SAID TO BE
SANTA FE GIRL
Woman Murdered Near Colorado
Springs Reported to Be Resi-.
dent Of This City.
THE DESCRIPTION FITS
Inquiry Develops the Fact That a
Sadie Durant Formerly Lived
Here.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Dec 21.-
The detectives and police are still as
far from a clue to the solution of the
murder mystery as ever but their ef
forts to apprehend the fiend who is
guilty are being redoubled.
The name of Sadie Durant, of Santa
Fe, New Mexico, has been introduced
as possible solution. While the po-
lice are investigating this clue, it is NOT
believed it is the right solution.
An additional fact has been added
to the description of the dead girl and
that is that she had an unusually heavy
head of hair. No less than so heavy
hair pins were taken from the coil of
hair that remained on the dead girls
head and picked up in the immediate
vicinity.
At a meeting of the county commits
sioners Of Ell Paso County this morn.
ing reward of $1,000 was offered for
the arrest and conviction of the MUIR
derer.
Sadie Durant Well Known Here.
The report that the dead girl is sup
posed to be Sadie Durant, resident
of Santa Fe, recalls to memory a
woman by that name who resided in
this city about two years ago. 1t was
alleged that she was divorced wom-
an and while here gave away her
children, two in number, to wealthy
resident of Sandoval County.
The description of the murdered
woman tallies with that of the Durant
woman, especially as to the dental
work and heavy head of hair.
The woman left here and went to
Deming, and later left there and went
to Trinidad, Colorado. This was the
last heard of her by people who knew
her while she was in Santa Fe.

ed. During this period about 10000

peka & Santa Fe Railway, the Ell Paso

cember, through line freight traffic

trail and the Rock Island and the ST.
Louis & San Francisco roads to St.

WATER USERS
ASSOCIATION
Enthusiastic Meeting at EI Paso-WiIl
Work for Construction of EIe-
phant Butte Reservoir.

A special from Ell Paso says that the
land owners of the Rio Grande Valley
met in that city on Monday and or
ganized Water Users Association to
cooperate with similar organization
which is to be formed at Las Cruces
tomorrow The association will aid in
the construction of the Elephant Butte
dam near Engle, New Mexico.
A committee of fifteen was appointed
to select permanent committee OF
three to consult with a like committee
from Las Cruces and form an inter
state committee to have charge of all
questions pertaining to an equitable
division of the waters of the reservoir
and matters of similar import. An
other meeting will be held in the Pass
City on the 29th of this month.
According to B. M. Hall, the cor
sulting engineer in charge of the con-
struction work, the reservoir will store
sufficient water to irrigate 10000
acres of land in New Mexico and 49,
600 acres in Texas and Mexico. New
Mexico is included in the reclamation
act, but Texas is not, and it is neces-
sary therefore, to organize two dis
tinct Water Users Associations.
which will operate under different con-
ditions. Texas and Mexico, by agree
ing to the construction of the Elephant
Butte dam and by yielding their rights
to the waters of the Rio Grande, will
be given a portion of the flood storage
from the reservoir, but neither can use
this nor participate in the benefits of
the irrigation act without special legis-
lation by Congress. The Texas Water
Users Association will at once pro-
ceed to secure such special legislation
and will also arrange with the Mexi-
can authorities for division of the
water. so that the Mexican side of the
valley near Ell Paso may receive it's
quota.

AMERICAN BUNCO
MEN in CUSTODY
Heavily Fined and Forced to Work on
the Streets In Juarez.-Fleeced
Many Tourists.

Ell Paso, Texas, Dec. 21.-American
bunco steerers have become so bad In
Juarez, Mexico, that the authorities
have been forced to act under pressure
of American sentiment, and today ten
American sharks were thrown into jail
and put to sweeping the streets under
heavy fines. They are estimated to
have robbed American tourists in the
last two months of $4,000 gold, and
c. w. Kindrick, United States consul
took the matter up with the state de-
partment at Washington before the
Mexican of{lcials acted.

LOCAL FORGER
In THE TOLLS
Charles Goldsmith Arrested at Anton.
ito-Offers to Make Good Amount
of Check.-ProbabIy Go Free.

Sheriff H. G. Kinsell went to Anton.
ito yesterday in response to tele.
gram from Sheriff Jose A. Garcia, of
Conejos County, Colorado, stating that
he had Charles Goldsmith in custody
at that place. Goldsmith evidently
does not desire to resume his resi-
dence in Santa Fe, as he offered to
settle for the check he presented to
James B. Reed, clerk of the First Ma
tional Bank, of this, city, if allowed to
go on his way Sheriff Kinsell tele-
graphed to this effect to Mr.. Reed last
night and the latter wired back that
settlement would be preferable to
him.
A week ago yesterday Goldsmith
passed a check at the First National
Bank, to which was attached the
forged signature of Walter Sharp, the
contractor for the new College Street
bridge. Mr.. Reed, who cashed the
check and consequently made good the
amount to the bank, which was nearly
$50. had the option of prosecuting
him or allowing him his liberty so de-
cided to let him go, if reimbursed for
the amount of the check.
There are a number of people in
the city whom Goldsmith got the bet
ter of, including several merchants,
but their chances for securing any.
thing are poor as in the future Gold
smith will give Santa Fe wide berth.

PRESIDENT TO
HONOR ARIZONIANS
Brodje Slated for Brigadier General in
Regular Army and McCIintock for
Covernor


A special from Washington says
that it is again persistently rumored
that President Roosevelt has several
political changes in store for Arizona
men. 1t is asserted that the president
will appoint Governor Alexander M.
Brodie as brigadier general of the
regular army and will name J. H. Nc
Clintock governor of the territory.
Colonel McClintock was twice wound
ed in the Rough Riders engagement
at San Juan He was last year presi-
dent of the Rough Riders Reunion AS
sociatiOn.
It is believed that while Governor
Brodie desires no political preferment,
he would not refuse promotion in the
regular army in which he served for
years after graduating from West
Point.

Porto Ricans Not Aliens.

Until recently, and since the an
nexation in 1893, Porto Ricans who
did not elect to remain Spanish
subjects were citizens of no coun-
try. They were merely "citizens
of Poto Rico'-a status which did
not carry American citizenship
with it. Our immigration author
tiles treated them as aliens; but
az they have no foreign citizenship
and owed allegiance to no foreign
sovereignty, they were practically
left without any citizenship at all
"a populous colony Of Philip
Nolans,
The United States Supreme
Court has decided that they are
not aliens, and cannot be treated
40 such. Its decision does not
directly confer American citizen
ship upon them, but it does so by
inference, and will 60 far toward
doing 90 in fact. If they cannot
Be treated as aliens, they are in
ehect treated as American citi-
zens.
This is all well as to the Porto
Ricans, who are attached to the
principles of the Constitution of
the United States and we'll dis
poetd to the good order and hap
piAess OF the same and who are,
moreover, so few in number that
their immigration can give us no
trouble. But what about the eff
feet of this decision on the status
of the Filipinoa, concerning whom
the 6ASe II .vetv different?
The diciSion makes legislation
on this head absolutely necessary.
The power Of Congress over our
depeaa encies and all that concerns
then has been, fully established.
Il SNoqld be exercised to define
the stak1s Of Colonial Citizens and
regulate their immigration. 1t is
not necessary that they should be
aliens In order that we may shut
ont Roupsrs, diseased persons and
oSh6 s.undesirables" among them.
Meantime, we can rejoice in the
fact that the docile Porto Ricans
have taken another step toward
real American Nationality.
