WILL DESTROY LAS VEGAS
WITHIN NEXT FIFTEEN DAYS

Las Vegas, June 2.-Only fifteen
days more for Las Vegas!
Then the houses will be torn down,
the streets licked by FIRE and people
passed TO final Judgment!
That is the prediction OF Mr.. and
Mrs Joshua FoVte, colored evangel-
lists VIII" stood on the street corners
and implpred the people to run for
their lives"
Mrs. Foote is fiery speaker and
quite eloquent. She lacks not for
words and her ingual pictures of
what will happen to Las Vegas and
those who do not read the Bible and
believe il before the Is days proba-
tion passes send shudders through
the spines Of her hearers.
The Foote's were accompanied in
the street last night by a child of six
years which played about their feet
as the eNhorters prayed and preached.
Their services will be continued
this evening and for some time,

Says SUGGESTION
WAS NOT A CHARGE
Request for Committee Could Not
be Construed to Mean That Mem
Der of the House Had Been
Seen" He Maintains
Quotes Letters.

Waterbury, Conn, June 2.-Con-
gressman George l.. Lilley, whose res
olution and charges in connection
with the so-called Submarine boat
scandal" resulted last week in a Sc
we're scoring of the congressman by
the Boutelle investigating committee,
today gave out a statement on the
subject.
Incorporated in his statement are
letters' which declare that two weeks
before the report of the committee
denouncing Lilley was made, Boutelle
expressed admiration for Lilley and
endeavored to effect an agreemen
whereby the matter under investiga-
tion ght be compromised. In con-
cluding his statement Lilley says:
The suggestion that a member OF
the House had been annoyed by the
opportunities of Electric Boat COM
panys representative cannot be right
fully construed as a charge against
member. The request that a commit
tee ascertain by investigation wheth-
er improper practices on the part OF
the Electric Boat company had in
fluenced congressional action is not,
in my Judgment. a charge against any
members of the House.
II believed, and still believe, that
the Electric Boat company received
an excessive profit in the sale OF sub
marine boats to the United States
government"

BREWERY COMPANY
WILL MAKE CHANGES
Improvements Are To BE Started
When Mr.. Rankin Returns From
Eastern Visit.

The Southwestern Brewery & Ice
company Is preparing to make some
modern improvements to its plant in
this city. ID. J. Rankin, who leaves
the city Thursday for Lawrence to
witness a son and a daughter gradu-
ate will continue east from Lawrence
TO visit the improved breweries of st.
Louis and Milwaukee fol the purpose
Of getting ideas for improvements to
be made to the plant here. Harry
Rankin, the chief stockholder OF the
local brewery company, has just re-
turned from a visit to several i'm
portant breweries in the east. The
latter will remain here during the abb
sence of his brother in the east. The
improvements will be made immedi-
ately after the return OF ID. J. RAN
kin
The story circulated this morning
to the effect that Harry Rankin had
come to Albuquerque with the inten-
tion of making his home here was not
true. Mr.. Rankin said that there was
no reason why he should. He has a
400-acre farm one hour and thirty
minutes from broadway in New York
and has far greater interests there
than here; the climate there suits him
and he doesn't think that the ozone
here would be OF any benefit to his
health

Washington. June 2.-That Japan

Japan is taking all possible meas
ures to stop the emigration of labor

ures have, however. not been in force
a sufficient time as yet and matters
may not be quite as well adjusted as
they will be In the near future.
The United States government
never questioned the sincerity of our
efforts to stop the emigration OF coolie
laborers. though It has been stirred
up by the press. | feel sure that the
pleasant and cordial relations which
now exist between the United States
and Japan will not be marred but will
continue indefinitely"

Cleveland, June 2.-Five hundred
infuriated Italians stormed the closed
doors of the private banking house of
Caetano Lolita in Orange street to-
day and had not the police been called
they would have forced an entrance.
AS soon as the doors of the bank
failed to open at the accustomed
time this morning the bank was sur
rounded by Italians. Rumors flew
fast, and men, women and children
flocked to the place where they had
deposited their savings. The crowd
threatened to break in the doors and
a riot call was turned in. A squad of
police soon arrived and drove back
the excited Italians. Liotta, 1t is said,

The total deposits will not amount
to more than $4,000.

