 "The one great and sOrrOwful regret of my brother was that he had sub mitted to the demand of that, the worst gang of plunderers that ever in- feSted this or any other capital, and my wrong. and for it I have always been ashamed and sincerely sorry, was in standing by and permitting the thing to be done instead of then and there denOuncing it.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the transaction occurred nearly nine years ago, since which time 1 have been elected to my present position in this body and so under the precedents can not be removed therefrom, and not withstanding the fact that it is con- trary to sound public policy and is in the interests of wrongdoers that any one who makes known or assists in bringing to punishment official wrong doing shall be punished, I am informed that it is now proposed by some of your members to appoint a committee which shall prepare and present to this body charges against me Ostensi- bly, because of my connection with the transaction ill the year 1901 but in truth and in fact because of what have done this year at your request and at the instigation of one who at the time was a member of this body, and that a trial of such charges is now proposed to be had and an attempt made to eXpel me as member of this body.

Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1910-11-11

Mayor Jose D. Sena, they still call
him mayor though he relinquished
that Office this spring, is native of
Santa Fe but he Is also Santa Fean
by inclination and by choice. For many
years and he is still a young man, he
has exercised sort of an unofficial su-
zerainty over the ancient city and has
done it unselfishly and patriotically. 1t
seems that ever since he is out of
knickerbockers he has been either al
derman, school director or mayor but
no matter what the Office and there
is no salary attached to any of the
three, he has worked hard and effect
lively for a better and greater Santa
Fe. He took the cussings of the irate
taxpayer meekly and kept pegging
away, butting into everything that ap-
pertained to the progress of his be-
loved Santa Fe. That is one side of
the man, there are others. His IA
mily, his church and his people are
the triology that he will defend like
a tiger, and the man who has the
temerity or the thoughtlessness to for.
get this, finds that Joe" can be Tar
tar. Mr.. Sena has been clerk of the
Supreme Court of New Mexico from
time immemorial and although judges
have come and gone in constant pro-
cession, he remained on the job be-

cause he had made himself indispen-
sible, strictly attended to business,
and it was only on one day of his en-
tire official career that he went into
the court room without having the
record of the preceding days session
not written up and that was on ac-
count of sickness in his family. Mr.
Sena takes to the political game as
fish takes to water and what is
more he plays the game fair. 1t is
easy for him to be elected to Office
and help others to be elected to Of
fee and he always does it on the
level He has had many honors,
delegateships and municipal Offices.
He even worked in the last consti-
tutiona1 delegation, and that may
have helped him to that degree of
usefulness which he has manifested
in the present one He is affable, gal
liant, courteous even though he flares
up occasionally in defense of causes
that are dear to his heart. What
place he will occupy in the state un-
der the new order of things, the New
Mexican does not pretend to prophesy
but he will not be an idle factor in
the upbuilding of the commonwealth
and whether in the ranks or in the
lead he will work like Trojan for
New Mexico and it's Capital.

Mexico City, Nov. 10,-To guard
against the possible repetition of an
anti-American rioting. the Govern
ment today issued orders forbidding
bull fights next Sunday. Quiet pre-
vailed in this city this morning. Ad-
vices from Guadalajara confirm last

actuated by the same unfriendliness
toward Americans. At Guadalajara a
mob of students and others started
for the American consulate crying
Death to Gringos" (or Yankees).
The police prevented the rioters from
reaching the consulate, but after list
ening to inflammatory speeches the
crowd vented its wrath on property
owned by Americans Windows were
smashed at the office of the American
bank The masonic hall and the quart
ers of the American candy company,

NEW METHOD OF
CHARGING FOR cABLEGRAMs

New York, Nov. 11.-An inquiry
having been made of Clarence H.
Mackay, president of the Commercial
Gable Company and the Postal Tele-
graph Cable Company as to the rum
ors of pending reduction-in cable
rates. Mr. Mackay said: "The Com
mercial Cable Company has been at
work for some time past in formulat-
| ing a plan by which the rates for ca
Diagrams sent by the general public,
in other words, cablegram in plain
language as distinguished from code
language, be reduced about one-half.
That plan has now been worked out,
and inasmuch as it will require the CO.
operation of the telegraph lines in
Europe, where the governments own
the lines, our plan involves proper
| tionate reduction in the land line rates
charged by the European governments
and hence the cooperation of those
governments will be necessary.
At present the cable rate is twenty
five cents per word. The proposed
plan is to charge twelve and half cents
for every FIVE letters in that class of
cablegrams. We have found by care
full investigation and examination of
a great number of cable messages that
plain language averages only five let
ters to the word and hence if we
charge only twelve and a half cents
for five letters (every letter in the
cablegram being counted as though
the whole cablegram was one word)
the result would be that the public in
sending cablegrams would pay but
one-half of what it now pays for these
cablegrams, it being part of the plan
that these reduced rate messages
would be subject to prior transmits
sion of messages paid for at higher
rate. We hope to be able to put the
plan into operation in short time.
1t being necessary first to make ar
rangements with the European govern
ments. / would add that this new
mode of charging for cablegrams will
be of decided advantage also to the
business public which uses code, in
asmuch as it will be inducement to
them to put portion at least of their
cablegrams in plain language rather
than use very complicated code
which requires great deal Of time on
their part first to code and then un.
code. After the most careful consid
Grafton and study of the whole sub
ject, we are satisfied that this new
method of charging for cablegrams
will not only reduce the charges for
ordinary cablegrams one-half but that
the plan itself will be logical, simple
workable and satisfactory.

WIckERsHAM AFTER THE
SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
May Bring Suit to Compel Big Rail.
road to Give Up 5000 Acres
Of Oil Lands.

Washington, Nov. 11-Attorney
General Wickersham by direction of
President Taft, has begun an inquiry
to determine whether 5000 acres of
valuable oil lands in California were
known to contain oil when they were
patented to the Southern Pacific rail-
road. If such was the case, suit to re-
cover will be instituted.
This is the beginning of many SINH
lar suits. The allegation has been
made to the President that many thou
sand acres of public lands have been
patented to individuals with the
knowledge they contained oil and in
many cases, they have found their
way into the hands of corporations. A
complete search of the records will be
made by the department of justice and
if the results warrant proceedings will
be brought for the restoration to the
public domain of all lands so patent.

WHY BOWLING GREEN
is cUPlD'S DELIGHT.

DR.. J. N. Mccormack arrived here
today from Bowling Green, KY, and
will lecture tonight at the court house.
Asked why his home city is called cu-
pid's delight he replied: 1--WE have
eight educational institutions there for
young men and women and we have
the finest trousseau maker in America.
Is not that sufficient explanation"
DR.. Mccormack paid a tribute to
the physicians of New Mexico say
ing: II sometimes wonder why there
are so many excellent physicians SO
far away from their native home but
doubtless it is because it takes mighty
good men to have the courage to cross
the continent and begin practice in a
new country. 1t is certainly delight
to meet the members of the medical
profession have run across since
came into your sunshine state"
