KILLS HIMSELF BECAUSE
OF BRYAN'S DEFEAT

Trinidad, Colo, Feb. 1.-Brooding
over the defeat of William J. Bryan,
coupled with ill-health and the loss OF
his fortune, drove John Cockburn,
wealthy Democratic leader OF
Lansing, Mich, to take his life. He
attempted to hide his identity, sign
ing his last message John Coburn, un-
der which name he registered at the
Commercial hotel.
He also had destroyed all the marks
on his clothing and torn into small
bits number of papers and letters.
He overlooked one letter which had
dropped in corner of the clothes
closet, and it was through this that
his real name was learned.
Cockburn swallowed the contents OF
AN ounce bottle of laudanum. His
groans attracted attaches of the hotel,
but before physician could be sum-
:moned the man was dead.

Young Armiio received thorough
education in st. Louis where he at
tended the Christian Brothers Col.
lege. Finishing his college course. he
returned to New Mexico, settling
down in Santa Fe, ready to take
active part in public affairs. He has

on a number of territorial boards and
in a number of territorial offices. In
1913 he was chief clerk of the House.
He is at present, in addition to his
other duties, the official interpreter of
the First Judicial Court. His varied
clerical experiences have fitted him
for almost any position, and he can al
ways be banked upon to
give absolute satisfaction, no
matter what the position. His
fervent patriotism was manifested
in forcible manner when in 1898 he
was one of the first to offer his SER
vices for the Spanish-American war
and enlisted forthwith in troop F,
First regiment, T. S. volunteer cav.
airy, known as the Rough Riders.
Armijo was made a sergeant and saw
active service in Cuba. In the fight
at Las Guasimas he was wounded. AT,
ter recovering, he again joined his
troop, serving until honorably dis
charged. Thus is Armijo not only an
able and highly esteemed citizen, but
also an honored war veteran. In 1902
he was happily married to Miss Jo-
sefita Manderfield, and with her and
a promising young son, named after
his godfather. President Theodore
Roosevelt, Armijo has good cause to
feel happy and contented.

FOR THE SQUARE DEAL IN
ASSESSMENT AND TAXATION
Governor Curry Makes Forcible Ad.
dress to Chairmen Of County Com
missioners in Convention As
sembled.-. -.Officers Elected

Governor Curry, in an address that
is the equitable assessment of prop
erty throughout the territory, and the
better collection of taxes, this fore
noon opened the meeting of chairmen
of boards Of county commissioners,
which had gathered in the hall of rep
resentatives upon the call Of the gov
ernor to discuss assessment and tax
alton methods and to formulate some
plan and to arrive at a better under
standing upon those vital topics. In
addition to the chairmen of county
boards there were present other
county commissioners and county, Off
cials, especially many assessors. The
convention organized by electing Hon.
/. Sparks of Santa Fe, chairman; Hon.
A. G. Heard of Carlsbad, vice-chair-
man; and Travelling Auditor Charles
V. Stafford, secretary. The conven-
ton met again this afternoon in the
county court house at 2 o'clock.
The convention convened shortly
after o'clock this afternoon and w.
M. Atkinson introduced DR.. C.. E.
Lukens, who spoke for some time.
upon the work of the Children's Home
at Albuquerque. Following his ad-
dress, Mr.. Atkinson moved that the
chairmen of the board of county COM
missioners present sign the petition
asking the legislature for an appro-
priation for his school. The motion
prevailed.
C. V. Stafford, territorial travelling
auditor, spoke outlining the work of
the convention. He agreed with Gov
ernor Curry's remarks of the morn
ing session that there should be an
incease in property valuation through
out the territory to secure a reduced
taxation rate and that more equitable
assessment should be made. He dwelt
at length upon the matter OF lands
which seems to be the most important
one as they differ in value through

FlREMEN FRosT-BITTEN
WHILE FIGHTING BLAZE

Schenectady, N. Y, Feb. THE
Central Arcade, consisting of twenty
stores on the ground floor and Offices,
society rooms and a printing plant
above, were destroyed by fire today.
The building was formerly used for
Clute Brothers machine shops, where
the famous United States monitor,
which defeated the Merrimack in
Hamton Roads during the Civil war,

out the territory and have been vari
ously assessed. In some instances
valuable timber land has been re
turned as grazing land at 80 cents pei
acre. Some good agricultural lant
has also been returned as grazing land
and, withal, it has been a difficult
matter to secure equitable returns OF
valuation of lands.
He expressed the desire that the
convention should discuss the matter
and endeavor to reach some rate or
adopt some scale Of values.
The trouble seems to lie with the
big land grants as well as large in
dividual holdings. Agricultural lands
have been more fairly assessed
Chairman Sparks then took the
floor and spoke along the same line
He cited an instance where mining
grant was assessed at 10 cents an acre
while individual holdings of a smaller
nature adjoining and of precisely the
same nature were assessed at SIS per
acre.
A general discussion then ensued
the various members and chairmen
EXPRESSING their views and citing
cases of unequal assessment. In this
way it is hoped to reach something
definite.
Almost all the counties are repre-
sented by their commissioners, the
following being present: Bernalillo,

COLDFIELD SWAhPS THE MINT

- 7 OW WHAT do yu think Of this!
III eoldfeld is swapping TIN historic old mint at Carson City, until
4 y the golden stream must be turned aside and diverted to the larger in
stnuion at San Francisco.
only a few days ago the Godfed Consolidated made a shipment of gold
bullion to the mint at Carson. 1t was no a very great shipment as Godhed
shipments go-being only 100000. but it raj enough to swamp the Carson
mint and the min authorities had to refuse it!
The Godfed Consolidated mill is turning tut about threeq quarters of a
million dollars per month, the Florence mill has scarcely gotten under head
way and the Nevada Ghdfed and Western mills are constantly increasing
their output. What i, he mini at Carson geing to do when these mills get
bullion, now7 And what is the rest of the state going to do?
This matter of handling bullion is mighty expensive. OF course ship
ment can b mad to h mint at San Francisco, but why should Nevada miners
be nj t. the expense If sending their bullion to that point when there is a
min within or state. and placed here for or accommodation?
The facilities al Carson City are totally and lamentahy inadequate to thu
needs of Nevada mining The government has always been niggardly in its
policy toward the Carson mint and especially linz the time If a certain scan
practically closed down at that time. AMI remained so for years Only a com
paratively small business was being dole and the help waso only nominal. But
within the past few years the gold bullion produced in Nevada has quadmphd
OIL more. and still nothing has been done at tte mint to prepare for these new
conditions. Our dispatches relate that when here is al unusualf flow of gold %
the mint the superintendent of that Institution has to pull his coat and work
along with the janitor and III melter to keep the work moving.
The attention II IL authorities of Washington to this condition, should
be compelled. For some Tim citizens If Carson, better acquainted with the
conditions than te rest Of h state, have been petuaoning Washington for an
appropriation to enlarge tn mint improve its Anticipated machinery. and put
in adequate help. but Washington has turned a deaf ear. II is time now
hat h wholes state begin a bombardment an see if w cannot compel atten-
ton.
