ANDREWS TO GET
MOSHER PENSION
Other Bills Reported Favorably-Has
About Fifty Such in Hand.

Despite the many duties devolving
upon him Delegate w. n. Andrews
finds time to look carefully and sue
cessfully after the wants and desires
of the needy veterans of the Civil
war in the territory. To no needy ex'
soldier who applies to him for help
does he say NO but as soon as he
receives his application for a pension
he attends to it promptly.
The following letter to the editor
Of the New Mexican shows how this
beneficial work is done The letter
reads.
December II, 1908.
Editor New Mexican: I have just
reported from the committee on In
valid Pension of the House the bill
granting Cephos F. Mosher, College
street, Santa Fe, a pension at the
rate of $24 per month. OF course,
this bill is only reported and will have
to pass the House, the Senate, and be
signed by the President, but even
SO, when a bill is once reported 1t usu-
ally goes through This Mr.. Mosher
is old, feeble, and decrepit, and this
will be God-send to him. 1t ought
to come up before the House for ac-
tion some time this week and will
pass in very short order.
also have reported bill for Fran
cisco I.ucero of Albuquerque, an old
crippled up soldier. He used to come
in and see me real often. and know
it will do him lots of good His pen
sion is for $12 per month. also
have had bill reported for VIM. E.
Blanchard of Lincoln at $24 per month.
He saw me when | was there during
the campaign, and asked me to help
him out.
I have about fifty other such bills
that I am working on, trying to get
reported, but I don't see how in the
world I am going to do it.
With kind regards, | am,
Very truly yours,
w. H. ANDREWS.
P. s. Now I wish you would hunt
up old Mosher Of Santa Fe and give
him the good news.

FABIAN POLICY HAS
WORKED OUT WELL
Government Has Waited and Let Ven
ezuela Worry Over
Castro.

Washington, Dec 1.-THE demon
strations in Caracas against President
Castro are surprise to officials in
Washington, who generally expected
that any demonstration of hostile acts
by foreign power against Venezuela
would result in solidfying the people
and rally them to President Castro.
and his government. The common
belief here is that if the United
States had taken forceful steps
against Venezuela, Castro would have
become strong with his people. Pos
sibly for this reason the administra-
ton has been indifferent in pushing
its demands for settlement. The
state department felt that the Vene-
,zuelan situation would gradually work
Itself out For this reason there has
Ibeen a persistent determination to ig-
more Castro and look with equanimity
upon the doings of foreign govern
ments in their efforts to get satisfac-
tion, so long as there was no inter-
f, ference with American iterests and
no violation of the Monroe doctrine.

SULTAN CHEERED AS HE
OPENS FIRST PARLIAMENT

Constantinople, Dec. 17.-Wlth the
first meeting of the Ottoman parlia-
ment today, Turkey formally breaks
from the despotic rule of centuries.
The Sultan who granted a constltu'
ton last July which provided for this
assembly, paraded through the city at
the head of an elaborate cortege to
open the first session. Everywhere
he was greeted with loud cheering and
there was no semblance Of disorder
The cultan opened the parliament
in person with elaborate ceremonies
fashioned after the custom OF older
similar assemblies. The new legisla-
ture met in the same chamber where
the short-lived parliament of 1876 as
sembled. The scene was perhaps the
most remarkable in the political his
tory OF the world. All creeds and
races of the Turkish Empire sent duly
elected representatives.

ASK PRESIDENT FOR
PROOF OF STATEMENT
House Adopts Resolutions Demanding
That Secret Service Be
Ventilated.

Washington, Dec. l7.--Chairnsan
Perkins of the House special commit
tee appointed to recommend course
of action relative to suggestions in
the presidents messase concerning the
secret service to which members OF
congress have taken exception, pre-
sented report at the beginning Of to-
DAYS session of the House. The re-
port recommends the adoption of the
resolution calling upon the president
to supply the House with the evidence
upOn which he based his statement
that a number of house members were
principally concerned over the fact
that secret service men have been
members themselves.
The House adopted the Perkins reso-
luton without a dissenting vote and
after very little comment. Cohen OF
New York, suggested the resolution
should be made applicable to con-
gress as a whole and not merely to
the House, but no change was made
in the wording of it.

