MORTON PRINCE STILL
IN OLD MEXICO
Friend of Bronson Cutting and John
Hays Hammond Is Coming to
DouuIas, Arizona.


Bronson M. Cutting of this city, has
received a letter from Morton Prince,
the young Harvard man who went to
Old Mexico some months ago in the
search of a vacation and adventure.
He states that he is we'll and expects
soon to go to Douglas, Arizona. to
spend some months before visiting
Santa Fe.
Mr.. Prince went to Sonora, Old Mex,
leo, to live on the immense estate in
which John Hays Hammond the world
famed mining engineer is interested.
He intended to write war news for the
New Mexican as well as other papers,
but his letters to newspapers, so far,
have been like the proverbial angels
visits. Mr. Prince, however, has been
travelling all over the Republic and nc
doubt has had more adventures than
time would permit to describe accur
ately. And then, there is the so-callet
press censorship" which may neces
state discreet silence about the insur
gent victories.
When he gets across the border in
to Arizona, on United States soil NJ
Prince may give some interesting in
terviews on the war situation in Oh
Mexico, as seen and understood by
conservative citizen of the Unite,
States, who has lived under the POI
firio Diaz government.

In the district court for Bernalillo
county yesterday afternoon, George S.
Klock, who had been removed as dis
trict attorney by Governor William j.

recent decision of the New Mexico SUI
preme court, filed motion for custer
against Judge Edward A. Mann, who
had been appointed by Governor Mills
to succeed Klock, to remove Judge
Mann as district attorney in which
capacity the latter is still officiating.
The mandate of the supreme court in
the case had not yet reached Albu-
Querque yesterday. The situation will
be simplified, however, by the an.
nouncement of district attorney ap
polntment by Governor Mills in the
near future as Klock's term hase ex
pired, although Klock maintains tha
under the Enabling Act, all territorial
officers, including district attorney,
are to remain in Office until the stat,
officers supersede them.

Mysterious Movement of Ca

Mysterious Movement of Cattle
A week or ten days ago a mysterious
movement of cattle began in the
Burro mountains, Grant county, large
numbers of them punching together
and starting in southwesterly direc-
ton. A cowboy reported he crossed
a big trail that appeared to him must
have been made by the passing of five
thousand head. They were headed
southwest and when they reached the
right of way fence along the A. & N.
NJ. railroad, they broke through it and
kept on moving. Cattlemen discover.
ing the movement hustled out their
cowboys and the latter got busy
checking the progress of cattle and
turning them back TO their range

: the movement, but could give no ex
planation

Wright Bi-PIane a Success.
San Antonio, Texas, March %
The flying machine section of the sig
nal corps has demonstrated that the
Wright biplane is both serviceable and
safe in all kinds of weather and in al
most all speeds of wind. Flights were
made yesterday in doWnpour Of rain
that was almost binding at times and
when the aviators lighted great pools
OF water stood in many places in the
army camp. During the period of
half an hour, the macnine being in the
air most of the time, almost one half
inch of water had fallen. In the teeth
OF a binding wind and beating rain,
Lieutenant Foulois drove his machine
at many angles, rose to great height,
and then descended again, showing
plainly that he had the biplane under
control and that it is serviceable at
any time. No feature of the encamp-
ment here has attracted SO much at.
tention and promises more that will
be generally beneficial to the people
at large and also to the army than
the operations and maneuvers of the
flying machine. Lieutenant Foulois
appears to be able to perform any
task assigned him and is as much
at home in the air and apparently
quite as safe as a man in an outomo
bile on the earth.

WAS CHRISTOPHER
COLUMBUS FAkIR?
Historian Asserts That He Was in the
Same Glass With DR.. Frederick
Cook.

Paris, March 23-Simultaneously
with the erection of colossal statue
in honor of Christopher Columbus at
Buenos Ayres, will be published here
on Saturday two volumes of work
by Henry Vignaud, in which Columbus
is branded an imposter and humbug
and placed in class with explorers
like Dr. Frederick Cook.
Mr. Vignaud retired from the Amer
ican embassy two years ago and has
since devoted his entire time to the
completion of study of Columbus,
which has consumed in all fifty years.
The author is now 81 years old. He
is celebrated as a historian and was
recently consulted by the pope when
it was proposed to canonize Columbus.
At that time, it is said, Vignaud show
ed that the explorer was anything but
sanity man, and that he had at
least one illegitimate son.
In his study of Columbus, Mr.. Wig
maud undertakes to prove that the ex-
plorer's discovery of America was not
the result of his own genius; that the
expedition was not based upon scien-
tific data, but that Columbus actually
learned of the existence of America
from, an ignorant sailor, who had
been there ahead of him. In word
that America was discovered long be,
fore Columbus ever organized his ex
pedition, and that he merely took the
credit from another man unknown to
history.
The story that Toscanelli wrote a
letter to Columbus, inclosing a chart
showing the routes across the-Atlantic
and that it was with this in hand thai
Columbus started out to find the new
world, is disposed of by Vignaud
He declares that Toscanelli's letter
was forgery, perpetrated by Colum
bus himself, but more probably by
the explorers brother, Bartholomew
Columbus. Vignaud says in 1871 {
copy of the forged letter was fount
in blank page of a book once tn
explorers property. This is undoubted
ly in Columbus writing, says Vignaud
A fac-simile of the document is pub
lished in Vignaud's work.
Vignaud further undertakes to prov.
that the map used by Columbus coul
not have come from Toscanelli, be
cause it contained exact information
which no amount of scientific think
ing could have adduced, but whic
only could have been learned from az
tual experience.
Vignaud says Columbus not infrt
quently acted in a manner which re1
ders it possible to suspect him of dt
ception. He says the explorer col
cealed the lowness of his origin, tha
he boasted he was descended frol
other admirals of the name of Colun
bus, though it has been discovered th
. men in question were not even of hi
nationality, one being Greek and tn
= other Frenchman; that he boaste
. of having served under King Rene {
: Anjou, while modern critics prove b
did not; that he often referred I
wonderful voyages he had made in HI
youth, while facts show these stat
9 ments to be wholly untrue.
