WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS
ON GOOD BEHAVIOR.

London, Mar. S.-The woman's en-
Reimbursement bill, which came up
for second reading il the House of
Commons today, and which was intro
duced by James Keir Hardie, Social
ist, last year, has eoked far greater
interest. The bill simply provides
that women shall have the franchise
upon the same terms upon which it
tactics of the Woman Suffragists of
recent months and their bold raids
upon the House of Commons hae gi-
ven them a prominence hitherto not
attained. The house was crowded
when the debate of the proposed mea
sure began, but only women whose
good behavior was guaranteed by the
members were permitted to enter the
gallery.
The debate was a repetition of the
familiar arguments for and aginst fe-
male suffrage, and there was a COM
plete divergence from the usual par
ty lines. An attempt was made to
close the discussion, but the speaker
declined to accept the motion, and
the opponents of the bill held the
floor until five o'clock, when the sit
ting closed automatically. They thus
won the day, as this practically kills
the bill for the present session.

buttal, and at his request the ad-
journmelt was taken. This action was
not unexpected, for Delmas has serv-
ed notice late yesterday afternoon
upon the district attorney that the
defense had abandoned the plan OF
calling two more experts
Jerome did not consider this noti-
fcation official. and so came into
court this morning prepared to lis
ten to more testimony as to Thaw's
unsound mind. Immediately after the
case was called, Delmas arose and
announced, THE defense rests.'
Jerome then asked for adjournment
until Monday. When the court ad-
journed last Wednesday evening,
said Jerome, Il had no reason to ex-
pect other than that l would be con-
fronted this morning by experts who
would be called to answer hypothet-
ical questions which Delmas was to
frame, extemporaneously. Yesterday
evening, however, Mr.. McPike called
upon me with a letter from Delmas
saying that the defense would call
no more witnesses. Under the circum-
stances, l must ask for an adjourn
ment, as l have 10 witnesses availa-
BILE today"
Delmas had no objection. and JUS
tice Fitzgerald ordered the adjourn
ment. Jerome said the evidence in
rebuttal would be in by Wednesday
and that the case should go to the
jury Friday.
1t was reported around the crimi-
nal court building after the trial ad-
journed today that Evelyn Thaw had
been subpoenaed by Jerome to ap-
pear as a witness for the prosecution
il rebuttal. No verification of the re-
port could be obtained.

CONDITION OF ARCHIE
ROOSEVELT IMPROVING.

Washington, Mar. 8.-The condi-
ton of Archie Rooseelt, the Presi-
dents son, who is suffering from a
severe attack of diphtheria, is more
encouraging this morning than at
any time in the last IS hours, though
the patient is still in a critical con-
dition The greatest anxiety is felt
by the doctors over the weak heart
condition of the patient, and DIR. Lam
bert is administering heart stimu-
lants to prevent another sinking
spell today. Secretary Loeb issued an
official statement at nine O'Clock this
morning, as follows: THE physicians
report this morning that Archie
Roosevelt had a good night and his
condition is most gratifying. The
President mas been with the patient
exercising the same pre-
caution as the physicians as to in
fection.''

reports that a great majority of the
wheat crop between Fort Worth and
Roswell, except that around Amaril-

green bug. Much of it is being plow-
ed now in preparation for planting
cotton. At Amarillo the wheat is
looking good, and the green bug is
not bad there.

MORE cHILDLESS HOMES
THAN HOMELESS CHILDREN

DR.. Charles E. Lukens, superinten-
dent of the Children's Home Society
of New Mexico and Arizona, returned
yesterday from trip to Las Vegas,
where he went to place an orphan
in one of the homes of that town
He reports the work of the society in
splendid condition. At Las Vegas
he conducted service in the Presby-
terian church, furthering the cause
of home finding to the extent that
several private homes were found
that want children.
DR.. Lukens says that wherever he
plan of the society than he finds ma
ny good homes for pare1tless child
rem. He maintains that this proves
the truth of his theory that there is
no need of great heartless orphans
homes in this country-that all need
ed is someone who will find the
homes and place the children in them
as this society is doing in New Mex
leo and Arizona. The necessity of
keeping children in places of this
kind, with no more of a mother than
four cold, brick walls, is a relic of
the imperfect past. he says, the plan
of this society cannot help but sue
ceed so long as it is kept before the
people. He further says that there
are many more childless homes that
want the life and happiness children
give than there are homeless orphans
to fill them.

I Wednesday. While the committee is
investigating this transaction it was
thought that it might be as well to
investigate some of the other trans
actions by which timber lands secur-
ed to the Territory by the Ferguson
act had been disposed of by the Ter
ritOry. There were a number of
these transactions, and they involved
ed about 10000 acres of land
1t was quite evident that the lead
ers of the house who framed the res
olution to investigate the Pennsyl-
vania Development company's purch-
ase had not calculated on any fur
ther Investigations of land deals, but
they were disappointed in this, for
it was considered that the opportu-
while Investigations along this line
were being made the whole matter
might as well be looked into so that
the people of the Territory might be
advised as to the way the valuable
timber lands had been disposed of
during the past six years.
The following resolution, prepared
by Hudspeth, would have been intro
duced in the house on Wednesday af.
ternoo1. but just before the introduc-
ton of resolutions was reached in
the regular order of business, the
house adjourned. 1t was introduced
yesterday.

Special to the Daily Record.
Santa Fe, N. NJ, Mar. S.-The res
olution which was introduced in the
house of representatives last Monday
is not having the effect which was
expected by the members of that bo-
dy who are trying to discredit the
Governor in the eyes of the people.
Some of the most prominent Repub
licans in the Territory think that it
was a great mistake, from a Repub-
lican party standpoint, to introduce
such a resolution, as it is bringing
out all of the land transactions of
similar nature which have taken
place during the past six years.
1t has already brought out in the
public prints the story of the Bon
ham and Holt transaction which fail
ed of consummation on account of
an investigation made by special
agent sent out from Washington TO
look into the matter. A special re-
port was made of this matter by e.
p. Holcombe, who obtained affidavits
from some of the persons wnom Nj.
Holt had asked to make applications
for land in which they stated that
they had signed the applications at
the request of Mr.. Holt and to oblige
him, and that it was with the under
standing that it was a mere matter
of form and there was nothing lille
oral n,- i-, hof
expect to have any interest in the
land. and at the time of signing the
applications they executed deeds con-
veying the land and gave them to
Mr.. Holt. None of these applications
were for more than 16O acres Of
land, but it was sought to secure
nearly 10000 acres of land belonging
to New Mexico, by this means, at a
price of s1.5O an acre.
This special officer reported that
he secured an interview with Mr.
Holt at the office of Special Agent
Dezendorf, of the interior department
and in the latter officers presence at
which Mr.. Holt stated that all the
applications for this land were made
by bona fide applicants in their own
right and under no agreement to
transfer title after twas acquired and
that in response to a question by Mr.
Dezendorf as to whether he meant
by bona fide applicant one who ap-
piled for himself for his own use and
not for another and intended to pay
for the land with his own money.
he stated that that was mis- under
The house committee which was
appointed to investigate the transac-
ton with the Pennsylvania Develop
ment Company commenced work
promptly, and w. S. Hopewell, of the
pennsylvania Development Co., ap-
peared before the committee on
