ATTEMPTED
MURDER IN
THE DARK

Shot from ambush in the dark, Chan
San Duk, a Korean, lies at the
Queens Hospital with two bullets in
his left shoulder. and the wound from
a third ball through his left arm.
The story that the man tells is re-
markable one. He says that he does
not know who shot him, although the
police have their doubts as to his
statement in this regard, as also con-
corning his story that he does not
know why he was shot
However that may be, Chan San
Duk says that at about eight o'clock
last night, while he was passing along
Judd street toward the hills that come
down close to the Emmeluth place.
suddenly and without warning a man
stepped out from the shadow of pa
paya tree close to the fence and began
firing at him. He had done nothing
to the would-be murderer, and did not
know why he should have been shot.
The assaulted man turned to run at
the first fire, but fell and the police
We're notified of the shooting by tele- /
phone. The patrol wagon was at once
sent to the scene of the crime, and the

their entertainment while here. The
dinner was served on the Eva lanai of
the hotel, the table being simply, but
tastefully, garnished with vases of red
carnations and red shaded silver can

LANE MEN
ARE BOUND
To KUH|O

The story of why the Lane Sunday
school class got behind Kuhio for Con-
gress when it was really formed to
protect Mr.. Ned Adams from the ma
chinations of the bad Mr.. Achi is one
of the political jokes of the times To
begin with, those little Lane fellows
had nothing in the world up their
sleeve but an assortment of long and
crooked knives for the bad man. They
were after the heart of Achi, and
sworn to see if there was any blood
in it, It was, in large measure, a
matter of defense, pure and simple.
Because, if Achi really was after
the community was mighty apt
to be highly amused by seeing a
Supervisor-at-large streaking it for the
tall lehua forests of Tantalus imme-
diately after the next county conven-
ton was holden in Oahu. Achi could
give those fellows cards and spades,
and a beating, when it came to the
political game.

New Mexican Improved. i.

We have thought that the
Santa Fe New Mexican was as
attractive a newspaper as any
published in the southwest but
we see now that we have been
admiring the intellectually of
that paper rather than its typo
graphical appearance, and its
recent improved typographical
makeup has added to the gen.
eral cleverness of that paper.
The Santa Fe New Mexican is a
mighty power in New Mexico
simply because Col. Frost is a
man of superior intellect. But
Col. Frost's worth is not alto
gether measured by the inesti-
mable service of his paper, but
together with his incalcuable
service and devotion to the up
building and best interest Of
the Territory. May the New
Mexican and its editor enjoy
many more years of usefulness
in this blessed Land of Sun
shine. J"

STATEHOOD BILL NEXT
The Foraker Amendment Will
be the Proposition for New
Mexico and Arizona.

Washington, May p. - An
agreement on the Statehood bill
embodied in a conference report
will be reached this week, ac-
cording to information from the
Conference room today. Just
what the terms will be can not
be stated with precision, as the
report has not yet been drafted.
The points which seem to be
acceptable to both sides, howev-
er, are: That Oklahoma and
Indian Territory shall be admit
ted as one State at once; that
Arizona and New Mexico shall
be allowed to vote separately on
the question of joined in one
State; that this vote shall be
cast at a regular territorial cleo
tiOn when officers of the terrific
ries are voted for.
The proposition is generally
known as the Foraker amend
ment of q year ago.

The House Of Wolfnger.

G. j. Wolfinger's dry goods
house is known wherever this
paper is known. His continuous
advertising patronage to this
paper has helped him to build
up a very prosperous business
and the fact that absolute relia-
bility goes with every business
transaction with Wolfinger has
given the house the name of
THE Old Reliable Place" Mr..
Wolfinger's word is as good as
his note. The goods sold at his
store have that absolute reliabil-
ity which marks the character of
Wolfinger and the advertise
ments of Wolfnger's store are
truthful messages to our readers.
Aside from Mr.. Wolfinger's bus
mess reputation he is one of our
most valued and honored citizens
and one who takes an active in
terest in every thing that is for
the Advancement and better
ment of Alamogordo and our
people. He is not afraid of his
own opinions and will express
his opinions to any body and
anywhere on any subject with
out fear of losing a nickle in
trade"

RATE BILL PASSED At LAST
Senate Finally Gets to End Of the
String on the Rate Bill.

Washington, May 1S.-After
seventy days of almost continu-
Gus deliberation the senate to-
day at 4:53 p. m. passed the
railroad rate bill~by the practi-
cally unanimous vote of II to 3.
The three negative votes were
cast by Senators Foraker, Re-
publican, of Ohio, and Morgan
and Pettus, Democrats, of Ala
bama.
There was a somewhat larger
attendance of senators than u.s.
ual, but the attendance in the
galleries was by no means alb
normal, and there was no mani
festation of any kind when the
result was announced. There
was, however, an almost general
sigh of relief among the senators.
The bill has received more at
tention from the senate and
from the country at large than
any measure that has been be-
fore congress since the repeal
of the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act in 1893.

