All those stories to the effect that

shown to be unfounded. His constitu-

anything honest, and he wandered on
to the great farm OF w. III. Brown and
found 4 place. He worked days and
studied evenings. The fact that Brown
owned the farm, and that he was
Browns hired man, didn't bother him q
bit. He made up his mind that he
would be AZ big a man as his employer

think the committee from this city did
effectual work in convincing the senate
that Beveridge's reports were false.
We proved that Beveridge's investiga-

tanning testimony against us.

lieve all the others of the committee
believe that We will get statehood"

VERDICT OF TRINIDAD cOsoNEa's JURY

Washington. Dec 29.-The Venezue-
Ian negotiations do not await upon
President Castro. BY latest advices ii
it noted that President Castro is ex.
pected at Caracas today and it is felt
that he will not consume much time in
making up his mind to accept the pro-
posals held out to him through Minis.
ter Bowen by the allied powers. 1t
now seems probable that Minister
Bowen will come to Washington as
Venezuela's representative on the com
mission which will draw up the pro
tocol providing for submission of the
claims of the powers TO The Hague tri
bunal 1t has been decided that he
may so represent Venezuela, notwith
standing the fact that he is at presen,
charged with the interests of Great
Britain, Germany, Italy and other Eu
ropean powers in Venezuela. The Sc
lection of Bowen will cause a post
ponement of the assembling of the pro
posed commission until he can arrive
here from Caracas.

Secretary p. f. McCanna, of the
Commercial club, again received a
communication from s. e. Edmunds
of Cincinnati, dealing with the pros,
pective cultivation of tobacco in the
Rio Grande valley. Mr.. Edmunds is
considered an expert tobacco grower
and thinks that he has hit on a plan
by which tobacco growing might be
experimental with in the river valley
at a very small expense to any one
person. which. taken in the light he
throws on the subject, if successful
would yield nice profits. The business
men of the city will probably consider
Mr.. Edmunds' plan.

CONTEST GASES ENDED.
Conclusion Of Testimony and Argu-
ments in SoeoHO Cases.
DECISION OF COURT AWAITED.

The Socorro county election cases
are ended in the district court as far
as testimony and aguments are con-
cerned says the Socorro .Chieftain.
The last bit of testimony was taken
Friday morning. and the attorneys
concluded their arguments Saturday
The court will take the case under ad-
visement and it is thought that on or
before January ! the decision will be
rendered.
AS has already been stated in these
columns there is-a general feeling of
satisfaction with the manner in which
Judge Mcmillan has conducted the
trial. No one seems disposed to COM
plain of unfairness or partiality in his
decisions. There is also a feeling of
confidence that the decision will be
in accordancefwith the law and evil
dence as the court interprets them.
At any rate it is earnestly hoped that
the ueC1SlO0 Will meet WltH u quiet dC-
quiescence and no weight given to
any reckless talk emanating from ire
sponsible persons.
The contest cases are remarkable in
some respects. In the first place GER
tain candidates defeated on the face OF
the returns by majorties of 300 in a
total vote of $500 have undertaken to
prove that they were beaten by means
of fraudulent ballot. In the next
place, to do this they must cause to be
thrown out 324 ballots cast in good
faith. Finally, the cases have raised
several questions without precedent to
the application Of the election law
These facts are of sufficient import
ance TO make the history of the cases
noteworthy in the legal annals OF
New Mexico and to attract to the trial
of the case the scrutinizing attention
of lawyers and courts far outside the
| bounds of this territory.

Of the club speaks the Isleta language
very wei land knows many OF its best
people. In this manner everything OF
interest was visited There were many
interesting sights to be seen yesterday
in the usually quiet pueblo.
The dancing spirit predominated and
a lively scene followed when any one
OF the Indians refused 10 dance. A
squad of six painted bucks were sent
after them, and when they were cap
tured they. were thrown into the cold
water in the Rio Grande. The dancers
were divided into two different parties,
one painted with white and the other
black paint. Each danced half hour
at time in the spacious church yard.
Then they were relieved by the other
party. This was kept up until sun
down. II a camera was brought to
view near the dance trouble was sure
to follow.

Tuesday Night, February II.

The members of the fire department
of the local railway shops are making
elaborate preparations for ball to be
given by them at Colombo hall on the
night of February II. The boys intend
to have a very swell affair and for that
reason they have begun their making
of arrangements so far in the future.
The proceeds of the ball are to go to
a fund being raised for the purpose OF
buying the members of the company
new uniforms. After the heroic work
done by them at the recent Santa Fe
Pacific hospital the boys are very de-
serving and their ball is sure to be lib
orally patronized.
Very little is known of this organi-
zation outside OF the people employed
at the shops. It has eighteen members
and a full listgof officers.

new officers were elected and are as

Jose MoIino at ST. Joseph's Hospital
in Bad Condition.


Jose Molino, the young man who
was found on the Santa Fe tracks at
Laguna early last Saturday morning
in a horribly bruised and unconscious
condition, and who was brought here
Saturday night and placed in the st.
Joseph's hospital for treatment, lies
on his cot at that institution still un-
conscious. His skull is fractured and
until he arouses from his present
stupor, it is impossible to say whether
or not he will live. His mother, Felic-
atus Dominguez. who lives at 413
North Broadway. was seen this morn
ing and said that her son was 10 years
old and had gone to Gallup about a
month ago to work in a barber shop.
He had written that he had resigned
his position at Gallup and would re.
turn to Albuquerque. AS he had no
money and no person was missed on
any of the trains which arrived here
Friday night and Saturday morning, it
is more than likely that he was steal.
ing a ride and unfortunately fell under
the train. His father is employed at
the Cochiti saloon.
