SENSATIONAL SCENE
IN COURT AT CARLSBAD.

CARLSBAD, N M. April 3.-Ine sad
dest scene ever enacted in the Eddy
county court house occurred this at
ternoon, when Mamie Stovall, an il
literate white woman aged about 80
| years, living rs miles east of Carls-
bad, was given a preliminary hearing
before Judge William H. Pope on the
charge of numbering her own infant
in April of last year. 1t was proven
that the woman was assaulted by a
negro when h was eighteen years
of age, and that since that time she
had been a nervous wreck and was
weak-minded and subject to epileptic
fits. Shortly before she came to New
Mexico with her brother, Leonard
Stoval,1 and her uncle she was work
ing in a cotton field in Texas and had
been led astray by a man named Ro-
gers on the promise of marriage. AT
ter coming to New Mexico she was
thrown from a horse, and later gave,
birth to a lead child. In an effort to
conceal her shame she dug a grave
about fifty feet from the camp and
buried the body.
The woman vas expected to testify
to this, but was overcome and had
it was the most pitiable sight ever
seen in the court Don
Judge Pope dismissed the woman
from custody and said that it was a
sad case and regrettable, and further
stated that no criminal intent had
been shown. Lawyers and strong
men in the audience were moved to
tears at the pathetic sight, and a
tinge of tenderness was added by
the care and affection shown by the
brother of the unfortunate woman.
He led her out of the court ROOM, and
as the last flight of stairs was reach
ed she was overcome by another fit
and spell of heart failure, and a ply
stefan was called and the brother
nursed her until she was removed to
comfortable quarters.
The sight moved Captain E. P. Blu
JAG to tears, and he approached the
HAL LIN OlIClCo ~ pay hOopiIol oho
physician and nurses charges until
she was restored to health, and said
the reason he made the offe- was
through sympathy.
The brother asked her if she wanted
to be taken to a hospital, and she
family said hat she wanted to be
with her brother.
The majesty of the law must and
will be upheld, of course, n it is
eminently proper to ever run down
and sift rumors of crime; but it does
seem to the writer that this poor
creature could have been given a pre-
.Eminary hearing before Justice of the
Peace Taylor, who had his Office only
a few miles from the defendants
home, in the community where she
lived, instead of being dragged a dis
lance of se~venty-fve miles across the
plains to have her shame and suffer
ing aired before the gaze of a NOR
bid public on a charge of murder
that evidence developed had abso-

PROGRESS OF WATER AND
coMMlsSIO

The water and W commission
spent the early part of the week in
consultation with Engineer Burns ov-
or the plans for water and service.
MIR. Burr has now gone to Kansas
City to prepare the preliminary maps,
plans and specifications, and will
have same on file for the benefit and
Information of the bond buyers be-
fore date for receiving bids, which
is the 18th inst.
The appropriation for water works
will likely prove ample for a fine sys-
tenn, and it is proposed to have pipe
lines to supply all from
the Military Institute to the Hospital,
and as far west as the Pauly school,
and east of railroad. The commission
is also considering the purchase of
the Haynes & Bonney water power,
wells M pipe lines.
The sewer is proving a much more
difficult proposition il an engineering
way, and it is estimated hat the
funds available will fall short. How
ever, b commission n Mr.. Burns
are making every effort possible to
reach the inhabited portion of the
city now without sewer connections.
If the bonds are sold, as expected,
work will begin as Don as material
can be purchased and delivered.

HITCHCOCK NAILS DOWN
TAFT'S DENOMINATION

Washington, November 5.-(Special.)-
Frank Hitchcock chairman of the repub-
lican national committee will be the prin-
cipal factor in the distribution of patron
age for the incoming administration. This
will be especially true in the south, in
which section the President will leave him
with a free hand. As first assistant
postmaster general Mr.. Hitchcock was en-
abled to fill practically all the postoffices
with men whom he could count upon. to
follow his directions. In the democratic
districts, in northern states, that is, where
postoffiees were under the control of re-
publican congressman, he was also wide
awake enough to see that none but Taft
men were put on guard. With the post
masters as a basis the other federal Of
fceholders were brought into line and
controlled the Chicago convention which
nominated Taft.
Under the new administration Hitchcock
is slated for the postmaster generalship
and will be in complete charge of the
four years campaign leading up to the
denomination of Secretary Taft Prac-
tically every appointment will be made
with that end in view, and there is lit
tie chance for the reappointment of Of
ficeholders who were not in sympathy

