THE CAPITOL ROW SHIFTS
SMITH AND PARK AT OUTS
OVER THREE HUNDRED
PLUNKS POSTAGE.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Capitol contro-
versy made a distinctive shift this
morning, turning from the governor
and the chairman of the railroad
commission to the governor and the
state treasurer, and from a general
revision of freight rates in Georgia
to a stamp bill Of a few hundred
dollars.
Governor Smith, in a letter ad-
dressed to Treasurer Park, declines
once more to issue the warrant for
the postage to which the treasurer
referred in his annual report and for
the payment of which, said the treas
urer. he had a balance of only 4
cents.
AS a consequence the treasury de-
partment is not mailing out any more
of the treasurer's annual reports.
Those people, banks or corporations
that want copies of the report can
send 20 cents postage or ask that the
copy be sent by express, or they can
come after it. Treasurer Park, who
has already paid 1920, he says, from
his own pocket, and who now, in
view of the governors reiterated re-
fusal to recognize a claim against the
state for the amount, stands very
little chance of getting reimbursed,
has apparently learned a lesson and
does not intend to be "Caught' any
more.
The treasurer language, in his
reference to this item of postage in
his annual report under the heading
Of Nothing to pay postage will be
remembered as somewhat acrid.
at would again call your atten-
ton" he says in that report, Ito
the fact that the postage expended
Gin the state bank bureau) has
amounted to 1920, and / have only
five cents with which to pay it and
$1,020.67 due on salaries. The at
tOrney general, in an opinion, stated
that it was altogether within the
province and power Of the governor
to give me a warrant for the pay
ment of this claim for stamps.
again respectfully request this often
mentioned warrant and trust that it
will be agreeable to send it without
further delay"
In his reply, which was delayed
till within the past week, Governor
Smith denies the request once more,
suggesting that the treasurer pay
his expenses first and his salaries
afterward, inviting the treasurer's
attention to the fact that his own
salary as chief bank examiner, ST.
500, had been paid in full for 1908
The governor holds that the state
bank bureau is a separate depart
ment, and must take care of itself,
and that it has no rightful access to
the comforts of the contingent fund,
from which the treasurer was desir-
GUS of drawing enough money to re-
imburse himself for the postage.
1t has long been the custom at the
capitol for the stamp bills of all eX-
ecutiye departments, such as the
treasury, cOmptrOllers, attorney gem
erals and secretary of states Offices
be met from the governors contin-
gent fund, and the present instance
is the first time that a governor is
said to have declined to approve a
warrant for such a purpose.

$1,000 OZONE SCHOLARSHIP.
Governor Stubs Finds New Way to

Governor Stubs Finds New Way to
Increase Fame of Kansas.
That a Kansan is never at a loss
to exploit the advantages of the

found for Kansas scenery and Kan

prairies and sage bushes, but it re-
NAMED for Governor Stubs to en-
courage the production of something
along new lines.
This the governor has done by es-
tablishing an ozone scholarship at
the State University. The scholar
ship is for $1,000 a year, and pro-
vides that the student is to devote
his entire time to the investigation
OF ozone and find practical use for it.
This is a comparatively unexplored
field in chemistry, according to the
governors views.

100000 OF RAT SKINS

Ladies' Gloves and BOokbinding.
The use of rat skins in various in

among other things for bookbind-

WAS CALLED TO ARDEN
SPENT TWO HOURS LAST THURS
DAY WITH FAILING MAGNATE
GOING OVER DETAILS
He WHO SAVED The DAY
TRUE TO HIS PROMISE WAS THE
GREAT FINANclER OF WALL
STREET

