With a screech, a yell, whoop ana
a roar; with the changing of bells, the
explosion of bombs and the fierce and
melancholy wall of high pressure
steam whistles, the Ell Paso Midwinte-
Carnival commenced at noon today.
At that hour the principal streets
were blockaded by thousands of out of
town people and the midway was a
mass of struggling humanity, fighting
and tugging to gain advantageous pc
sitions.
The weather for the opening day
was perfect. The sun shone brilliantly
and the crisp January air with scarce
a breeze stirring, was almost warm
enough for shirt waists. In this the
visitors from afar found their chief de-
light. On the sunny side of the streets
pretty girls from eastern Texas were
to be seen strolling along and touch
ing elbows with the booted and spurred
cowboy from the ranges of Arizona
and New Mexico, or the blanketed
peon from the interior of old Mexi-
CO. ~.
The yariegated scene on the streets
of FL Paso in the January sunshine on
the opening day of the Carnival was
probably such as could not be witness
ed anywhere else in the world and was
one that would delight the heart of the
cultured Boston tourist or esthetic Wis
itor from the effete east.
All arrangements for the greatest
entertainment of the southwest-the Ell
Paso Midwinter Carnival-were COM
pleted this morning in readiness for
the grand opening at noon
That wonderland, the midway, with
its snake eater, it's flying lady and 9TH
er mysteries has already assumed the
proportions of village of tents and
its narrow streets are blocked by strug-
Cling crowds of sight seers. Across
the Little Plaza, along Oregon and st.
Louis streets the mysterious tents are
ranged and all will be ready with their
exhibits by nightfall. Up Oregon street
the $4,000 electric fountain has been
tested and found to be in perfect work
ing order. Tonight the current will
be turned on the wires connecting with
all illuminations and the lights will be
kept burning until the celebration ends.
The city began to fill up with guests
last night. The delayed trains brought
in enough people to overflow the regu-
lar lodging houses and cots were in de-
mand. All the big hotels and room
ing houses near the heart Of the city

A GREAT SPEECH

Organization

A GREAT SPEECH

Owing to the Santa Fe passenger
train being late the miners associa-
ton did not convene until about 30
The majority of the mining men in at
tendance at the meeting came in on the
Santa Fe and this made it important
that the train be in before the conven-
ing of the association
Just as soon as these who came on
the Santa Fe could gather at the
chamber of commerce the mining men
marched to the court house preceded
by the McGinty band, and the meeting
was called to order in the district court
room by Felix Martinez, who read the
call for the meeting and informed
those gathered that the election of a
temporary chairman was in order.
Juan Hart nominated for temporary
chairman John Y. Hewitt, of White
Oaks. and his election was made by ac-
clamation. Mr.. Martinez then appoint
ed Juan Hart. Mr.. Jones, of Mexico.
and Judge A. B. Fall a committee Of
three to escort Mr.. Hewitt to the chair.
Mr.. Hewitt made short address N
which he expressed his gratefulness
for the honor bestowed upon him and
told the mining men present that he
believed the time had come when some
sort of an association of the mining
men should be organized He said that
to meet and compare experiences with
each other would result in the mining
men learning many things they did not
know and suggested chat Ell Paso is SO
situated as to make the best headquac-
ters for the association when organ

After the address of the temporary
chairman a temporary secretary was
elected, that nonor falling and fitting
well to Ernest E. Russell. secretary of
the chamber of commerce. his election
being by acclamation after nomination
by A. w. Clifford.
Prof. Carrera, who is here from Las
Cruces with his world famous mineral
exhibit. was called upon after the cleo
ton of the secretary and delivered to
the meeting the splendid address
which is printed elsewhere in today's
paper.
After thei completion of Prof. Car
reras address Mr.. Martinez suggested
that a vice-presldent be elected and
nominted Mr.. Jones, of Mexico. for
election to that Office. Mr.. Jones arose
and declined because of being strang-
er, but Mr.. Martinez insisted that he
accept. But at this juncture Juan Hart
suggested that it was not worth while
to elect a temporary vice president, Il
very sensible suggestion, which caused

BURNED AT STAKE
HORRIBLE PUNISHMENT METED
OUT TO A HUMAN BRUTE IN
STATE OF KANSAS.

| LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Jan. 10
Fred Alexander, the negro who wa.
charged with assaulting Miss Eva Rott
last Saturday evening, was taken from
the Jail here yesterday afternoon aud
burned at the stake
Alexander was also thought to be
the man who assaulted and then killed
Pearl Forbes last year. He had been
in the state penitentiary since his ar
rest a few days ago, out the peniten-
tiary warden turned him over to the
sheriff late yesterday and he was taken
to the Jail. The prisoner was guarded
by over forty policemen on the way
from the penitentiary to the Jail but
the people learned that he was going to
Jail and no sooner than the keys were
turned on Alexander's cell than the
mob was organized and at the Jail.
At first they asked for the man but
being refused a battering ram was
found and the door broken down.
mob, with the use of hammers and
chisels, forced their way into the cell
in which Alexander was hidden. They
dragged him from his cell by the coll
lar amid wild cheers and confusion.
Some one suggested that he be burned
as they did it in Texas and Colorado
and that idea prevailed. IN
Taking the negro to the spot where
he committed the murder, the mob tied
him to a railroad rail and burned him.
Alexander denied to the last that he
committed the crime and several times
called to Pearl Forbes's father saying
that he had the wrong man.
After life was extinct the mob be-
gan to disperse but several remained
and piled wood on the fire until the
body was almost destroyed. When the
fire began dying down the curious
crowds began to gather and mutilate
the body, each wanting some souvenir
of the occasion. The chain that bound
him to the post was cut to pieces ano
carried away as was also every piece
of burnt wood and charred flesh and
bone.
Governor Stanley had cautioned the
penitentiary warden not to give the
prisoner to the sheriff. thinking that
mob violence might follow, and is in
dignant bver the affair today. He had
ordered soldiers to Leavenworth to pro-
tect Alexander but the citizens per-
suaded him to recall them as it would
irritate matters.

