With regard to other sections of the

that we have here one of the most
valuable artesian districts in the
world, with nearly five hundred flow

water enough to irrigate nearly a
thousand acres of land; and that in
the alfalfa district, u farmers are
busily shipping alfalfa into Texas and
Texas buyers are at the present mo-
melt readily paying then ten and a
half to eleven dollars a ton for the
alfalfa which our irrigation system
enables them to raise so easily. Only
today 1 was told by the shipping ag-
ent at one of the alfalfa points that
a small farmer had cleared enough
money off the first cutting from his
eighty acres to take a trip to Europe
with his wife and daughter-a1d there
are three more cuttings to come.

probe the Gerry Society.

New York, July 31-Charges of a
sensational nature. nearly amounting
to illegal kidnapping. have been made
against the Gerry "child saving so
ciety as the result of Investigations
made by officers of the childden's
court, preliminary to an additional
hearing today in the case of the al
legged abduction" of the children of
Thomas Murphy, a laborer residing
at 1877 Third avenue.
The agent of the Gerry society stat
ed in his complaint that he had found
the children in filthy rooms, with no
one to care for them. When the
youngsters appeared before Justice
Wyatt they were found to be clean,
well cared for and apparently happy.
The father was found to be a hard
working man, regularly employed, and
he protested vigorously n earnestly
at what he termed the abduction" of
his children. Numerous witnesses tes-
tilted that the children were well ia
ken care of and mat the complaint
of the Gerry agent was baseless. Muir
ply said that his wife died last Sep.
TENDER, leaving nine children. Five
of them, as well as the father, are
working, but the four younger ones
had to be left at home, and it was
for this reason that they were seized
by the Gerry agents. Investigators
declare hat the Jordan apartments
are neat. clean and well furnished.
Charges of cruelty aid abuse have
been made by dozens of youngster:
in the care of the Gerry society anG
these will be fully investigated by
the authorities.

that this interview fairly expresses

Captain Curry has decided even be-
fore taking charge to make some
changes in the officials of the Terri
tory. Then there is good reason to
believe hat President Roosevelt also
will make some changes-a1d the in

gang to the ~pe1itentiary. Verify, there
will be a hot time in old Santa Fe

When Mr.. Ralhman yesterday was
asked regaiding the persistent report
That he might organize a new uptown
