Accident i'm Which His Daughter
Was Also Hurt.

New York, March 23.-Colonel Al
tert =. Hunter, the Albuquerque, ~.
NJ, millionaire, who was hurt in an
automobile accident in Brooklyn took
turn for the worse today i'm his
apartments at the Empire hotel. Par
alyzed by the shock to his spine,

pneumonia 10 which he could re-
spOnd. DR.. Mcdonald Pegs, his
physician, said after consultation
with specialists today that his patient
cannot be expected TO live until to-
morrow. Mrs Hunter is in Spokane,

PLENTY OF CANDIDATES.

Washington, ID. c., March 2S.-The
announcement of the resignation of
Governor Curry was received here
with surprise as the possibility of
such action had not been considered
here by cacn tho 90 erRor's closest
friends. 1t was disconcerting to the
adherents to the statehood cause, who
appreciate the effective work the gov
ernor is able to do in his capacity
as chief executive of the territory.
The announcement today that he had
reconsidered his action and had with
drawn his resignation was received
with satisfaction, though ii put a
damper on the aspirations of those
who would be governor of New Mex
leo.
1t is rumored that there were many
candidates for the position just as
soon as it became known that Curry
had resigned Just who the aspir-
ants are was not made known, but
il is said that there were at least half
a dozen applications. 1t was thought,
| however, that President Taft would
give preference to a New Mexico man.
and the announcement today that
! Curry had withdrawn his resignation
eft, ctually killed the chances of the
easterners who aspire to become gov
ernor of New Mexico.

WITH HEART EXPOSED

Bakersfield, Marcn 23.-With one
lung removed by surgical operation
and the wound from which the organ
was extracted unhealed. John i.
Clark, a printer of Washington, ID. c.,
lived for IA months. He died in the
county hospital here yesterday.
Clark came here fourteen months
ago and an operation for empyrema
was performed, by which oTrt OF his
lungs was removed. For some reason
the surgeons were unable to close the
wound Nevertheless the man rallied
and. after a short time, was able 10
perform small chores and attend
church on sundays.
During all this time his heart and
vital organs were plainly exposed TO
view through the orifice in his side.
He gradually grew weaker and finally
succumbed. His case has been a mar
vel to the physicians of this section.

BAD MAN ESCAPED.

Trinidad. colo. March 23.-Jesse
Gray. alias Davis, a bad man of
New Mexico who was wanted at
Dawson for shooting up the town and
a Colorado & southern passenger
train, escaped from the sheriff of that
place while being returned from Pu-
eblo, where he was captured Fri
day. He leaped through the window
OF a moving passenger train and no
trace OF him has been found.
The train was pulling into the Daw-
son yards when the prisoner jerked
away from his custodian and dived
head first. through the window. Ow-
ing to confusion made by passengers
who were preparing to get off at Daw-
son the train had pulled into the sta
tion before the sheriff could alight.
BY that time Gray had made good
his escape.
Last week Gray, after shooting up
the town of Dawson, shot out the
light in a passenger train He fed
and was followed to Trinidad. Here
Tudersherin Kreeger got trace of
him and went out into the country
to arrest him The officer came across
man travelling in a rig which had
suffered breakdown; This was Gray
but not recognizing him. Krccger
agreed to take the mans buggy to
ha nearby blacksmith shop. Gray
mounted the horse and rode in an
other direction. He was miles away
before Kreegcr discovered the decep-
tiou.
He learned, however. that Gray had
boarded train for Pueblo, and he
was arrested there as he left the
train.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 2S.-More
than seventy hours have passed since
the huge balloon America, with six
men, sailed into the fog of the Sierra
Madre mountains, and nothing has
been heard of the aeronauts. The

zaru raging in the mountains and
have perished. Nothing has been
heard of two searching parties which
went out to look for the balloon.
Pasadena. CAL, March 23.--The en-
tire city is wrought up over the loss
of six men who sailed in the balloon

into the mountains to be used for
observation. Seventy-iive volunteers
have joined the searching parties.

Santa Fe. n. NJ, March 23.-Gov-
ernor Curry, who yesterday wired his
resignation to President Taft, today
withdrew it at the urgent request of
the chief executive. who in a lengthy
telegram to the New Mexico execu-
tive, assured him that he has the
hearty support of the national ad-
ministratlon in all of his Official acts.
President Taft stated further that
he is in no way responsible for the
reports sent out from Washington to
the effect that Curry, with other
Rough Riders, would have to walk
the plank" He requested Governor
Curry To reconsider his action of yes
terday, which he termed hasty and
uncalled for, and urged that he con-
tinue to serve as the territorial eX-
ocutive.
The president, however, did not
grant Governor Curry's request to be
Permitted to visit Washington to dis
cuss territorial business, which re-
quest was refused Sunday by Secre-
tary of the Interior Ballinger and was
responsible for Curry's resignation
lie advised as did Secretary Bal

a letter his reasons for wishing 10
visit the national capital, and pur-
suant to this request, Governor Curry
will write at length to the president.
He expects that leave of absence will
be granted and that he will go to
Washington within two weeks.
kilograms and letters pouring in
here today indicate that the people
of New Mexico want Curry TO remain
as governor of New Mexico. The an
houncement yesterday that he had re-
signed created sensation and many
telegraph and telephone messages
came to the governor from all parts
OF the territory, protesting at his ac'
ton.
The people demanded that he re-
consider and that he remain in Office.
These demands, followed by the re-
quest of President Taft that the gov
ernor remain in office had their ef-
feet today, and early this morning the
governor wired to Taft that he would
withdraw his resignation and would
continue in Office.
When this became known the mes
sages of congratulation began to come
IN and the governors office was
crowded all day with people who
called to pay their respects, to con-
graduate him for the firm and de-
tcrmincd stand he took yesterday, and
