BURTON PLANS
TO STOP WARS.
Cleveland Congressman T. Working
Out a. scheme for Disarmament.

Washington, July 7.--Represen-
lative Burton Is working out a prac-
teal scheme for disarmament to pro
'ose az the coming session OF the
nterparliamentary union I'm London.
DISARMAMENT as a theory has been
under general discussion for years.
Advocates OF peace and arbitration
feel that the fr,.itlessness OF this
discussion is epiained by the fail
ure to advance practical program.
Even IL such a propram were re-
jected il would shift the talk OF the
world from generalities as TO the de-
sirabiliy of check on war prepara-
uons To the consideration OF spe-
elhc details. That is Mr.. Burton's
purpose. He desires to secure, II
possible. an agreement by the rep
resentativesof the various parlia-
ments who will meet in London with
the idea that their recommendation
VIII receive consideration by The
Hague conference that follows. And
In the next session OF congress MIR.
Burton would use this scheme as an
added argument agairt further naval
increase by the Upnited States.

CAR ROBBERS CAPTURED
Ranger Dudley Made Quick Work
In Landing Five In Jail.

Two cars of merchandise were
broken into and robbed on the
Sth, inst, at Gallinas, 100 miles
north of here. The stolen goods
consisted of dry goods, whiskey,
and other goods, some of which
has been recovered. but the bal
ance is supposed to be buried in
the Gallinas Mountains. There
are a number of men in this rob
berry, five of whom have been
caught and placed in Jail here
for action in the U. s. Court,
and the preliminary trial is set
March 10 9before U. s Court Com
missioner w. s. Shepherd.
Two of the robbers were caught
on the spot by the section boss
and operator at Gallinas, and
three were captured by Ranger
Dudley in the Gallinas Noun
tains.
Mr.. Dudley followed the trail
of the robbers into the Gallinas
Mountains and captured three of
them, one of whom was heavily
armed. There is one thing about
Ranger Dudley in chasing out
laws and that is he has had con-
siderable experience and has
been associated with officers in
capturing some Of the worst out
laws that ever operated in the
Oklahoma and Indian Territories.
He is absolutely fearless, and we
believe him to be one of the
shrewdest detectives in the
Southwest today.
The names of the prisoners in
Jail here charged with breaking
and robbing the cars are: Fitz-
morris, Hanley ,Exoniccious, Dyer,
and ValicrOux.

MOORE vs.. MOORE DECIDED


In the District court Of the
Sixth Judicial District Of the
Territory Of New Mexico, in aud
for the county of Otero, Fitzger.
arid Moore VS.. Lee Moore,
which case has been in court fOI
more than q year, the testimony
being very voluminous, came
to q close ON the 18th, inst,
by Judge Mann handing down
his decision which was in favor
of Lee Moore, defendant, and the
costs of the case to be equally
paid by both parties.
The case was a contention over
considerable property, sheep,
real estate and money, the sheep
and ranch being in this county
and some real estate in FL Paso,
Texas. As to the decision Judge
Mann says: The evidence was
not sufficient to prove a gift
from the defendant, Lee Moore,
to his father, Fitzgerald Moore,
of the check for 1882, and the
notes for about $4O0, and the
ranch in Otero county, New Mex
leo, and the court therefore finds
that there was no such gift. As
to the property in FL Paso,
Texas, consisting of a house and
some lots, the court made no
finding.
The court arranged, Dissolved
and set aside the partnership
business Of the plaintiff and de-
fendant, and made the order for
the final settlement of said part
nership business, which business
the plaintiff and defendant car
ried on in this county as sheep
raising and was known as the
McFate ranch.
The courts decision shows
that there was no proof of the
account for merchandise claimed
by the intervenor, w. N. Carl,
and therefore the court ruled
that there was nothing due Carl
except the $1,000 loaned money
with interest.
Gen. Byron Sherry of this,
place and Attorney 7. NJ. Jones
of FL PasO represented the de-
fendant, Lee Moore, and Haw-
kins & franklin of FL Paso and
and Hon. ]. E. Wharton Of this
place represented the plaintiff,
Fitzgerald Moore.

GOVERNMENT HYDROLOGlST
Nay Visit AlamOgOrdO Soon to
Examine for Artesian Water.

Postmaster j. NJ. Hawkins Of
AlamogordO recently wrote to
the Department of the Interior
at Washington for the purpose
of getting the geological survey
interested in the AlamOgordo
district. He outlined the char
acter Of the valley, told Of the
attempt to reach artesian water
and urged that if possible the
government should continue
sinking the abandoned well un-
til a definite opinion could be
reached as to a water supply in
the formation below the red clay
beds.
To Mr.. Hawkins letter the
following reply was received:
Washington, d. c., March B.
Mr.. J. M. Hawkins, Postmaster,
Alamogordo, N. Mex.
Dear ir:-Your letter of Feb
ruary 9Th was duly received.
The Reclamation Act does not
provide for the sinking of ex-
perimental wells and other ap-
preparations of the Geological
Survey are not available for that
purpose. 1t is expected that, at
no distant date, one Of our hydro
logists will make an examination
of the Alamogordo district, to
determine the prospects for OBJ
tanning artesian wells, but at
present no definite prediction
can be made. 1t is to be regret
ted that the 1,OOO-foot boring
which you describe was not sunk
deeper, for it would have been a
most important experiment if it
had reached the bottom of the
Red beds and tested the resources
of the underlying formations.
Very respectfully,
A. p. Davis,
Acting Chief Engineer.

UNIONIsM DEFEATED
At Bisbee, Arizona, by a Large
Majority.

By a private letter from Bis
bee, Arizona, to a citizen here
it IS learned that the proposition
to uniOnize the labor element of
Bisbee, Arizona, which was voted
on last week, was overwhelming
ly defeated by a vote of some
thing like 400 for and 2,2OO
against. 1t is stated that had
the proposition to unionize car
ried great many people would
have sold their homes in Bisbee
and left the place because they
knew the fate of unionism in
AlamogOrdo, also that the Cop
per Queen threatened to shut
down in case the vote was for
union.
What q horrible state of affairs
when laboring men can not or
ganize as Of yOre, but the fail
ure is on account of infernalism
to 60 ON strike every time the
boss sneezes," and because of
labor unions imbibing too freely
of socialism, and to get in and
stay in constant state of uproar
and chew the rag" about every
known subject under the sun.
Then, we are informed, the la
bOrers at Bisbee get remarkably
big wages, and the company
owning the mines and enterpris-
es there are determined to get
in no more trouble than they
have to.
