TIE report of the travelling auditor
on the condition Of Affairs in Eddy

commotion In both counties, and
there was much indignation expressed
among the county officers at the re-
ports, 1t being claimed that the coun-
ty affairs we're in good shape and the
auditor entirely wrong, Much space
has been devoted to the report in the
county papers, and they seem to
think that they have proved the au-

DURING his term Of ONCE Pres

Taft. This order required an ex-
animation for all fourth class ofices

the compensation was more than $50

order the civil service commission
will hold examinations In New Mex.

The case Of Thomas P. CLARK against
the Arizona & New Mexico railroad
has been appealed to the Supreme
Court Of the United States. Some
years ago Clark was working for the
company as an engineer, and wes
switching some carr. Some were left
on a grade without the brakes being
firmly set, and they started down the
grade and colllded with the engine,
Clark being hurt. He claimed he had
lost the use Of one eye from the col
llsion, and wanted big damages. The
railroad company, which is always
very generous with It's employees, Of
fered him $4,000 aud a life Job on the
switch engine. This he refused, and
sued the company for s45, 900 damages.
The case was tried before Judge
Sloan where a verdict for $4,000 was
given Clark, and the two points Of
error on which 1t is going to the su.
preme court are as follows: Shortly
after the accident the company had
its oculist, DR.. Stark, of FL Paso, ex-
anime Clark, and he was prepared 70
testify that the blind eye had been
blind for some years, and the blind
ness had not been caused by the &C
cldent. Under the Arizona laws a
doctor cannot testify regarding his
patient, unless the patient gives him
permission, aud Clark refused to let
DR.. Stark testify. The company
claimed Clark was not DR.. Stark's
patient, but that the doctor was an
expert In the employ Of the company.
Judge Sloan refused TO admit the doc
tors evidence. The other point was
a ruling under the liability act. 1t
formerly was the law that II an &C
cident was caused by the injured
paFty's negligence he could not TecoV-
Congress passed the liability act
which provided that the eontrlbutoTy
negligence of the injured party was
no bar to recovery, but further pro-
vided that II contributoTy negligence
was proved 1t was to be taken into
consideration, and the amount Of the
damages given should be reduced In
proportion IS the negligence con-
tributed 70 the accident. Judge
In his charge, ruled that this
negligence must be proved to be de-
liberate, pTemedltated and with sui
cidSl intent, which, Of course Is prac-
impossible to prove In any case.
J Judge Mcfarland has been fighting
the case for years, and has at last got
1t into the Supreme court, where he
to get q new trial, and, II DR..
Stark's testimony is admissible he
will prove Clark had been blind IN
one eye for years. II by any 1uke
Clark should win he would have TO
pay all his expenses In the case, and
what he got from the company
with his lawyer. He would
have been money ahead II he had &C
the offer OF settlement made
BY the company. He Is now living 10

The special session Of Congress
which has been trying to do business
since last spring, will come to an end
tomorrow or next day, and the regular
session will be open next Monday.
For all the months Of work there was
only M bill Of any moment passed,
the new tariff bill. Strenuous efforts
were made TO pass the currency bill,
but IL never got through, and IL ia
thought IL will not pass before Feb
ruary. During the last two months
nothing has been done, ~ the cur
rency bill was being worked over by
the senate committee and the dem
Ocratic leaders would allow no other
business to be transacted. The dem.
ocratic leader in the house wanted to
make an agreement with Represen-
tative Mann by which no business
would be transacted, and most Of the
members could 90 home, with the
knowledge that the other side would
put nothing over In the meantime.
Representative Mann said there was
3 lot Of work that ought TO be done,
work that was non-partlzan, and II
the house was to remain In session IL
might just as we'll attend to this
work. Leader Underwood Of the dem
ocrats, would not agree to this, and so
the house would meet, and agree to
adjourn for three days. the longest
time II can adjourn for, and meet
again. When the house vas In ses-
sion II q republican tried to bring
some matter up Leader Underwood
would move to adjourn, which would
be carried. II democrat tried to
bring up some partizan matter Leader
Mann would claim there was no quo
present, and that would force an
adjournment. Every session on the
motion to adjourn Leader Mann
would insist On calling the roll, which
made a permanent record Of who was
present, and when the next campaign
comes he has an accumulation Of ev-
idence to show how little work q
congress can accomplish.
Representative Ferguson stayed
through the sessions, aud answered
all the roll calls. In the senate, as In
the house, there was nothing doing,
and Senators Catron and Fall re-
turned to New Mexico.

ARRESTED IN HIS STORE
ON "RECEIVING" CHARGE

An important arrest was made to-
day by the federal authorities upon
the complaint of United States Ex-
press Company officials when Andrew
j. Kelly, proprietor of a music and
camera store, was charged with re-
ceiving goods stolen from the COM
pany. United States Deputy Marshal
Louis G. Beekman took Kelly into
custody at the latter's place of bust
ness, So Summit avenue, Jersey City
States Commissioner Richard Stock
ton in this city Kelly was released in
$1,000 bail for a hearing next Tues
day. According to the detectives of
the express company, the arrest of
Kelly has solved the mystery of the
disappearance of many express pack
ages in the past few months.
Two employees of the company who
were recently arrested for stealing
from the Communipaw wharf station
of the company in Jersey City are
alleged to have implicated Kelly in
the thefts. The employees were John
Connelley, of Jersey City. and Charles
Waters, of Greenville. Connelley was
employed as a porter and his COM
panion as a clerk in the lost package
department. 1t is claimed that Con-
nelley tore the addresses from pack
ages and had them sent to Waters
in the lost articles department.
From this department the goods
are alleged to have been struggled
from the depot and sold. For some
time the detectives of the express
company had been trying to locate
the receiver of these stolen goods,
and after Waters was arrested he
confessed and turned States evil
dence. 1t is said that he implicated
Kelly and the latter's arrest followed
on the specific charge of having in
his possession a kodak which is sup
posed to have been stolen recently
from the express company.
The officials in charge of the probe
declare that other arrests will prob
ably follow in a few days, when the
entire plot of alleged systematic
thievery will be laid bare.

BOARD OF TRADE CALLS
LEHIGH BRIDGE A NUISANCE

On the ground that it would be a
menace to navigation" the Board OF
Trade last night drafted a resolution
Directing strongly to the rebuilding
of the Lehigh Valley bridge across
Newark Bay. The structure was de-
stroyed by fire last Sunday morning.
The resolution read as follows:
Resolved. That the present i'm
portance of Newark Bay as water
way. and the future possibility of its
development as seaport and a part
of the great port of New York, makes
it urgent for the War Department
to conserve its entire area by pro-
hibiting in every possible way any
form of obstruction which would in
terfere with free and uninterrupted
navigation on all parts of this water
way, or which would in any way in
terfere with it's comprehensive de-
velopment In accordance with plans
contemplated by the municipalities
located thereon.
Resolved, That a further request
be filed with the War Department
in the name of the Board of Trade
of the city of Newark in effect that
no permit be issued for the oonstruc-
ton or reconstruction of a bridge
built upon a pile foundation across
Newark Bay. and in case a permit
is granted for the erection of bridge
of modern construction that it shall
carry with it a provision which will
make obligatory upon those owning
or operating the same to make such
changes or alterations as conditions
may warrant and justify in the
future"
