Investigate Sensational AppIi-
cation for Parole.

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Denver, Colo, Dec. 23.-Between
now and the time for the next meeting
of the pardon board, January II, Gov
ernor Shafroth will do great deal
Of personal investigating to determine
Of Sherman W. Morris, alias Sher-
cliffe, that he was railroaded to the
penitentiary, are true.
Morris was convicted, and sentenced
to the penitentiary for twenty-five
years for the murder of John Walsh, a
saloonkeeper at Leadville in 1898.
Morris claims that even if he was
pardoned, unless he was paroled and
kept under the protection of the state
of Colorado, he soon would be in pris-
on again, for there are several other
charges to be made against him in
other states, all at the instigation of
Thomas Dennison, of Omaha, he
claims.
The most notable of these Morris
said, is a charge of committing dia.
mond robbery in Indiana. Morris said
he can produce good support to an
alibi that he was not in the state OF
Indiana when the robbery was COM
mitted.
Dennison, Morris declares, used his
influence effectively to railroad him
to the penitentiary in Colorado.

DISCRIMINATION
IN PANAMA
Hay.Pauncefote Treaty Will
Make Canal Open to
All Nations
GAZETTE GROWS SARCASTIC
British Ships Must Be Given
Same Treatment as
Uncle Sam's.

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
London, Dec. 23.-The Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty of 1902 between Great
Britain and Ireland and the United
States is quoted today against Presi-
dent Taft's suggestion in his mes
sage to Congress that preferential
treatment should be accorded to
American ships passing through the
Panama canal.
After reproducing the clause of ar
ticle III of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
relating that the canal shall be open
to the vessels of all nations on terms
of entire equality in respect of the
conditions on charges of traffic or
otherwise, the Pail Mail Gazettae CON-
ments on President Taft's proposal
as follows:
1T might be good business for the
United States if che could get over
the trifling difficulty that she has
solemnly undertaken that she would
do nothing of the kind. We trust
that Sir Edward Grey, the British for.
eign secretary, will take steps to
make the British view perfectly ex-
plicit and even British Ambassador
Bryce at Washington will for once
show some vigilance on behalf of our
commercial interests"
Clause l of article III of the treaty
referring to the Panama canal which
was proclaimed on February %, 1902,
is textually as follows:
"The canal shall be free and open
to the vessels of commerce and of
war of all nations observing these
rules, on terms of entire equality, so
that there shall be no discrimination
against any such nation, or it's citi
zens or subjects, in respect OF the con.
ditions or charges of traffic or other.
wise. Such conditions and charges of
traffic shall be just and equitable" :"
The rules referred to are those SUBJ
stantially embodied in the convention
OF Constantinople, signed October
2S, 1888, for the free naigation OF the
Suez canal.
