oUARLEs' AMENDMENT FOR RE.
STRICTlON KILLED.
HEPBURN ONAOULTERAII0N
Senator Declares a Large Percentage
of Foods, Drugs and Liquors Are
Impure and Says That Some Are
Positively Poisonous - Wisconsin
Member Loses His Fight.

Washington, April AFTER waiting
with much patience for many days, Sen
ator Hepburn yesterday found oppor-
tunity to speak to the senate on the
subject of pure food. Technically
the speech was in support of a resolu-
ton calling on the secretary of agrl
culture to send to the senate the re.
suits of investigations made by his de.
partment into adulteraIed foods, but
i'm reality it was in support of the pure
food bill. Senator Hepburn contended
that a very large proportion of food,
drugs and liquors were adulterated and
that many drugs were absolutely
poisonous.
ouarles' Amendment Killed.
The greater part of the remainder of
the day was devoted to the Quarles
amendment for the grading of salaries
OF rural free delivery carriers. Finally
fl was declared out Of order. The
committee amendment bearing on the
salaries of carriers and regulating their
service for private individuals was &C,
cepted. The poctofice appropriation
bill was still before the senate when it
adjourned.
During his discussion on the post
Office bill Senator Quarles contended
that salaries sufficient TO relieve the
rural carriers from the necessity or
carrying packages for merchants and
others should be provided, and said
that if the "Huckster" system was TO
be continued it was certain to eventuate
in serious scandal. He predicted that
the time would come when the carriers
would be mere agents for single firms.
Senators Money, Nelson and Lattimer

system on the ground that it was a
great convenience to the farmers.

the man who shot him. Roche says
FELTON, was justified in shooting. He
says, however, he does not know the
cause of the shooting.
After leaving the room FELTON, said
the police had the wrong man, that he
did not shoot Roche. He would not say
more when closely questioned. Eel
tons revolver was not found and it is
believed he passed it to a confed-
crate after the shooting. The police
believe that the trouble between Roche

Dennis Sullivan is the general super
intendent of the FL Paso & Northeast
ern Railway, with headquarters in Ala.
mogordO, and his efforts on behalf OF
the company and also of the city in
which he resides have made him an
appreciated railroad official and a val
ued citizen of the Territory and his
town.
He was born in California, Missouri

road career at the age of nine years as
a messenger for the Missouri Pacific at
Pleasant Hill, Missouri. He had but
little opportunity to get extensive
schooling, but managed to find time at
night for study. While still in his
teens, he became telegraph operator
for the same road and at the age of 21
years, he was promoted to train dis
patcher, which position he held until
1885. He has also held the positions
of chief dispatcher for the Denver &
Rio Grande System and the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas Railway.
In 1890, Mr.. Sullivan went to Deni-
son, Texas, where he was trainmaster
of the Choctaw Division of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas Railway, re-
there until 1899, when he was
promoted to the division superintend-
ency. He was superintendent until No

FINED FOR MUTT
LATING WARRANT
Vicente Armijo, BernaIiIIo County
Deputy Sheriff, Would Not Ac-

Vicente Armijo, deputy sheriff of
Bernalillo County, was fined $50 by
Judge Baker in the district court at AL

fine. The offense for which Armijo
was fined is an interesting one. A

but it was the condition of the warrant
when it was presented to Gutierrez.
The clause allowing the furnishing of
bond, which is printed on all warrants
except those for capital crimes, had
been removed by erasing.
Armijo told Gutierrez, when the lat
ter desired to furnish bond that the
clause had been scratched off by the
court. This proved to be untrue, as
the clause had been removed in the
sheriff's Office. Sheriff Thomas Hub
bell testified on the stand that he knew
nothing about the issuance of the war
rant and as a result the blame fell on
Armijo.
The arrest of Gutierrez was

the warrant was issued and served on
him, he Immediately offered to give
bond, but this was denied him as the
clause had been stricken of the war
rant. Armiio informed him that he
would have to go to court, thus forcing
him to leave the voting booth. The
plan worked successfully, as the op-
position carried the election.

INDIANS DEFEAT
HIGH SCHOOL
Large Crowd Witnessed Interesting

Afternoon.

Over 500 spectators saw the High
School foot ball team go down in de-
feat before the team of the United
States Indian Industrial School, for the
second time this season, on the High
School grounds, yesterday afternoon.
Like the previous game, only one
touchdown was scored, and the Indians
only got the ball over the line in the
last half after desperate struggle.
Both teams were very evenly match
ed, with the advantage of weight and
team play with the Indians. There
was nothing sensational about the
game. inebucking being used almost
exclusively by both elevens and punt
ing being employed on the third down.
With two exceptions, the ball was kept
in the center of the field throughout
the entire game. In the first half the
Indians advanced the ball to their op-
ponents' five-yard line and lost it on
tumble, the High School full-back
punting back to the center of the field.
In the last half the Indians rushed
the ball to the ten yard lines lost on
downs and regained the ball and after
hard struggle, they pushed Captain
Moyha over the line, after fifteen min
utes' play The High School boys, af-
ter the kickoff, got the ball to the five
yard line of the Indians and lost it on
downs, time being called with the In
dians in possession of the ball on their
