personal canvas of his friends. He
had not finished 1t as the measure
was put upon its passage, but by hard
work he swung twelve more votes to
his assistance and the appropriation
went through by a narrow margin.
I'm glad we got the appropria-
ton" was all Delegate Andrews said.
He Immediately turned his atten-
tion to the public buildings bill. He
is making a desperate fight to secure
an additional appropriation for the
federal building at Albuquerque and
for post office buildings at Roswell
and in other places in New Mexico.
He expects as hard fight upon those
appropriations as he had upon the
$4,000 item for The Irrigation con-
gress, but he expects to win 1t.
The appropriation of 100000 has
no strings" to it. 1t is for the le-
gitimate expenses of tn big event
this fall, and 1t can be expended
by the proper authorities without the
usual red tape. 1t will be OF the

Mexico in taking care of the big con-
gress and the interstate exhibit Such
an APPROPRIATION has never been made
by Congress without government SUI
pervision.

The first news of the passage OF
the appropriation of $4,000 was re-
ceived in Albuquerque in a special
dispatch to The Citizen shortly after
/ o'clock.
Later, several short dispatches
were received by individuals. The
news was received with pleasure on
all sides, both Democrats and Repub-
llcans expressing their admiration OF
the work done by Delegate Andrews.
People rang up The Citizen office
by telephone, inquiring If the report
heard upon the streets was correct,
while a large number Of people called
at the office to read the news dis
patches.
Delegate Andrews cannot be too
highly commended" said "a we'll
known albuquerque merchant, when
he learned that the appropriation had
passed the House. mot only did AL
buquerque secure, through his efforts
a handsome federal building, but this
appropriation of $4,000 for the Ma
tional Irrigation congress was GER
tainly a surprise because no such an
appropriation as that one ever before
that l do not know OF any delegate
We have ever had in Congress, who
could have secured that appreciation
for US"
This statement pretty generally rep
resented the expression Of opinion Of
nearly all the leading business men OF
Albuquerque. when they heard the
news today. Democrats and Repub-
licans. alike, expressed only admira-
tion for the work done by the dele
gate in securing the appropriation.
1t was at first intended to make a
fight for $4,000 and Delegate An
drews succeeded In carrying that item
through the Senate and into the
hands of a conference committee, his
personal friend, Senator Penrose, sue
cessfully championing the bill through
the upper body. 1t was only after
the delegate had exhausted every 9TH
er resource at his command in an
effort TO keep the appreciation at
$4,000 that 1t was cut down 10 500
900. Even then, there was not as
surance that the House would pass
the item even with the conference
report favorable. Despite the fact
that he had been working constantly
for the appropriation for weeks, the
delegate promptly took up the fight
for the $40 900 and through his per-
sonal friendship and Influence with

BANKER KILLS BLACK HAND
Quick GunpIay on Part of Threatened
Man Sends Anarchist to His
Last, Long Home.

New York, March 10. - The zone
best bet of the so-called gun men"
of New York is Pasquale Patti, pro
prietor of a private banking establish
ment.
Patti was behind the counter of his
banking house Saturday afternoon
when two men entered. The taller of
the pair suddenly drew a revolver
rom his pocket, saying:
Pardon; we have come for you.
We will kill you and your wife and
your children. We have told you be-
fore what we would do, and now we
achieve"
Hardly was the first word spoken
when Patti swung an automatic reyol-
yer across the desk and fired. Before
the last CLEAN of fire had disappear
ed the man with the gun beyond the
counter had dropped with seven bullets
in his body, while his partner was
passing down Elizabeth street at a
fast pace.
However, he was seized by the po-
lice and made a prisoner. The bank
er was placed under arrest. He ex-
planned that for years he has been the
recipient of letters demanding tribute,
While only three weeks ago a dyna-
mite bomb was exploded outside of
the door of his bank. and only good
fortune prevented him losing 100000
which he had exposed there to restore
confidence. He was at once released.

IRISH OPPOSE NEW TREATY.
Already Are Protesting Against Arbi-
tration in Great Britain.

Washington, March 10.-Irish oppo-
sition, which, it is asserted, defeated
the arbitration treaty negotiated by
Secretary Olney and Lord Pauncefote
twelve years ago, now menaces the
new arbitration treaty which has been
evolved by S, cretary Root and Am
bassador Bryce.
Already the state department has
been deluged with circumstances and
protests from Irish patriotic ~organiza-
tons, all directed against the new
convention.
Moreover, this opposition has devel-
oped before anything specific as to the
nature and scope of the new treaty
has been made known officially. There
has been nothing more than a refer
ence to the subject in the British par
lament and some statements in ex-
PLANTATION based upon that declaration
In American newspapers.
State department officials are on
vinced that the opposition to renew
the treaty Is based upon a wrong con-
ceptiop of conditions. But they are,
nevertheless. apprehensive that the
ratification of the treaty, through ig-
norance. may be jeopardized.
