LOWS DECLARES NIPPON
WANTS PEACE

Los Angeles, Feb. 6-"There will
be no war with JAPAN" declared Ed
ward G. Bellows, former United States
consul general to Japan in an address
here yesterday.
Mr.. Bellows spoke In part:
THE recent confidential report of
Secretary Dickinson to congress; The
of Congressman Hull that
he number of our field guns should
be doubled; the appearance of Hob
son with his national council of de-
fense' bill the resolution of Congress
man McLachlan declaring that 200,-
900 warriors could be landed in thir-
ty days to devastate our coast, iso-
late us from the east by blowing up
our mountain passes, and ever after,
live peacefully and happily on our
western frontier; these announce
ments coupled with hostile press COM
ments, have combined to produce an
other strong wave of unrest, whose
currents serve only to excite suspi-
cion and distrust of the motives OF. a
peaceful and friendly neighbor."

BEWARE OF FORGED
POSTOFFICE ORDERS
THOSE WHO CASH ANY BETWEEN
NUMBERS 1883 TO 10000
WILL LOSE MONEY

Warning has been issued by the pos
tai department against the cashing of
money orders numbered IL, ,96S to 12,-
900 inclusive, the blank forms for
these orders having been stolen from
the postoffice at Edwards, Ind From
the circumstances of the theft it is be-
lieved the forms were taken by
man who intends filling out the or
ders and defrauding merchants and
other persons whom he can induce
to cash them after postoffice hours.
On the evening of January 81
well dressed man of about five feet
and eleven inches and weighing about
175 pounds, entered the postoffice at
Edwards. The man said his name
was McNabb He represented himself
as inspector of supplies" and show
ed letter purporting to have been
written by postal department official
as his credentials. The man repre-
sented to the postmaster, that owing
to the recent change in money order
forms and report forms, postmasters
were improperly issuing money or
der and improperly preparing the
money order statements. He said he
had been sent to give the postmasters
proper instructions and see that they
had an ample supply of all forms
needed in the money order business.
The man spent some time examining
the forms and supplies of the money
order department. When he left he
took with him the money order stamp,
saying it was out of repair and he
would see that a new one was sent
the office by the department. After
the man had gone the theft of the
thirty-two money order forms from the
book was discovered. It is probable
that the man will fill in the orders
for large amounts, make small pur-
chases and attempt to collect the diff
ference. The man is described as
smooth talker.

Definite announcement that at
least one aeroplane will be used in

chief of staff, today. The u. S. troops
are finding the maintenance of neu-

accepted Robert Golfers offer of one
of his new Wright biplanes, which
will be rushed from New York to the
Mexican border by express and turn

supplemented by at least half dozen
others. With that number of ma

Mr.. Macon and the reporter came to a
head Immediately after adjournment
was taken for the day. Mr.. Macon had
bitterly assai'ed the reporter, whom he
denounced from the floor because of
an article printed Saturday afternoon.
The demand Of the reporter after ad-
journment that the language directed
against him be expunged from the rec
ord caused the storm to break.
Immediately upon adjournment the
reporter sought Representative Nor
ris Of Nebraska, to enlist his aid in hav.
ing the bitter denunciation swept from
the records.
On the floor he found Mr.. Macon
and made the demand of that gentle
man. Mr.. Macon replied that he
would stand by what he had said.
the reporter made a belli-
gerent rush in the direction of the
from Arkansas.
Strong arms thrust the newspaper
nan back, however and he was de-
aimed in their clutches until such
.ime as the anger of all had sufficiently
waned to permit Norris to persuade
Macon to have his arraignment of the
newspaper man expunged from the
ecord, which was done.

SNOW and SLEET
STORM in CHICAGO
RAIL AND WIRE TRAFFIC PARA
LIVED AS RESULT. OF SUD-
DEN WEATHER CHANGE

Chicago, Feb. 6.-Snow and sleet
which accompanied last nights
storm, continued today to hamper
traffic. Fully two-thirds of the ele-
waited train service of the city could
not be operated and steam railroads
were almost as badly tied up. Condi-
tions grew worse as the day advanc-
ed, the declining temperature coat
ing the rails and telegraph and te'e-
phone wires with ice and bringing
the latter down in all directions.
The storm continued to grow worse
as the day advanced and reports from
the country around Chicago show it
to be widespread. On North Shore
drive scores of automobiles are stuck
in heavy snow drifts where the own
ers had to abandon them.

new bridge Will
BE BUILT BY COUNTY
SSIONERS ACT FAVORABLY
ON PETITION OF TAXPAYERS
OF SAN JOSE

Favorable action was taken this
morning by the board of county COM
missioners at it's regular meeting on
the petition of a large number of tax
payers requesting the erection of a
modern bride across the Pecos river
at San Jose. The bridge will be on
the old Santa Fe trail and will re-
place a structure which was washed
out several months ago. The bridge
will prove of great convenience to
the merchants and many of the resi-
dents of Las Vegas as well as TO the
people residing in the southern part
of the county. The present board OF
county commissioners has shown
during it's term of Office disposition
to do all in it's power for the repair
ing of roads and building of bridges.
This is appreciated by the residents
of the county, especially so as the
commissioners have been able to ac-
complish great deal in an econom.
ical way.
Other bridge petitions are in the
process of formation and were e2
pected to be ready to present to
the commissioners this afternoon or
tomorrow morning. One Of these re-
quests the commissioners to construct
bride across the Pecos arroyo at
or near the old slaughter house on
Las Vegas-Los Alamos road. Anoth-
or petition will ask for the construc-
ton of bridge across the Gallinas
at the Hot Springs. This will take
the place of a structure at the end
of the boulevard which was washed
out several years ago.
The commissioners this morning
reappointed Cruz Segura as custodian
of the court house and grounds. Sc
gura has proven "a painstaking as
well as efficient janitor.
The commissioners have consider
able business to transact and may
not be able to complete their delib-
erations before noon tomorrow.

MAKES DRAMATIC SPEECH

TO INTIMIDATE HIM
HIS BLUFF WAS CALLED ONCE
HOUSE ADOPTS RESOLUTION PRO-
vIDING FOR AN INvEsTIGA-
TIoN OF INCIDENT

Washington, Feb. GA remarkable
scene took place in the house today
when Representative Macon OF
Arkansas, speaking on question OF
personal privilege, scathingly arraign-
ed the newspaper men who, he claim
ed, had sought to intimidate him, and
dramatically asked what protection a
member of congress had. Today's in
cident was the outgrowth of a sensa-
tional fracas Saturday between the
Arkansas congressman and a newspa-
per correspondent, whom he had de-
nounced. The house adopted a resolu-
tion offered by Representative Gardi-
ner of Massachusetts,, providing for a
full investigation of the incident, by
a subcommittee of the judiciary COM
mittee.
The first reading of the agricultural
bill in the house late
Saturday afternoon precipitated a bit
ter exchange of words between Mr..
Macon and Mr.. Stanley of Kentucky
and this later was followed by de-
of a Washington newspa-
per man by Mr.. Macon, which nearly
ended in an exchange of blows be-
.ween the two. Nearby congressman,
men and the sergeant-at-
lrms prevented fighting.
In the linguistic exchange between
he congressman terms were employed
which called for their being expunged
