TAR MIL HE TO TAKE A BROOM i SV7EEP0UT GRAFT United States Senator States That the Gang in Control of New Mexico Are All Corruptionists. "BULL"ANDREWS THE HEAD OF BOODLERS Legislators Who Are Not Eas- - iiy Shocked, Swallowed Hard When They Peeked Into Territorial Muss. Washington, March 13. "President Taft will have to take a broom and weep the present gang or corruptionIsts In New Mexico into the gulf of Mexico before conditions can be sufficiently improved to make statehood possible." A senator who is a members of the committee on territories, to which was presented a mass of evidence revealing the lawless state of affairs existing in New Mexico, made this declaration: It Is also declared to be the prevailing opinion among members of the committee, regardless of party, that the frang of corporation freebooters and territorial officials, who are represented here by W, H. (Bull) Andrews, : must be dispersed sad their control abolished before it is possible that the claims of the territory to statehood can be considered. Warning for Andrews. "Bull Andrews himself, who is freely designated as the chief of the combination and the inspiration of all the ticbemes that have been worked pr are to be worked when the territory haa been admitted, is almost certain to be warned to keep away from the senate chamber. Should be present himself there, it is declared, some action will be taken which will prevent him from offering further affront to the senate by taking advantage of the floor privilege accorded him ' as a member of the house of represeata- . tlves. ,: f')iK zU'h-'i v. ' This announcement is made by senators who feel that no statement Andrews can make and- no pledges he can give will mitigate in the slightest . degree the offense given the senate by his efforts to obtain statehood legislation' for the promotion of his own questionable purposes and those of his associates. ' ' " Senators Indignant. Against Andrews, as the representative of the territory and therefore the man senators have had to deal with in considering statehood legislation ' and against the territory officers including Governor Curry, all of whom hold their appointments - direct from the president,' the indignation of the senate committee is particularly directed. A fair idea of the conditions in New Mexico is obtainable from the fact that senators who are not easily hocked by corruption are unable to countenance the character of ; work that has been carried on under Andrews direction in New Mexico. . One senator seeking to emphasise its enornuij, aeciarea tnai k was worse man anything that had ever been known . about political methods in Pennsylvssua. " r"?.??:;-. . That efforts will be msde to persuade President Taft to remove all the present territorial officers and that ' this wilt be followed by prosecution of suits against the violators of law is ' assured.

