ANOTHER NEW
TOWN SPRINGINC UP
La Lande on Eastern Railway of New
Mexico in Roosevelt County A.
tracing Homeseekers.

DR.. L. P. Strayhorn, of La Lande,
Roosevelt County, a new town on the
line of the Eastern Railway of New
Mexico, is spending the week in the
city. He was an applicant for IL
cense to practice medicine before the
Territorial Board Of Health which was
granted The doctor is a graduate of
the Memphis, Tennessee, College.
La Lande is new town on the Belen
cut off and contains now about 250
people. 1t Is two and half miles
north of Old Fort Sumner on the
Pecos River. The country about La
Lande is settling up very rapidly and
many homestead entries have been
made there during the past several
months and homestead settlers are
still coming. Water is obtained by
drilling at from so to 100 feet depth.
The water is good.
The settlers who broke land during
the winter and seeded it will have
good crops without irrigation. Crops
so far are principally corn, milo
maize, kaflir corn, sorghum, and vege-
tables There has been a sufficient
amount of rainfall so far. The settlers
have come mostly from Oklahoma and
Texas and are pretty well to do and
are bringing livestock, farming ma
chinery and household goods. Many
settlers south of the railroad have
put up substantial improvements and
fences.
The big steel bridge across the
Pecos River is completed and has been
standing for some time, 1t is one Of
the longest bridges on the Santa Fe
Railway system. Up to date local rail
way trains have been running to the
Pecos River but by the first of August
it is understood that local train ser!
vice will be extended to Vaughan, a
station where the Eastern Railway of
New Mexico crosses the Ell Paso &
Southwestern Railway, Y miles west
of La Lande.
DIR. Strayhorn says that the expert
ments in planting cotton in the vicin-
ity of La Lande so far are turning
out we'll He. was raised on a cotton
plantation and although he fears that
the nights in western Roosevelt Coun-
ty are too cold, nevertheless it looks
as if cotton will be raised success
fully from present indications. The
altitude for cotton raising may prove
too high, however

TOBACCO TRUST
UNDER FIRE
Government Files
Suit in u. S.
Court
SEEKS TO DISSOLVE MERGER
American, Imperial, United
Cigar Company and 56
Others Made Defendants.

New York, July 10.--The govern
ment filed today in the United States
Circuit Court OF this city, a petition
against the American Tobacco Com
pany, the Imperial Tobacco Company
the British American Tobacco Com
pany, the American Snuff Company
the American Cigar Company, the
United Cigar Stores Company, the
American Stogie Company, Mean
drews and Forbes Company, Conley
Foil Company, and fifty-six other cor
porations and twenty-nine individuals
connected with the companies named
Seeks to Dissolve Trust.
These organizations and individuals
constitute the Tobacco Trust" and
the petition directed against them
sets forth the purpose of the govern
ment to dissolve this trust by break.
ing up the agreements under which
the consolidated concerns are work
ing.
The petition, in showing the growth
OF the trust since it's organization in
1890, reaches the conclusion that at
an early date, unless prevented, il
would completely monopolize the en-
tire tobacco industry.
Destroying Competition.
The American Tobacco Company in
1901, the petition states, secretly ac
quired control of the United Cigar
Stores Company (for a long time there
after denied) and through it retail
tobacco stores are established in large
cities which by reason of the power
ful support and influence of the com
blnation have quickly secured a dom
mating position in trade and are de
stroying competition.
Criminal Prosecution Likely.
James C. McReynolds, special as.
sistant attorney general, who filed a
complaint in the tobacco cases said
today that criminal prosecution OF
some Of the defendants named in the
case was highly probable, as the Sher
man law under which the action is
brought makes conspiracy in re-
straint Of trade criminal offense.

Washington Denies Sensa-

Toxic. July 10.-The Hechi pub.
lished sensational interview with Ad-
miral Sakamoto yesterday in which
he admiral was quoted as saying that
the officers of the American navy were
incompetent and that the sailors
would rather retreat than meet the
Japanese on the high seas. Realizing
that Admiral Sakamoto had made
serious bunder, the government took
prompt steps to retract the inter-
view In consequence the Hech will to-
morrow withdraw it's interview with
Admiral Sakamoto who was quoted as
saying that American naval officers
were brilliant social figures. but def
cient in professional training and
ican ships would retreat rather than
fight Japan.
simultaneously the Hechi will pub.
lish an anonymous interview with a
Japanese naval expert, highly eulogis-
tic of the efficiency of the present
American navy and the high standard
Of its gunnery.
The report that Ambassador Aoki
will return home is officially denied
here.
Prompt DeniaIs at Washington.
Washington, July 10--From the
State Department and from the Jap
anese embassy here came swift and
conclusive denials today of the accur-
acy of the statement cabled from The
Hague to the London Daily Telegraph
and reprinted in this country to the
effect that Japan has made categor.
ical demands upon the United States
government for satisfaction In connec-
tion with the treatment Of Japanese
in San Francisco and has served no.
tice OF her intention to deal with the
Californians herself II the national
government fails to do so.
At the State Department it is eaid
that the American public is fully
aware of the nature of the exchanges
that have taken place on this subject.
That there has bene no correspond.
ence of recent date and that there are
no negotiations now in progress be-
tween the two governments is we'll
known
This statement Is fully confirmet,
at the Japanese embassy where more.
over it is positively stated that Am.
bassador Aoki is not going to Japan
next fall as reported in the Japanese
newspapers.
Hope Aoki viii Resign.
New York, July 10.-The Herald's
Toxic correspondent in dispatch to-
day, states it is generally believed in
Toxic tnat the dispatching OF Director
Ishi of the foreign Office to the Uni
ted States on a secret mission was
necessitated by the unsatisfactory and
meagerness of Ambassador Aoki's re-
ports from Washington on the present
complications between Japan and the
United States
Viscount Aoki's long services and
honors make it difficult for the pres
ent government to remove him as am
bassador at the American Capital, but
many express the hope that he will
take the hint given in Ishi's mission
and resign.