N. WHITEMAN SU|CIDED
Ending Of a Long and Eventful
Life by Shooting Himself.

Tuesday morning our people
were shocked by the report Of
the suicide of NJ. Whiteman.
The doors of his store were not
open Tuesday morning which
aroused the feeling that some
thing was wrong. Upon investi-
cation it was discovered that he
was dead in his bed room i'll the
rear of the store. Evidence
showed that he had shot himself
with a Winchester, and that he
had made two attempts, first
time missing his aim and the
second time he placed the gun
under his chin and by the dis
charge of the gun tore great
hole through his head, thus end
ing his long and eventful life.
NJ. Whiteman was So years Of
age and a native of Russia. He
had lived in the West for many
years and was a noted character
as a Jew merchant.
He is represented as one of the
characters in the novel Hearts
Desire" by Emmerson Hough,
as "Whiteman, Jew, the mer-
chant.
He was a man of superior in
telligence and had was noted for
business shire wdness.
He had lived here since the
founding of the town and con-
Quoted a store on Pennsylvania
avenue. Most of the time he
had lived here alone while his
family lived at Roswell.
The remains were embalmed
and held by Undertaken Buck
till the arrival of a son, Chas.
.Whiteman of Roswell, who had
been notified of the death, and
upon his arrival the body was
shipped to Roswell for inter
ment.

CHANDELIERS OPINION
On the Rate Bill as it Passed the
Senate as to the Advantages
and Disadvantages.

Washington, May 20.-Now
that the Senate has passed the
railroad rate bill with numerous
amendments public men are dis
cussing what the measure as ii
leaves the Senate really accom-
plishes. When former Senator
William +. Chandler, who has
been a storm center Of the rate
bill discussion was asked to ex.
press his opinion about the bilL
he said:
The railroad rate bill as il
passed the House had many
merits and some beneficial
amendments were adopted in
the Senate. AS a whole, it is a
great advance over the present
law, which holds the interstate
Commerce Commission as ia
rate-making far behind the posi-
ton it was supposed to occupy
when the law passed in 1887,
but which supposed position has
been destroyed by various deci-
sions Of the Supreme Court.
The power which is now to
be given to the commission to
hear complaints of exorbitant
rates and to apply remedies is a
great assertion of popular and
legislative power which will
never again be destroyed.
The fundamental mistake Of
the bill as it stands is that it in.
vites judicial interference with
the administrative work of max.
ing rates which is to be perform.
ed in the first instance by the
commission. The railroads need
no protection against the com.
mission except what their situa.
ton gives them. They can re.
fuse to obey any order of the
commission on setting rates and
thereupon the commission il
helpless until it goes into court
IN one or all of three ways-fol
mandamous orders against the
carrier for penalties or for dam,
ages to the shippers.
Whenever these proceeding
are undertaken any constitution
al rights of the railroads can be
asserted and the class Of rights
can not be taken away by legis
lation. Every other right Of in
reference with the commission
can be and should be taken away
by legislation. Therefore, while
the bill in any shape in which il
Is likely to pass will be great
advance upon present conditions
1t will not be what the true in,
terests of the people require.

MEMORIAL DAY PROCLAMATION
Governor Hagsrman Calls on ALI
Patriotic Citizens to Observe
Decoration Day.

Executive Office, Santa Fe, N.
NJ, May IS, 1905.
The truest patriotism is the
patriotism which shows itself in
action at those times when the
nation calls for the sacrifice OF
personal interests integrity Of
the flag of our country. The
test of good citizenship is not
only the holding of high ideals
of civic honor and righteousness,
but the willingness of the indi-
vidual to proclaim those ideals
and, if necessary, devote his
to upholding them. The men
who in times of stress and dan
ger to the republic have been
called upon to make such sacri-
flee and have not flinched, but
have given their lives that the
nation might've, by whose faith,
energy and devotion the integ-
rity of our institutions has been
preserved are true patriots whose
memories should be cherished in
gratitude by all the people.
AS the day approaches which
has SO fittingly and properly
been set aside for the decoration
of the graves of our dead soldiers
and sailors and for the celebra-
tion of their deeds of heroism
and self sacrifice, We should also
remember the great services
done by the living survivors of
the wars, which in the incurable
wisdom of God have come to try
the souls of the men and women
of all parts of our country during
the past generation.
In accordance, heretofore, with
established custom and usage, l,
Herbert J. Hagerman, Govern
or of the Territory of New Mex
leo, do recommend that on
Wednesday, the thirtieth day of
May, 1905, the people in parts
of the Territory refrain from all
unnecessary labor and public
amusements, and add their eff
forts to those of patriotic asso-
Citations to bring about a proper
observance of the day and de-
vote it to services in honor of
the nations dead, and to acts of
respect for those soldiers and
sailors who have survived the
wars in which they were engag-
ed.
Done at the executive Office
this the 18th day of May, A. D.,

seal of the Territory of New Mex

Wants Honest Republican Paper.


"Scrutinizer" in the Cloud
croft Silver Lining feels "the
need of a straight forward, ener-
getic, honest, faitful Republican
newspaper in our county" He
also hints that the time is here
for the Silver Lining to get off
the fence.
We have known for some time
that a few of Otero county
'Scrutinizers" are displeased
with all the Otero newspapers,
and we advise "Scrutinizer" to
join his dissatisfied brethren and
buy out the newspapers Of 0tero
county and run them to suit
themselves.
We may not be honest enough
to run q straight forward and
honest Republican paper but
we are honest enough to advise
''Scrutinizer" just how to get
his belly full Of the newspaper
business, and we willalso remark
that the newspaper that tries to
please every body and every
damphool makes q miserable
mess and failure, SO We propose
to run our business to suit our
selves, ''Ecrutinizer" to the con
trafy notwithstanding.
