Inten or fifteen years there will scarcely be a negro who cannot read or write. while the condition of some ow the whites, espe- cially in the mountainous districts is appalling" Among other great needs she urged the necessity of compulsory education.
 The Chapter reports were all inter- esting and showed advance along all lines. The children's reports were es- pecially enjoyed. The report of Cre- dentials Committee announced the vot- ing strength of convention to be eighty five. The report of Shiloh Monument was given by Mrs Gayle on account of the absence of the chairman, Mrs. Dawson. to whom sympathy of the con- vention was offered for bereavement in her family
 After hearing the report 1t was de- cided to abide by last convention and erect Shiloh monument at an early day Many chapters gave additional sums to- wards this work and 1t was hoped that the $3,000 mark had been reached, but later reports indicate it Is not vet quite $3,000.
 The work of the Mountain Creek Re- lief Committee which was inaugurated at the Mobile convention was present. ed by the chairman, Mrs. Gayle. It was decided to continue this commit. tee, on a motion of Mrs. Rountree and the work was made Alabama Division work. Every Chapter was instructed to add one of its members to this com mittee, who shall see that the needs of the hospital of the Jeff Falkner Home arc given especial attention Mrs. Gayle made the report of this commit infATASfinpr ahf sisted by Mrs. Frank Fillmore, both of whom vied with each other in giving praise to Miss Allie Beaumont for her fnestimab1e service to the committee and the home. The President called Miss Beaumont to the stage, saying her name should be writ in the Book of Gold" Miss Beaumont was given an ovation by the convention.
 The memorial hour was inaugurated by the President, Mrs. Thompson. for the afternoon session and a resolution offered by Mrs Dowdell was passed to devote one page of minutes to record ing the names of those beloved dead whose names are mentioned during this hour.

The welcome for the Sons of Veterans was given by Hon. T. S. Frazer, who was pleasantly known to most of the Daughters present as the Senator from Bullock county.
 He is a born orator and his address was replete with bsauty of rhetoric and flights of fieloquent and graceful words of praise for the Daughters of his State.
 II was left to Mrs. J. c. McAndrew to give the final touch of welcome. So unpretentious was this address. so hetne like in it's beautiful simplicity. that each guest took her share straight into her own heart and settled down into the comfortable security of feel ing at home.
 Mrs. w. T. Saunders of Athens fe- sponded to these welcomes on behalf or the Alabama Division. She. too emphasized the ruling idea of the other speakers In regard to teaching the youth as well as older grown the truths of history, but she went s stan iurther and said she believed that one Of the most fitting tributes would he 10 take some of the children of needy veterans and give them the comnnon scnooi education which at present was out Of their reach.

 The president now gave her annpal address, expressing pleasure at meeting so large a representation. She re- viewed the affairs of the division for the past year. expressing qualification at the encouraging reports of work accomplished. She expressed regret at the unavoidable absence of Mrs. Co.'s ton, first vice president, but commend ed her for valuable ass:stance rem dered during the past And in clos Ing made some valuable rulings and re- commentators. among them that a committee on jurisprudence be appoint ed The address was greeted with ap- plause and all the recommendations adopted.

ONE MAN WAS KILLED
Twenty Miles Northwest Of Mag
dalena Thursday Evening, An
other Had Narrow Escape,
JUAN MONTOYA IN CUSTODY
Says That Two Strangers Made
Deadly Assault upon Members
OF His Family.

