Wm. J. Burns, the detective. In an

Bankers association. Mr. Burns ar-
raigned Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor.
Eugene V. Debs pnd other “would be

clared that nine-tenths of organized
labor Is opposed to violence and not in
sympathy with efforts of the small so-
cialistic element ’o destroy organized
society and lessei} respect for the laws
of the country.
He declared that Eug»ne Debs, in a
recent signed article in a periodical
which Burns suggested should be
known as “The Appeal to Reason,”
wrote in a vein calculated to incite
men to the worst possible violence.
“And," he said. “I interpreted the ar-
ticle to mean that J. Pierpont Morgan,
Guggenheim. General Otis and myself
should be removed."
"If they get me.” he declared with
feeling, “there will be somebody else
to take up the work and continue the

sciousness of having performed my
duty with observance of an absolute
regard at all time for the rights of
every individual affected and prompt-
ed only by a desire to see that Justice

MONROEJ
Associated Press Dispatch
New Orleans, Nov. 23.—The speedy
amendment of national and state
banking was urged for adoption in
connection with other plans for mon-
etary legislation by J. G. Saratori.
president of the Security Savings
Bank of Los Angeles in an address
today before the American aBnkers’
association. Mr. Saratori said:
“A careful survey and study of the
growth and development of capital
stock banking in the United State*,
leads to the conclusion that the ten-
dency is to generalize and not to
specialize.
"The theory Is entertained and the
idea may be that each institution
should be organized to do either bI
commercial, a trust or a savings bus-
iness.”
Saratori advocated national and
state laws legalizing and regulating a
dual or departmental business, com-
pelling the segregation of assets and
giving to the creditors of each de-
partment a first or prior lien on the
assets of each department.
After discussing some of the re-
commendations of the national mon-
etary commission, Saratori con-
tinued:
“After thw most thorough and sci-
entific examination and InvesUfcatlon
ever made of banking conditions In
the commercial world, a national de-
partment banking act is practically
recommended by the commission.
“This phase of the suggested plan
for monetary legislation should hot
be overlooked by the savings sec-
tion. It should not be sidetracked
but should be urged along with cur-
rency reforms to bring about a cbm-
plete banking and financial sys-
tem."
The four “sections” of the associa-
tion- elected presidents:
Trust company—F. H. Fries, Wins-
ton-Salem, N. C.

CONGRESSMAN UNDERWOOD
SPEAKS IN ALABAMA
Associated Press Dispatch
Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 23.—In defense
of the present representative government
of this country, Representative Oscar W,
Underwood, Democratic majority leader
of the house, spoke tonight at a dinner
given In his honor by the Birmingham
chamber of commerce.
“It is proposed by some,” said Mr.
Underwood, "that we in part abandon
the representative government enacted
by our revolutionary fathers and adopt
a system that In the end would estab-
lish a direct democracy, when the ulti-
mate powers to make laws would be
placed directly In the hands of till the
people and the independent Judiciary* in-
tended to protect the constitutional guar-
antees of Individual liberty, would be-
come subservient to the will of the ma-
jority through political compulsion.”
Mr. Underwood declared there was far
less danger of enacting hasty, ill-con-
sidered legislation under the present than
under ttio proposed initiative and refer-
endum.

PITIFUL STORY OF
A DOG’S FIDELITY
Special to The Times.
Globe, Ariz., Nov, 23.—Thursday
afternoon the body of Toni Brown,
a well known miner, was found dead
on the trail leading down front his
cabin on the hill northeast of Johan-
nesburg. says the Ilandsburg Miner.
Search In his cabin releaved a pool
of blood near his bunk and blood
stains leading out through tho door.
He had been In poor health for some
time and subject to a severe cough.
It is surmised that he had a hemorr-
hage and tried to get down the trail
to secure help, but overcome with
weakness, fell face downward and ex-
pired.
A pathetic incident was the actions
of his little dog, which was seen by
people in Johannesburg to run back
and forth along the steep trail Be-
tween the body and the cabin many
times, then returning to lie jiown in
the trail. Nothing was thought of
the animal’s actions until the body
was discovered by one Putnam, who
went to search for Brown after his
absence had been noticed.
Brown had lived on the desert for
many yfears and had made and lost
several fortunes In mining. He was
the discoverer of the famous Shot Gun
mine in Nevada and other good prop-
erties. For the last ten or fifteen
years he has lived in this district a
quiet, honest, hard working man who
made many friends.

