AUTO CAUGHT
IN Qu|CksAND
REQ M0UNTAINEER MIRED IN
THE TREACHEROUS RIO PUERC0
Special to the Morning Journal.

Special to the Morning Journal.
Gallup, N. NJ, Jan. f0.-The cele-
brated REQ Mountaineer, the automo-
bile driven across the wastes of ArizA
ona and New Mexico in a record
breaking rans-continental trip by
Percy r Megargel. of New York, has
reached Gallup after some strenuous
experiences between this city and the
Arizona line. The battered and di-
lapidated devil wagon got stuck in the
quicksands of the Rio Puerco of the
west between Gallup and Manuelite
Sunday night and II took several
hours pretty hard work and some
quick thinking to keep the machine
from finding an untimely grave In the
bottom OF the treaeherous stream.
Megargel and his companion had a
narrow escape from getting mired and
1t took all Sunday night and a good
part Of Monday to get the automobile
out of the clutches of the quicksand.
BY placing logs underneath the ma
chine and with the aid Of team of
horses 1t was finallypulled out and the
run to Gallup was made. 1t Is expect
cd that after extensive repairs at Gall
lup the machine will be again ready
for the road and arrive in Albuquer-
que Thursday or Friday barring un-
toward accidents.

Noted Educator Yields
To Msidous Disease
After Stubborn Fight
President Harper, of Chicago, One of Most
Brilliant Scholars Of Day Is Dead.

Chicago Jan. 10.-Dr William Ra-
ney Harper, president of the Univer-
sity Of Chicago sinceits inception, one
of the foremost educators and one of
the most learned Hebrew scholars of
his time, died today of cancer of the
intestines
Three years ago DR. Harper UNDER
went an operation for appendicitis and
symptoms were then discovered which
led the surgeons To suspect that graver
troubles might arise in the future. but
they We're then oe too indefinite q
character to permit of an operation,
and 1t was not until February %, 1905,
that an operation was decided upon
to determine the nature and cause of
severe abdominal pains from which
he had suffered for several months.
Dr. McBurney, of New York the ia
nous specialist in abdominal surgery,
came to Chicago expressly for the OPP
GRAFTON, In which he was assisted by
Doctors Billings and Bevan, of this
city. At the outset Of the operation it
was discovered that DR.. Harper was
suffering from a cancer at the head of
the large intestine, and that the mall

blow and Page then knocked him
down. He fell down in front of the
bar the bartender picked him up and
Jones then went to the toilet room and
washed his face. He returned TO the
bar and took another drink later He
then ordered his grips sent to the
Hinch hotel. The next night he called
n doctor who treated his wounds.
Wednesday erysipelas developed.
Thursday in violation of the doctors
orders he was down town drinking.
Friday he did the same and was In the
barber shop getting a shave when the
first symptoms of lunacy appeared the
barber testifying that he talked inco-
herently and ramblingly While in the
chair He was out on the street Fri
day night The doctors insisted that
he be kept in his room, so the hotel
porter locked him in. He then climb
cd out the window on the one-story
shed roof adjoining. walked over to
the edge and fell eighteen feet to the
frozen sidewalk below. He was car
ried to his room and died "a hours la
ter
There is no doubt that the man
would have had no trouble had he not
been drinking heavily and rambling
about when he should have been in
led.
AS far as the officers are concerned,
not one of the authorities was present
at the trouble in the saloon and hasno
more knowledge of the affair than
anyone else. The sheriff requested
after the inquest that any member OF
the Jury or anyone else who desired,
file a complaint against Page so that
n warrant could issue, which he, the
sheriff, would serve. In declining to
make a complaint himself, Sheriff
Codding declares he did so because he
had no personal knowledge of the
fight.
No complaint whatever was regis
tered. 1t is the public consensus of
opinion that as Page Is one of the
leading citizens of Gallup. and is
man of means, owning good deal of
property there. there is not the remot-
est danger of his leaving the city In
case anyone should wish to enter a
complaint, and he is ready to appear
before the grand jury any time he is
wanted.
"The story that there is deep feeling
against Page because of the affair is
absolutely unfounded" said Mr.. Dob
son. The PEOPLE of Gallup greatly
regret the affair, but are of the opin-
ion, with the coroners jury that
Jones death was due to his own neg
ligence."
In giving his information to the
Morning Journal, Mr.. Dobson said that
the only reason he did so was because
in his opinion the accusations against
Mr. Page were more of q personal or
political nature than otherwise.

Washington, Jan. 10.-After the
routine business had been disposed Of

quest for the names of the high salar-

saying that he was not in sympathy
with it,
Does the senator know how long

Whom Democrats Think Will Stampede

Special to the Morning Journal
Washington, Jan. 0.-Representa-

by Uncle Joe Cannon to round up the
Insurgents and threaten them with
dire things II they do not return to

admitted that there are SO statehood

expected. Should this number stick to

they could pass any sort of statehood

happen, however, Is another question.
The democrats. as a matter Of fact,
have not faith in the insurgents stick

would have been fatal to the patient
a brief consultation Of .the surgeons
resulted I'm the conclusion that there
was nothing more that could be done
by them and that the only hope of
DR. Harper lay in remedial measures
alone. In a short time he left the hos
pltal, knowing well that he was
doomed man, that his disease could
not be cured, and that his death must
ensue within short time. no matter
what was done I'm the effort to avert 1t.
No braver fight was ever made by any
man than by DR.. Harper. He took up
his duties at the university as though
nothing had happened or was likely to
happen to him. and he was at all
times apparently confident and cheer
full
The news that DR.. Harper had ex-
pired was received in the city with
deep sorrow. He was man popular
with men Of business as well as with
men of letters, and all united in prais-
Ing him as a man of remarkable brill
liancy of mind, executive ability and
Kindness of heart.
