More Base Ball.

Saturday and Sunday base ball
enthusiasm reached greater
height in Socorro than ever be-
fore. Large crowds were out to
witness the games, San Miguel
band discoursed its liveliest
music from the grand stand, and
every man on the diamond play
ed as though his own life de-
pended upon the result of the
game. The result was a vic
tory for the Americans IN both
events, the score being "a to II
in the first game and 13 to 7 in
the second. Considerable money
is said to have changed hands on
these results. The lovers of the
sport are promised a lively game
tomorrow. The uniforms of the
American team have finally ar
rived and both mines will appear
in full dress. May the best man
win.

GLOVE FACTORY FOR SOCORRO.
Mass Meeting Held for the Purpose Of
Promoting the Enterprise. .-Deiln-
ite Results Expected Soon.

1t has been known for some
time that negotiations were on
foot with eastern parties looking
to the establishment of a glove
factory in Socorro. Pursuant to
a call by Mayor M. Cooney a
mass meeting convened in the
court house Wednesday evening
for the purpose of eiciting pub
lie opinion and formulating a
plan of action. A goodly num-
ber of Socorro's representative
business men were present,
though a few of such were con-
spicuous by their absence.
Mayor Cooney called the meet
ing to order and stated its object.
Seferiuo Abeyta was elected sec
retary and A. A. Sedillo inter
prefer.
In order that everybody might
have a clear understanding of
the situation, Mayor Cooney
caused all his correspondence
with the eastern parties to be
read and interpreted. 1t appears
that the company contemplating
the enterprise ask this city to
furnish them two acres of ground
beside the railroad and erect
thereon the walls of an adobe
building suitable to their pur-
pose. They ask further that
this property be exempt from
taxation for a period of five
years, and that the city water be
furnished them free of cost, also
transportation for a carload of
machinery and two men from
Chicago. In return, the compa-
ny agrees to begin operations as
soon as possible, employing from
Is to 20 hands during the first
six months, twice that number
during the second six months,
and increasing the number there
after as the needs of the business
may require.
On a motion a committee OF
twelve was chosen to take the
company's proposition under ad-
visement, to find out by consulta-
tiou with the business men of the
city what could be done toward
complying with the company's
requirements, and to report at a
meeting in the city hall Friday
evening. Following are the mem.
bers of the committee: Abrar
Abeyta, Juan Jose Baca, Jose E,
Torres, AnicetoC. Abeytia, Ricar.
do Abeyta, Estevan Baca, A. d,
Coon, f. G.. Bartlett, ]. f. Smith
A. Winkler, p. N. Yunker, and
M. Loewenstein. On motion
Mayor Cooney was requested tC
act as chairman of the commit.
tee.
At the meeting of the commit.
tee last night it was simply rec.
ommended that additional infor,
nation be obtained from the
eastern company before final
action is taken. The effort tC
secure this enterprise should be
heartily seconded by every citi
zen of Socorro. The establish
ment of a glove factory here
means the expenditure by the
proprietors of not less than $50,
600 year.

Panama, Colombia, April 5.-This
city was the scene of wild enthusiasm
on the part of the conservatives last
night, when Governor Salazar made
public the contents OF the following
dispatch received from President
Marrowquin: "Bogota: General
Gozalez Valencia has defeated and
completely destroyed the armies OF
Generals Focion Soto and Juan Nc
Allister. General Uribe-Uribe, who
invaded Colombian territory via Ne
dina. in the department of Boyaca,
was also defeated by General Nicolas
Pardamo."
Governor Salazar informed the cor

tically, the end OF the revolution,
leaving only the isthmus to be pae-
flied.

swindling methods which have been

CUMMINGS BILL PASSES
PROVIDES FOR REORGANIZATION
OF THE SUPREME COURT.
Judges viii Receive $4,000 Year and
viii Hold Practically Con-
tinuous Session.


tinuous Session.
Des Moines, April 7.-One of the i'm
portant bills of the session has finish
ed it's course through the legislature.
This is the Cummings bill for the re-
organization of the supreme court.
The house concurred in the senate
amendments to this measure and thus
insured its enactment into law. The
bill will not go into effect until January
/, 1904. II provides for an increase
of the judges salaries from $4,000 to
$4,000 per year and its effect will be
practically continuous sessions of the
court. 1t will also, not in terms, but in
practice, require the judges to make
their residence in Des Moines.
The bill has been pending most of
the session. II was introduced in the
house by Cummings and referred to the
committee on compensation of public
officers. 1t was reported out with
minor amendments. The house dis,
cussed it and returned it to the same
committee. where it was emasculated.
1t finally got through the house, but it
provided merely for an increase of sal.
aries to So 900. The senate substituted
for this bill a measure that was
practically the original Cummings bill
and passed it and it was this measure
the house has just endorsed by con.
currence in the senate amendments to
the house bill.
The Cummings bill provides for three
sessions of the supreme court. The
first will begin on the second Tuesday
in January and end the first Monday in
May. The second will begin the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in
May and extend to the third Monday
in September. The third will begin
the third Tuesday after the third Mon.
day in September and will end the
third Saturday in December. Thus the
bill contemplates a practically con.
tlnuous term of court. Vacations are
allowed, but are not to exceed thirty
days except between the first Monday
in July and the third Monday in Sep.
TENDER. No Judge is to receive any
compensation for work done In any
other line than that pertaining to his
office. 1t is expected the court under
the new law will be enabled to catch
up with it's work. No more cases are
to be submitted at one term than can
be decided by the court the next term.
