corner of Fifth and Main streets on
games have been arranged between
the Military Institute and Roswell
town team, the first to be played at
two o'clock Friday afternoon, and
the second at three o'clock Saturday.
Tommy Cniln and Caldwell will be
in the box for the town team, and
Hester will do the twirling for the
Institute. Both teams have been prac-
ticing regularly and some good games
may be expected. The town team mas
been strengthened considerably this
spring, and the Institute claims that
it's team is the best it has had for
years.
Tommy Chinn, the new pitcher for
Roswell was on the pitching staff of
Little Rock in the Cotton States
League last year. He is known to
some of the fans here who saw his
work in the States, and all speak of
him in the highest terms. His prac-
tice work has proven every claim of
his admirers, and some fine box work
is expected from him
Both teams will appear in their
new 1907 suits. If possible, a parade
will be arranged to be pulled off Just
before the games are called.
the Roswell team played the Mex
leans practice game Sunday after
noon and the Mexicans beat them
to 3. The defeat is accounted for by
the fact that three of the town teams
best players were absent.

ten and his manner of speech always
appeared rational. Rev. John Arm

in the tombs declared Thaw appeared

although in his first conversation with
Thaw after his arrest the prisoner ap-
peared irrational DR.. Hamilton was

ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE
JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.

Norfolk. Va, April 2.-AH roads
this year lead to Norfolk and the Jam
estown Exposition, and they will be
well travelled. Virgflia's house will
be in order and her guests will be vel
come,-and such a welcome. A fes-
tai city of palaces awaits the visitor,
aid the thunder of the natives of the
world will roar him a salute. The
sunshine of Virginia will beam upon
him, and the nation will be on parade
for his benefit.
The great movement has begun, the
exhibits, and the paraphernalia of the
numerous amuSementS are arriving
daily. 1t is amazing to contemplate
the far-reachilg influence on life and
activity of such an enterprise as this.
The exposition might be compaA1 TO

hundred barrels, he said, was mere
idle wind, there was nothing in it.
From Mr.. Perry's talk it is evident
that he believes in the existence of a
paying oil field across the Pecos riv-
er, and tnat the prospect is suffi-
ciently encouraging to Justify the
thorough exploration of the field. The
great value of the present oil well is,
that it will furnish fuel sufficient to
put down other wells, thus doing away
with the purchase and hauling of
nigh priced coal to the field
The gas coming from the well,
hoped for, is sufficient to run a gas
engine. When lighted it throws out
from teninch casing volume of
flame about three feet high.
The Record understands that it is
the Intention of those behind the
present drilling, to go on with the ex-
ploratiOn work and to finish the well
of the Home Oil Company, and per-
haps other wells. The situation
across the river is certainly encour-
aging enough to justify this, and the
people of Roswell may yet have gush-
ers of oil at their very doors.
There is some six hundred feet of
water in the oil well at the present
time, and al effort will be made to-
day to cut this off. Mr. Perry be-
lieves that this water comes up from
deep down in the well, and will to-
day plug the well above where he
believes this water comes in. The
presence of this water may hold back
a larger volume of oil and gas than
at present is indicated at the top of
the well.
Mr.. Perry is an old and experienced
hand at the oil we'll business He has
operated in the northern and south
ern fields and at present is located
in Arkansas. He looks at his business
in philosophical manner. being full
ly acquainted with the risks he runs,
and knowing full well that a careless
move On mis- part, or the slightest ac-
cident will let loose in all its force
the high explosive he handles. He
will remain in the Valley for a few
days yet, assisting at the well.

PECOS VALLEY ROAD
TRANSFERS ITS PROPERTY

According to deeds filed in the of

F. P. Gayle, the Pecos Valley and
North Eastern Railroad Company has
sold all its property of whatsoever
kind to the Eastern Railway Compa-
ny of New Mexico, for a considera-
ton of 81 and other valuable inter
ests. The Pecos Valley and North
Eastern is selling to the newly incor-
porated organization to combine the
lines of the Santa Fe in New Mexico

pose of facilitating the dispatch of
all such business as recording, ac-
counts, suits, etc. So far as can be
learned at this time the transfer has
no other significance.

President Barrett and other officials

before the commission to urge their

Chicago, ILL.,, April "A sensation
was created here today by the publica
ton of a letter written December last
and addressed to Sidney Webster, Of
New York, and signed E. H. Harri-
man. In the letter Hartman says his
trouble in insurance affairs originated
il allowing himself to be drawn into
other peoples affairs. He says that
in the autumn in 1904, about a week
before the election Roosevelt sent for
him because the election in New York
state looked doubtful and asked him
to nelp in raising funds as the Nation
al committee under the control of Cor
telyou, had utterly failed of obtaining
them and that there was a large sum
due from New York state committee.
Hartman said he explained to Roose-
welt that the difficulty was mainly
caused by leaders up state being un-
willing to support Depew for re-elec-
ton as U. S. Senator. He says the
President agreed that Depew should
be withdrawn and that he would ap-
point him ambassador to France. With
this understanding Hartman says he
raised 100000. He does not know if
there was any insurance money in
the funds. With this money he claims
a difference of 100000 votes in the
general result was secured.
Hartman says that after the cleo
tion in December 1904, he had short
talk with the President in which
Roosevelt told him that he did not
think it necessary to appoint Depew
to Paris as agreed and in fact favor
ed him as Senator. AS ne could do
nothing further he decided to use
what Influence he had to have Depew
returned to the Senate as he consid-
ererd there was an implied obligation
which should be lived up to.
