INDIAN DISPUTE
OVER AN OFF lei:
IS INTERESTING
San Juan Redskins SQuabbIe
Over Gover1orShip in Which
Cane FigureSi Lonergan Is
Held for CONTEMPT.

Especial eo#RespoNugncs TO MORNING Journal
Santa Fe, Feb. 1S.--The case of
Ventura Montoya against Ambrosia
Martin, recently tried before Judge
Holloman here, which resulted in r.
7. Lonergan, indian agent at Albu-
querque, being sentenced to six
months in Jail for contempt of court,
presents some interesting features,
showing that, among other things, the
Indians sometimes play politics ac-
cording to their tribal presidents.
while at other times they resort to
tricks which would be a credit to their
pale-faced brethren.
In the case in question ii seems that
the Indians of the Pueblo of San Juan,
Rio Arriba county, have acquired
American habits to such an extent
that they are divided up into politi-
cal parties. Under their system of
government they have yearly cleo
tons for governor. The insignia of
the office of governor consists of a
couple of canes, one of which, in
years gone by, had been presented to
the governor of the pueblo by Abra
ham Lincoln while he was president
of the United States. These canes are
he'd in the utmost reverence, and a.
governor must be possessed of these
insignia of office before he can adj
minister the affairs of the governor
No Contest Procedure Adopted.
The plaintiff in this case claimed to-
have been elected governor of the
pueblo; Ambrosio Martin the defend
ant, claimed that he was elected. 1T
seems that no procedure for contest
in office has as yet been adopted byI
this Indian tribe. Ambrosio Martin,
however, refused to deliver to Ventura
Montoya the canes, the insignia of
office, and Montoya brought a suit
in the court to replevin the said canes.
A judgment was rendered in favor of
the plaintiff and an order issued
commanding the said defendant to de-
liver the canes to the plaintiff The,
defendant, however, having adopted
other American customs, conceived
the idea of defeating the majesty of
the law, and instead of delivering the
canes to the plaintiff, as commanded
by the court, sent them by express to
p. 7. I1onergan, Indian agent at Albu-
QuerGue, n, NJ. Thus defeated, the
plaintiff filed an application to haveI
the defendant cited for contempt of
court, and also had a subpoena ducesl
tecum issued to Lonergan command
ing him to appear in court and pro-
duce the canes. Lonergan, apparently
acting under directions from the In
dian department at Washington re-
fused to comply with the subpoena,
and he, in turn, was cited for contemptl

Those who have seen the proofs Of
the field marshals volume have been
somewhat surprised at his criticisms
of such eminent soldiers as the late
Lord Kitchener and Gen. Sir Horace
Smith-Dorrien. They recall the fact
that at one time French declared
everything he was in the army he
owed to Kitchener, referring, OF
course, to his selection for his high
command by Kitchener during the
South African campaign. They also
comment on the fact that in his frs,
dispatch from the western front
French highly eulogized Smith Dor
rien for his GOODNESS and intrepidity,
which saved a critical situation.

of court He answered the proceed
ings for contempt by setting up a
claim that the administration of In
dian affairs is lodged exclusively with
the Indian department at Washington,
and neither the state courts nor the
United States courts have any iurisdic-
ton in such matters. The court, how
ever, took the view that he at least
had the right to issue a subpoena in
the case. and that the subpoena must
be Obeyed, even though a person cited
to appear should be an agent of the
Indian department, and found the re-
spondent Lonergan guilty of CON
tempt,
Purpose of Lcnergan.
The purpose of Lonergan in resist
ing the action of the court was to
pave the way for a test case in the
United States court to ascertain
whether or not the state court has
jurisdiction in such matters, and a
writ of habeas corpus will likely be
sued out before Judge Neblett, Judge
of the United States court, TO test the
question.
The court sentenced Lonergan to
Jail for a term Of six months, hut an
nounced at the time that he he had
no desire to punish Lonergan, as he
Enew that he was sincere in his de-
termination to raise the question of
jurisdiction and announced that in
the event that the state courts deci-
cision was sustained by the United
States court, and Lonergan would
then respond to the order of the court
to deliver up the canes, that the court
would consider that as purging the
contempt and would set aside the PEN
atty imposed.

