in the stand he took for what he con-
ceived to be right. On May 19, 1907,
he was appointed assistant in the Of
flee Of Attorney General j. M. Hervey
and has since been of valuable service
in that department. Last August he
was admitted to the practice OF law
before the territorial supreme court
after highly credtable examination
for which he had prepared himself not
only by hard study but by the expert
ence of decade of service in posi-
tions that brought him into contact
with the legal phases Of many varied
activities. Mr.. Shearon was married
in Nebraska five years ago. and with
Mrs. Shearon occupies cozy home in
this city, with whose interests he has
identified himself and for which he
boosts in season and out of season.
The Daily New Mexican is certain that
albright future and many honors, po-
litical and otherwise, await Mr..
Shearon, who has proved himself a
stalwart Republican and man who
keeps his political faith even in the
sight of temptations from those who
would have him be an apostate.'
Will Be Assistant Postmaster.
Mr. Shearon will select as assistant,
a very able and competent citizen, in
the person of Percy F. Knight, assist
ant cashier of the United States Bank
and Trust company in this city. Mr..
Shearon and Mr.. Knight will make
splendid team who will give the post
Office an efficient administration and
certainly will leave nothing undone to
please the public. Mr.. Knight, like
Postmaster Walter, came to Santa Fe
from South Bethlehem Pennsylvania,
where he had held number of re-
sponsible positions. He was born in
Bethlehem, 35 years ago, and received
his education in the public schools of
that historic old city. For number
of years he held responsible finan-
cial and clerical position with the
Bethlehem Steel company, one of the
largest steel manufacturing concerns
in the world, with a payroll exceeding
100000 year, Mr.. Knight having
charge of the paymaster's clerical
force. Upon coming to Santa Fe, Mr..
Knight was appointed chief superin-
tendent of telegraphs of the Santa Fe
Central Railway company as he is one
of the swiftest telegraph operators in
the Southwest. He resigned to accept
the position of manager of the New
Mexican Printing company, succeeding
Charles Stauffer, brother of the pres
ent manager, John K Stauffer. He re-
signed to accept the position of assist
ant cashier of the United States Bank
and Trust company when that COM
pany was organized. Mr.. Knight is an
active Mason, a member of the Board
of Trade and is we'll liked in a busi-
ness way and socially. He recently
built himself a beautiful home on Pal
ace avenue. He has wife and two
children.

FURNISHINGS FOR
EXECUTIVE MANSION
Initial Appropriation Of Six Thousand
Dollars Will Be Asked
For Purpose.

The joint committee of both Houses
and the Capitol Extension Commission
have agreed to recommend an ex-
penditure Of six thousand dollars for
the furnishing of the Executive Man
sion which is rapidly nearing compile
tion. The rst estimate had been $9,-
900 but upon recommendation Of Gov
ernor Curry, who believes that the
executives should furnish their own
silver, china and linen, the sum was
scaled down one-third. Arthur Selig-
man, now in the east, will be com
missioned probably to purchase the
furniture which will be substantial
as well as elegant and will conform
with the period of architecture repre-
scented by the mansion.

the House and the Senate committees
on territories have agreed to give the

acres Of public lands to pay off the

that either the House or the Senate
will reduce this acreage but hard
work to prevent this will be done by

by other friends of New Mexico, and
later on by Governor Curry and 9th

ly favorable for the passage of the

Especial to The New Mexican.)


Washington, D. c., Jan. 27.-The
appointment of Frank W. Shearon, to
succeed Paul A. F. Walter, resigned,
as postmaster at Santa Fe, was sent
to the Senate yesterday afternoon and
was promptly confirmed in executive
session, Mr.. Shearon having number
of personal friends in the Senate, in
Guiding the senators from Nebraska,
who took pleasure in confirming the
appointment.
Santa Fe is to be congratulated upon
securing for postmaster so efficient a
citizen, as Mr.. Shearon, who at pres
ent is holding the responsible position
of assistant attorney general of the
territory. AS postmaster he will have
to interpret frequently the postal laws
and regulations and his legal educa-
ton and experience will come in
good stead and prevent his stumbling
into pitfalls that new postmasters Of
ten encounter in this very phase of
the position. Mr.. Shearon's predeces-
sor, Mr.. Walter, is an attorney and
counted his legal education as an as
set for the postal service. Mr..
Shearon, like his predecessor, is still
a young man, who possesses the con-
fidence of the business community as
well as of the Republican party to
which he owes his appointments The
New Mexican can do no better than
to re-publish the brief biographical
sketch printed by it last Thursday and
add thereto half-tone picture of Mr..
! Shearon:
Assistant Attorney General F. w.
Shearon, assistant in the office of At
torney General ]. M. Hervey, has al.
ready made name for himself in the
political annals of the territory, to
which he came little over four years
| ago as healthseeker. He is only
| thirty-three years of age but has seen
considerable public service and pos
sesses a natural aptitude for the law,
the so-called illegal mind" He is a
native of Fairbury, Neb., where he at
tended the public schools. He gradu-
ated from the Lincoln Normal Univer.
sity, and was appointed court reporter
of the First judicial district, Nebraska,
which position he held several years,
resigning it to accept the position OF
chief clerk in the law department of
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad at Lincoln, Neb. III health
compelled him to leave his native
state for New Mexico, where he soon
regained strength and made host of
political and personal friends through
his straightforwardness and courage
of his convictions. He was chief clerk
in the Office of former Commissioner
of Public Lands A. A. Keen, and was
the principal figure around whom was
waged the memorable fight that re-
suited in the resignation Of former
Governor Hagerman. Mr. Shearon, in
that episode, refused to be intimidated
