.1 11 A x v SAN T A FE NEW EXICAN VOL. 44. SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO, SATURDAY NOVEMBER 10, 1907. NO. 235 is V LLEWELLYN CASE BEFORE PRESIDENT Attempt to Oust District Attorney From Office MADE BY FEDERAL AGENTS Governor Curry Puts Condi tions Before Executive -Land Matters A very interesting dispatch from Washington concerning New Mexico affairs appeared in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat of the l!K.i instant. It is, however, but only partially correct in its statements. Some of the main points are justified by the facts as they are. There has been friction be tween U. S. District Attorney W. H. H. Llewellyn on one hand and the special assistants to the attorney gen eral of the United States on the other. At least this is the general public opinion. This friction does not seem to have been engendered on the part of the district attorney. That charges were made against District Attorney Llewellyn by the "special assistants to the attorney general" is also believed. It is not known at this time what action President Roosevelt will take in the matter although news is ex pected hourly. The tenor of the dis patch seems to indicate that the Pres ident will render a decision in favor of District Attorney Llewellyn. As to Governor Curry. His visit to Washington was induced by the ne cessity of laying several matters of importance concerning territorial land matters and forest reserves before the secretary of the Department of the Interior, also to arrange territorial land affairs looking to a speedy settle ment of this vexed question, and last but not least to put in solid work for the passage of an enabling act within the next three months. He also went to give the President Information con cerning the actual conditions of the territory as they now are. ' Globe-Democrat's Dispatch. The Washington dispatch , referred to follows: "Governor Curry of New Mexico, Major Llewellyn, district attorney of the territory, and Captain D. J. Leahy, his assistant, are in Washington and today had a conference with Attorney General Bonaparte and the secretary of the interior, Mr. Garfield. Tomor row they will confer with the presi dent at the White House. "In the absence of a statement from the New Mexico officials, it has been generally supposed that they came here to discuss with the president and the administration the attitude rela tive to statehood and to outline if pos sible some plan by which the merits of the territory can be brought before the Congress at its coming session. It is known, however, that a number of other territorial matters of far more importance are now before the offic ials. Llewellyn Seeks Vindication. "Governor Curry is reported as be ing much vexed at the action of the commissioner of public lands, taken recently in his absence In distribut ing the funds from the sale of the lands to the Pennsylvania Develop ment Company. It is also natural to suppose that Major Llewellyn is more interested in meeting and refuttlng the charges which have been brought gainst him in connection with af fairs In the territory than the state hood proposition. These charges are generally accredited to officials In the Interior Department and more recent ly to the special counsel sent to the territory by the Department of Jus tice. ' "It appears that Messrs B. Peyton Gordon and Ormsby McHarg, the special counsel for the government, have created something of a stir since they visited the territory and have been at work. One of their activities has been. the indictment of a number of prominent men in the territory and Interested companies operating there but who live in New York City. Among the indictments returned recently through their operations was one against Cleveland Dodge, a man who Is a personal friend of President Roosevelt and was a member of his class at Harvard. He is a man whom it Is known the president has fre quently held up as a model business and commercial man. Have Roosevelt's Confidence. "Governor Curry has the confidence of President Roosevelt, he same is true of Major Llewellyn and Captain Leahy. All three of these territorial of ficials were members of the Rough Riders and known as comrades of the president in that organization. "The transactions . relative to the Pennsylvania Development Company (Continued On Pag Elht.) SCOTTISH RITE MASONS AT EL PASO Reunion Commences November 18th Will Last Five Days Many Candidates.

We are not assembled here to worship that public officer who ultimately conceded to us our rights, especially when we reflect that long ago, from every standpoint of population, wealth and intelligence this territory was entitled to all the blessings and privileges of statehood, for now to thank these public offi cers in over gracious terms who have finally performed this long and unjustly deferred duty, would be in the nature of the hugging the feet of a dilatory debtor who finally pays his just indebtedness."
