HOW CURRY'S RESIGNATION
 WAS VIEWED
Washington Politicians Specu- lated As to Effect of New MexiCo'S Executives Act in ReSigning From Office

Immediately following the reslgna. ton or Gov. George Curry the Wash ington Post published the following:
 1t was adm tied at the White House last evening that the telegraph ic resignation Of Gov. Curry had been received. It will be called to the attention of the president this morn ing. From indications Of the past few days. there will be little mourning in oflc al Washington over the action taken by the governor of New Mex leo.
 Tt makes no particular difference whether t is due 10 the fact that the governor was 30 aHforturste as to slap an editor who intended to bging charges against him. or heeausx Of the notice of Secretary BsfiingerS on the authority of the president. f7,st Territorial oficers ITencefoTth would be expected 10 remain n their own jurisdiction and attend to tssIF pue lic duties.
 President Taft probably will have mo trouble in finding a good man tO take Gov. Curry's place, and people ln Washington inclined to indulge in an occasional bet are willing to wager that the next governor of New Mex fco will not be a Rough Rider.
 "It is understood that the order is- sued by Secretary BalliDger was in- tended to apply especially to Gov. Curry. who had spent some time in Washington during the last session booming statehood. The order not only commanded territorial officials to rena'n in their own jurisdiction, but required that before they could come 10 Washington their leaves of absence must be approved by the Interior department.
 'The delegates in congress from the various territories recently com DlaiDed to the president about these freeueDt and long sustained visits Of territorial governors to Washington, cla' ming that the delegates elected by inc people were the proper persons to represent fhs territories in Wash ington, whil ethe other appointive Of 6cials were eesigDed>to attend to ter ritorial duties within such territories only. Gov. Curry headed a deiega- ton that came here. f5 was stated af the time and not denied. with it's ex Denses paid by an anDropr'aiion made by the territorial legislaiure. After an interview with President Rosse veit be was dirccfcd to return Co Santa Fe and have the money return cd Co the public treasury Follow no these instructions. the New Mexicr statehood lobby. headed bv the gov cTnor, disappeared from Washington"

DOING POLITICS IN
 PiTTseuRG FASHION

WASHINGTON, March 29.-It is rumored about the capitol that Gov Curry of New Mexico is slated for slaughter and that his days in federal office will be short. The trouble has arisen over the governors attempt to make t appear that he reconsidered his resignation as a result of Mr Taft's intercedenee in his behalf
 The president is very cautious about incurTing the enmity of anyone and he feels that the governor did him an injustice by making t appear that he was in presidential favor. Mir Taft does not want 70 incur the flI will of the enemies of the governor. It is stated at the White House that Gov Curry had no authority for his statement that he reconsideree the resignation mon the request ot President Taft, Senators Penrose anc Oliver ard Delegate Andrews are at tempting to patch things up for the governor.

PLUCK STORY
 THAT RIVALS
 FICTION TALE
Mexican With Broken Leg WriggIes on His Back Three Days, Travelling Four Miles to Railroad Station

4 story of pluck and determination,
 coupled with hardships and suffering on the part of an injured man that rivals the tales oI modern fiction, is told by passengers on this morning g incoming train.
 Tho man in the story, who endured the suffering and >exhibited the grit of "six best seller" hero. is a Mex jean. named sd@ardo Garcia. and fe is nov resting in hospital ln tbis city.
 Last Friday Garcia, mounted on a burro. set out from the hills back or Hereford bound for Bisbee. With the view of making the hard trip as rapidly as possible and endeavoring to eeonomize fin time. the man dc cided to travel night as well as day. Late Friday night. while travelling over q dangerous path in the noun tains the animal on which Garcia was seated stepped on q loose stone. and the man and beast were hurled into e canyon some twenty or thirty feet deep The result of the fall was broken leg for the man. and death for the mule Garcia endeavored to rise, bat the broken limb made it im- possible for him Co do so. Realizing that fl he did not make his way to Hereford, a distance of a little over four miles he would perish from starvation, the plucBy Mexican rolied on his back and by digging his elbows into the ground commenced pushing himself inch oy inch toward the station,
 According 10 Garcia it was about 2 o'clock last Friday night when the sheaTtbreakiDg trip was begun, and it was o'clock yesterday morning when be arrived at Hereford, after three nights and two days of painful griggling over the four miles of foot hills that stood between him and the station.
 The call Of distress uttered by the weak and suffering is never allowed to go unheeded in any land, where real men live, and the big hearted station men at Hereford being Amerl- cans. and more especially Arizouaus. ulG EFefytAEg ln tneir power tO re- heye the suffering of the injured man.
 Tenderly and carefully ke was placed on board this mornings train by willing hands, and although sui lerlus terribly from exposure and the pain Of the broken leg, the man is doing as well as could be exneCted. and it is only a question of time un- ul he will have entirely recovered from the effects of the accident and his narrowing exper' r'ence.
 As af exhibition of what sheer Erit and determination will do, this trip 0I Garcsa will take rank with the greatest of past exhibitions of bray sry, and will live long in the memory G those who know the story.

