President Charles r. keyes Of School
Of Mines at Socorro Refutes Pro.
fessor Gordon's Charges.

Professor G. r. Keyes, president of
the New Mexico School of Mines, at
Socorro, was business visitor in
Santa Fe yesterday. He stopped while
here at the Palace Hotel. Professor
Keyes spoke enthusiastically of Socor.
70 and the development being made In
that town and the country surrounding
1t. He also spoke in terms of praise,
OF the School Of Mines, and the work
it Is doing. He deeply resented the
criticisms of C. H. Gordon, formerly
a teacher in the Socorro school, re.
garding the management, as printed
in an Albuquerque paper about week
ago. Regarding Professor Gordon IS
remarks, he said:
There is no truth in the statements
that the school Is not being conducted
properly with this proviso The Ter.
rltory does not give enough money to
the School of Mines to make 1t posi-
BILE to carry on work as extensively as
in other places. Our annual appro-
priation amounts to only $4,000,
whereas the School of Mines in Colo
RADIO has between $125,00O and $780,
900 yearly. Our enrolment, however,
will amount to between so and rs pu-
pills this year. They are all, college
men as we have practically abolished
our preparatory department.
Professor Gordon's statement that
we have not access to the mines neces.
sary, to such a school is without foun-
dation, as our pupils have been spend
ing their Thanksgiving vacation in
visiting mines and will probably spend
the Christmas week in the we'll known
Bisbee copper field.
Regarding the assertion that our
catalogue is "a hot air proposition l
can only say that the teachers in each
prepare statement of
their work, their pupils work, ETC.,
and it does not seem reasonable that
every one of them would purposely
dstort the facts.
81 believe that the school is doing all
in it's power with the limited funds and
facilities now provided, do not think
1t advisable, as Professor Gordon sug-
gested that this school be made
department of the New Mexico Uni
versity because it is tinct scien-
tific proposition and can best be con-
Quoted as such. l know that person
ally, each teacher is striving to do his
best and that is all that any one could
do"
Professor Keyes left last night, for
his home.

OLIVAS DIVORCE SUIT.
Interesting Case Finally Closed BY
Judge McFie-An Absolute Decree
Granted.

Judge John r. McFie has made
known his decision in the case Of
Juan Olivas VS.. Mrs. Juanita M. de
Olivas, suit for divorce tried recent
ly in the district court for Santa Fe
County. He granted an absolute d.
vorce. The First National Bank of
Santa Fe was also involved to the ex-
tent that money was deposited with
this institution in the name of Mrs.
Oliyas, which belonged however, to
both parties.
The Judge had previously issued a
temporary injunction, restraining Mrs.
Olivas from drawing this money until
the settlement of the divorce case. In
his written decision, Judge McFie
enumerated that the plaintiff and de-
fendant were married October %,
1882, in Santa Fe, and lived as man
and wife until September 10, 1905.
To this marriage two children were
born, Manuelita Olivas being the only
one living. During their married life
the Olivas' accumulated property to
the amount of several thousand dol
lars.
Upon their separation they divided
this property by mutual consent, each
taking chattels to the value of $4,000.
There were, however, $615.22 on depos-
1T in the First National Bank regard
ing which the court made the follow.
ing ruling:
That Arthur Seligman, who acted as
receiver, be paid $100 for his services,
and that the attorneys in the case re-
ceive $50 for assistance to the receiy
er. That S. be paid to Seferino Baca
who also aided the receiver. This sum
amounting to $155, the court ordered,
was to be taken from the $615.22 on
deposit in the bank. The remaining
sum, $46O.22, to be divided equally be-
tween the two parties interested.
Judge McFie also ordered that upon
the completion of this settlement, the
receiver be discharged and the injunc-
ton restraining the woman from draw
ing the money from the bank be dis
lsolved. Another feature entering into
the settlement was the support of the
daughter. Judge McFie did not give
her into the care of either parent but
as she expressed desire to remain
with the mother he ordered that Juan
Olivas pay her $40 each month for her
support and S. a month extra II she de-
cided to go to school until such time
as her education was complete.
It was also brought out in the hear
/ ing that the girl was not in good
health and would require surgical
operation costing $35 before her con.
dtion could be improved. The court
ordered that the father pay this sum
but that the mother pay medical bills
for ordinary illness.
The attorneys for the defendant in
this case were N. B. Laughlin and II.
| l.. Ortiz. For the plaintiff Catron and
lGOrtncr. and A. B. Renehan.

this afternoon for the murder of her
husband, Marcus Rogers, at Benning
ton, August Is, 1902.
Mrs. Rogers was pronounced dead

had been twice reprieved on account
of the appeals made in her case by her
counsel and after the United States
Supreme Court had refused to take any
action in the case. Only compare
lively few persons witnessed the hang.
ing, the number being restricted to
those permitted to attend by the laws
|of Vermont.
Showed Little Emotion.
Mrs. Rogers maintained her COM
posure to the last and mounted tho
galloNs with steady steps. Although
a deadly pallor oyerspread her coun-
tenance, hardly muscle qGivered as
Deputy Sheriff Spafford pronounced
the fatal words, Il now proceed to ex-
ecute the sentence Of the law and n II
God have mercy on your soul"
When the words were spoken Dep
ty Sheriff McAuley sprung the trap
and the drop fell. Her neck was
broken by the fall.
Early Arrangements.
Early today a telephone message
from White River Junction to the state
prison, sent by Attorney Charles A.
Mccarthy, representing Mrs. Mary M.
Rogers, to the effect that Governor
Bell had declined to grant reprieve.
indicated that the last possibility of
an interference with the execution OF
the woman, set for the afternoon, had
vanished.
The lawyers information was veri
fled few moments later by an off,
cial telephone call from Governor
Bell to Sheriff L. Peck. The final ar.
rangements for the carrying out OF
the death sentence were then made.
First Woman Hanged.
Mrs. Rogers is the first woman that
ever paid the death penalty In the
state of Vermont and every effort was
made to save her. A large number OF
prominent men and women exerted ev-
cry effort in her behalf to prevent
what they considered a disgrace 70
the state. The Governor refused to
stay the sentence, however, as he felt
that crime should be punished regard
less of sex.

Since the decision rendered in the

There seems to be quite an ooJec.

It is probable that petition WIZ pe
made to the city council to change
tho name of the postofice altogether

Municipalities have no power to take
over tho property Of public service cor.
porations, even when an option on such
property is provided in the corporations
charter, according to q decision render
ed in indianapolis Ivy Judge Francis Il.
Baker of the United States Circuit Court.
The franchise granted the Consumers
Gas Trust Company, formed in 1887 to
bring natural gas to indianapolis for
fuel purposes, contained a stipulation,
which the company accepted, giving the
city the right after ten years to take
over the property at an appraised value.
Ihc Consumers company has ceased TO
do business and the city gave notice
that 1t would enforce its option. Suit
was brought by a stakeholder. alleging
that the corporation exceeded Its powers
when Il accepted the ordinance contain
ing the provision regarding the option.
Judge Baker slistains this contention ana
renders a lon: opinion. in which he
quotes literally from United States de-
cisions. The opinion is based OH the
ground that the Consumers Gas Trust
Company had no statutory authority to
