said Territorial Secretary Nathan
Jaffa, who returned yesterday from a
thirty days vacation visit in Wash
ington and psorlS.
There is no doubt that the. pow
ers at the national capital expect
favorable tidings from New Mexico
on January 81, and would be greatly
disappointed if the constitution were
not approved From a conversation
l had with President Taft at the
White House last Saturday, l am GER
tain that he approves of the New
Mexico constitution, and not only
that, but that he is nightly pleased
with it. He has remarkable mem
ory for New Mexico facts and Incl
dents, and spoke pleasingly of the
territory and its people. Every one
in the east seems to regard statehood
as an assured fact, in which the ao
proval of the constitution next week
Is the only link necessary to com
plete the structure"

bio Ulibarri, Juan Montoya y Castro

the action of the territorial grand
jury. Castro is theman who shot
Canuto Romero through the arm and
leg about ten days ago. According to
the story, Mrs. Romero had fed from
her home to that of the Castros when
her husband attempted to beat her.
Romero followed her and demanded
admission to the house. This was re-
fused and Romero tried to break in
the door. Then Castro fired through
the planks with his big revolver and
Romero fell wounded to the ground.
His wounds were extremely painful
but not serious. Castro doubtless
will furnish bond.

CONVICTS ARRIVE
TO BUILD ROAD
BIGGEST DETACHMENT EVER
SENT FROM PENlTENTlARY
GO INTO CAMP AT sAPELLo

Forty-six convicts, the largest gang
of prisoners ever sent out from the
territorial penitentiary to perform
public work, arrived here this after
noon from Santa Fe in a car at
tached to Santa Fe train No. 10. The
men were in charge of Cleofes Ro-
nero, warden of the penitentiary, and
deputies. They were placed in wagons
and with their effects, were taken d.
rectly to Sapello, where they will go
into camp tonight. Tomorrow all
preliminary preparations will be CON-
pleted and Monday bright and nearly
the gang will begin work on the con-
struction of the new highway TO
Mora. Four other convicts are on
their way here overland and will ar
rive soon, making the entire number
in the gang fifty.
Andres Pena, a deputy warden, and
a deputy from Las Vegas will have
charge of the convicts. Not much
trouble is encountered in handling
the prisoners, few caring to attempt
to escape. Good behavior on the road
gangs means shortening of the sen,
tences. It also means the freedom
of the open air in contrast to prison
walls. For this reason the convicts
are usually good workers and behave
themselves we'll.
The convicts attracted consider
able attention at the station, large
crowd gathering to watch them. They
paid no attention to the people
crowded about them but packed thesI
goods into the wagons and were
hurried away by the officers. In the
gang were men of nearly every ma
tionality. Natives, negroes, Germans
Irish and descendants of many othel
races were rubbing elbows anc
swapping chewing tobacco.

ACCUSED WOMAN
LOVED SALESMAN
MRS. LAURA FARNSWORTH
SCHENk TOOK AFFINITY
JOY RIDING

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. 1.-THE
tedium of hypothetical questions and
technical testimony was suddenly
ended late yesterday in the Schenk
case when the state, through a wit
ness, brought into the court records
the first intimation of scandal in its
prosecution of Mrs. Laura FarnsWorth
Schenk, charged with administering
poison to her husband, John o.
Schenk.
Daniel Phillips, piano salesman,
whose name has been guarded from
publicity, told of long auto rides with
the accused, at her invitation, for
over eighteen months previous to her
arrest. In the last year, he said, Mrs.
Schenk had talked to him about plans
to secure a divorce, and later talked
almost constantly of her husbands s
possible death.
Phillips admitted that Mrs.
| Schenk, on various occasions, had
given him costly presents, among
them a diamond pin and a smoking
Jacket, but denied any knowledge oi
$500 fur overcoat, which, it had
been alleged, he was to have receiv
ed the day she was arrested.
The state attempted several times
to hint of intimacy between him and
the defendant, but to all questions bs
refused to answer on the ground that
he would incriminate himself.
