St Mary's Hospital was thrown open
for a public reception, Sunday after
noon from one to five O'Clock, and in
spite of the not weather hundreds OF
Roswell people visited the institution
and were shown the interior arrange
ments and furniture of this magnifi-
cent structure Besides Mother Boni-
face of Wisconsin, who has been here
for some time experimenting the con
struction and furnishing of the hos
pital there were nine Sisters present
at the reception. The Sisters were
assisted by a number of the ladies of
the city in serving refreshments and
showing the visitors over the building
Sister NJ Boniface will go to other
fields of labor. and Sister NJ. Bonaven
tura will be left in charge of the hos
pital with eight sisters under her di-
rection as superior.
Only the main building of the hos
pital is completed. Wings and spec
ial department for tuberculosis pa
tients are to be added in the future.
1t was deemed impracticable to divide
the present building so as to receive
tuberculosis patients, who must be
kept entirely separate from other pa
tients to avoid contagion. The main
building will be used as a general nos
pital for the care of all cases except
consumption or infectious ailments.
Sister Boniface expressed regret that
the hospital was unable to care for
tuberculosis patients, as already ap-
plications have been received from
Eastern and Northern States as well
as from patients now tenting and liv-
ing as best they can without special
accommodations in Roswell. The i'm
mediate building of the Tent City by
local physicians, however, will soon
afford relief in this direction.
There are still some rooms and
wards of the hospital to be furnished
and such as may not be furnished by
friends of the cause and local organ
izations of various kinds will be fur
nished by the Sisters of the Sorrow
full Mother The Sisters have already
furnished some of the wards and
rooms completely and others partial
ly, and four patients occupied beds
in the hospital yesterday.
OF all the rooms that have been
mentioned as being furnished by local
parties the Roswell clerks were gen
orally given credit by the visitors
with having the most attractive fur
niture The clerks sent flowers for
the special occasion which helped to
render the room attractive This
room is on the third floor, southeast
corner Opposite is the room furnish
ed by Mrs. John w. Poe. This room
also is richly and elegantly furnish
ed The furnishing of the ward by
the Woman's club was not yet com
pleted. 1t has four beds, and when
the finishing touches of the .wo-
mans taste and thoughtfulness are
supplied it will very likely surpass
them all.

Mr.. Bryan had been moving so rap
idly since he left Vienna on Friday
that letters and kilograms did not
reach him until today. AS far as the
possible nomination is concerned he
said little, declaring that it was too
taking up the subject of political
questions, he said that before he left
home he had tried to distinguish be-
tween Democracy and Socialism. The
Democratic party, ne said, recognizes
competition as legitimate, while So
cialism sees competition as an evil
to be eliminated by public ownership
and operation of all the means of
production and distribution. while
this distinction between Socialism
and Democracy should not be over
looked he continued, ''The Demo
cratic platform must be one of prog
ress and reform and not merely a
declaration of opposition to Republi-
can policies or Socialistic ideas In
our fight for the absolute elimina-
tion of private monopolies and the
regulation of corporations it is nee
essary that our party be free from
any suspicion of alliance with corpo
rate interests that have dominated
American politics. To this end cam
paign contributions must be limited

Mr.. Bryan will leave for St. Peters
burg tomorrow. He will visit Norway

struck at depth of 1928 feet at 4
O'Clock this morning. The drillers
will only work now during the day
for fear that the rig will be burned
up at night. Mr. Garfield is of the
opinion that if a big puff of gas should
shoot from the well at night the der

there are numerous lights hanging

An Important Oil Deal
BY far the most important deal yet
closed in the local oil field was clos
ed this afternoon between Isaac Can
field. L. B. Tannehin and associates
and Clifton Chisholm and E L. Be
dell. whereby a quarter section of
land within less than half a mile
ed passes into possession of Messrs.
Chisholm and Bedel1.
The purchase price has not yet
been given out, but we are reliably
informed that it is above the $4,000
mark. 1t is the intention of these
gentlemen to organize an oil compa-
ny and commence active work as
soon as the big we'll is brought in,
AS this land was originally located
by Mr.. Isaac Garfield, the great oil
expert who also agrees TO locate the
site for the new well, and with Mr..
Chisholm and Mr. Beden behind the
company, it is predicted that this
will be one of the first companies to
commence active work in the new
field.

