In the course of Kean's remarks. Mr..
Patterson, of Colorado, interrupted to
read from speech made by the presi.
dent at Las Vegas, New Mexico, upon
the occasion of the Rough Riders re.

ored the admission of New Mexico as
a state and would go to Washington
and work for such bill.
Mr.. Kean declared this did not put
him on record as favoring the omni-

Mr.. Patterson thought the president
being then a distinguished republican
leader. having enthusiastically pledged
himself in favor of New MeXico's ad-
mission, his opposition to the omnibus
bill should vanish.

THE NATIONAL HOUSE.
Speaker Henderson on Deck-A Bad
Precedent Established.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Speaker Hen
derson, who has recovered from his
recent indisposition, presided over the
deliberations of the house today.
After the reading of the journal, Mr..
Richardson, of Tennessee, took excep-
ton to the presentation of the confer
ence report on the department of COM
merce bill at yesterdays memorial
session. He contended that the action
of yesterday was void
The speaker ruled that it was regu-
lar. He said in his ruling that it had
been repeatedly held that Sunday
could be made legislative day. There
had as fact been no legislation at
yesterdays session. By unanimous
consent the house simply permitted
the filing of the conference report un-
Ger the rule. The house when in ses-
sion at any time, he stated, was omni-
potent, except for the limitations of
the constitutions.
Mr.. Richardson protested against
the ruling as a dangerous precedent
and moved to correct the journal so as
to strike out the action of yesterday.
Eleven republicans voted with the
democrats for this motion, but it was
defeated on a rising vote of 80 to SO.
Mr.. Richardson demanded the ayes
and nays, and the roll was called.

VENEZUELAN MATTERS.
The German Protocol Has to Be Re-
turned to Berlin.

Washington, Feb. 9.-As the Vene-
zuelan issue stands today the British
protocol is so drawn that Mr.. Bowen
may accent it in principle; but the
German draft is unacceptable and the
differences between the negotiators as
to this protocol are more marked than
in the case of any other. One state
ment made mot by Mr.. Bowen) was
that while the Germans, with the 9TH
er allies, in principle, accept the ref
ence to The Hague, the question of al
lowing preferential claims, yet their
protocol is so drawn as to practically
require such preferential treatment in
advance of the submission Of the case
to that tribunal.
Mr.. Bowen feels that the German
protocol would not be acceptable to
the Venezuelan government, and he
has therefore refused to sign it in it's
present form, which necessitates the
reference of the document back to
Berlin and an extension of the nego-
tiations.

Washington. Feb. 9.-When the
statehood bill was taken up, Mr.. Kean
of New Jersey, continued his remarks
in opposition to the measure.
Mr.. Rawlins, answering some refer.
ences of Mr.. Kean to the Mormons
said that in Salt Lake City the non.
Mormons are glad to aid in electing
Mormons to important political offices
because of their desire to give to the
municipality good government. Ger
tain elements, in the church, he said,
by reason of long habit, were dispos-
ed to yield to the distates of promin-
ent individuals in the church.
at is not to be denied that their in
fiuence is very considerable" said he.
''but there is still a large element
among the Mormons who resent the
idea of such interference"
Mr.. Kean said people of the United
States are opposed to polygamy and
mean in every way to stamp it out
Answering Mr.. Nelson, Mr.. Kean
said Mormons who fed from Idaho to
Mexico would undoubtedly return to
the United States and mix in the poll
tics of Arizona and attempt to usurp
the public authority of that state
should it be admitted.
r. Mr.. Hale interrupted to remark that
every time this phase of subject is
reached it presents some new informa-
tion and before anything further is
done he thought somebody should sub
nit amendments in order to have an
expression of the feeling of the senate
on this subject and bring it determin.

