l state that one Of the delegates from
New Mexico in the Republican national
convention that met in Chicago on
June Is, 1912, was named FREDERICK
Chavez; that he was one of the four
out of eight delegates who were to
vote for Theodore Roosevelt for presi-
dent. On all the ballots however,
seven of the New Mexico delegates
voted for Taft and only one for Roose-
velt. Three of those who were bound
by the compromise agreement to which
they were parties violated their agree
ment and instructions and voted for
Taft instead Of Roosevelt. FREDERICK
Chavez, one of the three. when re-
preached for having violated the
agreement, replied in effect that he
had TO do It. that it was the only way
he could get his cousin. Secundino
Romero. appointed marshal for the
state Of New Mexico. It was subse-
Secundino Romero was nominated for
marshal.
President Taft refused TO appoint or
at least, did not appoint Secundino Ro-
nero when first requested to do so last
January, but left marshal Foraker in
office. IN spite Of the opposition Of the
CID Republican organization in New
Mexico Foraker never enjoyed the
favor Of the old organization. because
ne refused TO allow his deputies to be
used at elections. The revolt of a
large section of the Republican party
against the former methods of the Old
organization in New Mexico is wide
spread"

It has been supposed that the ap-

the purpose of trying the RosenthaI

the supreme court would begin a John

Golf can call gamblers and keepers OF

work Of the supreme court.
Evidence IS in the hands OF the dis

Gang Against Foraker.

c. NJ Foraker has Deen United States
marshal of New Mexico for IA years
In that time>he has incurred the enmity
of the Republican gang because he
refused to permit his office TO be used
as a means of political intimidation,
the charges say, and for this reason
the gang urged his removal and the
atpointmenteof Romero in 1909 Affi-
davits and clippings from newspapers
attestinc to Romero's character were
presented to the president. He re-
fused point blank to make any change
or to consider the name Of Romero.
In January, 1912, by a weird legal
decision. all federal appointments made
under the territorial form of govern
ment were declared ipse facto termi-
mated. Again Romero's name was pre-
scented TO the president Representa-
tive Ferguson called on Mr. Taft to
protest against the appointment He
told MI. Taft, and is said to have
backed his statements up with affi-
davits. that Romero was utterly unfit
for the office He was assured that
the appointment would not be made.
But though this was less than eight
months ago, rthe name was sent to the
senate for confirmation in payment
of the debt contracted in procuring for
Taft his stolen nomination, Ferguson
says.
Here are some of the facts brought
out in the hearings before the senate
committee, taken from sworn testimony
and affidavits.

Romero Assaulted Judge.


While he was sheriff of San Miguel
county on the first state election day,
November Z. 1911. the Democratic COM
mittee in charge learned that men were
in Jail on trumped-up or insufficient
charges, and judge Long, a former chief
justice of the territory of New Mexico,
76 years old and of slight build, was
sent to arrange for the release of the
men on bail. Judge Long weighs about
115 pounds Romero is about 40 years
old and weighs $50 pounds.
Judge Long was admitted by the
iailer and was procuring the names OF
the men when Romero arrived and
asked his business. On being told, Ro-
nero became enraGed and threw the
judge bodily from the building, ending
the affair with a blow on the head
which burst one of the victims ear

hearing, the testimony showed

Two assaults were committed by one

The kaiser's Hobby.
From Strand.

A favorite hobby Of the kaiser's is
painting, and he is a really capable
artist, with a leaning toward seascapes
While at sea he passes much of his
time in sketching and painting, and
examples Of his work are to be seen in
many Of the royal palaces Of Europe.
Most Of the British royal residences
contain at least one picture from his
brush, including Windsor castle, Buck
ingham palace, Balmoral (where a pair
of extremely well drawn shooting pic
lures are ~displayed), Sandringham AMI
Marlborough house. Mention Of these
works of art by the kaiser recalls the
fact that he likewise contributed a
sketch in what may. perhaps, he
termed the vigorously impressionistic'
school to the unique collection that

CHAPTER II.
ONCE MORE THE OBVIOUS.

1919 III
You don't suppose for a moment, I
hope, that a girl like Louisa would nj
low her mind to dwell OF such horrors.
Mysterious crimes in strange cities
and in London, too, for u matter of that
are, alas! Of far too frequent occur
renee to be quite as startling as they
should be.
A day or W. later. Louisa Harris
and her aunt, Lady Ryder. crossed over
to England. They had spent five weeks
in Italy n one in Brussels, not with
a view to dreaming over the beauties
Of the talia lakes, or over the art
treasures collected in the museums of
Brussels, but because Lady Ryder had
had a bronchial catarrh which she could
not shake off and 50 her doctor had or
dered her a thorough change. Bellag-
gio was selected, and Louisa accompa-
MED her. They stayed at the best ho-
tells both in B~ellaggio and in Brussels,
where Lady Ryder a several friends
whom she wished to visit before she
went home.
Nothing whatever happened that
should not have happened; everything
was orderly n well managed: the
courier and the maid saw to tickets and
to luggage. to hotel rooms me sleeping
compartments. 1t was obviously their
mission in life to see that nothing I'M
toward or unexpected happened, but
only the obvious.
1t was clearly not their fault that
Miss Harris had seen a cab in which
al unknown man happened to have
been murdered.
Louisa, with a view to preventing her
aunt from going to sleep after dinner
and thereby spelling her nights rest,
had told her Of the incident which she
had witnessed in the Boulevard Water
loo, and Lady Ryder was genuinely
shocked. She vaguely felt that her
niece had o something unladylike
and odd. which was SO unlike Louisa.

i25,000 AMERICANS GO
TO CANADA IN 1911.
THE YEAR 1912 WILL SHOW A
GREAT INCREASE.

In a report Of the House Committee
Washington) appears the following:
Canada offers q three-year home
stead upon good land, easily reclaimed
and cultivated, with SIX months leave
Of absence each year anu most lenient
regulation p"
All % ghich is true and it ia now
the part of the careful reader to con
slider the opportunities that exist in
Western Canada which, in addition to
the above, are attractive features.
The evidence OF these Is found in the
letters contributed by some Of the
settlers. For instance: A former Min
resotan, writing from Warner, South
ern Alberta, speaks Of that district.
but what he says, applies generally to
all Of Southern Alberta. He says:
Il have seen six crops, four of them
were first class, n Of them a very
good crop, and the other a poor crop.
Government statistics for the last fif-
teen years show that this country has
averaged about fifteen or sixteen
inches Of moisture. In 1910 there was
only seven inches, and in 1911 twenty
two inches. The 1909 crop was about
al good as I have seen in this coun-
try and we had about twelve inches Of
moisture, SO that l I'M thoroughly con.
WINGED that with normal conditions,
that is, from twelve to fifteen inches
Of moisture, and with the natural in
creas Of population and immigration,
that Southern Alberta will be one Of
the very best mixed farming districts
in the world. We have good soil, good
water, and a good climate, and alto
gether just as desirable a country to
live in as Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, or
Wisconsin"
Hundreds Of letters are on file from
former American settlers, which give
good reasons why the Western Can.
ada lands are being settled so rapidly.
Full particulars can be had of any Ca
madam Government Agent. who will
furnish literature and give low rate
certificates. Excursions are being run