GOOD INTENT HAD FINE INAUGURAL BLAZERSBURG, Ind., March 13. One of the most delightful occasions in the history of this town was the Inauguration last Friday of James A. Brown as president of the Good Intent Fire Company. ' The only regrettable occasion was when a member of the Friendship Company manicured the faces of several Good Intents with a monkey wrench. . Several companies from, surrounding towns came here to aid in the inauguration of Mr. Brown, a courtesy which was duly appreciated, suitable resdj lutlons 'having been adopted and spread upon the minutes with engrossed copies sent to the secretaries of tbe visiting organizations. - Mr. Brown was sworn into office by Justice, of the Ptace Hiram Zentmyer and af the conclusion of the momentous event the vast concourse rent the air with mighty shouts, also several huzxae. President Brown, tastefully , attired in a red shirt, blue trousers . and a large helmet, delivered a stirring inaugural address, in which he promised to fight the Demon Fire with all his strength. Refreshments were served in the engine house, to which all did full justice. , by the revelation of the methods they have employed to carry them out. The testimony submitted to the territories committee : yesterday has not yet been made public, nor will it be, except as necessity arises. As already stated, it showed" Iandt frauds committed by corporations and individuals identified with the Andrews gang, and the latest 'efforts to obtain statehood. . It shows jury fixing, jury bribing, control of territorial courts and territorial officers, exercised for corrupt ', purposes; election methods so utterly corrupt as to be farcical and a general reign of -lawlessness, but lawlessness by the men representing the government and the corporations of the territory such as no other record has ever revealed. It was as if all the lawless elementsdriven from other western states ; by tbe progress and development of civilisation had sought refuge in New-Mexico, where they had been organized and set to work upon a scheme of general exploitation by the ingenious and active "Bull" Andrews, himself.. That tbe ."Bull" has been the.directing spirit is thought to be demonstrated,, not by the appearance of his nanfe in' connection with any Illegal acts but by the fact that it is hardly connected ajt all. . . ; .5 Land Frauda Exposed. ' , Other men violated the statutes. Andrews is shown only in the position of one who was to reap the benefit. A large portion of tbe testimony submitted to the committee yesterday was the stenographic report of evidence obtained by Ormsby McHarg, acting as a ( special attorney of the Department of Justice, to Investigate land frauds and other crimes against the United States in the territory itself.' This showed that , by . collusion between state officers and corporations, including the Pennsylvania Development company and the Santa Fe Central Railroad, both organizations with which Andrews was connected, timber and other lands, included' In grants made by congress to the territory to be held in trust for school " purposes, had been disposed of to the corporations. When McHarg first went into tha territory the plea was set up that no offense had been committed against the United States, because tbe land in question had actually passed from the United States to the territory, and therefore the territory, must seek redress in the territorial courts. It was evidently the freebooters' opinion that this contention, would be admitted by the government and that as they controlled the territorial courts, they had absolutely no reason to fear possible consequences. . ;;V , McHarg fought this question through several courts and finally obtained a decision from the United States Circuit court that failure by the territory government to respect the conditions upon Which) the land had been granted, forfeited the property in question to the general government, and the land and timber and mineral thieves must, therefore, be prosecuted as offenders against the United States. Until this- decision was obtained McHarg had been permitted to go upon his , investigating way almost unembarrassed by interference. Those in the controlling combinations, absolutely certain that they could keep their cases out' of the United States courts. Immediately found themselves confronted with a situation where the doors of a penitentiary open to receive them was clearly suggested. Immediately McHarg was subjected to persecution. He was interfered with In every possible way, bis life was threatened, and the senate committee has testimony that the man to kill him bad been selected. Just prior to this the present governor, George Curry, a former rough rider, and at the time of his appointment, chief of police in Manila, was appointed governor of the territory..''- - ' " "- Andrews nd Cuddy came to Washington, where they filed charges against McHarg. The department of justice, acting upon the representations of these two. wired McHarg that he could stop his investigations, as the department was satisfied he was not accomplishing anything. McHarg wired back that he had evidence enough to obtain Indictments, and would continae the work unless directed to desist. He did continue his work, and obtained the indictments of fifteen per sons and corporations for land frauds. ! Thea" he was- summoned' to Washing-

SCHOOL BOARD HEAD SWORN INDOORS PRIMERS, Ind., March 13, Despite the fierce storm which prevailed, 134 persons attended the inauguration of Thaddeus ifolmes as president of the School Board. 1 It was impossible to hold tbe interesting exercises in front of the school building, as was first planned, so the program was carried out within. - In place of the customary address the new incumbent in office made a few brief remarks, indicating that following the prSade the president's wife would be pleased to have the spectators attend the inaugural banquet At the conclusion of this address President Holmes was cheered. These organizations took part in tbe parade : President Holmes. Members of the School Board. Primer's Silver Cornet Band. Miss Amy Dubbs, teacher, 34 scholars. The janitor. The storm subsided just before the

parade, shape. .but the roads were in bad ton. Curry then had the Presidents ear, and "Bull" Andrews, always alert and always ingenious,' began to emit at regular intervals howls for the renomination of PresidentRoosevelt. He continued to be the chief third-term howler" until the national convention met. He wanted Roosevelt renominated, he said, because he had done so much good for the country. He indorsed all the President's policies,' his crusade against law-defying combinations, and especially his expressed desire to convict every, man who bad despoiled the public domain or had obtained land, timber and minerals by fraudulent practices. i There never was such an all-around indorser of everything good and public-spirited as "Bull" Andrews, and he kept on indorsing with such effect that his efforts, supplemented by those of. Governor Curry, resulted Jn having McHarg assigned to other work. ,How the Gang Operated. , . All that McHarg discovered was dujy'. set down in writing and was presented to the Senate committee. t "i ' representative' or the organisation who had himself appointed to the grand jury, was found in the grand jury room engaged "in"' bribing his fellow-jurymen. He was taken into court where be was fined $00. The fine and the subsequent -release of the briber were both regarded as good jokes on McHarg. - V W : ' ': . V' , He also found that. jury-fixing had been reduced almost to a science, although the methods employed were simple .'in the extreme. : The -juries, selected were, composed chiefly of Mexicans. It was necessary for the. court to appoint an Interpreter to enter the jury room and . explain ' the testimony and the instructions of the court to the jurymen.- The organisation, instead of bothering with the jury, merely controlled the interpreter, and through him had everything arranged satisfactorily. J Political affairs were rua in the same simple, straightforward manner. The Mexicans and half-breeds were voted in droves, under the direction of a few leaders br .overseers in the employ of the organisation. This part of the work was particularly easy to one of Andrews experience in Pennsylvania,: and the proficiency he acquired there in the handling of voters for the Quay machine. Opposition to gang methods was supressed by intimidation, threats of murder and actual violence, enforcing respect for the gang's power. This, In brief, is declared by members' of the committee to be the showing made in the statements presented to the committee. There is the further information that the reprredatlons upon state and public lands have yielded millions In timber yand other products. Here again comes in the reason, why sta tehood was regarded as necessary to the salvation of Andrews and his partners. The statehood bill turns over to the state itself all eases brought by the United States for offenses committed within -the territory." and had it passed would have given to the Andrews organization the right to create the courts in which the indicted men would be tried.

