STOP IMPORT OF BUFFALO
HIDES TO UNITED STATES

New York, Feb. lS.-Judge Hazel
Of the United states circuit cou.t to-
day handed down a decision ruling
that buffalo hides from India canno,
enter the United States. The inn
ports of hides from India nave ith-
in the past few years greatly increas-
ed, the merchandise being used i'm
the manufacture of shoes, and I'm 9TH
er lines. Judge Hazel in his decision
states that the term "hides Of cattle"
in the Dingley tariff act does not in
clude buffalo hides or the skins of
the hump cattle of India or Africa.
As the decision will seriously effect
the leather trade an appeal 10 Judge
Hazers ruling will be lodged.

DELEGATE ANDREWS GETS
CHANGE OF CHARACTER
immigration Bill Passes the House
by Good Big Majority lover
All Opposition.
Special to The Evening Citizen.

Special to The Evening Citizen.
Washington, d. c., Feb. 1S.-An
interview with Delegate Andrews has
developed sthese facts: In the ap-
preparation for a public building at
Albuquerque. 100000, which Mr..
Andrews secured in the closing mo-
ments of the first session of the pres
ent congress, the structure was spoken
of as a postoffice building.
The delegate had great trouble in
getting this Strengthened up, but he
finally succeeded in having it correct
ed by a bill, so that Albuquerque can
now have a public building.
The architect tells Mr.. Andrews
that he can plan only on the basis of
the money appropriated. He cannot
design a building to cost over $780,
000,hoping that subsequent appropri-
ations may make good the deficit.
Hence, his plans will be for build
ing about the style of the federal
building at Ell Paso. He claims that
he can make first-class building
for 100000, as the government owns
the ground already. OF course the
furniture will be extra, but the next
congress may be relied upon for that.
Solomon Luna is here and he
seems much pleased with the plan.
Every one familiar with the south
west knows that the Ell Paso federal
building is a magnificent structure of
four stories and basement accommo-
dating the postoffice, the federal
court, weather bureau and the Gus
toms departments. Such a building
would be all that Albuquerque could
need had she $4,000 inhabitants
Work is to be begun at once.
Conditions are not so favorable
with reference to the valuation OF
the Albuquerque issue of city bonds.
Delegate Andrews has had this mat
ter up with the committee several
times, and still believes that he will
be able to get them to report favor
ably upon it, although many of the
members of the committee are OPP
posed to any such action on general
grounds, and they fear that when the
measure comes before the house
some one will object and that will
kill it. However, the delegate in
tends to push the measure if it be
possible to do so.
The Andrews bill comforting juris-
diction on the court of claims in the
case Of Manuelita Swope, has been
referred to the committee on claims,
and his bill, granting lands to Anna
Johnson, has gone to the committee
on public lands. Andrews has taken
up with the pension division the cases
of Antonio Jose Mares for a $12 pen
sion, and Joseph Feutzer for $17.

Back From the Excursion.

AS far as entertainment went, the
excursionists could not be prejudiced
against either town. AS far as pos
sibilities are concerned, there are no
limits to them anywhere in the great
valley.
The hat was passed on the train be-
fore reaching Santa Fe and every one
was asked to cast a vote either in
favor of Estancia or Willard for the
location of the county seat. All but
about twenty persons voted. The re-
suit was: For Estancia rs; for Will
lard, ~. Whether this will in any
way represent the sentiments of the
house members when council bill
No. 15 for the change of the county
seat from Estancia to Willard comes
up, is a matter of doubt.
"Hurrah for Estancia valley-the
new farming district of New Mexico"
will at least be remembered as the
slogan of the Thirty-seventh assem-
bly,.
No Fight on Councilman Dalies.
william Gregg, justice of the peace
at Estancia, returned with the ex-
cursionists to Santa Fe. He said:
I'VE residents of Estancia want to
be understood rightly on this question.
We believe that we are entitled to the
county seat because we have the
largst, most up to dat and most
central town in Torrance county.
1--WE desire it understood that we
are not making a fight on Councilman
Cart A. Dalies. There is no disposi-
ton on our part to cause rupture In
the republican party in Torrance
county over this matter. We, for the
most part. are republicans who advo-
cate the keeping of the county seat
at Estancia and we believe that from
what the legislators saw of the Es-
tancia valley of Estancia and of our
development, citizenship and loyalty,
to party and territory that they will
not remove the county seat to VIII
lard"

