to Santa Fe next month when he
comes to take seat as a delegate to
the constitutional convention. Mr..
Armijo has rented the house of Mr..
and Mrs. J. c. Digneo and he and
Mrs Armijo will spend some time
there.
| Mr.. Armijo is a warm friend OF

Speaker Cannon Calls on Party
to Keep the Faith Irrespec-

Springfield, ILL.,, Sept 23.-Govern.
opened the Republican state conven-
ton today with an address in which
he reviewed the work of the national
administration the last eighteen
months to show it has been fruitful in
the redemption of platform pledges.
He said that the party and the Presi-
dent are entitled to a vote of conf
dence
Discussing the recent airing of al
legged corruption in the legislature,
the governor said "The confessions of
four members of the legislature and
the statement of four others indicate
the existence of an extensive system
of corruption, which the Republican
party of Illinois must not merely de-
nounce but must correct by acting as
a whole, in harmony with the views
of our party as expressed in conven-
tion.''
Platform Endorses Taft.
Springfield, Sept. 23.-The conven-
ton adopted a platform approving the
administration of President Taft and
Governor Deneen. The tariff platform
follow the line laid down in the
Presidents campaign letter to Chair
man McKenny of the Republican con.
gressional committee. Speaker Can
non in vigorous speech declared the
time has come to keep the Republi

Denver, Colo, Sept. 23.-The police
are eager to apprehend the lone rob-
ber, whose favorite mode of action is
as mystifying as it is unusual. For
three nights this man has been con-
Quoting his operations, drugging his
intended victims, then robbing them
of their valuables and stripping them
of their clothing.
Yesterday William Sanford, trav-
cling salesman of Kansas City, was
found wandering about the City mar
ket in a dazed condition. He had
been drugged and his coat, hat, vest,
diamond stud, watch and money were
missing.
Manuel Sanchez was found in a
similar condition in the milling dis
trict near Twentieth and Huron
streets. He was minus all but his
overcoat and pair of socks. He is
in the hospital ward of the city jail.
The robber was even more severe

are that Republican factionalism
alone will not give us victory beyond

WAR DECLARED ON SCAN
DIAL MoNGERS BY MAYOR,
Municipal Executive of German Town
is Tired of Gossip and Wants to
Put an End to It,

Berlin, Sept. 23.-The burgomaster
of the thriving town of Hattersheim
has declared war on scandalmonger-
ing WON n. He has issued a munich
pal proclamation calling attention to
the frequency of prosecutions for libel
and SANDER, resulting in bitter enmit-
les and costly litigation. The cause,
says the burgomaster, is usually the
same.
While the men are hard at work,
the women fritter away their time gos-
siping and quarreling, their children
neglected and their households suf-
fering from lack of care. When the
breadwinner comes home at night he
hears the days events untruthfully re-
lated. Then as protector of his angry
wife he must go to the police, law
yer or an arbitration court.
The proclamation concludes by stat
ing that henceforth poor relief will
only be given in exceptional cases to
people who have participated in scan
dal prosecutions. The police have
been instructed to compile list of
such people and to warn landlords
and tenants against them.

New York, Sept. 23.-The sultan
of Sulu, who is on his way to America
carrying among other things half a
million dollars worth of jewels, is
liable to bump up against the federal
inspectors on his arrival. Rumor has
it that the sultan intends to dispose
of his jewels in America, having fail
ed to find purchaser in Europe with
the requisite amount of cash. The
question arises whether anything the
sultan may bring would be exempt
from duty. George Smythe, special
deputy, does not think they are ex-
empt. ION any question not decided
before he reaches here the inspectors
will hold him up, sultan or no sultan,
said Mr.. Smythe.

Aside for Coal and Power.