BLIZZARD HALTS SPRING CEREMONY WEEDBURG, InL, March 13. Much to the regret of the citizens of this place, the inauguration of spring planting has been delayed for at least ten days. - It had been the intention to make this the great event of the past week, but the blizzard came along and stopped all preparations. , This Is one ceremony that cannot be held under a roof. Not within the memory of the oldest resident had the inauguration of spring planting taken place elsewhere than outdoors, and the custom was firmly established that no person would take the risk of breaking precedent. '., ... Also at this inauguration there is no speechmaking, and about the only procession is a line of plow horses returning from the fields or a string of boys dropping potato cuttings. likewise there is no music. ,? . ' At the same time much good generally follows the inauguration and. if properly managed, it means much profIt to those who participate in the festivities. It is expected that the event will be delayed until the snow melts and the .weather becomes warmer. Full notice will be given the general public of the date seltcted.

stiooette: An Old Fashioned Man Frees Mis Mind About Its Absurdities. "Whether to eat ash with a ash knife and fork or a fork and a bit of bread, whether to serve champagne la a tumbler or a goblet it is quite absurd to regard one of these courses as right and the other as wrong and to admire or despise a person accordingly. The average rule of etiquette has nothing to do with courtesy, with good breeding, and it Is no criterlost of courtesy or of good breeding." - Tbe speaker, an old fashioned gentleman from the country, knotted the ends of his napkin more firmly about his. neck.-" ;'...- v- ' "Smile at me, nephews and nieces," be resumed, "because I rock my, napkin under my chin. Yet . hy should I spoil my black broadcloth coat with turkey stains or smears of cranberry sauce?

It Is composed . of disappointed men of every country political refugees, military fugitives. . In fact, all varieties of the world's restless citizens go to make up this p wonderful mongrel fighting machine. "No questions asked" might well be the regimental motto. Each man signing his bond of service sells bis soul for five years at the wage of 1 sou (about 1 cent) per day. The officers are French, but the men bail from everywhere and nowhere. Under various names the French legion has existed since the eighteenth century and was finally constituted as at present in 1830. It consists of twelve battalions divided into two regiment, mustering a total strength of 12,000 men. Eight thousand are kept la the far east, the remainder serving In northern Africa. ( In the early days the regiments were divided into ."national sections," men from the same country being kPt together. This resulted, however, in continual racial disputes, aad each, company consequently was given ' a cossaopoUtaa composition. Since Its formation the officials have guarded closely against desertions, and as the legion only serves In French colonial territory where the ' centers are remote aad transportation Is dJOcalt a deserttea is a rare feat.

SUNSHINE PROGRAM . . WAITS ON WEATHER MARCHTOWNv Ind-, March 13. Some of the more progressive citizens of this neighborhood axe planning to inaugurate a season of pleasant weather. Just when the inauguration will take place has not been decided on account of unfavorable conditions, but the committee in charge of the enterprise announces that ' it will be held on the first warm and clear day this month. The program of exercises haa been arranged after much thought and considerable meditation. First of all, it is positively declared that no "flarebacks' will be permitted in the festivities. Because a flareback was allowed to visit Washington the Tart celebration was interfered with and many persons became ill. Therefore it has been decided to eliminate the flareback. -v A prominent place in the parade will be taken by A Band of Optimists, with Little Sunshine their chief They will show new easy ft' m to be optimistic on a ftrighjt day ae an a stormy one. , Anttf the clubs In line will be that ever-popular orator.
