MEETING
BOARD OF EDUCATION
Old Government Building at Corner
OF Palace and Lincoln Avenues
to Be Renovated

AT a meeting of the Board of Edu.
cation last night 1t was decided to re-
model and renoyatc the old govern.
ment building, now the property OF
the school board, at the intersection of
Lincoln and Palace avenues From the
discussion engaged in by the members
of the board about $1,000 or $500
will be expended in making IN up-to.
date building out of the present rather
run down structure. It was the opin.
ion Of members Of the board that a
revenue Of about 500 month could
be realized by renting the building If
it was remodeled. A committee OF two,
consisting of Mayor Jose D. Sena and
IT. B. Catron, president of the board.
will inspect the building and report
upon the probable cost and the best
plans.
Six members of the board were in
attendance, they being T. B. Catron,
president; Mayor Jose D Sena, Mean
or Baca, Manuel B. Salazar, Jose C.
Sanchez and Percy F. Knight.
Mayor Sena, chairman Of the build.
ings and grounds committee report.
ed that plans for parking the High
School lawn were being carried out
and that the lawn would be az at.
tractive as can be made by fall.
Miss Hildred Hansen was elected
musical director at salary of S35
a month, she to devote two days in
each week to the schools. Miss Han
sen asked $50 month but the board
did not feel disposed to pay as much
owing to the financial condition in
which it Is now placed. There was
some discussion as to adyisability of
securing ,rme one qualified in both
music and drawing and paying a sal.
ary commensurate with the duties
The matter did not go beyond the dis
cussion point.
A special meeting of the board will
be held Friday night at which time
lit Is proposed to make final settle
ment with A. Windsor, the contractor
who built the High School building. A
controversy has arisen between the
board and the architect I. H. Rapp
who designed the building and who
was to superintend its construction
and it may result in litigation. The
board has not seen fit to pay the
amount claimed by the contractor
because of an alleged non.fulfilllment
of the contract on the part of Mr.
Rapp.

hotel was sold to F. e. Nuding TO

STRANDED SHIP
BREAKS IN TWO
Beach Combers Make Rich Haul Of
Case Oil When German Vessel
Goes to Pieces.

New York, June 1.-THE German
ship. Peter Rickmers, which ran
ashore off the Long Island coast sew
eral weeks ago, broke in two late last
night and the remainder of her cargo
of case oil was swept out to sea. The
incoming tide brought many cases OF
oil and the beach combers made
profitable haul. Deputy sheriffs had
great difficulty guarding the salvage
valued at $4,000, so numerous were
the beach combers. Many Of the Lat
ter sailed out beyond the three-mile
limit and caught the cases of oil float
ing about.

from Judge Edward A. Mann. of the
Fifth judicial district.
Captain F. c. Dezendorf, chief O,
special agents of the general land Of
lce with headquarters in Santa Fe
assisted in presenting this case for the
government. The decision rests on
a question of law as it is a matter of
record that Mr.. Rawlings convened
TO an Alamogordo lumber COMPANY

to making final proof.
1t is the contention of the defend
ant In this case that he has a RICH,

ing iinal proof and he does not deny
that ne transferred his timber rights
The Interior Department has helt
that homesteader does not have this

1t is said that in many instances

Alamogordo, tnat settlers have dis
posed of their timber rights to lum

of this case is apparent. However

as has the Duke of the AbruZzi. He

this sort that made him a perfect man
Of the world and consummate judge
of his fellows.
Although he is less familiar to the
Italians than the other royal princes,
they are intensely proud of him on
account of the glory he has con-
tributed to the flag. He has been out
of the country so much that he is al
most stranger to the Italian popu-
lace. He goes to Rome so infrequent-
ly that it would be possible for him to
walk all over the city without being
recognized. He is intensely patriotic,
however, and an ardent believer In
the future of Italy. When he was q

always reused him to great wrath in
spite of the fact that he was born in
the royal palace at Madrid in the very
room which Queen Victoria uses as
nursery for the crown prince. At that

the Spanish grandezZa were making it

IN EhhAfS Lue TWO men ulScuSSeu
most persiStently in America to-
day are President Roosevelt and
Prince Luigi Amadeo of Savoy.
Concerning both of them the American
public is asking the question framed
I'm the same words-What is he going
20 do?
That which Mr.. Roosevelt expects to
do Immediately at the close of his term
penetrate the heart OF equatorial
Africa-Prince Luigi accomplished two
years ago. When he returns from the
most deliberately planned hunting ex-
petition ever undertaken by an Amer
lean. President Roosevelt will put his
thrilling experiences in search Of big
game In a book. That is precisely
what the prince has done in work en-.
titled "RuwenZori," which tells how
in the spring and summer of 1906 he
went in search of the Mountains of
the Moon and found them.
"RuwenZori," just published by E.
p. Dutton & Co, is practically the
princes own account OF his ascent of
the wonderful mountains whose sum-
mits are as frigid as the arctic and
whose bases are set In the tropical
verdure Of the equatorial region. II
was not written by the intrepid ex-
plorer's own hand, but it was COM
piled from his own notes and put into
shape under his personal supervision.
1t is the recorded evidence of an
achievement which puts Luigi of Sa.
voy at the head of the long list of
modern mountain climbers. 1t was the
feat of a man still young in years who
was born with n positive genius for
perilous adventure.

ond mother and has deferred to her
wishes in every possible way. Her
infexible attitude of opposition to the
American alliance has been the most
disagreeable feature of the entire mat
ter for Prince Luigi.
When he made his first visit to
America the prince was in his twenty
second year. He had already climbed
the Matterhorn and was on a cruise
around the world as a lieutenant on
board the warship Cristoforo Colombo.
his mind to climb to the summit of
Mount st. Elias, and in 1897 he re-
turned to the United States to put that
project into effect. Four days were
spent in the climb to the summit, but
1t was accomplished. and the young
Italian was the first man to set foot
on that dazzling eminence of $4,000
feet. There were several Americans in
the princes party. but he saw to it
that none Of them was his companion
at the last stage of the ascent. He
wanted all the glory to belong to Italy
and succeeded in his patriotic desire.
Luigi went home and for the next
two years devoted himself to the study
of the north pole problem. By the
summer of 1899 his plans were per
fected. and he sailed with small par.
~ from Christiania. 1t was on this
trip that the prince was so badly fro
zen that he was obliged to suffer the
amputation Of two fingers and was so
Ill that he could proceed no farther.
His courage did not desert him. how
ever. and he directed Captain Cagni
his companion, to take part of the
crew and proceed northward. Thus Ii
was that the scientific credit was be-
slowed on the prince, who directed the
advance from his sickbed.
