SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE
COMING IN VERY SLOW.

The committee selected by the
Fourth Of July celebration movement
Ito solicit funds from the merchants,
professional men and others, reports
that subscriptions are not what were
anticipated and that many OF the bus
mess men, who would be the heaviest
gamers by having a celebration in
Santa Fe, are not giving as freely as
would seem right. Less than $4OO has
been subscribed but this has not dis
mayed the committee, which consists
Iof William Gregg and w. H. Kennedy.
The fact that some Of the stores have
given less than five dollars and that
a few saloons have followed suit Is
rather discouraging to the promoters.
A complete list Of those who have
subscribed and the amounts probably
will be printed in the New Mexican
the coming week.

The girls mother, Mrs. Lulu Largey

TORPEDO FAILS
TO SINK MONITOR
The Florida Withstands Explosion Of
Specially Charged Whitehead in
Naval Test.

Fort Monroe, Va, June 13.-Today
in Hampton Roads, the monitor Florl-
da, fortified with a watertight bulk
head, especially constructed and de-
signed to represent actual war con-
ditions, was fired into with an Ameri.
can Whitehead torpedo.
The object sought was to determine
whether this form of bulkhead, with
which all American warships will prob
ably be provided, can successfully with
stand the force of high explosive
torpedo, or in default of that, whether
the effect of the charge will be to
scatter destruction far and wide and
possibly sink the ship.
The Florida, drawing 13 IL feet of
water, was anchored in about fifteen
feet of water. Two hundred and twen-
ty pounds of gun cotton compressed in
the charge was carried by the power
full torpedo, which was attached to a
trolley wire to insure its hitting the
exact spot desired.
The trial was highly satisfactory.
The ship was seriously but not fatally
damaged and the injury done Is said
to have been largely localized. A
further test was made unnecessary.
This is the first time such test
was made in the history of the Amer
ican navy.

THREATEN TO

Situation in New York Assumes New
Phase-Bookmakers Suddenly

New York, June 13.-The racing sit

today when Assistant District Attor-
ney Elder of Brooklyn came out with
an open threat to close all tracks and
force the discontinuance of racing un-
less the efforts to place bets at the
tracks were Immediately discontinued.
IF the law is lived up to in letter
and in spirit" he said, the police will
raid every track and close it up just
as they would gambling place. We
have authority to do this and for a
precedent can refer to the case of
Delaney VS.. Flood, which was passed
upon by the court of appeals"
No Betting at Gravesend.
Gravesend Race Track, June 13.-
The police adopted strong measures
to prevent betting by any system what
ever at this race course this after
noon. More than 400 uniformed po-
licemen aided by a large number of
deputy sheriffs and detectives in plain
clothes kept everybody on the move,
not even permitting two men to stand
together on the lawn in front of the
grandstand. One bookmaker was or
dered to move on by a policeman while
standing by himself near the betting
ring. He refused to obey and was

$4,000 BLAZE
AT ALBUQUERQUE
Continental Oil Warehouse Destroy.
ed, Together With 100000 Gallons
Of oil, Gasoline and Naptha.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, June 13.-The
igniting of a small can of gasoline in
the storage warehouse of the Contin-
entail Oh company in this city at five
o'clock last evening, precipitated a
disastrous fire which destroyed the
entire plant of the company with the
exception of the Office building, de-
voured between $4,000 and 100000
gallons of coal oil, linseed oil and gas
oline and naptha and caused a loss var
iously estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000. The fire in spite Of the most
strenuous efforts of the local fire de-
partment burned all night before all
the intlammable fluids were destroyed.
The fire was the most spectacular
one ever seen in Albuquerque, explo-
sion after explosion of the big stor-
age tanks sending vast volumes of
inky black smoke and binding flames
hundreds of feet in the air. The first
and most terrific explosion occurred at
about 5:45 p. m., and only by a mir
acle did the hundreds of spectators
massed periously close to the blaze es-
cape with their lives. AS it was, a pam
ic resulted, dozen horses attached to
buggies bolted and number Of peo-
pie were painfully bruised. One girl,
whose name could not be learned last
night, stood so close to the fire that
her dress was burned half off of her
before bystanders extinguished it.
Happily she was not seriously burn
ed.
This is the third disastrous fire ex-
perienced by the Continental Oil COM
pany in the last three weeks, the first
one at Deming, Luna county, which
caused the death of the agent of the
company, being followed week ago
by similar blaze at Carlsbad.

