son was found on the floor of the bath
room in his mothers apartment, as
phyXiated.
An aunt of the suicide. Miss Anna
Veit, found the bodies when she sought
to awaken Mrs. Veit, in whose apart
ment she had spent the night.
Dinner Precedes Tragedy
J. Nelson Veit, q years old, went to
his mothers apartments last night and
dined with his mother and Miss Anna
Neit. Miss Veit said today Veit used
the telephone to talk with some one in
the city during the evening, and finally
left to watch the election returns. The
two women talked together for some
time afterward and then retired for
the night in separate rooms.
Veit evidently returned to the apart
ment some time during the night but
no one has been found who saw him
enter.
The police made the discovery that
Veit was married secretly in October
last year. His mother who spends
several months each year in Europe,
had returned only recently from
France.
The coroner's theory is that informa-
tion concerning her sons marriage pre-
cipitated the tragedy.
Mrs. j. Nelson Veit, widow of the
dead man, was found today in another
uptown apartment house, where she
had been living with Welt for a month.
Mrs. Veit said she had not met her
husbands mother and did not know
whether the mother had ever been told
of the marriage.

LAYS HANDS ON
THE AFFLICTED
REV. BAKER P. LEE PRAYS
OVER THE AMOUNTED
EMMANUEL MOVEMENT TREATED
OF IN LECTURE
Rector of ST. PauPs Pro-cathedraI
Delivers Address Explanatory of
the Doctrine of the SUBJ
conscious Mind

The second meeting for the healing
of the sick was held last night at
Christ Episcopal church when the
olden time custom of the laying on OF
hands and amounting was practiced on
the SICK the halt, the lame and the
blind.
The service was in the Sunday
school room of the church and was
largely attended. Rev. Baker p. Lee,
the rector and head of the movement
for going back TO ancient principles,
made an address, as did also Rev. Mr.
Patterson of Detroit.
Following the addresses it was stated
that anyone desiring prayers and
amounting might go forward for the
ceremony of the laying on of hands
Many did so. Rev. Mr.. Lee made a
short prayer as he anointed each, re-
ferring to the ills of human nature
and divine power.
The whole meeting had decidedly
spiritual atmosphere and the congre-
cation was much impressed by the
solemnity of the occasion.
THE Sub Conscious Mind" was the
subject treated by Rev. William Mac
Cormack, dean and rector of st. PauPs
pro-cathedral, last night in his lecture
on the EmnRnuel movement. He con-

phenomenon of memory. If a person
were to endeavor to write down his
entire knowledge the bulk of it would
be very small, he said. The rest is
contained In the sub conscious mind.
The speaker explained that the power
of the sub conscious mind is mani
tested in a child at play, at which he
will work hard. 1t is his sub conscious
mind that then is working and he is
drawing on the reservoir of sub CON
scious power. On the other hand,
when he is moving the lawn he is
working with his conscious mind. The
relation of the conscious to the sub
conscious is as one-fifth to four-fifths
just as with the iceberg-the greater
part is below the water.

Z. A. Larrazolo, Our Next Delegate to Congress

months from now, on the first day
Y~ukon-Pacific Exposition at Seattle
will be thrown open to the public.
For foul months and a half the first
great Pacific Worlds Fair will re-
ceive visitors from all parts of the
globe. If the visitor ONE on the
last day, or in August or on the open
ing day, he or she will find things
the same. It is the intention of the
officials of this Exposition to break
all exposition records, to establish a
in readiness on the opening day. The
slogan of the enterprise is just that,
Ready on the Opening day" The
people of Seattle and the Pacific
Northwest are accustomed to doing
things and they will do this with
characteristic promptness and ener-
! gy. A month ago the gates of the ex-
position we're closed to free admis-
sion. The day was celebrated by a
vast meeting of the stockholders held
I'll IN StSpS III thS hoSS
| ers Building. The director general
presented figures showing that the
exposition was more han 70 per cent
complete and that the remaining
work was of such character that it
could be rushed to the fina state in
a. few months. To make doubly sure
the director of exhibits has instruct
ed all exhibitors that goods will be
received any time after March 1st of
next year, and that everything must
be in place WI weeks before the Off
cial opening.A This certainly looks as
if the promises would be realized.
Three of the great permanent bull
dings which will be turned over to
the University of Washington at the
end OF the fair are finished. A fourth
will be completed by January LIST. The
two main exhibit palaces, the Manu-
features and Agriculture buildings,
have been finished for several months
The Mining Palace and the Fisheries
building, the Hospital and the fire
station have been in use for months.
Inc power plant is ready to start up.
Oregon finished her palatia1 building
in September and entertained the
Travelling Passenger Agents who met
in Seattle during that month. Califor-
MIA, which will have n of the larg-
est buildings on the grounds, will IN
nounce her building completed by
January LIST. The Washington State
building, which will be permanent,
is going up rapidly. Contracts have
been let with a time limit of Febru-
airy for the Arctic Brotherhood, For
estry and Women's buildings. The
United States government has it's
plans ready and the commissioners
will let the contracts within ten days
and the buildings must be ready two
months before the opening.

