THOSE FIFTY.oNE INDICTMENTS.
BY the BernaliIIo Grand Jury-Rather
Fishy Story Told Concerning
Them.

From Albuquerque comes a rather
interesting story concerning the at
tempted withdrawal by the recent Ber-
nalillo County grand jury of fffty-one
indictments which had been found by
that body against several saloon men
for the selling of liquor to minors. 1t
is claimed that these indictments were
voted upon by the grand jury whole.
sale, instead of singly, one by one. 1t
Is reported that an attorney for the
liquor dealers caught on and hence
the grand jury's desire to withdraw
the indictments, in order, SO say some
of the knowing ones, to find true bills
in the proper shape. Therefore the
grand jury apeared in court and asked
that the indictments in question be re.
turned to the body. Upon the court
declining to accede to this request, the
grand jury reconsidered the matter
and found mo true bills" 1t is now
stated that this point will be used and
that a dismissal would be asked for by
the defense on that account. How the
attorney for the liquor dealers caught
on is not stated There is also no aft
davit filed in confederation of this
rather fish story. At any rate, some
member or members of the grand jury
must have "leaked."

Topeka, April 17.-Reports received

that the bulk of the work for the sys-

only one man between Topeka and AL

King, of Deming, died at a hotel II
this city on Saturday afternoon. His
head and face was badly bruised ant
there Is suspicion Of foul play. Three
men have been arrested in connection
with the death. Joe Martin and Frank
Kinney were the first men to come in
to the clutches of the police, as they
were the last men to be seen with
King. They both claim that King was
the aggressor and that his death was
not caused by the blow given him
as result of his interference with
some men who were at work for the
international Light and Power Com
pany They claim that when King
fell, after being struck by Burwell B.
Rogers, that his head struck a rock
and that this was what caused the
hemorrhage of the brain which caused
death. The last man to be arrested is
Burwell B. Rogers, a lineman In the
employ of the International Light and
Power Company of Ell Paso. He tells
practically the same story that the
other two men tell except that he
gives his reasons for striking King. He
says that the dead man, at the time
Of the trouble, was drunk. That he
insisted upon getting upon the seat of
the wagon which Rogers and com.
panion were using in repairing some
parts of the trolley wire, and interfer-
ing in their work. After having pulled
King off the wagon several times,
Rogers says that King threatened to
whip him. He thereupon struck King
with his fist and knocked him down,
and in falling he claims that the mans
head hit a rock. Rogers holds good
reputation in Ell Paso and is we'll
known. King was member of the
Odd Fellows lodge Of Deming and has
relatives in Clever, Missouri. He has
always been known as quiet, honest,
hard working man and held position

WORK ON SCENIC HIGHWAY.
Twenty Convicts Sent to the Macho
Mesa Yesterday.-Detaehment Of
rs at Work on Las Vegas End.

Yesterday Assistant Superintendent
R. G. Garrett of the territorial peni.
tentiary, sent a detachment Of twenty
convicts, fully equipped and rationed
to the Macho Mesa about fourteen
miles east of this city to commence
work for this season on the Scenic
Highway. Engineer John Gwinn and
two guards are in charge of the de-
tachment. The camp site was reached
early yesterday afternoon and every
thing was made snug and comfortable
for lodgings and meals. This morn
ing, bright and early, work was re-
commenced on the Highway. A de-
tachment Of 25 men has been at work
on the Las Vegas end In the Gallinas
Canon and work there Is also going
on. The entire number of convicts so
far employed on the construction
work is forty-five and this will be in.
creased shortly. The prisoners like
this out door work and are anxious to
be detailed on it. During the past
year the men who were at work on the
Scenic Highway were we'll behaved
and quiet. There were but three es'
capes and the three convicts who were
concerned were recaptured within
three months after having taken
French leave. There are three guards
with the detachment Of twenty-five
convicts at work on the Las Vegas end.
The rations the men get are plentiful
and wholesome and, as everything
moved satisfactorily during the year
1904, Superintendent Bursum expects
that this will be the case during the
present year.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Ice foes COM
pletely filled New York harbor today,
rendering the passage of vessels into
and out of the port slow and difficult
In the Narrows the ice pack was so
dense that even the powerful trans
atlantic liners had trouble in forcing
passage. One of the serious results
of the presence of vast foes in the
lower bay during the past four days
has been the breaking and carrying
away of vast numbers of spar and can
buoys in the various ship channels
Captains of coastwise steamers and
Sandy Hook pilots have reported a
| number of narrow escapes from
grounding caused by the displacement
of buoys. Capt. Shepard of the light
house board said that the displace-
ment of .buoys by ice during the week
was unprecedented in the history of
the department, and that the condi-
tions of navigation into and out of the
port are the most dangerous that have
ever existed.
All the steamers of the Sound fleet
arrived safely today, although several
hours late. Their captains reported
that heavy ice was encountered
throughout the Sound and that naviga-
tion was barely possible. On several
occasions the fleet of New Yorl-b bound
steamers was compelled to unite and
attack the ice in wedge formation.
Owing to change in the wind the
North and East rivers were compare
lively clear of ice during the day, and
the ferries were operated with little
interruption.

PASADENA, Feb. 5.-A startling
condition of affairs has been revealed
in North Pasadena, where many of the
patrons of the North Pasadena Water
company are using the muddy water
from the reservoir near the Mountain
View cemetery.
Fridays storm caused considerable
damage in the east section of the cem-

through the property, carrying quanti-
ties of mud and water into the crema-

the corner where the paupers' graves
are located.
But the flood went farther and forced
it's way into the reservoir through a
big hole in the wooden cover over the
top. the force of the sand and water
being sufficient to crush the boards.
On the admission of one of the off,

Mortimer Durand, the British ambas-

The president and the two diplomats

When he was leaving the White

his business with the president related
to proposals for bringing the Russo

"No peace proposal and nothing that
can tell you," was the indefinite re-

The greatest Significance in connec-

arises from the fact that it came coin

.BR|7ON's SPEECH
CREATES FURORE
LORD OF ADMIRALTY R0USES
GERMAN WRATH IS.
English Foreign Minister Urged to
Repudiate Utteranees Before
Kaiser Makes Formal
Complaint

LONDON, Feb. 5.-The speech OF
Arthur Hamilton Lee, civil lord of the
admiralty at Eastleigh, Hampshire, on
February 2 has created such storm in
Germany that the government organs
here this morning are busily endeavor-
ing to editorialize away its effect.
Mr.. Lee himself in a communication
to the Standard makes a similar effort
by declaring that he was incorrectly
reported, and giving what he calls
correct version, which is so different
from the original report as to do in
finite credit to the ingenuity Of Eng
lish newspaper reporters.
According to the Standards Berlin
dispatches, unless Foreign Minister
Lansdowne promptly repudiates re-
sponsibility for Mr.. Lees alleged ut
terances the government will make a
formal complaint.
Mr.. Lee is quoted as having said in
a speech on February 2 that in the
distribution of Great Britain's naval
forces England has had not so much to
keep her eye on France and the Med
iterranean, but ito look with anxiety
toward the North sea; that the fleets
had been SO distributed as to enable
them to deal with any danger in that
direction should it occur.
Under existing conditions, he said
the British navy would get its blow in
first, and he maintained that "by the
recent naval reforms Great Britain's
strength as a naval fighting power had
been practically doubled during the
past few weeks"
