Peculiar Condition Has Arisen
Under Provision of New
Law in Reference to School
Capitalization.
SCHOOL ONCE CLOSED
TO BE RE-ESTABlISHED.
The Number of Pupils in the
District Now Makes This
NeceSSary-Good for 9th
er Crowded Schools.

Wayne county seems to be the frst
in the state to suffer any Inconvenience
on account of the law passed by the
last legislature. which requires cen
tralization of schools. The system
has worked satisfactorily until the past
two weeks, and now the Smyrna school
four miles northeast of Richmond. one
of those closed because ii had fewer
than fourteen pupils. has to be reopen
ed according TO the statement of
County Superintendent Jordan. This
is inevitable. il seems. as since the
opening OF the school year. several
families have moved into the neighbor-
hood, making the total number of chill
dren in the district. more than enough
to warrant the re-opening of the
school. A rather puzzling contingency
has arisen since Trustee Potter and
County Superintendent Jordan have
decided to open the school again, ;.s
the state law on the question does not
provide for re-opening of closed
schools. Mr.. Jordan has, however. Sc
cured the advice of State Superintend-
ent Cotton on the subject and he has
been given assurance that il will be
perfectly right to reopen the school
| if conditions so demand.
Means a New Teacher.
! At the present time, pupils formerly
attending the Smyrna school are at
tending the Middleboro and No. -
schools. and as these are overcrowded.
it seems the best policy to alleviate this
condition. The opening OF the school
will necessitate an addition to the
teaching force of the county. Supt.
Jordan has not yet decided who he
will place in charge OF the school.
! The residents of the Smyrna<>district
are pleased that the plan is being Civ
en- serious consideration. The sys-
te moi hauling the children to other
schools has not proved exactly popular
! in that district. as II entails more la
Dor. for parents generally have a
greater care placed upon them in get
ting their children off to school each
day. The holder of the present con
tract for transportation to and from
the school stands ready to cancel his
contract, as he says the work Is not AS
pleasant as it might be.
The system as a whole, saves the
county much money, and a better
course of instruction, generally speak
ing. can be arranged for. but notwith.
standing all of this the scheme is not
proving as satisfactory as 1t might and
parents are not at all loud in their
praises of the system.

Speaker Cannon IntimateS
No Action Will Be Taken
At Coming Session.
POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
THEY ARE ALSO VIEWED WITH
DlSPLEASURE BY THE SPEAK
Err POSTMASTER GENERALS
PETS IN DISFAVOR.

In reference to the parcels post, a
live topic in Richmond just nov, a
Washington dispatch says:
Speaker Cannon has broadly init
mated to Postmaster-Genera Meyer
that he does not think the time is ripe
for the establishment of an unlimited
parcels post system or the establish
ment of postal savings banks.
The parcels post extension, the
speaker has told Mr.. Meyer, will not
receive the consideration of congress
during the coming session, nor will
according to the information impaired
to Mr.. Meyer by the speaker.
The speaker says that with talk of
tariff revision prevalent and with the
financial condition of the country in
not too satisfactory a condition he
does not think it would be wise for
congress to institute innovations
which might result in extraordinary
expense, especially as the postal ser.
vice has never paid for itself.
The extension of the parcels post
has aroused the most bitter opposition
from the small town mc1Chants. who
have been besieging the speaker with
petitions not 70 permit congress tC
take any step which would facilitate
the extension of the mail order busi
ness in the rural districts.

MRS, eRApLEYS SANITY
Many Witnesses Testify to Their D.
lief in This.


