$4,000 FOR FEDERAL
BUILDING AT ROSWELL
Albuquerque Secures an Increase Of
$4,000 for Its Edifice-Las Vegas
Is Left Out.
Special to the New Mexican.

Special to the New Mexican.
Washington, April 27.-In the appro.
priation bill for public buildings which
has been introduced in the House and
is being considered by the committee,
there is an item appropriating $780,
900 for federal building at Roswell,
Chaves county, and another item in
creasing the appropriation for the
purpose of constructing another story
on the federal building at Albuquer.
que 100000. If the public building ap-
preparation bill passes 1t is believed
these items will remain. They were
put into the bill by Delegate w. II.
Andrews who was strongly and ably
assisted by Governor George Curry in
the work.
An item for an appropriation for a
federal building at Las Vegas of
100000, was stricken out by the
committee against the vigorous pro-
tests of Delegate Andrews and Gov
ernor Curry. The item read in the
first place. "appropriating the sum OF
100000 for a federal building at Las
Vegas 1t is a rule to make no ap-
preparation for federal buildings at
any towns but county seats. Las We
gas is the county seat of San Miguel
county and not East Las Vegas. How
ever, many letters and protests from
citizens of East Las Vegas were re-
ceived by the committee and argu-
ments were made by prominent Las
Vegans before the committee to put
the federal building at East Las We
gas. In accordance with the existing
rule the committee could not and
would not do SO.
If the citizens of the two towns get
together Delegate Andrews thinks
that he can get an appropriation
through during the short session, but
unity and harmony must prevail
among all the citizens there. The en-
tire southeastern section Of New Mex
leo favored Roswell for the appropri-
alton, namely $l30,000 and that help.
ed the case there a good deal.
Delegate Andrews has an item Of
$4,000 in the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill to provide for the payment
of extra employees of the legislature.

MARITIME DISASTER
CLAIMS 20 LIVES
Sinking OF British Cruiser Gladiator a
Blow to English Navy-Accident
Unavoidable.

London, April 27.--The total nun
Der Of dead and missing of the Glad
iator's crew as a result of the collis.
sion on last Saturday between the
American liner ST. Paul and
the British cruiser off the Isle OF
Wight, Is twenty-eight. The admiralty
has issued revised list of the names
of the Gladiator victims, which in.
cludes an additional death in the hos.
pital, bringing the total deaths known
up to five. Twenty-three men are
missing, according to the list, and six
are suffering severe injuries. The Sec
retary Of the admiralty expresses fear
that there are still eight others miss
ing. but is unable to give the names
as yet. Divers yesterday searched part
of the sunken cruiser for bodies, but
were unable to find any.
The opinion among shipping men
and naval officers and officials appears
to be unanimous that the accident was
unavoidable, being one of the chances
of the sea which all seamen must risk.
There will be the usual naval court
and an inquiry by the board OF trade.
The officers of both ships refuse to
discuss the affair until after they have
given their testimony officially.
All witnesses Of the disaster agree
practically that both crews behaved
as we'll as possible.
Coming so soon after the loss of
the torpedo boat destroyer Tiger,
which was sunk by the cruiser Ber-
wick off the Isle of Wight on April
last, thirty-six men being drowned, the
sinking of the Gladiator is severe
blow to the British navy.

FROST KILLS

Santa Fe valley this year, the unusual.
ly low temperature Sunday morning
and again this morning having killed
all the early varieties.
Following a warning sent out by
the local observer on Saturday the
orchardists hastily built smudge fires
in the hope Of saving their trees.
These were started at the proper time
but just when they were needed, there
was sudden shifting of the wind
which blew the smoke and heat in an
opposite direction from the orchards.
Many varieties of early fruit were
we'll formed, varying in size from a
small pea to a medium sized marble.
These were frozen during the low
temperature between midnight Satur-
day and 7 o'clock Sunday. The tenn
perature remained between "a and 2G
degrees for several hours and no un.
protected buds or fruit could have
withstood the protracted freeze. The
lowest temperature was 236 degrees
about five o'clock Sunday morning
During last night the temperature
dropped to 259 degrees, reaching the
lowest point about a. m. All peaches
cherries, apples, pears, plums and
other early fruits were destroyed, but
1t is believed that the late bearing
varieties are not injured.
The destruction of most of the fruit
In the Santa Fe valley will be keenly
felt, not only in a financial way but
by the scarcity of fruit, the crop hav-
ing been entirely destroyed a year
ago. The freeze during the last two
mornings probably means financial
loss Of fifteen or twenty thousand dol
lars to Santa Fe orchardists.
The extent Of the freezing weather
and consequent destruction OF crops
in other localities Is not known at the
present writing. but it is probable
that the freezing temperature extend
ed south to the central valleys Of the
Territory. 1t is known that the trees
in the Espanola and other northern
valleys were in bloom and 1t is quite
probable that the fruit crops were de-
troyed In the northern valleys also.
