Chihuahua City.-In the recent bat
tie with Villista bandits, the federal
and municipal palaces suffered most
heavily, huge trees in the Plaza Hi
dalgo being literally stripped of their
limbs by the steady stream of lead
poured through them. The bandits
rode their horses inside the palaces
and tore from their hangings costly
tapestries, paintings and mirrors. Fur
niture was broken into splinters and
doors pulled from their hinges. Bodies
of men and animals lay about on
bloodsoaked carpets.

Theodore P. Shonts, president OF
the Interborough Rapid Transit COM
pany and the New York Railway com
pany, has issued a statement IN which

ing carmen, if they are called upon to
do so by the Central Federated union.

potism are found in the house, and
more poor relations" have been TAX
EN- care of in the House than in the
Senate, simply because there are
more Representatives than there are
senators. Take Illinois for example.
Tayenner's sister-in-law is his stem
ographer. Stones brother is clerk
in the House document room. Sab
ath's nephew is also in the docu-
ment room. Indian Democrats have
not overlooked appointing members
of their families to good places.
Gray's sister is his secretary, Gull
lop's stepson is his secretary, Morri-
sons son is his secretary.
Representative Pou, of North Car
olina, for a time had his son on the
nav roll as the clerk of thecommit-
tee on claims, drawing $1,000 per
annum. Young Pou at this time
was a student in the University OF
North Carolina. Representative
Johnson, of South Carolina, got one
of his sons in the postoffice depart
ment and another a House job. A
nephew was made clerk to a House
committee and the representative
campaign manager was made capt.
tai policeman. Representative Fin
lev. of South Carolina, has his son
as his secretary and another son is
a clerk on the House roll. REPRE-
sentative Aiken, of South Carolina,
emuloys his son as his secretay; his
nephew is in the eargent-at-arms
Office. Representative Clark Of Flor
ida, has two relatives on his COM
mittee and got a door keepers job
for his brother. The son of Rep
Padgett is the assistant
clerk of his fathers committee. The
son of Representative Carlin, though
a student in Georgetown University,
is a clerk in the House judiciary COM
mittee. A nephew of Representative
is clerk to the commit
tete on roads. Representative Lloyd,
of Missouri, has brother in the
on Accounts, and his
brother-in-law is an assistant door
keeper in the House. At one time
LLOYD had five members of his fam
ily on the pay roll. Representative
Watkins has his son as clerk to
committee. Representative Gambler
has his son-in-law as his secretary.
REPRESENTATIVE Alexander, of Mis-
souri,, has his son as his secretary,
and so has Representative Hardy, OF
Texas. The son of Representative

committee, and the brother OF Re
Fields is hissecretary.
The father of Representative Bar
kley is one of the House doorkeep-
ers. This list might be extended at
great length for there are scores OF

GERS, senators and representative
have also been we'll taken care of.
Nepotism is rife in the govern

In the house of representatives
Speaker Clarks son is the parlimen-

is not yet thirty and was given this
lob by the Democratic house major
ity before he had finished his law
studies.
Numerous Democratic Senators
