SOME CENSUS TROUBLE
Some of the census ennmerators In New
Mexico have been called up with a short
turn from headquarters in Washington
Their salary account, have been sus-
pended ana the agricultural and manu-
factory schedules have been sent back
for correction and more explicit infor
nation. These schedules received
scarcely any attention. In most in
stances industries known to be in ex-
istence in 1890 and reported in the
census were not reported at all by the
present enumerators, and the census
office wants some explanation; wants
to know If they are now in business
and If not, why not. The instructions
are to make these corrections and get
the schedules started back to Washing
ton by the 18th inst, but this is not
possible, as many Of the enumerators
residing in isolated districts will not
receive the returned schedules until
about that date.
A HOMESTEAD CONTEST DECIDED.
The register and receiver of the T. S.
land office today received from the gen
eral land office decision in the contest
case of Townsite of Cerrllos VS.. James
M. Rogers, affirming the decision of the
local land officials In behalf of Rogers
The latter made y homestead entry on
lands in the suburbs OF CerrillOs and
when it came to make final proof A. l..
Kendall, clerk of the Cerrillos board of
trustees, filed his affidavit of protest,
claiming that the land was within the
corporate limits of the town. The land
officials found by the evidence in the
case that the tOwnsite of Cerrilos has
failed to show that it has or ever had
any right under the laws Of the United
States to the tract in dispute; that the
entry and proof of Rogers be accepted,
that certificate issue to him and that
the contest brought by the town of
Cerrlios be dismissed. The commits
Sioner states that the Cerrillos townsite
is on private land-the Elkins patented
lands-and that none of the public land
embraced within the corporate limits
has ever been entered under the town
site laws. The town will have the same
control over the territory embraced
within its corporate limits after patent
as before, and the issuance of patent
on this entry will not interfere with.

of the municipality or of any individual.
The land comprises 160 acres situate

tiou Of the International Typographical

erick Driscoll commissioner of the
American newspaper publishers asso-
citation, addressed the International
Typographical Union convention today
as representative of the special stand
ing committee of the American news
paper publishin G association making
several suggestions In the interests of
he International Typographical Union.
The committee, he said, was not ap-
pointed to provoke controversies or an
tagonize labor, but. on the contrary,
You are asked by the publishers" he
said, "to unite with them in establish
ing joint arbitration committee to ad-
just disputes between publishers and
local unions that cannot otherwise be
settled, and act as board of appeal.
If you would do this, long step would
be taken toward the abolition of the
strike, boycott and lockout" He
called attention particularly to the res
olution of the publishers that the In
ternational Typographical Union should
make no changes in it's constitution or
general laws bearing upon the rights
or affecting the interests Of publishers
without first being heard by the pub
lishers and before any new scale Is
submitted to the union a full consulta-
ton should be had with the representa-
tive of the employers. He advocated
that all differences should be settled by
arbitration. Driscoll was we'll received.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
j. A. Gonzales Dies and FREDERICK Garcia
Must Answer for His Death,

