annual reunion and barbecue of the
Old Settlers Society of the Pecos Val.

could not have been in order. No more
auspicious conditions, such as fine
crops, plenteous rains, good range and
fat livestock, no greater combination OF
desirable circumstances for the sue

been asked. The committee in charge
had the arrangements perfect The
natural result was great and happy

lilies and friends. Probably five or six
hundred people were in attendance.
Colonel G. G. Slaughter delivered the

full Of warmth, and made all feel that
they were more than welcome, and
glad that they had come. He recited a
number Of "reminiscences of the early
days and of his first visit to the Pecos
Valley country. His remarks showed
that he was familiar with the early
conditions, and warmed up the old set
tiers to the point of story telling until
throughout the remainder of the day
could be heard many story of the
pioneer days. Colonel Slaughter told of
the early struggles and needs. and the
discovery of artesian water, of the COM
ing of the first railroad and of the
needs of today--more railroads. He
predicted the needs of the future, and
closed this part Of the address by tell
telling how he and Colonel Littlefield
once ran cattle" on Spanish ponies,
but that now their descendants ran
them in automobiles. He closed with
an earnest appeal for all old timers
and new ones as well, to look we'll
to their titles and estates in the Pc
cos Valley, but to look more closely
to their title to home in the Great
Valley Beyond

there was plenty of it, with bread, cof-
fee, pickles, olives. pie, cake and wat
ermelon, as we'll as all the dishes of

fault.

Perth Amboy, N. J., Nov. 26.-Fol-
lowing pitched battle between 700
strikers and twelve deputies yesterday
at the factory Of the National Fire
Proof1ng company at Keasbey, near
here, in which six Of the strikers were
shot down, Governor j. Franklin Fort
dispatched four companies Of the state
national guard at Trenton to the scene
and last night the streets were pa
trolled by $50 soldiers.
A feeling Of intense excitement pre-
walls, as the strikers declare the depu-
ty sheriffs were not justified in firing
upon them Two Of the wounded men
are dying in the hospital here, and the
four other wounded men are painfully
hurt. The citizens fear for the NOR
row. when the strikers threaten to re-
new the attack on the plant Of the
National Fire Proofing company. The
strikers complain against the sending
of troops to Keasby and this may lead
to further trouble, it is said
For two days there has been rfoting

ARGENTINA TO BUY wARsHlPs.
Senate Passes a Bill to Expend $55,
100000 for Naval Armament.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Argentina
took action which the officials Of the
state departm ent here believe will bring
about crisis in the relations between
that republic and Brazil. Her senate
passed bill appropriating $55,OO0.0OO
for naval armament.
If she spends; that sum in lump
in England it will buy ten Dread
noughts for her, ready for commission
ing, which means with bunkers full Of
coal, ammunition, magazines bursting
with shells, and the torpedo-rooms
filled with Whiteheads.
Brazil has three Dreadnoughts I'M
der construction in England. and one
of them is about ready for delivery.
Until she took that action the Argen-
tine republic ranked her in the matter
of naval strength. But with Argentina
spending $55.00O,000 for big battle
ships alone, she becomes a great naval
power and an important factor in the
western hemisphere.
The rivalry between Brazil and Ar
gentina, which the officials believe is
driving them toward her. has been in
existence for more than thirty years.
They cannot agree upon the interpre-
tation to be placed upon treaties and
arbitral awards delimiting their from

times during the race, but only for a
few seconds each time. Dorandos time
was 2:44:20 2-5; Hayes 2:45:05 1-2.
The last few miles of the race were
exciting. In the twenty fourth mile,
Hayes made another of his jumps to