RACE WAR IN ALABAMA
NARROWLY AVERTED
Troopers Corral Thirty-three
Negroes in Stockade

MAGNOLIA, Ala, Dec. 21.-With
state troops and armed deputies patrol
ling the streets and the public roads
leading into Magnolia and with 33
negro ringleaders corralled in an i'm
provised stockade a threatened race
war is believed to have been averted.
Excitement, however, has not been en-
tirely aIlayed and every white mans
house in Magnolia and for several miles
around is guarded against threatened
revengeful acts on the part of negroes,
who's resent the burning yesterday of
Clint Montgomery, one of the four
negro desperadoes brought here
charged with the killing Saturday night
OF Algernon Lewis.
This section for miles around was
stirred by reports that the negroes
were planning to attack the town to-
night. burn the homes and murder
every white person they could find.
By 8 o'clock this afternoon Magnolia
was filled with white men and seri
Gus clash with the negroes was immi-

MAY GUST CIVIL
SERVICE BOARD
Mccarthy Said to Have Slated
Commissioners as Candi=
dates for the. AK
Protests of Policemen Against
Alleged Unfair Examinations
to Bring Inquiry

That the civil service commission
viii be one of the first candidates for
McCarthy's ak has been strongly init
mated by the mayor elect to members
of the police department who have
protested against the alleged unfairness
of the recent corporals' examination.
There has been no marked warmth OF
affection between Mccarthy and Com
missioner Cornelius since the days OF
the streetcarmen's strike in 1907. Now,
ii is said by those who pretend to
know, the mayor elect will use the
grievance of the protesting policemen
as the excuse for immediate clean
sweep, winch viii take Commissioners
kellogg and Brady into private life
with Cornelius.
Mccarthy declines to admit any such
radical Intentions, but declares that an
investigation of the whole matter will
be one of his earliest official acts. The
mayor elect points with considerable
pride to the fact that he was civil
service commissioner for four years and
admits that he has some accurate and
workable knowledge of the civil serv-
ice system.
The protesting policemen" said Nc

anything like an organized way, and
of course, not officially. Several OF
them have talked to me as individuals

HERMAN SCHUSSLER
BALkS AT QUESTION
Refusal to Answer HaIts DepOsi-
ton in Suits Against Spring
Valley Company
Engineer Must Appear Before
Judge Waste Friday Morn
ing to Give Testimony

Herman Schussler, engineer for the
Spring Valley water company, baked
at some Of the questions which were
put to him during the taking of his
deposition in the suits of the Pleasan-
ton hop company against the Spring
Valley water company and E. r. Lilien-
thai against the Spring Valley water
company. AS a consequence he Will
have to appear Friday morning before
Superior Judge Waste of Alameda
county.
The deposition was taken quietly
Monday in the offices of w. T. Hess. a
notary public in the Claus Spreckels
building. The plaintiffs were repre-
iented by Attorney John S. Partridge,
md A L. Shaw and Z. S. Heller ap-
peared as counseI for Spring Valley and
its engineer. On their advice Schuss-
lor remained silent and brought the
proceedings up 20 the superior Judge
i'm Oakland.
CONCEALS FIGURES
one of the questions which Schussler
refused to consider was:
Did the Spring Valley water COM
pany negotiate in 1885 with +. r. Lii
enthal for the purchase of LilienthaTs
property at PIeasanton?"
That question would have opened the
way to a further inquiry on the value
of the land which it is claimed the
Spring Valley company has partly de-
prived Of water; and the theory of
the complainants is that the water
company did not want these figures
produced in the record.
The suit now going on in Alameda
county has an indirect local interest in
view of the bond election for the pur-
chase of the Spring Valley plant.
Schussler in his testimony Monday
admitted that the Spring Valley com
pany bought land near Pleasanton, ad-
joining the property of the plaintiffs,
in belief that there was water under
the gravel
WELLS CEASED TO FLOW
1t is contended that when Spring Val
ley bought the land there were two
flowing artesian wells on the adjoining
property, but that after the water cor
poration had built its timber galleries
the wells ceased to flow. Schussler
testified that water was reached by the
Spring Valley company at depths OF
from $50 TO 200 feet, which is the depth
of the wells on the plaintiffs holdings
The complaint asked that the Spring
Valley company be enjoined from re-
moving further water from its wells, on
the ground that such removal interferes
with the water rights of the plaintiffs
and that the plaintiffs be reimbursed
for damages accruing since the con-
struction of the timber gallery.

CLERGYMAN PLEADS FOR
MAN WHO ROBBED HIM
When Stolen Articles Are Re-
turned Asks Police to Quit

DENVER, Dec 21-At the earnest
request of Rev. George w. Rose, the
Denver police today ceased efforts to
trace the man who Sunday night
robbed the clergyman's home while the
latter was at church.
The doorbell of his home summoned
the clergyman to the door last night,
and a man, standing in the darkness,
told Rose that all of the things taken
from his house were on the porch.
The man said he had repented, and de-
clared it was his first offense- Then
he disappeared.
A rifle and several valuable articles
Of jewelry were among the articles
taken and restored.
