Hot Springs Property May Soon Change Hands

From a Denver gentleman, who was here recently, the Sun learns
that the owners of the Hot Springs property here have received an Of
fer for the property and if satisfactory terms AN be made the springs
will change hands. For reasons that seem good we refrain from
mentioning any names in connection with the proposed deal. When
1t becomes a certainty all the details will be given. Let US hope
that the company formed for the purpose of buying the property will
be successful in securing the springs and that it will lose no time in
their development.
Our friend, Will Reid, editor of the Rawlins journal, is down in

We hope the Inter State Commerce Commission will soon find
time to look into the robber tariffs of the express companies. The

be "A very strong inducement for the people to favor the Parcels Post

THE
THE
LOS ANGELES TINES DISASTER

scored point. The special Investigate
ing committee reported on October 3
that catastrophe had been caused by
high form of explosive deposited in
Ink" alley, and without any evidence
to that effect except the mere surlnise,
the coroner's jury and the grand jury
began their investigations"
Six weeks have passed since the ex-
plosion and no reputable evidence has
been introduced in proof of the dyna-
mite theories, yet there have been pro-
ceedings in Los Angeles of which
great many of the residents are ignor-
ant and the rest of the world knows
little or nothing.
Free Press and Speech Suppressed.
The six weeks have developed many
other things, however. and they have
demonstrated to fair-minded people who
have been able to discover any of the
facts that something indisputably un-
fair is going on in that city; that the
rights of free press and free speech are
being denied. and that a grand jury,
supposed to be a set of fair-minded and
impartial men, given authority to ex-
anime into certain set Of facts, has
followed in the footsteps Of Harrison
Gray Otis and the governor of the state
and decided the verdict before exam
lining the facts.
7 remember my first sensations of
horror upon hearing of the Times dis
astcr and the horrible loss of life, and
searched for motives It didn't seem
possible that any enemy of Harrison
Gray Otis would destroy plant at an
hour when none of the powers of the
Otis regime we're around the building
and at time when Otis himself was
ont OF the country. 1t didn't seem
probable either that any sane unionist
would commit al act which would work
such terrible harm to the cause Of la
Dor and turn the sympathies of the whole
order-loving public to the enemy of la
Dor reserved Judgment. Then came
the story of the bombs. They were al
most convincing. They came just in
time to quiet the doubt that began to
creep into the public mind almost i'm
mediatcly after the shock of the cx-
p1osion had been expelled.
Rogers and Other Detectives.
There were all the clues picked up
and dropped again by Earl Rogers and
his associate detectives, and there were
the suspects arrested, only to be proved
false hopes and released again. Then
there was the finding Of the dynamite
in San Francisco. These things all
played part i'll molding the opinion of

crime when I arrived III Los Angeles.

One hundred and two years ago to-

day, in a log cabin near Hogdensvllle,
now Larue county, Kentucky, Abe
Lincoln was born. Fifty years ago
yesterday he babe his friends and
neighbors of Springfield, ILL.,, touch
ing farewell and started for Washing
ton to be inaugurated president of the
United States. When he again re-
turned to Springfield he had finished
the greatest work done by an Amer
lean since the time of Washington, but
was being borne to his tomb.
1t is fitting on this the anniversary
of his birth, that we here note some
personal recollections of Lincoln
which have been recalled to mind by
some of the residents of Bismarck.
One of the men who knew Lincoln
was Adjutant A. D. Cordner of the
John B. Mcpherson post No. 2, G. A.
R. Mr.. Cordner is of patriotic stock.
His father was pensioner of the
War of 1912, and had nine sons and
grandsons in the Union army fight
ing for Abe Lincoln"
Mr.. Cordner enlisted in the First
Rhode Island Light Artillery on the
day it broke camp at Washington and
went to Georgetown where it shipped
to Virginia for the trip up the PENN.

under General Sedgwick in the Sec.
ond corps of the Army of the Poto.
mac when Sedgwick was division
commander. Later, when Gen. Sedg-
wick was assigned to the command
of the Sixth corps, the Rhode Island
Light Artillery was also transferred
to that corps.
Mr.. Cordner was first under fire at
Yorktown, and engaged in every bat
tie in which the Second corps partici-
pated until the time of its transfer,
and during the balance of the war
took part in all of the important en-
gagements. It was under Sedgwick
that the Sixth corps carried Marie's
Heights in the battle of Fredericksburg,
thus saving Washington from invasion