ROBBtR ESCAPES
AND LEAVES NO CLUE
As Agent Was Carrying Currency
In a Sack to His Rooms RObber
Threw Sand In His Face. Then
SndtChed the Sack
and Fled,

Deming, n. NJ, June 2.-(SpeciaI)
A lone robber held up the agent at
Mutt station, twenty miles east of
| here on the Santa F'e at IL o'clock
last night and secured the entire re-
ceipts of the office, said to be several
hundred dollars. The robber escaped
and no trace of him had been found
at noon today.
Mutt station consists of the depot,
the section house and two or three
small houses occupied by native la
borers. According to Agent Knight,
the train going from Deming to Rim
con had passed and he had closed up
the business of the day and had
placed all the money in the office in
sack, which he was going to take
up stairs with him for the night for
story of the depot.
He had locked the office and was
going to the baggage room to the
stairway when he was suddenly con-
fronted by an unknown man. A
quantity of sand was thrown into his
face and the money sack was snatch
ed from him. The robber then beat
a hasty retreat. 1t is believed that
he had a horse tied some place near
the depot.
Knight was blinded by the sand
but managed to reach the telegraph
keys and sent messages to officials
of the Santa Fe and Wells-Fargo Ex-
press company. 1t Is said that the
sack contained money belonging to
the postoffice department as we'll as
the Santa Fe and Wells-Fargo Ex-
press company and also contained
some of the savings of the agent.

ROOStvtL1'S LETTER
ACCOMPLISHED PURPOSE
His mo Friend OF Mine" Missive Re-
fusing Presidential Nomination
Was Sent to West Virginia Del
egate and Headed on Revival
Of Third Term Sentiment.

Washington, June because
President Roosevelt's latest declara-
ton that mo friend of mine" will
continue his efforts to renominate the
president, was written to one of West
Virginia's delegates to the Chicago
convention for the specific purpose of
heading off what appeared to be q
united effort among certain delegates
of that state to revive the Roosevelt
sentiment, the general publication of
the letter Is regarded as not expedient
or desra BILE
More than this the presidents
friends echoing his sentiment, say
that the president expressed himself
on the subject in terms which admit
of no uncertainty. For this reason 1t
is explained that no publicity will be
given TO the letter. That the missive
accomplished the purpose for which
1t was written is said to be fact.

Petition Is Referred to Committee
Without Comment--Clty Attor-
ney Gives important Opin-
ion--City Affairs are
Discussed.

Fearing that the handsome surplus
which the Republican administration
left in the treasury might not stand
the pressure and not being exactly
certain about the income for the year,
the city council last evening devoted
some time to considering economy.
Mayor Lester took an active part in
the deliberations and cautioned the
alderman to keep one eye a part OF
the time on the red ink side of the
city accounts.
The question of economy came up
when Alderman Hanley demanded
that il the council Intended to put
any kind of a fire station on the High
lands it put a good one there, prop
erly equipped and capable of doing
efficient work. Mr.. Hanley said that
it would take at least 500 more than
the original appropriation of $4,000
for a station and apparatus, and he
asked the council to stand good for
the additional expenditure, stating
that he did not propose to pay the
excess out of his own pockets.
Alderman Wroth moved that the
appropriation be increased by 800
as per Alderman Hanley's request.
and the motion carried.
1t was preceded by lively debate
on the question of economy and rev.
enue. Mayor Lester reminded Mr..
Hanley that the fire committee was
not the only committee in the city
and that the ohers would need some
of the funds.
We'll, if you don't have fire de-
partment and the city burns, you
won't need your other committees
said Alderman Hanley. Then the re-
quest for more money was needed.
The Highlands department will be
established at once, with a combina-
ton chemical and hose truck of the
latest pattern, and a good team OF
horses.
