Demand Evidence From the
President.
Special Committee Submits to the
House, Which Adopts a Resolution
Asking That He Supply The Body
With The Data Upon Which He
Based The Charge That Members
We're Principally Concerned by the
Fact That Secret Service Men Had
Investigated Some Of Them.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Chairman
Perkins, of the House Special Com
mittee, appointed to recommend q
course of action relative to the sugges-
tions of the President in his annual
message concerning the secret service,
to which members OF Congress have
taken exception, presented a report OF
that committee at yesterdays session
of the House. The report recommends
the adoption OF resolution calling
upon the President to supply the
House with the evidence upon which
b bas I'd his statement that the mem
b3rs of the House were principally
concerned over the fact that the secret
service men had been Investigating
mem bers themselves.
The House adopted the resolution
and the secret service without dis
senting vote and after very little
comment. Mr.. Cochran, OF New York
suggested that it should be made ap-
plicabIe to Congress rs a whole and
not merely to the House, but the cha ge
was not made.

Big PROFIT ON
STATE FARM.
$4,000 To Turn Into State
Treasury.
This is To Be Used To Pay Off the
Bonded Indebtedness the In.
heritance From Fusionism.

That the State Prison management
has been one of business under Dem,
oeratie control is shown by the tact
that the prison is turning money into
the State Treasury to wipe out past
indebtedness.
In statement given out at Winston
Salem yesterday Chairman J. g. Hack
ett. of the Board, expressed the opinion
that the Board would have $17O, 200
to turn over to the State as prof IS
from the State farms, cts. IT the or
der made by the last Legislature is
carried out, the money will be. used
to pay the bonded Indebtedness OF the
State made by the Fusion administra-
ton.
Chairman Hackett says a check for
$l7O, 600 will be turned over to the
State Treasurer and the Legislature
can appropriate it as it chooses. He
thinks it will be mistake to take up
over half of the Fusion bonds, as the
work on the Eikin and Allegheny ;and
other railroads being built by State
convicts would necessarily be stopped
if all money to the credit OF the peni-
tentiary is used for other purposes.

Roosevelt four years ago. Bryan re-
ceived 1.72O.799 as against ,4eO, 1873 for
Parker in 1904.
These figures show that Taft outran
Roosevelt, while Bryan outstripped
Parker. The total vote for Taft and
Bryan was 3,545,45 as against 3,242,-
S26 cast in the Roosevelt-Parker cam
paign.
The figures for the minor candidates
are not yet at hand, but all the reports

WANING POWERS.

Tbsi' waning power of Pr@sid ent
comes manifest to free criticism, and
Mr.. Roosevelt is no exception to the
rule. The particular occasion arises
over the use OF detectives appointed to
watch counterfeiters and violators OF
the internal revenue laws. The Presi-
dent has seen fit ito use these detec-
tives to run dow even Congressman
engaged in land frauds. In his last
annual message he objects to the re-
strictions imposed last year on the
objection he said: "In it's present form
the restriction operates only to the ad-
vantages of the criminal, to the wrong
doer. The chief argument in favor of
the provision was that the Congress
men did not themselves wish to be in
vestigated by secret service men." He
goes on to discuss the subject in his
customary manner, and Congressman
a.ze full of wrath. Congressman Per-
kins of New York, a Republican. call
ed for committee of five to consider
the Presidents statement, and the
House adopted his resolution in hot
haste unanimously.
There are other indictments urged
against the President. He ordered the
old Pennsylvania station on the Mall
pulled down without authority OF law.
He did it because he did not want to
see the building there. Then, too, he
gave his farm upIifters the ranking
privilege, all outside the law, the com
mission as well as its franking privi-
lege.
These things simply show how auto
cratic the Big StickIwas fast becoming
and they also show how rapidly the
power of that stick vanishes as the day
of change in March approaches.