POPULAR VOTE At
THE LAST ELECTION
Exceeds all Previous
Records by Over
Million
.P0PUusM HEAVY LOSER
Taffs Majority Over Bryan
Was About One and
Third Million

New York, Dec. 17.-The total pop
ular vote Of the principal presidential
candidates at the last national cleo
tion was made known in an official
form by the fling of the last of the
official vote. that of Michigan. The So
cialistic vote as at first reported is
much larger than the official count
now shows:
Taft (Republican), 7,637G76.
Bryan (Democrau, 6,393, 1872.
Debs (Socialist, 447 1851.
Chain (Prohibitionist, 241,252.
Hisgen 0ndependence), S3,1S6.
Watson (Populistf, 1851.
Gilhaus (Social Labor, 15,421.
Total for all candidates, 14,S52,239
This grand total exceeds by 1,341, ,531
the total number of votes cast in the
Presidential election of 1904, when
the grand total was 13.510,70S.
Compared with that election, the
candidates of the Republican, Demo-
cratic and Socialist parties increased
their vote this year. The. reverse is
true of the candidates of the Prohibi-
tion, Populist and Social labor parties.
The Independence party did not figure
in the Presidential election of four
years ago.
The biggest difference in a party
vote is shown in an increase for Bryan
of 1,315,211 over the total vote cast
in 1904 for Alton B. Parker, the DEM
Ocratic candidates. Taft received a.
100 votes more than were polled in
1904 for President Roosevelt, and Debs
ran 45,3GS ahead of his predecessor
'on the Socialist ticket.
TIE haviest loss is shown by the
Populist party, who, with the same
candidates, registered S3,312 votes less
this year than in 1904 when their to-
tai vote was f1T,1S3. The Prohibition
candidate, Chafin, ran 1924 votes be-
hind the 1904 mark of his party, and
Gilhaus, the Socialist Labor candidate,
received only about so per cent of the
vote given to Corrigan, which was
31,249 in the previous Presidential
race.
Debs received his largest vote in
Pennsylvania, 39,913; Illinois, 39,711
and New York, 3S,451. Vermont was
the only state in which not a single
vote was cast for the Socialist candi
date.

ARIZONA RIVERS ARE
SWOLLEN BY HEAVY RAINS

Phoenix, Dec 1.-Two DAYS of rain
all over Arizona have swollen most of
the rivers to alarming proportions.
The Salt and Verde rivers are par
ticularly high, the latter emptying into
the former twenty-five miles above
Phoenix. The Verde rose sixteen feet
early this morning. During the after
noon water began flowing over the
storage dam under construction at
Roosevelt and which is now seventy
feet high at the lowest end and eighty
five at the other. This evening water
was within two feet of the highest
point and was still rising being sew
eral points over the dam at the intake
power canal at the head of the Roose-
welt basin.

WANTS DUTY ON LEAD
RETAINED TO HELP MINER

Washington, D. G., Dec. 17.--Edward
Brush, vice president of the American
Smelling and Refining company, testi-
fed before the house ways and means
committee yesterday regarding the
lead schedule of the tariff. He claimed
that the duty on lead is for the benefit
of the miner, but also said that there
would not be any lead produced in this
country if the tariff is taken off. He
was questioned by Chairman Payne
with regard to the cost of labor in
Mexico and said poems are paid five
cents an hour and mechanics ten cents
an hour. He also said that the Mexi-
can labor is as efficient as the Ameri-
can labor used in the lead mines.

NO CHANGE IN CONTROL
OF MEXICO CENTRAL
Reports to That Effect Untrue-Com.
pany lis Building Extension 20
Coal Fields.

The reports which have emanated
recently from Wall street. New York,
to the effect that the New Mexico
Central railroad mas been sold to the
Denver and Rio Grande are character.
lied as without any foundation by the
officers at the general Offices OF the
company in this city. There has been
no sale. and there is no prospect Of
a sale being made of the New Mexico
Central to the Rio Grande or to any
other road, prominent officer of the
company said today.
The New Mexico Central is going
ahead building its extension to the
coal fields, and it is expected that
this line will be completed and recdy
for operation by February or March.
The line extends from Moriarty to
Hagan which is to be the terminus, a
distance of forty miles. and another
extension is proposed branching off
from this line at Frost, and running
into Albuquerque. The line from Mo-
riarty to Hagan has been completed
for about seven miles and the work
on the rest of the line Is being pushed
rapidly. The line from Frost to Al
buquerque will not be built until the
Hagan line is finished, but forces Of
workmen are now doing some grad
ing and blasting in the Tierras canon.
The cost of these extensions will ag-
gregate about $1,000,OOO.
The company is preparing estimates
of the new equipment that will be
necessary when this coal line is com
pleted, and will soon be ready to let
contracts for additional coal and pas
senger cars which will be required
to handle the traffic brought to the
road by the new lines. 1t Is estimated
that the company will handle at least
500 tons of coal day from the mines
near Hagan as soon as the road there
is opened. and this will be increased
rapidly as new mines are opened and
new spurs put in.

has Just completed it's tenth year. The
total attendance for the year has been
312. including the attendance at the
summer session of 1907. There were
ten graduates at the recent COM

the eighth grade in which normal stu
