special from klamath Falls, Oregon,
states that the ranchers and settlers
In that vicinity in the lava beds
where the Modoc war took place, have
been much alarmed the past few days
by rumblings beneath the earth Sew
eral days ago there was slight earth
quake and since that time there has
been continuous rumbling beneath the
lava beds. In the past these rum
blings were heard and scientists have
made Investigations to determine the
cause. The most generally accepted
theory is that there are huge caverns
under the beds which occasionally
give way, letting down thousands of
tons of earth and causing the rum
blings.

TO COST 100000
Great Convocation
Latter Part Of
Next Month
PLANS Being PERFECTED
Grand Commander Of South
ern Jurisdiction to Be a
Visitor

Unless all indications fail, Santa Fe
in the near future is to be even more
prominent in Masonic affairs than
| it has been in the past. Hon
orable Harper S. Cunningham, a
thirty-third degree Mason and in
spector general for the state of Ok
lahoma and also for the Territory OF
New Mexico which was recently add
ed to his jurisdiction, is in Santa Fe
looking over the situation and also
preparing for the great event that is
to take place here next month, name
ly, the holding of the first ceremonial
session ever convened in the Terri
tory, when class of about fifty can
didates will be initiated in the degrees
Of the order running from the fourth
to the thirty-third. Mr.. Cunningham
is being assisted by the Honorable l..
e. Lounsbery of South McAlester, Ok
lahoma, also thirty-third degree Ma
son. The latter will take charge of
rehearsing the degree teams and
will look after the stage and other
necessary arrangements. The con-
ferring Of the degrees will take place
on April 26, 27 and % in the regular
Masonic lodge rooms which are being
arranged for the purpose. Many
prominent Masons will be present, in
Guiding the Honorable William Busby,
thirty-third degree Mason, and DR..
D. M. HALEY, a thirty-third degree
Mason from Oklahoma At this time,
the Grand Commander Of the South
ern Jurisdiction, the Honorable James
D. Richardson of Washington, d. c.,
will be present. The coming of this
gentleman will be a great event fer
Santa Fe and it is thought that after
a conference with him, the work on
the Scottish Rite Temple will pro-
ceed. If the Temple is built it will
cost 100000, and will be a structure
Of great magnificence. Inspector Gen.
eral Cunningham. since holding his
present Office, has caused to be
erected most magnificent temples at
Guthrie and at South McAlester, Ok
lahoma, and it is now his greatest
ambition to see such temple erected
in the Territory of New Mexico. At
ter the building of the temple, about
$20,0 will be expended for costumes
for comforting of the degrees and
about $4,000 for scenery and electrical
apparatus, one hundred and twenty
| five scenic drops being necessary. 1t
| is certainly to be hoped that the pro-
ject will be realized as planned.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
At LAMY JUNCTION
Old Depota Har-
vey Eating House
Wiped Out
HIGH VINO BIO WING
Making It Impossible to
Fight The Blaze With
Success.

Yesterday afternoon at about two
thirty. the old depot at Lamy Junction
was observed to be on fire, the flames
appearing on the roof of the structure.
In short while the entire building
was one mass of fame A high wind
was blowing, tanning the blaze into
greater activity and making all efforts
of the fire-fghters to save the build
ing, fruitless. In the course of few
hours the depot. the Harvey eating
house, the ice house and the
freight depot were completely
incinerated. Fortunately the wind
was blowing south at the time
Or else in all probability the coal
chutes, the round-house and in fact
the entire town of Lamy would have
disappeared in the flames. Trains
were delayed by the fire and all wires
were down. Up to noon today, tele-
graphic communication between Lamy
and Santa Fe had not been resumed.
The origin of the fire Is a mystery,
but it Is known that the blaze started
on the roof. 1t is probable that the
fire originated from a defective flue
or from a spark from the chimney or
passing train.
Pflueger Loses a Horse.
When the fire was at its height
horse belonging to John Pfueger, a
prominent mercantile man Of IAmy,
became frightened and dashing wildly
around the corral in which 1t was en-
closed. finally leaping over short
post, unfortunately however, failing to
clear the post and ripping its abdo-
men SO badly that it Immediately died.
The horse was the best that Pfueger
owned and is a severe loss.
Provide Temporary Eating Place.
What little was saved of the effects
of the Harvey Eating House was
transferred to one of the Santa Fe
Company's buildings Arrangements
were at once started to conduct
temporary lunch counter SO as not to
inconvenience the travelling public.
Visible at Santa Fe.
The Redeemed sky, caused by the
flames of the fire, was plainly visible
to the residents of Santa Fe up until
after s o'clock. The regular train
came in considerably late bearing the
news of the conflagration.
New Depot Unscathed.
The new depot which Is under
course of construction and which is
of brick and cement, was entirely un-
damaged, The fact that the wind was
in an opposite direction saved the
portion already erected from a severe
| seorching. The dam,.s,~- 70 rne old
depot and other parts that burned is
estimated at about twenty-five thou
sand dollars. |

Laying and Brakeman Pearson are
dead, Fireman Rasmussen Is serious.
ly injured, an engine buried to the
smokestack in sand, and five freight
cars piled up indiscriminately, is the
disastrous record made at 5 o'clock
this morning by Oregon Short Line
freight train No. "a, in charge of Con
ductor Schnocke and Engineer Laying,
running between Granger and Green
River Wyoming. on a lately double
tracked piece of the Union PachSc.
The accident occurred five miles east
of Granger, at Gauntlet Bridge No.
261, where the double-track on the
Utah division of the Union Pacific is
also used by the Oregon Short Line
trains. This morning, freight train
No. "A came down from Pocatello on
the short line road, stopped for orders
at Granger and then proceeded east
wards towards Green River over the
Union Pacific tracks. Engineer Laying
evidently overlooked the order to stop
before crossing bridge No. 2G1 and, as
result of this error the train ran up
to the "derailer" and sped on until it
struck the loamy soil at the east end
of the bridge.
Engineer Laying and Brakeman
Pearson were burned in the wreck
They were dug out of the wreck as
quickly as possible, but were dead.