New York. Feb. 9.-The heirs of Mrs
Charles Fair, who, with her husband
was killed in an automobile accident
in France in August last, have com.
menced an action here to set aside an
agreement which they entered into
with Mrs. Theresa Oelrichs and Mrs
Virginia Vanderbilt, sisters of Charles
Fair, not to start a contest over the
estate By the agreement Mrs. Nelson
was to receive $125,000 and her
daughters jewelry, valued at 100000
II was claimed at the time that under
the California laws Mr.. Fair outlived
his wife and therefore his relatives
were entitled to the estate. estimated
at $4,000 900.
Mrs. Fairs relatives now say they
are prepared to prove that she lived
thirty minutes longer than her hus-
band, and as he had executed a will
leaving the entire estate to her they
are entitled to the whole of it.

JOSE TELLES CAPTURED.
A. B. BdCd Takes the Noted Prisoner
to Santa Fe.
CAUGHT IN GRANT COUNTY.

Jose Telles, the escaped convict
who, with Albert Hampe, another con
vict, participated in the murder of Jail
or Epitacio Gallegos and the Santa FL
Jail delivery on Sunday evening. Jan
uary IS, is again in the tolls of the
law.
He was captured last Thursday af
ternoon in Grant county on the Min
bres river, while resting a couple Of
days at the house OF relative.
The trailing and capture was a clev
er piece of work and done by A. B
Baca, of San Marcial assisted by some
Cow boys.
Mr.. Baca passed through the city
this morning with his prisoner en-
route to Santa Fe. He was seen by a
representative of The Citizen and told
of his apprehension of Telles and what
led up to his capture.
Mr.. Baca was one of the employees
of the house of representatives who
was let out few days after the repre-.
Sentatiyes went into session. He had
returned to his home at San Marcial,
when he learned that Telles. one OF
the murderers escaped from the Santa
Fe Jail, and who was being searched
for by officers. had passed Albuquer.
que going south.
Before the capture of Telles, Mr..
Paca had a reputation of being a taker
of bad men.
He communicated with the officers
at Santa Fe and secured a very poor
description of Telles and also an offer
of a reward for his capture. The de-
scription telegraphed Baca was not in
keeping with that of Telles. The only
one point where the description tailed
was that Telles wore a white hat.
Baca struck what he thought was
the right trail Just this side of La Joya,
in the Rio Grande valley, and, al
though several days behind the man
he wanted, he had very little trouble
in keeping trail of him. 1t was so very
plain that at times Mr. Baca was en-.
abled to cut across country and inter
cept it at another point farther on,
thus saving considerable time The
only occasion where the trail was lost
for a single moment was when Telles
got ride of about fifty miles, from
near San Marcial toward Deming. The
man he rode with is said TO have been

ANOTHER BIG BLAZE.
WeII-Fi|Ied Warehouse Of Gross, Kelly
& Co. Destroyed,
HEAVY LOSS TO FIRM.

| An uncomfortable blaze consumed
the big warehouse of Gross, Nelly &
Co., which was formerly the main
Office, and all the contents, consisting
of a valuable assortment of supplies,
at an early hour last night
The alarm was sounded about 7:15,
just at the hour when the streets were
filed with people and in few minutes
hundreds of spectators were on the
scene. Besides the whistling of the
mocking bird, two locomotives and the
shop whistle took up the call The
city fire department was soon on
the ground and connected up two lines
of hose but the fire had reached a stage
where it was impossible for the de-
partment to eXtinguish the ravaging
flames. The Santa Fe shops depart
ment rendered their services and soon
had a stream playing on the fire, and
the Alyarado hose was also used,
making four streams in all But the
only good pressure was from the big
hose at the north end of the building.
The streams from the other hose were
not strong enough to break a window.
The inflammable contents and the dry
timbers of the building furnished a
kind of food for the flames that the
four streams of water made little i'm
preston on.
The fire appears to have originated
in the upper part of the building at the
southern end. Officer Harry Cooper.
who was one of the first TO see the
smoke curling out of the roof, made
a careful investigation and there was
no evidence of fire around the bottom
at all, which would not substantlate
