tative talked the matter over in the
forenoon and in the afternoon the
Elgin man, who had evidently been
drinking quite heavily, entered the de
Lallo store and according to the testi-
mony, presented de Lallo with con.
tract which he signed without reading.
When the goods arrived de Lallo
found that they were not what he had
ordered and consequently refused to
pay for them. The Elgin Company
showed that de Lallo had secured what
the contract called for but it devel-
oped that the contract had been altered
in different places. Judge McFie held
that so long as man suffers a loss
by his own negligence in the matter
OF signing contracts, the law cannot
declare the contract invalid; further
that de Lallo should have read the con.
tract in which event he would have
been made aware of it's contents. 1t
was on these grounds that he took the
case from the jury and directed YER
dict for the plaintiff.

SCENIC HIGHWAY.
Forty conYicts Set to Work BY Su'
perintendent Bursum in Santa
Fe Canon.

Work on the Scenic Highway be-
tween this city and Monument Rock
in the Santa Fe Canon has commenced
in earnest and good progress is already
being made. A convict camp contain.
ing forty inmates with three guards
and under the management of Fore.
man Roy Fisher was located Monday
a few hundred yards above the main
reservoir of the Santa Fe Water and
Light Company in the canon. 1t Is
very we'll arranged and the men are
comfortably located and well housed In
one adobe building and in several
tents. The survey, which was made
by Engineer John H. Walker, runs on
the south side of the Santa Fe River
and Is quite high above water mark.
There will be no bridges and part Of
the road will be cut into the side Of
the mountain on the left bank of the
river going east. The necessary tools
and implements as we'll as teams are
on the ground and work will be push
ed rapidly. If there are no unto
ward and heavy rains or freshets, the
nine miles of road to be constructed
between this city and Monument Rock
will be completed by August 1st.
Thereafter, the detachment of con-
victs will be transferred to the eastern
end OF the road already completed to-
wards Las Vegas and it is expected
the road will reach the Pecos Reserve
before work will cease thia year
Foreman Fisher was employed in the
same work last year and has had con-
siderable experience. The convicts at
work were carefully selected by Su.
perintendent Fl. 0. Bursum and there
is little danger Of escapes or trouble as
far as now known For the first mile
the work will not be very heavy, but
thereafter considerable difficult rough
work will occur.

In Which Six italians Were Killed.
Police Unable to Secure a
CleW

Minneapolis, Mimi, March 2S.-Six
Italians, the victims Of terrible bat
tie with knives, were found dead In
an Italian lodging house here today.
When the police discovered the crime
the place bore evidence of struggle
in which it is believed at least twelve
men participated. None of the bodies
have been identified and neighbors
deny any knowledge of the affair.
Was II a Malta?
1t is believed that nine OF the men
constituted Malta and were search
ing for men marked for murder They
occupied a house for some time and
last night there were three new faces.
About midnight the fight started and
shortly after six men were seen to
leave the place. The dead men were
anutilated but !, not robbed and this
leads the police to believe the Malta
theory.

C0NFEREES Will
AGREE ON THE
STATEHOOD BILL
Restoring the New Mexico and Arizona
Clause--- territories to Vote on Oues-
ton Separately Under For
aker Amendment

Washington, March 2S.--That the
Senate and the House will reach a
compromise agreement on the state
hood bill, which will permit Arizona
and New Mexico each to decide for
themselves the question of their ad
mission as one state, seems the cor.
rect conclusion from present indica-
tions. The conferees met today for a
second time and while the session was
devoted to what are termed minor
amendments, there are indications
that the basis Of an agreement on the
chief question is suggesting itself nat
urally and will result in the restora-
tion OF the Arizona and New Mexico
clause to the bill with the first Foraker
amendment. An inquiry among Sena-
tors who opposed the original bill in.
dicates that they will accept this COM

TO TEST LAW ON QUESTION
In Highest Courts --.Other
Prominent Men May Be
Entangled.

New York, March 2S.-George w.
Perkins, formerly vice president OF the
New York Life Insurance Company,
was today arrested on warrant charg-
ing him with grand larceny in the
first degree The warrant was issued
by Magistrate Joseph Moss. Before
he was arraigned his counsel applied
to Justice Greenbaum, in the Supreme
Court for writ OF habeas corpus, di-
recting the production Of Perkins be-
fore Greenbaum. The writ was grant
ed. This proceeding takes the case
from the jurisdiction Of the magis-
trate and carries it directly to the
Supreme Court, which, however, is
not the highest court in the state,
there being an appellate division and
a court of appeals still higher, TO
whom the case might be appealed.
Perkins was arrested by a detective
from the Office of the district attorney.
When Magistrate Moss adjourned
court at noon, he said he was waiting
for Perkins to be brought before that
court but that he had not yet appeared
In the petition in which Perkins asked
for the writ of habeas corpus, he de-
clared he was imprisoned and re-
strained of liberty" by a detective and
that he is not committed by judgment
of any tribunal.
Argument Postponed Until Friday.
When Perkins appeared before
Judge Creenbaum his counsel asked
leave to demur to the writ and that
the argument be postponed. Judge
Greenbaum agreed that the argument
on the writ be postponed until Friday.
To Be a Test Case.
New York, March 2S.-George w.
Perkins, member of the firm OF j..
P. Morgan & Company, and formerly
the vice president of the New York
Life Insurance Company, was technic-
ally placed under arrest today in the
proceedings which District Attorney
Jerome has begun to test the legality
of political contributions by insurance
companies The allegation in the
warrant was based on the transfer OF
$48,702 of the funds of the insurance
companies complaining to Cornelius
N. Bliss, treasurer of the Republican
national committee in 1904. 1t isl
charged that Perkins obtained the
money from the insurance company
and paid 1t to Bliss. The arrest OF
Perkins and the subsequent issuance
of a writ Of habeas corpus will haveI
the effect of having the highest courts
in the state pass on the legality OIL
campaign contributions by insurance
companies. Much attention was di-
rected to this matter at recent legis-
lative insurance investigation and it
was shown that several of the larger
companies on more than one occasion
contributed such funds.
