les.
Yhis forenoon 1t was announced
that the agreement had been ratified
and that Colonel Edward w. Dobson
of Albuquerque, had been mentioned
as the member Of the committee on
behalf Of the regular Republican or
sanization and Chairman Alfred
Grunsfeld of the board of county com
missioners, to represent the independ-
ent and good government league peo-
pie. Governor Curry will be asked
now to name the third representative
to make a full membership of the
committee and it is believed that he
will be requested to appoint some Re-
publican who Is not resident Of Ber-
nalillo county thereon. However,
there Is no certainty as to this, but
Governor Curry can be depended upon
to select the right hlnd of a man for
the place.
This announcement will be receiv.
ed with great qualification and Joy
by the Republicans of New Mexico
who have the best interests of the par.
ty at heart. 1t means big majority
for the Republican nominee for dele
gate and for the legislative and county
tickets as it may safely be asserted
that The tickets will be composed of
the most available and best citizens.
The Republican party of Bernalillo
county has surely learned lessons dur.
ing the past two and four years and
will profit by them. 1t is now the
universal opinion that the convention
will be called and will be harmonious
and united and that the best of feel
ing will prevail.
Also, that in all probability the dele
gates will be instructed to vote for
the nomination of Delegate w. Fl. An
drews as the candidate for delegate to
the 6lst Congress.

FOOT RACERS
Annex Another Relay Race and Hur-
die Event-Dorando, Italian Run
ner, Files Protest.

London, July 25.-The final in the
1000 metre relay race was won easily
today by the American team. The fin.
al in the 110 metre hurdle race was
won by F. C. Smithson, of the Mutno-
man Athletic Club. A. C. McGarrels OF
the Chicago Athletic Association, was
second. and A. B. Shaw, of Dartmouth
College, third. The time was Is Sec
onds, establishing a new worlds rec
ord.
Amid the cheers of his fellow coun-
trymen, Halswelle, the English rum
ner, this morning ran the 400 metre
fiat race over in the Olympic games,
which was won last Thursday by J.
G. Carpenter, of Cornell, but which
was declared void by the judges on an
allegation that Carpenter fouled Halls
welle. Carpenter was disqualified and
the other contestants refused to run
the race over. Halswelle tried to lower
the worlds record, but failed.
Dorando, the Italian runner, who
was assisted yesterday to the tape in
the finish of the Marathon race, has
recovered from the strain of his awful
effort and today desired to lodge a
protest against giving the race to
John J. Hayes, of the Irish-American
Athletic Club on the ground that he
had been interfered with by the of.
ficials of the course and if left alone,
could have won. His protest, howev-
er, was too late for consideration.

 Deputies Apply.

Birmingham, July 10s--(special.)--- Both the miners and operators claim to have made some advance in the min- ing situation in the Birmingham dis- trict.
 The operators held another confer ence today and the report was given out tha ta number of men who went out Monday and Tuesday of this week had returned to work this morning.
 W. R. Failey, the Alabama member of the National Executive Committee of the United Mine Workers of Amer lea, who is leading the miners. stated today that there had been large addi- Ions to tn emembership in the last few days and others are joining still, |, He stated that several mines here to- fore operated with non-union labor, had been shut down and others would follow in the near future.
 He denounced implications that union men were inclined to raise a disturb arce or to create trouble. He stated that all men were being advised not to violate the la wand not to commit any rash acts. He said that reports that dynamite was being thrown and men who wanted jobs as deputies or by deputies already at work.
 Reports from various parts of the district are to the effect that there Is a little unres, that many men are quitting work or laying on for a while.
 There was another large crowd Of men around the office of Sheriff Higdon today looking for jobs as deputies. The sheriff appointed 8 number Of men at the request of coal companies, this be- ing done. as stated before, as a matter of precauion.
 The sheriff has declined to appoint men brought from other States as depu- ties, his opinion being that men in this State and district could be found just as acceptable as those brought in from other places.
 The presence of deputies around col lerieS in the ristrict was noted. but tn miners did not show any anger at the placing of the men.

PENNY TRIAL DRAGS
MOBILE YOUNG MAN ACCUSED OF EnmnzzLEMENT.
Hearing May Hun Into Next Week.
 Bonding Company WnI Pay the


 Mobile. July 10.--(Speciai.)- )---when the city court adjourned tonight at o'clock little progress had been made in the prosecution of c. Conway Pen- ny, former deputy clerk, for the al- ieged en1bezzlennent of sl,sso of the citys funds.
 All the morning hours were used in examining city oficials Tn reference to moneys paid over to the defendant for which there was no accounting. During the afternoon session bank clerks testified as to deposits made by the young man. It now seems that the case vii run we'll into next week.
 The Union Fidelity and Casualty Company will pay the City of Mobile $l0.000 the amount of bond made by that corporation for R. B. owen, Jr.. former city clerk, now in Honduras and charged with embezzlement here. Through the payment fthe bond the city of Mobile will recover that amount of the money Owen is alleged to have embedded.
 The total amount taken by Owen up to the time of the audit of the books Of the tciy clerks once was biven at S20,s00. Of this amount Owen is held eriminally responsible for s1s.s00. An indictment charging the mbeszlensnt of funds to that extent was found by the recent grand jury. The balance is to be the basis of civil action against the bonding company and owen. pro- vided. of course that the bonding com pany declines to make good the amount of the bond.
 Owen is said to be a resident or Puerto cortez. where he is engaged in the hotel business
 At the morning session of the Penny trial. despite the fact that the testi- mony was full of tiresome detail as to the correctness he accounts of the former deputy clerk Of the city of Mo- bile. the crowd in the court room had diminished not in the slish test degree
 It was evident that the spectators suspected sorne sensational develop ment in the embezzlement prosecution but during the forenoon. they were not rewarded. Building Inspector Kearr was on the stand most of the time Identifying certain papers and vouch- CTS turned over by him to Penny. for which 1t is alleged there was no &C., counting.
 It Is evident that the trial will con- tnue slowly throughout this week and probably into next week as Judge Semmes. just before he called the Pen- ny case today reset 6 number of cases on the docket.
 Whatever the decision of the jury will be, 1t Is evident that counsel for the defense Is making every effort to secure . new trial. Technical obtec. tions are being constantly brought in and exceptions noted.
 Penny has not changed his attitude of stoicai indifference throughout the hearing, while his brothers eagerly watch every movement in the case,
