GLORY AND HONOR IS
ALL FOR WILLIAM
STATE LABOR COMMISSIONER
DOMINATES CONVENTION,
Radical Candidate for Mayor Has His
Declaration Of Principles Lifted AL
Most Bodily into PLATFORM Haynes
Fares Ill and Seems Doomed to Travel
Lonesome Road.

All the prestige from the democratic
county convention yesterday accrued to
W. H. Williams, state labor commits
sioner and candidate for the mayoralty
nomination. He won both in the con-
vention organization and on the plat
form, and his victory in the convention
brings him in the limelight. The, sup
porters Of J. G. Haynes are. decidedly
worried over the situation.
Williams has had a circular out for
two weeks, stating his position fon local
ISSUES. His declaration for reduced
streetcar fares, and for city ownership
Of all public utilities, was lifted right
into the platform. In fact, the draft
and handed to the committee was little
changed, only some of the explanation
struck out, and the ownership declara-
ton toned down little. It is Will
liams platform, and his rival will have
hard work to climb on it. Williams
will make an aggressive fight right
along the lines laid down in the plat
form, and will make the Haynes men
hustle to beat him. - I. ~
Dismal for Haynes.
The latest trend Of events indicates
their votes into the, republican pr
maries and endeavor to nominate DR.
Williams, leaving Haynes to shift fol
himself in the democratic contest. This
makes a stronger probability that w
H. Williams may defeat Haynes.
The movement. organized by JOSEPH
Kiichli to- head off radical municipal
ownership resolutions hardly showed it
self in the convention. The only evi
denee was in the fight for temporary
chairman, and that was tFcinch' fo1
F. Winston. Tho not by habit a radi
cal, Mr.. Winston recognized thu
strength of the municipal ownership

Washington, D. c. Jan. 20.-B. S.
Rodey, former delegate to congress
from New Mexico, appeared before
the House Committee on Territories
today and delivered a speech in IA
vor of the joint statehood bill, which
afforded the Democratic and Repub-
Ican members of the Committee an
opportunity fora final tilt on the
statehood question. Mr.. Rodey was
repeatedly interrupted by questions
from the members of the Committee
and by heated arguments designed to
bring out the attitude of the admins
tration on statehood.
Representative Lloyd 0Mo.) asked
Mr.. Rodey if it were not true that the
President and Speaker of the House
we're forcing the joint statehood is
sue. Mr.. Rodey asked to be excused
from answering the question, and
Chairman Hamilton (Mich.) intimat-
ed that the Democrats were being
forced by their organization to op-
pose the bill.
Representative Moon (Penn) inter
rupted the argument to say: 81 OBJ
ject to the gentleman from Michigan
and the gentleman from Missouri ha-
wing this fuss here, when in private
they express opposite opinions
Mr. Rodey denounced the system
of taxation in both New Mexico and
Arizona, and said that corporate in
fuences have been draining both
Territories and holding down their
own taxes Under joint statehood, he
said, the people of the two Terrific
ries could unite and curb these in
f1uences and prevent their public do
main from being stolen.
He pronounced the denunciation Of
the Mexican population in New Mexi-
co as ridiculous, and said the Mexi-
cans were a religious and law-abid-
ing people, and in no sense menace
to the welfare Of the proposed state.

Mr.. and Mrs. r. Kennicott, of Chica

Artesia last evening to visit their
sons L. S. and A. D. Kennicott They
will remain at Artesia for several
weeks. The elder Kennicott is re-
tired officer of the U. S. army. There
was a terrific crush at the train last
evening as the incoming and outgoing
crowd was immense Many of those
IN their desire to get a seat tried to
get on the train before the crowd
could get off. Mr.. Kennicott called
the attention Of the reporter to the
fact and said that a policeman should
meet the train and make it his duty
to see that all passengers were off
before any we're permitted to board
the train. Las evening was the worst
crush that the reporter has witnessed
IN Roswell for over two years. One
man tried to rudely push by and get
on the train and caused a child to fall
and if it had not been for bystanders
catching the child it would have fallen
from the platform to the ground.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
Wealthy Money Lender Has His Head
Crushed With Flat Iron.

Crushed With Flat Iron.
Warren, O., JAM 2O.-The people
of West Pennington, a village near
here, are greatly excited today as a
result of the mysterious murder last
night of E. K. Lewis, wealthy bank
er and farmer. An unknown man
came to the home of Lewis in car
riage. Lewis and the man, it is said
were in conference for an hour. At
the end of that time a hired man
found Lewis dead, with his head
crushed, while his hands and feet
were tightly bound. His skull had
been crushed with fat-iron. Lewis
held many thousand dollars worth of
chattel mortgages, and it is believed
that a quarrel over one of these re-
suited in his death. The murderer
made no attempt to rob Lewis, it is
believed, as the latter's watch and
pocket-book were found on his per-
son.
