In Mr.. Hubbells case one 81 the
cases against him Is concerned with
school moneys and this as we'll as
every other word in the bin shows
plainly that 1t a simply apd solely
a bill for the relief of Mr.. Hubbell
and drawn to cover his case. Ii any
public officer can &c to Santa Fe and
get from the legislature a release from
the result of his m~isdeeds, what Is the
use? Consequently | regard 1t is as
of the highest Importance to test the
validity Of this kind of special legis-
lation which | repeat is in my opin-
ion frankly vicious. There are now,
| believe, four civil suits against Mr..
Hubbell pending for the recovery of
moneys"
THE reference to the district at
torney's salary bill is hardly worth no.
tice. 1t might be pointed out, how
ever, if the legislature passed another
bill which is alleged to have been i'm
proper that is no argument for the
validity Of another of its acts. When
this bill was passed / was not in
Santa Fe and had no communication
with any one in the Legislature or out
of it regarding the bill and knew
nothing about it. All this, however,
is beside the mark"

ONLY DELAY BY HUBBELL
SAYS THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY

The district attorney when inter-
viewed yesterday was outspoken in his
criticism of the bill for the relief of
Frank Hubbell passed by the legis-
lature.
Regarding these indictments" said
Mr.. Klock, they We're all of course
a legacy TO me when ! entered the dis
trict attorneys office being brought
long before | appeared on the scene
This is the first time the cases
have come up under my administration
and previously | had not looked into
them especially. Since doing so it is
my desire to have the civil cases
against Hubbell brought to trial first
in order to test the validity of this law
which I call special legislation of the
most vicious character. The bill
was passed by limitation and
never signed by the governor. In eff
feet, as l view it it %suspends the oper-
alton of the Bateman act for Frank
Hubbell. Now l have nothing person.
ally against Mr.. Hubbell but there is
& public duty to be performed. The
validity of this act of the legislature
cannot be tested in a criminal pro-
ceeding.
IF the court in such a case holds II
valid there is no appeal, the territory
having an appeal only when the court
sustains a demurrer to the Indictment.
In the civil case this appeal can be
taken and the law tested. As to de-
laying the trial, the court stated yes
terdav that that was the first time
the defendant had ever appeared
ready for a hearing of the cases. II
Is a matter of record l believe that
the defendant has sought delay IN
every way n has already demanded
a change of venue on the ground that
the court and tile people are preju-
diced.
The act of the legislature specifies
the office of county treasurer ana
provides. as YOU know. that If this Of
fetal has paid out money on county
Indebtedness from the funds OF an
other year as forbidden in h Bate
man act, his act is validated provided
he has done so on the authority or
warrant of the county commissioners
or county superintendent of schools

APPALLING WASTE BY
NEW YORK GOVERNMENT

Wherever Investigations have been
mude-and an OF the more important
departments have been examined at
least IN part-a high percentage OF
waste has been found in supplies, con-
tracts and salaries.
The following Illustrations are taken
from official records, and mahy OF
them are due to initiative on the part
OF the mayor, the controller or de-
partmert heads. Corrective meas
urcs have been taken In most of the
instances mentioned.
The park department found no
| wrong in paying a salary to Il woman
supervisor Of Fairgrounds who went
to school instead OF to Fairgrounds,
or in leasing privileges for one-half
to one-tenth their value. The lire
department failed to test It's hose Tor
fear it would break. The water de-
partment had no e Of preventing
waste of water or undercharging The
tenement house commissioner dmit
ted an enormous waste of energy be-
cause defiant law violators were NOT
p4u,ecuted. The health department
had only 5 per cent to s per cent re-
suit from its school examinations. Two
borough presidents were removed by
Governor Hughes for paying from two
10 five times the market value Tor
supplies and for gross incompetence;
d ,nlrd ran away rather than tand
trial; the examination of the fourth,
though not yet completed, has dis
closed similar earmarks, The con-
troller has declared hat from 20 per
cent to 40 per cent of the citys cler-
zeal staff, day laborers, etc, could be
dismissed and public work both IN
creased and improved. Civil service
appuintees have, after discharge. re-
covered their positions and thousands
Of dollars for back pay because the
law or discharge wal blunderingly VI
olated. Bellevue hospital bought high
priced milk for tuberculosis patients
and gave It to hospital employees, has
paid $50 more each for ambulances
Thar the price offered and attempted
to hold I'm office an employc who was
a confessed violator OF law, a falsi-
fier Of records and diverter of funds
from authorized purposes. The board
of education asked for less money for
fuel and supplies, in 1908 than II used
In 1904, yet does not claim to have
applied similar efficiency tests 10 It's
repairs, 1anitor and educational ser
vice. Admitted condemnation graft
surpasses the dreams of avarice. -

