NOT A VERY GOOD ARGU-
MENT FOR STATEHOOD.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 1.-THE re-
peal of what is ,denomilated by some
jurists as the most peculiar law in
the United States, is the idea of a
joint resolution introduced in the
house today by Birdsell, of Iowa The
law in question is a New Mexico stat
ute which has been in force five
years, under which all damage suits
against New Mexican railroads for
personal injuries must be brought in
the courts of that territory, and affi-
davits in support thereof must be
made personally within the territory
and before the expiration of ninety
days from the date of the accident
Failure having occurred to institute
suit within the prescribed time, the
railroad company concerned may it
self institute suit against such per-
son and obtain Judgment of non-lia-
bility. Representative Birdsell stig-
matized the law as the "strangest
on American statute

JUDGE j, 7. EVANS.

Judge Evans has decided not to
run for congress, and announces him.
self candidate for reelection to the
office of Probate Judge, subject to
the action of the Democratic primary
election. Judge Evans has served four
terms in the office, and stands on his
record. He has lived here about fif-
teen years, and like many other good
politicians and good citizens came
from Texas, where he was duly reg
istered as simon pure Democrat and
a racelhorse in politics. He taught
school four terms in Coleman coun-
ty, Texas, practiced law, served two
terms as county judge, and was offer
ed the state senatorship which he de-
clined just before moving to this
country. There is probably nobody in
the county with nerve enough to un-
dertake to defeat Judge Evans either
at the primaries or at the county cleo
ton. He is so popular that even the
fact that he has held the office four
terms will cut no figure.

SIX MILLION DOLLAR
FIRE IN NEW YORK.

New York, Jan. 11.-Firemen began
this morning searching the ruins of
the Parker building at corner of
Tenth street and Fourth avenue for
the bodies of the three fremen re-
ported missing after the calling of
the roll of companies that took part
in fighting the spectacular fire that
destroyed the thirteen story building
last night causing a loss variously
estimated at amounts reaching a to-
tai of six million dollars. The fire in
the upper stories gained such great
headway that it was unchecked, be-
ing beyond the reach of the fire de-
partment's water tower. Sensational
rescues we're feature of the fire.
Over score of firemen sustained in
jrries.
The fire was officially declared to
be under control at seven O'Clock to-
day, but Deputy Chief Binns warned
the police to keep the people as far
away as possible from the wrecked
building, as there was danger that it

trolley lines and trains in the sub
way past the building was suspended
lest the building might collapse and
crash into the underground tube.
From Information given by the oc-
cupants of surrounding buildings it
is believed that the fire was in prog
ress fully an hour before it was dis
covered by the superintendent of the
American Lithographic Company di-
rectly across the street. He smelled
smoke an hour before the alarm was
given but could not locate the source.
Deputy Chief Binls says the reason
fire gained such headway was lack
of water pressure.

AUTO COMPANY WILL
DOUBLE ITS SERVICE.

The daily service of the Roswell
Automobile Company between Ros-
well and Torrance is to be doubled
the next thirty days. This announce
ment was made by the company's
manager, J. W.Stockard, to a Rec
ord reporter this morning. An increase
in the postal contract is expected
within the time, and it is this that
will make the increased service pos
sible. However, Manager Stockard
may put the double service into eff
feet before the new contract arrives.
At present one car makes the run
either way every day. When more
than one car makes the run it is be-
cause of an increase in the passen-
ger business. car leaves Torran ce
at four or five o'clock each morning
and reaches Roswell by noon. At one
a returning car leaves Roswell and
it's schedule time into Torrance is
eight O'Clock the same evening The
new plan will he to continue these
cars anu start dI1Olu0T ITOH1 flOSWtli
at six o'clock each mor,.ing and let
it return the same afternoon, reaching
Roswell by night. The new car would
reach Torrance by eleven O'Clock and
make connections with the Golden
State Limited, upon which passengers
could reach FL Paso at 500 the after
noon of the same day they left ROs
well.
The double auto service would
make waits at Torrance of shorter
duration, in case of late trains in
coming this way, and the connections
would be better in all directions. Con
Meeting with the Golden State Limited
passengers from Roswell would have
a short and direct ride to California
and the Pacific coast

GLEN MAIL ROUTE DIS
CONTINUED: GREATLY MISSED

On January a recent order of the
Post Office Department went into eff
feet, by which the mail route from
Roswell to Glen, rs miles north of
here, was discontinued. BY this same
order Glen is to be supplied from Sun
1yside, which is on the railroad and
is much nearer than Roswell But the
mail route between Roswell and Glen
is greatly missed by the people liv-
ing between the two terminals, who
were supplied with pouches that were
dropped by the driver of the stage
Among those missing the route the
most is F. w. Flato, of the Riverside
Irrigation Co, who was here today
getting up petition to the Depart
ment, asking that post office be es-
tablished at the headquarters of the
company and be named Riverside"
i he new post Office would be % miles
north of Roswell and would probably
be supplied from Fort Sumner The
signatures will be secured in the coun
try that would patronize the new of