Tacoma, Wash, March 24.-Rear
admiral Evans is here today. In an
Interview he said "We need twenty
battleships on the Pacific Coast. With
such a force this coast would be safe
from any attack. I do not believe in
dividing the Atlantic fleet in order to
send ships to the Pacific Coast. We
should concentrate our forces. The
danger of non-concentration was fully
demonstrated by Russias failure in
the combat with Japan"

BALL MAN ON CARPET.
Baseball Rule-Association Di-
rectors Meet.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 25.-[Special]
Directors of the American Association
of Professional Baseball Clubs held a
meeting at the Auditorium Annex today
at which problems of vital Importance
to the organization were discussed.
Those present as directors were G. S.
Havenor of Milwaukee, w. Fl. Watkins
of Indianapolis, George Lennon of ST..
Paul, George Tebeau of Kansas City and
e. NJ. Schoenborn of Columbus. Other
club officials in attendance were NJ. D..
Cantillon of Minneapolis and w. r.
Armour of Toledo.
Although President J. D. O'Brien of
the association declared that the meet
ing was called to attend to routine at
fairs, it was rumored that several Ques-
tons of gravest Importance to the Amer
lean association and to baseball in gen
eral were under discussion.
1t is said that Vice President L. NJ.
Chivington of the Louisville club may
be "called down" for alleged violation OF
an agreement by which magnates of the
Glass A organization had pledged to pay
no more for major league ball player
than the majors pay for Glass A man
by draft-$1OOO.
Chivington. according to reports,
agreed TO pay $500 for Andy Coakley,
until recently a member OF the pitching
staff of the worlds champion Cubs.
President O'Brien said he did not know
how that story leaked out, but did not
deny that such an agreement existed.
He said it was a personal affair with
the magnates and his league and one
which he could not discuss. He de-
clared that the meeting was of no inter
est to any baseball sections other than
those in his league, despite the report
that the American association felt bitter
orJ tho national commission for not
having granted several concessions that
were demanded by that body in conjunc-
ton with the eastern league several
months ago.

WRIGHTS WILL FIGHT
Will Battle with Rivals Over Patents
Claim Rights for Aeroplane
Sales,

NEW YORK, May 25.-There is trOu-
BILE coming for all aeroplane builders in
this country who shall attempt to put
their machines on the market. The
Wright brothers claim the basic patents
on all machines of the bi-plane pattern
having the 'aero curves in the main
sustaining planes, and practically all of
the flying machines in America which
have thus far flown or have given prom
Use of flying are of this general design.
1t is likely that the first skirmish will
occur between the Wrights and the re-
Gently formed Herring Curtis Aeroplane
company of Hammondsport, n. Y.
Mr.. Curtis recently received an order
from the Aeronautic society of this city
to build an aeroplane for its members,
and upon the arrival of the Wrights
from Europe soon afterward they mott
fed their lawyer to institute proceedings
in an infringement suit as soon as the
sale became an assured fact.
This will be the first aeroplane built
for sale in America outside of orders
received by the Wrights, and therefore
it will be the first opportunity the
Wrights have had to test the validity
of their claims. Hundreds of aeroplanes
have been built, the greater number of
them on lines similar to the Wright ma
chine, but the Wrights made no move in
the direction of establishing their patent
rights until the sale was announced.
The announcement that the Wrights
were planning to enforce their claims
was no surprise to Mr.. Curtis. He said
the litigation would be a friendly test
suit and the sooner the question of the
patents is settled the better it would be
for all concerned.
A. M. Herring has for a long time in
sisted that he and not the Wrights was
the rightful owner of the basic patents
on the aeroplane, asserting that he dis
covered the secret of the curved plane
and other features, and obtained patents
long before the Wright brothers ever
built a glider.

CAUGHT IN AUTO ATTIRE.
New York Couple Trapped by Automo-

Both Escape

NEW YORK, May 25.-A great
throng on Broadway Monday night wit
messed thrilling spectacle when the
handsome limousine automobile of John
H. Hanan was suddenly enveloped in a
cloud of flame following a collision with
another car.
Mr.. and Mrs Hanan, on their way to
the Lambs Gambol at the Metropolitan
Opera house, were trapped in the burn
ing car by automatic clutches Oh the
doors operated from the drivers seat
The gasoline tank had been ripped open
by the collision and an explosion scat
tered the burning fluid over the street.
Mrs Hanan screamed when her hus-
band made an Intellectual attempt to
open the door, and the chauffeur was
brought to a point of quick action and
released the cluth so the doors could
be opened. Just then Policeman Flood
IF the traffic squad, giant in stature,
forced his way through the crowd,
pushed Mr.. Hanan aside and, reaching
n the flaming car, calmly swung Mrs.
Hanan high above his head so that the
ire could not touch the trailing laces of
her gown, walked across the street and
deposited her unframed, but badly
frightened, upon the opposite curb.
