TALK ABOUT
A GOVERNOR

From Denver comes the story that
State Senator Casimiro Barela of Trim
idad, Colorado, will be appointed gov
ernor of New Mexico on the 10th of
next month, that the Senator is a
compromise candidate to succeed Gov
ernor Otero and that the latter is sup
porting Mr.. Barela for the appoint
ment. The story as far as can be as
certained here is fabricated out of
moonshine and hot air. Indeed Sena-
tor Barela few days ago addressed
Governor Otero letter in which he
stated that if the latter was candi-
date for reappointment or would ac-
cept if the office were rendered to him,
that he, Barela, was not and would not
be candidate for the position.
There is no strife In this Territory
over a successor to Governor Otero as
the latter's commission has year to
run yet and as the matter will not
come up for consideration in Washing
ton for months to come. There is no
one bothering about Governor Otero's
successor at present and that bridge
will be crossed when it is reached.
Even the Governor himself has not yet
considered it, although he certainly is
not an active candidate for appoint
ment at this time

WILL WAGE WAR
ON BEEF TRUST

Washington, Jan. Silt can be said
by authority that unless the corpora
tions constituting the alleged beef
trust shall heed the injunction made
permanent yesterday by the decision
of the Supreme Court of the United
States the government will institute
proceedings against the individual
members of the corporations to enforce
the decision of the court. The pro.
ceedings will be under criminal law, if
such can be instituted. The minds of
the President and the members of the
cabinet are made up fully on this ques-
ton. They are determined that the
beef trust" shall obey the law and
now that the highest court in the land
has upheld the hands Of the admins
tration, 1t is said that they will permit
no further "dilly dallying" with the
subject.

MAYOR GIBSON'S
GRAVE CONDITION

1t will be with sincere regret that
of the unfortunate temporary aberra-
tion of Mayor A. R. Gibson few days
since while visiting at Ell Paso. Mrs.
Gibson has gone to that city for her
husband and will return to Santa Fe
accompanied by Mr.. Gibson tomorrow.
Worry and overwork are probably at
the heart OF the affair The first init
nation any OF his family or friends
received OF the distressing occurrence
was through letter from Ell Paso
Elks to A. ]. Fischer, secretary of the
local lodge. 1t is well known fact
that the Ell Paso Elks are most Jealous
in the entertainment of visiting broth
ers. They have earned the reputation
of having one of the greatest lodges in
the United States. 1t is natural there.
fore that when one of their number
met Mr.. Gibson on Ell Paso Street the
cordial Hello, Bill" salute should
have been fired straight at him. TO
their grief and surprise of the Ell
Pasoans they found Mr.. Gibson suffer-
ing from temporary loss of memory.
He was unable to recall his name or
any circumstances connected with his
own life. Brother Elks took him in
charge and soon found sufficient identi
fication papers on his person to locate
him as the mayor of Santa Fe. They
wrote Mr.. Fischer and Mrs. Gibson at
once started for her unfortunate hus.
bands side. Last night she tele.
graphed Mr.. GibsOn's brother, H. E.
Gibson that she and Mr.. Gibson would
arrive in Santa Fe tomorrow. Her
message contained nothing of comfort
Mr. Gibson's condition, but
friends hope that it will prove only a
temporary illness.
Mr.. Gibson came to Santa Fe about
six years ago and has been prominent
in local business circles since his ar
rival. Three years ago he suffered a
severe spell of typhoid fever which |
must have been serious shock to his |
system. He was president of the Con- |
solidated Copper Company the failure
Of which he took greatly to heart He
became mayor of Santa Fe last April,

KANSAS=COLORADO
SUIT HEARING

In the matter of the Kansas Colora
do Arkansas River water right suit
testimony was heard today in the Su-
preme Court chamber at the capitol by
Commissioner G. A. Richardson of the
United States Supreme Court. The
United States was represented by A.
c. Campbell, Of Washington, D. c., as
sistant attorney general. The state of
Colorado by Judge C. D. Hayt, of Den
yer, and G. G. Dawson, of Canon City,
and the state of Kansas by s. s. Ash

Mills of Colfax County; w. S. Hope.
well, general manager of the Albuquer-
que Eastern Railway; r. E. Twitchell,
of Las Vegas; T. B. Catron, of this city
and Solomon Luna of Los Lunas.
The testimony introduced by these
witnesses went to show the Importance
OF irrigation in the arid regions and
how land values in New Mexico would
be enhanced by the construction of ir-
rigation systems and storage reser-
voirs under the reclamation act. The
great benefit to agriculture and horti-
culture due to irrigation was testified
to by the witnesses and it was proven
that from 100000 to 100000 of
acres Of land could be irrigated in
New Mexico by the proper storage and
use of the waters from the streams in
the Territory.
The hearing continued this afternoon
and will probably be concluded tomor-
row.

