ROOSEVELT ON AN
INDEPENDENT TICKET
Circulars Received In Albuquerque
Today From Mysterious Source.

Circulars, together with button pic
lures of Theodore Roosevelt. were re-
celved in Albuquerque today, each
bearing the signature OF F. L. Bill
ger, Chicago, chairman of advisory
board.
The circulars are headed "Roose-
welt Second Term League" and urge
the nomination and election of Roose-
welt to the presidency for another
term. The circulars set aside his first
term, 10 which he succeeded from the
vice presidency and declare the pres
ident has only served one term and
that 10 elect him again would not
set a third term precedent. The cir
culars declare that II the Republican
national convention does not nomi-
nate Roosevelt, he will be nominated
by an Independent national conven-
tion and elected. The circulars fur
ther say that Roosevelt has not been
consulted, which Is quite likely true,
as the presidents determination not
to be a candidate Is beyond question.
These circulars caused considerable
comment among Republic ans who re-
ceived them today, but no one took
the matter seriously.

new SOCIAL LINES
DRAWN At A DANCE
Las Vegas Wedding Celebration
Clouded by the Attendance of
Those Who Were Not
Invited.

Las Vegas, y. NJ, May 23.-At
least forty people among whom were
representatives. of some Of the best
families of the town, were ordered
to leave Mackel's opera house Thurs
day night when a wedding dance was
in progress.
Pascual Sacomano and Miss Corine
e. Blest were united in marriage
Thursday morning at the church of
Our Lady of Sorrows and in the
evening a wedding dance was given
at the West side opera house. 1t is
customary for all who are acquainted
with the contracting couple to attend
an affair of this kind and last night
was no exception.
Everything went along merrlly un-
til 10 o'clock when a number of
those present were asked II they had
Invitations and II not to leave. Some
had invitations but did not bring
them and others who had the proper
credentials became indignant over the
affair and also departed.
Almost everyone present had
friends among those who were or
dered out and the unprecedented ac-
ton cast a damper over the social
affair for the rest of the evening. The
dance has caused new social lines to
be drawn and it will be some time be-
fore the grand ball Is forgotten.

SMALLER GRADE
DECREASES COST
Cutting Down of University Hill
Makes Project Much More Feas-
ible To Be Taken UP Again
Without Deldy---Old Sub
SCriberS Asked to Aid.

II became known today that plans
are now being prepared to install an
electric car line on the Highlands
Col. ID. X. b. Sellers, who started the
project some time ago, is behind the
present movement and expects to
build the line with the cooperation
of the property owners on the High
lands and of the business men of AL
buquerque who have subscribed for
stock in the enterpriIe.
The project was taken up by Col.
Sellers in 1906, but the plans at that
time were not carried out. Th colonel
and his associates now have a more
complete project in mind and If they
receive the support of the people of
the city they will probably take the
matter up imm ediately.
Circular letters were sent today to
those who subscribed for sock in
1906. asking them If they would aid
the present project.
The letter is as follows:
Dear Sir: In May, 1905, you signed
an agreement with me to subscribe a
bonus of $25 towards the building OF
an electric street car limo from ths
Atchison, Topeka e. Santa Fe railroac
crossing on Central avenue to the
University of New Mexico, or beyond
One-half Of the above amount to be
paid undersigned when the track Is
laid, the balance when the line is In
operation, and upon the receipt OF
the last payment stock to be issued
to you of the par value of your sub
scription.
While the proposition would be to
construct a much longer system and
on more streets than the one named,
would you still consider the agree
ment valid?
Kindly reply by return mail on this
sheet and mail to d. K. B. Sellers
Albuquerque. N. NJ.
Immediately following Mr.. Sellers
name is the word Answer" and fol-
lowing that a blank for an affirmative
or negative answer. This move
ment on the part OF Col. Sellers would
indicate that the road would be bull
in the near future IL not Immediately.
The grading OF Central avenue by the
city and the county seems 10 have
given the movement an impetus, as
the cost of constructing a road after
the University hill is cut down will b
much less than it would have been
two years ago

THE GAME WARDEN
SHOULD INVESTIGATE
RdnCherS Say They Are Not to
Blame but Would Like to Have
Means Devised for Protecting
the Fish In the River Be-
fore Supply Is Exhausted.

Thousands of fish, ranging In size
from six inches to one inch long, are
left to die almost daily in the pools
of water beside the roads and in the
alfalfa fields south of Albuquerque.
The fish escape from the river into
the irrigation bitches and are carried
out into the fields when the ranchers
irrigate their crops.
1t is said that despite the fact that
there is a law on the statute books
providing for fish screens in irrigation
bitches, the acequias from the Rio
Grande are not screened and where
they are, the screens are not kept in
repair.
There Is a game warden at Santa
Fe, but If he has ever been in Albu-
querque the ranchers along the Rio
Grande say they do not know of 1t
The sight of the fish Hopping about
in the muddy roads and in the fields
south of the city has been commented
upon by everyone in that district. Mr..
Louden, who owns a large ranch and
dairy south OF the city, recently saved
hundreds of the fish by picking them
up and placing them in his private
reservoir. DR.. George r. Gould, who
owns ranch south of the city and
also conducts the Louden academy,
said that he saw hundreds of fish dy-
ing in the mud and stagnant water
along the roadside as he came to AL
buquerque yesterday.
1.-THE ranchers in our neighborhoo
are not to blame for the conditions
existing" said DR.. Gould. "There
should be screens In the bitches north
of the city where the water is taken
from the river. The fish swarm into
spread over the fields they flop help
less out into the alfalfa and 1t Is i'm
possible to save them.
"As the water recedes into the
earth, the fish bury themselves In the
mud in an effort to prolong life. I
have found some very nice fish dead
in that manner. Thousands OF tiny
fish are sacrificed every day. They
are very small and readily escape no.
tice Many OF them die in the ace
quias when the water runs low. The
ranchers do not like to see the fish
sacrificed In that manner and try to
rescue as many as possible OF them by
picking them up and placing them In
reservoirs. The larger fish, however
are the only ones they can save. as
the smaller ones cannot be found
readily once they get into the fields
The game warden should make an
investigation OF the screens at the
sources OF the ditches II there are
any screens there"

