QUEER CRUISE IN AN AUTO.
Hymn Singing. Moneyless Fare Ends Night
Tour in Court.

A. Arthur And erson, As years old, of
Bloomsbury, n. j., who says he is a preacher,
was arraigned in the Tombs police court
yesterday morning before Magistrate
Moss on the complaint of Martin Oberge-
fell, a chauffeur Of the Gotham Auto Com
many of 1855 Broadway. Obergefell said
that Anderson refused to pay an auto bill
and then tried to get away.
When questioned by the Court Anderson
became 80 excited and made such remarka-
BILE statements that he was sent to Bellevue
for examination into his mental condition.
Anderson registered at the Cosmopolitan
Hotel ct 129 Chambers street Saturday
night. At 1 O'Clock he appeared in Times
Square with a little man who is thought to
be employed at the Waldorf Astoria. He
hired an auto Of O~bergefell and ordered
him to drive on. First they went to the
Waldorf-Astoria and mailed some letters
and then started UP town.
Soon O~bergefell began to wonder abou !
his passengers, for Anderson commenced to
sing gospel hymns, When they passed st.
Patrick's Cathedral Anderson compelled
off their hats, Shortly after that Anderson
lost his hat, but refused to stop to get it.
Then the chauffeur began to get uneasy,
and at the end of the first hour demanded
his money, 90, and got It.
Surprising then that all was straight,
way they went, around Central Park
twice, up and down Riverside Drive, where
they visited Grants Tomb, then back and
forth through the city streets.
Just keep, going commanded Anderson,
"f you stop I'll walk
He began to sing and quote Scripture
and argue with invisible opponents, and
prophesied that at seven minutes to 8
O'Clock there would be a terrible explosion
and New York would be swallowed up.
Obergefell's hair stood on end. 1t was
getting near the appointed hour and the
east was reddening with the morning light.
and passed and nothing happened. Then
Obergefell again got anxious FOR his money,
The little man had disappeared by this
time.
Where's your money now" Obergefell de.
manded; you've got enough, haven't you?"
Anderson directed him to drive to the
Cosmopolitan Hotel, where he had his money.
Obergefell did so, but no money was there
The next thing was for the chauffeur to
start for his garage with his passenger;
But az he turned at West Broadway and
Chambers street about 6 o'clock, Anderson
leaped out and started or a run, throwing
away his coat, cuffs, collar and tie as he ran,
He went south TO Murray, and then to Broad
way, where O~bergefell caught him. He
was turned over to Policeman Sullivan and
taken to the Leonard street station.
When arraigned' before the Magistrate
he exclaimed, 1.-THE explosion"
What explosion?" demanded the Court.
"The one this morning, answered Ander-
son excitedly.
+Who told you there was going to be an
explosion" demanded Ma gistrate Moss.
1.-THE Lord told me-" cried Anderson.
The Magistrate shook his head,
. "Poor chap" he said. well have to hold
him to examine him as to his sanity"

It is evident from the facts that are already in our possession that we have a subject before us of the highest i'm portance. Pumping for irrigation has been employed in the reclamation of large areas, and there is little doubt but that 1t will form an important factor in the future development of the arid sections of the country.
 In the subsequent general talk. at the close of the lecture, Professor Yer non stated his opinion to be that pumping water for irrigation, in the Albuquerque valley, could be done much more cheaply than it is done in the Mesilla valley, where the col lege agricultural grounds are. First, the water table, from which the flow is pumped, is not so deep by half in the valley here as it is in the valley there Second, because cheap electric power can be carried from the central power station in this city to the val ley above as we'll as to the valley be- low at a rate with which individual power plants of any kind cannot be- gin to compete. Hence, while 1t costs about one cent per 1000 gallons to secure irrigation water in the Mesilla valley, it ought to cost but fraction of that sum to secure water in the valley here This was the most en- couraging feature in the whole discus sion in it's bearing on the future of AlbuquerQue.-Albuqueruqe Citizen.

