school AppoRTIosMEN T

The June semi.anuual appor-
tionment of the interest and in
come fund TO the schools of the
state has just been made by the
state land department, sending
out $244, 0s3.8o This is nearly
500, 600 greater than the June
apportionment last year, and
while the number of pupils in
the state show an increase of
2700 In the year the per capita
of apportionment has increased
from 1884 to S2.43. On account
Of interest reduction rate from 9
per cent to 5 percent the income
from that source is decreasing
proportionately as the older
loans ut 6 per cent rate mature
and five per cent loans are made,
but the demand for leases OF
state lands are increasing, and
this increases the revenues.
While the second apportionment
will not be so great as the pres
ent one the total will be more
than % per capita on school
population for the year. The
apportionment for Charles Mix
county, which contains 1916
school children, is Ss,543.ao.

Sert innocence.

Chicago. Nov. 27.-A Special TO
the Tribune from Washington says
Moved bS a mothers tears and
pleadings, Ambassador Creel of Mex
leo, wired lasts'flght to Jose Marie
Sanchez, governor of Chihuahua
recommending that the sentence OF
DIR. Charles S. Earle, William Nit
chell and Leslie Hubert, Americans
who are condemned to be shot there,
be commuted to twenty years inn
prisonment.
The execution of the three men,
who were condemned for two muir
ders in connection with an insurance
fraud, had been set for December s.
Ambassador Creel, who is acting
governor of Chihuahua, but has no
authority to act while detached to
fill a diplomatic mission TO this
country, said that he felt sure San
chez would follow his recommenda-
tion.
An appeal to Creel was made by
Mrs Annie Earle. of Abilene, Tex
mother of DIR. Earle, after practical
ly every. other means of obtaining
clemency had been exhausted.
The three men, two of whom are
from New York, were convicted and
sentenced in 1895.
Numerous petitions in their behalf
have been received by the state de-
partment but as none asserted the
irnoncence of the men no grounds
could be found upon which to base
the claim.

New York, Nov. 27.--Never since
ships first sailed out Of the New

thing like the present exodus of emf
grants from This port.
Last week thirty thousand steer
age passengers were carried from
New York and this week the steam

was raised from $21 to $31 i'm hope
of staying the exodus. but without
avail.
For a week the stream has been
gradually going a rowing. Many of
those taking passage carry large
amounts of money with them, the
most part of 1t being gold.
Every outbound steamer Is loaded
to its fullest legal capacity. A great
crowd OF Italians fill Jane street in
front OF the Cunard pier, clamoring
for passage. The st. Paul sailed
with S27 fares. The California, of
the French line, had 1000 aboard.
The Caronla carried away 2,291 per-

Sumed Soon.

New York Nov. 27.--Former
Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M.
Shaw, president of the Carnegie
Trust company, returned to New
York yesterday from Chicago, where
he conferred with many bankers re-
garding the financial situation.
THE west has lost confidence in
the east" he said. "It will cost us
here millions of dollars before we
regain the prestige and the cordial
relationship of the past. Men out
west say that New York is respon-
sible for the financial stringency, and
that when squeeze came the banks
of New York resorted to clearing
house certificates first and forcd the
rest of the country to do the same.
"The bankers of western cities
have no love now for the bankers of
New York They had placed their
money on deposit here, but when
they asked for 1t they were refused
''They say that New York sought
to protect only itself" continued Mr..
Shaw, land tied up everything so
that all the rest of the country was
forced to adopt urgent measures to
save itself"

STOCK DEALER SAYS
BUYERS ARE HIT
HARD

Kansas City Mo-, Nov. al. s.
Neuman, an extensive stock dealer,
who makes his headquarters in Mon
tana, but who deals largely in all
parts OF the country at different sea-
sons OF the year, was a visitor at
the yards today. Mr.. Neuman has
just returned from a five wecss' stay
in New Mexico where he went TO
buy sheep. He says numerous sheep
buyers haW lost heavily owing TO
the big slump in prices and those
who had put up margins on sheep
and lambs are going out broke and
losing what they have advanced.
The same Is also true on cattle pur-
chases. Mr.. Neuman says II has been
almost impossible for a man TO buy
anything owing to the high prices
which owners have insisted upon
getting. He says the range Is bet
ter In New Mexico than II has been
for years owing TO good fall of rains.

N EXICO MILLIONAIRE
IS CURED OF
LEPROSY
Returns to America and the
Bosom of His Family
After Years of Exile.
MIRACLE WAS EFFECTED
aa OVER IN EUROPE

Ell Paso, Texas, Nov. 2T.-Juan M.
Bringas, the Mexico millionaire who
went to Europe a couple Of years
ago suffering from leprosy, has re-
turned to America and is cured He
was passenger on the private car
of a Mexican government official
through this city yesterday, accom-
panied by four daughters and the
daughter of the official on whose car
he rode.
Bringas passed through here about
year ago en- route to Europe In a
private car, segregated and alone ex-
cept uhe company OF his private ply
sician. He had to pay for the en-
tire furnishings of the car before he
could secure it--so they could be
burned-and when he took steam
er at Vera Cruz for Europe, he had
to put up the money to pay for the
furnishing OF his stateroom before
the officials would book his passage
After an absence of less than two
years, he returns home well and
completely cured, So much so that
the vice president of Mexico, an old
friend, risks having his daughters
travel in the same car with him and
visit at his palatial country home
near Guaymas.
Was Leper for Years.
For years Bringas had been a
leper and had spent money in his
native country on every known rem
edy, including a residence for many
months in the wild Yaqui country
where he sought cure from some
noted hot springs; but all to no
avail. For years he had not known
the touch OF the lips nor even the
hands of his dear ones and his fam
lily. like himself, had been ostracised
When they drove or walked out
their friends bowed TO them, but
never a handshake, for there was
the dread of the awful disease in
the family. a disease that has been
feared since the days of man began.
Bringas was a prisoner in his own
home and his own apartments, in
which he ate and lived alone. His
clothing was burned when soiled and
when ne touched anything I'm the
house except his own possessions in
his own apartment, IL was only with
rubber gloves.
Now he Is said to be a well man
and Is returning to his family and
his friends to enjoy his accumulated
wealth and mingle with the people
of his acquaintance whom ne was
compelled to shun or be Stunned by,
during all the years of his affiiction.
II he is cured permanently II
marks new era in medical science,
for leprosy has always been looked
upon as a disease incurable, that
slowly sapped away a life and never
loosened its grip once Il fastened up
on a human form.
Sr. Bringas owns a large hacienda
near Guaymas and a big mercantile
house in the city of Guaymas.

Roswell, N. M, Nov. 27.-In the
case of the Territory VS.. Nose Lewis

that the confession was drawn from
Lewis by undue influence, by bring
ing the wife of the murdered man
before him in his cell, in shackles,
and telling him she was accused OF
being an accomplice and unless he
exonerated her by telling the truth,
she would probably be made to suf-
fer the penalty.
