An Excellent Teacher.

Miss Lucille Duckworth at 301 N.
Kentucky avenue, is the only con-
servatory graduate in Roswell, the
only teacher who plays what she
teaches, and the only teacher who
teaches the genuine artistic touches
in piano playing, such as:
LISTS secret of his wonderful pas
sage playing;
Rubenstein's legato oo&avo stroke;
Leschetizky's position for rapid
fortissimo playing-"the hardest
thing in piano forte technique"
DePachmann's liquid trill touch;
Mason's velocity secret;
The stroke for the singing touch,
the wheel touch. and the portamento
stroke;
Heavy chord and whole arm
touches.
When Miss Duckworth's pupils
leave her for any celebrated teacher
or conservatory, they will not have
to spend a discouraging year or two
re-learning first principles.

Sheriff Fred Higgins returned yes
terday after a trip to Santa Fe
where he delivered four prisoners at
the p~enitentiary which were senten-
ced at the last term of court in this
county. The most notable prisoner
was Kinch Mullins who received SO
a for the murder of Tony Stat
faucher. Mullins was chained to
Arch Mitchell who received n year
for saddle stealing. The sheriff did
not have any trouble with the pris-
oners.
Mullins withdrew his plea of not
guilty to the charge Of murder In
the first degree and and put in a
plea Of guilty of murder in the sec
ond degree, with the understanding
that he would receive the most Sc
we're sentence the law could infict.
Consequently he did not have a trial,
and the statement of the prisoner
never came out in court. Sheriff Hig-
gins did not talk to the prisoner
while here about the crime. Shortly
before they reached Santa Fe Sher-
if Higgins said, Nov, Kinch, tell
me just why you killed Tony" and
Mullens replied, 81 did not know
/ had shot Tony until they told me
about it after / was in jail. l knew
l had shot somebody, but I did not
know it was Tony, as he was my
best friend. Whiskey was the
of it and | would not have killed
him for anything, but the deed has
been done. Whiskey is not any ex-
cuse and | would not have asked for
clemency and made a plea OF MUIR
der in the second degree but for the
sake of my mother and sisters. I
would rather have been hanged than
to receive the sentence. / will have
to serve until death"

For Heavens sake. take that little
ad. of mine out of the paper. l have
had just fourteen hundred applica-

All of which goes to prove that

the way to reach everybody is to put

WAVES HIS MAGIC WAND.
Sam Parks Brings Harmony to Iron
Workers Convention.

workers Convention.
Kansas City, Mo-. Oct. Samuel
Parks, walking delegate from New
York, waved his magic wand over the
delegates to the annual convention of
the International Association of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers
Wednesday and brought peace and
harmony out of conditions that seemed
to portend only strife that might mean
a disruption of the organization. Be
fore the convention convened, Presi-
dent Ruchanan's followers intimated
strongly that they would withdraw If
money were voted to local No. 2 Of
New York.
After Parks had addressed the dele
gates, thev voted $1,000 as a loan from
the organization, practically nc oppo-
sition to the appropriation was dis
PLAYED.
Mr.. Parks evidently had reconsider
ed his plan to ask the convention to
vote an assessment of 81 aecinst each
OF the SO, 900 members throughout the
country and he ridiculed the state
ment that he would finally ask that
each member Of the association give
a days salary. which would aggregate
close to $500. 900.
Another victory for Parks was the
action OF the convention in voting al
most unanimously to affiliate with the
American Federation of Labor.

EVACUATION OF MANcHURiA.

Picking.
Picking. OA. Attention is CON
centrated on Oct. 8, the date fixed by
Russia for her evacuation of Mukden
and Newchwang. Russia's action in
fulfilling OF ignoring her agreement to
evacuate will be the chief factor, 1t is
said, in determining her relations with
Japan.
Prince Ching, president Of the for
eign board, assures the foreign minis
ters that he is continuing to resist the
Russian proposals. Prince Ching told
M. Lessar, the Russian minister, that
Russia should carry out her agree
lment first, and then the other conces-
sions she requires in Manchuria
would be discussed.
The Chinese papers assert that M.
Lessar is pressing for Russian control
of the customs and mining rights in
Manchuria, in addition to, the propos-
ais embodied in the latest Russian
evacuation scheme.
Uchida Yasuya, Japanese minister,
is opposing the Russian demands. Sir
E. M. Satow, British minister, and
United States Minister Conger have
limited their representations to
friendly advice. Uchida is negotfRt-
ing for the inclusion OF the opening
of Mukden, Tatungkao and Antungsfh

