DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
DESERTION AND ABSENCE.

Washington. ID. c., Jan. II. - The
military authorities in New York and
other places continue to have trouble
with deserters, whom they desire to
regard in no such light, principally
that the government may be saved the
expense of paying rewards and 10
avoid the responsibility of making dis
bursements OF this sort. There has
always been more or less trouble in
determining between absence without
leave and desertion, in a case where
the culprit has been captured and re-
turned for trial. One of the latest
cases to engage the attention of the
War Department is that of Private
r. f. McDuffie, of the 4Sth Company
of Coast Artillery, who tried TO get
away from Fort Wadsworth n. Y,
and who was captured at Harrisburg.
Pa, on a train going westward. The
Fort Wadsworth court merely fined
McDuffie S. for absence without leave
but General Grant disapproved the
sentence, on the ground that McDufle
was guilty OF desertion.

INote-The verdict of the coroners
jury, published in full above and ex-
clusively in this paper, proves the cor
rectness of the special dispatches re-
ceived from Gallup anent this unfor-
tunate, deplorable affair, and which re-
ceived publicity in these columns. The
Evening Citizen has no inclination, for
social, political or any other reason,
to do Mr.. Page an injustice, and this
paper surely did not mlsrepresent
facts when the coroner's jury, after
investigating into the killing of Wal
ter H. Jones, says THE DECEASED
CAME TO HIS DEATH INDIRECTLY
BY AN ASSAULT AND BLOWS
FROM ONE GREGORY PAGE, AND
FROM COMPLICATIONS ARISING
FROM SUCH BLOWS, ETC"
The Citizen thinks, as every law
abiding citizen in New Mexico does,
and especially those Of Gallup and
Mckinley county, that Mr., Page is
just as amenable to the laws as any
other man who transgresses these
laws by committing a crime such as
the coroner's jury has found against
Mr.. Page, and the officials of McKin-
ley county would be violating their
oaths in this respect if they refuse
to act, officially, in this matter.

AN AMERICAN
HERO RECALLED
Anniversary Of Alexander
HamiItOn'S Birth Gel
ebrated Today.
STOOD HIGH IN COUNCIL
Noted Especially in Forming
the Financial Scheme OF
Our Country.
STOOD HIGH IN COUNCIL
HIS NOlED HOME STILL STANDS

New York, Jan. 11.-Todsy is the
anniversary of the birth of Alexander
Hamilton, one of the trainers of the
Constitution Of the United States, and
patriotic organizations throughout the
cauntry will celebrate the event by
memorial meetings, banquets and in
other ways. The name of Alexander
Hamilton is one of those ipedlibly en-
graved upon the pages of this coun-
try's history. He was born in the
West Indies on January IL, 1867, and
was still a comparatively young man,
when he became closely identified with
some of the most important events
of that eventfl period of this countrys
history. His was one OF the master
minds of the epoch which developed
our constitutional government. To
his brilliant and far seeing brain the
country owes its financial system
During the period of the war and the
subsequent dark years, Hamilton was
one of the pillars of strength. His
versatility was only equalled by the
strength OF his grasp of matters which
concerned the colonies.
During one OF the most peaceful
periods of his eventful and stormy
life, in the year 1900, Hamilton built
himself a fine mansion, in what was
then the suburbs of New York, but is
now traversed by 143rd street and
Convent avenue. He built the house
out of timber presented by General
Phil Schuyler and cut from the gen.
erals land at the headwaters of the
Hudson River. There the house stood
for over 100 years, withstanding the
destructive effects of time and cli-
mate. A few years ago the Board Of
Aldermen of Washington Heights, as
that district Is called, decided to ex-
tend 143rd street. and the Grange"
as Hamilton's mansion wta called.
would have to be torn down. to make
room for the street, had not a though.
full real estate man purchased the
ground and house and prevented the
cutting through of the street He
moved the house far enough toward
the center of the block TO permit the
cutting through of the street, and
later he moved the house again a
block further south, to a site adjoin-
ing st. Luke's Church, to make room
for a row of modern apartments which
were built upon the land formerly sur
rounding the Grange" and since then
an effort has been made to preserve
the Grange" as a national memorial
and to create a small park around it.

