REFUGEES ARE SCARED

WASHINGTON, Feb. According
to reports received here from Hondl:.'
ras. several hundred Americans now
residing in that country are awaiting
with a great deal Of anxiety the de
.ision OF the United States officials as
| 10 whether the extradition treaty re.
Gently entered into by the United
States and Honduras Is to be retroac.
tive. While there are many. Americans
! in Honduras VINO are there in the IN;
Iterests OF trade and commerce, per-,
tbaps the, majority ara refugees from
Justice who has thus far successfully
eluded the long arm Of the law and
ESCAPED punishment for crimes COM
mitted In the States. Until the recent
|eytraditlon treaty was signed Hondu-.
iras was the last refuge for American
terminals in the western hemisphere,
and unknown hundreds have taken
advantage OF that fact. Living under,
assumed names, some In direct power
i ~ and some enjoying the fruits of H.
gotten wealth. many famous or infa-.
NOUS American criminals, are to be
found in the Honduranean capital and
| In the smaller cities and villages. II
| II is decided that the recent treatry is
retroactive, some Of these refugees
may. be brought back to the United
States for trial 1t is realized, how.
ever. that Is would now By q difficult
matter to bring about the conviction
Of most Of tile refugees, and It Is prob.
able that the officials will decide that
the criminals will be sufficiently pun
!shed by having to live out their lives
In Honduras.

Charles L. Tutt, the multi-million-

purchasers of the Lobato land grant,

sources that the death of Mr. H'utt will
not materially alter the plans which
had previously been made to develop
this great section of the territory. The
work will begin as soon as spring
opens up and Espanola will doubtless
be the headquarters. A railroad is to

Secure Duplicates of Des-

Chicago, Jan. 22.-The Record-Her-

Thousands of documents, some of
which, it is said would prove the pack
ing concerns guilty of rebating, have
been burned by the companies in the
stock yards district since the govern
ment started its investigation into the
affairs of Morris & Co., according to
word received by the United States
district attorney. There was quick
action taken by the authorities. Secret
service men were hurried to the stock
yards to learn what employees had sort
ed and burned the documents, and it
Is proposed to subpoena them before
the grand jury. In spite of this at
tempt to block the investigation the
federal authorities are planning to
proceed. There still remain the files
of the railroad companies which con-
tain duplicates of much of the cores
pOndence on the matter Of damage
claims. There is no fear of the rail-
roads burning these for such action
is forbidden by law. J. Ogden Armour
ridiculed the idea that any packing
house of standing would resort to de-
stroying its records because of fear Of
prosecution, although he admitted he
has heard rumor that there had

WILL PASS SENATE
NEXT WEEK
Carey Act Will Thus Be Extended to
New Mexico and Arizona.

Anent the Andrews bill extending
the provisions Of the Carey Act" to
New Mexico and Arizona which has
already passed the House, Delegate
Andrews has an agreement with Sena
tors Penrose, Knox and other senators
to pass this bill through the senate
next week
Delegate Andrews was with Speaker
Cannon about four hours today in
Speaker Cannon's private room, going
over the New Mexico and Arizona
statehood bills. New Mexico and
Arizona each get about eight million
(S,O0O.OO0) acres of public land for
public education.
This will reduce the taxes Of each
territory to one-half of what it is now
as the public land for school purposes
will support the public schools, so that
all taxes for schools may be elimin
ated
The amount of cash will be the next
thing agreed on. Probably about five
million ($5,OO0,000) dollars to each
territory. This ought to reduce the
taxes about another third. The bills
