CADETS AS SLEUTHS.
They Search For Lad Who Feels Call
to EvangeIize Indians.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-Members of the
Paulist cadets attached to st. Mary s
Catholic church have been detailed
temporarily as detectives in a city-wide
search for a boy missing from his
home in Dorchester, Mass, who is be-
heved to be in Chicago. Rev. Peter L.
O'Reagan, attached to st. Mary's
church, was recently interested in the
case of Joseph E. Hubbard, Is years
old, the missing boy, and through his
offices the cadets were put on their
novel search.
A strange story of how the boy
thought he had received a special call
to evangelize the American Indian, a
mission he regarded so seriously he
ran away from home and family, was
told by Father 0Reagan.
For years Joseph Hubbard has be-
lieved it his mission in life to go west
and preach the gospel to the Indians .
said the priest. He has a good home
and loving parents. He had planned
to study for the priesthood but short.
ly after the first of July he decided
apparently that he could wait no long
er, and on July 6 he left Boston bound
for the west. It is believed he had
money to get him as far as Chicago,
but no trace of him has been found.
1.-The lad is of a deep religious dis
position. He is sturdy and willing to
work, and is probably engaged at
something in an effort to make more
money to take him further west
Father O'Reagan said a special
search was being made among circuses
and wild west shows where there were
known to be Indians.

LONGEVITY CAUSES INSANITY.
New Theory Advanced by Head of New
York Lunacy Board.

New York, Aug. 22.-Dr. Albert w.
Ferris, president of the New York
lunacy commission thinks that one of
the chief causes of the increased num-
Der of insane in the United States is to
be found in..the increased longevity of
race. In a report just made pub
lie here he says: THAT the attention
has been drawn to the fact that the
race is longer lived. In 1910 the aver
age age at death was about 25 years.
'At 1900 the average age increased
to 34.5 years, thus bringing more peo-
pie into the third decade of life, which
is the most fruitful decade in insanity.
The number of insane. properly to be
expected in 1900 deduced from this
basis of deaths and age distribution in
1910 is 27.S per cent greater than in
1910.
''Thus do the ref1nements of medi-
cine so unfortunately for the race and
so satisfactorily for the idividual prop
up and fortify young. people with fee
BILE constitutions until they can marry,
thus aiding in the service of the unfit
and augmenting the number of insane

Those in Net Accuse Others of jury
and Assembly Fixing.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 22.-The start
ling charge that present ofnclals OF
the Illinois Central road were the CEN
trail figures in the famous Coughlin
jury bribing case. and put up the
money to get big Dan" Coughlin
out of the country, has been the hrst
move on the part of the lawyers for
the three men arrested in connectlon
with the graft scandal.
The charges, accompanied by
wealth of detail, names of witnesses
and addresses of men interested in the
case were drawn up in the ofilces OF
Knight Reid & Tyrrell, representing
the former officials of the Illinois Cen
trail now under arrest, were forwarded
to States Attorney Wayman for grand
Jury investigation.
But the most significant feature of
this move was the ,undenied informa-
ton that the defense of the men held
responsible for the $1,5Oe,OOO graft
will make their defense that this
money, as far as they know, was not
stolen at all.
on the contrary, their lawyers will
insist much of it was used by the rail-
road for improper and Illegal pur-
poses. 1t will be charged that much
of the money was used to influence
legislation. and, as is charged in the
notorious Coughlin case, to fix jurors
Both President ]. T. Harahan and
John G. Drennon, general counsel for
the railroad, were named speclhcalIy
in the charges drawn up and forward
ed to the states attorney by the law
yers, denied the new charges in great
detail. Moreover, they denied that 1t
would be possible to show that
single dollar of the roads money had
been Illegally expended to influence
legislation.
On the other hand, the charges
were answered by the assertion that
this was a club to stop the prosecu-
ton of Frank B. Hartman, Charles
L. Ewing and John M. Taylor, the
men now under arrest.
President Harahan told of visit to
his office of an emissary of the ac-
cused men some weeks ago, who made
the offer that no effort would be made
to stop the civil suits of the road, but
'if efforts to put our clients in jail
are persisted in, we will show up this
Coughlin case" at simply told them
to go ahead" said Mr.. Harahan. Il
told Mr. Mcclure of the Mcguire &
White Detective agency, who called
upon L.. that we were going ahead to
prosecute every one of the men who
were involved in the grating.
IT explained that I couldn't have
known anything about the Coughlin
case in any event, simply because that
didn't come under my department at
that time. That came under the SUI
perVision of Mr.. Fish, who, of course,
is no longer here"

Notes From the Courts.

