PACKED HIS GRIP;
FELL DEAD FROM EFFORT

The exertion of packing in his valise
his few valuables in preparation to
moving from the Minneapolis mouse
on South Second street to the Sisters
hospital, caused heart failure in the
case of George Dahlgren who was
found dead yesterday afternoon by
Undertaken Borders. The man had
been visited an hour before his death
by DR.. Frank. The physician had
noticed his weak condition and ad-
vised him TO move to the hospital. A.
Borders was telephoned and when he
arrived at the Minneapolis house with
an ambulance the man was dead in
his room. A half filled valise lying
on the floor of the room showed that
he had started to pack his grip when
his heart failed. Dahlgren came TO
Albuquerque about two months ago
from st. Louis for his health. The
local lodge of Knights of Pythias, OF
which order he was a member, has
charge of the body.

THEY USED HIM
AS AN INSTRUMENT
No Member Of House or of the
Press Was Unduly Influenced Is
DeCision--Lilley Is Guilty of Bad
Faith in Bringing Charges
and COnCedling Names.

Washington. May 20.-That Repre-
sentative George L. Lilley of Con-
necticut was not warranted to bring
charges against certain of his coll
leagues in the House and accredited
members of the press is the conclu-
sion reached by special committee
named by Speaker Cannon to investi-
gate the methods employed by the
Electric Boat company of New Jersey
in connection with legislation before
Congress.
In an exhaustive report submitted
to the House today Chairman Boutell
and colleagues review the testimony
brought out before committee hearings
extending over several weeks and de-
Chred with entire unanimity that no
member of the House and no repre-
sentative Of the press had oeen in
duced by the officers of the Electric
Boat company to act from corrupt or
improper motives.
Furthermore, the committee finds
that Lilley allowed himself to be used
as an instrument by the Lake Boat
company in questioning the integrity
and fairness of the members of the
investigating committee and attacking
competing submarine company.
Lilley is charged also with main"
tanning an attitude of bad faith both
ing from the committee the identity
of the real parties Interested in the in
vestigation.

STRONG LINEUP FOR
sundays GAME
Albuquerque Grays VIII BE I'm the
Game tO Win From Santa Fe

The indications are that Albuquer-
que fans will see very passable
game OF baseball Sunday when the
Salmon Grays cross bats at Traction
park with the Albuquerque Grays. The
locals will have a lineup that shoNd
at least keep the visitors from maxi
ing a high score. Dan Padilla, man
ager of the Grays, has loosened up his
purse strings and there will be few
new faces among the Grays Sunday.
Roy Mcdonald will be in his ac-
customed place behind the bat and
Hedalgo, recently of Silver City, will
do the pitching Perea, who wore a
brown suit two years ago, will be at
first. Doc Cornish second Alarid at
short. and Salazar. who also wore the
brown two years ago, at third. Cor
nish a youngster from the unlver-
sity and a conner. Luna, Naryice and
Pena will be in the field.
The lineup that Santa Fe has sent
down is as strong as the one above.
If not stronger, as there are num-
Der of well known old heads among
the players. George Parsons, first
base, heads the list; Arcie, second at
bat and second at station; Pettus, the
heaviest hitter in the New Mexico
brush, will catch. Jimmy Lopez, Tarr,
from Stanley, who played here last
fair. Is at short, and H Alarid, the
wonderful midget, will cover second.
The other players will be Van Burgh,
third base, and NJ. Alarid. Mccarthy
and Stafford in the field.

NATIONAL GUARD RIFLES
MISSING FR6M ARMORY

Six government rifles whicn have
been used by Company G of the Ma
tional guard are missing from the
company armory and Captain Burt
ner has issued warning to the ones
who are responsible for the loss. The
government provides heavy penalty
for anyone selling its property, and
the purchaser Is equally liable, so that
anyone having one of these rifles in
his possession will undoubtedly save
trouble by turning it in. Captain
BURNERS warning Is as follows:
To Whom 1t May Concern:
Six government rifles are missing
from the armOry of Company q.
These rifles must be returned at once
or they will be reported stolen. These
rifles are easily identified by their
numbers, and unless returned at once
serious trouble may be looked for.

