an executive council. eleven Of whose

interior force to prevent the Constitution

should have also a lower house, and

has returned from brief visit to his home
at Kansas Civ. He brings back oncourag-

evidence OF its unusually fine acoustic ar
rangements it is related that at a recent
orchestral concert seats that were four
hundred feet from the stage were bid up
TO higher prices than the average by per-
sons who had frequently attended concerts
in the hall and who knew where the choice
seats were Mr. Cowherd says that he
closely investigated the reports Of the ex-
tortiouata charges decided upon by the
hotel men OF Kansas City. and satisfied
himself that there is practically no founda-
ton for these reports. AT some of the
small hotels the rates have been increased
fer the convention week, but there has

Bunco Steerers are Unusually
Active and .Pickpockets
Are Plenty.
Against Them, But the Police
Cannot Find Any Direct
Evidence On Which to
Prosecute.

Juarez is crowded with pick-pockets
and bunco Steerers.
There are said to be sixteen pick
pockets and eight or ten bunco men at
work at the Plaza de Toros and they
are too smooth" to be caught in the
act. The police force are keeping a
close watch on them but as yet have
not been able to make any arrests.
Every day several people report to the
police hat they have lost watches.
money and other valuables but the
| deed cannot he traced to any particu-
lar one.
The pickpockets are led by Spanish
woman and her husband. Four years
this same woman was caught stealing
and was put in Jail and kept there until
the nesta closed. \. n. DeGuerra was
then in charge of affairs and he clear
ed the gang" out. The woman has
not been seen in Juarez from the time
she was released until this week when
she reappeared with a splendid corps
OF assistants
She has new man for a husband
but it Is said that he is as clever with
his fingers as No. l was The mana
gers of the plaza know all these peo-
pie when they see them but have been
unable to trace any particular crime to
them. They have appepaled to the
mayor and police force to arrest them
but the latter claim they cannot do it
without some direct accusation. The
managers. however. contend that it
can be done on the ground of vagrancy
as it is done in Ell Paso out the mayor
does not think so.
The bunco men are Americans and
are dressed as wealthy tourists. They
appear to be strangers and are greatly
amused atthe various games. Often
they propose to play and after losing
a small amount propose a quiet game
in some saloon. The unsuspecting Wis
itor accepts the invitation and comes
out without a cent.
The pickpocket crew operate around
the cheap gambling tables and when
the strangers get interested in the
games their watches and money dis
appear A lady lost a watch at one of
the games this week but made no COM
plant because she would have to tell
where she lost it. The management
has requested The Herald to warn the
visitors of this state of affairs and re-
quest the visitors to he careful and ra
port every ofrense they hear of.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. S.-Next
week will be another busy one in the
house. According to the program the
committee on rules has SO far outlined.
the first subject of consideration Mon
day will be the judicial, executive. and
Legislative appropriation bill. This
will be put out of the way by a vote
either Monday afternoon or Tuesday.
and then the war tax reduction bill
will come up.
Republicans seem to be united on
this masure, except perhaps on the
beer tax question while democrats have
been unable to agree on Underwood's s
substitute providing an income and in
heritance tax, and wiping out the en-
tire war revenue. The consideration
OF this bill will be interrupted by the
centennial program Wednesday. but
will be resumed Thursday.
No agreement for bringing the bill
to vote has yet been received, but its
passage should be delayed beyond
Thursday. Time will next be given to
the consideration Of another approprf-
alton bill. which viii be quickly prepar-
cd and as quickly disposed Of
The senate will discuss the treaty.
