REV. e. MCQUEEN GRAY
CALLED TO ALBUQUERQUE

Rev. E. Mcqueen Gray, of Carlsbad,
who has been acting as general mis-
sionary of the Episcopal church for
the Pecos Valley, will next mont be-
come the rector of st. Johns parish
at Albuquerque, the strongest church
of the faith in New Mexico. Mr.. Gray
will conduct one more service in Ros-
well, Feb. II, and it is hoped that
this mission will be supplied after
March 1st by Rev.. Mr.. Lonberg, of
Lexington, Kentucky.
The congregation of st. Andrews
in Roswell would have been glad to
secure the services of Mr.. Gray as
rector, but realized that a MAJ of his
qualifications must be called to a
larger field when he decided to reg
ularly devote his time to the minis
try. However, he has agreed to stay
in Albuquerque only three months,
and should the Roswell mission make
itself an independent parish there
might still be a possibility of secur-
ing Mr.. Gray, as Roswell would be
closer to his interests at Carlsbad.
Mr.. Gray came to New Mexico some
years ago for his health, coming di-
rectly from Great Britain. He engaged
in raaching, at which he has made
a success after some ups and downs
due to buying American gold
BRICKS" and has long since recovered
ais health.
His missionary work has been very
largely a labor of love. So far as
learning goes. there is perhaps no
better educated man in New Mexico,
and besides that he is a practical,
manly man. Holding to what are
sometimes called high church"
ideals, he is as broad and liberal as
he is high. To him the faith in Christ
is the foundation OF the church uni
versal, and he has no quarrel with
Christians of any division. The church
at Albuquerque is to be congratulated
on securing the services of MI. Gray.
BY the way, we believe that in Scot
land he would be called Baron" IL
stead of Mr." Gray, but a certain
colloquial American usage of the
term baron" makes it doubtful wire
ther he would care to have that me1-
toned. The lecture on Good Govern
ment' which he was to have delivered
in the church Sunday morning will
be given later at a more general
meeting of the citizenship, to be an
bounced later.

POSITION OF REPRE-
SENTATIVE MULLENS.

Santa Fe New Mexican, Feb. 1.
A representative of the New Mexi-
can talked to Representative James
w. Mullens, of the district composed
of the counties of Chaves, Eddy,
Roosevelt and Lincoln today con
corning the proposition to create the
in reply that he was nominated for
the district, but being a resident of
Chaves county, feels it incumbent to
stand with and by his home people.
He has carefully viewed the situation
and has found That the great majority
not favor the making of Artesia coun-
ty at this time. Numerous letters and
petitions have also been received
by him from residents OF Eddy and
he finds that the same public senti-
me1t exists there.
He has declined at the request of
the Artesia delegation to introduce
the bill prepared by that delegation
for the creation of Artesia county,
because he believes That the vast ma
jority of his constituents and the resi-
dents of the Pecos Valley do not ia
vor the project. Being a member of
but a small minority, and his section
also being very prosperous, he has
not much to ask of the present as
sembly.
He was not a supplicant for a
large appropriation for the mailte-
anc of the New Mexico Military In
stitute at Roswell, but thought that
such ought to De had as a matter of
right and justice. The Institute is an
educational institution of which not
not only the people of the Pecos Val
ley, but all the people of New Mexico.
regardless of party and regardless of
section should be very proud; hence
he thought it but proper and right
that the claim of the New Mexico Mil
itary Institute. should be properly and
fully recognized.

AGENTS WANTED TO SELL
AND BOOST DAILY RECORl

The Record wants a live, energetic
agent in every town in the Pecos Val
ley, to have charge in his town of the
circulation, advertising and %correspon
dence of the paper. This is an oppor-
tunity not to be overlooked by the
right kind of young man. and if he
be the right kind, he will not overlook
it.
The Daily Record prints more &C
tual news than any other paper in
New Mexico witn the exception of the
Albuquerque papers. The manage
ment is determined to increase the cir
~culation of tie paper by every legi-
innate means. One of the best ways,
in the opinion of the management is
is have the right KIM of an agent in
every town in the Pecos Valley ard
to the right ki1d of an agent special
inducements will be offered, making
it worth his time and effort to boost

HERE'S HOPING.

