MUNICIPAL sQuaBBLE A7 RaT0N
Mayor Orin Will Not Submit to His
Removal Ordered BY the City
Council.

Troubles over the mayOralty of Ra-
ton are still rife and Mayor j. c. Orin
who was removed by action of the city
council is preparing to take the matter
into the courts. Mr.. Orin accompan-
led by his attorney A. c. Voorhees,
was in Las Vegas this week consulting
with Attorney A. A. Jones, regarding
the unusual procedure of the Ration
city council Mr.. Orin's attorneys say
that the city council has no right to
remove from Office municipal officer
elected by the people. They say that
Mr.. Orin has been guilty of no malfeas-
ance in Office. The trouble arose over
small account in favor of Attorney \
Leahy which had been presented to
the mayor for his approval. He de-
clined to take any action on it at the
time, intending to investigate before
sanctioning the expenditure. The coun-
Gil thereupon removed the mayor from
office and it is said that the council
will take the same action as regards
the city treasurer unless he pays the
warrant in question when presented.

Baltimore, Md, June 1.-THE last
obstacle to the completion Of the Cum
berland extension Of Gould's Western
Maryland Railroad. the Wabash ex-
tension to tidewater, by means of
which connection will be made with
the West Virginia Central Railroad,
was removed today when the state
court of appeals sustained the report
of the Western Maryland Company to
construct bridges and condemn right
of way across the property of the Ches.
apeake and Ohio Canal Company. The
suit to prevent the Western Maryland
Company from crossing its property is
part of the general fight made by the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad against the
completion of the Cumberland eXten-
sion. The Western Maryland's work
has been the cause of numerous law
suits, of which it has won nearly all.

IN TROUBLE
He is Sent to the Penitentary for Five
Years for illegally Branding
Cattle.

The Arizona cattle sanitary board is
after the COW thieves. There has been
a good deal of illegal branding done in
Pinal County, and the officers have
been pretty we'll satisfied as to who
was doing the work, but have had
hard time getting the necessary proof.
Recently the board got some strong
proof in three cases against W. T.
Armstrong. an ex-sheriff of Gila Coun-
ty. Armstrong was arrested. In the
first case he put up a defense which
cast strong doubt as to his guilt, as
regards that particular cow The next
case was stronger, and the jury found
him guilty, and the court sentenced
him to five years in the penitentiary.
The third case will not be tried until
he gets out of the penitentiary.

JnEETING OF B0aRD OF TRaDE
Business Men Protest Against Reduc-
tion in Train Service Between
This City and Lamy.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
| Santa Fe Board of Trade was held yes
terday evening at its rooms in the
Sena block.
The meeting was called to order by
President Prince, the minutes were
read by Secretary w. n. Townsend
and the report of the treasurer handed
in. After routine business was trans
acted, the proposed change in time
and reduction in train service between
Santa Fe and Lamy was taken up.
President Prince spoke upon the sub
ject insisting that no reduction in
train service be made and that
speedy connection with No. from the
east be regularly.
This reduction if consummated
would also make it necessary
for people who wished to take
a flying trip from here to Albuquer-
que and back and vice versa, to
stay two nights and day in Albuquer-
que or Santa Fe and this would result
in numbers OF people staying away
from this city A committee composed
of Ex-Governor l.. B. Prince, l. Sparks
and S. Spitz was appointed to confer
with the railway authorities and to
present to the company clearly that
the proposed reduction and change
would prove of great detriment and
harm to every business interest of this
city.
The matter Of the construction of
the Presbyterian Mission School for
boys which is soon to be built in Santa
Fe was then taken up and commit
tee was appointed to confer with Miss
Leadingham who represents the |
board of home missions |
and consult with her about furnishing |
L site for the school and do all in the |
power of the Board of Trade to help |
he project This latter committee
will call upon the managers of the
Santa Fe Central Railway in regard to
the so acre tract which the
BOARD gave that corporation some
ime ago, other land to be given the
'oad in exchange. This so acre tract
will probably be offered to the Pres
)yterian board of home missions for

I'VE can construct four ships or even
more in as short a time as we could
one. In a rough estimate. 1 would say
that in forty days time the vessels
would be ready for shipment. What
takes the time in constructing the yes

from that the work can be rushed
through.
LAS an engine Of defense in time OF

such tremendous power that the mere
contemplation of its destructive force
will make wars between nations i'm
possible. Two great powers equipped
with 100 airships each would never dare

mean nothing less than complete an
Inhalation. The advent OF the airship
means universal peace. But fortunate

HEAVY INCREASE
IN GREAT BRITAIN'S
NAVAL ESTIMATES

LONDON, Feb. 24.-The British naval
estimate for 19O4-O5 totals s1s4,445. 900, a
net increase of 81, ,36O. 900 over the esti-
mate for 10000.
More than half the increase in the
estimates is due to the determination
to pay the entire balance due on the
recently purchased Chilean battleships
on April 1 and to provide them with
ammunition for the next year. The re-
mainder of the increase arises from ex1
pansion of the fleet, increase in pay Of
the personnel and material.
The estimates provide for a total of
s5S, ,27O, $50 for new construction, of
which s3,21O,415 will be devoted to the
commencement of new ships. The Ad-
miralty will devote s9,O5O 900 to the pur-
chase of armor during the coming year
and says it has no difficulty now in Sc
curing an adequate supply of the quail
ity desired.
Satisfactory progress has been made
in the experiments with oil fuel and
three old gunboats have been converted
into tank ships for the storing of oil
in home ports. Extensive provision is
being made to supply oil afioat.
The construction of two battleships,
four armored cruisers, ten submarine
vessels and fourteen torpedo-boat de-
stroyers will be begun during the pres
ent year.
In submitting the estimates Earl
Selborne, First Lord of the Admiral
~ cold tho Admiralty was aware that
the estimates were large, but Parlia-
ment must remember how great was
the responsibility cast upon the Board
of Admiralty in providing the country
with a navy strong enough to sustain
struggle with the navies of any two
powers and to insure reasonable secur-
ity for the country's vast seaborne
trade and the food supply of the people.

TALK IS NOW
OF ARBITRATION
America and France Are Dis
cussing a Treaty for the Set

OBSTACLES ARE PRESENTED
France Deferred by Eastern
War and Roosevelt Is Uncer-
tain About Senate's Action

PARIS. Feb. 24-It was confirmed
in official circles in Paris to-day that
negotiations were actually in progress
between the United States and France
for an arbitration treaty. The French
Parliamentary group favoring inter
national arbitration is said, however,
not to be over-sanguine in the belief
that treaty will shortly be signed.
1t is pointed out here that the Russo
japanese war and the possibility of
complica tions growing out of that con-
fiict rather tend to cause hesitation on
the part of the negotlators of the arbi-
trstion treaty instead of fastening its
signature Moreover, concern is ex-
pressed in this city over the effect in
the United States of the decision of
The Hague arbitration tribunal upon
the question of preferential treatment
by the .blockading powers in the case
of Venezuela.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-The State
Department confirms the report that
the President has been considering the
possibility of arranging treaty with
France providing for the peaceful set
tiement of any disputes between the
two countries by resort to arbitration
1t is further stated that similar propo-
sitions have been made to this Govern
ment by the diplomatic representatives
of Great Britain. Italy and Holland
All of these have likewise been taker
under careful consideration by the
President. Although earnestly favor
ing the principle of arbitration, Presi-
dent Roosevelt is indisposed to submit
an arbitration treaty to the Senate un.
| til he is assured of its approval
