EVIDENCE FAILED TO
WARRANT" INDICTMENT
Grand Jury investigates Story
of BarbaTity at Zia
Indian Pueblo
1T IS A VERY ANCIENT STORY

The ancient story of the snake wor-
ship among the Indians, which vas
practiced among the Aztecs and still
exists among the Hopi Indians has
been revived and the story now
comes from the Zia pueblo, one of the
lesser of the New Mexican pueblos
situated some distance above the Je-
mez country. that a snake of enorm-
Gus size is kept there by the Indians
and is worshipped by them as their
chief diety.
The story came out through a wit
ness who is said to be a priest resid-
ing in the locality of the Zia pueblo,
who, it Is alleged, appeared before
the recent session of the United
grand jury and testified to what Is al
legged to be the present custom among
these Indians. that of feeding yearly
to this snake infant children in order
to please the supposed spirit that is
believed to dwell in the snake.
This Is not the first time this story
has come out, and although ii sounds
very revolving there has not been en-
ough evidence ever given that would
warrant an Indictment being return
ed. That is said to have been the
case with the present complaint, as
no indictment was returned.
If the story could be proven, the
offense would be murder in the first
degree. It is thought, however, that
the story has been grossly %exaggerat-
ed as regards the Zia Indians partici-
pating in the barbarous practice.

TRIUMvERATE IN LAW

The address of Judge A. a. Freeman, published else
where in this issue, is a masterpiece of a master work
man. The Citizen does not remember TO have seen so
able and interesting a discussion of the relations existing
between the bar and the bench, and the relation Of both
TO the people. It is logical, lucid, learned, but at the
same time exceedingly interesting TO the laity. The con.
clusion that the judiciary should be elected by the people
is unanswerable. The Citizen advises its readers by no
means to neglect reading the address in full.
This paper regrets that Judge Freeman did not touch
with his cogent and trenchant pen the too common prac
tce by attorneys Of browbeating and attempting to con.
fuse a witness of whose veracity they cannot entertain
any doubt. If the individual lawyer and the individual
judge should, as the judge clearly shows, treat each 9th.
er with the highest degree of courtesy and consideration
because bar and bench alike represent the people, then
should the witness be treated with the same courtsy and
consideration because he is one of the people. often sacri
ticing his time and inclinations to aid the cause of JUS
tce.
However, this is merely The Citizens view, as Judge
Freeman did not touch upon it.

The interview in yesterdays Citizen with r.. E. Ealy
the well known promoter of well irrigation at Deming,
is worthy to be read by every Albuquerquean, because it
makes so plainly evident that irrigation from wells is the
best kind of irrigation possible, where water can be
reached at comparatively shallow depths, and that cleo
tricity is the cheapest power when made by cheap fuel
at some central station and distributed therefrom-
cheapest alike in cost of power and in cost of equipment
to the individual user. The interest in this statement to
an Albuquerquean, apart from the interest all feel in the
general development of the territory. is that both condi
tions find ideal realization in the Albuquerque valley
since the valley has abundant water close TO the surface
while the city of Albuquerque has a ]bOundless capacity
for producing the cheapest of electrical power.

LEOUOR AND DRUGSTbRE@.

Under the new ruling given by John w. lerkes, com
missioner of internal revenue, going into effect December
!, all compounds going under the name OF medicine, jhaI
are composed chiefly of distilled spirits. without the al
dition of drugs or medicines in sufficient quantities TO
change the character of the whiskey or alcohol mater
tally or giving to it decided medicinal properties, are to
be considered as distilled spirits ANA treated accordingly.
The manufacturers of such compounds will be compelled
20 pay the regular special tax for compromising spirits
and all druggists and other dealers selling such medi-
cines will be recuryd to obtain special licenses Tor the
sale OF liqu Js.
Tre reasrr ruling C. {; mEissionei lerkeS. wnicl
reverses a former ruling of the internal revenue depart
ment. has caused great CONSERVATION in certain quarters.
II has been ascertained that enormous quantities. OF GER
tain compounds. advertised as patent medicines for GER
tain diseases. have been consumed in the prohibition dis
tricts of various states and on Indian reservations, where
the prohibition laws are strictly enforced. 1t is charged
that these strongly alcoholic preparations are RESPONSE
BILE for the terrific increase of drunkenness in those DIS
tricts. Under the new regulation it will be Impossible
to obtain these preparations from dealers, as the sale Of
spirituous liquors is not permitted.
But there is another question to be asked in New
Mexico. and that is: Will this ruling prevent the highly
moral, who would scorn to enter a saloon, from getting
sticks" in their lemonade or soda, at drug stores or
other places which vend soft drinks?" And will it pre-
vent the thirsty of any class. who know the ropes, from
entering drug stores on Sunday, in those places where
saloons are closed, proceeding to the back room, helping
themselves to the ardent" as many times as they please,
and on retiring leaving the proper funds on the shelf or
depositing amounts in a box on the counter, in the drug
store proper? Or will it close these annexes, which are
run during weeks days for the accommodation Of Gus
toners who cannot afford to be seen entering a saloon?
Perhaps time will show.

JESUS PRAYED FOR UNITY

About the middle Of November there will be in New
York City one of the most important religious gatherings
that ever met in this part of the world. The meeting will
be known officially as the InterChurch Conference on
Federation, and will hold its first conference in Carnegie
hall on November 10.
1t will be the first conference in the religious history
of the United States to which delegates have been named
officially by the various Protestant denominations. Prev
ious joint conferences on missions and other topics have
been unofficial in character.
This conference will, in no sense, mean an attempt
to bring the various religious bodies of the country into
organic union. All that the leaders hope is that the CON
ference may create a permanent organization of the
churches, which will bring them into better and closer re-
lations than ever before existed. 1t is hoped that an or,
ganization will be formed that will voice the attitude OF
the united Protestant churches on all great questions of
a religious, social, ethical and economic character.
The general committee in charge of the arrange
ments for the conference expects that there will be from
500 to 600 delegates, representing twenty-four religious
denominations with an aggregate membership of over 49,,
100000. At the conference will be heard the leading men
in nearly every Protestant religious body in the country.
Among them will be five bishops of the Episcopal church.
six bishops of the Methodist church, three of the Metho-
dist church south; two Moravian bishops and one each
from the United Brethren, Reformed Episcopal and Al
rican Methodist churches.
1t viii be remembered that Christ prayed for his
church that they might be one as he and his father are
even by the bloody efforts of the Inquisition.

The Way Of the lightning.

According to Prof. w. :. Frank.
lin, the most important things to
he considered in placing and ad
justing a lightning-rod are a good
ground connection and a direct
path to the ground. This matter
of directness of path is so vitality
necessary that in comparison with
it the insulation of the rod from
the building, either by air spaces
or glass supports, is of small i'm
portance. In fact, Prof. Franklin
holds that IF the path is direct
there is no need Of insulation. and
if the path is roundabout, effective
insulation is not practically feas-
ible.'-Youth's Companion.

In the box-head column of this page is an interesting
article on the extent to which the Japanese gather food
from the sea, as compared with the same industry in the
United States. Probably the smallness of the country
and the nearness of every part to the sea as contrasted
with the vast plains and mountains in this country,
stretching from ocean to ocean and necessitating long
railway hauls of ocean products, has much to do with the
difference in consumption of marine products, as set
forth in the article referred to. Our governments. ma
tional and state, should redouble their efforts and efic,
iency in stocking the streams Of the country with edible
fish.

The volume of business done by the
