PLAN INVASION

CAUSES CONSERVATION
Success Would Increase Re-
presentation in Congress
From Those States.

New York, Aug. 2S.-Some of the
plans Republican politicians in the
South are making to increase the Re.
publican representation in Congress
from their states were made known
TO Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock yes
terday by visitors from Virginia, Ala
bama and Louisiana. The plan for
the invasion of the Solid South" was
outlined by Mr. Taft, the Republican
candidate for president, in recent
speeches and interviews in Hot
Springs. Virginia. He expressed the
opinion that the Republican national
campaign managers ought to try to
carry close districts and Mr.. Hitch.
cock concurs in that view.
Alvah II. Martin. member Of the
national committee from Virginia. and
Representative Slemp the state chair
man. conferred with Mr.. Hitchcock
and urged that an effort should be
made to carry three districts at least
in Virginia. These are the Ninth,
which Mr.. Slemp represents In Con-
gress; the Fifth, which was Democrat.
ic by only about hundred votes at
the last Congressional election, and
the Richmond district. Major P. d.
Barker. the national committeeman
from Alabama. declared that there is
a good chance to carry some of the
mountain or northern districts OF his
state, and F. b. Williams, state chair.
man for Louisiana. urged that fight
be made in certain Louisiana dis
tricts.
The announcement that Republican
speakers will be sent into the South
and determined effort made to car
ry the doubtful or close districts has
caused CONSERVATION among the Dem
ocrats, who heretofore have had only
local opposition. The popularity of
President Roosevelt and Judge Taft
in many of the southern states will
also go much towards helping the
Republican candidates to be elected.

BR0oDED OVER CONDITION
Ell Paso Young WomanEnded
Life in Chicago By Jump
ing Into Lake.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.--It became known
today that Miss Field Verne, who
committed suicide by walking into
Lake Michigan at the foot of Fifty
sixth street yesterday, was despon-
dent because of illness. which was
largely imaginary, and that prevented
her from marrying her devoted
sweetheart. A sarch Of her room dis
closed a brief farewell message to her
father and to the man she had hoped
to marry, George Mansfield, travel
ing salesman of Ell Paso, Texas.
The girl graduated from a private
seminary in FL Paso and her health
broke down from over study some
months ago. Since the death of her
mother some ten years ago, the
young woman, who had just passed
her twenty-first birthday, spent most
of her time with her sister, Mrs. F..
French. at Ell Paso. 1t was there sew
eral years ago while attending school
that the girl fell in love with Mans
field, whom she met. Relatives approx.
ed the marriage, but prevented the
wedding ceremony from taking place
last spring because of the mental con-
dition of the girl. This it is said ag-
gravated her ailment
In the hope that change might i'm
prove her physical condition, she was
sent to another sister, Mrs. Volney
Bryan at Louisville, Kentucky. Snbse-
quently she went to another sister in
Richmond, Virginia. Eight weeks ago
her father decided she ought to come
to Chicago. For a time she got along
nicely, but later began brooding over
her postponed wedding and this end
ed in her ending her life.

lists for the purpose of constructing a
railroad from Cimarron, Colfax coun-
ty, to Amistad and Central City, in
Union county and ultimately to Nara
Visa. in Quay county.
H. s. Wanamaker, of Amistad, who
is the principal stockholder and gen.
eral manager of the new corporation,
was in the city today on business con.
nected with the new railroad.
This company is capitalized at three
million dollars, divided into 10000
shares of the par value of $1O0 each.
OF the capital stock $13O,OO0 has al
ready been subscribed and the work
of grading will begin at an early date
The surveys for the road have been
made and everything is now ready
for the work to begin, and the compile
ton of the road will be pushed for.
ward rapidly from now on.
The incorporators of the road are
as follows: Jay M. Cogan, of Canton,
Ohio, 500 shares; Del w. Harrington,
of Dalhart, Texas, $50 shares; Ben 0.
Boyce, of Amistad, New Mexico, $50
shares Charles J. Bushnell of Beech.
am. New York, 2 shares; G. A. Macy,
10 shares, M. Weimer, shares.
Charles Cogan, 10 shares, all of Amis-

shares:SW. A. Schuler. 10 shares, j. e.
Buskirk, 10 shares, L. D. Chambers, 10
shares and H. s. Wanamaker, 26
shares, all of Amistad.
The head Office Of the new road is
to be maintained at Amistad with H.
s. Wanamaker as general manager
The right-of-way has been secured for
the line most of the way.
The new road will traverse one OF
the richest farming and mining sec.
tions in the Sunshine Territory and
no doubt 1t will be paying invest.
ment from the start. The hauling OF
coal from the rich coal beds in the
Cimarron section in Colfax county,
will be boon to the new road, as
we'll as the freighting of products OF
the farm, which are raised in abund.
ance in the sections of Colfax and
Union counties through which the road
will run.
Amistad although but year old
and an inland town, today has a pop.
ulation of five hundred progressive
people and the town is growing very
fast. No doubt with the advent of a
railroad it will become one of the
principal marketing points in eastern
New Mexico. The country around Am
istad and Central City is very produc.
tive and all the available land within
radius of several miles of these two
towns has been taken by homeseekers
from the eastern and northwestern
states. The newcomers have erected
substantial homes and improved their
lands and today there is as much land
under cultivation and as good crops
raised in that vicinity as anywhere in
eastern New Mexico, not excepting To-
calities which have been settled eight
years previous to that Of the Amistad
country. u, AK

HAINES BROTHERS
HELD FOR MURDER
Bound Over at Preliminary Hearing
to Grand Jury Without Bail For Kill
ing Of William e. Annis.

New York, Aug. 2S-Captain P. c.
Hains, Jr., and his brother, T. Jenkins
Hams, were today held without bail
to await the action of the grand jury.
Captain Hams, who shot and killed
William f. Annis at Bay Side, Long
Island, nearly two weeks ago, and his
brother, T. Jenkins Hains, writer
for magazines, who it is charged, held
the spectators at bay while his broth
er did the killing, were arraigned in
"a magistrates court in Long Island
City this morning on charge Of first
degree murder. T. Jenkins Hains is
accused of being an accessory to the
murder, while Captain Haines is alleg
ed to be the principal.
It is announced that counsel for Cap.
tain Haines will plead insanity as a
defense, together with the sensation.
al charges which the captain made
against his wife, involving an alleged
confession made by her of improper
relations she had with Annis.
1t is expected that counsel for the
brother will endeavor to have the
charges of being an accessory to the
crime against him, dismissed on the
ground that he took no actual part in
the killing and what he did do was
merely to protect his brother from
possible injury at the hands of the en-
ragged crowd who were gathered at the
beach,
