GEORGIA STATE FAIR
OPENS AT ATLANTA

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 9.-The Georgia
state fair which opened here today by
far eclipsed any of its kind ever held
in the south. The most extraordinary
features in connection with the fair
is the variety of its exhibits and when
Secretary Weldon stated that no
man, woman or child would visit the
grounds and not find something inter-
esting. he was not far OFF. New and
strange in all its features perhaps, the
most peculiar item in the menu is
the corn raising contest. Recently
the public schools all over the state
offered prizes 10 boys and girls who
could raise the most creditable crop
of cotton or corn and with a will, with
sleeves rolled up, the youngsters went
to work. Immediately following the
offer the state fair directors offered
further inducements and supplement-
ed the prize list by offering a number
of enticirg premiums.

FARMERS MEETING IN
WINDY CITY

Chicago, Oct. 9.-The twenty sixth
annual meeting of the National Farm
ers' association was held here today
and was attended by delegates from
all sections of the United States.
During the days proceedings it trans
pired that while the main object of
the association was by means of res
olutions TO express to the various
legislative bodies of the United
States what legislation was desired
or condemned, practical business was
not lost sight of; in fact the proceed
ings developed into what could be
called a mutual benefit society. When
the fact is borne in mind and when
it Is stated that some of the best
known men in the United States, each
an expert in his line, delivered ad-
dresses, the Importance of the pro-
ceedings can be judged. The Hon.
James Sheakley of Pennsylvania,
who acted as commissioner of Alas
ka for twelve years, addressed the
conference at length. His subject
was Agriculture in Alaska" Having
made a study of agriculture in that
region Mr.. Sheakley compared exist
ing agricultural conditions in the
United States and showed what an
open field yet remained for enterpris-
ing farmers in Alaska. Mr.. Clifford
Pinchot, chief of the forest service
department, gave practical advice on
forestry, and the Hon. Joseph Ran
dali of Louisiana, who is regarded as
the best qualified man in the United
States on the subject, read a paper on
Water Transportation as 1t Especial
ly Affects Farming The famous mill
lionaire farmer of Tarkit, Mo, David
Rankin, after great pressure an
nounced his willingness to come out
of his shell and for the first time in
his life addressed a public meeting.
His address on Business Methods in
Farming" was very instructive, while
another novice, l.. Whitney Watkins,
Michigan's famous young farmer, also
addressed the meeting on the same
subject. Mr.. Sergeant, United States
commissioner of immigration, in the
course of lengthy address explained
how immigration could be influenced
TO relieve the scarcity of farm labor,
and Governor Cummins of Iowa dis
cussed the question, Does the Farm
er Receive His Share of Government
Recognition? Alvan II. Sanders read
a paper dealing with foreign markets
for live stock and several other agri-
culturalists gave their views on ag-
ricultural questions.

BERNALlLO COUNTY
DISTRICT COURT

AT the Bernalillo county court
house a jury is engaged this after
noon trying to determine whether
Anna Martinez and Jose Ignacio Sal
azar are liable in damages of 81, 900
to Amelia b. de Herrera, daughter of
a Mrs. Barela, for forcibly entering
her boudoir where she lay sick and
instituting search for divers and sun
dry articles of wearing apparel which
they believed were in the room.
The vocation of Mrs. Martinez is
that of laundry woman. Recently
she missed some clothes which she
thought she could find with a search
warrant which she secured from
Judge Crawford, and placed in the
hands of Officer Salazar for service
Together they visited the Barela
home, which consists of two rooms.
Search of the premises did not re-
veal the raiment of which they were
in quest, so they visited the two ad-
joining rooms, in one of which the
plaintiff lay sick.
The plaintiff, Amalia B. de Herrera,
asked damages of the defendants, al
leging a shock to her delicate state of
health, occasioned by the intrusion of
the defendants into her private apart
ments, and the unlawful trespass in
her rooms, which the court held the
warrant did not authorize. She bases
her claim for $1,000 damages upon
the foregoing state of facts.
The defendants set up that their
action was in good faith and that
they should not be charged with dam
ages under the circumstances. The
plaintiff withdrew any claim for ma
licious trespass and the case went to
the jury this morning on the question
of whether or not the plaintiff was
entitled to actual damages.
Judge Abbott took the legislative
apportionment case under advisement
after the closing argument at
o'clock last night by Attorney w. b.
Childers. Attorney Neill B. Field did
not appear in the case, as was set
out in a published report.