CONVENTION OPENS

Buffalo, Feb. 1S.-The fifth annual
automobile show under the auspices
of the Automobile Club of Buffalo,
opened in the Convention hall today
and was splendidly patronized. This
show has, for the past four years
been by far the best local show in
the country. 1t was admitted at the
last show that the decorations were
the best ever seen outside the New

at the present show will entirely
eclipse all past effect in this direction.
The Convention hall is packed with
exhibits by all the best known makers
in this country and abroad and great
interest is being taken by the public
in the show.

open and signed threats of war
against the United states If 1t does
not get out of Cuba are now made
by the leaders of the liberal party, to
whom everything has been given by
the American provisional government
except absolute control.
The party is Unsuitable and has
grown impatient over the delay of the
Americans in withdrawal. when IL

masters of Cuba.
The suggestion of the conservative

to the Insanity of Defendant
When Visited by Him.
EVANS CORROBORATED BY DR.. WAGNER, WHO IS RECALLED
Part OF ThaWS viii Was Permitted to be introduced by
Jerome Who No Longer Offered
His Usual Objections

New York, Feb. 1S.-The serious
differences among the lawyers. who
are engaged to defend Thaw, was
patched up last evening and 1t is
probable that for the remainder of the
trial there will be at least an armed
truce among them. For a time 1t
looked as IL the trouble had reached
the stage where Dolphin NJ. Delmas,
who has conducted the defense, would
withdraw from the case; but now 1t
appears he will go on. The interces-
sion of Mrs. William Thaw is said to
be responsible for patching up the
quarrel. An open rupture among the
lawyers would be very serious for
Thaw. and the realization of this fact
doubtless had much to do with the
settlement of the difficulty.
Juror Bolton Reports.
After an interruption of four days,
the trial of Harry X. Thaw was re-
surned today. Juror Joseph Il. Boil
ton, the death of whose wife caused
the postponement of the case and the
release of the jury from close con-
finement since last Thursday was
early at the criminal court building,
declaring he felt perfectly able to go
ahead with the trial.
During the long adjournment there
had been many rumors of conflict
among the defendants counsel, but at
the opening of court today all six OF
the attorneys, who have represented
Thow during the proceedings, were at
his counsel table, consulting together
as usual.
DR.. Britton d. Evans, superintend-
ent of the New Jersey state hospital
for the insane, at Morris Plains, was
on the stand last Thursday when the
trial adjourned and was recalled to-
day as the first witp sss. Delmas took
up the direct exer .ination of the wit
ness. thus retaining his position as
leading counsel.
DIR. Evans Gives Testimony.
Evans was asked to relate the con-
versations he had with Thaw during
the first three visits to the defendant
at the Tombs. The witness had here
tofore testified that as the result OF
these conversations he had concluded
I Thaw to be insane.

Washington, July 19.--All immi-
grafton records in the history of the
country were broken by the aggre-
gate returns for the fiscal year of
1907, which ended on June 30 last.
The total number of alien immigrants
landed In America during the year was
1.2S5,349, as against 1.1OO,735, dur
ing the fiscal year of 1905. The in-
Grease during the past year was about
6 per cent over the greatest number
immigrants that ever arrived in Ame-
rica heretofore in single year.
The figures for the entire year have
not be sn complied in detail, but 1T
is kno, m that the great majority of
the inn igrants reached this country
during the last six months, the exact
number for that period being 743,-
952, an increase OF 10 per cent over
the six months ended June 80, 1906.