action of the committee in declaring
by majority vote that Reed Smoot is
not entitled to seat in the senate
| The majority report is signed by Bur
rows, Dolliver, Dubois, Pettus, Bal
| ley, Overman and Frazier.
The report says that Smoot is one
of a selfperpetuating body known
as the first presidency and twelve
apostles of the Church of Jesus
Christ Latter Day Saints, and that
these men have authority over the
members of the church in temporal
as well as spiritual things. Among
other matters it is charged that the
body encourages polygamy. which is
contrary to the U. S. constitution, and
that it also controls the political af-
fairs of the state, so that Smoot is
not a representative of the state, but
comes to the senate as the chief of
the hierarchy which controls t he
church The report names a dozen
apostles, former apostles and other
prominent Mormons, who, according
to testimony, have taken plural
wives since the manifesto of 1890
The report characterizes as wholly
untenable' the position that because
Smoot himself does not practice po-
lV0amV and that tbarp ic M avidonco
to show that he personally encour-
ages the practice in others, he ought
not to be condemned because of the
acts of his associates In the judg-
ment of the majority, Smoot is no
more entitled to a seat in the senate
than he would be if he were aSsocia-
ting in polygamous coha bitation with
plurality of wives. The final chap
ter of the report is devoted to the
oath of vengeance. 1t says there is
no doubt that Smoot took the oath.

On paved streets, particularly of late,

Special to The Herald.

special TO The Herald.
WASHINGTON Nov. 16 The de-
partment of agriculture Is seeking a
plan by which the farmer may cheaply
make his own denatured alcohol for
light and fuel DR.. Galloway, chief of
the bureau of planl industry, under
direction Of Secretary Wilson, has sent
agents to study the big potato that Is
grown in many sections of the conti-
nent and arrange for securing seed
and transplantlng it in this country.
This potato has small value for edible
purposes, but is several times as large
as the one commonly.seen In this ooun-
try. From an acre of ground It Is
claimed enough of them can be pro-
duoed to make 500 gallons of alcohol,
which means light, heat and power for
farm household for a year.
This potato Is to be developed and
aeclimated for the different sections Of
the United States as soon as possible
After the alcohol is taken from it, the
residue is still useful for feeding live
stock. Secretary Wilson and DR.. Gal
loway anticipate that in n few years
1t VIII constitute one of the most use
ful and valuable crops.
The department has completed al
rangements with a big establishment
in the west for the use of 10000 tons of
Its refuse-cornstalks, husks, tops and
ends of beets, cobs, etc.-to be devoted
to systematic experiments in the re-
duction of alcohol. 1t is we'll known
that there is plenty of alcohol in all
these things The proposition is to find
whether 1t can be taken out at q rea-
cost.

SAY SUPERVISORS
EXCEEDED POWER
DISTRICT ATTORNEY CANNOT
BE REMOVED
San Francisco Grand Jury Resumes Its
Investigation Into Alleged
Municipal Graft
Charges
BY Associated Pre- IS.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.-No in
dictments were returned today by the
grand jury, which resumed it's investi-
cation into alleged municipal graft
this afternoon and remained in session
until $3.50 tonight, when an adjourn
ment was taken to 10 o'clock next
Tuesday morning.
1t is understood that the inquisitorial
body devoted it's time today to probing
into the charge that extortion was
practiced in the case of the Belvedere
resort which flourished on O'Farrell
street before the fire.
Among those examined by the grand
jury today were Myrtle Cert, said to
have been a director in the Belvedere
and who, it is generally regarded, was
Ruef's representative in the director
ate. Cert was also secretary of the
preceding grand jury. Others who en-
tered the grand jury room during the
afternoon and remained there for some
time were Moses Cohen and Marcus
Rosenthal, said to be secretary and at
torney for the Belvedere, o. F. and
]. A. Holmes, formerly furniture deal
ers, were also questioned.
Among the developments of the day
was the decision of Superior Judge
Seawell that the mayor and board of
supervisors have no power to remove
the district attorney and the restitution
of the missing $10S5 contributed by the
citizens of Searchlight Nevada, to the
relief fund, but which was never re-
ceived by the relief committee.
1t is denied by the officials of the
Wells, Fargo Express company that
they hold Mayor Schmitz's receipt for
the money package. Manager Christ
ensen stated that the package contain
ing the money was traced to Oakland
and there all trace of it was lost.
AS the package was lost while in
transit the express company was re-
sponsible and made good the amount.
In view Of the fact that charges have
been made against the police depart
ment for alleged maladministration of
the relief funds contributed by the po-
lice departments of the various cities
Chief of Police Dinan today gave out
an itemized statement of the amounts
received and the purposes for which
they We're used According to the state
ment the police department received
$9.SSS instead of $4,000, as has been
claimed
