Lodge Talk.

The Subordinate Lodge l. o. o. F.
last night conferred the initiatory de-
gree upon three candidates. Past
Grand Patriarch c. L. Elder, of Texas,
who is here visiting his daughter
Mrs. w. A. Johnson, assisted in the
ceremonies, delivering the Past
Grand's charge in a most impressive
manner. To say that his rendering of
the charge was almost perfect will
convey to members of the order at
least an idea of what they missed by
not being in attendance. Under the
head, Good of the Order Mr. Elder
also made a brief talk, referring es-
pecially to the Importance of widows
and orphans homes, telling of the
pride Texas has in the home at Cor
socana, and urging the local lodge
to use all energy in taking advantage
of the opportunity offered them to
secure the location of the New Mexi-
CO Odd Fellows Home in Roswell.
Mr.. Elder thinks the best young men
should all be urged to join some
good order as soon as they are of
age-say the Masons or the Odd Eel
lows or both, and then not join too
many other organizations. 1t will re
come a good Odd Fellow or a thor
ough Mason, and also belonging to
some church should not be neglected
so that no man has time for joining
everything In other words he would
seek workers, not merely "joiners."

ada A message was sent broadcast
over the country asking for the ar
rest of Herring. He is described as
40 to As years old, six feet two inches
tall, weight 275 pounds, stout build.
dark complexion, chestnut hair, dark
brown mustache, light suit He is a
good dresser
1t is learned today that peculation
of the banks funds began before the
year 1901. At the beginning of that
year a shortage of $3.50, 900 is said
to have existed. 1T was also learned
that Theodore Stensland now holds
power of attorney from mis- father.
The son is said to have been further
authorized by Stensland to dispose
of all property, including real estate
belonging to him (the father) in or
der to make good as far as possible
the peculation. Members of the clear
ing house committee expressed the
belief today that both Cashier Her
ring and President Stensland are in
Canada. A rumor today that Theodore
Stensland had also disappeared grew
out of mis- failure to keep an appoint
ment with the police department, and
search for him began Judge Brenta-
no, of the Superior Court, today ap-
pointed John c. Fetzer receiver for
the closed bank. The bill of COM
plant filed in court alleges misman-
agement by the bank officials.
Assistant Chief of Police Shuettler
today personally took charge of the
police guarding the bank. He soon
sent a requisition to Chief Collins for
more policemen. A large number of
additional men were promptly order
ed to the vicinity. A message giving
description of Cashier Herring has
been sent broadcast asking that he
be arrested for embezzlement.
The call for extra police was caus-
ed by the fear that the depositors
and their friends would form at the
bank and cause a riot, when there
were rumors that some of the con-
tents of safety deposit boxes had
been tampered with. Persons with
money in the safety vaults were said
to have found their savings gone 1t
! was later discovered that these ru-
mors originated in a butcher shop
on Marshfield avenue. The proprietor
of the shop said his sister had 5000
in the vaults, and that when she
went to get the money it was gone.
Other stories of alleged tampering
with the contents of the boxes circu-
lated through the crowd and helped
to excite the banks patrons.
Later Assistant Chief of Police
Shuettler with Inspector Shippy and
Examiner Jones went to Justice Sew
erson and asked him to issue war
rant for the arrest of President Stems
land. Justice Severson was not in
clined to issue the writ on the charge
of fraud, but it was said that writ
would be issued later in the day Ex-
aminer Jones reiterated his state
ment that he could give no estimate
of the amount of shortage.

Roswell is to have a new ice COM
pany that will take the old plant of
the Diamond Ice Company. rebuild
it and make ice for nome consumption
and sale up and down the Valley. The
company is to be called The Citizens

as far as possible, of citizens of Ros-
| we'll All this depends on the action
order this morning confirming the
sale of the Diamond Ice Company's
property, returnable Monday, August
13, before Judge Mann, of Alamogordo
when any creditors who may desire,
may appear to show cause, if any
there be, why the sale should not be
made.
Harold Hurd, as receiver for the
Diamond Ice Company, proposes to
sell the plant and assets of the COM
pany to C. D. Thompson, the second
mortgagee for s9,675, which is the
| total amount of secured Indebtedness
against the company. If this sale goes
through it means that the unsecured
creditors will receive nothing. But
this sale is considered the best thing
| the receiver can do, as no one has
| appeared to buy the plant, and the
starting of other ice plants would de-
Lreciate its value If none of the cred
itors stop this sale to Mr.. Thomp on,
new company will be organized i'm
mediately In fact, all preparations for
the new organization are under way.
4 Mr. Thompson and Mr.. Hurd will or
gsnize the company, and although
:, they can get enough outside money
to put the plant on a working basis
they desire to start with all home
4 capital as nearly as possible. They
1 will call upon the citizens for the
1 purpose of getting them to take
stock
The plans for the new plant will
call for new boilers and engine OF
sufficient size to run a thirty-tor
plant, but the capacity will be linn
tied at first to twenty tons, as thai
is ample to supply the market al
present. The plant will be ready tC
put ice on the market by the first O.
the year. The local market and point:
up and down the Valley will be sup
piled at reasonable rates. Stock will
probably be on sale by the first o

ST. PETERSBURG STRIKE is OFF
More Than Half the Factories Resum-
ed Work This Morning.


