MANY ATTEMPTS
HAVE BEEN MADE
Conductor Was Shot Down Be-
cause He Ordered d NeWSboy
TO Stop Annoying
Women on
His Train.

Santa Fc, y Nj, Feb. 6.-Pressure
of almost a national character was
brought to bear on Governor Curry
yesterday when an application for the
pardon of Elmer l.. Price, a convict
in the New Mexico penitentiary, was
placed before him. The application
includes letters from at least a dozen
Congressman and several United
States senators.
The prisoners representative in the
case was Judge c. j. Pratt, of Ken
lucky, who presented credentials from
the governor of Kentucky, and who
served as judge of the circuit court
of Kentucky and at attorney general
of that state. Judge Pratt placed be-
fore Governor Curry a written COM
munication signed by the entire su-
preme court Of Kentucky asking for
the pardon of Price. He also present
ed petitions signed by a large num-
ber of citizens of Roosevelt, Chaves
and Eddy counties, being the section
of the territory where Price lived at
the time he murdered Conductor
Frank Curtis, employed by the Pecos
Valley and Northeastern railroad.
Al the time Price killed Conductor
GURUS ne was IL neWSNtiuOT OH a re
cos Valley and Northeastern Railroad
passenger train running between Dali
hart, Texas, and Carlsbad, this terri
tory. Z he crime was committed In
August, 1907, Curtis being shot down
in cold !nJd because he took Price
to task and forbade him making him
self unduly familiar with women pas
sengers. Testimony of eyewitnesses
showed that Price shot Curtis twice
in the abdomen and while the con-
ductor was flying from the bullets he
shot him a third time in the back.
The wounded man died almost in
stantly.
Curtis was a man of high standing
and a member of the Order of Rail-
way Conductors, which organization
assisted in the prosecution of his slay-
er and who also opposed his pardon.
That Price has influential friends is
very cOnclusively shown by the army
of distinguished men who attempted
to secure his release from prison. At
the conclusion of the hearing late
last evening. Governor Curry made
the unqualified statement that no
pardon would be granted the prison
er. Permission was given Judge
Pratt to withdraw from the executive
Office the petition of the supreme
court of Kentucky. This last attempt
to have Price pardoned is only one
of many that have been made since
he was committed to. the penitentiary.

OFFICER KENNEDY
IS BRINGING RICHMOND
tie Captured Man Accused of Theft
and Who Was Held by Illinois
Officers.

Howard Richmond. the young man
who is alleged to have embezzled
about $50 from O. B. Daken, who
conducts a pool hall on Silver avenue,
and who escaped to Illinois, is being
brought back to Albuquerque to stand
trial for his alleged crime. Officer
Kennedy, Of the Santa Fe secret SER
vice, will arrive here with him to-
night.
The crime with which Richmond
is charged was committed about a
year ago, while he was in the en-
ploye of Dakan. He made good his
escape from the city but was appre-
hended a few months later at his
home in Illinois and placed under ar
rest by Officer Kennedy, but the IL
linois authorities refused to let the
New Mexico officer take his prisoner
out of the state. Kennedy returned
empty handed on that occasion. The
subsequent arrest of Richmond is a
surprise A private dispatch says that
Kennedy arrested Richmond at Van
dalia, and that he has confessed.

Opium eating prevailed in India as
far back as the seventeenth century.
Not in India only was the opium
trade fostered, but smugglers were
aided by British traders and officials
introducing it into China, where 1t

The evil had grown 50 great that
in 1S40 the emperor issued an edict

advices as To the success Of the state
hood bill at this session of Congress,
the territorial legislature is expected
20 haul in its sails for the next week

