leaders are rushing everything to get
the appropriation measures though

ROTTEN POLES BREAK AND
LET LINEMAN FALL

Tel Cordet, a line1nan in the employ
OF the Roswell Electric Light q Pow
er Company. had a fall from the top
of a 24-foot pole at the corner of
Main and Third streets at 1870 this
afternoon, but luckily escaped serious
injury. His left arm is in a sling with
severe bruises, and he is bruised else
where, but ne rode the pole," as the
linemen express it. and did not let ii
fall on him, consequently he was not
killed or badly injured.
The accident occurred when Mr..
Cordet cut in two three large lead"
wires running north from Third street
to Fourth on Main. AS the publis is
aware, the linemen are changing the
supply or feed" wires from Main
street to tae alleys. The task is al
most finished. in fact. Mr.. Cordet was
taking out wires that are no longer
needed on Main street. They had a
low voltage and no danger from shock
was incurred in the work. But when
the tension OF the three large wires
was released, II let the pole upon
which MIR. Cordet was working, break
as well as the two poles to the north
on Main street. All three were rotten
through and snapped of squarely al
the ground. The falling poles broke
down two or three sign boards and
part of the scaffold in front of the
Oklahoma building, but luckily nit nc
person o ranimal. There was quite a
mix-up OF the wires. and the light
plant siut down to insure safety, bu,
the falling of the poles merely saved
the work of taking them and the wires
down.

trada. the revolutionary leader In Mic
aragua, will not accept the extraordi-
nary terms laid down by the new pres
ident, Senor Madriz. as a basis for

that Madriz has proposed in a tele-
gram to Estrada a suspension of hos
tilities pending the arrival of a COM
mittee he is sending to Estrada to dis
cuss an aznicable settlement of the
present strife. General Estrada mas ex-
pressed a willingness to meet the COM
missioners, but said the revolutionary
party would not recognize the action
of the Nicaraguan congress in placing
MED most emphatically the assembly s
rigat to deal with the election of a
president and stated that he saw in
Madriz a usurper of the rights of the
Nicaraguan people.
Madriz' terms of peace are shown
in a letter addressed to a friend. He
says the revolutionists should recog-
niZe his government. then botA armies
should he disbanded; all arms and
ammunition should be turned over to
him. Within six months he would look
to the holding of an election, guaran-
teeing free voting

AGREES WITH JUDGE
Cardinal Gibbons Says that Womans
Testimony is Not
Privileged.

Baltimore. Md. Sept. 2G.--Cardinal
Gibbons said today that Judge MILF,
kin of New Bedford, Mass, did right
in deciding that the testimony OF the
woman was not privileged in the ease
in which she desired TO go on the
stand in the suit of her husband
against priest and show that the
priest in confessional had urged her
to abjure her marriage because it hal
been civil ceremony and not under
church rites
IF she wanted to relate conversa.
ton in the confessional, it is eyi-
dence," said the cardinal, but the
priest is privileged from beng forced
to go on the stand and tell what has
been said to him in the confessional
This latter was established in New
York something like 100 years ago,
in the Coleman case, where it was
laid down that priest does not have
to tell the conversation of the con
fessional."
The judge in the Massachusetts
court declared there was no law in
the commonwealth which male any
conversation privileged save that he
sween husband and wife, and that
between client end counsel.
