BlCELOW TALKS.
Says That No Engineer Of Standing
Will Allow Name Connected
With Canal.

/. New York, Jan. 12.-Poultney Bige-
low, for whose presence before the
Senate Committee on Interoceanic
Canals subpoena was issued yester-
day, has a signed letter in today's
Times in which he says no American
engineer of standing cares to be
identified with the Panama Canal.
OF the city of Colon, he says:
THE sanitary inspection of Colon is
a shame. Negroes are leaving in
large numbers, by reason of their legi'
innate grievance which is a matter
Of common knowledge.
Taft can hire hundreds Of politi.
clans to call me offensive names, but
until he procures a respectable engin.
eer, or man of business, to indorse
the state Of the administration on the
canal zone, no amount of government
printing will afford him any real com
fort"

ENGLISH ELECTIONS.
Liberal Enthusiasts Claim That They
--- tist t1dve vvvrKHy MaJvr1ry
independent of Irish.

London, Jan. 12.-The general elec.
tion opened this morning and nomina-
tions were made today in 1870 bor-
oughs.
The elections in these boroughs will
commence tomorrow and last several
days. Ipswich is the only borough
polling today. One Of the remarkable
features Of the campaign Is the eX-
traordinary number of seats handed
over to the Liberals without any at
tempt of the Unionists to contest
them.
This is attributed in conservative
circles to the certainty that the Lib
erals will win the election.
Liberal enthusiasts claim that their
party will have working majority in
dependent Of the Irish Nationalists,
but the more conservative estimates
give Premier Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman majority Of only sixty or
seventy leaving the Irish Nationalists
the balance of power.

ABOUT COAL FAMINE.
f. E. Nuding Explains How the Short
age Occurred and Disclams All
Responsibility.

F, e. Nuding of the Capital Coal
Yards, In this city, today, made the
following explanation regarding the
shortage OF coal in Santa Fe and the
amount of advance in the prices Of
fuel. He said:
Three weeks before the fire In the
Madrid coal mines, we had our bins
full of coal. Then followed two
weeks shortage of cars during which
time we were forced to draw constant.
ly upon the bins to supply the city
During that time too, the miners
worked but 36 hours.
when the fire occurred and I saw
the condition coal users were In,
made arrangements to secure coal
from the mines at Quatro and Tircio,
In Colorado. This coal being mine
run was not of the best for fuel pur.
poses but In order to supply custom
ers, forked the coal, taking out as
much Of the waste as possible and put
1t on the market. | knew it was not
good and so told customers, it
was absolutely the best | could pro-
cure. | sold it only In one and half
ton lots so that as soon as | received
good coal could supply purchasers.
During this time | had nine cars
of good coal on the Santa Fc Railway
at Las Vegas which would have aided
greatly. This coal was. conf1scated by
the railway company to run Its en-
gines. was powerless to prevent 1t.
Then the freight rate was raised thir-
ty-five cents ton more than we raised
the price Of coal which was only 81.
In this manner the company lost IS
cents ton on all coal sold. The COM
pany expects within the coming week
to be able to supply all demands at
the old prices and with the best of
coal.
"W. H. Hahn who deals in coal at
Albuquerque and who Is interested in
the Capital Coal Yards in this city
spent considerable time in trying to
locate Mr.. German, freight traffic man
ager of the Santa Fe Railway Com
pany and finally succeeded in finding
him at TT. Worth, Texas. Negotiations
are now under way to bring the
freight rate on coal back to the old
basis which will make 1t possible to
market the fuel at the former prices.
The company here did everything In
Its power to protect the public during
this coal famine"

NEW OPERA HOUSE.
Elks Appoint Building Committee to
Look After Active Work Con.
sisting Of officers

There was a large attendance at
the Elks' meeting Wednesday night,
because business relative to the build
ing of the proposed new opera house
came up for discussion.
The committee on location reported
but owing to certain details not yet
arranged the report was not made
public. The opera house, however, is
undoubtedly an assured fact.
A building committee to take active
charge Of the work was appointed
and 1t consisted of all lodge off,
GERS. It was decided to build on the
property now owned by the Elks' lodge
and the building committee was in
structed to secure plans and estimates
of the cost of the new opera house.
A resolution was introduced advanc-
ing the initiation fee from $25 to $50
This resolution will probably be
adopted. AT the next meeting the
building committee will make Its re.
port and there will be a number of can
didates for initiation. A lively session
is expected.
There was a proud and happy smile
upon the face Of Charles w. Fairfield
as he limped painfully down the street
to his work only about an hour
later than usual. 1t was the won't
come off" sort Of a smile and one that
his friends understood. He looked
somewhat wan and off color, but not
without reason because last night he
became full fedged Elk with more
than usual honors because he was the
only candidate.
B. Ruppe. past district deputy whose
headquarters are in Albuquerque, was
a guest at the meeting Wednesday and
assisted in seeing that Fairfield was
started on the Elkdom road In proper

Information Receiv-
ed By Officials
Tells of
| POSSIBLE BAD CHECK
If Report is Correct Absence
Accounted for...Otherwise
Where is He?

After making strenuous efforts dur
Ing the past two weeks to find the
body of George Merriman who disap-
peared from the Claire Hotel, the Of
fcers have flown off at tangent and
are taking new track.
This time 1t is not the body but the
real live person they are hunting. and
last night kilograms were sent out
broadcast In an effort to secure traces
of the missing man.
Chief Talks.
In speaking Of the case last night.
Chief of Police Richard German said
that while he knew nothing definitely.
yet he felt morally certain that Mer-
riman was very much alive and far,
far away. The inference is that Mer-
riman did a second Piery stunt and
floated more checks than he could
take care Of.
1t is asserted on good authority that
one Santa Fe business man Endorsed
a check for $500 which came back In
just the same shape that it left, with
the exception that 1t was not good for
the same amount Of money. Whether
this is true or not, the officers are not
willing to say but they have aban-
doned the search through the foothills
for dead body.
Easy Marks.
1t appears as though most any we'll
dressed man can come to Santa Fe
and by writing a check secure ample
funds to take him on to the next stop,
ping place.
The police say that whether or not
this proves to be the case In the Merri-
man disappearance, 1t would be well
if business men would refuse to han.
die uncertifled checks presented by
strangers.
Chief of Police German said today
that he expected to locate Merriman
soon and secure some badly needed
information which several people In
Santa Fe are awaiting with bated
breath.
