TAFT'S MISSION TO
PANAMA SUCCESSFUL
Dispute With Columbia Will Be
Peacefully Adjusted-Sails For
Home Tomorrow

Panama, May 11.-Ever since his
arrival here Secretary Taft has been
holding conferences with Foreign
Secretary Arias, President Amador,
Senor Arago, Panaman Minister to
the United States Squiers, and vii.
liam Nelson Cromwell, legal adviser
of the Panama canal commission. The
conferences were concluded yester-
day. They discussed numerous topics
relating to the treaty which it is de-
sired to negotiate between Colombia,
the United States and Panama. While
details are lacking, 1t is said that a
tentative accord has been reached up.
on important points and that decision
awaits special inquiry now in progress
The result of the conferences, 1t Is an.
nounced, is satisfactory to all parties
concerned.
Colombia's recent seizure of the
town Of Juardo, on the frontier invol.
we'd in the general boundary question
between the two countries, has been
fully considered.
The Panama government has
agreed to the suggestion made by Sec
retary Taft to withhold all action un.
til the secretary of war has had an op.
portunity personally to confer with
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Root.
One of the most important questions
affecting the canal zone has been to
determine the titles of individual oc
cupants of land in the zone and the
value of lands appropriated for canal
uses. Until now adjustment had been
impossible, but solution has been
reached by which an arbitration trib
unal will be constituted under the ex
listing treaty This tribunal will have
the power to determine all questions
as to valuations and legal titles. It
will be composed of two citizens OF
the United States and two citizens OF
Panama with Governor Magoon OF
| Cuba as umpire.
Secretary Taft expects to conclude
his business relative to the canal ad
ministration and inspection today
and will sail for the United States to-
morrow morning.

WARM PRIMARIES
In BERNALILLO
Two Factions of Democratic Party in
That County Engage in Lively
Contest.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, May 11.-Dem.
ocratic primaries were held last Sat
urday in every precinct of Bernalillo
county to elect delegates to the coun-
ty convention, which will be held at
Albuquerque next Saturday, at which
time delegates to the Democratic ter
ritorial convention at Roswell will be
elected. In the country districts the
primaries passed off quietly, but in
the two Albuquerque precincts there
occurred the hottest fight ever known
in this county. The principal fight was
for the control of the county organi-
cation, although a fight on County
Chairman Summers Burkhart as the
delegate to the Denver convention
from this district was made the pre-
text for the assault upon the recog-
nized leaders.
In precinct IL the war waxed hot
and at one time pandemonium broke
loose. Harsh words and almost blows
for an instant threatened to transform
the peaceful gathering of citizens en-
gagged in Saving the country" into a
well developed riot. There were two
factions, one headed by Neill B.
Field, O. N. Marion and Summers
Burkhart and other old Democratic
grandstand leaders. On the other
side was lineup of new men who
had come into the primary with the
evident intention of carrying it and
of stepping into the boots of some of
the men who have heretofore been
leaders of the organization.
With loud war whoop the faction
of new men placed in nomination G.
C. Hendricks, editor-to-be of the new
Democratic daily, for chairman of the
meeting, while with equally loud yells
the old faction placed Neill B. Field
in nomination. Then the fireworks ex-
ploded.
Each faction in a loud voice and
roar claimed their rights and endeav-
ored to prove that they were the only
simon-pure Democrats of Bernalillo
county. Finally Thomas F. Keleher,
who was lined up with the Hendricks
faction, took the floor and moved that
Samuel Neustadt, the temporary chair
man, be made permanent chairman.
This motion was agreed upon by both
factions and although the meeting
proceeded with the routine of business
the fight was not over yet.
Burkhart Of the old faction, cnal-
lenged several voters with the asser-
ton that they were not Democrats,
and had been Republicans for the
past twenty-three years. Most Of these
men contended that they were Demo
Gratis and were allowed to vote. AT.
ter the vote had been counted it was
found that the old slate received sew.
enty.two votes. while the new slate
was showed under, It receiving only
fifty votes.

received at the Union Depot here this

pressing his deep appreciation of the
honor shown him. He recalled how he
had been sent as Utah's cadet to An
napolis and said he owed debt of
gratitude to Utah.

HOPE FOR ENLARGED
E HOMESTEAD BILL
Believed Measure Will Be Taken Up
BY House Early This Week
and Passed.

Washington, May 11.-Chairman
Mondell of the House public lands
committee, has had several inter
views with Speaker Cannon recently,
and as a result expects to secure con-
sideration in the House early this
week of the bill providing for enter
ing homesteads of 320 acres to meet
the dry farming methods which are
being adopted in arid and semi-arid
states.
The Senate has passed the enlarged
homestead bill which was introduced
by Senator Smoot and it has been re-
ported by the House public lands com
mittee with amendments which make
1t practically identical with the bill
originally introduced by Mondell.
1t is expected the latter bill as thus
amended will pass the House and with
some notifications in conference to
permit lands to be acquired by non
resident entrymen under certain re.
strictions will become law at this
session.
Houses Passes Bill.
BY vote Of 139 to "A the House to-
day passed the Mondell bill providing
for homestead entries of 800 acres in.
stead of 100 on non-mineral, non-irri.
gable, unreserved and non-appropriat.
ed public lands in Colorado, Califor.
| MIA, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon
Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Arizona
and New Mexico.
The Senate today passed the agri
cultural appropriation bill.

resentatives.
Dear Mr.. Andrews--Your letter Of
April 2S is received. Under the plan
of redistricting the National Forests
to be put into effect July l we are pro
posing to make the following changes
in New Mexico:
The Big Burros and the southern
division of the Gila Forest will be
consolidated under the name Gila and
Will be administered as heretofore
from Silver City. The northern divl-
sion OF the ella will be called the
Augustine and will be administered
from Magdalena by Supervisor Kerr
The San Mateo and Magdalena will
be consolidated under the name Mag
dalena and will also be administered
by Kerr at least for the present. The
Gallinas and Lincoln Forests will be
consolidated under the name Lincoln
and administered by Supervisor Kin.
ney from Captain. The Sacramento
and Guadalupe will be consolidated
under the name Alamo and admins
tered by Acting Supervisor Neal from
Alamogordo. That portion of the
Jemez Forest lying north Of the
Chama river will be consolidated with
the Taos under the name Carson and
will be administered by Deputy Su
pervisor T. r. Stewart from Tres Pie
dras. That portion Of the Jemez ly-
ing south Of the Chama river will be
called the Jemez and will be adminisf
tered in connection with the Pecos by
Supervisor Mcmillan from Santa Te
The Manzano and Mount Taylor have
already been consolidated under the
name Manzano and will be admins
tered as heretofore from Albuquerque
The Chiricahua and Peloncillo Forests
will be consolidated under the name
Chiricahua and will be administered
by Acting Supervisor Zachau from
Douglas as heretofore.
"You will note that practically the
only change in administrative bounda-
ries involved in this plan is the sepa-
ration Of the Carson unit with head
quarters at Tres Piedras from the
area which has been administered by
Supervisor Mcmillan from Santa Fe.
All the other changes are merely con-
solicitations under single names OF
areas which have previously been ad.
ministered by the same supervisor.
The result Of this plan will be very
great simplifcation of records and &C.
counts both in the field and In the
Washington Office. I sincerely hope
that this plan will meet with your
full approval and should be very glad
to know your opinion before hnal &C.
tion is taken.
Very sincerely yours,
CLIFFORD PINCHOT,"
