ooh, no, not at all. I shall stay

ply.
1t is understood that Mr.. Martinez
is awaiting the acceptance of this
proposition he has made to the PROS
pective buyers.
An article in the Las Vegas Optic
OF March % deals with the situation
as though pointing to political am
billions ON the part of Mr. Martinez.
The main portion OF its deductions Is
fatty refuted by Mr.. Martinez's state
ment of last evening concerning his
contineud residence in this city. The
article is as follows.
The democratic leaders of San MI
guel county held a meeting behind
closed doors Monday night, in the Of
flee of National Committeeman A \.
Jones. for the purpose. it is under-
stood of formulating plans to aid in
the establishment of a real democrat
ic daily newspaper, to be published
at Albuquerque.
Much secrecy has been maintains
ed regarding the enterprise ana it Is
difficult to learn just what the plan
Is. but it has leaked out from various
sources that Don Felix Martinez has
a proposition to the demo-
of the territory which they are
to meet
1t is SAID ON very good authority
that the willy old democratic leader
has expressed his willingness to put.
a $4,000 printing plant in the Duke
City on condition that the democrats
of the territory will guarantee a paid
circulation OF 5000 for three years.
1T is being whispered among the
knowing ones that Mr.. Martinez has
long cherished a desire to be one OF
the first senator's from the new state
of New Mexico. and has been keeping
ear to the ground for many
months, that he might come back TO

TAkESBANK'SROL
Lone Robber Holds Up Place in
Heart of Fort Worth,
Texas.
WALKS OUT WITH $500
MingIes With Crowd While Cashier,
Who Was Alone, Called Up
the Police.

Fort Worth, Texas, June 23.--In true
frontier style highwayman, describ-
ed as genteel in appearance, robbed
the branch banking house of the Wag-
goner Bank Il Trust company, in the
central section of the downtown dis
trict of Fort Worth yesterday after
noon of $500 in currency, and made
his escape.
Most Daring I'm Years.
The robbery was the most daring
committed in Texas in years. Cashier
Walter E. King was alone in the bank
at the time a o'clock, balancing the
business of the day, when well dress
ed stranger walked in. AS the man
approached the window of the cash
ier's desk, King looked up and down
the barrel of a revolver Next came
the demand for the money in sight.
Make a move or noise of any
kind and I'll kill you, was the greet
ing Mr.. King remembers.
The cashier complied, and, stuffing
the roll of bills, $500, in denomina
tions ranging from 81 to $40, in his
pocket, the man backed out of the door
under cover of his pistol, and as Mr.
King ran 10 a telephone he saw the
man walking down the street and
mingling with the crowds-with an all
of unconcern.
Seen by Many.
The police reached the scene five
minutes later, but the stranger had dis
appeared At the time of the robbery
several hundred people were in the
vicinity of the building, and many not
ed the arrival at the bank and the de
parture of the man, but his manner
was bland. Several declare that he
climbed into a waiting automobile af
ter walking several blocks. but the po
lice place little credence in this asser
ton, and it is believed he is still in
Fort Worth.

SHOCK FOR FRANCE
Navy Found to Be Full of De-
fects and of Little Use
in War.
REPORT FROM COMMISSION
Lengthy Document Sets Forth Fact:
Indicating that $7OO,OOO,OOO
Has Been Wasted.

Paris, June 23.-The report of the
parliamentary commission which in
vestigated the naval scandals in France
has been turned in. 1t is a scathing
condemnation of the naval administra-
lion for the past 10 years, and it makes
an astounding exposure of the deplora-
Bile condition of the fleet for which
France has spent $70O,OOO,O0O since
1890.
Is Much IncOmpetency.
The $50 pages of the report are filled
with details of the inefficiency result
ing from confusion and red tape, con-
ditions that make French naval con-
struction cost 25 per cent more than
English or German. AS an evidence
Of these methods it is pointed out that
cast iron shells of large caliber. con-
demned after the accident to the bat
tleship Iona, continued to be manufac-
tured in larger quantities than ever
for two whole years.
The Patrie, the RepubliQue and other
ships of this class were found equip
ped with secondary guns of a model of
1886 instead of 1902, as the specifica-
tions required Neither the ammuni-
tion nor the guns for the six ships of
the Danton type, to be completed in
1911, will be ready before 1914, and
France has not single dry dock ca
pable of accommodating these vessels
when they are finished.
Lack of Reserve Supplies.
Perhaps the gravest feature of the
exposure is the lack of reserve coal
and ammunition supplies at the various
ports and arsenals.
One officer testified before the com,
mission that at the end of naval bat
tie of six hours the ships would find it
impossible to replenish and would be
virtually cut of commission.
The committee recommends the com.
plete reorganization of the department
The elimination of red tape and the
distribution of responsibility. It in
sists especially upon the creation of a
department of construction and equip
ment entirely separate from the gen
eral staff.
