A UNIQUE GLOBE TRoTTER.

[Cedar Rapids Republican,
Tuesday there came into the city on
the front end of one of the cars on the
fast mail an individual known to the
world as "a No. l." He has never
given his correct name, but he is known
in most of the large cities of the United
States and Canada. He has travelled
altogether about half million miles
and it is his boast that he has never
paid out a cent for transportation. He
makes 1t practice of beating the rail-
way companies and he is always able
to sell enough of the products of his
Jack knife to make good living in
every town in which he stops, for he is
an expert wood carver and he makes
some amusing articles out of an ordi-
nary potato.
"a No. /" is about thirty years of
age. He was born in st. Francisco.
He speaks four languages fiuently,
English French. German and Spanish.
He has travelled in Central America,
Mexico. the United States and Cana
da, Europe and in India and Ceylon.
He has never spent cent for travel
to or in any of these countries. he
makes it rule TO read daily, TO keep
himself scrupulously clean and never
to associate with the ordinary tramps
and hoboes. He carries a medal pre-
sented him by Richard K. Fox. pro-
prietor of the Police Gazette, in 1884
for record breaking trip from New
York to San Francisco, in company
with reporter for the Police Gazette
beating their way in little over eleven
days.
"a No. /" vouchsafed this informa-
ton, backed by the printed and other
testimony, and then he shot down the
stairs, stopping long enough on the
first landing to leave number OF
hieroglyphics as a memento OF his visit
and a reminder of the fact that mar
can go any where and do most any
thing without money if he only has
cheek enough.

A Package Missing at CarrizozO.
Progress.

A Wells-Fargo package con-
tanning 500 disappeared at Car
rizozo, Friday night, April 4th,
and the next morning Joseph
:Ackerman, night operator at that
station, left for El Paso. He was
followed and arrested in Ell Paso
by Billie Smith, special officer
for the Rock Island, and brought
to White Oaks.
Ackerman was given a hearing
before Judge Collier Tuesday
afternoon, and was boutid over in
the sum of $500, to await the
action of the grand jury; failing
to find sureties defendant was
taken to Lincoln.
j. K. Graybeal, the agent at
Carrizozo, testified that on the
night the package disappeared
two packages were given to Ack-
erman who in turn was to deliver
them to the express agent on the
train. These packages contained
500 and $1.60, the $l.6O package
reached the train for which Ack-
erman produced receipt, but the
500 failed to show up. The

prosecution also showed, or at
tempted to show, that Ackerman
was without money before the
package was lost, and that when
he was arrested he had $50 on
his person.
The defense had no witnesses,
but questioned the witnesses for
the prosecution. Defendant
claimed he never received but one
package, and proved by the agent
that he (Ackerman) had often
been in charge Of packages CON
tanning: $4,000 70 and ar |S $1,000; and he
further proves. 1d.,t BY. the agent that
the agent had paid him some
money. a day OF. two previous, and
proved by saloon man at Carri-
zozo that he had won SIS the
night before leaving for Ell Paso,

his possession when arrested.

came as soon as possible to raise
their bloody bodies to carry them
home for burial. Their friends
marked the place where each
body was found in death and re-
turned again with little boards
fashioned into crosses, and plan
ted one cross at each place where
the life-blood of their friends
ebbed away on the desert sands.
Far from home and friends these
forty men died at the hands of a
savage horde with no eye to wit
ness their horrible fate, or shed a
tear over them in their last strug-
giles of death. When | came to
the Territory in 1916 the "crosses"
were still standing on the present
site of the town which was built
in 1S4S, two years after | came.
The town was laid off and built
jointly by Americans and Mexi-
cans. The Mexicans being in the
majority, the Americans left the
naming of the town to them.
They said we will name it Las
Cruces, the crosses, having refer
ence to the great tragedy of 1910
and in remembrance of their Gotan-
trymen who shed their" blood on
the ground. Las Cruces is the
county seat of Dona Ana county
and the largest town in the Me-
silla Valley, which produces corn,
wheat, alfalfa, beans and every
variety of vegeta bles, with apples
peaches and grapes in abundance

J. A.~COOPER'S HOUSE BURNED.
A Bursting Lamp the Cause. The House
and Entire Contents a Total Loss.

An alarm of fire was sounded
Tuesday evening about $50, and
there was hurrying to and fro,
when the fire was located at Mr..
Cooper's place, about one half
mile above town. -,
1t is said that a lamp, filled
with oil, but not lighted, was. on
the mantel, that a., hot. fire was
blazing in the fireplace, and with
out any warning the lamp
bursted,J the oil running down the
wall, saturating paper and every
thing with which it came in con-
tact. When discovered an at
tempt was made to guard against
the danger, but it was too late;
for the oil reached the fireelimme-
diately igniting the paper on the
walls and ceiling, and it was all
so instantaneous that it was only
by a great effort on the part of
Mrs. Cooper and Harry .Comrey
that George Cooper, who was con-
fined to his bed with pneumonia,
was borne from the burning house.
The house and contents a total
loss--no insurance. This is the
second house Mr.. Cooper has lost
by fire in the same spot, and in
addition to these a similar disas-
ter occurred at his ranch the first
of the year in which he lost a
number of goats, corrals and a
large quantity of hay, involving
a loss of several hundred dollars.

