The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1908-01-03

The Territorial anti-gambling law
went into effect New Years Day and
all over New Mexico the roulette
wheel faro table and all other forms
of gambling went out of commission.
OF course the new law had no effect
in Roswell as TO the games mention
ed, the regular forms of licensed gam
bling having passed from use by city
legislation over two years ago. But
here, the same as in the other towns
and cities of the Territory, the slot
machine went out of business. The
81 machines in Roswell that had
been under license were turned face
to the wall or their cranks removed
at twelve o'clock New Years eve.
Some of the owners of the ma
chimes were seen by Record repOr-
ter today, and they stated that the
owners had no intention of fighting
the law. All propose to abide by the
ruling of Attorney General James NJ.
Hervey when he classed slot ma
chimes with all other gambling de
vices. But they do propose to fight
to secure a refund of proportionate
part of the money they have paid in
for licenses that have not expired but
which cannot be used under the new
law. A concerted effort throughout
the territory will be made to recover
this money.
The old law required that nothing
less than a years license could be
issued. Those whose licenses ran out
last September, October, or any 9th
er time il the past year, and who
wanted to continue in the business
as long as the law would not allow
them to use it after January l, 1908
1t is the proportionate part of this
fee that they will seek to have re
funded In Roswell this money will
amount to over thousand dollars,
many of the licenses having been re-
newed during the past few months.
The annual license on a slot machine
in Roswell is $50 to the city and $51
to the county, $71 in all. TAe money
all goes to the school funds, and the
machine owners hope to have the
county commissioners empowered 10
refund the part of the license fee
from which no benefit has been de-
rived If this fails they will endeavor
to get al appropriation from the next
legislature covering the amount The
saloon men are. to large extent, the
owners of the slot machines. They
lost in liquor license about $500,
they claim, in way similar to the
one in which they are threatened
with losing slot machine license mon
ey when the number OF saloons in
Roswell was cut down. Many of them
had their Territorial license paid far
ahead and the fee had to be forfeited
when they did not take out city IL
eanses. The Territory refused to re-
fund then on the ground that it. the
Territory, stood ready to give them
Or anyone else that had the price
license to sell liquor in Roswell.
The amount of slot machine license
maid on 27 machines to the city in
one year is $40, to the county
s1.377: total, s1,917. The profit on
them is said to be enormous, running
as high as SIPS a month on some
machines.

gambler, was convicted of the murder
of Tony Stauffaucher, a bartender in
a saloon in Roswell, who was shot
and killed in 1908. Mullins, it is ell

the fatal shooting affray.

weeks ago trying to have her brother
pardoned.

New Mexico cities are taking the
lead in raising the saloon licenses.
The object of the measures is frank
" stated to be to reduce the number
of saloons in proportion to popula-
ton. Of course the end is attained
for there is a limit beyond which sa-
loon men cannot remain in business
and pay license.
Albuquerque has recently increas-
ed the license from $1,000 to $500.
This, on the top of the closing of the
gambling, will put many saloons out
III business in Albuquerque. The
town will be better off, and all legit-
innate demand for liquor or for places
of popular resort will still be met.
Ell Paso has about one saloon to ev-
cry so men and nobody can reason
ably claim that this is not excessive.
The Roswell city council, at the
request of mayor Stockard, passed
an ordinance reducing the saloon Ii
cense from $4,000 a year to $1,000
But public opinion soon made itself
heard, and within very few days
the council met and rescinded its ac-
ton. thus restoring the license to
50 600. Roswell has very few saloons,
and it is not recorded that a single
desirable family ever stayed away
from Roswell as result of the small
number of saloons.

MAYS MAY WIN OUT

A report reached Jacksonville last
night that Judge John W. Malone of
the second judicial circuit had decid-
ed that the third congressional district
executive committee had no right to
go behind the returns. and that the
action Of the committee in declaring
J. Walter Kehoe the nominee of the
democratic party for congressman
from the third congressional district
was null and void.
II the report relative to the decision
of Judge Malone is correct ii is very
probable that the committee will ap-
peal to the supreme court from the
decision of Judge Malone, and then
will come up a test of the cOnstitu-
tionality of the primary eectiOn law
of the state.
Some well posted politicians and
some who have taken very little part
in politics, hold that once the SUI
preme court is called upon to pass
upon the constitutionality of the state
primary law, it will be a death blow
to the law. but that remains TO be
seen.-Times-U Union. July so.