Appeal bond of $1,000 was required
of Ben Jordan in police court Satur-
day afternoon by Judge S. S. Urmy,
when Jordan gave notice that he
would carry his liquor selling case,
which had just ended in his conviction
upon two counts, to the district court.
Jordan, who is said to be 79 years old,
has probably had more liquor selling
cases in police court than any other
similar offender in Kansas and the
heavy bond is in recognition of his long
and meritorious services in keeping the
police busy.
On Saturday afternoon several po-
hcemen raided Ed McDonald's house
on the banks of Shunganunga creek on
East Fifteenth street and, in his alb
sence, got barrel or two of beer and
his ice chest. A half hour later De-
tectives Sauls and Ross found Ed driv-
ing his own express wagon from a de-
pot with two more barrels of beer and,
under their direction, the contraband
goods were delivered to notice head
quarters. Mcdonald, who wore an ex-
pressmanS badge on his hat, protest
ed that he was delivering the beer for
some one else but his explanation
aroused only unfeeling mirth from
those who heard it.
Nine cash bonds of SO each were
registered on the police station dock
ct yesterday. the givers having been
booked for shooting craps and disor-
derby conduct. 1t means $50 as the
result of the days work by the police

WITH HIS HEAD BROKEN
Well Dressed Man Found in Rear OF a
Boarding House.

New York, Aug. 22.-Stylishly dress
ed and we'll supplied with money, a
man, in whose pockets were visiting
cards engraved Bert Vanderbilt,
Lambs club was found in the rear of
a theatrical boarding house on West
Forty-second street. His skull was
fractured and he has not regained con-
seriousness. At the Lambs club it was
denied that any Bert Vanderbilt was a
member.
The police have taken into custody
Edith linen, a chorus girl, KID
Broad. pugilist, and his chum, Ralph
Gillespie. The linen girl told the po-
lice that Vanderbilt was trying to en-
ter her room on the third floor by
stepping over from Breads window to
the window ledge of her room and
that he fell into the yard. Broad
says he was not in his room.
The name of Vanderbilt is believed
by the police to be a fictitious one and
Acting District Attorney Moss says he
thinks Miss Beryl Vernon of 1872 Pine

visiting at the Forty-second street
house, knows the identity of the man

MONROE HAS MILD PROTEST.
Deputy Sheriff's Laurels in Dog Fight
Were Credited to Another.

Henry Monroe, the colored deputy
sheriff whose countenance has become
familiar around the county court
house by reason of his years of ser
vice in the treasurer's and sheriff's Of
fees, feels that he has been wronged
by the reporters. The other night
Monroe discovered that the peace and
dignity of Tennesseetown, where he
lives, was being violated by dog fight.
Monroe grabbed the animals by the
scruff of their necks, but in so doing
he exposed his hands and they were
badly bitten. He has been under a
physicians care since.
The reporter who got the STORY
was informed that it had been Henry
O'Gee of North Topeka. a deputy
game warden who not long ago re-
ceived stab wounds in the back while
keeping a bicycle rider off the side
walks. and Henry O'Gee's name was
used where Monroe's should have been.
Seeing the honors of war go to the
wrong man was adding insult to the
deputy's already grievous injuries and
he protested mildly.

Boston is the only city that stands

FOR number of years the territory
of New Mexico has been using
It's convicts and special appro-
prlations, for the construction Of Il
system Of roads intended to traverse
the territory from north to south, con-
Meeting with Colorado roads i'm the vi
cnhy of Trinidad, and with Texas
roads at Anthony, 20 miles north of
El Paso.
The territory makes the heavy rock
cuts, surveys all the road, and leaves
the counties to care for the lighter
grading along the route. This road is
now practically complete from the Col
orado state line to Las Vegas, and be-
tween Las Vegas and Santa Zee, through
great ranges of mountains, much heavy
work has been done.

Mining, Sheep, livestock.
The mining industry has been partic-
ularly active In all the mining districts
The sheep industry continued to be
one of the most productive Of the year,
as the prices Of lambs and wool were
greatly improved over 1908, and the
landings were good and the wool crop
satisfactory. Thousands OF sheep
raisers increased their holdings during
the year and yet marketed a sufficient
quantity OF their new stock to make
the total receipts from the industry
exceed those of any year of the past.
The total receipts from wool, lembs
and other sources Of the industry are
not yet available, but that they have
been entirely satisfactory Is conceded.
With the exceptions of isolated Sec
lions, the cattle industry made good
returns for the year. The exceptions

were in strip of territory extending
from point on the Rio Grande near
the center of the territory to the south
west, all the way over into Arizona.
In this strip OF territory the rainfall
was not what it usually is, which, COM
bined with an overstocking Of ranges,
caused some losses. Prices were general
~ better in 1909 than in 1908, and as
rule the policy of selling all ones and
twos was closely adhered to. This sell
ing of all the steers one,and two years
old brought a large sum OF money into
the territory from eastern buyers and
assisted materially in swelling the pros
perlty of the year.
Irrigation Projects.
The year 1909 In New Mexico was
marked by a tremendous increase in the
number of irrigation projects put on
foot. Under the territorial laws il is
possible for private enterprise to secure
certain rights to the waters OF streams
and the flood waters and under the
