Engineers Investiga-
ting Streams in
the Territory
PREPARING FOR SETTLERS
New Mexico as State Will
Command the Attention of
the Whole Country.

The Water Resources branch OF the
geological survey is working, with the
territorial engineer, and Investigations
on all of New Mexico's principal rivers
will be pushed with greater zeal than
ever before The geological survey,
working with Vernon l.. Sullivan, ter
rtorial engineer, has decided to do
more stream gauging in New Mexico
this winter than in any other state in
this section of the country. With the
granting of statehood the eyes of the
country will be turned to the south
west, and especially to New Mexico.
Investors will wake up to the fact that
they do not have to 60 clear to the
coast for something good.
But the capitalist before he sees his
way clear to use his magic wand in
the development of a stream for irri-
CATION must have the assurances
which only figures can give. 1t is
with this end in view that the Federal
government has joined forces with
New Mexico, and together they will
study the streams, undoubtedly most
valuable asset, SO that the facts may
be ready when asked for by the in
vestor, farmer, or settler.
James B. Stewart, photographer,
representing Federal Engineer w. B.
! Freeman, will from now on make his
headquarters in the Office of the terri.
topial engineer. Gauging trips for the
purpose of measuring the amount OF
water in every important stream will
/, be made each month. Mr.. Stewart has
just returned from visit to the gaug
ing stations in San Juan county. The
La Plata, Animas and San Juan rivers
were visited and while the flow ir
4 these streams is lower than usual YET
there is an abundance of water find
ing it's way out of New Mexico into
the Gulf of California.

SLAUGHTER OF OUR
WORKMEN GOES ON
Astounding Record of the Past Years
Shows Gross Negligence in
Factories.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Between TO-
600 and $4,000 deaths and two million
injured is the accident record of the
United States during the past year
among workingmen. according to the
bulletin issued today by the bureau OF
labor The bulletin declares that
much that could be done for the pro-
lection of working men is neglected
though many far-reaching improve
ments have been introduced in factory
practices during the last decade. 1t is
pointed out that conditions are better
in European countries and it is in
sisted that it should be possible to
prevent at least one-third and perhaps
one-half of the accidents in this coun-
try by intelligent and rational meth
DDS of factory inspection, legislation
and control.

CALL ISSUED FOR
LIVE STOCK MEETING
Next Convention at Los Angeles in
January Will Have important
Matters to Decide.

A call has been issued by II. A.
Jastro, president of the American Ma
tonal Livestock association, for the
next meeting of the association to be
held at Los Angeles January 26, y and
2S, of next year. All members of the
association, and all livestock associa-
tions. as well as livestock producers
generally are urged to attend, as many
questions of the greatest Importance
to the industry will come up for con
sideration The probability of some
revision of the tariff on hides, wool
and livestock will be the principal
matter discussed and in order to pro-
tect the interests of stockmen it Is
necessary that concerted steps be
taken to influence the action of Con
gress. Federal supervision of unap
propriated public lands in semi-arid
states, supervision of the unlic
ranges, protecting ranchmen and the
administration of the forest reserves
will also be considered, and Clifford
Pinchot, chief of the forestry service
will address the convention The mat.
ter of better rates on livestock ship
ments will come UP, and the recent
victory of the livestock men in theiI
suit for a reduction of rates from the
Southwest to eastern markets will be
fully explained.
Special rates will be given by the
| railroad to Los Angeles for the con
| vention.

selves had no guilty knowledge be-
fore hand and were in no way impli-
Gated in the affair, save by having
knowledge of it afterwards and wait
ing and refusing to divuge it. I recon-
mend that law be passed allowing the
secretary OF war within a fixed period
of time, say year, to reinstate those
soldiers whom he, after careful eX-
animation, finds have been innocent,
and whom he finds have done all in
their power to help bring to justice
the guilty. Meanwhile the investiga-
tion will be continued.
Browns report says:
Congress Confessed.
"Ex-Private Boyd Conyers, company
B, 25th infantry now at Monroe, Co.,
| told William Lawson. a detective, that
| he and three or four other men OF the
25th infantry were leaders in the
Brownsville raid Conyers tried to
commit suicide after he found out he
had made his statement to a detec-
tive, saying that other negroes would
kill him when it got out. He finally
wrote to Senator Foraker and received
a reply In that reply he instructs
the man to stick to his original story
told before the senate committee al
all hazards
A significant part of Foraker's let
ter which is annexed to Browns re-
port is Fl remember you very well as
a witness before the senate committee
and / am sure you did not there TESTIFY
: to anything except only only tht
truth
The report is accompanied by ain
dayits in support of the statemen
, made by Brown.
According to Conyer's alleged con
, fession John HOlleman, a money lend
, or in company B, was the chief con
, spirator and leader in the raid AM

Washington, Dec. 14.-President
Roosevelt today sent message tol
congress inclosing a letter from the
secretary of war transmitting the re-
port of the investigation made byl
Herbert J. Brown, employed by the de-
partment in conjunction with Captain
". G. Baldwin to investigate the
Brownsville rioting affair on August
13 and IA, 1906 The message in part
follows:
"This report enables us to fix with
|tolerable definiteness at least some
of the criminals who took the lead IN
the murderous shooting of private cltl-
zens at Brownsville. 1t establishes
clearly the fact that the colored sol
diers did the shooting. The investl-
CATION has not gone far enough to en-
able us to determine all the facts,
and we will proceed with it. " ap-
nears that almost all members OF COM
pany y must have been actively con-
cerned in the shooting, either to the
extent of being participants or 70
! the extent of virtually encouraging
those who were participants. AS to
companies and D there can be no
question that practically every man
lin them must have had knowlenge that
1.-THE shooting was done by some sol
diers of B troop, and possibly by one
or two others in one OF the other
4 troops.
4 A Grave offense.
/ This concealment was OF ltsell
q grave offense, which was greatly
aggravated by their testifyihg before
the senate committee that they were
ignorant Of what they must nave
known Nevertheless it is to be salo
lin partial extenuation that they Were
/ probably cowed by the threats, made
] by the more desperate OF the men Whe
had actually been engaged IN ths
shooting, as to what would happen Z

circumstances tending to show ina

by outsiders to persist in their cours

Hattiesburg, Miss, Oct. 3-Lena
Richardson, II year old girl of Sum

the circuit court at Purvis on a charge
of murder of her father. The jury

The tragedy occurred last December.
The father, Jack Richardson, a saw
mill employee. came home in quarrel

he would not mistreat his family, but
later in the night he returned and with
hoe as a weapon endeavored to get
into the house.
His daughter Lena, seized double,

! and with the muzzle almost against his
stomach, fired. He died soon after
