ABOUT THE HoLD-UP OF
cURRY,S NOMINATION.

Ell Pas Daily News.
The situation in New Mexico is not
clarified by any means by the action
of the senate committee on terrific
ries in holding up h nomination of
Hon. George Curry to be governor of
that territory.
1t indicates that the faction of tAe
Republican party in the territory
which is feeling the heavy hand of
the administration is not without il
duence and power at Washington.
1t likewise indicates thai Governor
Curry's energetic efforts to "fx"
things over there have not been the
shining success the administration
had hoped and looked for.
1t also indicates that the split in
the Republican party is serious
and the differences more irreconcila-
BILE than even the Democrats had
hoped for.
1t is to be presumed that Governor
Curry's appointment will be finally
confirmed, although the confirmation
may De long USldyOu. 1Hdt, AOW6NSl
will not deprive Il Democrats OF
New Mexico of the advantage that
will be theirs through the Republi-
can split.
To those who desire statehood for
New Mexico the opposition to Gov
ernor Curry, a man very much to be
admired, is ~regrettabIe in hat it will
initiate against the early admission
of the territory into the union, be
cause it will be regarded ~as added
evidence of the unpreparedness of
the people for self-government and
adds dignity to what has heretofore
amounted to nothing more than a
scandal.
That the holding up of the nominal
ton of Governor Curry is due entirely
to the war between factions in New
Mexico is proven by the notable fact
that United States Attorney Leany's
nomination will, according to a mem
Der of the committee, be Immediately
reported favorably. Which is further
evidence of the strength of the feud
now on.

To the Mayor and City Council o
Roswell. New Mexico.

Roswell, New Mexico.
Gentlemen: In view of the fact
that there is an idea among
certain members of the Council as to
my holding on what is a quorum; and
the number of votes required by your
body to pass an ordinance, 1 deem it
proper to state in a written opinion
my views on the subject, in d
that | may not be misunderstood.
Rule "a of Council Rules reads: "A
quorum shall he a majority of the
members of the Council" My opinion
is that this rule c~oltemplates a ma
jority of the members elected, and
not the acting members of the Coun-
Gil.
In McQuillin Municipal Ordinances.
in speaking of a legal quorum it is
said, Ordinarily the whole member
ship of the body is to be counted.
Thus where the seat of a mem
Der becomes vacant by resignation, or
by removal of an Alderman from the
ward for which elected, it is error
merely to coun the remaining menu
bers in making up a quorum. Citing:

Il have not been allowed to go

the fact that my physician has told
me that there is no danger of
diphtheria any more. I have ap-
pealed without result to the board
of health. Seven times have / call

when the health board would
not raise the quarantine l went to
the mayor and was sent by him
back to the health board. l can
cite an instance where one family,
down with diphtheria, made bread

them out and sold them"
The council, like the mayor, sent

SPENCER STAYS
IN PRISON

Ed Spencer, the waiter who muir.
dered Ella Mundt, the domestic in
the Schulein household, here four
years ago, has been turned down
by the state supreme court in his
appeal from a decision of Judge
Brent of Walla Walla, upholding
Gov. Mead, who ordered Spencer
back into the penitentiary for
breaking the terms of his parole.
Spencer's crime was the most re-
voting in the annals of the city.
Ella Mundt, a comedy girl of 10, re-
fused him her hand in marriage.
He secured a revolver, went to the
Schulein home and shot her
through the heart, then turned the
weapon upon himself. The shot
through his left lung laid him up
in the hospital for several weeks.
On his recovery he was sentenced
to only 10 years Imprisonment
At Walla Walla he was taken
down with consumption. His rela-
tives are wealthy. In the course
of time Gov. Mead, appealed to by
friends and attorneys, released the
murderer on parole. One of his
first acts was to get drunk. He
was reprimanded and got drunk
some more. Finally he married a
Walla Walla waitress and a few
days afterward was put in Jail for
beating her. For this offense the
governor ordered the parole ter
minated.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Miss Gulia
Morosini, the best dressed woman
in the United States, whose novel
and dazzling costumes have caused
all New York to sit up and take
notice, refuses to be built upon the
straight lines as decreed by
fashion.
This social leader, with an an
nual expenditure of 100000 for
wearing apparel, tells me that she
sees too much beauty and grace in
symmetrical curves to adopt the
new figure as designed by fashions
dictators. she proposes to take
liberties with the pronounced
styles and strike out or modify fea-
lures not meeting her approval,
Miss Morosini has just placed an
order for three gowns, any one of
which will exceed in value her ia

gowns are being built on the prin-
cess lines, a style to which she is
extremely partial.

1907 fall styles. She directed me
to view her new gowns. "In them, y
she said, you will find my idea"
The most fabulous creation, the
cost of which is little less than
$1,000, is a combination of baby

BREMERTON, Wash, Oct. O.
Immediate organization of Pa
cifc Coast Navy league, the object
Of which shall be to work for big

waters, is being agitated here.
The chambers of commerce of
Seattle. Tacoma, Everett, Belling-

Oakland, Fresno, Los Angeles and
San Diego will be at once asked
to take hold of the idea and boost
ii along.
II is hoped British Columbia,
Mexico and the Paclnc coast states
of South America will also be-
come interested.
N. E. Nye, of the Bremerton
board of trade, who originated the
idea, is anxious that the league be
organized in time to arouse the
coming congress into action.
Nye argues that the movement
should be doomed as much by in
land cities of Washington, Oregon,
and California as by the strictly
coast cities. inasmuch as the bene-