NASTY
MIXTURE

Did Ex-Governor Otero take a bride
of five thousand dollars? It is charg-
ed that he did, N also thai James
S. Sherman, Republican candidate for
Vice President is mixed up in the
scandal.
The tale is given out by one Ed
mund Burke, Of Los Angeles, who
charges hat he, Sherman and two
other parties were concerned in a
deal to secure possession of 100000
acres OF timber lands in New Mexico
for one-tenth of their real value. They
were to secure the lands by bribing
the New Mexico land board, which
then consisted of Governor Otero and
"A. A. Keen, the land commissioner.
Otero, he claims, was paid $4,000 in
a copy of a letter he wrote to Sher-
man giving the details of the trans
action, including the bribing and also
a letter in reply from Sherman.
Arizona and, Burke claims, the deal
was made with the officials in New
Mexico by which an option was Sc
cured On the lands. Congress was to
legalize the deed, but when the at
tempt was made it was blocked by
Senator Patterson. OF Colorado, a
Democrat.
The Denver News summarizes the
story as follows:
These charges are as follows:
First That in 1901 Mr.. Sherman,
with E. L. Philip, lobbyist for the
brewery interests of Milwaukee,; Hen
ry Casson, sergeant-at-arms OF the
present house of representatives, and
Edmund Burke formed the New Mex
leo Lumber and Development compa-
ny, for the purpose of securing by
fraudulent means the timber lands
owned by the territory of New Mex
leo. Mr.. Sherman was made general
attorney for the company.
Second That they did secure an
option~on $780, 900 acres of timber land
at So per acre, rather less than 10 per
cent of dts value. This was all the
timber land at the disposal of the
Territorial Land Board.
Third That the company got this
favor by bribing the territorial off,
cials who constituted the New Mexi-
co Land Board. Governor Otero, head
of the board. got $1,000 in a draft
which went through a Pueblo bank,
Solicitor General Bartlett got $500 In
cash, and Superintendent of Lands
A. A. Keen got the same amount in
the form of a draft on Philadelphia.
Mr.. Burke did the work O. bribing
for the company.
Fourth That the New Mexico
Lsnd Board, In return for these sums
paid its members, not : only granted
the option. but printed several thous-
and blank applications for land in a
form to aid he windle. The law ixed
the mount which could be sold to
any individual at 100 acres. These
applications each asked for that, the
maximum amount; and ON the back