In short, choose something for ii
refinement rather than for lavish deo
oration-something preferably plain
than showing q cheap flashiness. Ana
so 1t has been since Ewes daughters
first took to petticoats: In all opinion
worth considering, 1t Is the under
linen, rather than the gown, which
gives that ineffable essence known ~
ladyhood.
In the petticoat department the In
fluence OF the princess gown and al
stink skirts Is decidedly felt, for here
charming garments long and short
take to great extent the princess
form, and the skirt of old fulness ID
conspicuous by its absence. Every.
thing Ats closely and falls softly. and
these facts in themselves should warn
the buyer against the things bur
dened with fluttering laces and cheap
masses of ribbon
Our illustration displays one Of the
fashionable fitted chemises, yet with
the skirt merely heightened the de
sign becomes the slip petticoat nee
essary for thin princess gowns. For
this dainty garment a very fine lawn
with valenciennes insertions, and Q
lawn frill narrowly edged with this
suggests a combination for the aver
age purse; but II coarse colored
lawn, cheap lace and machine worn
are used, the piece, now SO pretty,
would be the essence of vulgaritv
delicately figured batiste, trimmed
with Italian valenciennes, would ef
feet look of imported elegance, en-
pecially II the garment were made By
hand, as 1t should be to wash proper
ly, II for no other reason.
The model calls for 3% yards 81
inches wide, 3as yards of trimmings
for the skirt fiounce. and az yards Of
edging for the neck and armholes.

. Fight for HE Life.

Aberdeen.-Judge Frank McNulty
las decided upon August oath as
he date for beginning the jury
rial Of the Victor case. In the pre-
urinary skirmish for position, the
public sentiment gives States Attor-
aey Van Slyke credit for winning out.
The defendants attorneys bent every
effort to induce the states attorney
20 consent to . life sentence in con-
sideration Of Victor pleading guilty.
When the offer was refused, with the
statement that nothing but a death
sentence would be satisfactory to the
state, in view of the Nervousness Of
the crime, it was decided to have Vic.
tor plead not guilty and trust him to
the mercies Of jury.
Victor was undisturbed when he ap.
peared In court. The throng which
crowded the courtroom apparently
caused him no anxiety. His father,
mother and brother. who were in the
courtroom. appeared equally uncon-
,erned.

Guests Room.

If unable to deliberately furnish q
guests room, then make 1t attractive
with inexpensive articles. To-day one
can buy beautiful rag rugs which have
groundwork of white. Use them on
the floor and paint the woodwork
white. Have white-striped curtains
hung from white rods and dress the
bed In white. The inexpensive imita-
ton birds-eye maple. being light,
would be pretty in q room Of this
description. Make the cushions of
denim and hang few pretty pictures
on the walls. Dark prints with gray
Backgrounds and wooden frames would
be neat. Provide dresser than has q
large glass, or q table with Z very
large mirror hung over 1t. II you like
draDery, you can put . couch bed In
the room and drape It with lavender
cotton crepe. The drapery can also
be used for making . portiere. DO not
crowd the room. Remember Christmas
cards. shells. souvenirs and all such
trash no longer md : place In any

COAT SETS IN STRIPED LINEN.
Decorated In Manner Described, They
Are One of the Best Looking
Of Garments.

Among the best looking coat sets
are the new ones Of striped linen, fin.
ished with button-holed edge and
worked with pin or coin dots in the
heart OF each scallop.
Select a fine pin-striped linen with
a white ground and the color stripe to
match the suit with which 1t is to be
worn. The collars can be cut in any
desired shape, but the plain rounding
lines, widest at the back and narrow.
ing to a point in front, are best for
striped materials.
Cut the collar with q seam at the
middle of the back, as this gives the
stripes better bias.
The scallop and dot may either be
worked in white or In the color Of
stripe. Pad both scallop and dot with
chain stitch, using soft darning cot
ton. Button-hole the former and do
the dots in satin stitch.
On the band Of collar and the cuffs,
which should round sharply at each
corner, work buttonholes to fasten to
buttons on sleeve and inside neck of
coat. On the proper adjustment of
these buttons depends the fit OF the
coat set, and too much trouble can
not be taken to get them at Just the
RICH spots.
Plain coat sets such as these are
better style than those of intricate
embroidery and fancy shapes.