RAILROAD OFFICIALS SALARIES

From the New York Herald.
 There is real interest in a list of the
 salaries fo 200 officials of the principal
 railroads of the United States in 1917, compiled for the Senate committee on in
 terstate commerce and used in an argu- ment that not more than $20,000 of the compensation of a railroad official should
 be charged to operating expenses.
 Among the facts contained in the com
 pilation is that the salary of the presi- dent of the largest railroad in the coun-
 try was $75, 400, and that the same road
 paid Il vice presidents salaries ranging
 from s4O,62O down to s25,OO0, while other
 of s20.0O0 and up, making total amount
 ing to $SS1 ,96O A president of a city rail-
 way company in this city received a
 salary of $112,0O0. Receiverships are mo-
 toriously costly, some amounting to $104,- 900 and even s13O,Ooo. Seven leading rail-
 roads paid their presidents s75,ooo or more.
 There were some s6o,0oO men, and others
 receiving from saO,0O0 to s5oO0o a year. There is no positive answer to the ques- tion, What is a salaried man worth?'' It is wholly relative depending upon con ditions, ability, competition and results. Some railroad executives at the salary of a member of Congress-$75 -$7500-would be expensive, while others at $50,O00 might be cheap. The stockholders of private cor porations have right to pay their ex- ecutives and officials what they please. Results and earnings usually fix that. However, it is different in the case of public or semi-public corporations run for the benefit of the public and more or less
 under public management. Government operation of the railroads of the country has the financial condition of some trans portation lines in our larger cities. Gov ernment operation of the railroads sug- gested that perhaps the large salaries paid the high executives contributed to the regular monthly deficits. If the rail roads for any length of time continue un- der government management and control this question of salaries may prove one of no little importance. If the railroads are returned to their owners and the government pledges itself to guarantee fair dividends, the question of salaries will continue to be vitar.

Europe Is Waiting
 for America's Aid

TN recent issue of the Budget ap- 0 pears cartoon that should cause some twinges of conscience to those gentlemen of the Senate who have quibbled while the world was afire.
 The drawing shows Europe, repre- sented by female figure holding a baby in her arms, gazing over the Att lantic toward America, one hand out stretched to the letters "U. s." adorned with stars and stripes and resting low on the horizon, with a few rays shooting toward the firma- ment, as promise of the future. The cartoon is entitled Waiting for the Sunrise"
 Call them money grubbers if you will, the American people are never theless a nation of idealists. They do not wear their ideals conspicuous to the public view and it is some times necessary to arouse their sym pathies before they will act, but no man of vision or kindly impulses can think of the devastation in many parts of Europe without desiring to help.
 America has done great deal for humanity in the past few years, but she must do great deal more. For long time to come American dol lars, American products of all kinds and American brains will be needed to help in the task of rehabilitation. The speedy ratification of peace will en- able this work to be carried on as it should be, in systematic, business like way.
 Apart from it's altruistic phases, American support of European indus try will prove intensely profitable.

Find Alcohol Can
 Be Made From Coal

LUST as prohibition comes effect ~ i've throughout the United States by constitutional amendment, 1t is discovered that very fine quality of alcohol may be obtained from coal. At least, the operators of by-product coke plant in England claim, accord ing to news dispatch, that they have obtained alcohol from coal and that from the tests they have made, they can guarantee supply of approxi- mately fifty million gallons before the coal deposits of the British Isles are which would be sufficient, it is estimated, to supply the com mercial needs of the world for many years
 Birmingham has been producing coal tar, ammonia, naptha and other Iby-products of coal for the last quar- ter century, but so far as has been made known, the plants here have never found any alcohol among the Iby-products.
 This important discovery comes long after the possibility of exploit ing it in the Birmingham district has past. Could the owners of the by product plants have included alcohol among the other chemicals extracted from coal doubtless they would have reaped untold riches from their oper- ations.
 Perhaps, when the Congress finds out the possibilities in this line of endeavor they will relax the law lit- tile bit in favor of the coal people, and at least let alcohol be used to run automobiles.

Transatlantic Flyer
 Accidentally Killed

THE irony of fate is once more ex-
 q emplified in the death of Capt. Sir John Alcock, who was killed yes terday when his plane crashed to the earth in France.
 Captain Alcock made the first non- stop flight across the Atlantic, a dauntless pioneer who blazed a trail through the air that will be followed in after years by mighty fleets and dirigibles, carrying the worlds com , merce. It was by long odds one of the most spectacular achievements in the history of mankind and the whole world was thrilled when the hazard ous voyage was crowned with sue cess.
 After risking his life in such per-
 ilous venture, Captain Alcock must needs die as any amateur flyer might die, in a commonplace accident as he was pilotingAa seaplane over the route of the Seine, intending to give exhi- { bition flights at Rouen.
 The untimely end of such gal ] lant aviator will be lamented wherever pluck and daring, combined with skill, : make the blood in mems veins run a , bit faster. But Captain Alcock is assured of immortality. As long as there is any record of heroic deeds his flight across the Atlantic will
