IS RIVAL COMPANY AFTER
ALBUQUERQUE EASTERN?
General Manager Hopewell Denies the Ru-
mor-Appearances Indicate Some One
Is Attempting to Jump the
Right-of- Way.

It begins to look as though there
would be something doing" on the
line of the Albuquerque Eastern rail-
road within the next week or so.
Arson Johnson. a railroad contractor,
is securing all the laborers he possi-
bly, can for work on the line between
Frost and Hagan. He spent the day
in albuquerque trying TO secure la
borers. and yesterday his foreman,
Miguel L2rmarillo, shipped to Hagan
thirty-six horses and mules, forty
scrapers and other paraphernalia TO
be used in the work of grading.
It is the intention of the company
to complete the track from Frost sta
tion to Hagan as soon as possible,
and actual work will begin just as
soon as the necessary laborers can
be secured.
In conversation with representa-
tive of The Evening Citizen, the
above named gentleman stated that
the work would probably be pushed
to completion as far as the building
of line to the Hagan coal fields was
concerned, but when pressed, would
not say whether it was the Albuquer-
que Eastern or a rival company that
was making preparations to start
grading in that district
Denies Above Item.
When shown the above item, Col.
w. S. Hopewell, general manager of
the Albuquerque Eastern, which com
pany also owns and operates the
Santa Fe Central, said most emphat-
ically that there was absolutely no
truth in the rumor," and declining 10
so into explanations.
1t is rumored that a rival company
has been formed for the purpose of
jumping" the Albuquerque Eastern's
right of way, and building into the
Hagan coal fields. and judging from
the information given out by the rep
resentative OF Anson Johnson, It GER
tainly looks as though an attempt
w-uld be made at once to complete
a line into the Hagan coal fields.

PRESIDENTS SPEECH
STIRS EVERY HEART

The history of our navy, like the
history of our nation, only extends
over period of a century and a quar-
ter; yet We already have many men,
ories of pride to thrill us as we. read
or hear of what has been done by our
fighting men of the sea, from Perry
and MacdOnough to Farragut and
Dewey. These memories include bril-
liant victories, and also, now and
then, defeats only less honorable
than the victories themselves. but the
only defeats 10 which this praise can
be given are those where, against
heavy odds, men have stood to the
death in hopeless battle. It Is well
for every American officer to remem-
Der that while a surrender may or
may not be defensible, the man who
refuses to surrender need never
make a defense. The one fact must
always be explained; the other needs
no explanation. Moreover, he who
would win glory and honor for the
nation and for himself, must not too
closely count the odds; If he does,
he will never see such a day as that
when Gushing sank the Albermarle.
In his fight with the Scraps,
Jones ship was so badly mauled that
his opponent hailed him, saying, HAS
your ship struck? To which Jones
answered, Il have not yet begun to
fight" The spirit which inspired that
answer upbore the man who gave 1t
and the crew who served him through
lne fury of the battle, which finally
ended in their triumph. It was the
same spirit which marked the com
manders Ct the Cumberland and the
Congress, when they met an equally
glorious. though less fortunate. fate.
The Cumberland sank, her flag flying.
and her guns firing with the decks
awash, while when summoned to sur
render, Morris replied, Never, I'll
sink alongside," and made good his
words. Immediately after the Cum
becland was sunk the Congress was
attacked and her commander, Lieu
tenant Joe Smith, was killed. After
fighting until she was helpless. and
being unable TO bring her guns to
bear, the ship was surrendered: but
when Smiths father, old Commodore
J-a Smith, who was on duty ar Wash
tngton, saw by the dispatches from
Fort Monroe that the Congress had
holsted the white flag, he said quietly,
Then JOe's dead Surely, no father
could wish to feel a prouder certainty
of his boys behavior than the old
commodore showed he possessed.
when he thus spoke; and no naval Of,

Special to The Evening Citizen.
Washington, d. c., April 24.-After
a favorable report from the commit
tee of claims upon it, the claims of
Colonel f. II. Bergman, ex-superin-
tendent of the New Mexico peniten-
tiary, was referred to the house com
mittee on war claims, with the hope
that it will be inserted in the gen.
eral appropriation bill for passage.
Governor Hagerman and Senator
Foraker had a warm interview today
regarding the anti-gambling bill. 1t
seems that Senator Foraker regards
this hill as being a ruse of the joint
statehOJdites in Arizona to force the
gambling element in that territory to
support jointure, and that the Ari-
zona jointurites are not pressing its
passage for moral reasons. Governor
Hagerman today lunched with Sena-
tor Beveridge and later called on the
president.

