SHORT HOLIDAY.
T. 3. Catron Understood to Object to
Giving the. Usual Two Weeks
Holiday.

1t has not been decided as to the
length of holiday that will be given
the pupils of the public schools this
Christmas.
In all probability the holidays will
begin on December 22d, and will last
for either one, or two weeks. 1t has
been customary to have two weeks
vacation at this season of the year
and a number of the teachers and
pupils have made plans for trips to
cover that length of time. Some of
the board, however, think that the two
weeks away from the studies is toe
long and will, therefore, at the nex
meeting make an effort to cut the holi
day in half In the meantime botf
teachers and pupils await their ac
tion with interest.
T. b. Catron, president of the board
it is understood is the principal OBJ
jector to giving the two weeks vaca
ton. 1t is understood that he thinks
that the city would be wasting too
much money on salaries. People in
general disagree with him.
The people of Santa Fe," said a
heavy tax payer to reporter OF the
New Mexican today, "are willing to
give two weeks vacation. The teach
ers are doing good work, are not paid
too much and will do better work af-
ter the holiday. | pay my taxes regu-
larly and on time and do not object to
the dollar or two that this vacation
will cost me.
From the records in the collectors
Office find that Mr.. Catron's tax as
sessments are rather low considering
the real value of the property he owns
in the county. l also find that he has
not paid his taxes for the years of
1905, 1904 and 1903 and for 1902 he
only paid $212.50 and still owes ST.
O47.O2 for that year.
"a man In that position should not
grudge the few dollars that the city
would pay to the teachers for this de-
served vacation.
81 have talked to number OF citi-
zens who DO pay their taxes and who
have children in school. They agree
with me that a two weeks vacation
should be granted"

E. F. HANNAH HURT.
Thrown and Dragged BY Horse Near
indian School Yesterday
Afternoon.

Il. r. Hannah, of Chicago, who un-
|til recently was employed as city edi-
tor on the New Mexican, was thrown
from his horse while riding near the
United States Indian School yester-
day afternoon, and severely injured.
His foot caught In the stirrup and he
was dragged for nearly 200 feet. A
hone in one ankle was broken and ne
received numerous painful bruises
where he was struck by the hoofs Of
the frightened horse. Mr.. Hannan's
condition is not considered dangerous
but he will be confined to his bed FOR
some time.
Mr.. Hannah with companion was
riding rapidly, when their horses, col
lided. To save his leg from being In
iured, Mr.. Hannah threw 1t across the
saddle horn. Just as he did so, his
horse stepped in hole and lunged
forward, throwing the rider from his
back The animal then started TO
run. Mr.. Hannah could not release
his foot from the stirrup, and was
dragged rapidly over the ground, the
horses hoofs striking him constantly
BY kicking frantically, he at last sue
|ceeded in releasing his foot, but not
before he was severely injured. HIS
companion assisted him to reach the
Indian School, and from there ne was

Anthracite Coal Men Meet and Over
Seven Hundred Delegates Are
Present.

Shamokin, Dec. 14-The anthracite
coal miners convention began It's ses-
sions here today. About seven hum
dred delegates were present when

Mine Workers of America, called the

This will be made in the form OF a

union, an eight hour work day, an In
crease in pay to all classes up to al
least ten per cent, and perhaps ~ pei
cent, based on the wages in efec

ROSWELL EXCURSION.
Plans Being Made BY Pecos Valley
Citizens to Come to the In
auguraton.

The New Mexican is reliably IN.
formed that the Governor-to-be, Her.
bert ]. Hagerman, does not desire any
great ceremonies or extensive exer'
cises on the occasion of his taking the
oath of office as Governor OF New
Mexico, January 22d, next.
Friends of Mr.. Hagerman here
were preparing for a grand OCCASION
but were privately informed that the
incoming Governor desired to have the
ceremonies conducted as quietly and
with as little ostentation as will be
compatible with the occasion, and
hence no arrangements, of an official
character by the officials, or by othel
citizens will be made. This is the
situation at present.
However, it is understood that Mr
Hagerman will visit this city before
| the first of the year, and at that time
his pleasure will be consulted ant
such arrangements as may suit hin
will be adopted.
In connection with the above tn
Roswell Record says:
Upon request of several citizens

ors on Board Ship Mutiny and
Civil Aid Called.

The government advices today from
the Baltic provinces, forwarded part
of the way from Riga by courier are of
the most alarming character. Bands
of thousands of Lettish peasants are
roaming the country in the vicinity OF
Riga putting torch to houses on all es-
tates and even threatening the town
of Riga itself. The districts of Riga
and Vendon are entirely in the hands
of the insurgents. The revolt is
spreading to all parts of the court and
outside. Communication with Riga is
cut off.
Little Progress.
The government is making little
headway in crushing the telegraphers
strike. The wires of few lines over
which the service has been temporar-
| lily restored are constantly cut and not
single wire was working out OF st
Petersburg this morning.
The news from the Baltic provinces
today Is to the effect that many Ger
man landlords who have not flown are
establishing a net work of small forts
and are standing regular siege
There has been much killing and burn
ling.
The inhabitants of the Baltic prov
linces now residing in St. Petersburg
were immensely gratified at the publ
cation yesterday of the imperial ukas
promising local self government
which they say means abandonment
lof the classification policy, which be
