Improvements at Albuquerque.

Albuquerque, Oct. 5.=The founda-
ton has been laid and piles have been
driven for a new steel tank at the To-
just opposite the coal chutes, inside the
stockade. The old tank will probably
be moved to a site adjoining the new
one and the two will be connected
with a system of pipes which viii
make it possible for half q dozen or
more engines to take water at the
same time instead of only one as at
present. Standpipes with double arms
will be erected between the pairs of
tracks and the two tanks together will
supply enough water under heavy
enough pressure to be adequate to all
demands And 1t takes considerable
water to satisfy half a dozen of the big
decapods when they happen to all get
thirsty at once.
The removal of the switching tracks
in the yards to the south means gen
eraI rearrange of all the tracks.
It is planned to move the coal chute
across to the site of the present big
water tank. A spur will be built
around the round house so that en-
gines from the back shops can be run
in without having to cross the turn
table and go through the round house.
The work of filing in for the new
tracks south of the shops is going on
steadily and as soon as the legal diff
culties are arranged regarding the
property the matter of getting the
tracks removed will be accomplished
quickly

the temperature of the earth's surface.
THE biologists and the biologists
have long condended that some thou
,sana million years have been passed
during which the earth's surface has
presented approximately the same con-
didons of temperature as at present, in
order to allow time for the evolution of
living things and the formation of the
aqueous deposits Of the earth's crust.
THE physicists, notably Prof TAFT
and Lord Kelvin, refused to allow
more than ten million years (Which
they subsequently increased to a hun
dred' million) the estimate on
the rate of cooling OF a sphere of the
size and composition of the earth
They have assumed that its material is
self-cooling.
But as Huxley pointed out, mathe-
mates will not give a true result when
applied to erroneous data. It has now
within these last five years, become EVIL
dent that the earth's material is not
self-cooling but on the contrary self
heating. And away go the restrictions
imposed by physicists on geological
time They now are willing to give US
not merely a thousand million years,
but as many more as we want -
Prof Lancaster also dealt with the
study of disease. and said it would be

The Ace of the word.

Prof. Lancaster. in the course of an
interesting outline of the advancement
of science in the past twenty-five years,
which he gave at the opening meeting
Of the British association at New York
recently. raised the question of the age
of the earth.
He said the discovery of radium far
exceeded all other discoveries in i'm
portance. If the sun consisted of a
fraction of 1 per cent Of radium, It
would account for and make good the
heat that is annually lost by it.

fessor continued .'upsetting all caIcu-

A PROBLEM TO SOLVE.
How to Get Labor to Dig the Panama

washington, Oct b.-The- officers of
the Isthmian canal commission are bus

recently submitted by contracting firms
for furnishing Chinese labor for work
on the canal at Panama. Because of
the peculiar conditions surround lag the

In that section reports received at the

Chinese were unable to withstand the
conditions then existing and it is said
that about 70 per cent of those who
went there died. This mortality was

the government at Pekin, asking that it
refuse it's sanction to any proposition to

the Chinese authorities have remained
entirely passive in the matter and have
not made any representations to the
United States.

A Joke that Failed Twice.

Miss Adelbert had just returned
from a vacation spent at tiny village
on the Maine coast. In recounting her
experiences she talked somewhat for
the benefit of cousin, quiet person,
who was visiting her city relatives for
the first time in many years.
There was just one store In the
place." said Miss Adelbert, 'and they
kept everything, that is, anything
they had to keep.
Zone day I went in to buy some
soap, and just on venture asked the
clerk if they had Browning. He stared
at me a second, then went off and
looked under the counters and on the

ANARCHIST BAND BROKEN UP.
Leaders of Gang Which Plotted
Assassination Are Arrested.

Leaders of Gang Which Plotted
Assassination Are Arrested.
Not since the hanging of the Molly
Maguires in Central Pennsylvania has
a more dangerous gang been broken up
than that which has terrorized resi-
dents of Washington County, Pennsyl-
vania, for some time. Two ringleaders
are now under arrest, warrants are out
for three more and warrants will be
sworn out against thirty-three others
by District Attorney Owen Underwood.
Revelations following the raid on
anarchistic headquarters at Baird, Pa,
are of a character to shock the Ameri-
can people, 1t is clear that several
murders were planned by the anarch-
istic group at Baird and at Paterson,
N. J. In two cases the men marked
for assassination have been assassina-
ted. In other cases the plans to kill
the Governors of Pennsylvania and
Ohio and other public men had been
completed when the police authorities
took action.
The anarchists in this case are Ital-
ians, but they plot against men of their
own nationality as well assagainst ma
tive Americans They strike at the
Republican Governor of Pennsylvania
and at the same time lay plans to as
sassinate the newly elected Democatic
Governor of Ohio.
In some cases they demand money
in others they plan assassination with
ont reference to the character or poll
tics of the public officials to be assassi-
mated, Operating on one line they in
timidate or rob men of means, and OPP
Grating on another line they seek to
terrorize a nation of 100000 people
bv assassination of State and National
officers.
In other words, few hundred men
driven from the country of their birth
or coming to the United States to en-
low greater freedoms or to secure more
lucrative employment assume the right
to rob and the power to rule, through
intimidation and murder, the people
of the country that gives them shelter
and employment. The declared pur-
pose of the Baird and Paterson anarch-
lists is to abolish republican form OF
government and exterminate public Of
acials from President down.

BATTLE ON STATEHOOD BILL.
House PASSES Measure by Vote OF
1914 to $50.

1914 to $50.
BY a vote of 1914 to $50 the State
hood bill passed the House, and the
fight was at once transferred to the
Senate. The end of the instruction
against President Roosevelt, Speaker
Cannon and the House organization
was peaceful. The vote upon the
passage of the bill was perfunctory,
there being no excitement whatever.
The galleries were crowded, but the
attendance upon the floor was not as
large as the preceding day, when the
opposition attempted to prevent the
adoption of the rule for the considera-
ton of the bill.
Philippine tariff reform, Statehood
for the remaining Territories of the
mainland and railroad rate legislation
the three subjects of greatest con-
Germ at the beginning Of the Fifty
ninth Congress now been put up
to the uncertain Senate.
The Statehood bill, which in it's
present form proposes to erect Okla
oA~O
State and Arizona and New Mexico
into another, has been thrashed over
in all it's aspects for several years.
The desirability of admitting the two
first-named Territories to joint State
hood is nowhere questioned. Oklahoma
has advanced rapidly and promises to
become wealthy, influential and pro-
gressive State. Whatever may be said
against the joint admission of Arizona
and New Mexico many think that they
should come in together, if at all.
Neither is sufficiently developed to
merit Statehood alone, and the idea OF
giving such sparsely settled common
vealths a senatorial representation OF
four in Congress is declared to be pre-
posterous.