Jose Andres Gonzales, the Cienega
farmer whose head was crushed in Mon
| day week ago with a spade in the
hands of F'rederico Garcia, died at s
o'clock this morning at St. Vincent s
! hospital. At $3.50 a coroners jury was
empanelled by Justice Garcia and sew
eral witnesses examined among them
Sister Mary de Sales, the attending
physician, Bonifacio and Francisco
MOntoya, nepheWs OF tie dead man.
| and Deputy Sheriff +. c. Huber. The
latter gave the most important testi-
mony, stating that Garcia, after he had
placed him under arrest. confessed to
having assaulted Gonzales as charged,
but claimed to have acted in self de-
fense. The jury rendered a verdict in
effect that Gonzales came to his death
as the result of being struck on the
head by some blunt instrument in the
hands Of FREDERICK Garcia. The latter
i at large somewhere in the vicinity of
Pena Blanca. When he was first arres-
ted he was taken before Justice Boni-
facio Navarras at Cienega, and held to
bonds in the sum of $1,000 to await the
result of Gonzales injuries. He vas
brought here to Jail, being unable to
give the bond, but on Friday last Mar
celino Baca of Pena Blanca, and G. w.
Dudrow became his sureties, and he
was released and returned to Cienega
with Baca. going thence with him, it is
said, to Pena Blanca. After the in
quest this forenoon a warrant was TAX
en- out formally charging Garcia with
the murder of Gonzales, and Sheriff
kinsell left for Pena Blanca this after
noon to bring him in. His preliminary
hearing will be had before Justice Gar
cia.
The remains of Gonzales We're taken
charge of by his brother, Francisco
Gonzales Baca and others, and will
this afternoon be taken to Cienega to
the house of the father of the deceased,
Nasario Gonzales, whence the funeral
will take place tomorrow. Gonzales
was unmarried, aged SO years. He and
Garcia had long been friends and
neighbors. Members Of the Gonzales
family charge that their relative was
assaulted from behind and was struck
with the spade by Garcia as he was
STOPPING over and reaching down to
shut the water off to prevent it flowing
from Nasario Gonzales reservoir into
the bitches leading to a garden patch
on the Gonzales place titled on shares
by Garcia. They say that the custom
there among tenants has been from
time immemorial that all gardens shall
be irrigated on Sunday, and no other
day is the water used for that purpose.
1t appears llat Garcla Went to the San
ia Domingo Indian feast on Sunday,
failed to irrigate his garden and sought
to use the water on Monday.
When Jose Gonzales, the deceased,
went in obedience to orders from his
father to shut the water off, it is ex-
planned, Garcia became enraged and
made upon him the assault which today
brings against him the charge of mur-

Failure,

Utica. N. Y, August 14-Collis P.

Pacific railroad, died at Pine Knot
Camp near Durant, on Racquette lake,

about his camp noting the progress of
the improvements he had been carrying
ON this year. Sunday he remained at
his lodge very quietly receiving calls
from several friends from the neighbor-
ing camps. Yesterday he made no com
plant whatever of illness. He retired
last evening at II o'clock, apparently In
the very best of health, and as far as
can be ascertained. slept soundly, as no
sound of disturbance was heard from
his room until short time before his
death. Means proceeding from Hun
tington's room aroused the members of
the household and they Immediately
went to his assistance. In about ten
minutes he was dead. 1t is supposed
that death was caused by heart trouble.
Later details state that Huntington
was taken suddenly with a choking
spell which was quite common with
him and not thought to be serious: but
he became worse. AS soon as the SER
iousness of the attack was realized, a
messenger was despatched to a neigh
boring camp for a doctor, and he was
on hand in half an hour. Huntington
died without gaining consciousness,
not noyef than three quarters of an
hour having passed between the attack
and death. Mrs. Huntington and Hun
tington's secretary, G. E. Miles, were at
his bedside at the time of his death.

ion of the bankers that no apprehen-
sion need to be felt because Of Hunt

4 ROBBER KILLED.
A sheriff's Posse Has Fight in socorro
County.

Deputy Sheriff w. K. Foster of So
corro county, last week, shot and killed
one of a band of robbers whom he had
tracked with posse to within 20 miles
Of Graham. Socorro county. Several
members Of the posse received slight
wounds. but they kept in pursuit of the
other two robbers.
For the past few weeks a gang of
rough characters have been prowling
around in certain sections Of Socorro
county robbing stores and ranches. A
few days ago a mining company s
store at Graham, was entered by three
desperadoes, who robbed the manager
of all the available cash at the store
and then helped themselves to a new
supply of revolvers and ammunition.
Several parties were at the store when
the robbers were at work, but they
kept quiet at the point of drawn revol-
vers, the bandits threatening to shoot
the first man that attempted to leave
he store. After securing all they were
after, the robbers backed themselves
out Of the store and, mounting their
horses, drove off for their rendezvous
n the adjoining mountains. The rob-
berry was at once reported to Sheriff
Blackington at Sdcorro, and he sent
Deputy w. X. Foster with posse after
he desperadoes.

