Statistics show that the average num-
Der of passenger per sleeping car car
ried last year was only seven. In the
face of this fact it is easy to under
stand why the Pullman company has
need of other sources of revenue be-
sides it's charge for berths. seats and
buffet service. At the same tine it
can conduct the business upon basis
more economical and more profitable
than the railroad companies, and the
latter have found it better to permit
this and also to pay the sleeping car
company for operating the service.

Roswell is greatly pleased with the
change of ownership of the Pecos Val

extension to this city and also one
from near Roswell to Albuquerque are
almost certain to result from the
change but every rose has its thorn.
General Manager Nudge. while in
Roswell last week, informed the citi

cos Valley road will be moved to ANA

erected at Amarillo and until it is COM

in Roswell. 1t will be some time yet
before any of the shop machinery will
be moved and there is some probable

Three Alleged Bunco Men Fined.

Three alleged confidence men, who
found in Ell Paso such a fruitful field
that they remained after the carnival
had ended. have come to grief.
Friday night they induced a young
man named Baker to wager his money
on a new trick they were introducing,
which is called 1.-The match box trick. -
Baker had never seen anything like
it before and being willing to do any
thing once he put up his money
amounting to $35 and lost it
Two of the swindlers, G. c. Sher-
wood and Kid" Snow, were subse-
quently arrested by Billy Smith, but
the third man could not he found.
When brought before the recorder the
men were charged with holding up
young Baker but they claimed that
they did not hold him up but merely
buncoed him out of his money. They
also alleged that they secured only S25.
The recorde.. decided to administer
by law in such cases and fined the two
buncoers SOL each. He told them
that they would either pay or go to
the rock pile. They were unable to
pay and are still in Jail.
The prisoners confessed to the Of
ficers that a third person aided in the
swindling of the young man and gave
Il minute description OIL MIN Oy WHICH
he could be identified. Accordingly
asst night Officer Taylor arrested one
Pete Childs, who was accused of being
the missing bunco operator. He de-
MED that he had participated in any
skin games, but said he was base

prepare for the coming season. The
recorder did not believe him and as
sessed a fine of SOL against him.

TURKEY IS IN DANGER.
May be That Concert Of Powers VIII
be Dissolved

May be That Concert Of Powers VIII
be Dissolved.
Washington, Aug. EFT is feared in
official circles here that the Withdrawal
of the French ambassador from Con
stantfnople marks the dissolution Of the
concert of European powers under
which the integrity of Turkey was
guaranteed. By the treaty Of Berlin
All the great powers Of Europe sub
scribed to an agreement to refrain from
any act that would tend to the destruc-
ton of the Ottoman empire This &C
ton was taken to forestaH what were
conceived to be the designs of Russia
to seize on Turkish territory, and Rus
STA herself was led to subscribe to the
agreement by force of circumstances
Although several times severely
strained. notably by such events as the
last war between Turkey and Greece,
this pact has so far endured without
amendment but it is apprehended now
that if the action of France is carried
out to the extreme indicated in the dis
patches each of the other signatory
powers viii feel obliged IN self-pTOtec-
ton to disregard the agreement and
press upon Turkey the vast financial
and other claims that have acCumu
lated in the past quarter of q century,
with a result of disrupting the pres
ent Turkish government.

the mayor and chief Of police. These are
merely press reports about the chief.
and they may be Incorrect.
Replying TO Robertson. Cottreu said
It was true that the resolution referred
10 press reports. "It is true" he went
on, that the reports were the same
IN all the papers. 1t is true. further,
that although nearly week has
passed since they were printed, Chief
Hilton has not caused any kind Of corr
reCtiOn 10 be inserted.
But I have talked with a member
of the committee that saw the chief.
and L have that interview word for
word There is nothing left but for the
council to instruct the chief Of police
as to his sworn duty, If he has forgot
ten IL. The committee TO WhiEh AR
Robertson referred did recommend that
all the ordinances be enforced. This is
something entirely foreign to that and.
besides, in some of the newspapers. the
reports of what we did were garbled.
Here we have a head of department
who absolutely refuses to comply VITA
the request of that committee or 0ffer II
any help whatever. We cannot afford
to have for our chief of police "a man
who sets himself up as great chief
tain, as one better than those who are
over him. If the ordinance against the
Sunday saloon is bad. let us repeal IT,
but il is not for the chief TO say
whether II is DAD or EOOQ-
Hartenstein spoke briefly in favor Of
Robertson's amendment. He said ne
would vote for it because he believed
the chief ought TO have a chance to
say whether or not he made the state
ment referred to. II am heartily in
favor Of having the chief on the carpet
to ascertain whether or not he has
overstepped his authority" Hartenstein
concluded
Then CottreH- spoke again. 1T seems
TO me" said he. that the council is
trying TO shirk a great responsibility
We have the right TO call IN question
the acts Of any head Of department
Here is a case where a department
head has refused to do his sworn duty
It is his duty to enforce the law. and
It is a notorious fact that he hasn't
done it It is not necessary 70 caU
him here TO instruct him to do his
duty"
Death-bed Repentance.
Robertson closed the debate. Here
is a charge based purely on newspaper
stated that the newspapers garbled the
reports of his committee meetings. Yet
/ suppose we must take these re-
ports as correct because Mr. CottFelI
has not seen fit to publicly deny them.
We all know the laws are not being
Tigidly enforced and this death-bed re-
pentance siCkens me. We've been here
more than eighteen months nov. and
we've known all that time that the
laws were not being enforced Now.
as we are about 10 die, are we going
to repent in the hope of going to
heaven It's all rot. that's what it is"
RObertsOn's amendment was then
adopted. Cottreu being the only mem.

Of the supreme court Of the District of

This is one Of eleven cases recently
brought by persons claiming right &c

nard sustained the demurrer Of the
secretary and ordered the dismissal Of

such q proceeding as that involving
the opening and allotment OF Indian

would not interfere with the exercise
of such a privilege by an executive
