FIREWORKS EXPLODE

Large Consignment Goes Up IN Smoke
Starting Two Fires at
Las Vegas.

Las Vegas, N. M. June 20.-(Spe-
ciaD-Young America, or at least
that part of him in the vicinity of
Robert Scruttons store this morning
was treated to an exhibition of Are
works that will probably surpass any
thing he will see on Independence
day. Also Old America was kept busy
for few minutes, lodging skyrOckets
and escaping from "nigger chasers"
when about $500 worth of fireworks
displayed in one of the store windows
went off, demOlishing the show win
dow and creating more excitement
than a jug of whisky at camp meet
ing.
Nobody knows how the combusti-
bles got afire but they all went off to-
Eether and took about half the con-
tents Of the store with them as far as
the middle of the street. The fireworks
cut up all kinds of maneuvers up and
down the street and 1t wasn't a min
ute until the vicinity was as deserted
as a graveyard al midnight. One
rocket went 200 yards and set fire to
the Gross Kelly warehouse.
Bucket brigades extinguished the
fire in the store and at the warehouse
and the town turned out and assisted
Scrutton to gather up his stock of
mercha ndise.

The reception held in honor of Judge
Edward A. Mann at the opera hous

in Socorro and the capacity of the

Judge Mann who in expressing his

emotion; by Billy Martin; by the
president of the Hispano Americana

Conference Today Discusses Hitch

paign but Taft Has Not Ex-
pressed Choice Crowds AS
Semble TO See Taft.

Cincinnati, June 20.-A hearty well
come home was given william IL. Taft
when he arrived here at ten minutes
to eight this morning. Half an hour
earlier the Chicago train brought the
vice presidential candidate, James 5.
Sherman, and a subcommittee of the
national committee, who are to con-
fer with Taft on plans for the cam
paign. Charles +. Taft was on the
same train with the subcommittee
and all waited the arrival of the
Washington train. Escorted by a large
number Of Cincinnatians, Taft and
sherman were driven at once to the
residence of Charles L. Taft where
they breakfasted.
About the Taft residence great
crowd assembled and the secretary
anu Sherman were cheered heartily
as they alighted from their carriage.
Both bowed acknowledgment, Taft
taking the opportunity to shake hands
with several old friends
The trip from Washington was un-
eventful, although at several places
along the line crowds assembled at
stations to get glimpse of the Re-
publican candidate.
The subcommittee, which accom-
panied sherman from Chicago, was
headed by the veteran, Powell Clay
ton of Arkansas, and included former
Governor Herrick of Ohio. Fyepk p
Kellogg of Minnesota, Charles Nagel
Of Missouri, Il. L. Hart of Iowa and
Senator Lowden of Illinois.
At the conference at Charles p.
Taft's house 1t will probably be de-
termined definitely who is to be ma
tional chairman in the campaign. II
Is evident from the discussion among
the members of the subcommittee
that they are nearly equally divided
on the question. Both Frank III.
Hitchcock, who managed Taft's pre-
liminary campaign from Washington,
and Arthur I. Vorys, his Ohio man
ager, have staunch adherents, but
sentiment has developed today in ia
vor of some man who has not been d.
rectly connected with the preliminary
campaign. 1t Is pretty certain, how
ever the committee will accept the
judgment of Taft II he chooses to an
nounce his personal choice. They ex-
pect he will express such choice al
though he has NOT yet given public in
timation on whom his choice will fall

planned that Mr.. Taft should deliver
speeches to the faithful who were ex-

VIII Play Ball While Touring japan

Detroit, Oct. 22.-That honeymoon
trip to Japan that Ty Cobb an
nounced at the time of his wedding
is no myth. though 1t necessarily will
be somewhat belated. Word has been
received from Mike Fisher, the San
Francisco manager, who is to plot the
team with which Cobb will tour the
Orient, that plans are completed and
that the schedule is practically filled.
Fisher has an agent who is going
over the ground, arranging dates and
money matters. This man is now in
Manila, having completed his work
in Japan some time ago.
Ten games have been booked with
Japanese mines at Toxic. Yokohama,
Kobe and Waseda university. The
team is also to make the Philippines
and Honolulu. Cobb says he expects
to visit Australia, though the team
will not go there. The party leaves
San Francisco early in November and
will return in February.
1t is a more of a California team
than an all-star nine, though it has
some major leaguers listed. Frank
Chance, Orvie overall and Bill Burns.
the Washington twirler, all Cal
ifornians, are on the team, and there
are several others from the Golden
Gate district. d. Donohue, the Bos-
ton catcher, who can also play Sec
ond base. will be on the nine. He
and Burns have played in Honolulu
and are cards there.

Madison. Wis, Oct, 22.-The out
look on the gridiron for 1908 is not
overly bright. This year there are
many difficulties to contend with, in
addition to the tendency of the pow
ers that be" to emasculate, if not
wholly annihilate, the more vigorous
sports, and Wisconsin has hard fight
on her hands this fall to make a show
ing. For two years, now, l have been
fighting odds against faculty and
board of regents largely Indifferent or
the fight are beginning to show This
year we place, great hopes in T. A.
Barry as football coach.
The university authorities have re-
stricted US to five games. This would
have been considered heavy sched-
ule, with Indiana coming so early in
the season, and Minnesota and Chicago
as the last two games, even last spring
when we expected that all of the team
who did not graduate would be eligible
to play this year. We have lost by
radiation six of our best men, and a
number of the remaining players have
a single condition to work off in their
studies, which, if thew do not pass the
special examination, will bar them
from the gridiron, according to the
conference regulation regarding back
work If many of the men are kept
out of the game by scholastic ineligi-
bility it is doubtful if we can make
a show which will be at all satisfac-
tory. The freshmen line this year was
unusually light, even for freshmen, and
it will be a very difficult matter TO find
men heavy enough toe take place in
the varsity line While the new game
has made a place for small men which
was not theirs before, still the team
which does not average up to $50
pounds on the line is liable to be in
considerable difficulty.
In the line we have left E. o. Stiehm,
p. ]. Murphy, John Messmer, F. E.
Boyle and Robert Iakisch, substitute
in 'O7. Back of the line the men who
played last year and who are still in