Annapolis, Md. April 24-The city
is filled with thousands of visitors
who have been attracted by the un-
usual naval spectacle which will take
place here today in connection with
the removal of the body of Admiral
Paul Jones from the temporary tomb
in the Academy grounds to a room
in the Memorial hall of Bancroft hall.
It had been intended at first to deposit
the body in the cryt in the basement
of the new chapel building Of the
Naval Academy, but the latter could
not be completed in time. Rather than
postpone the date of the memorial
ceremony, the Secretary of the Navy
decided to deposit the body temper
arily in Bancroft hall, and to have it
transferred without ceremony to the
crypt, when the latter will be finished.
The French government had sent
over a cruiser squadron to take part
in the exercises and the French war
ships arrived here a few days ago.
The squadron consisted of the flag
ship Marseillaise, and the first class
cruisers Admiral Aube and Conde.
The squadron is under the command
of Rear Admiral Campion. Admiral
Campion, the members of his staff,
and the officers of the French cruisers
were first received upon their arrival
by Rear Admiral Bradford, of the
American cruiser squadron, consist
ing of the flagship Olympia, the Cleve-
land, Denver and Des Moines, and
later by Rear Admiral Davis, of the
battleship division, consisting of the
battleships Alabama (fagship), Iowa,
Illinois and Massachusetts,. Upon
landing, they were received by Super
intendent Sands of the Naval Acad-
emy, and his staff of officers. Yester-
day, Admiral Campion and the men,
bers of his staff were escorted to
Washington, where they were enter
tanned by President Roosevelt at
luncheon, in the White House They
returned last night and spent the
night aboard their ships, to be in
readiness for the ceremonies today.
A special train from Washington,
bearing President Roosevelt, the
French ambassador, NJ. Jusserand,
other foreign dignitaries, a number OF
United States senators and members
of the House of Representatives, ar
rived here shortly after noon today.
The distinguished guests were re-
ceived at the station by Admiral
Sands and other officers of the Naval
Academy, and escorted to the official
residence of the superintendent, where
they were entertained at an informal
luncheon. Shortly before O'Clock,

On behalf of the American people,

great French nation, that proud and
gallant nation, 10 whose help we once
owed it that John Paul Jones was
able to win for the Stars and Stripes

now owe it that the body of the long
dead hero has been sent hither and
that 10 commemorate the reception OF
the Nlustrious dead a squadron of
FrenCh warships has come to our
shores.
The annals of the French navy are
filled with the names of brave and
able seamen, each of whom counted
death as n mistress when the honor
of his 1lag was at stake; and among
the figures of these brave men there
loom the larger shapes of those
like Tourville, Duquesene and the
Bailli de Suffren, who won renown as
fleet admirals inferior to none of any
navy of their day in martial prowess.
In addition to welcoming the dip

STATE MILITIA PROVING
Al TOGETHER TOO ERC

San Francisco Cal, April 24.-Chief
of Police Dinan announced this morn
ing that the reports of clashes be-
tween the police and national guards
men were greatly exaggerated. Off
GERS of the department are taking
their regular details from the cap
tains of their respective companies,
and are doing patrol duty in con-
junction with the regulars. 1t is be-
lieved that before the close of today,
every militiaman will be withdrawn
from duty on the city streets. There
have been a number of disagreeable
little incidents, and on several oc-
caslons the militiamen have fired on
the police for disobeying some order
issued by a guardsman. For this rea-
son it is desirable that the militia be
withdrawn.

II am and have been In close touch
with several prominent officials of
the Albuquerque Eastern, and | can
safely say that the road, and the Ha-
gan coal fields line will be built in the
very near future The rights of way
have been secured and a great deal
of grading already completed. Plenty
of material is now on hand to com
plete these lines. Work on the Albu
Querque Eastern, which has been sus-
pended for some time, has not been
renewed as yet, but will undoubtedly
be commenced in the near future. In
the meantime, any other company,
corporation or individual that wants
to build a line TO albuquerque, the
Hagan coal fields, or elsewhere, has a
perfect right to do So, and can say
that the owners of the Albuquerque
Eastern, the Hagan coal fields road,
and the Santa Fe Central, will put no
distractions in the way of any new
railroad that may be projected or
proposed to be built into Albuquerque
or the coal fields, but their rights OF
way and the property holders of the
Albuquerque Eastern and Santa Fe
Central will be protected to the full
est extent, and as yet no company, or
ganization or corporation has secured
an interest in the Albuquerque East
ern's right of way. This | know to
be a fact, and If a company is now
sending men, teams and scrapers to
Fr2st station or Hagan, 1t is not the
Albuquerque Eastern. for while that
road will certainly be completed,
work has not yet been renewed upon
its right of way"
Another Company, Perhaps.
According to the above, it certainly
looks as though some other company
besides the Albuquerque Eastern was
desirous of securing an entrance into
the Hagan coal fields district, but II
actual work is to be commenced, the
fact has been kept decidedly quiet, as
no one in Albuquerque, outside of
Miguel Larmarillo, representative Of
Anson Johnson, who claims he has
sent thirty-six horses and mules and
forty scrapers to the scene Of in
tended operations, could be found
who would authorltiyely state that
work would be commenced in the next
few days, and General Manager Hope
well. of the Albuquerque Eastern, as
quoted above denies the statement
that horses, men and aapers had
been sent 20 cOmmeu"a work on any
of the Albuquerque Easrorn's prop
critics.
