Tyler, Texas, May 25.-Dan Davis,
a negro, was burned to death at
stake in the streets of Tyler early to-
day after he had confessed to assault
ing Miss Carrie Johnson of this city
a week ago. Two thousand persons
participated in the lynching.
Davis had signed a statement con-
Tossing to the assault, but before the
match was touched to the pile of
wood on which the negro had been
bound by the mob he was asked again
if he were guilty.
~ Am Guilty.
Il am guilty he cried and a mo.
nent later the flames were leaping
high about his head. Davis was
brought here early today from Attn
ems, Texas. When members of the
sheriff's posse arrived at the Jail with
the negro, they were confronted by
several hundred citizens, who waited
until the black had written his confes-
sion, then demanded tnat he be turn
ed over to them.
Officers Surrendered to Mob.
Officers and many citizens protest
ed but finally surrendered the negro
to the mob, whose numbers made
protest useless, the officers say
From the Jail the prisoner was lead
to the public square, where several
wagon loads of wood had been piled.
He was tied to. a rail and after he re-
iterated his confession, a match was
applied and the flames enveloped
him. The mob stood around the fire
until it had died down and little was
left but charred bones and ashes.
Lynchers Worked Quietly.
The work of the lynchers was done
quickly and quietly. The determina-
tion of the men who had the execu-
tion in charge appeared to have a
SOLDERING effect opon them.

You may have had very good cause
for not mentioning these, satisfactory
to yourselves, but it is not plain or
satisfactory to me.
The people of New Mexico, in my
opinion, have right to know for what
purpose and for what services they
are paying this money. Such a meth
cd of paying officers and employees
would not, in my opinion, make a
good precedent to be followed in
transacting the business of the state.
The lump sum of $14,700. to pay
contingent and incidental expenses
of this commission seems to me 10 be
excessive and unwarranted, when con-
sidering the work that has been done
and the expenses incurred up to date
since January 18th. From the best
evidence obtainable, the total ex-
.penses of this commission for the
four and a half months from Janu-
ary 18th to June 1st, including as
sistants, incidental expenses and ev-
erything, will not exceed $4,000 actual
expenses. The appropriation for the
six months, from June 1st to Novem-
ber 30th, would therefore be in the
neighborhood of $4,000.
1t may be said in explanation and
| justification of this legislotion, that it
is difficult to ascertain what the eX-
penses may be for the next six
months. 1t appears, however, from
| the bill that you were able to make
exact figures on the salaries of the
officers, assistants and subordinates
who are not mentioned.
| According to the best evidence at
hand at the present time. the commits
sion has employed up to date chief
clerk at $4,000 per annum, and assist
ants at $4,000 per annum and three
clerks at SIS per month each. This
statement was made to me by mem
ber of the commission. These three
clerks have not been employed all the
time. / believe that the total pay tc
assistants, etc, for the first four ant
a half months will not exceed $1,000
and this includes the salary of wei
paid official, who has done very little
in any actual work for this commits
sion.
In addition to the appropriation
provided in this bill for the corpora
ton commission, there is now bill
before the legislature making the OF
fee of insurance commissioner en-
tirely under its control anI at an eS
pense of something like $4,000 more.
1t seems to me that legislation ca
be enacted so that the taxpayers vii
have better understanding of tn
purposes for which their money is t
be expended in maintaining what ma
possibly turn out to be an expensiv
i luxury. 1t is not my purpose or d.
g sire to interfere in any manner wit
the proper provision for the paymer
e of officials and employees create
o and provided for by our constitutio
= and the laws of our state, nor do OF
5 pose reasonable expenses, but cal

GRAND OPERA CO.
IS TO TOUR WEST

Chicago, Dec. 18.-The Chicago
Grand Opera company is going on
tour. Three hundred strong, in three
special trains with Is baggage cars,
it will carry grand opera to sections
of the United States that never. have
dreamed of such good fortune.
Never in the history of musical art
on this side of the Atlantic has such
a stupendous undertaking been at
tempted, for all of the stars of the
present Chicago season-with the ex-
ception of Titta Ruffo-will make the
trip.
Negotiations to make the tour pos.
sitle have been on for a year and
yesterday they reached a point where
the positive announcement could be
made.
To the sentimental ambition of one
man the launching of the enterprise
in a great measure, is attributable. He
is w, H. Leahy, director the Tivoli
opera house in San Francisco. Mr.
Leahy, who is now in Chicago, is
known as the man who discovered
Tetrazzini for the United States
On Jan. 9, 1905, Madame Tetrazzini
made her first American appearance at
the Tivoli The opera was 'Rigoletto.' "
Mr.. Leahy had heard the acknowledg.
ed queen of all the worlds sopranos
in the City of Mexico He set his
mind on having her sing in his opera
house But he could not get TetrazZini
unless he imported the whole Italian
company and that he did George
Polacco, now conducting at the Met
ropolitan opera house in New York
was the musical director.
The Tivoli was destroyed in the
fire of 1906. Now it has been rebuilt
by Mr.. Leahy at cost of 100000. Or
March II next the new Tivoi will be
opened with "Rigoletto" the bill and
I4uisa Tetrazzini the star.