Deputy Ed 5. Stapletun re.
ceived word Yesterday morning
that Juan Moutoya Y Castillo
had killed Il man the night be-
fore at his hanch 20 miles north
west of Magdalena. No partic-
ulars of the killing were avail
able until yesterday afternoon
when Montoya was brought down
on the Magdalena train in custody
of IN officer.
The Chiettain then learned the
circumstances OF the killing sub
stantially as follows:
Montoya aud family, his broth
er-in-law, and his father-in-law
and family were at Montoya's
ranch home 20 miles northwest
of Magdalena Thursday evening.
AT about dark two strangers rode
up and inquired about the Nc
Bride ranch They then asked
for supper, which was given
them. When one of them, whom
Muntova recognized as Tom
Craig, was asked his name,
Craig denied his name. This
aroused Montoya'S suspicious.
The strangers stayed moving
about until about o'clock
and then went out of the
house, saying that they must
fix their saddles, but quickly re-
turned with their pistols. The
two fired simultaneously, one at
the father-in-law and the other
at the brother-in-law. Montoya
seized his pistol and fired at one
of the strangers who ran
away firing as he ran. AS Mon
toya turned, Craig was beating
the father-in-law over the head
with his pistol. In the mix up
which followed, Montoya fired at
Craig, the shot taking effect in
Craig's forehead and killing him
instantly. 1t is not known
whether the other stranger was

night obliterated all trails. II
is thought that the motive of the
attack upon Montoya and family
was robbery.
Montoya came in to Magdalena
yesterday and delivered himself
into the custody of Deputy Henry
Dreyfus, who happened to be
present. He was brought down
to Socorro yesterday afternoon.
He appears to be man of in
telligence and bears a good rep
utation.
Attorney A. A. Sedillo has
been retained and has charge OF
the defense.

TEACHERS EXAMINATIONS
Held in This City Last Friday and
Saturday at Close of Institute

The regular examination of
teachers for Socorro county was
held at the second ward school
building in this city last Friday
and Saturday at the close of the
normal institute as prescribed by
law. Several applicants for
teachers third grade certificates
failed to reach the required grade.
owing probably to the fact that
the examining board thought
best to raise the grade somewhat
above what it has been hereto
fore.
The successful applicants were
the following:
First grade R. w. Twining,
Miss Edna Dobbins.
Second grade Miss Della l..
Harris.
Third grade -Florencio Giron,
T.. A. Vigil, Rumaldo Gonzales,

CANNON'S GOOD SUGGESTION
Urges Voting For Joint Statehood
Otherwise May Have Long Time
To Wait.

Although engaged in a very
strenuous campaign in his home
district for reelection to the Six
tieth congress on the Republican
ticket. Uncle Joe Cannon is
watching the progress of the
campaign in New Mexico and
Arizona keenly and constantly.
The veteran statesman is greatly
interested and is doing what he
can in aid of the proposition.
Should the enabling act be re-
jected by the people of the two
territories November 3 next,
Speaker Cannon does not believe
that either territory will get into
the Union as state during the
next twenty-five years.
A recent letter from him to
Delegate w. II. Andrews is in
point and follows:
Dear Mr.. Andrews:
Il congratulate you and the
people you represent in the terri
tory of New Mexico. and those
in Arizona as we'll, on the most
liberal legislation for statehood
ever enacted by any congress for
those appealing for an enabling
act to form a state government.
The bill passed by this congress,
enabling Oklahoma and Indian
territory to form one state, and
Arizona and New Mexico to form
another state, provides as to Ari-
zona and New Mexico a grant of
land amounting to 2,400, 900
acres, and an appropriation of
$4,000, 900 for the new state. II,
under this enabling act, Arizona
and New Mexico should be ad-
mitted, it disposes of all our ter
ritories in what is called the
United State proper.
Many people of the great
! states great in population and
otherwise-object to statehood
both as to New Mexico and Ari-
zoua, either as two states or as
one state. If statehood is accept.
ed l believe the new state will
work out its own salvation for
its citizens with comparative
safety to the thickly populated
states. In my judgment, if state
hood fails for Arizona and New
Mexico, under the present en-.
abling act, they would remair
as territories for the next quarter
of century.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Holds Adjourned Regular Meeting
Tuesday Evening in Office of
President John E. Griffith.
BUILDINGS TO Be REPAIRED
The Contract Was Let to W. d.
Crabtree for the Consideration
of 81, ,342.6

