ARRESTED A SECOND TIME.
Charles Bitterman Obtains Money Un-
der False Pretenses of His Friends
in Albuquerque.

Charles Bitterman, mention Of whose
arrest at Albuquerque was made in
the New Mexican this week, Is hav-
ing more trouble After his first ar
rest he gave up his three band gypsy
diamond ring, his watch, and such
funds as he then had about him, as
security for bis appearance in court
and returned to his room. His attach
ment for this particular ring was such
that it caused his second arrest upon
the charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses. Several of Bitter
mans friends in Albuquerque believed
that the charges which caused his first
arrest were false and imm ediately
took steps to help him. A stockbroker
of that town was one of those who
thought that Bitterman was falsely ac-
cused and agreed that If Bitterman
would give him his diamond that
he would advance the $3.50 asked
for by the Denver dealers. This Bitter
man agreed to do and Mr. Levy handed
over the money and was assured that
just as soon as the ring was returned
by the officers, Bitterman would hand
it over. Thursday morning Bitterman
failed to appear with the ring, and in.
vestigation proved that the ring had
been turned over to him. When Mr..
Levy asked for the ring, Bitterman's
attachment for it prevented his com.
-. II. f1Nnv
swore out warrant for Bitterman's
arrest upon the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses. Justice
Craig informed Bitterman that he
could again put up the ring as securi-
ty, but he fatty refused to do so,
whereupon he was remanded to the
county jail Finally, however, he was
persuaded to leave his valuables and
was allowed to return to his quarters.

the southeast in great curve until it
reaches a point almost due north of
Roswell. Then for thirty or forty miles
it goes almost straight south, striking

Boiler Explosion Tears Deck Of
GunbOat Bennington From
Stem to Stern.
MACHINERY A TANGLED MASS
1t Win Be Necessary to DinmAntlO the
United States warship to Deter
mine Extent Of Injuries.

San Diego, July 21.-Twenty-
eight dead bodies are lying at
morgues, on piers and on the
the United States Navy. Scores
of men are lying grievously or
painfully injured in sanitariums
and hospitals and fifteen sailors
are missing and probably have
found death in the waters of the
harbor, as result of an explo-
siou of a boiler on board the
United States gunboat Benning-
ton at 10 10 o'clock this morning.
On board the Bennington were
presented terrible scenes. The
force of the explosion had torn a
great hole in the starboard side
of the ship and the vessel was
already commencing to list. A
section of the upper deck was
carried away from stem to,stern.
The blood and wreckage were
distributed over the entire ship.
Over it all hung a great cloud
of white smoke.
The boiler which exploded, it
is said, was regarded as unsafe.
Commander Young stated that
during recent return from
Honolulu the steam pressure
was kept reduced in that parti-
cular one.
When the explosion occurred
the engineer was inspecting the
boilers as preliminary to the
vessels leaving port. He was
not seriously injured.
Officers and men who were
able to assist in resue work acted
in a brave and collected manner.
The ships inner works are
a tangled mass of machinery,
and she probably will have to be
dismantled in order to examine
her injuries.
Latest accounts put the total
list of dead at 40.
The government will make
rigid investigation.

SOME REASONS Why
The Plain Truth Of the Matter
Plainly Put.


Santa Fe New Mexican:
AlamogordO is betwixt hope and
fear that the Ell PasO and South
western Railway Company will
change its intention Of removing
its shops from the Cottonwood
City to El Paso. Railroad CON-
panies are not in the habit Of
taking newspaper advice as far
as the management of their me-
chanical departments are con-
cerned and yet, the New Mex
ican can not refrain from point
ing out several good reasons for
keeping the shops where they
are at present. AlamogOrdo has
better water than El PasO, which
is an important factor. Alamo
gordo does not get quite as hot
as the Pass City and shopmen
know that climate has to do with
the efficiency and energy Of the
employees. The shops at Alamo
gOrdO represent a large outlay Of
money which it seems folly to
duplicate needlessly. Every
bit Of trade the company creates
and maintains at AlamOgOrdO it
controls absolutely; at III PasO
it must divide it with six other
railroad companies. Texas Is
very unfriendly to railroad cor
pOratiOns, while New Mexico is
very friendly as far as legisla-
ti0n is concerned. The assess
ment rate is higher and there's
fore. taxation is much higher in
N PasO than in AlamOgOrd0,
juries at EI PasO, whenever Oc-
casion offers, mulct railroad
companies heavily in damages.
Labor troubles are more likely
to arise and will be made DIM
cult to control in q large city
than in : small town. al rail-
road company is not 50 c0nsti-
tuted as to feel sorry over mis-
takes but the III Pas0 and South
western will come Is near re-
| gretting any effort to build up
El Paso ct the expense Of Ala
nOgordo as . corporation ever
gets to regretting any Of its own
acts.

The recent heavy rains had caused
every ditch and gnIch to be filed
with water and It was feared the
boy had fallen into deep hole and
drowned. The night was vxrx
stormy and heavy rains fsIl, which
made the search very difficult, a.
well as to add horror to the thought
of the lost child. Wednesday,. islsl

LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Hon. 7. B. OatrOn Causes An
Opinion and Defsats the Act.

n0n' Il d. Uatf0n yaueo8 An
Opinion and Defeats the Act.
Judge McFie has declared the
Martin relief law unconstitutiOn-
al. The Thirty-sixth legislative
assembly, during its last session,
passed q bill which became
known as the Martin relief law.
This bill proposed to issue bonds
to the amount of $50, 600 for the
relief Of persons whose property
had been destroyed OF injured by
flood. The law was denounced
as a demagOgic measure and the
principal established was de-
clared to be dangerous, Further
more the measure was said to be
special legislation more for priv
ate than for the public good. T.
b. OatrOn, of Santa Fe, as q tax
payer and citizen Of the territory,
applied to the first district court
for injunction preventing the
territorial auditor and the terri
tOrial treasurer from taking any
steps to carry out the law. The
question was argued before Judge
McFie, who took the matter
under advisement. The opinion
in the case was fled Saturday.
Following is a summary:
First-The act Of February 4,
1905, known as the Flood Suffer-
ers relief law, passed by the last
legislature and which increases
the territorial debt to the ex-
tent of fifty thousand dollars, is
void because it is in violation of
the third section Of the act Of
congress known as the Springer
act"
Standardization, authorized
by the act of February 4; 1905,
upon all the taxable property of
the territory to purchase seed
grain and supplies for farmers
temporarily embarrassed in thir-
teen counties only, is unauthOr-
lied and void, the same being
for q private and not for a public
purpose.
Third-The act of February 4,
1905, is special and local legisla-
tiOn, because of the arbitrary
limitation of it's operation to q
single year and to only thirteen
out of twenty-five counties of the
territory, and is therefore pro-
hibited by the first section of
the Springer act"
