TENNIS CLUB PLANS
SOME TOURNAMENTS
Courts Have Been Fixed Up Near
Park and Much Interest Is Be-
ing Taken.

About twenty-five of the Smart Set
of Albuquerque have banded together
an. formed a tennis club. Grounds
have been prepared opposite Robin
son park, and all is now in readiness
for the opening game. The organiza-
tion is headed by r. II. Collier, who
Is doing all in his power to see that a
success is made of the venture. A
small sum of so cents is charged per
month for membership dues, which
will be set aside for the keeping up
of the grounds and minor expenses,
while $40 will be the initiation dues
for gentlemen and SIS for ladies. The
club promises to be well received In
this city and as soon as the nets ar
rive the first game will be played. The
grounds have been made large enough
for the accommodation of two courts
ana 1t is the intention Of the man
agement to have tournaments Just as
soon as the members get into form.
A tennis court is something new In
this city and judging from the enthus-
iasm that is being evinced among the
members, there is no doubt but that
1t will be a huge success.

VENEZUELA COURT FINDS
FRENCH COMPANY
GUILTY
Fine of Five Million Dollars
Assessed Against Cable
Company for Its
Activity.
SAY FRENCH WERE
BEHIND REVOLUTION
Claim Is Made That Matos Was
Financed by High officials
Through the Cable Company
In Return for Expected
Benefits.

Caracas. Sept. 3.-After more than
three years of legal procedure tha
civil court of the first instance Of
Caracas has delivered Judgment In
the sensational case of the French
Cable company. By the decision Of
the court the company Is found guilty
of completely In the Matos revolution
OF 1908 and a fine of s5,000.000 has
been assessed. The company is also
fined for other damages.
The trial has been even more
startling than that against the New
York and Bermudez Asphalt COM
pany, which also resulted in a fine
of $5,000,000, because 1t reached far
beyond the high officials of the Cable
company in Paris.
The allegation was made by Vene-
zuela that the French government it
self extended support to General Ma
tos in his revolution, such support oe-
ing given through the Cable company.
While not being able to openly
espouse the revolution Castro has
claimed that the French government
aided financially and secretly gave
support in exchange for benefits
which the Cable company and
through 1t the French government
would have received had the revolu-
ton organized by General Matos been

PUSH CONSTRUCTION
OF new MEXICO CENTRAL
President Law Confers Today With
Officials at Santa Fe Regarding
The Work.

Robert Law, president of the New
Mexico Central, spent a few hours in
Albuquerque yesterday evening, leav-
ing during the night for Santa Fe,
where today he will confer with Of
ficials OF the merged roads. Col. w. s.
Hopewell went to Santa Fe today to
attend the conference.
The construction OF the Central Is
to be pushed rapidly from now on,
the first carload OF machinery having
already arrived at Moriarty. The at
tention of the construction force will
be centered on the Hagan line, the
idea being to complete this part OF
the road and secure the large tom
mage Of coal which the mines there
will give when transportation Is fur
nished. 1t is not planned 10 begin
the construction of the Albuquerque
end OF the line until later.
The recent sale OF bonds provides
sufficient funds with which to prose-
cute the work and at the same time
shows the favor In which the new
road is being held by eastern cap
italists to whose attention It has been
brought.

chief feature of the exhibit. The chief
raisers there are Taylor & Lockwood,
McGregory & Son and Mrs. Armour.
The Armour goats are said to be the
finest in the world. Latham Bros,
sheep ralsers of Lake Valley, will
probably have an exhibit of fine
sheep at the exposition. A mineral
exhibit may be expected from Hills
boro. The Santa Fe Railroad COM
pany through Mr.. Bickford, notified
Hillsboro parties that it would trans

Hillsboro free of charge If 1t was de-
livered to them at Lake Valley. Hills
horo is IS miles from Lake Valley
Mr.. Bickford said that he had moi
heard whether the offer had been ac'
cepted but he thought that the people
of Hillsboro would not let such an op-
portunity escape them.