MANzAN0 MOUNTAIN MURDERERS
CONFESS TO CRIME

William Mclaughlin and not John
McClough there and the two decided
on a prospecting trip to the Oscura
mountains. My husband was furnish
ing the money and Mclaughlin the
experience. Mclaughlin had lived at
Manzano three years and had consid-
cradle experience in camping, mining
and hunting. Mr. Billingslea liked
to hunt. We killed several deer
while stopping at Manzano.
The first night out from Manzano
we camped at Mountainair, and Sat
urday, the day of the murder, was our
second day out. The MeXicans had
joined us the day before and staid in
camp one night, sleeping with Mr..
Mclaughlin. It's a wonder to me
that they didn't murder us all that
night. They wanted to go along with
us, promising to show where we could
find plenty of water and mineral pros
poets. | told Jim that | didn't like
their looks, but he thought they were
all right and Mclaughlin also thought
they were all right, so 1t was decided
that they should go along.
1T was noon on the day of the
murder that We camped on what the
Mexicans called Red hill McLaugh
lin could understand them. Our water
had run ont and we had to have some
more right away.
Our guides told us that there was
water on top of the hill, which is
mountain, in fact. They said that all
four men should go for it and take
the horses. l asked Jim to stay with
M / In 10 rfu oil hut
he said 1t would be all right and the
four of them left camp, going up the
hill, all riding horses. Mclaughlin
was riding a broncho that wouldn't
stand for a gun on its back, so he
gave his rifle to the shorter of the
two MeXicans. The other Mexican
had been carrying Jim's Luger pistol
since shortly after joining the party.
and that was how they caught the
men unarmed.
Il heard several shots on the noun
tain but thought nothing of it at the
time, as there was game in the noun
tains and | supposed that they were
shooting at deer or something else.
In about half an hour the Mexicans
returned. They made me understand
this one question: Have the men re-
turned?
II told them that they had not. It
was probably 1880 o'clock in the af-
ternoon. | asked them if they didn't

influences which will affect the head
of the ticket will be felt by all the
other candidates. And the labor fight
has developed into a fight of the
American Federation of Labor on
Governor Gooding. who is charged
with an attempt to hang the officers
of the Western Federation of Miners
"as an example and a menace to or
ganized labor"
So both factions stand charged with
conspiracy to murder. The men in
Jail are charged by the state with be-
ing a band of mercenary dynamiters;
the governor and state officers are
charged by organized labor with con-
spring in behalf of the capitalistic
interests to railroad two innocent men
TO the gallows. And this is the issue
which is to be tried out at the polls,
even before the case against the men
under arrest has been tried in court.
The democrats have indorsed a man
for governor who is regarded as ia
vorable to Meyer and Haywood,
namely Judge c. o. Stockslager of the
state supreme court. The Judge puts
it automatically, that he will mot use
the executive authority to interfere
with the proper prerogatives of the
courts"-Or words to that effect. Gov.
Gooding says that the issue is be-
tween law and order and crime, and
that so long as he is governor he will
use all his power to uphold law and
punish even the most powerful Grim
inals.
Back of, Governor Gooding stand
rich mine owners, the railroads, the
business interests, etc. Against
Gooding is the labor element almost
solidly, with a large campaign fund

Mrs. BillingSled Tells Graphic
Story of How 1t
Happened.
EACH MURDERER CHARGES
SHOOTING TO THE OTHER

Mrs James Billinslea, wife of one
of the victims of the Manzano double
murder of last Saturday, was here
this morning. 1t was this woman
who remained two nights and one day
in lonely camp in the mountains
four miles from any settlement with
no other company than a small caliber
revolver, and with the terrible sus-
pense of not knowing the fate of her
husband and companion, who had left
camp in company with two native
young men, strangers to her. They
had left her with the expectation of
returning within an hour, but even
after many hours they had not re-
turned. She had heard shooting
shortly after the quartet had left
camp, and feared the worst. but she
had no way of telling what had hap
pened to them. The natives had re-
turned to camp and she had given
them food. They had acted strangely
and had spoken to her, but she un-
derstood very little of what they had
said. She had asked them what had
become of her husband and his COM
panlon, and in strange gestures they
had motioned toward the top of the
mountains.
These were the trials of Mrs Bill
lingslea the two nights and a day
that she waited for her husbands re-
turn, while his body lay bleaching in
the sun on top of the mountain less
than a mile distant, with two bullet
holes in it, and his companion a hun

brain.
Mrs. Billingslea arrived from Belen
this morning and continued to her
home at Trinidad. She is scarcely
out of her teens. She looked hardly
more than a girl this morning, in a
linen suit. Her hat a small straw
sailor, was tied with a white veil un-
der the chin. Her baggage consisted
OF a suit case, basket a coat and a
shotgun.
Sitting in the depot the hour she
waited between trains, with this lug
gage piled around her, she made a
picture that excited much pity. Tears
came to the little woman's eyes as
she told her story to a representa-
tive of The Evening Citizen. Several
times she halted to choke down the
yelling sobs, and then bravely went
on again

of w. z. Borah, whom the republicans
have indorsed for senator to succeed
Dubois.
Mr.. Borah is one of the leading at
torneys employed by the county to
aid the state in prosecuting the cases
against Haywood and Meyer. The
republicans, therefore, stand commit
ted strongly to the anti-labor side Of
the controversy.
In reply to the efforts of Senator
Dubois to crowd the Mormon issue to
the front, the republicans say that
they passed the only regulative legis-
lation ever put on the books against
the Mormons, namely, the test oath"
which requires every voter TO swear
that he is not polygamist Borah is
going over the state pledging his
party to go as far as Dubois new
party against polygamists.

The outcome of the fight between
Gooding and Stockslager is quite un-
certain.
But here is where the strangest
part of the story comes in. While
Senator Dubois has been losing in his
effcIt to make religious split, he
stands to win by the very issue which
Is putting him and his new party in
the background. For the efforts in
behalf of Meyer and Haywood are all
to aid the Democratic ticket. The
legislature will be part of that
ticket.
So the success of the radicals and
labor people in behalf of their candi-
date for governor would quite GER
tainly carry the rest of the ticket
through and send back Senator Du-
bois to Washington.
On the other hand, the defeat of
Stockslager and the reelection of
Governor GoOding would mean the