Weather conditions during the week have also been bet ter than expected. The insight for week points to around 235,000 against 170,696 last year.

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP
(By Staff Correspondent.)

Little Rock, Ark, March With
 the Balch insurance bill up in the
 house and the Argenta re-annexa-
 tion bill up in the senate, yesterday
 afternoons session of the legisla-
 ture was the most stormy one of
 the present session. The local in-
 terest in both of these measures is
 intense and both houses were crowd- ed during the afternoon with the supporters and opponents of the
 bills.
 The Balch bill, which will virtu- ally repeal one part of the Arkan- sas antitrust law, and permit the foreign old line fire insurance com panles to re-enter the state, was called up in the house by it's author for third reading and final disposi- tlon. This was the signal for the opening of one of the hardest fights of the present session. Mir. Balch opened the debate with a strong speech in support of his measure. He1aeclared that it was vital to the business interests of the state that some relief from the present insur- ance situation should be provided. He stated that the insurable proper ty of the state amounts to approxi- mately $200,OOO,OOO, of which about $9O,000,00O worth of proper ty is insured. Of this local compa- mes carry only about $5,O0O, ,OOO. The remainder is insured in the foreign companies. He said that this has been done by reinsurance. put that this is clearly in violation or the antitrust law and that it will probably be stopped in the near fu- tnre unless tA. law is changed. MT. Balch was interrupted by sev- eraI members, who believed that tne Dill would repeal the entire anti 8trust law, but Mir. Balch insisted that this would not be the result. RDut that it would only repeal the Eextra-territorial feature of the
 easure as applied to insurance aeoopanies. The Balch bill pro- $Vid@s that any insurance2 cempahy, 3Wn1ch complies with the regtifAtfons So1 the state, may do business in the 3state. if it. is not "a member of a )Pool or trust to fix rates in Arkan-
 as. The present law prohibits com
 anies from doing business in the
 tate who combine to fix rates at ny point, whether in or out of the tate. ~s X representatives Meade and Ruff < poke In oppositioa to the bill and representative Beck of Sebastian

1 immediately switched from aye to no, in order to move a reconsidera- tion but before he could do SC. Senator Amis moved to reconsider the vote and to lay that motion on the table, which would have fnallr Killed the measure. This motion was lost by the tie vote of 16 to 16, and Senator Hamiter then announc- ed that he would move to rec0nsid- CT the vote by which the bill failed to pass. This will result in tha measure being called up again and there is yet a chance for it's passage. Senator Oldham, the author of t',a bill, made what was declared to be the greatest speech of the present session on his measure. He spoke for an hour and forty minutes and his speech was the most bitter ar raisnment of the city administra- tlon of the city of Argenta that nas been made since the celebrated fight between the two cities began four years ago. Senator Oldham closed the debate on the bill and the vote was then taken
 Dealing in Futures.
 An agreement on bill, which would prohibit all dealings in fu- lures in cotton, grain or other com- modities was reported to the house yesterday morning by the judiciary committee. The committee reconl- mended the passage of. the Heart sill bill. with several amendments which are taken from the bill on the same subject offered bYs. ,Rep, resentative Moore. The bill as amended will be known i as the HeartsillMoore .bill,, SO that nc. one shall De robbed of: any credit that may be co1n2nected with. the legisla- tion. The Heartsill--Moore sbill will be of very drastic character. It will prohibit all Il. k kinds, dss, of option dealing and will make it unlawful to buy or sell. futures op to main tain an office where such 'etfahsac- tions are made. 1t also makes it unlawful for"any. 'telegraph ot tele- phone compan$s.slo transmn .,ssaAy message regarding tradsactions~ in futures even even. if such transactions are to be closed outside the state. The bill will probaly be called up in the house for action within a short time.
 The senate is also working on an anti-futures bill and the special committee, to which the six bills on the subject, which has been intro duced, were referred, held another hearing last night, at which number of bankers, cotton buyers and planters presented arguments against the most drastic measures that has been introduced. The com mittee is composed of the authors of the six bills that have been of- fered in the senate and it is believ- ed that the result of the hearings will be that "a new bill will be drafted from those already intro- duced and presented to the senate as a compromise measure. It is not believed that this will be as drastic as the Heartsill-Moore bill which