A WISCONSIN CENTRAL TRAIN
STRIKES CROWDED STREET
CAR IN CHICAGO.
INJURED NUMBER A SCORE
STREET CAR CUT IN TWO AND
THE PASSENGERS THROWN
HIGH IN THE AIR.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-Five persons were
killed and q score of others were in
jured last night in a collision between
a Wisconsin Central limited pessen-
ger train, which left Chicago at s
O'Clock, and a Forty-third avenue
street q at Fifty-second venue The
street car was crowded with passen-
gers from the Harlem race rack ant
nearly every man in the car was In
tured. The motorman had received
the signal to cross and had just
reached the center Of the tracks when
the passenger crashed into the car.
None Of the passengers had time to
escape.
The dead are: F. ROBBERS, William
Griffin, Joseph Butler, J. Williams,
jockey, and James Gallagher.
The severely injured are: Frank
Gray, Louis Struby, J.. M. Corrigan,
George Merkaley, Charles Cross, John
Kilroy, Dennis Enright n John
Luney. 7
All Of the injured, with the excep-
ton Of Kilroy and Enright, are en-
ployed at the race track.
In addition to those named, there
were q number of others less serious
~ injured. q,
The cause for the accident Is
charged by Motorman Kilroy to the
wet rails. He say the danger IN time
to avoid it and applied the brakes,
but the car slid along the track with
locked wheels. The passenger train,
which was running at high speed,
struck the street car nea the center,
cutting 1t squarely In two. It was re.
duced to splinters in an instant and
the force Of the collision was such that
several Of the injured were hurled
high in the air and two of the killed
met their deaths by striking the
ground after being thrown up from
the wreck.
The railroad people c%ontended that
no blame for the accident car apply
to them for the reason that the dan
ger signals were properly set and
there was no reason why their train
should not proceed as usual. They
say that the train was not running
faster than is customary.

THE FISCAL PROBLEM
Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN DISCUSSES
HIS POLICY AND KRRAleNs
FREE TRADE.

London, Oct. 1.-Mr. Chamberlain
contributes to the Daily Telegraph a
letter intended to serve as a preface
to the republication in book form of a
series of articles which has appeared
in the Daily Telegraph on the fiscal
problem. The letter, however, is
specifically "a complete exposition of
his proposed policy.
snAfter disclaiming the credit as
Acribed to him in some quarters for the
authorship of the articles in the Daily 1
Telegraph, which, he says, constitutes
81 conclusive indictment of the pres
ent one-sided system of free imports,
Mr.. Chamberlain proceeds:
sit is not we'll with British trade. /
After a long period of success the
pplicy Of unrestricted free imports has
not shown evident signs Of failure.
: Our exports rare stationary In amount
and declining in character. We re-
ceive from our competitors a larger
proportion of manufactured goods
and we send them a larger proportion
of raw materials than we used to.
Our supremacy In what have always
been considered u standard indus
tries has been wrested from us, or is
seriously menaced. One by one our
markets, once profitable and expand
ing, are closed to us by hostile tariffs.
eve have lost all power Of bargain
ing successfully for the removal OF
these barriers to our trade. Our colo
nies alone continue to increase their
purchases and yer have we must
abandon all hope of expansion and
we are unable to meet their requests
for reciprocal preference"
Replies to Arguments.
Mr.. Chamberlain then the
arguments of his opponents, and
sums of his policy, which is in brief,
as follows:
Low duty to ecure preferential
trade with the colonies, without bring
ing additional cost to the laboring
classes on food; revision of tariff to
jects and best customers; also power
of bargaining with competitors.
He contends that increased trade
with the colonies will provide more
employment for British labor and
thus cause advance In wages and al
low the manufacturer to pay it with
out loss. This he contends will be a
great advance toward the union Of the
empire and the first step toward freer
trade with the rest of the world.
The cogent exposition Of his policy
which Mr.. Chamberlain has. contribut-
ed to the Daily Telegraph Is likely to
prove far more interesting from the
public viewpoint than Mr.. Balfour's
speech tonight.
The air is full of mysterious rum
ors that Mr.. Balfour and the Duke
Of Devonshire will resign; that the
king objects to the appointment of
Arnold Forster as val. minister and
that Lord Miner has been summoned
to Ba!moral. and other suggestions.
