Weinstein, his wife and one year old
son, who were suffocated and burned
in their apartments on the fifth floor.
That more lives were not lost was
due to the prompt action of three po-
licemen who rushed into the build
ing and aroused sixteen sleeping fam
lies. By that time the stairways were
a mass of flames, and the only means
of exit was by the fire escapes.
Scores of scantily clad men and
women and children became wedged
in solid masses on the fire escapes,
and the firemen had difficulty in
bringing them down the ladders. They
had to drag the women and children
from the wedged masses by main
force, and before all could be carried
down the people lost their self-res
traint and began to jump. In this way
several were seriously injured.

TO WORK
IN SECRET

The meeting of the organizing COM
mittee of the Anti-Saloon League at
the Baptist church last night was at
tended by 21 out of it's % members
The report of the councilmanic in
vestigation committee was received,
but it was decided to withhold this
report from publication. 1t was learn
ed that answers to queries were re-
ceived all the way from one extreme
to the other. One councilman stated
that if every man, woman and chilli
in town signed a petition to put ont
steps during the next two years An
other is said to have promised to do
all he could to have the saloons re-
moved if one man petitioned for it.
The committee also decided to
work quietly in the future and give
no reports of their doings. It's chair
man, Rev. H. F. Vermillie1, today
stated that he would be able to give
no more reports of the proceedings
of the league, according to the vote
of its members, but gave out the fol-
lowing resolution, which was adopt
ed as a sort of constitution at the
first meeting and signed as a pledge
by all the members:
Resolved, That it is our mature
and solemn conviction that the open
and legalized traffic in Intoxicating
liquors as represented in the licensed
saloons in our fair city, is the most
stupendous wrong; as it is the most
hurtful and dangerous enemy within
our limits. There are no values which
it would not reduce; no streams it
does not seek to pollute or to poison
and no security into which it does
not intrude its corrupting influence
and its destructive force 1t has
proven itself the sleepless and re-
lentless foe of all our homes and
their most precious treasures. And,
believing that it is neither wise nor
safe nor right to be at peace with
such an enemy, we do earnestly unite
with our brave and loyal fellow citi-
zens of other states in declaring the
licensed saloon an outlaw, to which
should be given banishment or death
forever. And we do hereby pledge
ourselves that we will by all reason
able and lawful means seek to hasten
and secure this result

SChOONOVER
EXILED
Special to The Daily Record.


Carlsbad, N. M, April 2.-Sol
Schoonover. the saloon man who was
convicted as a vagrant for renting a
house for immoral purposes and
found guilty of keeping a house of
prostitution, was yesterday sentenced
to 80 days in jail, to pay fine of
$50 and costs of the case, including
the expense for a special venire of
jurymen. The Jail sentence and fine
were suspended with the understand
ing that Schoonover will pay the
court costs at once, and in thirty
days leave New Mexico and remain
out of the Territory permanently. II
he ever sets foot in New Mexico
again he will be subject to the fine
and Jail sentence. Schoonoyer agreed
his saloon and other property inter
ests. He was lectured by Judge
Pope, who stated that Mrs. Schoono-
yer had been brought to his attention
as being as estimable and nice lady
as there is in Carlsbad, and of Miss
Schoonover, a yound girl just budding
into womanhood against whom never
a breath of suspicion has ever been
cast, and of Jime Schoonover, the
son who is a young man of good hab-
being compelled to take this drastic
action on their account. He told
Schoonover it would only humiliate
him, if he was subject to humiliation,
to place him in Jail. and that it
would certainly humiliate his wife
and daughter, and to fine him would
further impoverish him and take
from his family part of their sup
port He advised ,Schoonover to sur
round himself and family in their
with different environments and to
lead a different life.
The closing of Schoonover's sa-
loon will leave only three bar-rooms
in Carlsbad, and no more than three
saloons will be allowed to operate
here under town ordinance. Schoono-
ver's saloon will be taken over by the
three other saloons, and will be clos
ed up tomorrow morning. Schoonover
said he had no ill feeling towards
Judge Pope, and declared that he ap-
preciated the talk given him by the
court.
Nose Lewis, who was convicted at
the present term of court on the
charge of numbering Leland S. Ter
hume, in Chaves county, was sentenc-
ed yesterday afternoon by Judge Pope
to 80 years in the penitentiary and
to pay the costs of the case. Before

Pennsylvania Capitol Furnishing Suit
Holds keeer.-Sefraudeo State Out
OF 4J,0us,.so in Furnishing ouiding.
Penalty, Two Years and $1,000 Fine.
Harrisburg, March 1.-THE jury in
the first OIL the capitol conspiracy
cases to be tried gave a verdict of
guilty as to every one of the tour men
who have beer on trial here Tor the
last seven weeks, alter six hours de-
liberation. There were two ballots
taken, but the jury did not come into
court until two hours alter reaching
a conclusion. The men found guilty
are John II. Sanderson, contractor;
William Il. Snyder, former auditor
general; w. l.. Mathues. former state
treasurer, and James M. Shumaker.
former superintendent OF public build.
ings and grounds.
Motions for new trials were made
in each case.
Only Sanderson and Snyder were in
court when the verdict was given aud
neither would talk.
Maximum penalties for each defend
ant in this case is two years impris-
onment and 81, 900 fine.
The four men were convicted or
%defrauding the state in furnishing the
new capitol. which cost the state
about $4,000, 90. instead of $4,000
900, the figure at which the contract
was estimated.
The present case constituted one or
the longest jury trials in the history
of the Pennsylvania courts, and il at
tracted much attention throughout the
country.
The prosecution of the alleged
frauds was the outcome OF the polit-
ical upheaval in Pennsylvania in 1905.
which resulted in the election of Will
lam II. Berry, a Democrat, as state
treasurer, I'm the fall of that year.
Berry threw open the books of the
state treasury and showed that the
cost of building the capitol was more
than three times the amount OF the
contract.
The case was laid before the attor-
ney general and indictments were
found against four persons.
When the cases now pending against
the four convicted persons are con-
cluded, the other defendants will be
heard. The state claims that there
are frauds amounting to nearly So
OOO. 600 in the furnishing Of the cap
itol.
