'WOMAN's PLACE

Pre- sident Gives
Views on Equal
Suffrage
MATTER NOT IMPORTANT
Believes Her Highest Useful
ness is as the Mother OF
a Family.

New York, Dec. 4.-The attitude of
President Roosevelt on the subject OF
Womans suffrage was disclosed today
at meeting under the auspices of the
National League of Civic Education OF
Women
A letter from the President was
read by Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott, edi-
tor of the Outlook, in the course of
an address in opposition to granting
the right to vote to women. DR.. Alb
bit said the letter was not written
for publication" nor for this occas.
ion
In the letter President Roosevelt
said:
Personally, I believe in suffrage,
but I am not an enthusiastic advocat-
or Of it, because do not regard it as
a very important matter"
He said he could see no special i'm
proyement in the woman question in
states which allow women to vote.
He believed that if women as a whole
wanted to vote they could easily Sc
cure franchise. However, he
thought woman's place was in the
home and that her highest useful
ness was as the mother of family.

of repeating the timber and stone act,

up by land spectators at low figures

was advocated at last nights session
of the conservation commission by

VERY REGRETTABLE
MISUNDERSTANDING
Allotted 1890 More Sheep on Saw
tooth Forest Than Were
Grazed Last Year.

Washington, Dec. A misunder-
standing which officers of the Forest
Service consider very regrettable, has
arisen in the state of Idaho in regard
to the number of sheep to be grazed
on the Sawtooth National Forest dur
ing the season of 1909, and it has
taken several long kilograms between
Governor Gooding and Clifford Pin
chot to explain matters.
Last year the total number allowed
was 34S,000, of which but 321 900
sheep were actually grazed on this
Forest. The allotment for the pres
ent season was 5000 or 1880 more
than actually grazed last year. In
anticipation of demand for range from
new owners, sliding scale was pre-
pared and the Supervisor was instruct
ed to reduce the large owners on the
basis Of this scale in order to provide
range for new applicants and other
persons entitled to share in its use
who did not use it last season. The
publication of this sliding scale has
been accepted by Governor Gooding
as an Indication that reduction has
been made in the total number of
sheep allowed.
In his last telegram Governor Good.
ing concludes by asking, "Have the
sheepmen of Idaho, from their figures,
not right to believe it is your inten.
ton to destroy their Industry" An
swering this the Forester says that,
The ten thousand limit does not
mean that large permits will be re-
duced to that number but simply pre-
vents increase by purchase beyond ten
thousand If Idaho sheepmen object
to protection of small owners in this
way | take issue with them.
"The Forest Service has worked con.
sistently and effectively for the perma-
nent prosperity of sheep industry
throughout the West by enforcement
of regulations necessary to protect
range and rights of others. Where re-
ductions are necessary for these pur-
poses they will be made. Idaho sheep
men have no justification whatever for
assumption that unnecessary reduc-
tions will be made or that Forest Serv-
ice is attempting to destroy their in
dustry."
There has been no further exchange
of views on the subject between the
woolgrowers and officers of the Forest
Service. Meanwhile the sheepmen OF
Idaho will go ahead and Craze $4,000
head of sheep on Sawtooth National
Forest, 1880 more than they grazed
last year and incidentally enjoy the
same prosperity that has been theirs
| in past seasons.

CARLOS GONZALES
GIVEN A HEARING
Judge McFie Presides Over PreIim-
mary Examination Of Taos Man
Charged With Murder.

On account of Judge John r. Nc
Fie's time being occupied the remain
der of the week with an important
land grant case and the witnesses in
the Taos county murder trial being
anxious to get home, it was necessary
for Judge McFie to hold an evening
session of court last night at his cham
bers in the capitol. Carlos Gonzales
of Taos, accused of the murder of
Evaristo Rivera was accordingly given
a preliminary hearing 50 that the wit
nesses could return home today.
1t was a sad procession that wend-
ed it's way in the gloom of last even
ing through the sloppy streets from
the county bastile to the capital, a
prisoner held on the charge of murder,
a widow who was to tell how her
brother struck down her husband, the
friends of the prisoner, the black
shawls of the senoras in keeping with
the gloom of the foggy night and the
general depression that pervaded the
entire company.
Shortly after o'clock court con.
vened. Assistant District Attorney G.
c. Catron presented the cause of the
territory and Attorney Charles A.
Spiess defended the prisoner. Pro-
bate Clerk George w. Armijo acted
as interpreter The prisoner pleaded
not guilty to the charge of murder in
the first degree. The details of the
murder ere drawn ou, and were sub
stantially the same as given in the
New Mexican of yesterday.
Mrs. Evaristo Rivera, widow of the
murdered man and sister of the prs-
oner, was the first witness examined
She told of the meeting to divide her
fathers property and of the quarrel
occasioned by a dispute over the car.
penter shop which lead to theA fatal
blow.
Juan F. Montoya, one of the men
chosen to assist in the division of the
estate, told in minute detail and at
great length the whole story Of the
days proceedings and tragically re.
hearsed the quarrel.
Juan B. Vigil, the other one chosen
to assist in the division, told the story
again.
DR.. r. P. Martin, who was called to
attend the injured man, described the
wound and gave expert testimony
This closed the case of the prosecu
tion The defense examined no wit
nesses.
Attorney Spiess spoke briefly, say
ing that he desired to present argu.
ments why the prisoner should be
allowed to give bond Owing to the
lateness of the hour, Judge McFie re-
manded the prisoner back to the coun-
ty Jail and decided to hear the argu-
ments of the attorneys at a later date
The witnesses having been exam
ined, were discharged and returned to
their homes today. This morning
they were given orders to obtain their
fees, as they needed this money in
order to return home. In fact, some
of them were unable to come to the
capitol withou' pecuniary aid from the

was sent to Taos
