New England Pie.

Some poor dweller in the benight-
ed beyond of Chicago asks what real
New England pie is like. 1t probably
will not help him to be told, but II
he means apple. 1t is like an essay by
Emerson liquefied with the music OF
Massenet and spiced with the cyni-
cism of Shaw: If he means pumpkin.
1t is like some OF Gounod's music
heard in a landscape all sun and flow
ers. 1t is too early yet to describe
the mince pies Of 1909, but last years
and last year was not an extraor-
dinary good year-were like an In
crease in salary. and present from

conscience was behaving itself.-Bos-

HEARING IS ADJOURNED
BRIEFS TO BE FILED BY DECEM.

HEARD DECEMBER 10TH.

Denver.-A hearing of the charges
against Assessor Sanchez of Huerfano
county, who is charged with failing
to assess 1900 acres OF valuable
lands. and other misconduct in office.
was held before Gov. Shafroth We'd
day afternoon. On petition of attor-
neys for Sanchez they were allowed
eight days to file a brief. and the
attorneys for the state were given eight
days to answer, bringing the date for
both briefs to be filed to December
2. The governor announced that he
would hear the arguments on the
briefs on December 10, the earliest
date that he would have opportunity
owing to his absence from the city
attending to his duties as chairman
Of the committee that will go to Chi
cago to seek lower passenger rates
from the Western Passenger Associa-
ton.
Judge n. Walter Dixon and Judge
Jesse Northcutt represented Sanchez.
and Attorney General Barnett and
Deputy J. NJ. Brinson represented the
state. Each OF the attorneys had op-
portunity to speak. the hearing not ad-
journing until nearly 6 O'Clock.
The attorneys for Sanchez sought
to show that II was not within the
power of the governor. either under
the constitution or the statutes of the
state. to take action in the premises
regardless OF the findings of the state
board OF equalization. which found
Sanchez guilty OF the charges pre-
ferred. The states attorneys claimed
that the governor was empowered to
act summarily, under both the con
stitution and the statutes.
Sanchez's attorneys touched but
lightly on the charges. confining their
arguments almost exclusively against
the constitutIonality of the governor
sitting in judgment with power to re-
move a county assessor. claiming that
II was n matter for the courts alone.
II any action was deemed necessary.
Sanchez was not present at the
hearing.