The city Board of Education
held meeting Tuesday evening
in the office of President John T..
Griffith.
The principal matter presented
for the consideration of the board
was that of letting the contract
for repairing the first and second
ward school buildings in accord
ance with the specification pub
lished in the call for bids in the
last two issues of the Chieftain.
W. ID. Crabtree was the success
full bidder at 81, $4,000. Mr..
Crabtree gave a satisfactory
bond in twice the amount of his
contract.
The two buildings referred to
and their outbuildingS will be
subjected to a general overhaul
ing that will put them into first
class condition. Some of the
principal features of the improve
mentS made will be the repairing
of the roofs, the painting of the
roofs and all outside woodwork,
the rebuilding of chimueys, the
replasteriug of all rooms where
needed, and the putting up of
steel ceilings in two rooms of the
first ward building. All inside
work under this contract is to be
finished before September 10, the
date on which it is expected that
the city schools will be opened.
There is generous school
fund now on hand and with what
is still to be collected it is
thought that the schools of the
city will be in session at least
nine months of the next school
-ypar; the teachers employed have
all been tried; and the board is
taking an active and intelligent
interest in promoting the efficien-
cy of the schools. In fact every
thing indicates that Socorro will
be favored with a long and es-
pecially successful session of her
public schools during the year
| about to Open.

A Lively Game of Ball in This City
Last Sunday Afternoon.

The cutoff ball toSSerS came
down last Sunday morning and
returned home the next morning
with the ScalpS of the Socorro
Reds dangling at their belts. a
large crowd went out to see the
game and was we'll paid for the
going, for the game was a lively
one from start to finish. Until
the seventh inning it looked a
little as though the Reds would
be shut out, but at that late
stage of the game they took a
bracer and tailed five runs before
the John Becker Company could
head them off. The local team
put one man over the plate in
the eighth. and there their tai
lies ended, the score standing Z
to in favor of the visitors. Lee
Mitchell acted as umpire. There
was hard kicking at some of his
decisions, but his errors of judg-
ment, if any, were about evenly
divided between the two teams
and nobody seemed disposed to
accuse him of partiality. The
two teams are pretty evenly
matched, each now having one
game to it's credit, and lovers of
the national sport hope that the
tie will be played off before the
season is ended. The story OF
Sundays game is told in the fol-
lowing

DEMOCRATS FAVOR JOINTURE
The Territorial Convention Will BE
Held at Santa Fe on septem-
her 12.

The Democratic Territorial
Central Committee met at Santa
Fee Thursday afternoon. Santa
Fc was chosen aS the place and
September II as the date for the
Democratic Territorial Conven-
tion, and the following resolu-
tion was passed:
RESOLUTION IN FAVOR OF JOINT
URE:
Whereas. the Democratic party
of the Territory of New Mexico,
in convention assembled in the
two conventions of 1904, held re-
Spectively in April at Silver City
and in August at Las Vegas, un-
equivocally declared in favor of
the passage of the then pending
Statehood bill in Congress, de-
claring in favor of joint state
hood for the Territories of New
Mexico and Arizona; and
Whereas, the sentiment of the
Democratic party of the Terri
tory of New Mexico has ever
been in favor of statehood; and
Whereas, in the opinion of the
Democratic Territorial Central
Committee the bill passed at the
last session of Congress known as
the Hamilton Enabling act No.
pa should be accepted as being
one of the most liberal enact
ments under which any state was
admitted to the Union, and it
being practically the bill which
the said Democratic convention
declared in favor of and approv-
ed; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Democrat
ic Territorial Central Committee
of New Mexico, representing the
Democratic party, hereby pledge
our most earnest support towards
ratifying the said enabling act
passed by the 59th Congress.
We believe by accepting state
hood as offered at this time will
best serve the interests of the
people as Il whole.
