ALBUQUERQUE, n. Nj, Sept Is.
AT a meeting Of the board Of regent
of the university held last night, Car
S. Hertzog. Of Los Angeles was elect
ed director Of the school Of music
and Theodore Il Krebs also Of Los
Angeles was elected teacher Of voice
poth men are prominent In musical
life on the coast and both come high.
W recommended, having been gradual
ed from the first music schools Of Ger
many and France, with long eyper-
fence in teaching in this country. The
new teachers will leave Los Angeles
for Albuquerque Wednesday and will
be ready to begin work by the first of
next week. The regents have been
fortunate in finding so readily men to
take the places Of the director who So
suddenly left the university last
month. The school already has a
large enrolment and with the new
men ii is expected that this will be
doubled at once the new men are es-
tablished.
Jose Montoya, who came TO Albu
queraue from Ell Paso was caught ear
w yesterday morning in the act Of
setting fire to the warehouse of @. "
Strong & Sons, on North Second
street. Strong & Sons are furniture
dealers and carried a large stock Of
furniture in the warehouse. The in
cendiary had a nice blaze started and
was standing composedly by watching
1t gain headway when an employee Of
the store was aroused and caught him.
Montoya made some slight resistance
but was o~verpowered and landed In
Jail. This afternoon he was bound
over to the grand jury In the sum OF
$500 bond and went to jas- de-
fault. He denies any connect With
the frequent fires that have occurred
during the week, but it is felt that he
is responsible for them all. He has
been seer neal the Santa Fe yards a
great deal and has been under suspi-
cion. There is a feeling Of relief that
the man has been arrested for the
city was in something of a state of
unrest. There is little doubt that
the man is mentally unbalanced.
The striking teamsters at a meet
ing held last night declared a boy
colt against a number Of the leading
merchants Of Albuquerque because
they have allowed Trimble company
and the McSpadden Springer company
to do their hauling. 1t is on these
two firms that the strike was declared
ten days ago, and the teamsters are
now taking violent measures to win
out. BY their last radical action they
have lost the sympathy Of most Of the
better element In Albuquerque n
many Of the members OF the central
labor union declare themselves as
against the boycott. The end Is not
yet in sight. Printers VINO ire employ
ed on the afternoon Citizen are try
ing to make trouble for that paper on
the ground that It has its supply Of
paper stored in Trimble's warehouse.
They threaten to strike in spite Of a
wage scale contract which is consid-
cred binding. The cooler heads In the
unions are trying to restrain the
but thus far they have met
with poor success.
p. F. McCanna Of the territorial fair
association left last night for Pueblo
he goes on fair business. He
will bring back with him the entries
Of q number Of Colorado racing men.
