STOCKS RECOVERING
Relief From Urgent Pressure Of Ii
quotation Checks Fall.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Relief from
the urgent pressure of liquidation and
support by banking interests has
checked the fall in the prices of stocks
this week and has led to some recov-
erN The dullness and sluggishness
of the recovery has marked the doubt
full tone of speculative sentiment over
the further course of the market.
Money has grown pronouncedly easier
but the high rate OF interest at which
railroad stocks continue to be sold is
accepted as continuing evidence of the
difficulty of securing fresh capital.
The growing avidity of investors for
these attractive note issues is sign
of an unloosening of hold on capital
withheld from investment. Softness
in the iron market is regarded as an
important index Of tendencies of gen.
eral industry.

Hypocrisy Of Socialists and Anger at

LONDON, Jan, 26.-The Berlin cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, In dis
cussing the German elections, says
that the revolt against Socialism can
only be attributed to the tardy popu-
lar realization that the party reeks
with hypocrisy, while the internal
dissension is manifested at the annual
congress and has driven away thou
sands Of voters who formerly sup
ported the party as the best means
Of expressing centure of the govern

MURDER MYSTERIOUS.
Prominent Physician Killed by Man
Whom He Recognized.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.--Declaring he
knew who shot him, but that he would
not reveal the identity of his murderer,
DR.. Chas. w. Townsend died early
this morning at a hospital from pis-
tol wounds inflicted by a man who
attacked the physician at his home in
fashionable section of New Brighton,
Staten Island. early yesterday. Mys-
terry surrounds the murder, but from
what meagre details the police have
gathered, they are inclined to the
theory that DR.. Townsend was the
victim Of man who sought vengeance
for some real or fancied grievance.
Two men were arrested and taken be-
fore the physician, a few hours before
his death but he declared neither Of
them was his assailant
DR.. Townsend and his wife were
awakened shortly before 4 o'clock Sat-
urday morning by suspicious sound
and moment later they were startled
vealed man holding match In one
hand and a revolver In the other. Lew
cling the revolver at DIR. Townsend,
the intruder ordered him to rise at
once. Then, without waiting a mo-
ment, he fired. The bullet grazed the
doctors body and buried itself in the
bedclothes. Another shot followed al
most Immediately and the bullet
entered the doctors abdomen and
pierced the intestines. A third bullet
lodged near the heart. The assailant
then fed. How he got out of the
house is not known, as every door
and window was closed when help ar
rived.
When Mrs. Townsend tried to call
assistance she' found that two of the
three telephone wires leading to the
house had been cut. The third, which
was in the Doctors office in the low
er part of the house, apparently had
been overlooked. Over this wire
servant in the stable was notified and
word given to the police. Despite the
lack of any apparent trace of the man
who fred the shots, the coroner ap-
pears satisfied that he will soon be
apprehended.

lives were lost today In connection
with the destruction by fire Of the
Cocheco Manufacturing Company's No.
mill in this city. Six hours after
the fire broke out II was announced
that the overseers OF the factory had
satisfied themselves that none OF the
employees were missing, Later, how
ever iremen found In the ruins the
bodies Of six boys who had been EN-
ployed In the mule room. Nearly ev-
cry one Of the bodies had been burned
beyond hope of identification.
The financial loss is estimated at
between 100000 and 100000. The

broke out after the 500 operatives had
begun work and spread rapidly. Sew
eral OF the workmen and women
Jumped from windows sustaining in
jurles. Others were taken from the
windows In the upper stories Per-
sons thus rescued reported that some
had been overcome by smoke and the
tiremen Immediately began a search
which was without result until the
flames drove them out. Meanwhile Of
ficials OF the mill are trying to To-
cate all employees,
James Connors, who with four 9TH
ers was carried down an extension
ladder from the fifth floor, reported
that as he groped his way TO the win
dow he stumbled over PROSTATE forms.
Two of the men who jumped from the
fourth floor were taken to the hospital
seriously injured and dozen Of the
others were treated for less serious in
juries, The most seriously hurt:
William Turner, mule spinner,
broken hip.
James Ashton, mule spinner, legs
broken.
The fire started from a hot box in
the spoolroom, and before the en-
ployes could make any effort to eX-
tinguish 1t the flames spread to the
spinning room and swept through the
big mill.
There were no re-escapes and the
panic stricken employees made a wild
rush for the exits. Those on the low
or floors generally managed to get out
through the doors or windows, but
those on the fourth and fifth floors
were not so fortunate. Employees on
the fifth floor rushed to the fourth
floor in large numbers, and finding
that smoke and flames cut off their
exit down the stairways, many leaped
from the windows to the ground.
While the firemen were busy getting
their forces into an advantageous po-
sition for fighting the flames and help
ing out the people on the lower floors,
four men .crouched at an open window
on the upper floor gasping for air for
nearly two hours before they were
discovered. An extension ladder was
raised, but the imprisoned men, near
ly unconscious from the smoke did
not dare venture upon 1t until flremen
went to their assistance.

Important to the Advance.
ment of Schools of
New Mexico.

Santa Fe, Dec. 4,-Dear Friends:
The New Mexico Territorial Educa-
| tional association will meet at Santa
Fe, December 26. "a and 2S. An
excellent program is being prepared
and it is desired by all interested
in the advancement of educational
conditions in our territory that all
county superintendent of schools,
who can possibly do so, attend this
meeting. Practical questions in
teaching and school management will
be discussed by the best school men
and women of the territory and
urgently request that you come to
this meeting and that you do all in
your power to influence the teach
ers in your county to come with you.
Chapter 81. section 26, session laws
of 1907, provides among other things
that teachers shall be paid full
wages during the holiday vacation,
not to exceed fifteen days. 1t will
be well for you to call the attention
of your teachers to this one general
educational meeting of the year.
Teachers cannot attend the meeting
of this association without profit to
themselves, to the children under
their charge, and TO the educational
spirit of the community in which
they work.
Farmers meet in annual conven-
managing their farms; stockmen give
a large amount of time to the ex-
change of ideas touching the raising
of stock; fruit growers frequently
meet to discuss their experiences
which have improved the quality and
increased the quantity of the crops;
manufacturers conventions, medical
conferences, and mercantile excur-
sions are universal. Why should not
the teachers who are managing the
most vital interest be alert to every
opportunity that may improve the
results of their work. What Is more,
why should not the county superin-
tendents of schools who are the
leaders of the large corps of teach
ers in our counties attend these
meetings in order that they may by
exchange of ideas and discussion of
important questions secure help
which will enable them TO be of as
sistance to the teachers and boards
of schools directors in improving the
local schools.
Tho question of statehood will no
doubt be before congress in January
and if we can show to congress that
the personnel of the New Mexico
teaching corps is of the best quality
and that the professional interest Is
all that one could expect in any of
the best states of the union, the point
worthiness as applicants for state
hood.
l would especially call your atten-
ton to the fact that a county super
intendents' section OF the educational
association has been organized and
1t is at the meeting of this section
where the questions Of most vital in
terest to the county superintendent
are discussed. Programs will be for
warded within a few days.
Sincerely trusting that every coun-
ty superintendent and many teachers
from each county will be in attend
ance at the twenty-second annual
meeting of the New Mexico Educa-
tional association at Santa Fe, and
expressing my appreciation of the in
terest which you have shown in our
school work during the present year,
I am,
Yours most sincerely,
J. c. CLARK.