Thlrd-That the money raised

in the hands Of a committee who
was authorized to invest Il and
there was nothing to prevent the

Mr.. Cline concluded his remarks
on the money part by advocating
postal savings banks which would

Mr.. Cline then said he favored
and would work for direct pri-
mary law and several other mat
ters of needed legislation were
touched upon. Mr.. Cline con-
cluded by saying that La Plata
and Montezuma counties were as
one to him and that he would
serve both equally we'll; that all
La Plata county had to do would
be to call on him for anything
that he could do; that the inter.
ests Of Mancos and Montexuma
county were tied up with Durango
and La Plata county; that a large
and growing city In La Plata coun-
ty meant progress for Montezuma
county; that there were no jeal-
ousies; that our people must work
hand in hand. Mr.. Cline added
that he was making this campaign
with clean hands; that he had
nothing to keep back 30 far as his
own record Is concerned, but that
he would not make dirty cam

that he wanted the votes Of mon

States Position on
Main Issues

Tuesdays Durango Daily Herald.)
Gilbert I. Cline, the Republican
nominee for state senator, made it
plain last night that he should be
elected to represent the counties OF
La Plata and Montezuma the next four
years. While many of our people
have met Mr.. Cline in a business way
they knew nothing of his general quail
fications that make man competent
to look after the interests of his con
stituents in a law-making body Mr..
Cline had the privilege of stating his
views before an audience of 500 peo-
pie last night and he showed where
he stood SO plainly that any question
that might have hinged regarding his
election, was removed. In the first
place Mr.. Cline plainly showed that
he can get up on the floor of the sen.
ate and hold his own in debate and
advancing arguments for any propo-
sition he backs. Secondly, Mr.. Cline
plainly showed that he has views upon
public questions and matters that are
interesting the public mind at this
time.
First: Mr.. Cline said he was a
banker, and that banks rightly con-
Quoted were a great benefit to the
people, how the bank with which
he was connected as manager, had
paid dollar for dollar at all times
and never withheld dollar, no
matter how large a sum; he said
capitaI-bona fide paid in and un-
impaired capital-with increasing
| deposits; that few years ago he
was approached with proposition
| to contribute to fund to buck
| certain legislation, and instead Of
contributing he emphatically
stated that the legislation was
| right and beneficial he said all
bank officers should be boHded
In a sufficient sum to protect the
bank depositors against loss: that

Iican legislature was a good thing;
Mr.. Cline said that the same rule
should hold good In banking as
In other matters where trust funds
are held; that county and state
treasurers had to furnish bond for
funds placed in their hands; that
II was only right that banks should
give bond to secure deposits;
that this bond should be provided
by a surety company; that these
surety companies did not send out
politicians, but experts and that
where surety was furnished, banks
would have to do a strictly legt-
Innate business and make honest
loans; Mr.. Cline said he would
favor legislation that would protect
depositors, but he wanted legisIa-
tion that would prove lasting; he
could not agree with the Oklahoma
guarantee proposition for these
reasons:

SHELTER FOR LODI.

Lodi is situated sixty miles south
west of Austin, New, in Nye county,
and is the mining district in which A
number of Salt Lakers became in
terested several years ago. For a
time there was a great deal of ac-
tivity in the opening up of the min
eral belt in that section, and several
hundred thousand dollars worth of
ores was sent to the valley smelling
plants. After the first summer it de-
veloped that the cost of transporting
the ores from the mines by means o.
wagons and railroads amounted to
$50 ton before the product reached
the smelters for treatment. This
decided the operators to await the
coming of a railroad, or some othe"
sort of relief, as it was evident that
| the mine owners and leasers could
not stand this heavy transportation
charge.
Recently the directors of the Lodi
Mines Company met in Denver and it
was decided to get up plans for the
construction of a smelling plant and
have the new furnaces completed and
ready for commission during the
coming summer. Manager Grill OF
the Lodi Mines Company has JUS
i passed through the city en- route tc
the mine and says that he will pu'
into execution the orders of the com
pany at the earliest date possible
A traction engine is part of the new
/ equipment that is to be provided

coke and oil from the railroad sta
ton at Lunning. to the mines. Tn
| road has already been placed in con
) dition for the running of this ma
: chine, and with mild climate, n
e trouble is anticipated in hauling tn
S ores during the entire year.
The plant, as planned, is to be TO

; that if enough custom ores can b
provided, the smelling plant will b
