PRECIPITATES ROW
Attempt to Make Bar Room
Out of Waiting
Room
HOTEL PORTER LAID COLD
Agent Lutz and His Assistant
Take Part in Short But
Lively Battle.

Last evening at about siX-thirty the
passengers at the Santa Fe depot
were treated to a rather unusual but
thoroughly spirited sight. The spec
tacle was nothing more nor less than
fistic encounter between Felix San
doval the day porter at the Palace
hotel, and Agent H. S. LutZ and his
assistant George Dixon Cf the Santa
Fe. The row had its incipiency in an
incident that took place in the wait
ing room of the station. Luis Archu-
leta, a citizen of Albuquerque, who
intended leaving fer the Duke City on
the evening train, was in possession
of a good sized bottle of fire water,
large portion of which he had pre-
viously consumed Being in a happy
frame of mind he proceeded to treat
his friends and various parties around
the depot were invited in to have a
taste. The bottle was passing around
freely and considerable noise was be
ing made, when Agent Lutz appeared
on the scene and grabbed the botue
from the hands of ArChuleta and
threw ii out into the street. He then
ordered Archuleta to leave the wait
ing room and 90 on the outside. This
Archuleta did but Sandoval, the por-
ter of the Palace hotel. who had come
to the depot to look after passengers,
who intended coming TO the Palace
hotel, took it upon himself to resent
the manner in which Archuleta was
being treated. Accompanying Archu
leta he led him TO the ladies waiting
room but finding the door locked
commenced trying to kick it in.
At this Lutz again appeared but San
doval turned upon him and cursed
him roundly and used other vile and
obnoxious language. Becoming en-
ragged Lutz set sail and pitched into
him and soon had him on the ground
using him as pounding board. Lutz
was pulled away but Sandoval insist
ed upon fighting George Dixon, an
employe at the depot appeared at this
time, and without losing a moment he
planted mighty left swing on the
point of Sandoval's chin. The wallop
did its duty for the hotel porter drop
ped like a log and was still in the
land of dreams when SCme of his
frienls carried him away. Archuleta
who had become beastly drunk, had
gone back to the waiting room during
the fight and later was found on the
floor sound asleep. But before retir-
ing he had succeeded in giving the
waiting room the appearance of a
pig pen. The city police were called
and the man was taken to the Jail.
Sandoval was not arrested but as a
result of his spiAication he lost his
job as porter at the Palace hotel

ILLINOIS DISGRACED BY
BRUTAL DOUBLE LYNCHING
Scenes of Savagery Enacted Last Night the Streets of
Cairo--Negro and White Man Guilty of Fiendish
Crimes the Victns---Miitia Hurried to Sec
ton Known Egypt.

Cairo. H., Nov. 12.-After a night
made hideous by the lynching Of Will
James, the negro charged with the
murder of Miss Annie Pelley, and
Henry Selzner white man, charged
with the murder of his wife Cairo is
comparatively quiet this morning.
Company X. of the state militia OF
Cairo, is in charge of the city, and
although a mob of 1900 people is still
congregated along the levee, and
the saloons are open, no further seri-
Gus trouble is anticipated, Al least
five more companies of militia arrived
here during the morning, and Cover
nor Deneen who is hurrying to Spring
field from Chicago, said over the long
distance telephone that more will be
ordered to Cairo if needed. Arthur
Alexander, the negro implicated in the
assault and murder of Miss Pelley by
the confession of the lynched negro
James, was safely lodged in jail this
morning after a night spent with the
officers. dressed in officers clothes
fleeing froMf the furious mob. The
mob soon learned that Alexander is
in jail and could easily have taken
him out and lynched him, but the
blood lust seemed to disappear with
the coming of dawn, and no attempt
was made to get him. What the au.
thorities most fear is that the pre-
judices aroused by last nights lynch
| ings may result in a repetition of race
riots and the destruction of proper
| ty that characterized the work of the
mobs at Springfield, Illinois, and fol
| this reason the troops are being rush
ed to Cairo to be kept there till al
| danger of trouble is past.
Mayor Parsons said today that he
did not think any officials will be
blamed for the lynchings. He said the
majority of citizens OF Cairo deploret
the lynchings, but believed the result
to be salutory
There has not been an official e2
ecutiCn in Cairo in ten to fifteel
years." he said "and yet the city ha
| had it's share of murders. ,Juries hav
failed to convict in homicide cases O
have convicted only for minrr de
grees. In fact murder in Cairo has
l regret to say, been tolerably safe.
Negro Confessed
James, the negro lynched, was car
turned at Belknap last night by
mob which compelled the engineer 0
a locomotive to take it's members II

SAVING LIVES
Of CHILDREN
Conference for Prevention of
Infant Mortality at
New Haven.
WORK OF THE INSTITUTIONS
Homes for Mothers and Babies
in Large Cities Are
Advocated.

New Haven, Nov. 12.-'Let us es-
tablish homes for mothers and their
children, where both can receive
proper care" This was the plea made
by various speakers at today's session
of the conference for prevention of
infant mortality. The session was de-
voted to discussion of institutional
prevention of death among babies
Homes for Mothers and Babies.
New Haven, Conn, Nov 12.-The
institutional care of babies who are
in normal health, and the unnecessary
separation Of mother and child were
strongly condemned at the Conference
On Prevention of Infant Mortality
this morning by Homer Folks, of New
York, the secretary of the New York
Charities Aid Association, and the
chairman of the session on institu-
ticnal prevention
The placing-out system for mothers
and children together and the hospi-
tai care for babies too i'll to receive
proper attention at home were advo-
Gated instead. 1t is essential, howev-
er, he declared, that the babies hos
pital be associated with an agency
for returning the babies to family care
after short period of hospital life,
as for some reason not yet wholly
clear few babies withstand lcng-con-
tinued residence, even in a hospital
of the highest excellence.
In his Introductory address Mr..
Folks referred to the afct that insti-
tutions for children have been of two
classes-those established primarily to
give the baby home, and these es.
tablished for the hospital care of sick
babies. THE first class of institu
tions, while receiving motherless in
fants and babies whose mothers are
physically unable to care for them.
he said, have always received the
| largest proportion of their inmates
from the illegitimate classes and one
of the primary considerations has
been the supposed protection of the
| unfortunate mother and of her rela
| tives. 1t is a matter of common
| knowledge that among this class o
institutions the mortality has alway!
tended to be very high. One of thu
most striking instances is that of th,
ST. Petersburg Founding Hospital
founded in 1910 During the frs
eighteen years of its existence it re
| ceived 2S,436 babies. During tn
same period of years 24,272 of thes
babies, or about S5 per cent perishe,
| in the institution.

and more humane management 0