THIS CERTAINLY WOULD BE
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

Albuquerque Daily Democrat.
1t has been suggested that Mr.. Will
lam H. Andrews and Mr.. o. A. LARA
get a clear idea of the issues by hold
ing a joint debate.
This is a most excellent suggestion.
There would, perhaps, be nothing
which would prove more enlighten-
ing to the voters than to nave Mr..
Andrews get up in plain sight and tell
the dear people of New Mexico what
he has done for them, and what he
intends to do for them.
Mr.. Larrazolo might, perhaps, ask
a few questions which could be IN
sWered probably with ease by Mr.. An
drews, and thus relieve the suspense
of the voters.
Now, for instance, Mr.. Larrazolo
might ask his distinguished Pennsyl-
vania opponent to explain whether or
not there is any truth in the mali
cious stories" of ballot frauds at the
las election. Mr.. Larrazolo could pro-
duce the sworn statements of some
dozens of citizens that intimidation,
ballot box stuffing, repeating, alphabet
ical voting n SO forth, were employ
ed to steal his election from him in
1906.
Mr.. Andrews could, doubtless very
easily refute these stories and it
would be such a satisfaction to the
voters to know that it is all a pack
of "canards." The only reason, prob
ably, that Mr.. Andrews has never ia
ken occasion to deny these venom
Gus les is because he hasn't had a
chance.
Mr.. Larrazolo, again, might ask the
delegate whether Or not it is true that
B.. S. Rodey secured the Federal bull
ding for Albuquerque. He might re-
quest information about whether the
congress Of the United States Or Mr..
Andrews grants pensions to the old
whether or not the Santa Fe New
Mexican, his personal organ, started
the race issue by calling Larrazolo
the Noble Spaniard."
Mr.. Larrazolo could inquire if there
is really any truth in the report that
Mr.. Andrews had any assistance in
securing those phenomenal a~ppropria-
tions. He could ask Mr.. Andrews if
it is true that Mr.. Ferguson secured
a bunch of appropriations that makes
tho krJ-ouy- Lo-s-- lott I;Jv~
two-spot.
Mr.. Larrazo1o could easily request
as to the exact place and
date, where hi when he referred to
"~despised gringoes," as alleged by
the Andrews press.
This would be especially interesting
to voters.
So far Mr.. Andrews has not told
where Or when it was. Undoubtedly
he could supply the missing data.
Mr.. Larrazolo might ask further if
Mr.. Andrews really built a railroad
Albuquerque and into Roswell.
might make a query as to whether
Mr.. Andrews really had anything to
~ LII uASCdlIAS 1OfSIHOT hdSci-
man.
There's nothing to 1t, that joint de-
bate Is an inspiration. It would be so
to the voters to have Mr..
Andrews stand up and tell Mr.. LARA
colo the real truth about these inter
matters.
And, oh res, Oh course Mr.. Andrews
could tell Mr. Larrazolo the reason
he hasn't got statehood for New Mexf-
90 after foul years of his wonderful
pull.
BY all means let us have the joint
1ebate.

of each application was printed a
power of attorney to the New Mexico
Lumber and Development Company,
making that company the agent of
the person applying for the land. The
original plan, according to Burke,
was to have these applications sign
ed by the employees in the Milwau-
kee breweries, and then turned over
to the company.
Fifth That this plan of having
dummy entrymen was abandoned as
too dangerous, and the members of
tive authority for their scheme. This
step was taken On the advice of U.
S. Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin.
Sixth That James S. Sherman,
attorney for the company, member
Of the house of representatives, and
chairman of the committee on Indian
affairs, drew house bill No. 1902, can
Act to Amend An Act Entitled An
Act to Make Certain Grants of Land
il the Territory of New Mexico, and
" ObhC1 L IL pooSo' LII bAA, - 49,
troduced in the house, allowed the
territory to sell land in blocks of
%, 900 acres each-and put no limita-
tion on the minimum price of lands.
Seventh-That the bill passed the
house of representatives, and was
sent to the senate; but was defeated
in the senate through the opposition
of Senator T. M. Patterson Of Colo
RADIO.
Eighth That the activities of
Burns and Heney in prosecuting and
Investigating land frauds caused the
whole scheme to be abandoned, and
sent Mr.. Burke himself to a years
retirement in Europe. Mr.. Sherman
stayed in congress-.
There is the story, boiled down for
easy reading. 1t was told by Burke,
n of the gang, and told under oath.
Corroborative evidence is abundant,
known that Mr.. James S. Sherman
was n of the incorporators of the
company. 1t is known that he vas
the general attorney of the company.
The option on the timber land was
granted to this company, and the
price named in the option is sure
proof of fraud somewhere. House Bill
No. 1862 was introduced, it carried
the provisions named above, it slip
ped through the house with Sher-
mans aid, and it failed in the senate
as already told. These things are GER
tainties. With so many pieces of in
dependent evidence ~corroborating
Burke's story, one must be skeptical
indeed who doubts that the gentle
a. has told the truth.