Fighting tuberculosis The

on a Greater Than War"

Charlotte Observer: The Intcna-
tional tuberculosis Congress, which
has just adjourned at Washington to
meet next at Rome, is undoubtedly one
of the worlds greatest agencies for
good. 1t has as its object warfare upon
the worst enemy of mankind, vegeta-
bic organism visible only through pow
erful microscopes and yet the death of
millions year by year. The men who
organized this congress some years ago
are the men who have led not only in
discovering that the great plague is
spread only by germ infection and hence
is absolutely preventable but in max
ing that discovery known everywhere.
They also have n message that in many
cases cures can be effected by long,
determined fight, with sunshine, fresh
air, complete rest and nourishing food
as the chief weapons-the value of
agencies like the various tuberculosis
anti-toxins and mercury is still some
what problematical; but they rightly
lay chief emphasis upon means Of pre-
vention. 1t is as much to educate the
civilized world in this regard as to ex-
change ideas that the International

superintendents. Many of them are
competent and efficient men, sacrificing
themselves on the altar of an unappre-
ciative public, for their reward is con-
temptible. We ask 42 qualified men to
direct over 5000 teachers. to act as
guardians for 314,OOO children and to
keep and to disburse nearly 81, 800, ,OOO
we offer them an average salary of
1854, an insult to an efficient man! The
city of Greenville has convinced itself
that it is economy to pay its supern-
tendent 81, 800 year to supervise the
work of A teachers, while Greenville
county pays its superintendent 500 to
supervise 275 teachers. Sumter paws
its superintendent S2, 400 year to di-
rect 36 teachers; Sumter county offers
its superintendent 5000 to direct about
$50 teachers. 1t is source of wonder
why we have as many efficient county
superintendents as we have. All honor
to the competent man patriotic enough
TO serve his county on n contemplate
salary! But shame upon n people who
compel patriotism to crawl in the dust,
L know that We have some people
who claim that our schools are already
too much supervised. That depends
entirely upon what is meant by super
vision. If it means the constant med
ding in petty details. or the Jealous in
reference with teachers i'm matters con-
corning only themselves. or the insis-
tence upon teachers becoming cheap
imitators of fad-fiend superintendent,
then perhaps we have too much. But
if supervision means the readiness and
ability to assist the teacher, the power
to inspire her, the test to prune and re-
hood to sustain her land il usually
does), then dissent vehemently.
All over the State we have young men
and women who as teachers ought to
succeed, but who are failing because
they have no one to advise them and to
support them in the crucial moments
of trial. This is especially true i'm the
rural and village schools. Is it any
wonder that the young teachers flock to
the towns?
The rural schools must have better
supervision. Nearly 20 per cent of the
white SCI ool chilerdn of this state are
i'll the rural schools. They are entitled
to as good and as close supervision as
any other children. Proper supervi-
sion can not be given as long as we
multiply the one-teacher schools with
i5 pupils each, and permit Ithe popular
elections of supervisors at salary of
S6S1. On salary of 1854, what can q
county superintendent do toward the
supervision of $50 teao hers scattered all
over a county, in perhaps 100 school
houses?
Require that the county superintend-
appointed by n board and responsible
to that board, keep him i'm Office as long
as he is efficient, and pay him an ex-
pert's salary. We shall find the men
prepared to do the work. Then we
shall stop frittering away the school
fund, increase the fund, and we shall
get results. Sooner or later our people
are going to come to look at this mat
ter somewhat as did III on. John j. Me-
Mahan in his report for 1900.