Our village aggregating about
four thousand inha bitants, includ-
irrgs~its environments, is called
Las Cruces, The Crosses. The
name originated from an appall-
ing tragedy that took place on
the ground six years before the
town was built. The revolving
story handed down from the oldest
inha bitants runs in about this
way
In 1910 a party of New Mexi-
cans who. .liXed ~ a. nQasth naftlh Of IFS Santa .E2e,

ney south to the state of Chihua-

laden with blankets such as the
New Mexicans make by hand
loom in their section of the terri
tory. 1T was their custom to make
these'trips every year to barter
their goods for such fabrics as
they needed at home. For a Sc
ries of years they were accustomed
to make these excursions south
for trading purposes. Hitherto
nothing had occurred to mar the
serenity of their travels, until
they arrived at this point which
was more than an ugly mesquite
Jungle, we'll adapted for an Indian
ambush. The number of Indians
in the party making onslaught
will never be known. The dash
was sudden and overwhelming
like the General Custer massacre

the bloody story. 1t took some
time in those days of crude civil.

A Chance for BiblIOphiIes,

ship. or, through the process of a gen
erous evolution, are supplied with
wings. the matter of good pavements
| for pedestrians will demand atten-
ton. Since we are to make greater
city, improvement should begin at the
| foundation. The statistics in posses
| sion of the District Commissioners
show that progress in this direction
has been very slow. The conclusion
| is that something should be done to
make it consistent with the spirit of
| the hour.
A few years ago brick pathways
| for citizens We're considered superb
| and second only to those of the blaZ
ing and bejeweled thoroughfares of
! the better country where municipal
quandaries do not arise. But brick
pavements in busy city quickly wear
out. That is what they have done in
the Capital.
In the meantime, however, the in
ventive genius of man has come to the
rescue with street floors of smooth
and durable substance. The progress
sive elements of the community have
readily taken advantage of the oppor-
tunity to better their sidewalks, but
the town is still more than well sup
piled with the humpy, uneven pave
ment that catches the unwary and
reminds one Of the rocky road to Dub
lin.
Since a large maiority of the people
of Washington must for long time
to come make use of their pedal ex-
tremities in the function of locomo-
ton, one of the best objects of prog,
ress will be the perfection of the
walking areas of the city.
The Commissioners have repeatedly
recommended that cement be substi-
tuted for the corrugations and pit
falls now existing in many sections,
and their recommendation should find
response in the quarters of author
ity. Besides, public opinion should
back them in the crusade for smooth
streets, necessity for the comfort
of the people and for the transaction
of business.

PHILIPPINES TARIFF BILL.
Meeting of Senate Committee to BE
Held Thursday.

A meeting of the Senate Committee on
the Philippines will be held Thursday to
consider the bill. passed by the House of
Representatives before the holidays, ap-
plying the Dingley tariff rates to impor-
tations into the United States from the
islands
The bill will be reported back promptly
with an amendment making reduction
in these tariff rates of 20 or 25 per cent,
in addition to a reduction equivalent in
amount to the export duties levied by the
Philippine tariff.
No Opposition I'm Committee.
There will be practically no opposition
in the committee, as the Democrats will
content themselves with opposing the bill
ing substitute legislation. which has not
yet been fully formulated.
1t was the, original programme of the
Republicans in the Senate to make no re-
duction in the Dingley rates, except such
as would counteract the effect of the ex-
port duties on Philippine products, but
after consultation between the Secretary
of War and other officials of the Admin
istration and leading Senators the pro-
gramme above outlined was agreed upon
as the best thing to be done under the cir
cumstances.
The action of the Philippines Committee
may be used moreover as a precedent
for legislation in the case of Cuba. The
belief is general among Senators and
Representatives and Administration Off
Gals that Congress should grant the tariff
demanded in the appeals
from Cuban citizens that are flooding the
War Department, and 1t is not unlikely
a short parliamentary cut may be taken
toward accomplishing this by attaching
the Cuban legislation as an amendment to
the Philippines tariff bill to be reported
to the Senate after Thursdays meeting
Concessions Agreed Upon.
1t has now been practically agreed that
the best thing to do is to grant a reduc
tion of % per cent of the tariff rates on
importations of Cuban products into the
United States whenever like concessions
are granted on United States products
into Cuba.
1t is the belief of Senator Platt, chair
man of the Committee on Cuban Rela-
tions. and of other Congressman inter-
ested in the subject that this legislation
cannot be made effective until Cuba shall
set UP an Independent government. and If
the legislation is inserted in the Philip
pines bill as an amendment provision
will be made for having it take effect
when the Independent government of
Cuba becomes an established fact.

DEFECT In BANKRUPT LAW.
Feature That Baltimore Bankers Re-
gard as Objectionable.

Feature That Baltimore Bankers Re-
gard as Objectionable.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 13.-Baltimore bank
ers are much interested In the proposed
amendment of the National Bankrutcy
law, the most Objectionable feature of the
statute, from their point of view, being the
provision that If creditor has received
part payment of his claim within four
months next preceding the failure OF
debtor, such part payment must be sur
rendered before the creditor can have any
legal right in the settlement of the debt
Or's estate.
The operation of this law discloses that
creditors. in consequence of the feature de-
scribed, will generally endeavor to discover
how much the failure will pay on the dol
lar before surrendering any money they
may have collected within the four months
period. 1t not infrequently happens that
they prefer to hold on to what they have
rather than surrender II and take the
chances of obtaining more from the settle
ment. For instance, If a creditor has COL
lected half his claim. and the estate will
yield only so cents, or, perhaps, 60 cents
on the dollar, he would prefer to let the
balance go rather than be subjected to the
delays of settlement by receivers or as
signees.
Mr.. Lawrence B. Kemp. secretary Of the
Maryland Bankers Association, has re-
ceived letter from the Credit Mems Asso-
citation with reference to concert of action
in seeking an amendment of the law, and
he has requested that the Credit Mems As
socation send him description of the
amendments they propose. so that 1t may
be laid before the executive committee OF
the Bankers Association.
The Baltimore Clearing House Associa-
tion may also take action in the matter at
its annual meeting on January II.
