a magazine writer is attracting
public attention by showing the sort
of treatment Washington received
when he was alive and President.
He was covered with abuse by the
press and every act criticised. It was
predicted that his name would become
a household word for infamy.
Well. Abraham Lincoln was subject
ed TO the same dose Of vituperatiOn
all through the war. 1t is only the
small presidents and small public men
escape criticism from the American
nation.
They cover them with slime when
alive and celebrate their birthdays

ALAMOCORDO WANTS
BIG SANITORIUM M
Invites Locating Committee to Visit
Town and Look Over Proposed
Sites.

Judge John r. McFie of this city
who is a member Of the committee ap.
pointed to select the location Of the
proposed Presbyterian sanatorlum
which will be established at some
point In New Mexico, is in receipt Of
letter embodying the claims Of Ala.
mogordo.
Alamogordo's advantages as a place
for the location of such an institution
are forcefully described in the epistle,
and the committee Is invited to visit
the town to look at the proposed sites
which will be donated.
The locating committee is scheduled
to meet next week at Silver City
which is also making strong bid for
the sanatorium. The Silver City peo.
pie will pay the travelling expenses of
the members.
Several other cities are making an
effort to secure the location Of the In
stitution including this city, which has
agreed to donate any amount Of land
necessary and install to insure an am
pie water supply.
While the members Of the locating
committee are noncommital as to
where the sanatorium will be located,
they will be governed principally by
the climatic conditions, as the institu.
ton will be devoted to the treatment
OF tubercular patients.

CLERGYMAN FRIEND
OF THE SALOON
Favors Conservative Reform Instead
OF Drastic temperance Measure
Says Close DIsreputabIe Resorts.

Milwaukee. Wis, Jan. 3l.-That any
temperance legislation which over.
rode the wishes of the people, which
|partook of the character OF tyranny
had never succeeded and would never
succeed was the argument of the Rev
Thomas Edward Barr at the Peoples
Pulpit services at tho Pabst theater
when he took for his subject, Some
Phases Of Temperance Reform"
Moral reforms, he urged, could not
be effected by law, when not backed
by custom. He declared that Milwau-
kee, so widely heralded as "a wide
open town" was better city morally
than Boston, where the sale Of pocket
TASKS OF whiskey on Saturday to carry
the drinker over Sunday was classed
as appalling.
"Antagonistic restriction said the
speaker, "is as much as the lawless
saloon responsible for the evils Of the
traffic" He urged that the plea Of the
liquor manufacturer for cooperation
in the wiping out Of the disreputable
saloon be given careful consideration
and declared that the model license
law favored by the manufacturers was
the most drastic but the most pract-
ical plan of regulation yet proposed.

ALBUQUERQUE
SMALLPOX SCANDAL
City Physician Claims He Has Made
Heroic Efforts to Stamp Out Epi
demic Since Last November

That in Albuquerque there are US
Iually more or less Isolated cases OF
smallpox and that at is generally
known that an epidemic OF smallpox
has prevailed in Albuquerque since
the month Of November, 1907, are the
assertions made by DR.. c. II. earns,
city physician of Albuquerque, in a
communication in the Albuquerque
Journal in which he replies to the SEN
sational allegations Of mistreatment,
improper accommodation and lack. OF
attention during her detention at the
city pest house, made by Mrs. D. e.
Wilson. the wife Of an Albuquerque
dentist. The city physician denies all
these charges as far as they reflect on
him, but admits that he has urged
the city again and again to provide a
more suitable pest house. He explains
that the alleged charge OF 50 day
made patients, consisted OF 50 charged
by the city and which goes into the
city treasury, and 81 a day which goes
to the physician for making one, two
or more calls on the patient each day.
He also asserts that he has made hero
ic efforts to stamp out the epidemic
and that most of the cases originated
in lodging and rooming houses.

was placed in charge Of the bank. At
the time the closing was announced
there were seventy-five, depositors on
the outside waiting to withdraw their
accounts. Some Of them had been
standing for several hours in the ex

The troubles of the Oriental Bank
date from the failure of the Borough
Bank of Brooklyn to which the Orient
al had loaned $250,O0O. The Oriental
was compelled to use about $2,400,000
of clearing house certificates and when
the clearing house refused to issue
any more certificates to the Oriental

Twelve Banks Volunteered Assistance.
Twelve leading financial institutions
of the city volunteered yesterday to
assist the distressed institution to the
extent of 81 100000 cash, providing the
directors would become individually
responsible for the loan. A majority
of the directors agreed to this, but
there were some among their number
unable to do so and the plan failed.
The directors at meeting today de.
cided to place the affairs of the bank
in the hands Of the state banking de-
partment. Charles E. Levy, one of the
directors, announced that none OF the
depositors would suffer any loss as a
consequence OF the closing.

TYPICAL WILD
WEST EPISODE
New Mexico Ranchman Goes CUNNING
for Alleged Horse Thief-Captures
Him in FL Paso.

FL Paso, Jan. 9l.-An incident which
recalled vividly to old timers the
rough and ready days of the west
was enacted yesterday In front of the
City National Bank in this
city when James Mackey. a rancher
near Lake Valley, New Mexico, at.
tempted to arrest his cousin, Joseph
Mackey, alias Will Lamont, on a
charge of horse stealing, but was
stopped by policeman, because he
had drawn his gun.
The alleged horse thief when he
saw Mackey and the officer wrestling
for possession of the gun, start.
ed to run, but was arrested
"a few seconds later at the
zeiger hTr. In the scufIle and before
the officer realized the situation, the
pistol was discharged onto the cement
pavement, and P. r. Ward, a contrac-
tor who had stopped to witness the
fray, was struck on the lower lip by
a piece OF, the steel jacket of the bul.
let which tore through his lip and
lodged against his lower teeth. Two
stitches were needed to close the cut
on his lip, and he has the piece OF
the steel Jacket as souvenir Of the
occasion.
The arrival of the officer who placed
both men under arrest ended the
exciting scene which attracted a good
sized crowd. 1t Is likely that the al.
legged horse thief will be taken to New
Mexico to stand trial.
