OF st. Louis, in which the writer de.
clares that Governor Haskell's state.
ment in his letter OF September 80
regarding the latter's connection with
the Creek Indian lands is so imper.
feet that 1t Is entirely misleading. The
letter follows:
Dear Mr.. President: notice n
Governor Haskell's letter OF the date
of September 80 the following state.
ment: "Yes. 1 believe that 1 am de-
fendant as to certain government
townsite lots in one of nearly 1900
suits that you have brought against as
many different honorable and high
minded citizens of this state during
the presidential campaign year, and
will not undertake to deny that the
petty politics for the purpose of Re-

ers was your sole motive In having
these suits brought, and / charge you
with knowing that there has been no
delay In these cases except that caused
by the courts deliberations, taken oy

sary to consider whether or not there

The above statement regarding
townsite suits Is so imperfect that IL
Is entirely misleading. All of those
suits in which Haskell was defendant
except one were filed in 1907. prior
to Oklahoma's admission as a state.
He is charged with direct participa-
ton in the frauds through which the
Indians were deprived or their prop
erty and the bills seek to hold him
personally liable for the injury thus
inflicted. He has not answered to
the merits In a single case, but all
pleas filed by his attorneys are pure

in the cases so that the hearing might
be held on the merits and the cases

never yet met affirmative responses
and the result Is that the cases have
taken a regular course on a heavy
docket. We have announced several
times in open court and otherwise
that we are ready for an immediate
hearing. This has been done with a
view to obtaining a speedy adjustm ment

ants have not approved It.

GOVERNOR CURRY GOES
...... s.s:.'.: il TO CAPITAL CITY
He VIII Return Next Week TO Attend
Montezuma Bali and Fair.

For the first time since the begin
ming OF the congress and exposition
Governor George Curry is having a
little rest today and enjoying the
pleasures that he helped TO make pos
sible for Albuquerque's many visitors.
The banquet at the Alvarado last
night by Col. Hopewell, chairman of
the board of control, to the army Of
ficers and foreign representatives, at
which the governor was an honored
guest, gave the chief executive an ex-
cuse this morning to stay In bed a
little late, though his long service on
the cattle range and in the army give
him little inclination for rest after the
sun is up.
Aftetr late breakfast the governor
held a short executive session and
then proceeded to spend the day in
rest and pleasure.
The governor will go to Santa F.
tomorrow morning and put in Sund y
at the state house attending to minor
executive business that has accumu-
lated during his absence. The mat
ters OF importance have been admin
istered to at the Alvarado as they
came up. on Monday Governor Cur
ry will speak at an Andrews meeting,
but I'll come back before the fair
IS over" he said. 81 must be here
Friday for the Montczuma ball, and
| VIII probably see the closing days
OF the fair. After that we must get
busy with the campaign. We will
probably complete this evening the
itinerary that several other members
OF the party and myself are going h
follow in a campaign OF enllghtc en-
mont. We will do some hard work in
the eastern part Of the territory"

Race viii be Finished To-
night If There Are Any
Left to Finish.

Brighton Beach Track, Oct. a.
With train of injured and dying
men and hopelessly wrecked racing
machines behind them. six of the
twelve automobiles that started in
the "a hour race at Brighton Beach
track last evening were still in q
mad whirl this morning.
Apparently prudence has been cast
to the winds and no chance is con-
sidered too great for the drivers of
the flying machines. AS a result all
previous records are already eelipsed
and If the leaders maintain that
speed to the end. nearly If not quite
10 miles will be added to the "a hour
figures.
A piling up OF the racing machines
was avoided by a miracle during The
night when four cars running close
together were thrown into confusion
by Special Officer M. G.. Fickell pass
ing directly in their track. Three
autos avoided the lodging man but
the fourth smashed into him. throw
ing him sixty feet. He was picked
up unconscious and is now in a criti-
cal condition. All others of the in
jured are drivers and mechanics, none
seriously.

soon after, retiring both from the
contest. The italian entry. driven by
De Palma. cracked two cylinders and
the American car. driver by Cher

At o'clock this morning the field
had been reduced to six cars.
A. the conclusion Of the twelfth
hour the track was cleared to permit
repairs being made on the turns
which had been badly cut up. 1t was
intended to resume at 10 o'clock.
This brings the race to a close at
10 tonight. The score at the end
of the twelfth hour was: No. 8.
613 miles: No. 6. 412: No. 2. 562;
No. IL, 413: No. 4. 254. The best

ALBUQUERQUE. NEW MEXICO SATURDAY, OCTOBER g. 1908
resolution was offered by Governor
Kfhhav nf Arizopa.

resClution was offered by Governor
Kibbey of Arizona:
Resolved, that this congress ap.
proves the action Of the National
Rivers and Harbors congress in or
ganizing the conservation league OF
America and expresses hearty SYM
pathy with the aim of the league
looking 10 the better utilization of the
waters of the country for all purposes
connected with Irrigation"
With the exception of the usual
number of announcements from the
sec etary of the congress the address
of Congressman Ransdell ended the
work of the Sixteenth National con-
gress and the convention after pass
ing a motion to adjourn sine die.
resolved itself into an animated mass
in and about the platform. the vari-
Gus units of which engaged in hand
shaking and congratulation upon the
successful work of the meeting. Presi-
dent Barstow and Secretary Fowler
were the pivotal points of the group
and 1t was o'clock before the last
struggling delegate left the Conven-
ton hall and the oppressive silence
which reigned throughout the great
building told all too eloquently that
the makers of history who have been
doing their beneficient work within
its walls during the week had depart
ed therefrom forever.
1t is difficult to predict at the pres
ent writing Just how much of real
benefit will eventuate from the de-
OF the great body whose
work was closed this morning, in its
effect upon future legislation or in
the spreading of a better knowledge
of ways and means among those en-
gagged in the great work Of reclama-
ton and conservation throughout the
arid west. That II will result, how
ever, in an enormous impulse In be-
half of these important objects goes
without saying.
Throughout the week there has
been present in Albuquerque one or
the most extensive gatherings of dis
men and women ever as
sembled in one place for the advocacy
OF any serious purpose. Mingled with
them and recruited from all portions
of the United States and through the
Press from ali quarters of
the clVlllZeQ WOTlQ nave DeeH tnt
of a virile press who
have industriously ana ably preach
ed the doctrines OF the congress to
an audience OF millions Of reading
men and women and who from the
first have been lending to the work
of the congress the value of favor
able interpretation.
The result which must come from
the work OF these men and the great
engines Of publicity which they rep
resent will not accrue alone to the
cause OF irrigation, but will react
this fall upon the action OF the Con-
gress Of the United States when the
enabling acts for the admission Of
New Mexico and Arizona come up
for consideration. Incidentally, It
should be added that the generous
which the city OF Albuquerque
has received during the week on the
title pages Of metropolitan journals
from the Great Lakes to the gulf and
from the Atlantic to the Pacific will
be worth all 1t has cost
and then some.
