PRESIDENT SLAPPED
BY THE HOUSE
Special Committee
Resolve to Shelve
His Message
MEMBERS GROW HOT
Wrothy at the Chief Exc
cutive's Insinua-
tions.

Washington. Jan. S.-Chairman Per-
kins Of the special committee which
has been considering that portion of
the presidents message regarding sec
ret service. made his final report to
the house today. The galleries were
packed with interested spectators and
almost full membership of the
house were in their seats Perkins
made an extended address to the
house in which he condemned the
presidents references in the message
and presented the following resolu-
tions:
Resolved. That the house in the
exercise of its constitutional prerog-
ative, declines TO consider any COM
munication from any source which is
not in its own Judgment respectful,
and further
Resolved, That the special commit
tee and the committee of the whole of
the house. be discharged from any
consideration of the presidents annual
message. insofar as ii relates to the
secret service, and that said portion
Of the message be laid on the table;
and, be it further
Resolved. That the message of the
president. sent to the house on Janu-
airy 4, 1909. being unresponsive to the
inquiry Of the house and constituting
an invasion Of the privileges Of the
members of the house by questioning
the motives and intelligence Of the
members in the exercise of their con-
stitutional rights and functions, be
laid on the table.
Messrs. Tawney, Smith, Cove. Sher-
ley and Fitzgerald spoke on the re-
port, resenting what they deemed to
be insinuations by the president upon
members OF the committee on approp-
riations.

LARGE NUMBER
FREE USE" PERMITS
Were issued BY the National Forest
Service During the Year.

Washington. Jan. S-During the last
fiscal year ending June 80. the United
States Forest Service issued to set
tiers in the neighborhood of Nation
al Forests in western states over 30
600 free use permits, under which
the settlers received free about 264,-
600 cords Of firewood, posts. poles and
sawlogs, worth $l69.320, or about Ga
cents per cord in the forest-a low
valuation.
Besides this, the different states re-
ceived for school and road purposes
% per cent of the income from the
National Forests amounting last year
to $44I064 The direct return to the
states in lieu of taxes on the l47 mil
lion acres, the estimated area of un-
patented land in the National For
ests. amounted then in the last year
to S616,34S in cash and free use TIM
Der.
In 1907, the total Of free use" ma
terial and money paid over amount
ed to about $253 400. The increase of
the amount given to the states from
10 per cent to % per cent of course
is largely responsible for the large
return in 1908, but even had this per-
centage not been changed a good in
crease would have been shown, des-
pite the decentralization of the timber
business caused by the financial furry.
In fact, this increase may be looked
for up TO many times the present
amount as the demand for timber in
creases and the forests are developed
more and more.

LEGISLATION
To be Delayed I'm

SENATOR WATSON OPPOSED
He Desires More Time to
Consider Proposed En-
abling Act.

Washington, Jan. SIT is being
hinted that separate statehood for
Arizona and New Mexico must go
over until the Sixty-frst Congress. as
consideration of the general appro-
priation bills and other absolutely
necessary legislation requires all the
time between now and March 4th.
Representative Watson of Indiana,
who was appointed on the committee
on territories, is reported as being op.
posed to action on statehood at this
session, on the ground that there is
not sufficient time to consider the sub
iect.

PEACE COMPACT BY

An Agreement Has Been Signed That
Ends the Trouble in Frisco.

San Francisco, Jan. S.-War among
Chinese Tongs of San Francisco is a
thing of the past, Twelve Tongs in
Guiding the On Yicks and the Suey
bitter warfare for some weeks, have
affixed seals and signature to a peace
compact which binds them to keep the
peace in the Chinese quarters or suf-

nouncement OF the Chinese govern

that relatives Of those in China would
be made to suffer for the misdeeds

had much to do with the sudden ces-

NEW MEMBERS ADMITTED
Opportunity That New Mex
leo and Santa Fe Particular
.ly Should Grasp.

An interesting meeting of the Arch
geological Society was held last even
ing in the Office of Judge N. b. Laugh
lin in the Laughlin Block. There was
a good attendance. Judge John T.,
McFie presided, Secretary Paul A. F..
Walter and Treasurer A. Fl. Brodhead
being also present. Judge McFie eX-
planned in detail the proposition of
the American Institute of Archaeology
to establish at Santa Fe a scnool of
American Archaeology similar to its
schools of Classic and Oriental arch
aeology at Rome, Athens and Jerusa-
lem but greater in it's scope. Judge
McFie during his recent trip to Wash
ington, examined thoroughly into the
proposition and met clearly all objec-
tions thus far urged against the estab-
lishment of the school in New Mexico
and the proposition of the American
Institute, which asks no financial sup
port from the territory for itself, but
asks that the territory establish and
maintain in the Old Palace state
museum of archaeology which would
become world famous for being abso-
lutte unique and possessing priceless
antiquities that would attract scholars
from all parts of the world, not to
speak of tourists.
The proposition was discussed at
length and every point elucidated, the
society coming to the conclusion that
New Mexico is offered aD advantage
that it would be next to criminal tC
refuse.
The following legislative committee
was appointed: John r. McFie, Pau
A. F. Walter, A. J. Abbott. Nathan
Jatfa and Samuel G. Cartwright.
The following ladies' legislative aux
iliary committe was appointed by the
president: Mrs. N. B. Laughlin, Mrs
Jacob Weltmer, Mrs. J. e. Wood. Mrs
B. NJ. Thomas and Miss Jessie Massie
Judge n B. Laughlin. Judge A. J
abbott and A. Fl. Brodhead were ap
pointed committee to draft a bill o.
resolution for introduction in the legis
lature to embody the proposition o
the Institute of Archaeology.
1t was announced that Professor Ed
gar r. Hawett, director Of American
work of the institute will be in Santi
Fe during the legislative session an(
will deliver public illustrated lecture
on archaeological subjects.

Broke the Record.

George Weir of Monument, N.
NJ, smashed the steer tying rec
ord of Cowboy park and the
southwest when he roped and
tied a three year old long horn
in the remarkable time of % 3.5
second Sunday afternoon.
More than one thousand people
saw him do it. While they all
did not hold stop watches on the
performance, no one who was
there doubts that he did it. for
there was the pop Of a pistol as
the steer dashed across the line,
a reddish streak through the air
in the wake of the steer, as the
prize winning sorrel roping horse
of the Weir brothers ran after the
animal, one swing of the lasso, a
flying leap from the back of the
horse, by the roper as he saw
that he had landed true, a secol d
or two of twisting the rope
around the steers feet. andWeir's
hands shot in the air, indicating
that the job was finished.
Cheer after cheer rent the air
as the grandstand witnessed this
splendid piece of work, the eX-
citement increasing with each
second that passed when the
audience saw that he was making
"A record tie. When the time
was announced by the judges to
the group of cowboys around the
judges stand, hats were thrown
into the air, and a number gave
vent to their feelings by genuine
Indian warhoops.