is GOOD FOR HAWAII
ARGUMENT IN PEARL HARBOR
CASE.
Counsel for the Government Calls At
tention to Benefits of Forts and Naval
Station.

The evidence in the case of the United
States against the Bishop estate was
closed last night, and the argument be-
gan this morning. The case will prob
ably go to the jury tomorrow. At the
opening of the court this morning
Judge Estee suggested limiting counsel
in argument. but stated that he would
not impose any limit, unless by mutual
agreement. w. A. Kinney said he was
willing to agree upon limit, but Dunno
didn't seem disposed to make an agree
ment, and the argument opened with
no time limit set The judge stated
that he would not charge the jury until
tomorrow in any event, as he wanted
time TO consider Instructions, ana dld
not want to send the jury out late in
the day, with a prospect of an all night
session.
Dunno opened for the government
with some remarks about the right Of
eminent domain, which he said the gov
eminent was exercising in bringing the
proceedings to get Pearl Harbor land.
''One of the most important duties of
a government is to protect it's citizens"
said the attorney, and in the perfor-
nance of this duty lands are needed
for lighthouses, forts. naval stations,
etc. To enable the government to get
such lands, it has the right of eminent
domain. to which private cOnveniences
and rights must be subordinate. The
latter must yield to the greatest good
of the greatest number.
THE federal government has said
that in a place like Hawaii, isolated as
IL is in the ocean, IT is proper and right
for the protection of citizens and prop
erty that there should be forts and
modern defenses provided and that a
naval station should be established
| here.
This is good for Hawaii, and is for
the benefit of all people here. At the
outset therefore, there should be no pre-
| sumption against the government be-
| cause it has begun these proceedings Il
get private lands. It's purpose is a good
one and should have the support OF
every broad minded citizen of the
Territory. When we consider the great
damage that would result from seizure
of the Islands. which might quickly oc-
cur in case of war, we see how bene-
fetal is the purpose Of the government
The interruption of business stoppagt
of progress and destruction of property
that would result from a seizure of tn,
| Islands would cause losses that ne
amount of compensation could offset
After describing in terms of praise
the course of the government, in bring
| ing legal proceedings to have a value
placed, by it's own citizens on the lane
81 wanted, Dunno plunged into the mat
ter of values discussing the evidence
at great length Kinney is to reply fol-

Commissioner Charles a. Conant. VINO
was sent to the Philippines to inVesti-
gate the currency question. His recon-
mendations are submitted to Congress
for it's action. The most important are.
That there should be a distinctlvely
Philippine coin in silver, which shall be
legal tender for so cents in Pold, to be
called the peso and to contain %
grammes of silver. The coin is to be
issued i'm such quantities as trade re-
quires, and sustained at a parity with
gold by limitation of the amount coined.
The Mexican silver dollar and other
coins shall cease to be legal tender af-
ter a certain date.
1t is also recommended that national
banks in both the Philippines and the
United States should have authority to
establish branches throughout the is
lands and in the United States. Power
to issue notes should not be extended to
any bank having a capital Of less than
$500 900. Mortgage banks with a caDital
MT less than 1000, 600 are recommended
to make loans on real estate.
1t is recommended that the Treasurer
of the United States be authorized Ia
receive deposits from the government OF
the Philippine islands and that the
treasury Of the Philippine islands may
be designated by the Secretary of Wal
as legal depository of public money.

VESSELS NOT LIABLE.
Have No Standing In Suits
For Damages.

A decision Of interest to Coast ship
ping men was handed down by Judge
HanfOrd in the United States court at
Tacoma. Washington, several days ago,
defining the attitude and responsibility
of a ship in relation to stoWaways. The
case decided was that of Drs. j. Will
liam Scanned and G. w. Overmeyer of
Aberdeen, Wash, who libeled the San
Francisco schooner Laura Madison to
enforce payment for their services as
physicians in treating n stoWaway who
wHs injured aboard the schooner.
Judge Hanford finds for the schooner
and dismisses the suit at the cost of
libellants. The court states that the
trade between Grays HarbOr and San
Diego, when one day at sea on the re-
turn voyage from San Diego a stow
away was discovered aboard. The cap
tain required the stowaway to sign the
ships articles to serve as a member of
the crew to the end of the voyage, and
he was marked on the articles as
stowaway. He was not required TO do
seamens work but was willing to lend
a helping hand whenever he found an
opportunity, and while he was volun-
tarily hauling on the braces he fell on
deck and was severely injured. On ar
rival at Aberdeen Drs. Scanned and
Overmeyer removed him to a hospital
and treated him. Judge Hanford holds
that the vessel did not become liable
for such services. as the stOwaway went
aboard wholly at his own risk,
