WOMEN UsHERs PRAISED.

All Proved Their Worth at the Man.
haitian Before the Curtain Rose.
If there was any doubt in the
minds of Mr.. Hammerstein or his ep-
era subscribers that the twelve young
women ushers at the Manhattan
would not prove to be success, it
was dispelled long before the curtain
went uD.
Not one of tn young women in the
had been drilled for weeks in order
that they might know the location of
every seat, ever made mistake, and
the sadeince was seated with no con-
fusion or delay. Miss Erna Stagg,
the head usher, was here, there and
everywhere, and the twelve young
women, instead of having 'stage
fright" entered into their work with
a promptness that was refreshing to
see and decidedly satisfactory to the
audience.
An old opera goer, who evidently
had not heard that there were to be
women ushers to guide him to his
seat, looked mystified at first, and
When young WOmdH III Hooe uhi
form stepped up and took his coupons,
he said:
Here! Here! Wait until the
usher comes, and he'll find my seat.
Then every one laughed gently at
the opera goer's chagrin when the
. young woman said sweetly:
81 am the usher-the men have
given away to the new woman.
There were few seat coupons mis-
trusted, but with no difficulty the
women, soon Strengthened out this tan
gle, and at the intermissions between
clouds of smoke in the smoking room
the opera goess said:
well, those women ushers may be
a novelty, but they're all right.

New Baca County Survey Stops
Filings

Prowers Co. News:
Townships 81 to 35, and range
Al to 80, inclusive, in Baca coun-
ty will be withdrawn from entry
until the new survey can be COM
pleted which will require nearly
one year to do the work.
Filings will be received until
the local land office at Lamar can
complete the abstracts of entries
in the territory effected. The
abstracts will probably be COM
pleted by the latter part Of this
month.
The territory embraced in the
order aggregates nearly a million
acres OF the most fertile land in
the state. Dry farming has
been more extensively used in
this county than in any other
part of the state, and it has been
wonderfully successful.
When the new surveys are
completed, there will be a scram-
bic for this desirable land by
eastern home-seekers.
The above order does not affect
that part of Baca county lying
north of township 81 which is
not included in the resurvey but
is equally as good as the portion
withdrawn.

COURT REFUSES
BAIL TO MORSE
NEW YORK FINANClER MUST
STAY IN JAIL
Convicted Plunger Under Fifteen
Years Sentence Has but One
LoophoIe Left, in Bill
of Particulars
rny Associated Press.1

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Bail was de-
MED Charles w. Morse, the financier,
who has been sentenced to fifteen
years imprisonment at hard labor, at
the closing of the United States civ
cult court Of appeals today, and it now
seems certain that the former multi
millionaire must remain in the Tombs
prison at least until December 8 next.
when argument on the writ of error
that has been granted him may come
up.
Judges Lacombe, Ward and Cox of
the federal court of appeals rendered
the decision late today. One loophole
is left open to Morse's counsel in the
decision, and that is that the judges
decided that, while bail was denied, it
was done without prejudice to re-
newal of the application after a bill
of particulars is filed"
The judges stated briefly that as the
trial judge in the proceedings against
Morse had refused to admit him to bail,
the reviewing judges were not pre-
pared, on the papers submitted to them
to make a disposition of the motion.
Morse Was Hopeful
Morse had been hopeful of gaining
his release from the Tombs today, and
the denial of bail came as a hard blow.
His wife and son, Harry, had been with
him in the Jail during the afternoon
and encouraged him in the belief that
he would be free by nightfall.
Mrs. Morse and her son left the prison
before the decision had been rendered,
and the news was conveyed to the
prisoner by an assistant in his counsers
office.
While Morse tried to hide his dis
appointment, he felt too cast down to
do so. He walked to the rear of his
cell and sat on the edge of his hard.
narrow berth and refused to make any
comment.
Judge Hough gave as his reason for
refusing to admit Morse to bail that
the case was not an extraditable one,
and that it would be easy for Morse
to provide bail through bonding conf
pany, as the prisoner was worth $22,-
100000 -,
1t is said the Morse attorneys will
file a bill of particulars, as Morse is
exceedingly desirous of obtaining his
release"