NEW MEXICO SHERIFF
FORMER COLORADO CONVICT
Associated Pit *s Disputes
Denver, Colo., Nov. 23.—Although
he served his full term of four years
for manslaughter In the Colorado
state penitentiary, Governor Shafroth
today granted an unconditional par-
don to Robert Maiisker, sheriff-elect
of Union county. New Mexico.
The pardon was granted at the re-
quest of Governor Mills and others In
New Mexico, because, under the re-
cently adopted constitution of that
state, there is a clause prohibiting
any ex-convict from holding political
offices. Mansker was released from
the Colorado penitentiary in 1892 and
Immediately went to New Mexico.

when she told him she had brought
none back and asked him what he had
done with the $1,500, he flow Into a
rage, and she said, administered a
severe beating, from the effects of
which she was confined to her bed
for three days.
Then Mrs. Patterson went on to
tell of quarrels and beatings that
arose from her refusal to sell her elec-
tric automobile and give tho money
to Patterson. To two of these, she
said, there was a witness, a Mrs.
Campbell, who conducted a cleaning
and dyeing establishment at 502
Forty-third street in Chicago, near
the Patterson home. Mrs. Campbell*
It is said, Is here to testify in Mrs.
Patterson’s behalf.
At various places in Mrs. Patterson s
testimony today, her counsel inter-
rupted to have marked as evidence
in the case Patterson’s bank book
and several letters written by Pat-
terson to his wife. These, it was de-
clared, will be used to corroborate
much of her testimony.
I'lispeakablo Bestiality.
The day was one of surprises. Af-
ter outlining the story Mrs. Patterson
is to tell on the stand, in which, her
attorney said, "the brutality and un-
speakable bestiality of Patterson
would be shown the jury, Mrs. Pat-
terson’s counsel, in his opening state-
ment, declared that the defense would
show that Mrs. Patterson had fired
the shots that killed her husband af-
ter he had struck her twice and
knocked her down and kicked her as
she fell, and that she had shot whllo
she was on her knees struggling to
get to her feet. This, ho declared,
would be, shown by an eye-witness to
the entire affair- Ills statement cre-
ated a decided sensation, as the only
eye-witness to the affair heretofore
known is A. B. Shugart, a carpenter
who testified for the state. Accord-
ing to Shugart his attention was at-
tracted by two pistol shots and lie
looked up and saw, some 300 feet
away, a woman, revolver* In hand,
standing over a man on his hands and
knees before her. He shouted to her,
he said, and the woman fired once
again. The man at her feet lurched
forward on his face and stiffened out,
Shugart said.
The state rested its case early this
afternoon.
Mrs. Patterson was on the stand
when court adjourned late this after-
noon, until tomorrow,
MONOPOLY AM) COMBINATION
ARE ESSENTIAL FACTORS
A**orlatrd I'renH Ulnpatch.
Washington, Nov. 23.—"Monopoly
and combination must be recognized
as an essential factor in the future de-
velopments of the water pow< rs of
the United States," said Walter L.
Fisher, secretary of the interior be-
fore the National Waterways commis-
sion today.
Secretary. Kjshcr advised the com-
mission to support no legislation to
hinder *or prevent the combination « f
power com par leu, or the consolidation
of several water powers under one sys-
tem of operation. Instead, he said,
government activity should be center-
ed on the regulation of power and
electricity production companies; and
the national and state government
should speedily agree upon a general
policy that will encourage develop-
ment while protecting the rights of
the public.
"The net public loss through the
non-use of these natural reservoirs, is
quite as great as the loss through their
misuse." said Secretary Fisher. "Com-
bination and monopoly is »he national
end in water power development.
There ought not to be any provision
in the law against combinations—but
there should he a provisiofi agaiust
the assignment of water power; sites,
without the sanction of the executive*
officials of thu government"

IMMENSE IRRiGATION PROJECT
Im Bring Exploited In tlie Oscuro,
New Mexico .Section.
Special to The Timm.
Osrtiro, N. M„ Nov. 25,—'What prom-
ises to bo the biggest'undertaking along
the lino of the E. P. & 8. W. railway
between El Paso and Tucumcarf, Is ap-
parently scheduled to take place in and
around Oscuro.
For tho past ten days an engineering
corps , headed by A. M. Patton of Den-
ver, Colo., has been running levels and
ditches and laterals and laying out lay-
ing out sites for reservoirs, dams, et<\,
tn he used in the development of a mag-
nificent body of land lying about six
miles west of this place, belonging to
Mr. Patton. This land lies alongside th«
famous malpalH formation of ancient lava
and is very alluvial urgl productive, and
only needs the magic touch of water to
make It produce wonderful crops. The
land and adjoining canons has bean
taken over from the governinunt by Mr.
Batten and associates for several years
and tho project, which has been called
the "Bull Gap dam project," has been
one of Oscuro’s assets for a long time.
It has only been waiting for the govern-
ment to survey and locate the metes and
bounds of the property definitely so that
the promoters would not be getting be-
yond their lines, to be put to a practical
test. This the government has done,
