The News feels that it's readers would
like to krow something of the life ofour
candidate for delegate to congress, the
Hon. Edward A. mar, and with this
end in view we present the following
brief outline of his life to the present time
Edward A. Mann was born IN Beatrice
Nebraska, March L., 1867, living there
and al other points in eastern Nebraska
until the year 1877, when, with his par.
ents, he removed to Texas. In this great
state he settled in Eastland county
where he lived for some time, later going
10 Eastland City after his father receiv.
ed the appointment as postmaster for
that place During this time his father
owned and operated a ranch at Bear
! Springs, as the place was known about
nine miles south of Eastland. Here our
embryo delegate followed the usual tenor
of his way as his parents instructed,
doing bis full share of the usual work to
be done on a ranch in new and growing
country. Before leaving Nebraska he
had attended the public schools, and
after his arrival in the Lone Star state
he spent considerable of his school years
in Blaine College at Bell Plaine. After
number of years residence in Texas, his
father sold out his holdings, or most
OF them, and again turned his face to-
ward the north and his former home in
Nebraska. On this return trip our next
delegate to congress drove bnnch of
horses through, aud his "reminiscences
ofths trip are many and varied, and are
told in his own inimitable way. This was
in the year 1886. In the summer of 1850

nature in her visible forms.
He assisted his father in the construct
ion of sod house and barn, and while he
was enjoying periodical moments of re-
axatiou, he amused himself by break

ambitious, he "hired out" to neighber-
ing farmers and stockmen, when not
needed on Il fathers farm, and with
these he indulgsd in the pastoral pas
time of husking corn and laying brands
on rebellious yearlings, breaking the
monotony with juvenile stunts at spell
ing schools and in an effort to harness
| the wisdom of Blackstone. Later he en-
tered the law office of l.. H. Thomp son
at Norton, Kansas, where, until 1891, be
continued his law study, wrote insurance
and devoted some attention to real estate
transactions and the abstract business
Then he passed the ordeal of the bar ex-
animation, came out with laurels upon
his young brow aud Immediately enter

1902 when he came to New Mexico. This
move was made on account Of theMrs.
Mann's health. He Immediately plung-

the department and an earnest request

came from every locality in which Mr..
Mann had lived. They were strong, and
the appointment has proved one of the
best the territory has ever had, as Judge
Mann is be,oved on the bench for his fair

Suicide Pact Revealed In Chi
CdgO Institution by Death
of An Inmate.
FEARED BANKRUPTCY
WOULD END HOME

Chicago, March 20.-A suicide
pact involving probably a dozen in
mates of the Bethresda home for the
aged is believed to have been reveal
ed by the death of John Koch who
died yesterday by his own hand, af-
ter ridiculing John HaZelbach, who
failed in his attempt at self destruc-
ton.
The supposed motive is the bank
ruptcy Of the home, n private institu-
ton into which many old folks,
friendless and alone in the world,
had placed the savings Of a lifetime
expecting to be cared for till death.
As a result of the bankruptcy the
aged inmates are face to face with
destitution.
Koch, who was 6s years old paid
5000 to the home and others of the
twenty-one inmates paid the instltu-
ton as high as $4,000 each.
Mrs. Emma Bauch, one of the su-
pervisors of the home, predicts a
number of additional suicides, al
though she dissuaded three who had
avowed such purpose.

Calling for Investigation Of
State Office Who Is Charged
With Giving Fat Jobs to
His FavOrIteS.

Albany, n. Y, March 20.-In the
legislature today Senator Martin SAKE
OF New York introduced a concurrent
resolution providing for a legislative
Investigation of the conduct of the
office of the attorney general of the
state during the administration Of the
present incumbent w. S. jackson, of
Buffalo, especially with reference to
receiverships of banks and trust COM
panies. Mr. Jackson was elected on
the Democratic ic-Independence league
ticket in November, 1906, and has
been in office since January l, 1907.
The general impression about the
capitol is that the resolution will be
adopted and the inquiry will be in
stltuted
The essential paragraph Of the res
olution recites that during the recent
panic a large number of financial in
stitutions in New York City were
compelled to suspend and that Il mas
since been widely charged that the Of
fices of the attorney general have
been used by Mr.. Jackson and his
subordinates and assistants to prevent
resum ption Of solvent banks and trust
companies; that he has procured the
appointment of political favorites as
receivers for such institutions, and
that by corrupt practices in the at
torney generals office the present fl
nancial depression and distress have
been prolonged.
Senator SAKE said today that he in
troduced the resolution at the in
stance of certain bankers in New
York City whose names he might
given later, but that it represented
| his own views.