High Springs, July CIV. H.
Moreland, a drummer for the Ridley
WilIiamson-Spain Company Of Allan
ta Ga. was hot and killed by an I'M
known man on a prominent street
here tonight at II o'clock.
Mr.. Moreland arrived in High
Springs today and rented a vacant
room in one of the stores of the town
to use as a sample room. After COM
plotting all arrangements he went to
his hotel, remaining there until late
in the evening, when he strOlled down
town to the business part of the city,
when suddenly there was a fash and
a report and Mr.. Moreland sank to
the sidewalk without a grOan with a
bullet just above the heart.
His assailant bolted and ran with
cries of Catch him!" and a dozen
men in pursuit, but the assassin es-
capped, and it is not known whether
he is a white man or a negro.
Men went quickly to Mr.. MOreland's
assistance, but he did not speak after
being shot, and died in about fifteen
minutes.
The marshal at Newberry was tele-
graphed for to bring his bIoodhounds
here, which will arrive at a. m. and
will be put on the trail Of the assail-
ant. From letters found on Mr.. More
land, his home is at Woodbury., Ga.
and his mother has been telegraphed
to for disposition of the body. No mo-
tive is known for the dastardy deed.

5. A. RAWLs TALKS ABOUT CON-
WCTS

Startling revelations brought out
by the Georgia legislature in investi-
eating alleged abuses in connection
with the convict lease system of that
state have naturally brought into gen
eral discussion the matter of abolish
ing the system in Florida, which many
have long favored.
Conditions in Florida however. ap-
pear to be entirely different from
those existing in Georgia, particularly
as the system does not offer the same
chances for graft and political trick
cry as that of Georgia, prominent Off
Gals of which have been brought into
decidedly bad repute by disclosures
made. 1t is also generally known that
the authorities of Florida enforce bet
ter treatment of convicts than those
of Georgia.
RawIs Talks Interestingly

abOlishing the lease system in Flor
ida a Metropolis representative this
morning called on s. A. Rawls. head
Of S. A. Rawls & Co.. lessees of the
state cOnvicts. who was asked for an
expression on the subject.
"Of course the situation in Georgia
has to a great extent revived the talk
of abolishing the system in Florida, 4"
said Mr.. Rawls, land | do not see
how this could be otherwise, for con-
ditions in our neighboring state appear
to have reached the limit in every
way. The principal cause OF COM
plant In Georgia is the graft feature
about which / have had knowledge
for several years, and | have known
for a long time that startling revela-
tons would eventually be made. AS
the lessees pay all salaries. however,
making the payment OF a salary by
both state and lessee impossible. the
chance for graft in Florida is cut
down to a decidedly low notch.
Invites Inspection
"The people of Florida may rest as
sured that no such conditions prevail
in this state" continued Mr.. Rawls,
"and l cordially invite any newspaper
reporter, state official or private citi-
zen to investigate every feature of
the work of S. A. Rawls & Co, and l
will personally aid in such investiga-
ton and have all my employees to do
likewise. You will find conditions far
different in Florida from those in

A WORKOUT CONTENTION

In spite of the attempt Dy Judge
Taft to make his speech Of accept
ance cOnciliatory and at least appar-
emily fair, he falls into the old plan
of claiming prosperity as the neces-
sary effect of the success Of his party,
and business disaster as the sure at
|tendant of democratic success.
This pretense has done duty ex-
.tensiyely in recent years, and for a
time it was supported by a series of
fortunate accidents. To be sure the
contention Of republican success is al
ways followed by good times had
nothing to support it. The republi-
cans won in 1872 by a great majority,
and yet the panic of the next year
was tremendous, and the dull times
lasted for half a dozen years, with nu-
meTous bankruptcies and ali sorts of
financial wrecks. But this was a gen
GRAFTON ago, and is remembered i'm
perfectly by the mass of the pOpula-
ton.
Fifteen years ago the panic came
hard after a democratic triumph. Just
as that of 1873 came after a repubh-
can victory. Moreover the panic of
1898 came before there had been any
legislation by the democrats, and
could not fairly be attributed to any
such cause. But the fact that it came
during a democratic administration
was accepted by a great many as
proof that it was caused by the demo
Gratis. BY the time a new president
was inaugurated the dull times had
run their course, and prosperity
speedily returned. That the panic
and the recovery happened to follow
close upon a democratic and republi.
can victory was a mere coincidence
In the 70's the same thing occurred
without any change of parties, though
the country declared against the re-
publicans in 1874 and 1876. But the
coincidence of these events was fOT-
tunate for the republicans, and they
got the benefit of it.
All this, however, was changed last
year. The republicans were in pow
er in all departments of the govern
ment and yet a panic came on. They
insist that they were not to blame for
it, but certainly they were as much
TO blame as were the democrats in
1898. They had already announced
the rule that republican success
meant prosperity; republican defeat
adversely, so they were stopped from
saying the panic had no partisan bear
ing. They had insisted to the contra
ry for many years, and were so COM
mitted to a principle which the bust
ness reverses showed to be untena-
bic.
In spite OF this demonstration of
the falsity of the republican cOnten-
ton, the party's candidate for the
presidency comes forward and insists
that democratic success means disas-
ter. while republican success means
prosperity. This contention Is out
worn. Not only are the facts OF long
ago opposed to it, but recent events,
contemporary history, show it to be
founded.-Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal.
