M., Dec 3—Gov. H: } at Pueblo. F ! J. Hagerman, of New Mexico, is en | route to Washington and it is re ported here that the object of his visit is to combat charges said to have been made against_his admin- MANY WITNESSES ARE TO BE EXAMINED (vive Deen min er tint’ wees Gb: Hagerman was begun after he re- moved H. O. Bursym, chairman of j the republican territorial committee, | from the superintendency of the ter- | ritorial penitentiary, alleging an ap- | parent shortage of $10,000 in his ac- counts. Bursum’s removal was fol- lowed by ousting of several other ter ritorial officials and these have | joined in the movement to secure the removal of the governor. Delegate W. H. Andrews and Maj. W. F. H. Lewellyn, a former officer of Roosevelt's rough riders, it is said, have been selected to manage the campaign in Washington while Chair- man Bursum will cary on the work of securing signatures on a petition for removal of Gov. Hagerman, The principal charge against the governor is that he has disorganized the republican party in the southwest. There are several other charges of a minor nature in the bill of particulars said to have been filed at Washing ton., Gov. Hagerman’s friends say he may make — serfsational counter charges to the effect that the terri- torial government has been systemat- ieally looted for years by former offi- clals, Alleged Land Frauds and the Re- lations Between the Railroads and the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company are the Prin al Sub- jects of the Inquiry.

Clarke isted by Attorneys Thomas and Marchand, Monday morning, began an tavestiga | tion of “alleged land frauds and the! relations between common carriers to | the production of coal and of! and the transportation of the same.” This was the way fhe commission- er explained his visit to Pueblo. It is understood that a large number of witnesses will be examined in con- nection with the coal land holdings of the Colorado Fuel & Iron com- pany, the Denver & Rio Grande, the Colorado & Southern, and Santa Fe railroads for the purpose of secur ing data which will be submitted to congress for definite action, Should the investigation bring out facts to warrant it, however, the matter will be brought to the attention of a special United States grand jury called for the purpose of indicting those against whom charges may be referred, The hearing in the city was held wing to the fact that it is the dis- tributing center for the vast coal fields at Canon City, Trinidad, Wal- senburg and the entire southern gor tion of Colorado, and the commission. er expects to gather some valuable information. Within the past few weeks the gen- eral land office at Washington has caused to be withdrawn from entry more than a million and a half acres of land said to contain coal in the Pueblo district, “to prevent monopo- Nation of the coal industries of the country by railroads and other cor- porations.” Rate discrimination in other lines of business may also be looked into. At the conclusion of the hearing here the commissioner will go to Den- ver to continue his investigations along similar lines, | NOT THEIR FIRST OFFENSE, Negro Soldiers of MTwenty-Fifth Infantry Shot up a Dakota Town in 1885.
