The members of the South Paris
Dramatic Club, which recently repeated
"A Woman's Honor" at Oxford, "blew
in" the proceeds of that trip at very
pleasant little party in Fan-Tan Hall
Tuesday evening. When it is under
stood that the net proceeds were S2 30,
or 90 cents each for the ten people in the
cast, the significance of the club motto
appearing on the Invitations, "SkidOo
20" may be appreciated. Under the
circumstances, it was entirely appro-
pirate that the affair should be rs
party. The first number on the pro-
gram was progressive angling, in which
the capture Of a % took away all the
rest of the score. This was followed by
% hunt, the 23's being concealed about
the room. Harold Fletcher won the
prize, which was % pieces of candy. The
success Of the affair in all its features is
largely due to the leading lady and the
soubrette of the company, who had
general charge Of it. They are also re.
sponsible iof the extent to which the %
cents was spread out. Besides paying
the general expenses Of the evening. 1t
produced unlimited quantities OF choco-
late fudge, cocoanut fudge, mOlasses
candy, pop corn, stuffed dates, coffee
and q Welsh rarebit, and perhaps some
other incidentals now forgotten. The
party numbered nearly twenty, and had
. delightful social evening.

FAILURE TO INTERVENE
CAUSES KEEN DISAPPOINTMENT /

Havana, Sept. 23.--All classes are
now awaiting for the conditions under
which tranquility will likely be restor-
ed in Cuba and keen disappointment
is expected on every side because Of
the likelihood of peace being brought
about without armed American inter-
vention. That the differences of the
opposing factions could be reconciled
was not generally believed to be possi-
BILE until today, when 1t was announc-
ed that the Liberals and insurgents
had empowered a comllittee to renort
for them before the American medir-
tors.
1t is evident that the business inter-
ests of the island have no confidence
in the ability of the CubarS to rule
themselves and now. when ii appears
too late, they are openly faVOring for
clble intervention and possibly annex
alton
Secretary of War Taft is cognizant
of this general opinion that peace cam
not last unless it is enforced by an
American army but he considers that
1t Is the duty of the United States TO
give the republic another chance and
believes it would be bad policy for the
United States to keen force In Cuba
longer than was required TO supervise
the laying down of arms.
He said today that If the Liberals
and MOderates harmonize their diffe"-
ences the United States must regard
the compact as made in good faith.
That peace will come as the result
of the mediation of the United States
Is now believed by Cubans, regardless
OF party affiliation. but whether ii will
be on terms that will insure permT
nent tranquilitN is questioned.

New York. Sept. 23.-Fhe exciting
contests for party control will practl-
cally be ended this week, when the
conventions of the democratic at Buff
falo and Of the republicans at sara
toga adjourn. The two meet on the
same day, Tuesday.
Interest in the democratic gather
ing is centered in the movement on
the part of q number of democrats To
demand the nomination of William K.
Hearst for governor. So far it is not
known what the New York county
delegation, 105 strong, will do in this
respect, Charles f. Murphy, leader OF
Tammany Hall, having declined to in
dicate whether he favors Il Hearst en-
dorsement.
Senator Patrick McCarren, demo-
cratic leader in Brooklyn has come
out for Superior Court Justice Gaynor,
and Congressman Timothy ID. Sullivan
of Tammany Hall, has declared for
Congressman SulZer. There is also a
strong movement for the nomination
of Mayor Adams of Buffalo
In the republican ranks, the main
question is whether Governor Higgins
desires denomination. 1t Is gener-
ally believed since last Tuesdays prl-

control of the party, that Governor
Higgins can have denomination, il
he wants it. He is expected to make

CITIZENS CONDEMN KILLING
OF INNOCENT NEGROES

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 23.--The day
has passed without serious trouble
following the riots of Saturday night

Unconfirmed rumors of white
man killed by negroes and a negro
being shot to pieces by enraged whites
have been heard, A force of militia
Is now on duty which numbers some
what more than Il thousand men be-
sides battery of light artillery held
in reserve. Although urgently re-
quested from many sources to de-
clare martial law, Governor Terrell
has so far declined to do So He said
tonight that If the scenes of last
night are repeated, he will not hesi-
tate to put the militia in supreme
control.
Mayor Woodward has urged that
the city and county police, with the
militia, are amply able to handle the
situation. The entire city Is being
patrolled.
Mayor Woodward has issued re-
quest that all citizens remain off the
streets tonight. He will order all sa =
looms closed tomorrow morning. 1t
was the consensus of opinion during
the early evening that if the night
shall pass without serious disturbance
no further trouble need be expected.
A meeting of citizens representing
the best element of Atlanta was held
this afternoon to consider the situa-
tion.
Speeches were made and warmly
applauded, in which the killing Of
half q score innocent negroes and the
injuring a score of whites and blacks
were condemned, as Il reflection on
the spirit of the city, the state and
the entire south.
The heralding of recent assaults
on white women by negroes In flaming
headlines in extra editions of local
papers was condemned in unmeasured
terms, and the, earnest request was
made that hereafter no special edi-
! tions containing these topics be is
sued. Such "innammatory head

direct lnctement to the outrage OF
last night.
Resolutions were adopted urging

of laws closing negro dives, In which,

among the negro classes has It's

Attorney General Reid An
nOunCeS Intention to Bring
Action at Once in Regard to
Penitentiay Matter,
EXPRESSES FRANK OPINION
OF FAILURE TO INDICT
Says He Is Ready to Submit
Case in Any Court in New
Mexico Day After Suit is
Filed,

Attorney General W. c. Reid, who
was present with Governor Hagerman
Saturday at the hearing in Socorro
of the charges against Sheriff Lean
dro Baca of Socorro county, passed
through Albuquerque yesterday on
his way to Santa Fe.
THE cordial reception given to
Governor Hagerman in Socorro yes
terday," said Captain Reid, was very
pleasing to him and his friends. It
shows conclusively that the people
appreciate his efforts to give them Il
clean administration and they are
with him in his fight against graft"
Discussing the recent failure of the
grand jury i'm Santa I'e to return an
indictment against II. O. Bursum and
others in connection with the expos
ures made by the investigation of
penitentiary affairs, Captain Reid eX-
pressed very frankly his opinion of
the action of the grand jury. and in
addition announced his intention tn
institute civil proceedings against Mr..
Bursum to recover money held to he
due the territory from him as super
intendent of the penitentlary.
TO people acquainted with con-
ditions in parts of this territory, the
failure of the grand jury to find an
Indictment was not surprising" said
the attorney general. 1T certainly
does not indicate the innocence of any
of the accused. In the face of fucts
showing thousands OF dollars unnc-
counted for by Mr., Bursum, the fail
ure Of the grand jury to indict mdi.
Gates q condition in the courts OF
justice more serious to the people than
the theft of a few thousand dollars.
THE territory by the report of the
Colorado Trust company, has pointed
out to Mr.. Bursum his shortage. He
prctends not to see it and MS yet has
made no offer to reimburse the ter
ritory. This makes It necessary for
me, as attorney general to commence
an action against him To recover the
amount which we know to be due
from him.
so far as | am concerned ! am
willing to submit the facts to any
of the six judges of New Mexico with
i'm day after suit Is fled so that
Mr. Bursum may get immediate vim