| Special to the New Mexican.
Washington, D. c., Jan. Sit ha
been pretty we'll agreed between tn
opponents and the supporters of tn
Hamilton joint statehood bill to com
mence voting on the amendments tt
that measure Tuesday next. Th'
amendment by Senator Foraker, whicl
makes Oklahoma and the Indian Ter
ritory one state, and New Mexico ont
state, eliminating Arizona from thu
bill seems to meet with much favol
and it looks as if it would become the
compromise measure and will pass
The amendment gives New Mexico
statehood within present territorial
limits and two representatives in the
lower House of Congress. The sum Of
$5,O00,O0O is appropriated for public
schools and the land donations are sim
liar to those in the original Hamilton
bill. Friends OF the Foraker amend
ment are working hard and quite a
number of the Senators who would
have voted for the original Hamilton
bill, are shifting in favor of the amend
ment. If this process goes on, the sue
cess of the amendment and the defeat
the original measure are not only
possible but very probably.
DeIegate-EIect Andrews Receives
Similar News.
Delegate-elect Andrews received a
dispatch this morning from promi-
nent U. S. Senator in Washington to
the effect that the possibilities for the
passage of the Foraker amendment,
creating Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory as one state and New Mexi-
co as one state, leaving Arizona out of
the statehood bill, were increasing
right along and the chances for the
success of the Foraker amendment
were improving steadily. To report
er of the New Mexican, Delegate-elect
Andrews stated that that was exactly
what he had been working for during
his recent visit in Washington and
before that time. He had put in much
work and time on that line and was
gratified to see that this was produc-
tive of good. He believed that the
news given in his and the New Mexi-
cans dispatches were correct and he
kept the wires busy this afternoon
with dispatches to Washington urging
his friends in the Senate and Senators
to support and work for the
adoption of the Foraker amendment as
this would suit the people of New
Mexico in every particular and was ex-
actly what they wanted. The Senator
will leave no stone unturned and will
not overlook a point in his endeavors
10 have the Foraker amendment
passed. If energy, well directed and
constant work and strong appeals to
ais frieds in the Senate can bring 1t
about, the Foraker amendment will
pass and New Mexico will be a state

Loss Of Heikoutai.. Impossible to
Construct New Works.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 31-Dispatches
from Manchuria do not indicate any
developments of importance since
General Grippenbergs order to aban-
don the advance. The Japanese yes
terday made a demonstration in the
eastern districts, but apparently it was
not serious. Operations on the Rus
sian right will probably not occasion
further heavy fighting at the present
time, unless the Japanese determine to
follow up their counter offensive move
ment, which is not likely in view of
the intense cold which renders the
movements of large bodies on either
side almost impossible. One result of
the bitter cold is the greatly increased
mortality among the wounded.
Blow to Russia.
Toxic, JAM Silt is believed that
the loss of Heikoutai weakens the Rus
sian position and will probably COM
pei material change in the Russian
front at that vicinity Heikoutai will
be strongly defended by the Japanese,
who are now occupying the Russian,
works. AS the ground is frozen, it is
practically impossible to construct
new works.
Losses Are Heavy.

from Schiatun dated January 20 states
that the Russian losses from January
25 to 29. were 10000, but. that the per

NEW YORK, Nov. 26-Over on the
west side lives Mollie, a dachshund,
that veterinarians say is slowly but
surely turning to stone. Already pet
riflcation has settled in her legs and is
gradually creeping upward. Veterina-
rians say that it is the only case OF
its kind known to science
Mollie is IL years old. For nearly
ten years she was a great ratter and
the pride of the household, but now
those days are over, and she lies in her
little rocking chair waiting for the end.
''I first noticed the trouble in Moliie
last spring." said her owner. "She was
running around the yard and appeared
to be stiff in one of her hind legs.
"I thought she had touch OF rheu-
matism or maybe old age was over
taking her, for she was 10 years old
at the time. I applied some simple
household liniment on the affected leg,
rubbing 1t well. But it did not seem
to relieve her.
"The lameness got worse, and 1 took
her to a veterinarian. He examined
her and said that he thought she
was suffering from rheumatism, but
would not say positively until the con-
dition was more developed. | left her
in the hospital for treatment.
About two weeks later 1 received IL
message from the doctor saying that
Mollie was petrifying, was turning to
stone, and nothing could be done. 1
have kept her since.
"At first she used to cry but she
doesn't any more, although at night
sometimes, when she thinks no one will
hear her. she will moan piteously. She
is a brave little creature, but l fear
she realizes that there is no hope for
her"
The veterinarian who is treating her
said:
"The animal was brought to me in
March of this year for examination. 1t
appeared to be suffering from rheuma-
tism, though no symptoms other than
stiffness were apparent. l hesitated to
make a diagnosis until certain.

skylight, an automobile and decoy
cab Mr.. and Mrs. w. P. S. Earle, sub
sequent to their wedding reception, held
in the bridegroom's home at 145 West
Seventy-fourth street yesterday after
noon eluded hundreds of friends with
armfuls of old shoes, bags of rice and
similar characteristic torments for the
newly married.
In the Church of the Divine Pater-

Blois of Brooklyn and w. p. S. Earle,
son Of the late Gen. Ferdinand p.

ceremony a large reception was held
N the home of the bridegroom.
Warned that all sorts of tricks were
to be played upon them by their friends,
G.. r. M. Ewing, the best man, was
taken into their confidence. Toward
the close of the reception a cab drove
up to the house. apparently for the
bridal couple. Around the corner was
stationed an automobile.
While their friends were making the
cab look like a Christmas tree Mr.. ana
Mrs. Earle ran upstairs, climbed
through the skylight, ran over roofs of
adjoining houses, descended into tine
home of a friend who had been in
formed of the ruse, and made off in the