TO BUILD SHELTER
 IN OLD DISTRICT
WESTINGHOUSE PLANNING BIG OPERATIONS IN VICINITY
 OF MORALES.

George Westinghouse, the noted New York inventor and manufacturer, who is interested in mines and min ing on an extensive scale, is preparing to do some big work in Mexico, just over the line from Nogales, in short time.
 He has about succeeded in consoli- dating all the mines of the old Wash ir.gton group, near there, and it is said that he intends to erect 500- ton smelter and get the active work under way on the mines in a very sbort time.
 It is known that he has recently taken two very able mining engineers on his staff and that he has already bought up considerable of the prop erty.
 Jesse Scoby, a well-known Denver mining and smelter expert, was in
 Sunday en route to the old Washington camp, and it is understood tbat his trip has to do with the West irghouse deal.

PUMPING IS FEASIBLE.

On this point. Professor Vernon on Tuesday evening had this to say at Albuquerque. New Mexico:
 OD Where surface streams are lacking from which to irrigaue. in the absence of such streams, if other conditions are favorable, irrigation by pumping may be undertaken with the full expectation of making it a sue cess. There are many portions of this territory where good water may be found in abundance at a distance of from ten to fifty feet below the sur face of the ground. With a lift not to exceed forty or fifty feet low-lift pumps, which the very economical of power, may be used. A lift of 100 feet need not deter the owuld-be irrigator, but it must be borne in mind that the cost of pumping increases in proper tion to the distance that the water must be lifted. Therefore, the net re- turn must be sufficient to cover the additional outlay.
 Briefly stated, the results obtained on the station farm under the condi- tions of soil, climate. etc, found in that locality, show that the cost of supplying an acre-inch of water with a steam engine. and coal for fuel. is about as follows:

HIGH LICENSE IN TUCSON.
(Tucson Post.)

The high license imposed upon the saloons will give Tucson an additional revenue of about s200.000 a year, al most enough to take care of all the contingent expenses. leaving the annu- al levy to be devoted to improvements. This is the next best thing to bond issue. Improvements can be underta- ken with this money gradually and at some disadvantage, but they will eventually mean a great deal to Tue son. This additional income Is al most four times that received from gambling licenses which was cut of when gambling was banished. The present city administration has a greater revenue at it's disposal than any preceding administration, and should be able to make a most excel lent financial showing.

COTTON SPINNERS HERE.
Are Seeking Information on the Growing
and Handling Of the flcecy Staple
in America.

The six English spinners who
are touring America with the view
of thoroughly acquainting them
selves with American methods of
growing and handling cotton ar
rived in Brownsville yesterday.
The personnel of the party is H.
W. McAlister of Oldham, Eng;
George Moores of Manchester, ~.
J. Orr of Rockdale, Henry P.
Greg of Manchester, Thomas D.
Barlow of Manchester, and G..
Leonard Boiden of Manchester.
Mr.. McAlister is chairman of the
party and Mr.. Moore is secretary.
Accompanying them are; J. R.
Maccoll of Providence, R. l., pre-
cident of the New England cotton
Manufactures Association, and
H. d. Martin, a prominent cotton
man of Paris, Tex.
Speaking of the visitors and the
object of their trip the San Anto-
MO Express says:
Asked if he did not think it
would be wiser from a financial
point of view for English spinners
to invest in lands in Texas, where
it is positively known that cotton
can be grown, than to continue the
experiments of sinking money in
Africa in the endeavor to reclaim
lands and adapt them to cotton
culture, Mr.. McAlister. chairman
of the group, said:
I see only this advantage, that
in this country it is certain that
cotton can be grown, while in some
of the British possessions it is an
experiment. But the English are
not asleep. Like Americans, they
have their eyes open to make
money, whether it be planting cot
ton in Texas or in the British pos
session. We have been Washing
ton and have made inquiry about
your alien laws, and we are going
again. We wish TO know if there
is any difficulty about us holding
the land and upon what conditions
We can hold it. This phase we are
carefully considering.

hour this morning or The TetuFn
