article on the mail order business:

A BIT OF STAGE WORK
FOR PRESIDENT TAFT.

Washington, March 10.-Through
James H. McKenney, the veteran
clerk of the Supreme Court of the
United States, it is learned that Pres
ident Taft's lips fell Upon a very sig
nifcent passage, when, after taking
the oath of office, he kissed the sa-
cred volume. Mr.. Taft r~everently
leaned over and toched his lips to
the open Book, they fell upon b third
chapter of First Kings, reading:
"Give therefore Thy servant an un-
Outstanding heart to judge Thy peo-
pie that / may discern between good
and bad, for who is able to Judge this
Thy so great people" This was the
prayer of Solomon at the beginning
of his reign and the passage closes
with the statement that the prayer
was answered because OF its unsehish
character.

WOODRUFF TELLS EN-
NEW MEXICO Is O. X.
The following interview from Kirby
s. Woodruff came from Washington,
ID. c., yesterday:
'The people of New Mexico are not
discouraged. They will get statehood
we hope at the coming session of con-
gress," said X. s. Woodruff, a well
known resident of Roswell, N. M,
who came here for the Inauguration
and remained over for a few days on
business before the interior depart
ment.
New Mexico is not the land of law
less people it has been represented.
The people who nave brought criti-
cism onGthe territory are not residents
OF New Mexico, abut came into the ter
rftoryi merely seeking opportunities to
exploit its resources, without any in
tention of remaining. AS good peo-
Pile are found in New Mexico general
~ as in any state in the union. 1t is
true that in western New Mexico
there are not as many well settled com
munities as are found in the eastern
part where agriculture is the great
industry. I venture to a that there
is no section of the United States that
can boast of finer soil. Alfalfa land in
New Mexico yields it's owner from
$50 to SIS pei acre annually, while
orchards bring an income of $3.50 to
5000 per acre. All over the territory
land has advanced in value during the
past yea at a marvellous rate. I
know of one large tract that was sold
a few weeks ago on which there was
an advance of $4,000 a week after it's
sale. This merely shows what great
strides we are making in a material
way. We are entitled to statehood

it, Notwithstanding the immense
amount of unjust criticism which has
been heaped upon us recently. New
Mexicans generally welcome the full

senate committee on territories or any
other body that congress cares to
send out"

last night in his room in the New
York Athletic club Broken in health
from overwork in his long fight to
maintain a high standard of baseball,
Pulliam in a moment of mental aber-
ration. his friends say, shot himselt.
Pulliam went to his room early last
night, and lying on sofa, fired Dul-
let into his head. The ball entered the
right temple fracturing the frontal
bone, tore out the right eye and passed
out at the left temple. He was found
living near the telephone by club
servant who was sent to find out who
was trying for a telephone connection.
"I think he struggled on the floor
for two hours" said DR.. L. Hamilton
Burch, "and that he was so overcome
with the intense pain that he tried
to get to the telephone to send for me.
He probably got the receiver off the
hook and then lost his strength en-

Passing of Veteran
Pulliam's death marks the passing
of one of the most interesting figures
of baseball. Imbued with the idea
that the complete success of baseball
rested on honesty, he often found him
self opposed by some of his associates.
Worry over his troubles with the
leagues leaders brought on a nervous
break down last winter and his tenn
porary retirement. He resumed his
active labor about a month ago.
The funeral probably will be held
in Louisville.

Worried by Controversies
A succession of controversies bore
hard on the presidents nervous tenn

showed signs of a break down.
Pulliam wanted to make public the
names of the men who, he SAID, tried
to bribe the umpires in the last ChI-
cago-NeW York championship game
He had become imbued with the idea
that the league magnates were perse-
cutting him, and that unless the names
of the alleged bribers were published
the snort of baseball was doomed. Dur
ing the banquet which followed tne
directors meeting Pulliam suddenly
rose and began a bitter TRADE against

moods and take him to a matinee or

ways was square man.

he naturally made enemies in backing
up umpires, because that can't be