STATE ACTION SOUGHT
AGAINST FIRE TRAPS
Special to The Citizen:

Special to The Citizen:
Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 11.--Promoters of
the movement to secure state building
laws are greatly encouraged by the
favorable reception of their plan. The
International Society of Building In
spectors are the official sponsors of a
bill under the caption of State Fire
Protection" which will be presented
in every state legislature this year.
The main object souht is to have the
state fix fundamental building regu-
lGtlons, prescribing minimum precau-
tions against fire, and so to form a
sale foundation upon which cities will
be left free to erect complete building
codes.
For hotels, warehouses, churches
and other structures intended for
special purposes the Building Inspec-
tors bill lays down certain specific
rules In regard to the form OF con
structlon that must be adopted with
a view TO protection against fire In
respect to buildings OF absolutely
fireproof construction" the bin re
quires that walls. roof and all exposed
structural parts be of fire and water
proof material, and that the steel
frames be protected with at least two
inches of brick, hollow tile. or con.

DOBSON GIVES HIS
VERSION OF THE AFFAIR

According to a morning paper, e. w.
Dobson, of this city, who is Pages
legal adviser in the above matter, and
who yesterday returned from the city
in which the death of Jones occurred,
his client has been misrepresented.
Attorney Dobson stated that Page
merely assaulted Jones with his fists,
but reports from Gallup state that a
chair was used in the assault, and as
the coroner's jury specifically state
that Jones came to his death from an
assault and blows delivered by one
Gregory Page, il would certainly seem
that some harder substance than mere
fists were used.
Mr.. Dobson also stated that the cor
oner's verdict was incorrectly quoted,
but the above coroner's jury verdict
Is most certainly NOT misquoted, and
is taken from the court records.
Attorney Dobson's version of the
affair, as stated, is as follows:
Jones went to the Page hotel and
engaged a room He made an insult
ing remark TO an 1Syear- girl
employed at the hotel and later to
Mrs. Page. Mr.. Page was down town
at the time. Upon his return, an hour
later, the incident was reported to
him and he met Jones in the barroom.
No one else was present but Bar
tender Christman. Page asked Jones
ii he was the man who had made the
insulting remark regarding the char
acter of the house. Jones said he was,
but did not mean anything by it.
We'll, you made a mistake said Page,
and struck the man with his fist.
Jones returned the blow and Page
knocked him down. He fell down in
front cf the bar The bartender picked
him up and Jones went to the toilet
room and washed his face. He then
ordered his grips sent to the Hinch
hotel. The next night he called
doctor, who treated his wounds. We'd
nesday erysipelas developed Thurs
day, in violation of the doctors orders
he was down town drinking. Friday
he did the same and was in the bar
ber shop getting a shave when the
first symptoms of lunacy appeared,
the barber testifying that he talked
incoherently and ramblingly while in
the chair. He was out on the street
Friday night. The doctors insisted
that he be kept in his room, so the
hotel porter locked him in. He then
climbed out the window on the one
story shed roof adjoining, walked over
to the edge and fell eighteen feet to
the frozen sidewalk below. He was
carried to his room and died twenty
four hours later"

RECIPROCITY EFFECTED
WITH SWISS FEDERATION.

Bern, Switzerland, Jan. 11.-There
is great rejoicing throughout the
Swiss Federation over the proclama-
tion of President Roosevelt, comforting
upon imports from Switzerland to the
United States Of crude tartar, still
wines, vermouth, brandies and works
Of art the reductions provided for in
Section of the Dingley Act. The
new arrangement is the result of ne
gotiations for a reciprocity convention
between the United States and Switz-
erland, and its granting was preceded
by the voluntary announcement of the
Swiss government to extend the favor
ed nation treatment to American i'm
ports. without, at the same time, pre-
ferring any request whatever for a
return of similar preferences on the
part OF the American government. 1t
is believed that this new arrangement
will be of the greatest benefit to the
Swiss industries.

is alleged, by Mr.. Page. But
as Mr.. Page is the political boss
of this county. and therefore able
to use his influence, he has not as yet
been arrested, although II has been
two days since the verdict was rem
dered.
The general public does not strong
ly desire TO see Mr.. Page punished,
but the fact that political influence is
being used to pervert the law does en-
rage them and is liable to make it
much harder for Mr.. Page than it
would have been had he given himself
up in the first place.
The law is very clear In such cases,
as it states that 1t is the duty of the
justice of the peace, who officiates at
coroner's juries, to issue warrants for
arrest, and let him or her be found
guilty or not guilty, by due process
of law
