JEkyLL-AyDE.
The Double Life Rendered at Colomho
Hall Last Night.
JESSE JAMES TONIGHT.

The production of the strange case
of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde, one of the
most powerful dramas ever written, by
the Krause-Taylor company last night
held the large audience at Colombo
hall to the closest attention.
The ability with which Mr.. Taylor
handled the leading role, showed he
possesses much dramatic talent, al
though he cannot be compared to
O'Neal and Southern, who have devot-
ed years to this nerve-racking play.
To change from the kind hearted and
loving DR.. Jekyll to the demon Hyde,
whose murderous and dastardly crimes
are without comparison, requires an
equipment with which few actors are
endowed. Not alone are the physical
transformations wonderful. but the
mental and moral qualities change be-
yond recognition. The most interest
ing of human emotions are prominent
Ia every act.
The support of the company was
fairly good, considering the immensity
of the play.
The specialties, which relieved the
tragic scenes, were entertaining and
amusing.
"The Virginian" was the matinee
play this afternoon.
Jesse James," dramatization of
the stirring events which occurred in
the actual life of the James boys, will
close the weeks engagement.
The Krause-Taylor company have
furnished the theater going people of
albuquerque with a week of entertain
ment which was highly appreciated,

CLAY DEFEATED.
McGonlg|e, the Champion Roper, Has
His C0IoTS Lowered.
AN ARIZONA MAN WON.

One of the exciting events of the big
carnival at FL Paso with which con-
siderable disappointment was connect
ed was the first day of the roping con-
test, which began yesterday.
Clay McGonigle, the worlds cham
pion roper, was defeated by Jimmy
Gibson, of Phoenix, Ariz., who did the
trick in 36 seconds, S seconds better
than McGonigle's time.
McGonigle played in hard luck.
When he made his throw, the bull was
running so wildly that it turned a com
plete somersault. The frightened ami
NAL was on its feet in an instant, and
McGonigle was compelled to circle
his beast again before he could maxi
a throw He was also the first man on
the list, and did his roping while the
track was at its worst. McGonigle is
beyond doubt a good man, and would
have made better record, under more
favorable conditions, He beat all the
others save Gibson. But there is still
another day and eighteen more men
will have a chance TO beat Gibsons
record.
Large crowds were in attendance at
the roping contest and considerable
interest is being displayed along this
line.

hood Pointers.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WITH US.

Hon. F. A. Hubbell chairman of the
tee, returned last night from Wash
ington, where he has been in the in
terest of the statehood bill.
I'VE will surely have statehood" +"
said Mr.. Hubbell this morning. The
fight is waxing hotter all the time, but
the chances for the passage of the
statehood bill at the present session
are good, A majority of from sixteen
to twenty-four favors the bill at pres
ent and do not believe any of the tao
tics which the opposition are using
now or can use in the future will de-
feat the bill.
THE opposition are using the talk
ing method to defeat the bill The
statehood people have, ever since the
bill was brought up. been willing to put
the bill to vote, but the opposition have
and are now delaying the vote, which
would surely mean its passage, by re-
sorting to talk. The substance of
which is without substantial bearing.
"One prominent statehood senator
remarked that the big fight would be-
gin about the goth of this month. and
that they would grab the opposition by
the throat and end the fight by the
passage of the bill.
I'VE have President Roosevelt on
our side, which is another strong point
favoring the bill. | can see no reason
why the bill will not pass in some
form"
Mr.. Hubbell will go up to Santa Fe

Steamer in Bad Condition.

New York. Jan. 1.-THE first three
days the ST. Louis made fairly good
progress for her ability in the prevail
ing weather, which was rough and
squally with high cross seas. The
speed then became so slow that pas
sengers began to discuss it and be-
tween the rough. stormy weather and
the ships inability to make speed
they became so indignant that meet
ings were held. Resolutions were
adopted condemning the steamship
company for permitting passengers to
embark on a steamer whose condition
was so pitiable. 1t was decided that
these resolutions should be typewrit-
ten on arrival on shore and given to
the press for publication. Many pas
sengers expressed great Indignation.
Arrived at Pier.
The st. Louis arrived at her pier
and it was an affecting scene when the
passengers landed. Many first class
passengers declared their intention to
enter suit against the company and
their cases were placed in the hands
of lawyers on board.

the brokers advised him to sell. He
did not want to do so, and the brokers
gave him eight minutes in which to
put up $4,000 additional margin.
He replied that the margin asked
was not in his contract and added an
order to hold the cotton and threat
to hold the brokers personally respon-
sible If they disobeyed his command.
The brokers sold the cotton and in
formed Mr.. Thomas. He replied that
he would not recognize the transac.

HOWARD J. GOULD.
Will Straighten Out His Crooked
Dolngs and Secure Liberty.
NOT A BAD FELLOW.

Howard J. Gould, the young man of
eastern bearing, who caused sensa-
ton by his wealthy existence of a few
days by impersonating the son of J.
Gould, of New York, some weeks ago,
was seen riding around the streets
with Deputy Sheriff Newcomer this
morning. Mr.. Gould has proven him
self not bad fellow, and it was while
under prolonged influence of liquor
that he worked the game at which
many people bit. Gould claims that
after he registered his name at the
Alvarado as H. J. Gould, of New York,
someone started the rumor that he
was the son of j. Gould and he let it
go at that, which soon brought him to
grief. Gould possesses a good appear
ance, has good strong face and has
evidently been educated in cultured
surroundings. His assistance in fur
nishing descriptions of the prisoners
from the county Jail on New Years
day has not been overlooked and an
effort will be made to settle the matter
satisfactorily. This was the cause of
Gould's appearance on the streets to.
day He stated that he hadn't any
thing to say in regard to the matter
this morning but that they were trying
TO settle the unfortunate affair.
Both diamond rings obtained from
Arthur Everitt and one of the Elk
charms were returned this morning,
but where they have been all these
weeks still: remains a mystery. The au-
thorities are not disposed to reveal
any of the facts regarding the recovery
of the diamond rings and Elk charm.
Gould is not of the criminal class
and if the affair can be settled in a
manner that is satisfactory to all con-
cerned, it will be good turn for
Gould, and will harm no one.

house of Gross, Kelly G. Co. secured a
contract for furnishing provisions and

large force of men and animals will
consume between $4,000 and 100000
worth of provisions every month.
George Arnot. the popular manager

Arthur Cavanaugh, travelling salesman
for the same company, went to Belen
today to complete arrangements for a
warehouse TO be established at that
place. They will also arrange TO es-
tablish a number of small houses along
the line where work is being done.
The competition experienced by the
Gross, Kelly & Co. people with other
large provision houses bidding on the
contract TO furnish provisions and sup
plies for the builders of the cut on was
great. and it is quite a compliment to
Mr.. Arnot that he has secured il for
