letter from the department of agricul-
ture informing him that the appor-
tiOnment of the forest funds to New
Mexico this year amounts to $780,

The last named is partly in Colo
rado and the second last in Arizona
and New Mexico, and the figures Civ
en- for them are only for the portions
within New Mexico. The New Mex
leo apportionment goes to the diff
ferent counties in which the forests
are situated to be expended for good
roads and public schools.
Water Applications Approved.
Territorial Engineer Vernon L..
Sullivan today approved the applica-
tions for water rights of J. B. Baum
gaertner on the Rio Petaca in Taos
county, for the reclamation of 1900
acres; and of J. T. Morgan on the
Aqua Chiquita in Otero county to re-
claim 200 acres.
Board of Equalization.
The territorial board of equaliza-
tion was in session today in the Sen
ate chamber at the capitol and list
ended to eloquent arguments in appeal
cases. The tax rolls from Curry
Roosevelt, Quay, Taos and San Juan
counties failed to materialiZe and the
assessors of those counties will be
fined unless they can give very good
excuse for their delinquency.
Cattle Sanitary Board.
The territorial cattle sanitary board
met yesterday and today in it's new
Offices at Albuquerque and transacted
a large amount of routine business
that had accumulated.
Dearth of School Teachers.
The superintendent of public insruc-
ton reports dearth of teachers in
many counties, notably in Guadalupe.
Union and Quay counties. 1t will be
difficult to enforce the compulsory ed
ucation law in districts where teachers
for the public schools can not be pro-
cured This in the face of the fact
that more teachers attended normal
institutes and were granted certificates
to teach this year than ever hereto
fore.
Mounted Police Are Busy.
Lieutenant J. W. Collier, of the ter
ritorial mounted police, who came up
from Estancia last evening, today

Portland, Sept. 14.-F. H. Newell,

states that apportionments for irriga-

MORE CRITICISM

Senator Bacon Uses Recent
Message for Text.
LANGUAGE DISCOURTEOUS

Georgia Scion Insists on Right of Con-
eress to Inspect Papers of Any De.
partment and Declares Presidents
Attitude on Absorption of Tennes.
see Coal and Iron Company by
Steel Trust Is Unprecedented.
Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Ba
con introduced in the senate reso.
luton declaring that "any and every
public document, paper or record, or
copy thereof, on the files of any de-
partment of the government relating
to any subject whatever over which
congress has any grant of power,
Jurisdiction or control under the Con.
stitution, and any information rela
tive thereto within the possession ol
the officers of the department, is sub
ject to the call or inspection of the
senate for its use in the exercise OF
it's constitutional powers and juris'
diction."
Taking the floor to speak to his
own resolution MIR. Bacon said that it
was of especial Importance because
of the recent message of the presi'
dent, In which he stated had directed
the attorney general not to give III
formation as to what he had done in
the bringing of suit against the
United States Steel corporation for
its absorption of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron company.
Language Not Courteous.
Complaining that the language OF
the president in his Steel corporation
message had not been distinguished
by it's extreme courtesy" Mr.. Bacon
proceeded:
"This is the first time that the de
nial of the right of the senate has
ever been made ir such unlimited anC
emphatic language as that now EN-
| pIoyed by the president"
Senator Hale expressed the opinion
| that the president had not taken {
square ground upon the right of con
| gress to direct the transmission 0
papers by the heads of departments
Il do not" said Mr.. Hale, know tha
that right has been questioned and
hope it never will be-"
| Mr.. Bacon said that the presiden
did not stop at questioning the sen
ate's reasons for its inquiries, bu
| that he had said that the heads o
executive departments were subjec
to the Constitution, to the laws passe'
by congress and to the direction o
the president of the United State
"and to no other direction whatever.
"That," said Mr.. Bacon, "is as broa'
as human language can make it."

ESTIMATE OF DEAD
REMAINS UNCHANGED
About One Hundred PeriShed in
Lick Branch Mine.

