ATTORNEY FERGUSON RE.
TURNS FROM WHITE OAKS

Attorney II. b. Ferguson has re-
turned from White Oaks. where he
went a week ago on professional
and mining business.
Il was just over to start up the Old
Abe Lincoln mine. It's the biggest
mine in the country, and We are going
to sink it deeper We let a contract
for 200 feet more work." said Mr..
FERGUSON this afternoon, in telling
Of his business trip to White Oaks.
The Old Abe Lincoln mine is one
Of the oldest gold mines in New Mex
leo. and more ore has been taken from
it than any other mine in the terri
tory. The first thirteen months 1t was
worked, it paid its owners, three at
torneys, one of whom was Mr. Fer
gusson, a dividend of 100000. The
mine was shut down a few years ago
on account of the owners being afraid
TO go deeper for fear of encOunterine
more water than could be handled.

Washington, D. c., June 6.-The
house committee on agriculture today
decided to comply with the request OF
the Chicago packers to be heard on
the Neill- Reynolds report, regarding
conditions in the Chicago packing
houses. The request was made by T..
H. Wilson, manager of the Morris
Packing company, who said he was
authorized TO speak for all the pack
ers.
The hearing began shortly before
noon. Wilson made general denial
of conditions as set forth in the Neill-
Reynolds report. He invited the COM
mittee to go to Chicago and spend a
week in personal investigation of the
conditions. Some suggestions made
in the report, he said, such as addi-
Itional sanitary facilities, had already
been complied with.
Brazen Impudence Magnitudinous.
Wilson said that the packers did not
object to government regulation OF
sanitary conditions, but they did OBJ
ject to the secretary of agricultural

asserted that so strong has been the
influence of Penrose that Weaver
will not even be able to obtain a ma
jority of the Philadelphia delegation.
The Penrose men boldly assert that
Weaver Is impossible as a candidate,
and has not the slightest show to be
nominated. 1t was expected that
Weaver would receive the unanimous
support of the new Lincoln party, but
strong faction in that party Is op-
posed to Weaver. and favors either
former Senator Lewis Emery, Jr, or
Mexican.
One of the strongest possible can
uidates is said to Representative Err
nest f. Acheson. who for twelve years
has represented the cath district of
Pennsylvania in the house. He Is a
strong man. has a clean record, and
seems to be the most likely man to
be selected as a compromise candi-
date. Many of the young republicans
advocate the nomination of former
Mayor Edwin y. Stuart, but it Is
doubtful whether he will have strength
enough throughout the state to com
mand the support of the western dele
gates. Besides these. there are sew
eral other candidates for the guberna-
torial nomination, among them former
Lieutenant Governor Louis A. Watres
of Scranton, and Robert S. Murphy
of Johnstown. Both have Deen work.
ing quietly in support of their own
| booms, and are said to be sure of
several delegations. II is well known
that Penrose desires the nomination
of Congressman Charles w. Stone. but
it is pretty safe to say that nc man
openly favored by Penrose has the
ghost of chance in this convention.
Senator p. S. Knox has been men,
! toned as possible candidate, but
even his stauncheat friends have no
! hopes of his nomination. The field
/ is practically open to any man, and at
present it is impossible to foreshadow
! the result of tie vote.
Major Isaac b. Brown, the present
| incumbent, seems to be the most
promising candidate for secretary of
internal affairs. He has shown con-
siderable strength at the time of his
election for the first term, and there
is no other candidate in the political
field whose strength can equal that OF
/ Secretary Brown. His record Is clean
and he has many friends throughout
the state.
Robert S. Murphy. of Cambria
county, was nominated for lieutenant
/ governor.

New York, June G.--To Upton Sin
clair. a mere boy in years, and ap-
pearance, is given the credit for the
swift legislative action at Washington
which followed President Roosevelts
confirmation of the grewsome expos
ure of the meat packing industry Of
Chicago.
1t was after the president had read
the now famous novel, The Jungle,
in which Sinclair told in thrilling mar
rative the horrors of Packingtown,
that the young novelist and self-con-
fessed muck raker" was summoned
to the White House to repeat person
ally the charges he made in his book.
The president, it is said, had lost
his appetite for meat and was con-
vinced that If Sinclair's charges were
true he had taken the cover from
one of the greatest public evils.

Who Are to Attend Ceremonial
Session in Roswell on
the l4th of June.
TWENTY ALBUQUERQUEANS TO GO

The Record is getting out some
rather suggestive folders for the
Shriners' parade committee, and judg-
ing from the program, "the boys" and
some of them Old boys, will think
there is something doing on June IA.
The parade will be public, and the
Novices, in regalia, will be mounted
on camels, or substitutes. The time
and route will be given later. The de-
grees will be conferred at the Mill
tary hall. We understand that Col.
Wilson is making great preparations
for the ceremonies. A car load of
Pecos river sand has been shipped in
from the stock yards, a wagon load
of cactus gathered, and other desert
luXuries indicative of warm time for
the candidates. It is reported that
there will be sixty of them and about
100 Shriners present. There viii be a
banquet at the close and an eXcur-
sion to Carlsbad and return on the
15th.-Roswell Record.

holdings were only a small portion
of the gifts received. In his capacity
as purchaser of the fuel coal for the
railroad, he received from five compa-
nies three to five cents per ton. From
the latter part of 1903 to date, he had
received more than $4,000 He be-
lieved that money had been paid in

WAS CALLED TO ORDER BY
OUR DELEGATE BROTHER.

The republican state convention,
which was called to order at
the opera house this forenoon, by w.
X. Andrews, chairman of the republic
an state central committee, is the
first one to be held in this state for
many years, that is not under the di-
rect control of the republican ma
chine. It's defeat at the last election
has practically shattered the con-
trolling power of the republican ma
chine, and, so far as is known, the
convention held here today is free
from dictaticn and can do as it sees
fit.
Senator Knox, who was made perm
anent chairman, in his address dealt
almost exclusively with national pollt-
ical questions and the position which
the republican party is taking con
corning them. The morning session
of the convention was devoted almost
altogether to routine matters. the
selection of committees and consider
alton of committee reports. The real
battle will not begin until after lunch

Never was the situation in a re
publican state convention in this state
more peculiar and unsettled than In
this case. The convention has the
task to nominate candidates for gov
ernor, lieutenant governor, auditor
general and secretary of internal af
fairs. There is no lack of candidates
for the gubernatorial nomination, but
| there does not seem to be a single
candidate upon whom the various fac
tions in the party seem to be likely
to unite. Some time ago, when the
Weaver candidacy was first broached
1t seemed that it might be walk oveI
for Mayor Weaver of Philadelphia
who has done such noble work IL
overthrowing the corrupt machine
Since then, however, the machine ele
ment, guided and directed by Senator
Penrose, has been active, and it Il