St. Petersburg, Aug. THE Work
the strike in ST. Petersburg Formal
announcement will be issued tonight
or tomorrow. This action is not to
apply to the provinces, but there is
little doubt the workmen there will
follow st. Petersburg's example.
More than half the factories here
resumed work this morning. While
the employees of some of the estab-
lishments at Moscow are still out pre-
dictions that there would be no org
anized general strike seem fulfilled.
The railroad men, whose cooperation
was vital, could not be induced to
give consent for the strike, owing to
the fear that majority of the men
would not obey the strike order.
While the suppression of meetings
and arrests of leaders were undoubt-
edly a great factor in bringing about
the present situation, it is apparent
that the moment was ill-chosen for
a strike. The people were not in
temper to support it. Consequently
the revolutionary leaders, who really
inspired the movement with the in
tention of transforming it into an
armed uprising, have suffered Sc
we're losses of prestige, and the prole-
tariat organizations through which
they worked have been weakened so
that it is probable they will not re-
cover The government naturally is
greatly rejoiced over it's victory.

ers firms in the city last night esti-
mated the number of strikers here
at 5000 and the total in the country
at 10000, or about two-thirds of the
whole number of men directly asso-
ciated with this branch of the trade
the strikers insist that their only
purpose is to obtain a shorter work
day, but some of the employers say
the real point at issue is the substi-
tuition of the open shop for closed
shop.

The reporter of the Roswell Daily
Record approached G. A. Richardson
yesterday and asked him for his
views and position upon the question
of statehood under the "Jointure
Bill" Mr.. Richardson was reluctant
to express himself as he had believed
until recently that the voters of
Chaves County and of the Territory
of New Mexico knew, that he was
in favor of separate statehood for
New Mexico and for Arizona and op-
posed to the present proposition to
join the two in one state under the
name of Arizona. However, Mr.. Rich
ardson said it seems that the Roswell
Record and some persons not connect
ed with the Record were inclined to
quote him as having abandoned his
former position as opposed to joint
statehood and had climbed into the
Beveridge-Cannon band-wagon. That
being untrue he felt that the misrep-
resentation should not go unchal-
lenged.
In the very early stages of this
contagion, Mr.. Richardson continued,
the germ of which seems to have been
scattered among the people of New
Mexico by that distinguished senator
from Indiana known in the senate as
the senator of attitudes aided by
the distinguished senator from Iowa
known as the "mud-senator," Mr.. Dol
liver, who is now struggling in his
OWL state to secure his reelection to
the senate, and other forces and in
fiuences directed by the President of
to his becoming President pledged
to the people of New Mexico, his un-
tiring efforts, to secure for them and
for their Territory, it's admission to
the sisterhood of states; and, in this
connection we ought not to overlook,
the efforts to destroy our Territory
and force us into an unnoly and un-
willing union with another territory,
of the distinguished speaker of the
house, all of the efforts of whom have
been against the interests of New
Mexico and the people of this Terri
tory, in the matter of statehood.
From the very first 1 criticised the
actions of the Democratic Central
Committe of New Mexico, who, at it's
meeting in Santa Fe some two or
three years ago, passed resolutions,
not in convention of the party, but in
a meeting of committeeman, favoring
the jointure idea. This criticism of
mine the Las Vegas Optic termed
'slunacy," but it was very pleasing to
know that in a few brief months the
Optic was also open to the same
charge and had gotten around after
some instruction as to the rights OF
the people of New Mexico, the best
interests of the Territory, to advocat
ing the very same proposition that
had advocated,-separate statehood
for New Mexico-and in short had be
come somewhat of a ''lunatic'' itself
But / am sorry to say that the Optic
has again changed front and is now
trying to make the people of New
Mexico believe that New Mexico must
be joined with Arizona and the good
citizens of that Territory in order
to make New Mexico sufficiently re
spectacle, to be even a part of Q
great state in the great union oi
states. The aforesaid Optic is no;
the only distinguished journal dishins
out daily this new theory; the New
Mexican at Santa Fe. which started
right on the proposition and made

HELD GUILTY

Kherson, Oct. 3.-Ninety-seven peas
ants were tried here today on the
charge of having devastated the
estate of M. Krivoshein, formerly
minister of railroads. Sixty-three
were sentenced to Imprisonment, and
"a acquitted.
The trial brought out recital OF
horrible atrocities committed by the
authorities upon the accused. The
chief of the district, accompanied BY
a detachment of cossacks, reached the
estate soon after devastation. All
peasants there we're at once gathered
in. No investigation was made. The
chief invited priests to administer the
last sacrament to the prisoners and
then ordered the cossacks to beat
them all to death The butchery con-
tinued four hours Twenty-three
peasants were killed and 1875 multi
ated. The cossacks, then thoroughly
tired out, compelled the peasants to
continue fogging each other, and men
had to beat their own brothers, sons
and fathers. The victims thus slaught-
cred were innocent, those really guilty
having escaped by fight. In spite OF
these revelations, the court found the
sentences as related above.
