GUEST AT HOME OF sELF-coN.
FEssED klDNAPER's PARENTS
MAY PLEAD FOR PARDON

No barrier is Known to true love.
1t laughs at loe4smiS4is and prison
walls are not able to stifle it. That
the love of Miss Rose Crawford for
Will Rogers is true and lasting in spite
of the fact that he is serving sen.
tence in expiation for self-confessed
crime, is shown by her presence in
Las Vegas. Miss Crawford came re
Gently all the way from her home in
Los Angeles and is a guest at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. T. Rogers
Sr., parents of Will Rogers.
In company with members of the
Rogers family, Miss Crawford is sait
to have visited her lover in the peni
tentiary at Santa Fe Sunday. The
meeting is said to have been cordial
1t had been rumored for several day!
that Miss Crawford was in the city
That the rumor was based upon ac
tual fact was not known until las
night when she attended the recital a
tie Normal University in compan.
with John Rogers. The young woman
has been seen riding frequently il
an automobile with members of tn,
Rogers family.
1t is understood that Miss Crawfor'
intends exercising all her influenc
toward securing clemency for youn

It is thought that her trip to SAINT
Fe last Sunday was for this purpose
The governor, however, was not i
the capital, having gone to Ration.
Miss Crawford is pretty. Her mar
ners are charming. VIII Rogers coul
not have a better one to plea
his cause. It is more than liely, how
ever, that it will take somethin
more than pretty face and wiz
some manner to make Governor Mill
or any other official forget the enol
r1ity of the crime for which WI
Rogers was sent to prison.

40 INCHES OF RAIN

According to the guage at the Nor
NAL the rainfall yesterday afternoon
measured 40 inches. The rain, so far
as can be learned today, was general
over the eastern part of the county
and soaked the fields of the dry farm
ers. The downpour was timely. The
country was not suffering for lack of
moisture but the need for rain would
have become noticeable within a few
days. The farmers repor all their
crops are well out of the ground.
Beans, which were planted in unusual
ly large quantities this year, are look
ing mighty good. Oats and other
grains are in fine shape.

best musicians, participated in a de-

Mrs. Margaret Flint Collins, and Miss
Mary Coors. 1t was Mrs. Collins first
appearance here in some time. Her
voice has lost none of its charm and
has improved since her entrance into

heartily enjoyed. Mrs. Rankin's sing
ing is always pleasing. Mr.. Larkin
sang 'Davy Jones' Locker" He has
bass voice, full and rich. H. E. Fin
ney's guitar solo was roundly ap
plauded.
Accomplishments for several OF the
performers were played by Mrs. Chas

SOME THINGS FROM ILLINOIS
STATESMAN

Washington, June 20.-The second

of the circumstances surrounding the
election of Senator William Lorimer
of Illinois, scheduled for todaq, promis-
es to take far wider range than the
one Of last winter, which, after a bit
ter fight, resulted favorably to Mr..
Lorimer.
The committee began the taking OF
testimony, with Cyrus H. Mccormick,
president of the international Harves-
ter company, as the first witness.
Every person mentioned in connec-
ton with the case will be examined,
together with new witnesses, and it is
believed that visits to both Chicago

Lorimer, himself, will be questioned
most minutely.

Vermont; Gamble of South Dakota;
jones of Washington, and Kenyon of
Iowa. are republicans and four, Messrs.

brought out in the Mccormick testi-
mony today. It related to the fund
OF 100000, which it was told him was
being raised by Edward Hines to be
used to secure the election of Lori