From Las Vegas Optic.
The legislature now in session at
Santa Fe will certainly give the PEG
pie of the Territory a universal three
cent railroad fare law. 1t is expected
that the railroads will put up a fight
to maintain their present ~exorbitant
rates, but they should not. They ought
to be willing to make this concession
without protest. n Kansas and Mis-
souri, they are threatened with a two
cent fare law, and in some of the
states farther east such laws are now
in force. In Ohio, where the two-cent
rate has been in force for a year
there has been a decided increase in
the amount of travel and no falling
of in the earnings of the passenger
departments of the various roads il
that state.

Begin Penrose Court Martial.

San Antonio, Tex, Feb. 4-The
court martial of Major Charles w.
Penrose of the T~wenty-ifth infantry
on charge that he had been guilty OF
conduct to the prejudice of discipline
and good order in the United States
army begun today at Fort Sam Hous-
ton. The chrages rev out of the
Brownsville outrage last August, Ma
jor Penrose having been the comman-
negro troops of the Twenty-hfth in
fantry were stationed there. A large
number of Brownsville citizens are
here to give testimony before the
court, including many who testified
before NJ. D. Purdy, assistant federal
attorney general, who recently visited
this city and Brownsville at the in
stance of President Roosevelt. If all
he testimony of the witnesses called
is taken it is likely that the case will
be very long.
Citizens of Brownsville state that
the original cause of trouble between
he whites n blacks was the action
of the proprietors of the fou saloons
there providing separate bars for the
negro troops, marked, for colcrea
people, while the Mexicans were a.
lowed to drink at the same bar with
the whites. The discrimination made
between the negroes and the Mexican
seemed a special cause of offense to
the troops Of the Twenty-ffth Infan-
try. The widely published incident
of a negro soldier being knocked down
by a white man is declared to ave
e entirely justifiable by a Browns
vile citizen who witnessed the Incl
dent. According to his story, the of
Tending negro was intoxicated and il
suited a woman receiving his just de
serts at the hands of a white bystand-
.er.

MeMeER ASSOCIATED PRESS.

If that district attorney bill pro-
vided o immediate election of dis
trict attorneys by vote of the people,
the Record would be ready to climb
on the band wagon. But its sole pur-
pose is to take the appointive power
away from the Governor until the
statute of limitations runs against
the prosecution of election frauds and
other crimes. The proposition to
place the appointive power for two
years in the Territorial Council was
merely the offer of a bride to the up
per house for votes. But the bill
will not go through without the Cam
eron amendment providing for a spe-
cial election.

Total for congress. -. 81, S49, 10000
The appropriations of the short ses
sion of congress always are heavier
than those made during the long ses.
sions, because it is customary to en-
act a bill for the improvement of riv-
ers and harbors, and this year the
measure appropriates $1,000, 900.
Then, too, 1t usually is the case that
many members of congress retire as
a result of the election in the preced-
ing November and they have a natu-
raj disposition to get as large an ap-
preparation as possible.
In consequence of the action of con
gress in passing the bill authorizing
the pensioning of all persons G2 years
old or more who served in the civil
or Mexican war, the pension appro-
priation bill was increased S., 200, 900.
The Panama canal appropriation re-
manned about the same. The naval
expenses were reduced 2 10000, coo.
The agricultural department suffer
ed a reduction of 81, 500,0 900. The
post office bill passed at the pres
ent session carries nearly $40, 600, 900.
While the appropriation for the post
office department is very large, it
will be paid for in postage on mail
matter with the exception of about
$4,000, 900. This is based on an est,
mate made by the postmaster general

Helms Come 10 TheIr own.


Whiteside-A recent decision Of the
Missouri supreme court affects the
title to about COO acres Of Lincoln
county land. valued at nearly $4,000.
This land has been held by the Lin
coin County Coal & Mining Co. since
1877. Suit was brought against the
company in behalf of the heirs OF the
widow of Joseph Heady and a decision
was rendered in their favor. The land
formerly belonged to Charles Shelton,
and al his death he willed 1t TO his
wife and her bodily heirs. Mrs. Shell
ton later married Joseph Heady, to
whom were born six children. Heady
applied to the circuit court for a de-
cree giving him a right to sell the
land. The decree was granted by the
court and Heady sold the land to
the coal and mining company.
