ROSWELL PLAYERS
PI EASE AUDIENCE

Captain Racket a thrilling come
dy-drama in three acts was put on
by local artists at the Majestic last
night for the benefit of the Roswell
Fire Department The attendance
was not good as it should have been,
but the audience was a unit in pro-
nouncing the play a great success.
One prominent citizen said after the
show: 'T went to donate fifty cents

the play, but the play was SO pleasing

The cast of characters was as fol-

Captain Robert Racket, of the Ma

Timothy Tolman, the man who
married for money, C. C. Smith

Every character was well repre-

any way the nature of the interview
but it is presumed it touched upon
the financial situation.
A rumor gained currency that the
President has prepared an important
letter bearing upon his attitude TO-
ward railroad corporations. The ru-
NOR further asserted this letter has
been talked over between the Presi-
dent and Speyer and that the senti'
ments therein had met Speyer's ap-
proval These rumors could not be
confirmed. The president, it is said,
mas memoranda concerning his atti-
tude upon the railroad situation,
which he has shown to some friends
but Secretary Loeb said it would
not be made public. Following the
visit of Speyer today the President
talked with Senator Crane, of Massa-
chusetts and it is not believed that
Financial and railroad situation was
discussed.
President Mullens, of the New Ha-
ven Road has telegraphed to the
White House, asking for an interview
with the President. He will be here
Tuesday. Mullens is one of the four
railroad officials mentioned by Nor
gan after mis- interview with the
President last Monday.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, March 16, 1907
Yesterday afternoon the committee
on counties and county lines report
ed on Foraker Garfield, and Pyramid
counties. The first two were recon-
mended and the third one favorably.
Foraker and Pyarmid passed and Gar
field was defeated, not for lack of
votes, but by the friends of the mea-
sure becoming demoralized. One of
the best pieces of legislative manipu-
lation of the session was accomplish
ed in securing the hanging up of
the Artesia County report. The re-
port was to have been. favorable and
there were votes enough in the
House to pass it, but just before the
report was to have been made Null
nation and the result is the sure de-
feat of the proposed County of Arte-
sia. In all probability it will not be
reported this session.
At the night session of the House
some twenty bills were considered.
A bill was passed allowing litigants
to select their papers in which Pub
lication may be made. The Educa-
tional bill was passed with a few
minor amendments. 1t will pass the
Council. An exemption law was pas
sed, also one regulating the appoint
ment of Road Supervisors. Moran,
(democrat,) having voted during the
day against the bills of Holt, that
leader recalled the dental bill and
had it killed, the measure being one
in which Moran was interested.
The special committee ilvestigat-
ing the charges against Hagerman is