lief in This.
Washington, Nov 28-The late tss
timony offered in the trial of Mrs.
Annie M. Bradley. charged with hav-
Brown Of Utah in this city last Decem
ber, has been most damaging to the
defendant. There were many wit
nesses who had seen her shortly after
the shooting, and others who had at
tended her while she was in Jail here,
but none of them at any time doubted
her sanity. These witnesses had been
called by the government in rebuttal.
They included practically every one
who had come in contact with Mrs.
Bradley after the shooting of Senator
Brown. Attendants at the hotel where
the shooting occurred, ofncialS at the
police station. and at the house OF de-
tention i'll which she was at first con-
fined, newspaper men, doctors and at
tendants at the Jail declared their be-
lief that she was rational in manner
and coherent in language when they
saw and talked to her. Several other
witnesses who had talked with her in
Salt Lake City and elsewhere prior to
the shooting, gave evidence to the
same effect. A dramatic feature was
the description by Soren s. Christen-
sen of Salt Lake City, Of an encounter
between Mrs. Bradley and Mrs. Brown
at a hotel in POcatello, Idaho, in the
summer Of 1906 On that occasion
Mrs. Brown discovered Mrs. Bradley
in the hotel with Senator Brown and
and asked to be allowed to kill her
Cries of Mrs. Bradley brought the
senator to her rescue and then the en-
tire party, including the witness. had
an all-night discussion OF the difficulty
during which Brown. turning fiercely
upon his wife, denied that he was the
father of her son, Max Brown, and al
the same time admitted that he was
the father Of two Of Mrs. Bradley's
children. An outburst Of denunciatioT
by Mrs. Brown of her husband and
Mrs. Bradley followed, after which
the senator and the defendant Went
70 another hotel, where they called
for drinks. A new phase Of the testi
nlony was the admission by Archibald
Livingston, the senator's stenogra
pher, that ne had often told false
hoods to Mrs. Bradley in order tt
quiet her and to avoid trouble fol
either the senator or himself
Justice Stafford rebuked a coupl,
OF spectators. man and a woman
who brought with them a girl abou
eleven years OF age When the justic'
saw the child he stopped the proceed
ings and ordered An attendant to es
cort the couple and the child from
the courtroom. The testimony. as OF
every day since the trial began, in
cluded many illusions UNFIT for tn,

1t was expected that all the testi
mony would be in yesterday. but a
| the last moment the district attorne,
| subpoenaed three additional witnesse
in rebuttal. Another witness is nov
on his way here from Utah to testif,
for the government. 1t is now almos
a certainty that the testimony will b.
concluded on Friday.

The general land Office in
Washington has recently made a
ruling relative to making final
proof of residence on homesteads
that will prove of general inter-
est to those who may desire to
take advantage Of the decision.
In cases where a homesteader
went upon his land Immediately
after having made his filing, and
resided there continuously four
years and six months, final proof
can be made at that time, in
place of having to wait for the
expiration of the full five years.
This ruling seems to have been
made in fairness to the honestly
intending settler who goes upon
his land Immediately and does
not take advantage of the six
months interval that the land
office allows in which to make
preparations to actually live up
on the claim. The original rul.
ing requiring fourteen months OF
actual residence on the land be.
fore being able to commute and
pay out at SIPS per acre still
holds good, but the land Office i;

months to those who go upor

Organize Statehood Leagues.

The formation of the first
county statehood league in the
territory in this city yesterday is
a great step forward in the right
direction and the New Mexican
hopes that the people of every
other county in the territory will
follow suit. Organization is al
ways effective and especially in
a good cause, and the more thor
ough and the better handled the
more effective it is. Statehood
leagues in every county in the
territory by proper work and eff
fort can arouse the people and
the voters generally to united
action and efficient work for
statehood. They can and should
interest the individual voter in
the important question, distribute
literature setting forth the great
benefits to be derived from state
hood, have petitions sent to Con-
gress praying for statehood,
framed and circulated, signed
and forwarded TO Delegate w. H.
Andrews for filing with the
proper committees in the House
and Senate and in other ways do
efficient and timely work. II
seems that the statehood iron is
red hot and in the right condi.
ton for striking it for welding
from it the sovereign state Of
New Mexico within the next
twelve months. County state.
hood leagues can properly b.
used as some Of the hammers il
striking this iron and bringing il
to the shape of statehood. Now
is the time and New Mexi
co is the place. New Mexican

1t is up to Luna county to fall
in line and organize a statehood
league. Do it now! There is no
politics in this fight to secure
the grand blessing of statehood.
The leaders of both big parties
have agreed that the question of
political control of the new state
is not to be considered until af-
ter the enabling act has been
secured. Statehood rises above
politics and everything else. 1t
is the paramount issue before
the people of New Mexico to-
day, and demands a strong,
united effort.