COKE OVENS RESUME.
General Resumption of Operation Will

Uniontown, Pa, November 5.-Indica-

three plants at Oliver today received

orders to put the entire plant in full OPP
Grafton next Monday. o. w. Kennedy
general manager of the Orient Coke and
Coal company, said today that next Mon
day will see the 4S ovens of that plant
running in full.
The fact that the independents are pre-
pairing for a resumption in full is re-
garded as evidence that the Fl. c. Frick
Coke company will soon send out notices
of a general resumption. The price of
coke is advancing and there are increas-
ing inquiries for the product, At least
so per cent of the ovens are now idle.
There is shortage of miners and other
workmen, which may delay full resump-
ton for a time

INDICATES POLICIES

natl had been originated in this city in
stead of the home of the great COM
moner.
Seriously" he declared 'the indica-
tions are already apparent. and the hopes
which / entertain are that the business
communities and the investors of both for
eign nations and among our people will
take heart in carrying out the great en-
terprises which have been projected, and
which must be carried to a determination
if the country is to reach its full need of
prosperity and business attending.
Business men are to be shown the lines
of legality which lines have been empha-
sized during the last four years. Busi-
ness men shall know that they are to con-
form to the laws upon the statute books,
and that no favors are to be expected for
those who break the laws.
This shall be so that the men who COLI
duct a legitimate business may UNDER
stand that the government is back Of
them and does not intend to do anything
to interfere with their legitimate advance
ment."
Judge Taft added: at is a question Of
definite knowledge of the statutes and of
their clear understanding which shall
make the honest progress of our business
possible. And that is in my belief all
that is necessary to make that progress
substantial and enduring"
He apologized for directing his words IN
such a serious discussion.
81 know the difficulties that will arise
in my new career" Judge Taft added.
at know that there will be questions
which will arise that l do not know or
now. and that times will come when many
of my friends here will shake their heads
and say, Poor Bill; but all ask Is for
suspension of judgment until the situa-
tion may be understood. Its decision viii
rest upon the principles of sound and
honest business policies which l have

In this group there was usually opposi-
tion to Judge Taft
There will be no let up in the organiza-
tion perfected by Chairman Hitchcock
Supported as it is largely by the govern
ment the question of expense will not
enter into the equation. and even If it
did there is enough money left in the
republican treasury to finance another
campaign. The commission will rent
quarters here shortly after the beginning
of the administration and doors Will re-
main open until the 1912 campaign is on.
Probably the most unpleasant feature Of
the administration to which Judge Taft
looks forward is the distribution of pat
ronage. Naturally amlable he realizes the
worry he will be caused by the importuni-
ties of officeseekers and IL will therefore
be relief to transfer most of it to the
young, broad shoulders of Chairman
Hitchcock, who will have to be seen by
all who hope to retain to get Of
flee. All In all there will probably be
fewer changes in the coming administra-
tion than ever known before. Taft will
keep in nearly all the Roosevelt ap-
pointees of any prominence and of course
the civil service extensions promulgated
by the present administration will stand

FOUR MEN CAUGHT
BY AN EXPLOSION

Benton, ILL.,, November 5.-An explosion
at the mine of Joseph Letter at Zeigler
Franklin county. late today, wrecked
the shaft, and as result four shot
firers are entombed.
So terrific was the explosion that car
and pieces of railroad track were hurled
from the bottom to the top of the shaft,
more than 600 feet, demolshing steel
tpple.
1t is impossible to reach the four miners
and their fate is therefore unknown.
A large force of men is trying to clear
the wreckage, but the work is proceed
ing slowly Unless the men are reached
soon they will suffocate.
The names of the entombed miners are;
George Reed
Patrick Daily.
Perry Stevens.
John Holmes.
The mine is owned by Col. W. P. Bond
of Chicago.
No workmen are in the Letter mine at
Zeigler which is burning, but several
mules are within. The main and air
shafts have been plugged in an effort to
smother the fire.