Until He Promises to
Settle Debts.

London, Sept. 3.-The British gov
ernment is holding aloof from Mulai
Hafid, the new sultan of Morocco, for
the present, but proposes to recognize
him In due time. The British officials
are irriated by the course adopted by
Germany. which Is regarded as an at
tempt to gain influence over and the
good will of Mulai Hafid by stealing
q march on the other powers.
Consultations are going on between
Great Britain, France and Spain. and
there is no doubt that the two former
will act together and probably insist
that Mulai Hafid give promises 70
carry out the obligations of Morocco
before they recognize him.
Germany Wonders.
Berlin, Sept. 3.-The action of Ger
3any concerning Morocco, it was ex-
A. .ained today, is limited to the sug-

ct as Well as County OFF,
GERS to Make Clean Sweep.
IRRIGATION PLANNED
FOR IMMENSE TRACT

Chas. V. Stafford, travelling territor-
lal auditor, arrived in the city last
night for a visit to his son, Edward
Stafford, assistant bookkeeper for The
Citizen. The latter is preparing to
enter the University OF New Mexico
and his father Is here making the
necessary arrangements.
While his official business compels
him to have his headquarters at Santa
Fe, Mr.. Stafford calls San Juan coun-
ty, in the northw estern part or the
territory, his home county. On a re-
cent visit there he found conditions
flattering In every respect, excepting
the fruit crop, which was damaged
by weather conditions. Regarding his
visit MIR. Stafford said:
conditions in san Juan county are
particularly good, and while the fruit
crop was practically a failure, other
crops were of the best. A large irrl-
cation project is under way which
within the next year will put $4,000
acres of the best land under cultiva-
ton. 1t Is expected that active con-
.
main canal during the month OF De-
cember next. There are also other
projects that during the next year
will materialize and will add as much
more to the already large acreage OF
irrigable land.
There Is a steady inow of people
from the northern and middle west
sections who have money to invest In
improved farms. This Is practically
the only class of newcomers in that
section.
while San Juan county is supposed
to be a Democratic county, the pros
poets for Republican success, not only
for the delegate and legislative ticket,
but for the entire county ticket as
well. were never better. The Repuo-
licans are In line and with no fac
tions, and the county ticket which Will
be nominated on the 18th will be par
ticularly strong.
THE county conditions are the best,
money In all funds and no floating
Indebtedness. Much attention during
the past year has been paid to public
roads and new bridges across the AMI
mas and San Juan rivers have either
been completed or are In course OF
construction. I still say that San Juan
ls one of the best counties In New
Mexico"
Mr.. Stafford was county clerk Of
san Juan county for four years ana

Field, Jr., of Chicago, was married
at Westminster registry office this
morning to Baldwin Drummond.

the Honorable Louisa Theodosia PEN
nington, who was a daughter of the
third Lord Muncaster.
1t has been rumored for some
months that Mrs. Field would wed
into the Drummond family, but while
the rumors gave rise to considerable
speculation as to when the event
would take place no formal announce
ment had been made of the engage
ment and 1t was not expected that the
marriage would occur before spring.
Drummond has been attentive to
Mrs. Field to the exclusion of all oth-
er interests and his devotedness to

comment. 1t has not been settled

the west have not forgotten the
great friendship of the Nebraskan
towards them in the past and
Bryan has q personal popularity
in the west that cannot be over

to the people OF the west, who
measure man by his real worth.
They size him up on his merits,
and Bryan meets their measure for
fearless honesty and force of
character. The freedom of the
west breeds people who admire
the fearless frankness OF men like
Bryan. They admire the man
who has opinions and dares to ex-
press them. There is dash and
daring about such characters
that inspires confidence and with
his added years Of experience
Bryan may be counted q safe man
to place at the head of a great
nation like this. The people OF
