SANTA FE SPECIAL OFFICERS
FIGHT FATAL DUEL

San Bernardino, CAL, May 1S.-
Bert Mae, a Santa Fe special officer,
and David Allison fought out an old
feud last night in the midst of the
centennial throng. Bullets few among
the crowd and Allison fell dead with
four bullets through his body. No
one else was hurt.
The feud started when Mae, then a
city policeman, served a warrant on
Allison. The latter is said to have de-
clared his intention of killing Mae,
but the two never met until last night.
Mae surrendered to the sheriff.

San Francisco, May 1S.-It seems to
be generally accepted that the Jeffries-

city instead of at the Emeryville race

have the city officials make a special

|"LABORERS OF new MEXICO
TAKE HAND IN STATE MAKING
Hold Mass Meeting and Adopt
Foundation for Labor's
Demands.

Albuquerque, N M.,-The political
labor movement launched by union
men in this city to OlSlahomaize the
new state constitution, is causing
ouch anxiety to old party politicians
who fear that 1.-THE worst is yet to
come" namely a brand new labor
party.
The mass meeting attended by the
workers of Bernadillo county framed
an alternative, stating that candidates
on ,old-party tickets must pledge them
selves to support the platform of labor
or labor would place a complete new
ticket in the field. The minutes of the
proceedings and an invitation to i'm
mediatefy join with the Albuquerque
movement have been sent to all unions
in New Mexico. The twelve following
political planks were unanimously
adopted as a foundation for labors
demands in the making of the new
constitution:
/. Direct primary. 2. The recall g.
An eight-dlour day. "A. Child labor
laws. 5. An arbitration law framed
to empower acommission of three APP
pointed by. the employers, three APP
pointed by the workers and three ap-
pointed by the state to settle labor
disputes. 6. Initiative and referen-
dunn. z. Australian ballot system. s.
Department of Labor. 9. Department
of Mines. 10. A non-partisan judic-
larry. IL. Joint and equal taxation. II.
Employers liability law.
The tenor Of the speeches made gave
notice that the workers of New Mexico
would demand a constitution 'sconser-
vative of the interests of labor and
that the "safe and sane planks
adopted. by the meeting were the least
that wage workers would accept in
the framing of the new states statues.
The permanent officers of the new
political organization elected were W..
L. Cockmon, president; E. A. Rslney,
vice president; James J. Votaw, secre-
tary; Charles LeFeber, treasurer.

Como, Italy, June 1.-THE murder
OF Mary Crittenden Castle Charlton,
nee Scott, formerly of San Francisco,
and late of New York, became an in
ternational problem today when the
police appealed to the authorities in
Rome to institute world wide
search for Porter Charlton. the young
American, ~ years her Junior, who
married her three months ago. He
was living with her under the name
OF Charlton Porter and posing as her
nephew. Their cottage was on lake
Como. While the man is suspected
the police are working also to ascer-
tain whether she was murdered by
some admirer.
The body was found yesterday in
an iron trunk by fishermen whose net
caught It in the bottom of the lake.
Mrs. Castle recently shot Frank
Craig, a prominent attorney in New
York at a hotel but the bullet was
deflected by n fountain. She was
recently divorced from her husband
well known California attorney
who is now at Rome.
While n search is being made far
Charlton, Constantine Ismolatoff, a
Russian who rented the couple the
villa, is being kept in custody. He
denies all knowledge OF the crime
but has given the police a clew Of the
movements of the couple the last days
they were seen together. He said they
quarreled much and alleged the man
beat the woman. She is n cousin OF
President Harrison.

MODERN DEMOSTHENES
DEFENDS POOR NEGRO

New York.-The spectacle of Will
liam Bourke Cochran, silver-tongued
orator, brilliant wit and master of
rcpartee, defending a penniless negro
charged with numbering a fellow ne
gro in "A laundry last March. was an
unusual feature of the week in Gen.
eral Sessions. The appearance in the
case of this modern Demosthenes,
who, it will be recalled, received ST.
600 a speech from the. Gold Demo-
Gratis to stump the country for Pal
mer and Buckner against Bryan in
the latters first campaign. caused a
stir in the criminal courts building
where he is a stranger. Cochran was
assigned to defend the negro by the
court, which of late has been desig-
mating lawyers of the front rank to
defend impecuniOus prisoners in hon.
icide cases instead of assigning DO
litical shNsters to the work as here
tofore. 1t is doubtful if the negro
realized the value to him of the SER
vices of the eloquent pleader assign
, ed to defend him. To have regularly
employed Cochran would have cost
him in the neiGhborhood of S25. 900 If
he could be retained even at that fig
ure. For his trouble the state will
give the lawyer $500, the regular fee
paid to counsel assigned by the courts.

exact amount of the appropriation is

According to the plans, two walks.

wool were offered for sale at Pilot
Rock today, this being the time for
the second and last public sale at this
place, The prices bid range from IA
12 to 16 1-2 cents per pound but at

any OF the bids had been accepted
The growers have until o'clock. this
evening, to decide. however. and the
impression prevails at Pilot Rock that
the bids on several of the 90 clips
will be accepted.
The sale was concluded soon after
noon and the buyers are now on their
way TO Pendleton. the trip both ways
having been made by auto. A few
went out on the train this morning
and will return by the same means
this afternoon.
1t is probable that the J. f. Smith

HERM|STON PARTIES
IN BIG LAND DEAL
FURNAS TRACT Is SOLD:
CONSIDERATION is $4,000
II. II. Lewis and Associates Secure
800 Acres Partly Within and Partly
Outside of Hermiston-WilI Sell 1t
for Suburban Homes.

Another large and important west
end real estate transaction was con-
summated in this city this forenoon
when r. r. Lewis and associates Sc
cured possession of the 320-acre Fur
mas tract, lying half within and half
without the city of Hermiston. The
tract is considered one of the most
desirable in the west end of the coun-
ty, the consideration being $4,000.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. w. Furnas have
lived in Hermiston since 1903 and
are therefore the pioneer residents of
that town. Their nearest neighbors
at that time were four miles distant.
| The following year they each filed
on a desert claim and it is the land
thus acquired which they are now
selling OF the 800 acres, 800 are ir-
rgable, and 100 are within the city
limits The balance adjoins the city
on the north and is sure ultimately to
be within the city. The land lies on
both sides of the railroad track.
There is a small orchard of 400
trees which is just beginning to bear,
while 35 or 40 acres are now seded
TO dlIdlId. Inc OF lIe OON
acres is now under water and ready
to be cleared and cropped.
Mr.. Lewis stated this morning that
one eastern, one Portland and several
Pendleton men are interested with
him in the project and he says they
intend to subdivide the land into acre
age tracts of from one to ten acres,
making them into suburban homes.
Instead of the one house and the one
family at present, there will soon be
60 or 20 houses and as many families
on the tract. if the plans of Lewis and
his associates prevail.
Lewis says it is not the purpose of
the new owners to plot the land for
city lots nor sell any of it to the rail-
road company for depot facilities.
They are more ANXIOUS to sell it to
people for suburban homes and they
think the location ideal for this pur-
pose
Furnas will continue to make his
home in Hermston as he has other
property interests there. He says,
however that he and his wife will
take a vacation during the summer
