The New Mexico Earthquakes

Many of the people of Socorro are still
camping in the open. The action of Mayor
BCrsum who, at his own expense. is doubt
ing the capacity of the city's water supply
to meet any fire emergency, is restoring
confidence as he keeps the men at work
even during the frequent earthquake
shocks.
Many Of the refugees at Santa Fe and AL
buquerque have signified their intention of
returning to Socorro next week If there are
no more violent manifestations by that
time.
A careful search of the lava fields to the
southeast of the city has failed to reveal
any new hot springs or evidences of vol
canic action reported yesterday. The en-
tire property damage at Socorro will not
exceed 5000, as only the old adobe houses
have suffered. In surrounding towns the
property damage is also slight. owing to
the cheap character of the buildings affect
ed and the absence of costly structures.
The natives who were praying in the
streets have become quoted.
The shocks undoubtedly are caused by
slides of mountain masses in the Magda-
lena and Socorro ranges, caused by recent
heavy rains.

LONGER HOURS OF WORK.
Order Issued Affecting Office of Prop
erty Clerk

In order to handle without delay the
great rush of work In his office incident to
the beginning of the new fiscal year Prop
erty Clerk Hargrove has issued rule re-
quiring his clerical force to be on duty from
S:45 o'clock in the morning until 8 O'Clock
in the afternoon, instead of the customary
hours from 8:45 until 4:15.
The bulk of this extra work consists of
filling out the numerous acquisitions of the
various departments of the District for sup
plies for the next twelve months, the major
portion of which come from the public
schools. With the installation of the new
board of education number of changes
have been made in the yearly requ sition for
supplies.
That this work of making out the orders
for supplies is no mere bagatele Property
Clerk Hargrove states that his department
will buy supplies for the next year amount
piled for from a tooth pick to baby grand
piano has to be itemized and properly cias-
sified and tabulated and put on record.
Although the half a hundred clerks in the
Office of the property clerk who are affected
by this overtime rule" are not making any
unnecessary howl threatening to go on
a strike they are not smiling with any par
ticular delight, as the order not only means
longer hours but 1t will be case of buck
ling down to some real hard work.
Just how long the order will remain in
force is not known by Property Clerk Har-
grove. He states that his office will be kept
busy working overtime for at least two
or three weeks

TO TRY CAPT. KOEHLER
CHARGED WITH ABUSIVE LAM
GUAaE REGARDING sUPERIoRs.

A wrangle between two army officers in
the far-away Philippines. ending in mutual
abuse. was the reason for the issue by the
acting secretary of war of an order for the
assembling of a general court-martial No
vember / at Zamboango, in the Island of
Mindanao. This rather unusual course was
pursued because the officials here were not
certain that some officers higher in rank
than the two principals might be drawn
into the matter. From the order it appears
that Capt. L. NJ Koehler. 4th Cavalry, is
to be tried for using Incorporate language
toward his superior ofiicer. At first It was
charged that the captain abused Maj. Hugh
L. Scott. 14th Cavalry. his immediate supe-
rfor. They preferred charges against each
other. and Gen. Wood found the major
blameless. but contaminated the captain.
The court found him guilty and sentenced
him to be reprimanded. The captain. in his
indignatio declared that he had been
treated unfairly. thereby rejecting on Gen.
Wood and 1t was because the latter so re-
Quested that the department itself ordered
this second court-martial The remote date
fixed for the meeting OF the court is ex-
planned by the necessity Of sending wit
nesses from the United States to Zambo-
ango and other legal requirements.
The detail for. the court is as follows:
Brig. Gen. Winfield s. Edgerly, United
States army: Col. Alfred c. Markley, 18th

NEW FRENCH SMALL ARM.
A Sample of the Improved Lebel Rife
Received Here.

A sample of the new French small arm,
the improved Lebel rife has been received
at the War Department and is being care
fully examined by the experts. The gun
is about four inches longer than the new
American army rifle, slightly smaller in
caliber and a pound or two heavier, but
it does not appear that 1t surpasses the
American arm in range, accuracy or other
valuable qualities. The magazine extends
in line with the barrel like an American
sporting rife and the gun uses no clips:
consequently 1t is much slower to load
than our own gun; the center of gravity
is continually shifting with the movement
of the ammunition in the magazine, and
there is danger that a shell in the maya
zine might be exploded by a sharp blow
of the stock upon the ground. causing the
pointed bullet of one shell to strike the
primer of the one above 1t. A queer square
ribbed bayonet over twenty inches in length,
fitted with a sword handle of aluminium
gives the French gun a formidable APP
pearance, but our ordnance officers think
better of our knife bayonet

NEW RULE ADOPTED.
Commissioners Act Regarding EIec-
trical Licenses,

Carrying into effect the recent order of
the Commissioners providing that electrical
contractors be required to have gasfitter's
licenses IL they desire to do any work In
connection with gas pipes in houses Elec-
trical Engineer Allen today drafted a new
rule, which will be added to the electrical
wiring regulations. 1t has been approved
by the Commissioners and will accordingly
take the place of original rule No. o, under
the subhead licenses" in the regulations
The new rule is as follows:
Permits for the Introduction of electric
wires and apparatus in buildings and certifi
Gates relating to the proper installation of
such wires and apparatus, where the same
involves work on combination gas and cleo
trio fixtures, or where electric fixtures or
other apparatus are attached to or form
any part of the plumbing or gasftting sys-
TEN In any building, will not be issued by
the electrical engineer unless the contractor
who does the above described work shall
have been licensed as a master plumber or
gasfitter, as required by the plumbing regu-
lations of the District of Columbia.
Under this rule all electrical contractors
doing any of the above described work must
either become master plumbers or gasfltters
or have that portion of their work done by
licensed master plumber gasfltter.'
The original rule No. has been revoked
by the Commd ssioners. The question of re-
Quiring electrical contractors to become IL
censed plumbers gasftters. in connection
with their work upon combination fixtures
in buildings In the District, was brought
up by Electrical Engineer Allen several
weeks ago. and so strenuous were the pro-
tests of the electrical contractors that a
public hearing was granted by the Com
missioners. On that occasion the views Of
all concerned were heard, and in addition
to the protests of the electrical workers, the
master plumbers and gasfitters submitted
arguments favoring the adoption of the pro-
posed amendment. They claimed that the
rule which. required them to call in an
electrical contractor when wiring work in
connection with combination gas and cleo
trical fixtures was to be DONE should be
made equitable by imposing a similar re-
quirement upon the electrical workers when
they wished to repair, install or otherwise
disturb the gas pipes of such fixtures That
the Commissioners leaned to this latter view
has been evidenced by their adoption today
of the new rule quoted.