Letters from the Girl--Court
OverruIeS Motion to Dis

Attends Trial.

New York, May Ex-senator Thorn
as z. Plat, who is being sued for di-
vorce by Mae Z. Wood. today entered
the court room where the suit Is being
heard, accompanied by two attend
ants, who aided him in reaching the
elevator and his seat in the room The
senator seemed to walk with consid-
erable difficulty. With him was his
son, Frank II. Platt, and a stylishly
gowned woman.
The prospect that the senator was
to go on the stand drew large crowd
to the court room. This prospect was
revealed during yesterdays sensation
al hearing when the court denied a
motion of the defense to dismiss the
suit. Following this decision Miss
Wood continued her testimony with
the result that the statement alleged
to have been signed by j. Martin Mill
er was up in evidence. This alleged
that Secretary Loeb and Robert e
Wynne, former first assistant post
master general, now consul general at
London, and Senator Plat conspired
to obtain from Miss Wood certain let
ters which she claimed were written
to her by the senator.
Both Loeb and Wynne denied last
night that they took part in any such
action.
on the stand today Senator Platt
said he was nearly az years old, lie
met Miss Wood in 1901, a year after
the death OF his first wife. He denied
that he ever asked her to become his
wife or had made arrangements for a
ceremony between them.
The senator denied that he had ever
given her photograph of himself
inscribed ITO My Dear Wife" Miss
Wood had testified that she was sit
ting on Platt's knee when he wrote
these words. He acknowledged that
he had used endearing terms to her
and called her pet names, but de-
MED he gave her a wedding ring or
| a wedding certificate. He said he
| first learned of the alleged marriage
! through the newspapers, Let
| ters alleged to have been written by
the senator to Miss Wood were read
and he denied he had written them.
The senator testified he paid $4,000
| to his son, Frank, to bring about a
settlement of the suit brought against
him by Miss Wood through the law
firm OF Howe & Hummell.

LONG JOURNEY
IMPROVED SHIPS
Secretary MetCdlf Tells of COndisg
ton OF Fleet. Its Officers and
Men on the Arrival at San
Francisco Pays Trib-
ute to the Navy.

Washington, May 20.-Twenty-four
eat,leships will be reviewed by Pres
ident Roosevelt in Hampton Roads
February 22. next, the date of the
return of the Atlantic battleship fleet
from its world cruise. 1t has been de-
termined what the new ships, Wis
consin and Nebraska, constructed on
the Pacific coast, shall be assigned
to the Atlantic fleet, and will make
the return cruise with that organiza-
ton. The battleships Maine and Ala
bama, which made the cruise to San
Francisco under Admiral Evans will
make a quick run together, leaving
that port early in June and reaching
their home station early in October.
Secretary Metcalf. who has Just re-
turned from reviewing the fleet at
San Francisco, expressed himself as
deeply impressed with the benefit
the cruise has had on both ships, Of
ficers and men.
1T is remarkable" he said, that
the long cruise should have benefit
ted the ships, but this is a fact The
condition of their machinery is said
to be improved instead of deterior-
ated by the voyage. This is hardly
more striking than the effect the
voyage has had on the officers and
men. The officers have been i'm
pressed with the efficiency of their
ships AS never before and what rs
still more satisfactory. the cruise has
developed All understanding and q
friendly cordiality between officers
and enlisted men which has never be-
fore existed, and even still more i'm
portant as an improved condition Is
the conduct and feeling of the en-.
listed men themselves.
81 have no hesitancy In saying that
you could not pick at random 10000
university men throughout the coun-
try who would give better account
of themselves than the 10000 men
who constitute the personnel of the
fleet. The enlisted men OF the navy
are a very different class OF men than
formerly. The average age of the
men of the fleet seemed not to be
more than 23 years. They come FROM
the interior of the country, and are
energetic and self-respecting."