PROTEST AGAINST EXTRAYAGANCE.
Janitors Are Paid Too Much Says Mem
ber of the Board of Education.
Santa Fe, Aug. Is, 1900.

santa Fe, Aug. ID. l9uO.
Editor New Mexican:
Since your just criticism upon the ac-
ton of the board of education for rails
ing the salaries of the janitors to al
most double the amount usually paid
for such services, many prominent citi-
zens and tax payers have called on me
to protest in very strong terms against
the boards voting away the public
school funds Just merely because they
are handy to get at" Knowing before
hand that such action had been de-
termined upon by a majority of the
board. stayed away from the meeting,
as I knew my presence at that time
would not change single vote. l real
ize that the school fund is sacred one,
and we as members of the board of
education are public servants to act in
accordance with the will Of the major
ity of the people and to the best inter-
ests of the children to be educated, for
whom this money was paid into the
treasury. l am in favor of both jani-
tors and teachers being paid according
to the talent and ability required, and
the efficiency of the service rendered.
According to the rule governing the
janitors, they are required to make
their two or three fires by half past
eight O'Clock in the morning, as the
teachers are required to be there by
that time. Then the janitors are not
required to be about the buildings any
more until four in the evening; then
they sweep two or three school rooms
apiece. lock up and go home. Thus
the janitors have nothing to do about
the school premises from $50 a. m.
until after o'clock p. M Therefore
| hope you and the tax payers will con-
tinue to agitate this matter until the
wrong is rghted. l assure you and
them that | will do all | can to help
in the work. The janitors who did the
work so satisfactorily last year would
be very glad to do the work the ensu-
ing year for the same salary they got
last year So, why this extra unneces-
sary outlay? J. v. CONWAY,
Member of B. Of E., Sd Ward.

A Note From San Miguel County.

Hon. William Frank, chairman of the
board of county commissioners of San
Miguel county, writes to the New Mexl-
can from Los Aamos as follows: The
people are all happy and busily en-
gagged in harvesting the largest crop OF
wheat they have had for many years
hereabouts; it has been rather dry, but
copious rains fall now every day, which
l think will ensure good winter pastu-
rage. Politically matters so far are
very quiet. | think it must be that
every body is too busy with prosperity
and that people have made up their
minds to vote the Republican ticket and
therefore do not care to and have no
time to talk politics."

AN INSANE PATIENT.
He Should Be Sent to the Asylum at Las
Vegas

Samuel Roberts, of Chama, aged about
30 years, is confined in the county jail,
and until yesterday he has been in
shackles, being violently insane. He
was brought to st Vincent hospital a
week ago by young George Hill, who
said he had been sick a week or two and
asked the Sisters to care for him. As no
sick person is ever turned away from
this institution, he was taken In. That
night the man refused to go to bed and
sat all night long in one position on
chair. Next morning he developed a
violent fit of insanity and attempted to
jump from the window, arousing all the
sick in the house by screaming, Fannie!
Fannie!' In a lucid moment he eX-
planned that Fannie" was his wife; that
she had run away, and that he could not
live without her. Finding that they had
on their hands a crazy man, the Sisters
sent for the sheriff and turned Roberts
over to that officer.

Manila, August 12.-Reports from the
Visayas islands show that there has

TOWNS DESERTED.
The Americans garrisoned three
towns on Samar island, two of which
shelter tenth of the original inhabi-
tants, who suffer from the continual
'sniping'' of the rebels from surround
ing hills. The third Is without any ma
tive inhabitants, the rebel outpOsts, a
mile away, preventing their return to
their homes. General Lucban punished
the islanders who have any relations
with Americans. Cebu is likewise dis
turbed.
AMNESTY WITHOUT EFFECT.
Barring those who have taken the
oath of allegiance to the United States,
the rebels are imprisoned in Manila.
When amnesty was proclaimed it prac-
