SOME PLAIN TALK ABOUT
THE REASON FOR THE FIGHT

1t was with Mr. Hudspeths defense
of the police force, however that the
discussion became strenuous. Mr..
Hudspeth spoke to the point. He us
ually does. But today he spoke with
IA careful freedom which caused the
atmosphere to become tense. '"The
gentlemen who are opposing the
mounted police" he said. should
take us further into their confidence. 4"
He was still puzzled to know what
1t was they objected to In the mounted
force. He had heard advanced no
grounds for objection. He was sure
that the men had earned their money.
THE opposition continued Mr.. Hud-
speth, pointedly comes from sources
other than those which these gentle
men allege. / know that there are
those opposing the mounted police
who have been brought to justice by
them. The policemen may take a
drink occasionally, but they are po-
tent force for law and order. ! have
received many petitions from others
than stockmen protesting against the
discontinuauce Of the force. The
mounted police have brought officials
to judgment, and large part Of the
opposition Is not from the faCf that
they have failed to do their duty. but
because, In doing it they have brought
others to Justice

desire to refute the accusation that
we are aCtuatfd by any false mO-
tiyes." Mr.. Holt's argument against
the mounted police was chiefly along
the time-worn line that the necessity
for force Of this kind was a domon-
stration of the inability Of the people
of New Mexico to govern themselves.

SPOKANE PEOPLE
FILLING COAL BINS

II there Is a scarcity of coal in
Spokane this winter 1t will not be
through a lack of enterprise on the
part of patrons In neglecting tot or
der fuel in advance. Dealers are
flooded with orders for coal to be
delivered during the months OF
July and August, and the city will
be in better shape to withstand a
cold winter than ever before.
Nelson Martin, manager OF the
Rock Springs Wood G. Coal Co..
said today that he had 1000 tons
of coal booked for future delivery
and he Is delivering over 80 tons
of 1t daily. He said he was receiv.

Work on the test well at the up

morning under the supervision OF
Contractor ]. A. Woods. The well
will be sunk on the hill above the

request of the board of health,
which wants the well sunk for the
purpose of testing the underground
flow of water known to exist, and
to gather data for a proposed sub

and dropped beneath the waves

All the passengers were in their

there aboard and proceeded to Eu-

Officers of the Columbia estimate
the number of survivors at SO.
Survivors suffered terribly until
rescued by the Elder. The night
was cold and they were drenched
to the skin. Without shelter, their
plight was pitiable.
Several were rendered temporar-
lily insane by the loss of relatives
and attempted to cast themselves
into the sea.
When the Elder hove in sight
many unfortunates dropped to their
knees and offered up prayers OF
thanksgiving. Others, frensied by
Joy, danced and shouted like
maniacs.
After being taken aboard the
Elder the survivors were given dry
clothing and food. The majority
soon recovered, but number were
still in bad shape when the Elder
started for Eureka.

ROOMS
URGE ACTION

Another secret session of the di-
rectors of the Interstate Fair asso-
citation was held at noon today in
the hunters room of the Silver
Grill. The meeting was called
hastily this morning by Manager
Robert Fl. Cosgrove, it is reported,
following communication from
the managers of the Warwick pool
room. The fair association is
seeking the repeal of the ordinance
prohibiting pool selling.
In order to accomplish this, they
must secure the cooperation of the
local poolroom men who have been
closed down and claim to be able
to control certain councilmen.
The communication from the
Warwick urged immediate action
by the city council. The Warwick
has now been closed days, and il
the ordinance is to be repealed at
all they want it done as soon as
possible and not wait until fall
when the fair will be held. Every
day means hundreds Of dollars tc
the proprietors.
1t was decided to get busy with
the council tomorrow night, II the
signs are right. However, the
Warwick poolrooms people are be
lieved to have secured promises
from the councilmen that once the
ordinance is repealed no new one
will be passed-for long time, al
| least.

PARK BOARD
ASKS $4,000

The park commission this after
noon will ask the finance commit.
tee of the council to recommend
that the city loan the commission
$4,000 from the sinking fund. This
fund totals about $4,000 and was
raised last year by half mill as
sessment. The fund is not needed
just now, but was raised last year
so as to MAKE the tax easier to
bear than If it was all raised next
year, when Treasurer Eggleston
anticipates it will be needed to help
meet bonds that fall due.
The finances of the park com.
mission are short and it wants this
loan to tide 1t over until this years
assessments come in or the pro.
posed 100000 bonds are floated
The park fund, according to the
treasurer, always has fell short

parks have been unable to keep UP

DEBATE JURISDICTION
OVER PIG LIVER

Isaac Stauffer, of the Clement
hotel. reported to the police last
night that he had. found a human
heart and liver on the banks OF the
river near the Natatorium park
baseball grounds. He said he was
sure the remains had belonged to
a human. The police reported to
Coroner Witter, who said it didn't
interest him until the remains were
proven human. Proving them hui
man was also a matter of no con-
Germ to the coroner
Then the police told the health
department and were told the own
eress remains were purely the
coroner's business. The police re-
ported back it's information on that
point and the health department
notified the City Scavenger Co.
Meantime private parties who
were not expert on any sort OF
livers or hearts investigated and
decided that the discarded machin-
cry had once operated in the in
terror department Of pig. What
happened to the pig is still un-
solved.

this is the beginning of trust
combination in the retail field, and
it may be true; but have before
called attention to the fact that
the tobacco trust controls only Is
per cent of the cigar trade, which
lends itself less readily to com.
bination.
1.-The final point is the question
whether the suppression of compe
tition has worked injury to the
man who has tobacco to sell from
his farm. Probably it has. Agents
of the department of commerce and
labor have gathered testimony In
all sections of the country where
tobacco is grown. There is con
siderable complaint from the
south. The government is trying
to find out whether this complaint
is well founded. 1t has been stated
on the floor of the house of repre-
sentatives that the southern tobac
co grower has been reduced to such
extremes of poverty that white
women have been obliged to &C

wrought by the tobacco trust will
be embodied in the report which
