others, saw the need of the school and their
efforts secured the passage of the bill.
The alumni association worked hard dur
ing that year for an appropriation and met
many obstacles the greatest of which came
from members of Congress who did not UNI
GerStand the nature of the school. The
late Senator o. Fl. Plat of Connecticut, IN
a speech made In the Senate once asked,
What is the Business High School. where
Is il, what does it do?" A large volume
OF 800 pages was gotten up by the alumni
association to answer these questions,
placed in the hands of each member of the
congressional committees and 1t was said
that the completeness of the book was the
most influential factor In bringing about
the desired appropriation.
Contained Testimonials.
The book contained testimonials from
prominent Washington business men, grad
yates of the school, and prominent educa-
tors of the United States. Illustrations
were given of the different buildings IN
which the school had worked and of the
building on LIST street, where IL was then
located. 1t was said that pictures of chill
dren, compelled to work during the day IN
dark, ill-lighted rooms lit by gas. and CT
the narrow stairways Of the school had
great force in bringing members of Con-
gress to a knowledge OF the needs of the
school.
1t is now desired to inaugurate an ex-
tended course along the broadcast lines OF
commercial education. Allan Davis, the
present principal and founder of this
branch of the local high school system,
the board of education and director Of high
schools are at present working on the new
enlarged curriculum to be adopted in the
near future. in addition to the present two
year course at the school.
1t Is the hope of the alumni that courses
in the commercial languages and labora-
tories for the study of chemistry and its
bearing on soils and commerce. may be
installed.

Murderer Hanged With Throat Cut.

John Conley. miner, who on January 16
1904. killed James Redding and Charles
Purdy at the Guadalupe placers. was
hanged at Taos N. M. yesterday a few
hours after being found in his cell with his
throat cut. The wound. which had been
inflicted with a pocketknife. did not sever
the artery, and was quickly bandaged.
Limp and almost unconscious, Conley was
dragged to the gallows and slipped through
the trap, death resulting from stranguia-
ton.
Conley had been convicted by a jury,
eleven members OF which spoke only Span
ism, and the trial was conducted with the
aid Of an Interpreter. An appeal was
granted TO the New Mexico supreme court,
but as Conley lacked the money to pay for
a transcript, the evidence was not reviewed,
and Governor Hagerman refused to grant a
reprieve Of thirty days, In which the case
would have been reopened- Conley insisted
that he killed the two men in self-defense.
In letter found in his cell Conley cursed
his enemies and declared thst he was In
nocent.
Conley was born at Albany, N Y He
served in the civil war as a Pennsylvania
volunteer. and afterward for five years
in the regular army in Indian campaigns.

have been made to secure approprla-
lions. Even now the new structure is
said to be inadequate for housing the
whole school, and an appropriation of $780,
000 has been asked for with which to pro-
vide rear addition.
The campaign for the new school ranged
over a period of years. but not until after
1900 did the fight begin in earnest. Then
it was taken up principally by the alumni
association, and referred to the school In
terests committee, consisting of Paul E.
Sleman. chairman; James E. West, Thomas
Grant and Charles A. Jones.
After much work in convincing Congress
that the building was really needed. this
committee managed, in June, 1902. to OBJ
tain the initial appropriation to purchase
the site.
Many friends of the school, and even the
faculty, had at that time given up the
idea of getting the new building, but the bill
was carried through in the last days OF
that Congress. The late Senator Mcmillan,
Representatives McCleary and Burkett and

Mr.. Macfarland's Address.
Mr.. Mcfarland said in part:
THE Commissioners congratulate the
Business High School. its faculty. alumni
and students present and future upon this
building it's first permanent home, and the
great opportunity it opens. For five years
the Commissioners have made special eff
forts to secure this building. and with the
cooperation of the friends of the school.
and that means the entire community. have
attained this object The community,
which long since through the practical tests
of daily business learned the value of this
school, rejoiees with US, 1t we'll may,
today. No wonder that we have more high
schools proportionately than elsewhere.
when we have such an intelligent and there
fore properly exacting citizenship, which
requires the best of everything. No wonder
the community has confidence In our public
school system. In view OF such results
as 1t can show This building, the best
that could be had for the money, which
was not all that we asked. will probably be
outgrown within a year, so popular Is this
form of education, like that OF the other
two high schools opened within the last
FIVE years for technical training. Then we
shall all work together to get the addition,
as we are working now toward the enlarge
ment of the Mckinley and Armstrong
schools. More school buildings, more
school rooms, small classes and more teach
ers, so as to give closest and best attention
and provide for all the children who ought
to be in the public schools. though none are
now turned away. and with these better
pay for our teachers, In justice TO the Dis
trfct as we'll as to the teachers-these are
the things for which we can labor with
harmony TO success"
Mr. Maefarland paid tribute to the sem
ators and representatives who helped the
schools in this and other matters.
So urgent has been the need of new
building ever since the separation of the
business course from the academic and It's

Colonial Stock Company.

The Colonial Stock company, which
opened its engagement at the opera
house last night, is headed by Rollo
Lloyd, young man Of much talent and
evident ability. He chose for his first
appearance the play a Celebrated Case
wherein he portrayed FIRST the young
French soldier, brave and handsome, who,
by force Of circumstances, Is tried aud
convicted for the murder Of his wife.
The principal part OF the play shows
him as the broken down, desparing gall
ley slave, who finds his daughter and
II finally proven innocent by her deyo-
tion to him and through the nobility
Of her friend, young girl like herself.
Lloyd was equal to his part, in every
point, and made fine impression upon
the large audience which greeted him.
He was first of all natural, and this
might be said Of most of his supporting
company.
The specialties carried by the company
are very good, and were given cordial
applause. Tonight "A Secret Marriage
and Wednesday night "The Bells"
The company supporting the star Is
one of exceptional ability, being in the

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

March 27.-Some time ago, a news
paper report told Of deaf man pelns
killed by the cars, said deaf man per-
sisting in walking on the rallroad
track. when 1.-THE walking was just as
good" on the wagon road. 1t so nap
pened the writer had the acquaintance
of this deaf man, and can assert that
he was more than of average intelli-
gence. In fact was "a we'll read man.,
Undoubtedly had read of other dear
men walking on the track, other dear
men being run over and killed by the
cars. One day after returning from
a walk on the railroad track the writ
er shouted thru his ear-trumphet, 'ibeen
to walk OH the railroad track as US
ual?" Sure / have was the reply.
..Why do YOU do it," asked this scribe.
Because I've just as good right to
walk on the railroad track as you
have" said the indignant deaf man.
So he asserted his rights and was
killed "in defense of rights" And yet
after all how much difference is there
between the deaf man and the man
who drinks Iowa whisky, because its
nobody's business All the latter has
to do, is assert his rights for a few
years and he joins she deaf men.
1t is astonishing for how small sum
a man will place himself in the ranks
of the dead-beats. For how few dol
lars he will get his name enrolled in the
County Merchants association, as a
man ito get the cash before the goods
go out of the store" We can have a
sort of respect, and a little sympathy
for some shining light in the COM
munity, that manages to swindle his
friends and the community out of
thousands of dollars. That's talent. We
all admire talent. But for two dollars
and a half and many for less amounts
get to be known by the merchants and