DISTRICT ATTORNEY
SCORES SPECIAL
LEGISLATION
CITES THAT ABSOLUTI0N
BILL FOR FRANK HUBBELL
Attorney for Francisco Protests
Against unnecessary De-
lay" When Defendant Is Al
legged to Have Dodged Trial,

eff every public officer in the terri
torv can go to Santa Fe and get re-
lief from the legislature from the re-
eult of his misdeeds it would appear
that there is hardly any use in estab-
fishing a rule of conduct" said Dis
trict Attorney George S. Klock yes
terday in discussing the attitude OF
counsel for Frank A. Hubbel relat-
ing to the celebrated list OF indict-
ments against the former treasurer OF
Bernalillo county, charged with the
transportation of school and other
funds and violation of the Bateman
act in paying county bills with county
moneys not applicable on current
years bills.
The matter came up in the district
court late Wednesday evening when
counsel for Frank A. Hubbell, Attor-
ney f. e. Wood, appeared before
Judge Abbott in chambers and de-
manded a trial for his client, protest
ing against what he termed %unneees-
sary delay, which he implied was
caused by the district attorney.
Mr.. Wood stated that six terms OF
court ndu III DStu SlllIt NV lilQltb~
ments were returned in 1907, and
went so far as to cite the sixth amend
ment to the constitution providing for
n speedy trial for accused persons. Mr..
Wood stated hat the caprice of the
district attorney was not good cause
for delay. The attorney for the de-
PENDANT in fact made his client out to
have been a much abused man and
referred to the passing of the CRU
SADIE" against Hubbell which left only
five indictments pending against him.
The district attorney said hat it
was his desire to have a hearing of
the civil suits brought by the county
against Mr.. Hubbell to recover mon
eys first so as to test the validity of
chapter 10 of the laws of the Thirty
eighth legislative assembly, a bill
which he characterized as drawn es-
pecially for the relief of Mr.. Hub
bell. Mr.. Wood here took occasion
to say that it was hardly proper for
the district attorney to criticize one
bill passed by the legislature when
that body nae also passed another one
increasing the salaries of district at
torneys while the district attorneys
or the territory were at the same
time holding a meeting in Santa Fe.
Mr.. Klock protested against what he
termed an implied insult, saying that
he was not in Santa Fe at hat time
and in fact had never been in Santa
Fe during a legislative session nor had
any communication with any legislat-
ors on such subject at any time during
a session. The attorneys were warm
ing up a trifle when the court inter-
vened. Judge Abbott said he would
hear arguments on the validity Of the
act mentioned some Tine next week.

THE POPULATION OF THE
EARTH

The first definite estimate of world
population, with figures to support II
as far as figures go, was computed by
D'Omolius D'Halloy. The mean OF
several reckonings he fixed a round
billion Ga thousand million). These
computations were published in 1856
in the Bulletin de rAcademie Royale
de Belgique. xxxiii. sig. Since that
time a knowledge of population of
savage regions rests upon well-taken
enumerations by the great %colonizing
powers, and these figures have been
subject to revision. AS the beginning
of this century records gave the fol-
lowing components, much of the saw
age world being reckoned in with the
states among which the wild lands
have been %partitioned. The figures
represent the number of millions of
emulation.

NEGROES LOSE CASE
NOT DIsCRIMINATED AGAINST BY
 RAILROADS.
Bishops of the African Methodist Church Appear Before Inter- state Commerce Commission
 With Their Complaints.

Washington, June 29.-Five bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. who complained to the Inter state Commerce Commission that they were discriminated against by South ern railroads and by the Pullman Com sleeping facilities, have been informed by the Commission that their com plaint was not warranted
 The bishops were Wesley J. Gaines, 1T. NJ. Turner. Evans Tyree. c. S.. Smith and F. W. Hampton. Their complaint was directed against the Seaboard Ar Line, the Richmond, Fred ericksburg and Potomac. the Southern Railway, the Central of Georgia and the Pullman Company.
 It was alleged that the day coaches furnished for negro passengers in the Southeastern States were not equal to those provided for white people; that negroes were denied sleeping car &C., mmodations: and that they were re- fused food in the dining cars solely on account of their co,or.
 At the hearing of the case the com plaint as to the day coaches was aban- doned in view of the weight of testi- mony to the contrary; and with respect to the dining car facilities. the allega- tions were modified by concession. Most of the complainants and their wit nesses testified that they actually did ride on sleeping cars.
 It is held by the Commission in its decision that undue discrimination and prejudice was not shown and the com plaint, therefore. was dismissed!
