President Taft Curtly
Told Him to Stay
in Territory
RESULT CAME AS BOMBSHELLa
No Intifnation as to
Identity Of His
Successor,
Special to The Optic.

Special to The Optic
i Santa Fe, Mch pa life-sized SEN
sation was sprung throughout New
Mexico today when the news was
flashed over the telegraph and tele-
phone wires that Governor George
Curry, it's Rough Rider executive,
had resigned.
| Governor Currys resignation was
like the explosion of bombshell, as
even his closest friends did not even
dream of such a thing. 1t was
brought about by refusal Of a re-
quest by wire made yesterday by the
governor to Secretary Of the Interior
Ballinger and President Taft for a
lleave Of absence to go to Washington,
(which was promptly, If not curtly,
turned down. the governor being told
ito observe the order of Saturday, that
hereafter the governors ana other ter
ritorial officials must in the future
stay at home and not be running to
Washington at frequent intervals.
Governor Curry took this executive
order as direct slap at him and to-
days refusal of the president to
grant him leave Of absence enraged
him to such an extent that he quit
forthwith, not even consulting his
closest friends, the newspaper scorre-
spondents here being the first to learn
of his resignation.
Several kilograms passed between
President Taft and Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger and the governor
before his resignation was sent in, It
takes effect as soon as his successor
can be named and qualified.
Who the new governor will be can't
| be stated at this time. 1t is safe to
say, however, that if it is New Mex

THE BoY ADRoNAUT.

New York, July Frank w.
Goodale. "the boy aeronaut," scored
another triumph over the grown up
sky pilots yesterday by taking an
early morning spin over Manhattan
and back again to his balloon tent,
at Palisades Park, before most per-
sons had finished breakfast
"Of course I'm only KID" said
Goodale, as he received the congra-
tulations of a group of friends after
landing, but the difference between
me and the big aeronauts is that
they tell the people what they're go
ing to do and then don't do it, and
just hop onto my gas pony and do

the most notable performance of a
dirigible balloon over New York city
since Roy Knabenehue, his former
teacher, flew over the island in Au-
gust, 1905.

WALKED IN HIS SLEEP.

New York, July Frederick
Doyle, twelve years old, of No. S16
McDougal street. member of boys
brigade connected with St. Clements
church, at Pennsylvania and Liberty
avenues, Brooklyn, dreamed early
yesterday that he was marching to
war with musket over his shout
der. He rose from his ped, marched
past the room in which his parents
were sleeping and into the kitchen.
Here he climbed upon chair and
marched straight out of the window.
Mrs George Simms, tenant in
the same house, was awakened by
groans and traced the noise to a
rear court yard. There she found
young Doyle insensible. Dr. Her
bert, of the Bushwick hospital, found
the boy suffering from fractured
skull, sprained ankle and many
Commissions. He was removed to that
Institution and will recover.

WANTS TO BE A SLAVE,

St. Louis, July Maurice F.
Sullivan, young man of intelli-
gence, good manners and spirit,
wants to give himself away. Today
found Sullivan with four cents be-
tween him and the sort of poverty
which must demand charity. He had
foreseen this when he caused this
want adj to appear in a local
paper:
Young man, educated, refined,
travelled extensively, unable to find
position, will give himself away for
three months ] mean every word of
it. Anybody VINO will take care of
me three months, until | tide over
this hard place, can have me, and
I'll show them | can work ="
Sullivan's father, Maurice F. Sui
Ivan, railroad contractor, who for
merly lived in Mount Vernon, N. Y,
is dead, Sullivan, who is twenty
years old. says ms father failed
while the son was in his third year
at the Sacred Heart Academy at
Westchester, N. r., preparing for
Amherst.

RICH LAwBREAKERs.

Governor Herbert Hadley Of Mis-
souri, In speech before the Chau-
tauqua at Topeka, Kansas, the other
day said:
"Seyenty-fiye per cent of the cor
porations doing the business of this
country are either organized or are
doing an illegal business"
This means that the captains of
industry are criminals and law
breakers. But they are not arrested,
they are not jailed. They are per-
fectly immune. They are the ruling
class. They have right to trample
upon the law with impunity for they
are the Lords OF Privilege and can
do as they please.
A poor devil in Ohio who was hum
CRY stole fifty cents worth of corned
beef not long ago and was sentenced
to the penitentiary for ninety-nine
years.
This is justice as 1t is melted out
by capitalist courts under the capt.
taiist system, The rich malefactors
have free hand. AS Governor Had
ley says, they violate the law with
impunity but they go unwhipped Of
justice,

MIssouRrs FREAK HEN.


