SAN FRANCISCO BANKS OPEN.
Expected Rush for Money Did Not
Materiaiize.

San Francisco, Cal, May 22-The
commercial banks opened for busi-
ness yesterday, but the expected rush
for money did not materiaiize. More
money was deposited than withdrawn
That absolute confidence reigns in
banking circles here was made evi-
dent today when the several savings
institutions announced that they
would open their doors for business
tomorrow morning. This announce
ment came in the nature of a mild
surprise, for it had been agreed taau
the savings institutions would open
their doors next Monday. Many of
the savings institutions which will
resume tomorrow instead of Monday
have as reason the public good as
well as financial policy to thus dem
onstrate their stability.

THIRTEEN INNINGS
After the First inning a Fine Game
Was Played.-Hester and Gallegos
Again Pitted Against Each Other,
and Hester Wins Out.

With the score against them in the
first inning to the tune of three to
one. the Cadets played a fine uphill
game yesterday, and after tieing AL
buquerque in the fifth inning won
out by a run in the thirteenth.
The game was beyond all doubt
the most exciting ever seen in Ros-
well. There was not dull moment
from start to finish, and the game
kept the spectators on edge for the
entire thirteen innings.
Hester, for the Cadets, and Gale
gos, for the Browns" both pitched
gilt-edge ball, and the hits were not
many for so long a game. Both
pitchers batted hard and fielded well,
and undoubtedly carried off the hon
ors for their respective sides. Ken
nard, Audrain and Stewart deserve
especial mention for their fine work
for the Cadets, and Neher and Kunz
each played a star game for Albu-
querque.
The first inning was full of woe
for the Cadets, who took the bat at
the start Kennard went out at first
on a scratch Brazil loomed up with
the first score of the game, a home
run. Overlook went out at first, and
Hester on stepping to the bat was
heartily cheered. He responded with
a pretty single. Hart got a hit, Hes
ter going to third. Stewart went out
at first on scratch.
Albuquerque did things in her nalf
of the inning. Kunz got two bases
on a long and difficult drive to Stew
art, who missed it. Corhan scratched
| out one and got safely to first, KunZ
going to third short drive to Over
| lock by Neher was badly handled,
| out. Gallegos got a short drive, and
| through slow work of the Cadets
| Kunz and Corhan came in, Neher
percning on third and Gallegos on
| first Clancey drove one down to
Audrain. who failed to connect with
with Gallegos on second and Clancy
| on first. McHugh drove one to Ken
nard, who touched out Gallegos and
| got the ball to first in time for a
double. Score, Browns three to Ca
diets one.
In the second and third both sides
drew goose-eggs: but in the Cadets
half of the fourth, Hester walked to
/ first, Jaffa Miller tnen running for
him. Hart went out on high foul

EDITOR ROSWELL RECORD AND
CITIZENS OF ROSWELL:
We fear the recent deliberations of
the Grand Jury in Roswell have plac
ed us before the people of the Pecos
Valley in an improper light. The in
dictment for discrimination on wool
storage charges is absolutely without
foundation, as will be shown at the
proper time and place, and there is
nothing in the case to give us mo-
ment's annoyance. We seriously OBJ
ject, however. TO being advertised a.
home and abroad as a law-breaking
Institution. when our. only thought
was to aid the citizens of Roswell in
attracting business to their town
and money to the men. women and
children dependent for their liveli-
hood on the trade of the city.
There can be no progress without
cooperation, and the action of your
jurymen indicates the utter lack of
that important requisite.
1t is not very encouraging to rail-
way company to build up and develop
Industries along it's line of road in
the face of such opposition. We un-
derstand that the action referred to
does not meet the approval of the
representative business men of your
community, who readily see the in
Justice of it; but our desire for CO.
operation is on the part of all of your
people. regardless of politics or pre-.
judice We feel that we are especial
ly favored in being allowed to serve
your fiourishing Valley with our line.
We appreciate and fully realize that
our interests are mutual, but it is
evident that some of your citizens
do NOT understand the situation.
Whatever is to the best interests of
your growing country from a trans
portation standpoint is also to the
best interests of our line, and the
reverse of this should likewise be
true
With regard to the recommendation
of the jury to the Interstate Com
merce Commission that they investi-
gate the alleged excessive rates in
your section, will say that we do not
believe this is a proper way to pro-
ceed The Interstate Commerce Com
mission is organized for the purpose
of bringing about SO far as may be
possible, an equalization of transpor-
tation rates as between localities
and individuals, and taey have their
hands full of complaints which ante
date yours. If the rates are excessive
your people should suffer until the
Interstate Commerce Commission can
come TO your relief While we are
glad to have the assistance of that
honorable body in considering the
question. we beg to suggest the ad-
visibility of first presenting your
statement of grievances to this of.
nee Il viii give us great pleasure
to carefully investigate the complaint
of every shipper. large or small. and

THE WALSH CASE.