Arden, N. Y, Sept. 11.--To ]. P. Nor
gan, who true to promise made Harris
man just before his death, is due the
credit in a large measure, for saving
the stock market yesterday from a
panic, which seemed inevitable in
the event of the great magnate's
demise.
1t was learned today that one OF
the last men to talk over business
with Hartman before his fatal re-
lapse on last Sunday, was ]. Pierpont
Morgan. For nearly two hours last
Thursday, the two leaders in Ameri-
can finance sat on the porch of the
Hartman palace at Tower Hill and
talked over business matters.
While it is not known what they
talked about, it is believed in financial
and railroad circles that at this con-
ference plans were agreed upon by
which Morgan and the huge interests
he controls, were to support the mar.
ket in case of Harriman's death, or
his permanent retirement from active
life. 1t is believed that when this con
ference took place, that Hartman
knew he was dying, although for the
sake of his family he concealed this
knowledge to spare them any un-
necessary heartaches.
In case he died, Hartman knew
that unless the strongest money pow
er in the country got under" the mar
ket, the effect of his death would pre-
cipitate a disastrous panic, and for
the sake of the thousands of railroad
stockholders and his own interests, he
called in Morgan, in life business
foe, but who in death proved his
staunchest friend
Funeral Tomorrow
Arrangements for the funeral Sun
day of Mr.. Hartman were completed
today First his family, then the sim
pie folk of the valley and hillside who
for twenty years regarded hiln as
their friend and benefactor, will pay
their tributes of respect. The days
ceremonies will end with burial
service and interment, which will be
attended only by relatives and per-
sonal friends among his business as
sociates.
Family services will be held at Ar
den house at 10 o'clock Sunday morn
ing and holy communion will be cele-
brated at II O'Clock at st. Johns Epis-
copal church.
The burial service will take place
at st. Johns at .. m. The inter-
ment will follow in the Hartman pri-
vate burial ground. stones throw
southeast of the church. Music will
be furnished at the main service by
the choir OF Grace church, New York.
Judging by the preparations, it IS
evident that half the population OF
the nearby villages will attend the
public services, and hundreds Of his
friends high in the world of finance
and railroads.

NEW ADDITIONS TO FACULTY
MAKE 1T THE STRONGEST
IN THE TERRITORY

Everything is being put in order for
the opening of school at the New Mex
leo Normal University on Tuesday
September 14th. A number of repairs
and improvements have been made
during the summer both inside and
outside. The grounds have been
thoroughly cleaned up. some new
walks laid, and curbing put in. The
spots where the grass froze out during
the winter and made the campus
look less attractive than usual have
in the main been covered with new
grass. and the institution and sur.
roundings are more attractive than
ever. Il.
k.Applications Pour In

dents, especially in the training schoo
where the. room is limited, have hat

institution, exclusive of the summe,
school. has grown from less than 10t
to nearly 300. Last year 1t would
have gone beyond 800 If it had not
been necessary to turn away some 40
or 30 for lack of room. This year
will from all appearances surpass
last year.
A Territorial Institution
So far from being a local institu-
tion the Normal University repres.
ents the whole territory IN the strict
est sense. It had students last year
from about two-thirds of the counties
of the territory. It furthermore had
students from eight different states
These students from other states were
a source of revenue to. the institu-
tion. and did not in any sense inter
tere with the usefulness of the insti-
tuition for the people of New Mexico
Splendid Faculty
The Normal University has an ex-
cellent faculty of thoroughly equip
ped teachers. DR.. A. e. Winship
editor of the Journal of Education,
Boston, recently published the state.
ment in a Boston daily paper that the
New Mexico Normal University has
more university graduates on it's fac
ulty than any institution of its kind
in New England. A glance at the
catalogue will show that almost
without exception the teachers even
in the grades have been trained at
one or more of the leading univer
sites. The following are some of the
institutions from which they came
Yale, Clark University; University Of
Chicago, University of Indiana, Uni
versity of Illinois. Illinois State Nor
NAL University, Northern Indiana
Normal University, University of Mis-
souri,. Columbia University, University
of Vermont, and various colleges and
normal schools besides. A faculty
trained in such institutions as these
ought to be able to do high class
work. It is the aim of those in charge
to make the Normal University
second to no institution of its kind in
the country.
Few Changes Made
There have been few changes in
the faculty for next year. One new