The Missouri hens in this section
of the state have been performing
some unusual and queer feats. H.
Reidel has discovered fully deyel-
oped egg inside Of another egg. It
is quite an unusual thing for a hen
to lay two eggs at the same time
an egg within an egg-but Ed Coil,
residing near Big Springs, this coun-
ty, has overshadowed the Reidel
curiosity by finding hen egg that
measures Z liz inches in circumfer-
ence and is 5 inches long--larger
than an ordinary goose egg. Inside
the outer shell of this monstrous
egg were two soft-shell eggs and one
the size of an ordinary egg, with a
perfectly formed shell. Montgom-

JULY THOUGHTS.

Sultry days in Grocerydoml
Skeeter trumpets sound,
Picnic dainties sell to some,
Root beer signs abound;
Green stun withers in the sun,
Berries ripper grow,
Syrups sizzle in the casks,
Vital force is low.
Lazy days in Grocerydom!
Coney's waves invite,
Billows roar at Rockaway,
Cool and capped with white;
Sailing on the Sound is fine,
When the breeze is fair;
Blow, We winds witt salty tang,
Sweep away our carel
clammy days in Grocerydom!
Underclothing sticks,
Darn the chap who closes store
Later, say, than six;
Gee, but time moves slowly now
Customers are few,
Nothing but to wait and sweat,
Nothing else to do.

THE MARKET REPORT.

Those interested in cotton are now
anxiously watching the weather and
the market depends, for the next few
weeks, on climatic conditions in Tex
as and the cotton regions generally.
The late hot, dry weather has stop
ped the inroads of the boil weevil in
Louisiana to certain extent and the
outlook there is brighter. Texas cot
ton crop is somewhat in need of
moisture, but is in fair condition.
The market has shown an upward
trend for the past three weeks, in
fact since the Government report was
issued for June, showing unfayorable
conditions in all the cotton region
with the exception of Texas. July
cotton is now worth 1915 to 10, with
strong possibility that prices will
stay in that vicinity. There is no
doubt but that a high market price
will be paid for this seasons crop.
Wheat.
Jim Patten has again jumped into
the wheat situation and operators are
expecting another bull campaign
which will send prices soaring. The
present price Of $1.34 per bushel is
new high record for July and has
had the effect of starting -four up
the price ladder again.

PARK POST IS TO
BE BUILT OF LOGS
War Department Adopts Plan
Satisfactory TO the
Preside
Improvement Will Make Moun-
tain Life Comfortable
for Soldiers

Sequoia park is to have the most pic
turesque post of any in the United
states. 1t is to be built of logs taken
from the big grove there. Orders to
this effect were received at the Pre-
sidio from the secretary of the interior
yesterday.
For a long time different officers of
this department have been trying TO
prevail upon the war department to
build a set of quarters at Sequoia which
would be in keeping with the surround
ings The war department suggested
that a lot of frame shacks be put up
similar 10 those in Tennessee hollow at
the Presidio. This raised tremendous
protest at the Presidio, and after long
parley the government has decided to
put up permanent quarters built of
logs.
The post is to be built at what is
known as Marble Fork. on the Kaweah
river. 1t is at an altitude of $500 feet
and commands superb view of the
surrounding country. The post will
consist of four sets OF officers quar-
ters. one set of barracks, an admins
tration building, a building for the
commissary and quGrtermaster's de-
partment, post exchange and stables
for the cavalry horses.
These buildings viii all be one story
in height and while all are to be built
of logs with the exterior in the most
primeval sort the interiors will have
every convenience for the troopers. Up
to the present time the troopers who
are stationed there in the spring and
summer months have lived in tents and
have suffered considerably from the
heavy SHOWS that they encountered at
the beginning and end of the season.
Lieutenant Thurman Ii. Bane. quar-
termaster of the Fourteenth cavalry.
will proceed to Sequoia in a few days
TO look over the scene and map out
positions where the different buildings
are to be put up.
Captain Cornelius C. Smith. U. S. A..
the superintendent of the park. will
leave for his post at Sequoia May l
with Company g. Fourteenth cavalry.
Captain Smith and his troopers will
march from the Presidio to the camp.
The Sequoia park covers 10000 acres.

Hard for Poor Man to Get Home

Justice Hart


SACRAMENTO, Feb. 20.-That poor
man has little salvation in securing a
home free from debt at the hands of
building and loan associations is the
opinion of the appellate court in a de-
cision handed down today granting a
new trial to the Continental building
and loan association of San Francisco.

it in the Fresno county superior court
by Simon w. Henry. to recover title
to his home, which he had mortgaged
for $1.1OO. After making declaration
that there was not evidence in the case
to justify a decision of fraud. Judge
Hart states:
'On the face of the transaction con-
eerned in this litigation, it may ap-

poor judgment in adopting a building
and loan association as the instru-
mentality through which to secure for
himself a bomep
