INDIAN WIZARD
APPEARS AGAIN
Tradition Says He Predicted
the Spanish Invasion be-
fore 1t Came.

ALBUQUERQUE n. NJ, July e.
An interesting story has been I'M
earthed to confirm the legend Of the
old man of Tijeras canyon, the story
no doubt being the foundation for
the impersonation which some one is
apparently attempting for a purpose
as yet unknown. At least this is the
assumption of those who, during the
past week, have seen the man in his
strange garb in the canyon.
One Of the Oldest Indians at San
Domingo travelled all the way to AL
buQuerque recently to explain the
story after having heard that after
many generations the protector OF
the Rio Grande Valley had again been
seen. 1t was impossible to convince
the Pueblo that the old man is not
what he seems to be.
lie held stoutly to the opinion that
there has again appeared the wizard
who hundreds OF years ago first took
up his abode in the mountains east o.
the valley, and thereafter for many
decades occasionally appeared to right
the wrongs OF the Indians, settle diff
ferences and in other ways act as the
protector OF the tribes living in the
Rio Grande.
According to the Indians story the
legend has been handed down for at
least 300 years, the first appearance
of the wizard dating before the Span
ish occupation. He was called the
Wizard OF Sa-Id-Nas and was rever-
enced by all the tribes in the Rio
Grande. Whenever there was strife
among the tribes he came down out
Of the mountains to adjust these diff
ferences. Whenever there was want
he found some means Of supplying
food. He eradlcated the pests and
made the crops to grow.
Before the Spanish occupation, this
tradition said, he informed the In
dams of the invasion, and after the
Padres had settled In the valley, he
was their friend. The old man was
regarded as a spirit as no one knew
how he existed, The story is that he
was always old but that he apparent
ly grew no older.
The San Domingo Indian asserts
that even nthe life time Of his
father, the old wizard was seen in the
northern end of the valley, although
long before that he had ceased to offer
his services because, as the story runs,
the Indians had at one time spurned
his advice at the bidding Of young
and hot-headed chief who short time
later mysteriously disappeared.
II some one is attempting to imper-
senate the Wizard Of Sa-Id-Nas at the
present time, the impersonator has GER
tainly secured from the Indians the
story, for the makeup seems to be per-
feet. The San Dominingo Indians story
of the wizards appearance as handed
don in the tribe and the description
given the apparition agree perfectly.

Through Attorney Lee Riddle she

In Spite of Owens Determina- ton to Secure Vote on Cor rupt Practice Bill Hopes of Adjournment Are Good.
PL ANS ARE MADE TO
 RUSH LEGISLATION
Representative Kitchen Sends Out Call for Absent Mem bers to Hurry Back for the Final Offensive of House.
(By Review Leased Wire ]

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Congress is getting ready to adjourn next Fri day. if possible, ignoring all threats of members to press special bills over protests of leaders.
 It is expected that Ioint resolu- tion to provide for adjournment Fri day evening will be submitted to both houses next week as soon as the gen. eral deficiency appropriation bill has passed the House probably on Tues day. Democratic leaders declare the resolution will be adopted and that this will operate to check a threaten ed prolonged fight in the Senate over the Owen Corrupt Practices Bill, which aroused a fusilade of charges and counter-charges of political cor ruption yesterday.
 Senator Owens determination to demand a vote on a motion to take up the corrupt practices bill still hangs over the Senate but several in fiuential Democrats said today his motion. if he got an opportunity to Uldht II. NOulu Dt utltdNth- ADtAaANA Smith. of South Carolina, intends to seek another opportunity to pass the immigration bill and he might got it through if it could be done without provoking debate. After the deficien- cy and revenue bills are passed, how ever, Senate leaders on both sides say wild horses could not hold a quorum" ]"
 To clear the way for adjournment Majority Leader Kitchin sent urgent telegrams today to all house absentees asking that they return at once for the final legislative drive of the ses- sion. The House has the shipping bill as amended and the revenue bill conference report to dispose of next week. The Senate is planning to lay aside the revenue bill to pass the de iciency bill as soon as it gets through the House.
 When that is done" said Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee. "all debate on the revenue bill will halt and it will be rushed through. In the meantime Senate amendment to the House bill are be ing informally considered with the ways and means committee members and final report will be ready as soon as the bill reaches the House, to- be sent to conference. With the revenue bill passed. I do not think that any thing can stop adjournment of Con- gress unless something entirely unex. pected should develop"
 If anything should happen to pre- vent adjournment next Friday it will be necessary for Congress to stay over until the next following week as President Wilson will go Co New Jersey for his formal notification of his nomination for reelection.

Senator Gallinger Criticises Progressive Republicans for the Actions Against Joe Cannon and Aldrich.
GRONNA MAKES HOT
 DENIAL OF ASSERTION
Minority Leader Severely Ar raigns Underwood Tariff
 Law, Saying Under Its Op- eration Business Stagnated.
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON. Aug. 25.-The first clash of the session between so-called old line and progressive Republicans occurred in the Senate today during debate on the emergency revenue bill. Senator Gallinger, the minority leader, criticized Progressive Repub- licans for the overthrow of former Speaker Cannon and attacks on the late Senator Aldrich, drawing a viz orous reply from Senator Gronna.
 Senator Gallinger declared that cer- tain Republicans who had sown seeds of discontent over the Dingley tariff chose former Speaker Cannon as the man on whom to heap the burden of blame and that they preached the false theory that the high cost of liv- ing was due to the Dingley tariff Senator Gronna insisted that the tar if had nothing whatever to do. with the removal of Cannon and that he was attacked only to end an era of autocratic domination of the House. He also hotly denounced differences that Progressive Republicans had at that time demonstrated free trade tendencies, and charged that Repub- licans of the old guard" had sought to subject the farmers of the country to free trade in agricultural products.
 Senator Gallinger predicted a re- turn of the country to the protective tariff policy and assailed the Under wood tariff in unreserved terms.
 "The history of the ten months dur ing which the Underwood act was operative under normal conditions, ' said he. ''is sufficient to justify our predictions. and to further put the stamp of disapproval on it. In the first ten months of the Underwood tariff law there was an increase of sS.00O.000 in imports and decrease of $343. .000. GOO in exports.
 Sugar factories closed down. or were operated under reduced cOndi- tions. steel mills drew their fires woolen mills retrenched, many cotton mills were forced out of business. factories that remained open reduced their output. stocks depreciated, three million wage earners were out of employment. the largest percentage since 1S94-1S97. freight cars to the number of 35O.0O0 were idle. as were the locomotives and engineers. freight handlers. firemen and others depend ing upor their operation. sixty per cent of the railroad mileage of the country was in the hands Of receiv- CTS. dividends were passed. railroads gross earnings dropped one hundred millions in the ten months or ten millions a month. bread lines were | the longest ever known. and there was the greatest demand for charity.
