INVENTOR EDISON SIXTY
YEARS OLD TODAY
AND WILL
Now Devote His Tine to Play
ing with Electricity Instead
of Money Making.
INVESTIGATORS IN NEXT
100 YEARS MAY LEARN

New York, Feb. 11.-Thomas A.
Edison, the inventor, is 60 years old
today. In an interview yesterday he
said it was now time for him to
knock off work and play while.
For forty years l have been making
experiments with electricity" said
Mr.. Edison, but all these years
have been turning these experiments
into commercial value so fast that /
have not had chance to play with
electricity for the fun Of the thing.
But from tomorrow | am going to
give up the commercial end of ii and
work in my labratory purely as a
scientist. That will be a pleasure
that l have long promised myself"
Edison said it would be daring, for
man who would venture a predic-
tion as to the next great step in the
application of electricity. I'VE are
all busy collecting data, we investi-
gators" he said, land may be in 100
years more we will begin to suspect
something"

THE JAPANESE SUP
ELEMENTAL BUDGET

Toxic, Feb. 1.-THE supplemental
budget issued today shows that the
largest item is a debt charge of $S2,-
600, 900, of which 100000 is for
redemption. The increase in the or
binary expenses of the army and
navy is only $3,S0O,O00. The gar
risons of Corea and Manchuria VIII
be reduced by one division each.
The army and navy appropriations
amount altogether to $95,OOO,OO
but no mention is made of the pro-
gress of the monster battleships now
under construction at the govern
ment yards, and in England. The
Japanese railway guards in Man
churia will be an independent corps
of volunteers. The adoption of the
two years service system in the in
fantry will increase the efficient
strength of each division by 500 men
annually, but it is expected that in
two years the standing army will be
increased by 10000 men.

THIS CITY NEED
Be CAREFUL
JUST NOW
Cancellation Will do More
With Legislature Than
Bull Dog Attack.

There will be a meeting of the
Boosters club tomorrow night at the
Zeiger cafe hall, to discuss lower
county salaries and flood protection.
If the people turn out en- masse or
if only those invited, every loyal
citizen of Albuquerque" shall be
present, it is evident that an adjourn
ment must be taken from the hall to
au outside gathering.
The purpose of the meeting is said
to be the election of a big delegation
TO go to Santa Fe and let the legisla-
ture know what is wanted by Albu-
querque and this part of the Rio
Grande valley. The railroad is to be
solicited for reduced rates and a
grand junketing trip seems to be IN
anticipation,
AS Bernalillo county, though the
smallest in the territory, has three
members of the legislature, certainly
her full proportion, who were elected
because of their pre-eminent qualifi-
cation to represent Albuquerque and
the county, and to let the legislature
know what this section demands, the
sending of a big delegation seems to
be superfluous altogether and a need
less work of superrogation. There
would seem to be but one Of two
ways in which a big delegation"
from here can over-awe the legis-
lature. One is to send over enough
men to clean out the legislature, va
cate the seats of the present mem
bers and take possession for them
selves; and the other is to take the
morning papers squirt-gun of fltn
and turn it on the legislature and
thus wash them from the capitol into
the Rio Santa Fe. However, It Il
doubtful If bulldozing tactics will be
successful. The members of the
legislature from this county can do
more man any delegation sent even
by the Boosters club, provided only
they exercise a little common sense,
Albuquerque is the largest city in
New Mexico and Bernalillo county is
the wealthiest county, but both to-
gether lack a good deal of being the
whole cheese when IL comes to but
ting against the remainder Of the ter
ritory.