Bluefield, w. Va, Jan. 14.-Rescue
crews worked necessarily all night at
Lick Branch coal mine, the scene OF
the recent explosion, and so far twen-
ty-six bodies have been recovered.
There is no change in the estimate of
dead, the number ranging from eighty
five to hundred. Identifications pro-
ceeded slowly throughout the night,
as but few were present at the morgue
on account of the cold.
1t is not likely that any more bodies
will be brought to the surface for
some hours, although brattice and
rescue crews will work continually
relaying every few hours with fresh
forces of men, who have volunteered
from all over the coal field. 1t Is
learned that the company has ordered
eighty caskets and robes.
One of the remarkable features OF
the accident is the miraculous escape
of Cleveland Bowers, a mine foreman
who erawled on his hands and knees
from the mine, while fire, smoke and
gases belched forth over him. Bow
ers is the only man who reached the
surface alive and although he lies In
a hospital with two broken ribs and
other injuries it is asserted he will

was broken when the senators crossed
the corridor of the statehouse and
took their places in the hall of the
house of representatives to witness
the canvassing of the returns. The
senate took the action on the under
standing among themselves that their
presence in the house was simply as
witnessing the canvass of the returns
and was not a joint session which
could proceed with recount. The
breaking of the deadlock on the can
yass of the vote does not entirely
clear the situation, as there remain
many points of difference between the
contending forces which have caused
turmoil in the legislature since the
session opened last week Tuesday
The lines of cleavage between the
Shurtleff Republicans and the admin
istration Republicans who attended
the Republican caucus are as sharply
drawn as ever. The getting together
on the canvass, however, will permit
the completion of the organization of
the house and the commencement OF
the actual work of the legislature,

for state officers was announced could
not proceed in it's usual business.

SLIGHT QUAKES IN
ITALY CAUSE PANIC
People Feared Repetition Of Re-
cent Catastrophe.

Rome, Jan. IA slight earthquake
shock was experienced throughout
Lombardy, Venetia and Tuscany. NO
damage was done and no one was in
iured, bat owing to the general un-
easiness resulting from the recent

Treviso. sixteen miles north of Venice.
Venice, Italy, Jan. 1.-two earth
shocks were experienced here. The
people rushed out from their houses
and gathered in the Place of st. Mark
and other open squares. There was
much excited comment and question
ing, but calm in general was main
tanned. No damage was done and
this is thought to be due to the fact
that the houses of Venice are built
on piles.
Florence, Italy, Jan. 14.-Several
0arth SHOCKS were TeCOIueu hSlC a.
intervals of two seconds. The people
rushed out from their houses in con-
siderable trepidation, fearing repe-
tition of the Messina and Calabria
disasters. No damage was done and
as the trembling soon ceased calm
was restored and the work Of the day
resumed.
Milan, Italy, Jan. 14.-An earth
shock was felt here, causing consid-
erable alarm. People rushed from
their houses and congregated in the
Cathedral square. There was nc
repetition of the quake and calm was

NOT CAUGHT SHORT IN FLAX
Duluth Firm Denies Reported Cause
of Suspension.

Duluth, Jan. 14.-Watson S. Moore
of the firm of Spencer, Moore & Co,
which failed Tuesday, denied that the
failure was due to the firm being
caught short in flax, which has had
sensational rise of nearly 4O cents
bushel during the last few months.
He stated that the firm had not had
trade in flax on it's own account for
a year or more. Mr. Moore said he
was unable to give any details re-
garding the extent of the firms liza

is in the hands of an assignee, Z. A.

DIR. Franklin himself In one Of the
last numbers of the almanac gathered
together all the best sayings OF Poor
Richard, which for twenty-five years
had amused and edited the country.
These sayings are in constant use at
this day. For example, "Early to bed
and early to rise makes man healthy,
wealthy and wise;" "Drive thy bust.
ness-let 1t not drive thee" "Help
hands, for have no lands;" mo gains
without palms." Constant dropping
wears away stones;" "Three removes
are as bad as fire." "He that by the
plow would thrive must himself ell
ther hold or drive" "a fat kitchen
makes a lean will;" Experience keeps
a dear school, but fools will learn in
no other" 1t was such homely max
inns as these inserted In all the little

popular. Franklin said he sometimes
