eleventh ANNUAL RECITAL
Pupils of Miss aoodykoontz Pre-
sented an Exceptionally Fine
Program Thursday.

The Congregational church Thurs
day evening contained a large crowd
OF music-loying people 10 hear the
recital given by the pupils OF Grace
Gocaykoontz, this being the eleventh
year that the concerts have been
held. The writer has attended every
one OF the number given and we have
been impressed with the growing ex-.
%cellency Of the work Of young stud
ents who are passing through the
hands OF Miss Goody koontz, and each
year has seen a fine improvement in
those who have remained through
the course. In those years the in
structor has given to the public some
excellent vocalists and they bear the
impress of her fine method Of teach
ing.
The program arranged for this occa-
sion was one Of great merit and some
very fine voices were heard. Each
numter on the program is worthy
OF special praise and Communications
and in several instances the enthu-
siasm of the audience was carried to
"a high degree. The writer would be
glad to mention individually the
WORK Of the singers, for it was pre-
sented so thoroughly as to deserve it,
but time today forbids. The accom-
paniments OF the evening were played
by Grace Goodykoontz and Fannie
Mccormick, Florence Winsor assisting
on the two choruses. The numbers
by Miss Eugeni Parmenter, OF Scott
land, and Mrs. Inez Herbert and Mr..
Fred Kratz were not given, owing to
the absence Of the two latter from

JAPAN NOW In
FIGHTING TRIM
Unless Movements Are Made for
Peace Japanese Forces Will
Follow Advantage.

Toxic, Jan. 3.-Some of the diplo
mats here believe that there will be
an early renewal of efforts looking to
the securing Of peace. Outwardly the
Japanese government gives no indica-
tion of it's desires in that direction,
but it is known that it is prepared to
discuss the question and to make terms
which are characterized as reasonable
The United States, Great Britain and
France are named as possible direct
Intermediates. 1t is not impossible
that Japan will broach the subject di-
rectly. The fall of Port Arthur i'm
mensely strengthens the hand of ia
pan. In the actual conduct of the war
Port Arthur has been a stumbling
block to Japan which for six months
has been engaged there with over 100,-
900 troops and practically her entire
navy. Now the entire navy is free to
prepare to meet the Russian second
Pacific squadron and to attend to the
Vladivostock squadron. A heavy force
of troops will be Immediately avail
able for service in Manchuria and this
possibly will allow the undertaking of
other independent enterprises.

WAR MAY LAST
TWO YEARS YET
Squadron Sent to Relieve Port Arthur
Will Await Large Reinforce
rnents.

Paris, Jan. 3.-According to semi
official advices received by the foreign
office regarding the terms for the capt.
ulation of Port Arthur signed last
night, the Russian officers, but not the
rank and file will be permitted to re-
turn to Russia This is not positive.
Russian officials strongly incline to
the view that the war will go on with
out reference to Port Arthur. A Rus
sian naval attache says that the mis-
sion of the Russian second Pacific
squadron was to save Port Arthur
Therefore since this mission cannot be
accomplished the squadron will prob
ably wait until it can be reinforced by
the third and possibly by the fourth
squadron. He believes that Russia will
retake Port Arthur by assaults by land
and sea. This will require time for
adequate naval and military concen-
tration, thus prolonging the war one
1r two years.

In the ball room of the Palace Hote
last evening occurred pleasant social
event. It was a dance under the aus.
pices of Company F, First Regiment ot
Infantry, New Mexico National Guard
More than 100 persons were in attend.
ance, the majority participating in the
terpischorean diversion and many be-
ing onlookers.
At $3.50 o'clock Morrison's orchestra
sounded the music of the first number
and the hall presented pretty spec
tacle with it's goodly number of NOV
ing guests. The program consisted of
twenty regular dances and four ex.
tras. The affair was altogether en-.
joyable and was greater success than
the one given by the company at
THANKSGIVING time. 1t was the final one
of the season for the military organi-
zation and will long be remembered
by those who were present.
Those who had special charge of
the dance were Captain E. C. Abbott,
First Lieutenant A. J. Fisher, Second
Lieutenant s. c. McCrimmon, Ser.
geants Boyle and McHughes. The
three first named also officiateG as re-
ception committee and took pains to
look after the enjoyment of the as.
semblage. During the latter part Of
the evening prize two-step was an.
nounced and the winners were Miss
Hample and Oswell Digneo. Mrs. ].
Bernard Wood and Carl Bishop were
second best. It was not until the wee
small hours of the morning that the
merry company dispersed.

ACTUAL WORK
is UNDER WAY
Grade and Track Construction on Al.
buquerque Eastern Has Com.
menced,

Delegate-elect w. n. Andrews, presi
dent of the Santa Fe Central Railway
and General Manager w. s. Hopewell
of the Albuquerque Eastern, left last
evening for Albuquerque, where they
remained today attending to railroad
business. A grading camp of the Albu.
querque Eastern has been established
near the Duke City and is in charge
of Chief Engineer J. R. Farwell. One
hundred teams and one hundred men
will be placed on the grading work for
the Albuquerque Eastern Railroad to-
ward Tijeras Canon at once, and active
work will be the order Of the day
henceforth. This will be pushed with
all possible speed and the grade will
be constructed east so as to meet the
graders coming from the west. The
laying of steel rails from Moriarty
west on the Albuquerque Eastern un-
der Foreman Mulhern commenced yes
terday and will be pushed steadily and
without interruption, until the track
reaches Hagan and thence to Albu-
querque. The completion of the Hagan
branch and of the Albuquerque East
ern itself is but question of few
months. There are about 60 miles of
track to be constructed on the road.
The ties have all been delivered in suf.
ficient numbers to reach Hagan, and
the necessary rails are on hand for the
first fifteen miles. More rails are be.
ing received and bridge timbers have
been secured and have been distribut.
ed for about half of the distance. 1t is
not believed that there will be any de-
lay on account of ties, timber and
steel rails as everything necessary for
that line has been contracted for and
is arriving daily. There seems to be
no reason why by the first OF July of
this year, passenger trains should not
be running between the Capital City
and albuquerque.

Election Investigation Order.
Denver, Jan. 3.-The Supreme Court
today took under advisement the ap
plication of Alva Adams for modifica-
ton of the order of the Supreme Court
ordering an investigation into the re-
cent election and Chief Justice Cab
bert declared that the decision would
be given later. He did not specify any
time or date for the announcement of
the decision. The arguments of attor-
neys consumed something over an
hour. Ex-Governor c. S. Thomas for
Adams urged that the order of the
court be made applicable to ballot box
es only. He asked that the investiga-
tion be made under the supervision
Of referee to be appointed by the
Supreme Court. On that plan Adams
would pay half the expense. Other
wise the expense of the investigation
would be too great for Adams. H. J.
Hersey, attorney for the Republicans
resisted the application for a modifi-
cation of the order. The contempt
cases of John A. Rush and Everett
Bell, who were cited for contempt in
obtaining writs of mandamus from the
district court when forbidden by the
Supreme Court to take such action,
were by the court referred to a griev.