Washington, Sept. 23.-President
Taft has withdrawn from entry ap-
proximately 7O,3S3 acres of land in

The California lands, approximating
1927 acres, are situated along the
east Walker river in California. They
are believed to be valuable for power
purposes.
Those in Colorado are in the Glen
wood Springs district and amount to
about 69,055 acres. They are coal
lands and were withdrawn to permit
the geological survey to classify the
grades of coal. This withdrawal
makes the total of coal land with
drawn in Colorado approximately g.
295,13S acres.
Land in Montana amounting to $780,
O36 acres within the primary limits
of the grant of the Northern Pacific

with the din of battle today. The

Speaking of the lack of spectacular
features connected with the maneuv-
ers, General Bliss said:
THE value of such maneuvers is
principally, if not wholly, in the prac-
tice it gives the higher officers to
command large bodies Of troops, but
seldom teaches th rank and file of
the National Guard much when such
maneuvers have not been preceded by

CITIZENS To

Committees to Help Entertain
Delegates to Constitu-

MOST BRILLIANT SEASON
Nothing VIII Be Left Undone to
Make 1t Eclipse All
Others.

The members of the Santa Fe
Board of Trade and the Santa Fe
Commercial CIub-the two leading
bodies of business and professional
men Of the city-will work hand in
hand next month to entertain the hun
dred delegates who will be in the city
to attend the constitutional conven-
ton. Nothing will be left undone to
make this social season the most bril-
liant in the history of Santa Fe-sur-
passing anything that the Ancient
City has seen for 300 years.
At the last constitutional conven-
| ton, 30 years ago when Hon. l.. Brad
ford Prince was governor, the conven-
tion was attended by only 73 dele
gates and lasted only 20 days, accord
ing to resident of this city who at
tended tho convention and who lived
here for 25 or 80 years. The Ancient
| City then saw gay social season dur
ing the three weeks the visitors were
in the city, but this time with 100 del
egates and the prospect of their being
in session from one to two months it
is planned to have Santa Fe excel
even the hospitality of those days
when the army post contributed gay
uniforms to the brillance of the color
schemes at social gatherings.
How Thely Will Do 1t.
The Board of Trade held a meeting
last night to discuss the plan for en-
tertaining the delegates. 1t is planned
to give dances at regular intervals, to
procure the theatre certain nights and
to get up other affairs for the free
entertainment of the constitution
makers. A committee was appointed
consisting of DR.. j. A. Rolls, Frank
Owen and Carl Bishop to confer with
the Commercial Club.
Citizens Committee.
Today the committee held its meet
ing with the representatives of the
Commercial Club and joint commit
tee was formed to be known as the
Citizens Entertainment Club, compos
ed of DR.. j. A. Massie, president; DR.
J. A. Rolls, vic cspresideGt,s q ssssisani sisni

1t has been practically decided to
make the Commercial Club rooms a

where they may also find an informa.
ton bureau, desks to write letters
and have smoking and lounging
rooms. This will prove a great con
venience to strangers who can easily
get acquainted in such a place and
spend many happy moments when the
convention is not in session.

PIGEONS FLY FROM
DENVER TO PlTTSBURG.
First Bird Averaged More Than "a
Miles, an Hour-16oo Miles
Were Covered

Denver, Colo, Sept. 23.-After brav-
ing rain and wind storms for sixty
five days the first of the nine homing
pigeons released from the roof of the
city hall by Thomas Newton, secre-
tary to Chief Armstrong, on the
morning of September IA, arrived in
IPittsburg, Pa, September II. The dis
tance covered by the pigeons is quot
ed by railroad officials as 1900 miles.
The first bird averaged more than
twenty-four miles day When it
flew to the home of it's own, John
Snyder, il showed signs of much suf-
fering. The wings were battered and
one of the eyes was sore. These
facts show the "stick-to-it-iveness" OF
the pigeon. The other eight were in
comparatively good condition.
Mr.. Snyder, the owner, is one of the
most noted of pigeon fanciers. He is
continually shipping his "homers" to
various points in order to give them
trials of flying back to Pittsburg. He
asserts that none of his birds have
ever failed to return home.