Free press, free speech and the right

Has he?
In Los Angeles today the existence
of all three of them is being denied.
There is neither free press nor free
speech, and not one man, but gigan-
tic organization of men, hundreds OF
American citizens, have been robbed of
the presumption of innocence and pro-
nounced guilty without hearing.
At one o'clock OH the morning of o.
tober l the plant of the Los Angeles
Times was destroyed by an explosion,
and q persons persisted in the fire that
followed.
A few hours afterward the morning
edition of the Times, issued from the
unionized composing room of the Her
aid, contained in large type the state
ment-not surmisc, but declara-
ton: "UNIONIST BOMBS WRECK
THE TINES"
At the same time the managing edit
or of the paper, Harry Andrews. gave
out an interview i'll which he said the
Times building had been destroyed by
the enemies of industrial freedom.
That was six weeks ago. 1t was al
most the last expression of a free
press uttered III Los Angeles.
Men Convicted Without Evidence.
With no other evidence than the
fact that the building had been de-
strcyed and % persons killed, the
Times accused and convicted the organ
lied working men of America of a
crime which, if it was crime COM
mitted by human agency, would be one
of the most dastardly outrages of i'll
dustrial history.
The Times convicted and telegraph
wires carried the conviction to the
press of the entire country James n.
Gllett, governor of California, reversed
the procedure of holding man inno-
cent until he has been proved guilty,
and declared in public statement:
"Whethcr guilty or not, the unionists
will have to be blamed for the crime
until it is shown that they are not
guilty"
Two rival papers issuing editions be-
fore noon on the day of the explosion
asked that judgment be suspended until
an investigation had been made. Soon
afterward guard was placed at the
home of Harrison Gray Otis and F. J.
Zeehandelaar, and then came the an
nouncement that Detective Thomas
Rico had "found" suitcase containing
a bomb at the Otis house, closely fol-
lowed by the discovery of bomb in the
Zeehandelaar garden.
This was all the proof needed at the
time to convince the majority that the
Times building had been blown up by
dynamite, and Harrison Gray Otis had

itself as ready aud prepared to
take over the New Mexico Bap-

HYDRAULIC ENGINEERS
ARE INVESTIGATING
Box Canon Certain to Develop
The Power
CAN A MARKET FOR
POWER BE DEVELOPED
Building Of Power Plant Hinges
Upon This Point

d. W. Spence and T. /. Smith,
Jr., expert hydraulic engineers
from the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College Of Texas, arrived
here Monday afternoon for the
purpose of making a thorough
Investigation and exhaustive re-
port on the development Of
power from Box canon. They
left the same afternoon, in COM
pany with Engineer 7. NJ. Nor
ton, for High Rolls, aud spent
Tuesday morning examining the
dam-site, exploring the canons,
and then drove back to Alamo
gordo. That afternoon they spent
i'll looking over George Carl's fine
irrigation plant and system.
Wednesday morning aud after.
noon they spent in inspecting the
wells in the valley to the west
and south of Alamogord0. To-
day they are looking over the
country to the north and west.
Their investigation is made with
more particular reference to the
practicability of pumping for ir-
rigation in this valley.
From previous surveys, inves.
LEGATIONS and reports, the Alamo
gordo Water Power Co. is con-
vinced that the desired amount
of power can be developed in
Box canon. What the company
is more interested in is to know
whether or not a market can be
developed for the use of the
power. If water is available in
sufficient quantities to make
pumping for irrigation a success,
the market for power can be
developed. That is exactly what
Messrs. Spence and Smith are
here for, to determine whether
there is sufficient water under
ground.

THEY HAVE EXCITING
RACE FOR CLAIM
James Madison is the Winner By

Story Reads Like the Old-tlme
Border Races

James Madison and wife of AL.
amogordo made a race by train
with five men on horse back from
the Alamogordo neighborhood
namely Dog Canyon, on Wednes-
day of last week. The opening
by the government Of a small
residue of land was the reason
and it seems that the plucky
Madison may be the winner. Mr.
Madison and wife arrived here
from Alamogordo via FL Paso on
the night train arriving at S:45.
Madison made directly for the
Land Office which of course was
closed and locked. But the lob
by between the Land Office and
the postofIice was open and Mr..
Madison slipped back toward the
rear end and when the Postmas-
ter safely locked the postoffice
door on the lobby for the night
Mr.. Madison was locked in. This
was entirely 10 his liking and ne
spent the night on the floor of
the lobby. In the mean time
five hardy horsemen were cross,
ing the Organ Mountains in the
night and one of these sought to
file upon the land that had been
chosen and settled upon by Mr..
and Mrs. Madison. The hardy
five arrived about , 30 on Thurs
day morning and took up their
station at the door of the L. s.
Land Office chuckling at the
tardiness of Madison who could
plainly hear their words of exul-
tatiOn in his prison. The five
sons clung to the door when Neil
Gross, Assistant Receiver, ap-
peared at s o'clock to open the
office door. Great was their sur
prise to be met by Mr.. Madison
who was Of course first into the
