THE CHANGES TAKE EFFECT
Transfers Are Made To Day in the Police
Department.
The Promotions and Reductions
Lieutenants Sent to Other Pre-
cincts-New Chief Inspector.

Several of the important changes and
transfers in the police department went
into effect today, and others will take
place tomorrow. The Heutenants who were
transferred surrendered their precincts this
morning. At the 8 o'clock 1oll call they
said farewell to the men who had served
Under them, and In each instance the re-
firing official expressed his thanks to the
members for their loyalty, and advised
them to serve his SUCCESSOR as well.
Lieutenants Teeple and Vernon were the
only ones who left their precincts for duty
in another line, the former going to the
sanitary office and the latter to headquar-
ters. While Lieutenant Vernon was re-
duced, his new duties, with which he Is so
familiar, will be Of vastly more importance
to the department than the command of a
precinct. He will be detailed in the offices
of MajoF Moore and Captain Austin, and
will act during the temporary absence of
these officials.
Lieutenant Kenney. who was recently
promoted, took charge of the eighth pre-
cinct at II o'clock this morning, relieving
Lieutenant Gessford. who was transferred
to the fifth precinct at noon. Lieutenant
McCathran, who was thus relieved, went
to No 8, relieving Lieutenant Heffner, who
succeeds Lieutenant Teeple in the second
precinct.
All the men transferred are popular with
the prtvates on the force, and the latter re-
GREETED to lose their 'old commanders
In assuming their new commands the
lieutenants had something pleasant to say
to the men at the l o'clock roll call this
afternoon, at the same time assuring them
that strict attention to duty would be re-
quired, and informing them that petty jeal-
orsies will not be tolerated.
Sergeant Kaucher was originally trans
ferred from the second to the fifth pre-
cinct, but this order has been changed,
and after one days duty ut the navy yard
he will return to the second precinct and
relieve Sergeant McTaggart, who goes to
Lieutenant Kenny's command.
Sergeant Montgomery will leave the
eighth precinct to do duty under Lieu
tenant Gessford, while Sergeant Wright
will go from the fifth to the ninth precinct
with his lieutenant. Sergeant Jordan will
go from the ninth to the second precinct.
Today Sergeant Jos. w. Mattingly was
made lieutenant, and he will take charge
of the detective Office tomorrow as in
spector, succeeding Inspector Hollinberger,
who will relieve Lieutenant Vernon as chief
in the fourth precinct.

operation of the Rule PROMULGATED
by CommisssiOper ButterwOrth.
The rule lately promulgated by Commits
sioner of Patents Butterworth requiring at
torneys practicing before the patent office
to register their names In that office has
been responded to by over a hundred attor-

average Of twenty-five or thirty a day.

there are between 5000 and 5000 attorneys
In the United States who occasionally have
business before the United States patent
office. and who will eventually have their
names registered in the big book which
was opened last week for the purpose. @
The work Of registering the attorneys ap-
pears to be a very popular move as Com
missioner Butterworth has received many
communications from attorneys approving
his action. This is the first important move
on the part of the commissioner looking TO
more careful regulation of practice be-
fore his bureau. and 1t is not likely that
he will take further action until Congress
has provided legislation to authorize him
to enforce such regulations as he regards
as necessary for the proper conduct Of busi-

When court opened, Mr.. Scheyer on be-
half of the plaintiff company, filed a motion
to make the preliminary Injunction per-
manent, and Mr.. Brennan made a counter
motion to dissolve it.
Judge Stowe decided both motions out OF
order and President De Armitt was called
to the stand. His testimony did not ma
terially differ from the affidavits filed when
the preliminary injunction was secured.
Superintendent Thomas De Armitt, the
next witness, described the marches of the
strikers and their camps, and said that 200
or 800 OF their men had told him they were
fearful of personal injury or destruction of
their property if they went to work.
Superintendent Fisher of the Sandy Creek
mine testified that he had been notified to
stay in the house, or he would be 'eone
up" and that he had been shot at. The
witness refused to give the name of his in
formant and Judge Stowe said that any,
thing that would tend to show that life or
property was endangered was competent
They were here, he said. to find out If the
conduct of the strikers was such as to
cause the injunction to be continued.
President Dolan was next called for ex-
animation ans, during his testimony he
said that the strike was made at the re-
quest of several operators. Among the
number were James Shields, Capt J. J.
Steytler and Capt Blythe. These oper-
ators, he said, told him that DE Armitt was
running the trade and the only thing that
would save them from the sheriff and tie
miners from starvation was a strike No
one had told him to get De Armitt's men
out, but it was hoped to make the strike

LAS VEGAS GOSSIP.
"A Discussion of the water Question
is About the Only subject to Be
Heard ON the BOulevards.

Correspondence New Mexican.
Las Vegas, N. NJ, July 2, 1S97.-Street
talk in Las Vegas is almost wholly con-
fined to a discussion of the water ques.
ton. The city council proposes, under
the recent law, giving cities the power to
regulate the price to be charged for gas
water and electric light, passed by the
Thirty-seoond legislative assembly to at
tempt to lower the price of water in Las
Vegas. If it is successful the law will be
menace to every similar corporation in
the territory; if it fails the new law will
practically become dead letter. Public
sentiment is by 40 means all on one side
in Las Vegas. The water company mere
purchased its plant when it was losing
proposition, and Immediately spent many
thousand dollars to put it in shape anc
supply the people with sufficient guam.
tity of pure, fresh water, and there are
citizens here who are fair enough to
grant them the privilege of making fail
interest on their large investment.
The recent action of the school board
of this city comes in for its share of con
domination, az out of 100 applicants for
positions as teachers there were but II
places to be filed; it is no wonder that
there are SO people who take exceptions
to the decision of the board. By the way
Mrs. l.. L. Brown of Santa Fe, was one Of
the chosen II for a position, her place
being the eighth grade.
There is very little political talk to be
heard in Las Vegas, in fact this city en-
joys the honor Of laying aside all politi.
cal questions after each election. No one
ever thinks of the politics of the council
school board, or city officers after they
have taken their offices, they are all citi
zens, first, then politicians. A like con
dition might benefit Albuquerque ant
Santa Fe.
Judge Louis Sulzbacher is spending 1
few days in Las Vegas, his home, as h,
says, though he divides his time between
this and Kansas City, his heart is Away
in Las Vegas. The Optic this evening
contains the item that Just 81 years age
this day, the Judge landed In the Meadow
city, en- route, GA foot, for Santa Fe
where he entered the practice of law
There is great deal of history of New
Mexico in these 81 years and there is nj
man living that can tell it any better O
truer than can Judge Sulzbacher. He ha
many friends in this territory who hop,
that President McKinley,,will do that par
ticular act that will bring the Judge bacl
here to spend all his time.
The soreness that crops Of certain
editor of northern New Mexico who wa
disappointed in the appointment of tn
governor is rather laughable. Under tn
guise of working for the Republican
party he makes his attacks on the edito
of tho New MEXICAN, who has done NOR
than any other one man for the party il

tleman above referred to for feeling dis
appointed, but he would make might