FOUND RICH MINE NEAR
ALBUQUERQUE PROPERTY
Colonel Greene and Mexican Arc
Fighting for Possession of Ore
In chihuahua.

A number of Albuquerqueans who
are interested In the Tres Amigos
mines of Old Mexico will be Interested
in the following which appeared in
yesterdays issue of the Ell Paso Her
aid. The Tres Amigos holdings are
not very far from the Tyoa mines:
Casas Grandes, Mexico, May 40
After being hidden for centuries. the
Tyopa gold mine, which was worked
at one time by Jesuits before they
massacred and driven from the mine
of fabulous wealth, according to re-
port, has been rediscovered by a Mex
lean, and excitement is high at Te-
mosachic.
"The Tyopa mine, according to
mining men in this vicinity. was re-
Gently claimed by a Mexican, who has
heretofore claimed that he had To-
Gated the hidden treasure which was
sealed up by the Jesuits. but until the
past few days little importance has
been given to the report. but at this
time, 1t Is stated, fight is on between
Col. w. C. Greene and friends of the
Mexican to retain possession
"The mine is situated in the Quay
Nopa district, on Col w. C. Greene's
concession from the Mexican govern
ment, and, according to telephone
messages from Temosachic, Col.
Greene now has an engineer and
party of men on the site to secure
possession.
Friends of the Mexican, It is said.
have presented the matter to Acting
Governor Sanchez and Governor En-
rique Creel, of Chihuahua, and il Is
further said that the authorities at
this time are inclined to favor the
Mexican, regardless of Col Greene's
enormous acreage concession.
The Tyopa, of silvernite gold ore.
is situated three miles northeast Of
the old Guaynopa forts and few
sacks OF ore from the rich veins of
this mine, It is said, will provide a
man with sufficient money, so he will
not have to work during the remain
der of his life.
1t Is the same class of ore which
created excitement and started the
boom in Cripple Creek, according to
mining men and the attitude of the
authorities toward Col. Greene and
the reports regarding the find OF the
lost treasure are keeping the mining
camps in a furore."

CABINET MEMBERS
DISCUSSED SUIT
Only Problem Confronting Them
Was in Regard to Massachusetts
Situation and This Was Set
tied Satisfactorily Before
Meeting Adjourned.

Washington, May 23.-The White
House today made official denial of
the story that serious difference
arose between the president and At
torney General Bonaparte On the
question of bringing a suit against the
New York. New Haven & Hartford
railroad.
The story going the rounds goes
so far as to say that Bonaparte had
threatened to fesign. The White
House statement, which goes into de-
tails, is corroborated by personal
statements of the cabinet officers. The
presidents statement says
THE story is mere inv ention.
There was no difference whatever be-
tween the president and the attorney
general over the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford suit. Yesterday
morning my attention was called from
Massachusetts to the fact that the
Massachusetts state court had already
acted against the trolley lines so far
as that state Is concerned, and the
suggestion was accordingly made that
action should be brought in other
states inasmuch as the purpose of the
suit had already been achieved SO far
as Massachusetts, is concerned,
The matter was discussed in the
cabinet meeting and IL was decided
that the action or THE state court o.
Massachusetts would make no differ
ence in the course of procedure and
the newspapers which had been
asked to hold up publication of the
filing of the suit, were notified that
an announcement of the bringing OF
the suit would stand. The only ques-
ton discussed yesterday was as to
whether the suit should be brought

VALENTINE PROVED
EXPENSIVE JOKE
Young Lady Sued MaIig-
ndnt WOOer.

WILKESBARE, PA, Feb 12.-
(Special) One of the most expensive
valentines passing through the mails
was that sent to Miss Sophia Rip
pies, by John Weldon 1t cost him
$1,400 and was not SO very elaborate
at that. The trimmings cost the most
Weldon had been rejected by Miss
Ripples. She had turned him down
gently, but firmly, and he felt humil-
lated. This was shortly before St
Valentines Day last year, and, in a
spirit of revenge, he mailed her a re-
minder of the season.
1t was a homemade valentine 1t
pictured Miss Ripples with most dis
tressing features, and referred to her
age in an unkfnd way. There were
verses, too.
Those verses told how any woman
afflicted with a face such as she pos
sessed owed it as duty to a suffering
public to take her face into the deep
est recesses of the woods, and when
her face wasn't looking to run away
and leave it to a miserable fate
Miss Ripples wept and then hunted
up a lawyer. When the case was call
ed Weldon offered no defense, and the
jury promptly gave the maligned wo-
man the face lotion she sought
