SPECIAL MESSAGE ON EN-

Washington, Jan. 31.-A special
message of the President to congress
on the subject of the Employers Liza
bility Act and injunctions in labor
cases was presented to the senate
few minutes after twelve o'clock to-
day. When Mr.. Latta, assistant secre-
tary to the President, entered the
chamber there were not a handful of
senators present. The Vice President
at once tore open the big envelope
containing the message and handed
it to the assistant secretary of tne
senate who Immediately began read
ing it. Printed copies of the message
were delivered by Latta and were dis
tributed to the senators present. Many
of them appeared to satisfy them
selves concerning the nature of the
message by scanning the printed doc
ument, so that before it's reading was
half finished were very generally out
or took up other matters, and only
few followed the reading carefully
until it's conclusion.

New York Jan. 31.-Today for the
second time, the fate of Harry X.
Thaw, the slayer of Stanford White,
went into the hands of jury of his
peers. The twelve jurors retired at
11:4 this morning, after listening to
the charge of Justice Dowling who
sought to impress them with the fact
that the burden to prove the sanity
of the defendant rested upon the
prosecution throughout the trial, and
declared that if from all the evidence
in the case the jury entertained a
defendant was entitled to the benefit
of that doubt At the same time he
pointed out the provisions of. the stat.
ute, which provides that the only per
bility are those who suffer from such
a defect Of reason as not to know the
nature or quality of their act or not
to know that the act is wrong. "Some
may hold that this is too hard a
test" commented the court, but it
is the law. 1t is clear. explicit and
reasonable. Mark you, the law says.
DEFECT OF REASON, and l instruct
you that defect of reason is not a
mere opinion he may have held as to
the justice or correctness of his own
acts, or an opinion that the laws of
the land are wrong. Hatred and re-
venge are not insanity-most crimes
are committed from just such motives
as these" AS the jurymen were leav-
ing the room they asked for all the
exhibits in the case. This fact is TAX.

STATE AND NATIONAL BANK
CLOSE THEIR DOORS

New York, Jan. 30.-Bank examin-
ers took active charge today of the
affairs of the New Amsterdam Ma
Traders Bank, state institution
both of which closed their doors.
Both of these banks were included
in the observation-disclosures chain of
banks, and after the closing of the
National Bank of North America a
few days ago there had been what
practically amounted to a run on them
both. They were unable to take up
their allotment of certificates which
the clearing house issued during the
stringency beginning in October, and
when renewed drain upon their re
sources began the clearing house de
clined to further extend their credit.
Fearing heavier Withdrawals today
the officials of both banks decided
last night to close. AS a result of the
closing several other banks not of
an important class, met with heavy
Withdrawals today. One of these was
the Oriental Bank, where quite a run
developed as soon as it opened All
depositors were paid promptly, and
President Hugh Kelly announced that
twelve other institutions had come
to the aid of the bank, and that he
hoped this would enable them to with
stand the drain. 1t is not anticipated
that the closing of the two banks
will have any effect on the general
banking situation of the city as both
were going through gradual Hquida-
ton during the last few months in
which discounts and credits had
been gradually reduced.

Editor Record: - Those whom
have heard express themselves against
the waterworks bonds seem 10 fear
that they will impose upon this com
munity a heavy burden of taxation.
If the proceeds of these bonds We're
to be used for a lon-productive pur-
pose, say for laying out parks. or i'm
provements of that nature, this posi-
tion might be well taken; but as they
are to become the capital for a busi-
ness enterprise. the building of a
plant and the furnishing of a commod-
ity to the people of Roswell, the
value OF the investment, whether it
will pay interest, can only be rightly
estimated by comparison with other
investments in the same community
along the same lines.
Now, there are two public service
corporations in Roswell furnishin 8
commodities to the people, which
may be used for comparison-The
Electric Light Company and the Gas
Company. Each one of these compa-
HES CiIItdi oti1t invest
ment approaching the amount of the
waterworks investment. However.
neither of these companies were able
to secure this capital at as low a
Commission will be able to do through
the sale of these bonds, and further
more each of these companies pay
taxes, which the waterworks will not.
Now the Waterworks Commission
will sell commodity, WATER, which
is a vital necessity to every person,
every home, business house and the
City itself. These other corporations
sell commodities that are only con-
veniences,-electric gas and ice
and which have to be urged upon the
people. 1t is suggested that the Wa
terworks Commission will nave to
meet the competition of our artesian
wells in many homes and that this
will be fatal to the success of the
waterworl1s enterprise; but these
other corporations nave to meet in
EVERY home the competition of the
oiu established ways of lighting and
heating-coal oil, coal and wood.
Now, these being the facts: with
every condition in favor of the water
works investment, as compared with
the investment in these other compa
nies, will some one kindly give the
reasons why this investment in water
works will entail heavy burden upon
us, while these other companies car
make both ends meet. 1 am Yours
truly,
L. X McGAFFEY.

haste to the Oklahoma block, where

burn down through the wall to the

fire was put out with little trouble
with the chemical extinguishers, but
had it ever reached the top of the
building where the stiff wind could
have famed it, the south end of town
