NATHAN JAFFA WOULD
MAKE FINE EXECUTIVE
Honest as the Day is Long," Says
Captain J. S. Lea to Washing
ton Reporter,


Washington, Nov. 5.--J. S. Lea of
Roswell, N. NJ, who was seen at the
National hotel yesterday, said that al
though he is a Democrat, he believes
that Governor Curry tried his best
to give the Territory of New Mexico
a good administration.
If there are charges against him. -
said Mr.. Lea, Il won't believe them
until they are conclusively proven to
me. 1t is no easy matter to be Gov
ernor of New Mexico. The Territory
is full of the shrewdest politicians
who are continuously scheming.'
Asked who he would recommend as
successor to Governor Curry, Mr.. Lea
said
If | were a Republican | would ap-
point Nathan Jaffa, Curry's lieutenant
governor. He is a highly respected
citizen OF the Territory, and has the
confidence of everybody irrespective
Of political conviction. He is as hon
est as the day is long, and no one can
say anything against him."

VIII Receive Twenty Cents a
Word More Than Ex-Presi-
dent for Story.

New York, Nov 5.-Fcrmer Presi-
dent Roosevelt has lost his record as
being the highest paid author in the
world. For the narrative of his big
game hunt in Africa it has been gen
orally understood that he was to re-
ceile dollar a wCrd. but a now COM
paratiyely new magazine announces
that it has contracted to pay Com
mander Robert E. Peary, $1.20 a word
for story of about 100000 words
concerning his adventures in seeking
the North Pcle.
A Wild Rumor.
Washington, Nov. "a rumor That
former President Roosevelt had been
killed on his hunting trip in Africa
was ahoat in Washington this morn
ing but a diligent search failed to dis
cover the slightest foundation for it.
Inquiry from many parts of the
country make it evident that the rum

Institution not the slightest word Of
such fatality had been received. The

tiyes in Africa, has received no such
news
There was no confirmation available
of the report that Roosevelt was killed.
Every effort is being made to obtain
direct information of Mr. ROOSeyelt's S
condition.
Report Discredited.
New York, Nov. 5.--Reports that
former President Roosevelt lost his
life hunting in Africa are not credited
by close friends, nor could the report
be traced to any authentic source
! Neither Douglas Robinson, brother-in-
law Of Mr.. Roosevelt, nor Lyman Alb
bott, editor of the Outlook, of which
Mr. Roosevelt is associate editor had
heard of any accident to Mr.. Roose
ya1t.
Rumor Without Foundation.
Washington, Nov. 5.-COnfidentia
information from a source whose re
liability cannot be questioned, this
afternoon makes it apparently abso
| lutely certain that no tidings of any
mishap to Mr.. Roosevelt have reach
ed this country by any CT the foreign

fact that the rumor is without fQunda
