ROOSEVELT THE MOD
ERN PROPHET ISAIAH.

Chicago, Feb. 4.-Rev. A. c. Dix
on, pastor of Moody church, which
has one of the largest congregations
in Chicago, in an interview last night
compared President Roosevelt to the
prophet Isaiah, in crying out the ma
tion's sins, and declared that Roose-
welt is the first of all the presidents
to apply uni1terruptedly Christian
principles to every day life and to
the enforcement of the law. The inter
view followed a prayer meeting at
which, in an address, Mr.. Dixon de
cIared the Presidents latest message

District Attorney l.. o. Fullen, who
has just returned from his eastern
trip, today said to Record reporter:
Inasmuch as l have received many
queries from this and other counties
of the district as to the new gam bling
law applying to dice games for cigars
in stores and resorts and to private
card games for money, l would like
to say to the public that while the
new law is somewhat ambiguous, and
while the courts will have to pass on
it before the question is ultimately
settled, 1 will hold that it absolutely
prohibits gambling in any style, in
cluding the kinds mentioned, and will
act in an official capacity accordingly
from this time on. All those interested
viii please consider this the notice
l have promised"
The district attorney spent a week
in Washington, visited the President
and went through all the depart
ments. He found all the officials at
the National capital very friendly to
New Mexico, but the desire to have
this congress do absolutely nothing
that might possibly create any talk
or stir up any political discussion un-
til after the presidential election
keeps the Territory out of the Union
at this time All are confident that
as soon as the statehood bill is al
lowed to pass from tne committee
and to be voted upon. it will easily
win in both houses. But that will not
be before next session.
Speaking of other subjects, Mr.,
Fullen said:
..As to RoswelIs Federal building.
it seems almost a certainty that the
appropriation will be made. The com
desired in its report, and unless con
gress goes wild on the subject of
economy in appropriations, as it some
times does, and cuts everything right
and left, Roswell will secure its
building.
Il will locate my headquarters in
Roswell in a few days and move my
Office from Carlsbad. 1 am now having
a suite of office rooms prepared for
occupancy over the First National
Bank and hope to move into them
this week Roswell will then be my
home.

LETTER DELIVERED
AFTER FORTY YEARS.

New York, Feb. 4.-After it lad
been more than forty years in the
mails, a letter was delivered yeste--
day to Mrs. Elizabeth r. Nicholas, of
Newark, NJ J. Yesterday morning a
New York newspaper reported that
there had been received at the post
office a letter addressed to Miss Eliz
abetl Carthwaite, the postmark of
which showed that it was mailed at
New Orleans December 80, 1854. The
letter proved to have been addressed
to Mrs. Nicholas maiden name, and
was written by her cousin, Miss Fan
ME Brotten, who now lives in Ell
Paso, Texas, and who attended school
with Mrs Nicholas more than half a
century ago. The inside of the letter
is SO badly faded that it is hardly de-
cipherab1e, but the address is plain.
The envelope was badly worn, but
held together. No one is able to offer
an explanation for the whereabouts of
the letter during the years since it
was mailed

IN the list as an approved project"
to cost $S,OO0,000, exclusive of the
Leasburg unit already completed. This
is an advance of $1,000, 900 over the
original estimate, but means no In
crease in the payments to be made
by farmers, since congress has ap-
propriated $1,OO0,OO0 to pay Mexico's
share. Many of the estimates on pro-
jects throughout the West have been
increased. owing to the increased cost
of labor and material in the last two
or three years, and the increased mar
gingin required by contractors on ac-
count of the difficulties of securing
prompt transportation of men and
material as needed, entafling costly
delays.
Other matters of interest in the
southwest, discussed in the secreta-
rvs report, are national parks, ma
tional monuments, and the state of
the two territories.

Fire, Big Wind, Little Damage.

The fire alarm at 1: 80 this after
noon VAS sent in on account of burn
ing grass on the lot south and east
of the Lewis hardware store. The
fire was heading for some sheds that
belong to Frank Easton, pushed on
by a stiff wind, when the department
arrived and completed the work OF
extin gushing the blaze which had
been partially accomplished by citi-
zens. The fire wagon struck 14Lyear-
old boy named Carr at the alley back
of the Roswell Hardware Company's
store, but did not seriously hurt him.
The boy was riding a bicycle and he
could not get out of the way of the
wagon; neither could the wagon be
turned away from him.

James E. Clark, Territorial Super
intendent of Public instruction, who
has spent a fortnight in the Pecos
Valley looking after the duties of his
office, left this morning on mis- way
to his home in Santa Fe. Before leav-
ing he spoke enthusiastically of the
schools of Roswell and the Pecos
Valley to Record reporter Refer
ring generally to the schools of the
valley, he said:
You people over here don't need
any school encouragement or inter
cession. l find that you have the
right school spirit, and all you need
is to be let alone. You are right at
the top among the schools of the
Territory. Roswell has as good
schools as can be found in New Mexi-
co, or in any of the states in towns
of this size. You can we'll be proud of
your public schools"
Then referring to Roswell in par
to be one of the most delightful
places in the Southwest. Speaking of
the New Mexico Military Institute. he
said that the school had a great rep
utation all over the territory, and
that after visiting it., he found the
institution to be worthy of its great
name in every respect.
Mr.. Clark delivered a lecture at
the Central school building last night
before fair sized audience compos-
ed largely of the patrons and friends
of the schools. He spoke of territorial
educational conditions, of, possible
changes that could be made to the
greater advancement of the system
and of its good points as well. His
address proved quite interesting to
the officers and others more closely
identified with the work of promot-
ing the cause of education.

New York, Feb. A wireless mes
steamer Cymric gives details of the
burning of the steamer ST. Cuthbert
at sea. Soon after the Cymric sight
ed the burning vessel the steamer
Cambria also came up and the two
ships lay by for several hours await
ing a chance to safely lower boats,
terrific wind at the time making it
impossible for boats to live. Finally
the Cymric got a bat away, and after
hard fight with the waves, aided
by oil which the boat crew spread on
the water succeeded in reaching the
side Of the ship. Ten men, all fright
fully burned, made their way over
the side and into the boat which re-
turned with them to the C.ymric. The
Same boat made a second and third
trip, rescuing 81 men in all. On the
last trip the boat was stove in by
wave and barely reached the side of
the Cymric in safety The rescued of
ficers and crew tell a story of terri
Die SlHer1nS. Inc Hf0 was discovered
Saturday, and shortly after it's dis
covery there was terrible explosion
which blew off all the matches in the
forward part of the ship and destroy
ed half the bridge. A boat was imme
diately lowered, but was smashed by
the waves, and fifteen men, including
the third officer, were drowned. For
thirty-six hours the crew fought the
fire, but with little success, as the
vessel was loaded with inf1ammable
materials. There were nine stowa-
ways on the ship, and all were burn
ed to death. The crew kept up a gal
liant fight and were rescued just in
time, as the fire was gaining rapidly
when the Cymric arrived. A number
of those rescued are badly burned,
and it is expected that some will die.

BRITISH INFLUENCE CAUSED
FRANCOIS RETIREMENT.

Paris, Feb. 4-La Petit Parisienne
declares today that on Saturday night
in Lisbon, Premier Franco guaranteed
to restore order if he were given full
power and allowed to deport three
hundred persons. He was aware, he
said, however, that his request would
not be granted, and consequently pre-
ferred to retire and leave the coun'
try. 1t is possible, the paper contin-
ues, that the influence of the British
government being invoked by Queen
Amelie was instrumental in causing
the dictatorship to be discontinued.