The letter OF Charles A. Walsh. of
Iowa. resigning his membership of the
national Democratic committee, is
suggestive, If not important.
Mr.. Walsh is a follower of Mr..
Hearst. He is man OF strong convic-
tions. of thorough integrity and cour-
age. II what we may call the concrete
reasons for his act-that is. the per-
sonality and political complexion of
the campaign management in 1905
constituted all, or the more essentia.
part of Mr.. Walsh's alienation. we
might dismiss II as true in the maia,
but insufficient. Each tub must stand
on its own bottom. The men who
gathered about Judge Parker in 1904
are not likely to gather about Mr..
Bryan in 1908. We must look further
for Mr.. Walsh's real motive and pur-
pose.
The Independence League, an organ
ization created by the newspapers and
the money of Mr.. Hearst, and meant
to minister to the ambitions or to adj
vance the Observation-Disclosures way we
may choose to consider it-of the
omnipresent yet Invisible editor, claims
an enrolled membership of more than
million voters. Its bone and sinew
are the labor unions. In case the DEM
ocrats put up a nominee for governor
OF New York this fall other than Mr..
Hearst, we shall see Its actual and ex-
act strength, for Mr. Hearst is already
In the fed as its can date for gov
ernor. He means, and 1t means, and
Mr.. Walsh means. a New Party.
This New Party will be satisfied
with nothing short of line of policies
totally destructive of existing condi-
tons. With each step OF progression
taken by either of the Old Parties the
New Party takes stride. II seeks
aftrmatively to represent the discon-
tents OF the time. II Mr.. Bryan
Thought to placate it by touching upon
Government Ownership-which is one
or It's hobbies-he wiz find himself
mistaken; because no sooner shall
'Mr. Bryan appear as the presidential
nominee of any responsible body of
men than the Independence League
VIII consider him a traitor to the
cause OF hnman rights. To go the
whole hog or none Is alone It's motto
and requirement, and as Mr.. Hearst
not only fills the bill. but has ban y

but Mr.. Hearst need apply. Courier

Stensland squandered over $1,000. :
600 in Chicago real estate and then
cit out" with measly 81 400. This
is meant as no reflection on Chicago
real estate. but ne would have done
better to have deposited the money is
escrow and then persuaded the Moroc-
can bandit to kidnap him and hold
him for ransom. He Is an outcast in
deed, with every mans hand against
him, while the pious Herring lies in
the Chicago Jail with bond heaped on
bond until his release is impossible.
A few short weeks ago both were in
positions of trust, respected, confided
In and able to command fortunes for
their ventures. Today the meanest
felon is the equal of either of them.
II Is a common saying, that II a man
steals enough he can Feep out of the
penitentiary Stensland and his part
ner stole millions. but nothing less
than the hand OF death Itself can save
them from prison cell. It is with
Just such cases as this that justice
should deal swiftly and relentlessly.
Every man. who might have stopped
their plundering, and is within reach
OF the law should be. made to feel the
result of his criminal folly. In this
way only can weak men be taught to
respect their trusts. II was the liberal
reward so promptly offered by the
Chicago Clearing House association
that stimulated the pursuit of Stems
land to success, and, perhaps, no body
OF men is more eager to see Stensland
and all his aids in crime meet their
deserts than the Chicago bankers.

WHAT IMMIGRATION MEANS.

Dearth of labor is the great draw
back of the south, felt in every com
munity, retarding every line of enter
prise and deprivng every property
owner in some measure of the just re-
turns of his thrift. II is this fact
that has set on foot an investigation
into Industrial conditions, out Of
which was evolved the immigration
movement that has gained such wide
spread popularity.
This dearth of common labor not
only cripples factories in meeting
their demands, Planters In harvesting
their crops and househo,ders in
keeping up their establish
meats. but II actually interferes with
the development of the country to it's
\. full wealth producing capacity 1t is
there that the condition is serious
anC there is no hope in the outlook by
the natural gain in population.
This shortage OF labor is used with
telling effect by commercial and in
dustrial bodies in other parts Of the

the progress of the entire south, and

surplus OF labor In any portion OF the
south, Il is matter of vital import

TO overcome these conditions.
The farmers of Jackson's Purchase
have been blessed with boanteous
cnops, and throughout this section
the cry goes up for help. Men and
women unused to such labor, have
been compelled TO assist in the field
and In the harvest to protect the inn
niense crops and save them from loss.
The factories in Paducah Ia some
Instances have found II difficult to Sc
cure sufficient labor TO operate their
plants TO the full capacity. Especially
