Commissioner Bowers expressed the be-

the large-mouth bass, as they are known
to live well in alkaline water, while bass
of the small-mouth variety live better in
fresh water and prefer running streams.

LACK BASS FOR LAKE NAVASHA

REQUEST From Former Presiden,
Roosevelt of Commissioner Bowers

Former President Roosevelt has re-
ouested that the United States govern

Navasha.
Mr.. Roosevelts request was made In a
personal letter to Commissioner George
NJ. Bowers of the bureau of fisheries, and
1t will be complied with. II possible.
When Commissioner Bowers returned
yesterday from the New England coast
where he has been for several weeks, he
found awaiting him the following letter
from Mr.. Roosevelt:
''Nairobi, East Africa, July II. 1909.
United States Fish Commissioner, Wash
ington, d. c.
MY Dear Mr.. Bowers: Would it be
possible for the fish commission to send
here a good lot of black bass, either
spawn or young, or in whatever shape
they are usually sent, to put in Lake
Nayasha. The water is fairly temperate.
1t is slightly alkaline, but Is habitually
drunk. and there are plenty Of small fish
and frogs for the fish to live on.
would it be possible for the fish COM
mission to do this?
.T have had great luck here so far.
Faithfully yours.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
EARLY Compliance Indicated.
Commissioner Bowers Immediately re-
Piled to the request. indicating his inten-
ton to comply with 1t as soon as posi-
BILE. Mr.. Bowers said last evening that
the fish probably would be forwarded
from a point In central or southern Eu-
rope, to which the fish commission had
sent black bass.
saThe probability" said Commissioner
RowerS s4s that we shall send a con-
signment OF large-mouth bass, as they
are harder than the small-mouth bass.
We may conclude to send, not the live
fish, but the spawn; but in my judgment
there would be no difficulty in transport
ing the live fish. as in aerated water they
will live for many months.

SECRETARY OF INTERIOR RULES
THAT TERRITORIAL OFFICERS

Order Intends to Put an End to Off.
ciaIs Going to Washington to Lobby
for Statehood and Pet Measures.

Washington, March 20:-Territorial
officers in New Mexico, Arizona and
other territories will receive a shock
in few days when they receive an
official order from Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger, informing them
that in future they must remain in
their territories, except In cases of
emergency.
Secretary Ballinger called at the
white house today and the contem-
plated order received the approval of
President Taft. The order intends to
put an end to the governors and 9th

Washington during sessions of CON

lobbying for their measures or for

the governor. And tney are all good
laws, too is evidenced by the sup
port given them by the republican
majority in both houses Among the
democrats who ably seconded the eff
forts of the republican leaders to
make the session a success were Ba-
ker, first, then Mullens of Chaves:
Davidson Of Grant, Moffett of Otero.
In summing up it might well be said
that Roberts of Colfax on the repub-
lican side, and Brice of Eddy for the
democrats we're the two biggest men
developed by this session of the leg
islature. Roberts is a fighter, quick
witted, able and broad-minded enough
to form material for real leadership.
Brice, while of quiet demeanor, is
a keen lawyer and what he lacked in
oratory he made up in work. The
party leaders believe that in Roberts
they have a future standard bearer
and it is not too much to say that if

escaped in 1907. He was sent to the
Kansas penitentiary under the name
Of ]. S. Gale. When he completes his
term in the New Mexico penitentiary,
he will be turned over to the Kansas

Another escaped convict, John Will
liams, who took French leave from
the territorial penitentiary last Janu-
ary, was captured yesterday at Mid
land, Texas, and is now on his way
back to Santa Fe in charge of an Off
Ger. Williams escape was sensa-
tional. He 1feigned sickness and as a
consequence was not compelled to
stand in the door of the cell house
when the prisoners were checked in
at night. He rigged up dummy and
placing this in his bed hid out and
then made his escape from the prison
yard at night by scaling the wall. His
ruse fooled the guards completely.
