GOVERNOR HAGERMAN'S
STAND AGAINST GAMBLING

From FL Paso Herald.
II is good to see the Governor of
New Mexico come out strongly ag-
gambling is licensed robbery. and no
self respecting community should Ter
init the system to remain in force.
New Mexico is certainly not in any
way dependent on licensed robbery
for a living. nor do her hundreds of
thousands of decent people have to
submit to the wishes of a few DULLES
and crooks, or to the vicious cravings
of the dissolute- Down with it, once
and for all time. 1t is good business
sense, as Ell Paso and other south
western cities have proved to their
own entire satisfaction.
OF course the mere enacting of
stringent laws will not bring about
the reform, unless public sentiment
is ready to insure their enforcement,
But the legislature, by the wise sug-
gestion of the governor, can at least
the gamblers, and remove
from the Territory the stigma of re-
ceiving part OF the proceeds of crime
as purchase money for the right to
commit robbery. The entire Terrific
ry and all its people will experience
tangible and immediate benefit from
the abolishing of the public gambling
system and the enforcement of the
criminal laws against the gamblers.
Tho GOvarnOr nrOnOSpS that fha IL
quor licenses be increased to maize
up the loss in revenue caused by abol-
ishing the gambling license. The in
creased license for saloons would be
a good thing in itself, though its eff
cacy depends very largely on the Ii
deity with which such a measure is
enforced by assessors and collectors.

the people of New Mexico than selts
in the legislature, and since it does
not require any unusual degree of po-
litical foresight to perceive that par
ticipation in any of these dirty
schemes born of desperation and NAL
ice would write ."fnis" On the politi-
cal history of the best man in the
Territory, you may reasonably con
clude-indeed, you may practically
know, that any man with a hope for
the future, and a single grain of po-
litical sense, will have nothing to do
with them.
We have sufficient confidence in the
craftsmanship and patriotism of me
gentlemen composing the upper
branch of the present legislature, all
personal considerations aside, TO be-
lieve that they will set their faces
firmly against any n all of the wild
and reckless schemes now being in
cuDated in the house, for he sole
purpose of getting even" with the
Governor, and the enactment OF which
would practically destroy the entire
executive department of our Terrific
rial government.

Water Resources of Rio orande

water Resources of Rio rande
The water supply of the Rio Graade
Valley from the southern border of
New Mexico to Santa Fe is described
in Water Supply and Irrigation Paper
No. 1873 Water resources of the Rio
Grande Valley in New Mexico and
their development" recently issued,
by the United States Geological Sur
vey. The Investigations made in this
n pertaining to the ground waters
and their utilization, the other to the
conservation and storage of the sur
face waters. In the northern part
of this region a comparatively small
mount of water derived from the mo-
untains sustains a small but perma-
nent flow il the river, but in the south
ern part the stream bed is often dry.
The investigation showed that mucn
OF the diminution in The volume of the
Rio Grande is due to the fact that a
large part of the water of the river
sinks into the porous material of the
valley bottom. So much wafer enters
the ground from the river an6 tribu-
tary streams that there is opportuni-
ty for development of under ground
water for irrigation. Water Supply
Paper No 1873, which may be obtain-
ed on application to the Director of

the throne. While a young be-
ing barely rs years of age, Abdoul is
said to be the most daring military.
commander of Persia and the pros
poets of a raid has caused great alarm
among the foreign residents OF Ten
eraa.
Today. Persia is practically bark
rupt and the country is ia control of
England and Russia, having been re
duced from its proud position as an
Independent empire to thai Of a mere
buffer between British India and Asia
tic Russia. While this has much to
do with the dissatisfaction of the
people and the consequent prospects
of a revolution, the question of bread
is at the bottom of b trouble. A de-
cade ago the Persians were rosperors
and happy, living was easy and provis
ions were abundant and cheap. Mis-
government and lawlessness have
worked a great change il these condi-
tions. While the higher classes are
living in luxury and growing wealth
Ter every day, life for the poor has
become an insane scramble for bread.
Thousands of Persians today are lit
orally starving, slowly but surely, be-
cause of the fact that while the wage
scale for common labor has steadily
decreased, the prices of provisions
have been constantly increasing.
In the midst of this appalling mis-
cry and poverty the government COLI
tinues to pay enormous salaries to
thousands of persons Who never do
any useful work either for the country
Or themselves. The list of pensioners
is said to comprise nearly a third of
the entire population of Persia and
comprises a huge army of consumers
of wealth, while the producers are left
to starve. The new shah is young, en-
ergetic and ambitious and apparently
has the welfare of his people at heart.
Whether he will succeed in making
Persia again a happy and prosperous
nation remains to be seen.

MRS. KEALEY INSANE /?
CONFINED IN A HOSPITAL FOR
FEEBLE MINDED.
Woman Who Achieved NOtOfieiy By Her
Defiance of The United States
Government.

Information has been received here
that Mrs. Kate Kealey, the woman
who achieved much notoriety here
some years ago on account of her
defiance of the United States govern
ment by refusing To vheate the house
which she occupied on the addition
to the Naval Academy, is confined in
a hospital for the insane.
The chief OF police of this city has
been asked TO look out for her rela-
tiyes, as she has some valuables in
her possession. The money paid by
the government for the property Mrs.
kealey occupied was turned over to
9th RS, in whom, il was found, the
title rested. Mrs. kealey claimd the
property and refused TO yacate. She
drove off workmen who came TO tear
the house down. Possession was final
v obtained by ruse, the house being
entered while Mrs. Kealey was at
church. Ii was thouht at the time that
the woman WAS losing her mind.
Mrs. kealey held out horoically,
stubbornly and tenaciously against the
government, for over year and her
house was barricaded with toness and
sticksby boys, but she would not yield.
The water supply of her house was
shut or, but game TO the last She set
vessel on the roof and caught rain
water for drinking and cooking pur
poses.
For days il was thought she went
without food, or received 1T surrep
titiously. The house was watched
and guarded. She refused TO admit
anyone, even those who were her
friends, but finally yielded TO the per-
suasion of the then Chief of Police
Travis L. Brown, who at last induced
her TO leave her fortress and take refuge
i'm the grounds of the convent OF
Notre Dame. Chief Brown had called
upon the good Sisters. who offered
Mrs. Kealey home i'm small house
i'm their grounds, and who furnished
her comfortable lodgings and food.
Mrs. Kealey accepted the kind offer
of the Superioress, but soon grew
tired of the life in the convent en-
closure and became abusive to the
Sisters, who she said were calling
her names" while they said their
mathis, or chanted their prayers
while at work. Mrs. Kealey's con-
duet became so offensive that the
Sisters were Obliged TO request her TO
seek other quarters and she left TO
visit friends, she said, in New York.
About year ago she was seen on
Lexington street, Baltimore, but so far
as known she has never returned TO
Annapolis.
It was always thought the woman
was of feeble mind, as she would
scarcely have manifested such indom-
table will and sheer stubbornness in
resisting the United States government
to eject her from its rightfully pur-
chnsnn nrnnnrlN
