The Musical Feature.
A delightful feature of the evening was
the musical program rendered by the Grid
iron Quartet and the chorus supplied by
other members of the club The Presi-
dents recent trip to Panama was referred
to in a song to the air of HE Walked
Right In and Turned Around" and ran as
follows:
Our President to Panama sailed in a warship big
To see what progress had been made, and watch
the wOrkmen dig
shonts. Stevens, and the rest Of them all got a
But they dropped their shovels spades and picks
the moment he was gone.
He sailed right in and turned around, then sailed
right home again.
His trip the isthmus strip took him only
hours ten.
He asked his questions on the fly and scarcely
He sailed right In and turned around, then sailed
right home again"
There was another verse to Senator Till
man and the rate bill. and then the sing
ers stopped while the president called the
roll of number of distinguished guests
present and asked them to stand up The
names We're called in couples. and the first
pair to respond were E. H. Hartman and
Stuyvesant Fish, the great railroad mag
mates, who are mitter business rivals. They
stood alone facing each other. evidently in
great surprise and wonderment. but express
sion of any other emotion was rendered
impossible by the general laugh which went
around as the significance of this auda-
cious play dawned upon the company. Then
John w. Gates and James Speyer were
made to stand. these two being notably
rivals in the banking and speculative world.
The Russian ambassador and the Japanese
ambassador also arose together. but with
diplomatic smiles and polite bows Then
Strauss and Garfield. Gen Corbin and Will
liam Loeb. and so through the list of a
score of prominent people. When they
were all standing. and wondering what was
going to happen next. the soloist continued
the song:
I'VE greet you gentlemen tonight. and bid you
welcome here.
Where form and dignity are barred by humor and
good cheer.
We cannot hear you all crate or tell your stories
Such happiness would be too great, SO this wen
have you do:
Chorus:
PLEASE all stand up, then turn around and sit
right down again.
It's seldom that we entertain many noted men,
You'll not offend in the least II you are silent
through the feast
Please all stand up. then turn around, and sit
right down again"

So down pumped the distinguished guests
with the proverbial dull thud" amidst the
laughter of the entire company.
Along about fifth drink time a cemmotion
was heard in the ante room and President
Fearn sent out to discover the cause Of
the unseemly noise. Report was made
that a large stout "colored gem'man" was
endeavoring to force his way into the din

SHOT WILDCAT AND QUAIL.
FROM AN AUTOMOBILE.

Governor H. J. Hagerman writes
that he enjoyed his trip from Ros
well to Torrance very much, taken
over the Roswell Automobile Compa~
ny's route after mis- recent visit here
at election time. On the way to Tor
rance he and Attorney General Reid
had little hunting party, planned
and arranged for them by Mayor
Stockard, who is manager of the auto
company While on this hunt the gov
ernor was fortunate enough to come
upon wildcat and a covey of quail
while in the car and to shoot them
from the seat of the machine. 1t is
not often that kind of game can be
hunted in an automobile. But in
building the automobile road Mana
ger Stockaru never tried to go around
the wildcats or anything else. He
went straight through.

POLICEMEN TO PROTECT
SENATOR TILLMAN

Chicago, Nov. 27.-Mayor Dunno
today announced that he would detail
a number of policemen in plain
clothes to mingle with the throng at
the lecture of Senator Tillman to-
night and see that no violence or in
suit is offered the Senator. Among
the number were several negro police
men, who were selected because of
teheir acquaintance with negro pop
ulation of Chicago. A number of ne
groes today sought the advice of law
yers regarding the procuring of an
injunction restraining Senator Till
man from delivering his lecture.
They were informed that the chances
were against it, and that even if
successful would result in embitter-
ing racial feeling.

INVESTIGATING DISCHARGE
OF NEGRO TROOPS.

El Reno. o. T., Nov. 27.-Gilchrist
Stewart, eolored, who has been al
Ft. Reno the past few days securing
data to be placed in evidence before
President Roosevelt in the maj =.
of discharging the negro soliieHs Q.
the 25th infantry, today said: IT,
substance of the investigation, sup
ported by over one hundred affidavits
from members and non-commissioned
officers of the companies and from
the statements of officers, amounts
to this: First that the citizens did
not want the negro soldiers in
Brownsville, Texas; second, that
this feeling became so intense that
on the very first night in question.
Major Penrose issued orders and sent
out patrols through the town to see
that all men should be in by eight
O'Clock, whether on a pass or not
and Captain Mackin, officer of the
day, reported that all the men were
in, except three on pass; third, that
the firing that night was of mixed
arms. All the inspectors sent out
from the war department have start
ed out with the assumption that
there was a conspiracy among the
men to keep back the truth. They
never made an investigation of the
real facts. From the investigation
there was undoubtedly conspiracy
to make a case against the soldiers
and get them out of town. Six ser
geants of long service, and in whom
the commissioned officers have i'm
plicit confidence, are going to Wash
ington with me to act as witnesses
before President Roosevelt"
Washington, D. c., Nov. 27.-The

panies of the 25th infantry who were
without honor because of
the trouble at Brownsville, came be-
fore President Roosevelt today,
when Charles w. Anderson, collector
of internal revenue, and Emmett J.
Scott, secretary to Booker T. Wash
ington, called in behalf of the dis
charged men. They made an earnest
argument in behalf of the discharged
men.

ALBUQUERQUE WANTS
AUTOMOBILE ROUTE.

For several months the Commercial
Albuquerque have been working to
the end of getting an automobile
route out of their town to Torrance,
where it would connect with the
Roswell-Torrance auto line, and thus
make the automobile connection be-
plete. These promoters look to Ros-
wells mayor, James w. Stockard, to
push the proposition to a successful
consummation. The matter has been
kept out of the papers for some time,
for business reasons, but at last it
has been made public at Albuquerque
as well as in Roswell.
The Albuquerque men propose to
start the line with either a stock
company or with an out-and-out bo-
nus to Mr.. Stockard. Several plans
nave been suggested, but not definite
ly decided upon.
The proposed route would be about
118 miles long. Out of Torrance, it
would parallel the Santa Fe Central
railroad for As miles to Estancia,
little more sandy than the Roswell
Torrance route. The route would then
cross the Santa Fe Central and there
go up the steepest grade of the en-
tire course, through rugged, partly
'timbered country for distance of
I To Ta%n fnf
which place it would skirt the foot
hills on the south to within twenty
miles of Albuquerque, where it must
pass through long, deep canyon,
and then on about ten miles to the
northern terminal.
Only one bridge would have to be
built on the entire route. That would
be in the canyon near Albuquerque.
1t would be of a necessity a very
very high bridge, to avoid the high
water, and would have to be about
one hundred feet in length. the fact
that a sawmill is near makes that
problem easy to solve.
Manager Stockard states that he
can construct the road at a cost of
only $4,000. The road would then be
in good condition, but would require
additional expenditures as it was
worn by use and weather.
There would be four postoffices on
the route, two of them being Water
Point and Chililio. The four towns
range in size from $50 to 500 inhab-
itants. They are now supplied by
mail stages out of Albuquerque.
1t would take three good cars to
start the service.
The Santa Fe Genital would oppose
the building of an automobile line
parallel to their road between Tor
rance and Estancia, but the CONNER
cial Club at Albuquerque could off
set any opposition the railroad might
put up The Commercial Club there
is greatly interested in the auto
route, as well as all the people in
that town, Santa Fe, and other cen
trail New Mexico cities. When Mana
ger Stockard was at Albuquerque
last summer meeting of the Com
mercial Club to discuss this question
of new ronte brought out hund-
red men. all prominent and among
the first business men of the city.
