(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Washington, d. c., May 20.-An ap.
peal has been taken to congress from
the navy department by non-Mormons
who have protested TO the government
against the acceptance of the silver
service for the new battleship Utah,
one piece of which bears the likeness
of Brigham Young. A delegation of
women from Utah was given hear
ing in executive session in which the
matter was urged on the committee.
The committee was told that the pro-
testants had been unable to get any
promise OF action from the navy de-
partment and insisted on congress
taking cOgnizance Of the situation.
They said the non-Mormons subscrib-
ed as literally for the service as did
the Mormons and that they had no
idea the gift was. to symbolic Nor
monism.

ant Principal.

The closing exercises Of the scholas-
tic year at the Spanish-American Nor
NAL school tool: place on Thursday,
May Is, in the Normal school building
at FL Rito. Rio Arriba county
Although a considerable number of
the students had left in advance, in or
der to assist their families in agricul-
tural work, or in the pressing busi-
ness of the lambng season, yet, suf-
ficient number remained TO give inter
est to the occasion. As usual, the peo-
pie of Rio Arriba county were repre-
sented in the audience to show their
appreciation of the institution and the

tive secretary treasurer. was much In
evidence. The program had been ar
ranged by Mrs. George Dixon, the as
sistant principal, with her usual good
taste The exercises were brief and
did not differ materially from those
usual on similar occasions. Profess
sor Martin, the principal. presented to
the trustees a list of students who had
attended during the year, with the
length of attendance of each. There
had been a brief interruption in the
winter, on account of the prevalence
of a mild type of smallpox in FL Rito
which required the vaccination of all
the pupils and the temporary absence
of some.
President Prince announced that
each student who had. been present az
recitation for at least two months
would receive certificate of attend
ance. He also announced that the
next annual term would commence on
September 5. being the first Tuesday
in that month.
Some short addresses We're made,
congratulations were exchanged on
the amount of public land appropriate
ed to the institution by the new state
constitution and on the good worl.
Iof the school notwithstanding its linz
tied means; and the Spanish-American
/ Normal school ended the second year
/! of its existence.
Owing to the absence of some of the
trustees, and the desire to have a
unanimous attendance at the annual
meeting. when many important mat
tiers are to be considered, the trus-
tees meeting was adjourned TO Santa
Fe, to date when all can be present.

The writer of the letter is Arthur

Investigation showed the headless
body OF man lying in the sand.
Not far away was the head or skull
for the flesh had disappeared and the
skull showed two bullet holes in the
back. One of the bullets was what is
called metal patch bullet or sort of
a dum-dum bullet. No hat or coat
was found and in the clothes no papers
were discovered which would lead to
the mans identity or occupation. Only
few matches were in the pockets.
Further examination showed that
the man wore a large shoe, probably
number ten. He was blonde and
evidently an American.

Under tree ten feet away was
found a woman's side comb which may
lead to the discovery of the woman

A theory of suicide seems untenable
not only from the position OF the
bullets but from the fact that the
mans head was severed from his body

B o Technicalities Fought
Before Fifteen Judges

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Cincinnati. ohio, May 20.-Motions
to quash the perjury indictments
against George B. Cox, banker and
Republican political leader, made by
his attorneys two weeks ago, were
granted by the common pleas court.
The indictments were found defective
in substance, this phase of the deci-
sion operating to free Cox not only
from the indictments in question, but
also from reindictment on the same
set Of alleged facts by any subsequent
grand jury.
Won on TechnicaIities.
Cincinnati, May 20.-Cox was in
dicted February 21 and his case has
been fought before fifteen judges of
| the common pleas, circuit and su-
preme courts OF Ohio. the battle of
technicalities starting when Cox,
charging prejudice, swore off the
bench Judge Frank German of the
criminal bench of the court of com.
mon pleas The indictments charged
that in testifying before the grand
jury in 1906, Cox declared he had re-
ceived no money paid by various
banks to the county treasurer as
gratuities" for deposits of county
! funds, the existence OF these gratuities
having been brought out by legisla.
| tive investigating committee. The
grand jury, in January 1911, however,
charged that it had information that
he did receive interest money from two
different treasurers, amounting in all
to 100000.
The court holds that in calling Cox
| before the grand jury in 1906 and com.
pelling him to testify and then indict.
ing him for perjury because of that
| testimony, there was violation OF
his constitutional rights.
