with the other events and ceremonies
which are to usher Crowley county In.
to Its position as one OF the full. fledged
counties OF the state OF Colorado,
wheeled into line and amid q cheering
crowd OF citizens started on its swing
around the Arkansas valley on Its
mission OF inviting "the whole wide
world" to meet with US on that day
and partake of our hospitality. Eight
OF these autos we're donated free to
the service OF the boosters, the ninth
being chartered by a party composed
OF Mr.. and Mrs. J. r. Dannelley, Mrs.
G. G. Kelley, VIM. Edgar and repre-
sentative of the New Era. Besides
the boosters, several OF the machines
carried the Ordway band, which fur.
nished not only its usual excellent
music at all stopping points. but a
very superior article of enthusiasm as
we'll. DR.. Ransom was unable to send
his machine with the others and dis
patched it after dinner to join them
ut Manzanola.
The frst stop was made at Sugar
City, where the bunch was most cor
daily received, the band listened to
with appreciation and two or three
more autos Joined the parade, Leav-
ing there the drive wound over to
Cheraw, where the town turned out
en- masse and the band dispensed u
couple of tunes. From Cheraw the
party went direct to La Junta, the
present county seat, but which after
! the 9Th of this month will sink to the
rank Of simply neighboring town.
Here the party stopped for dinner.
The band gave concert In the park
and the visitors we're treated to the
added feature Of q big fire 10 the Park
hotel. Leaving La Junta the line
,, wended its way home via Rocky Ford,
Manzanola aud Fowler, arriving tired
but happy. At Rocky Ford there was
as much cordiality exhibited as at any
other place along the route, despite
fears to the contrary. The boosters
were met at Senator Crowley's ranch
south Of the city by Mayor Coffman
and party and after partaking of the
apples and cider offered by their host
they were escorted into the city and
welcomed In an address by Mayor
CofYman. Postmaster Bashor of Ord
way responded In behalf Of the repre-
sentatives Of the new county aud the
good feeling prevailing among those
present was very pronounced.
At ManZanOla the boosters we're vel.
coined with open arms and the people
OF Fowler didn't seem to cherish any
resentment over the licking their ball
team received here recently.
During the trip, which was a most
enjoyable one to all concerned. consid-
cradle literature was distributed ad-
vertising the big fiesta next Tuesday,
and all indications point to a very
large attendance, as numbers who
we're interviewed stated that they in
tended to attend and also boost for
the occasion.

Ell PASO, May 29.-ReveIations OF an
alleged plot to start another revolution in
Mexico after overthrowing the leadership
Of Francisco 1. Niadero, jr., ana preventing
his journey to Mexico City, created intense
excitement throughout the insurrecto army
today.
That Madero has been advised OF certain
facts not generally known is believed by
some to explain the delay in his departure
for the capital 20 consult with President
de la Barra, concerning the pressing prob

the government. although Madero himself
declared he postponed his trip merely 10

The plot which resulted last night in
the arrest OF Daniel DeVilliers OF Mexico
City at El PasO and OF W. F. Dunn. an
American at Monterey, Mexico. is said
TO include three insurrecto chiefs operat-
ing in the state Of COshuila. A telegram
from Monterey today states tnat Dunn, on

Law for Railroad
Men is Upheld
Supreme Court Finds Statute Limiting
Work to Sixteen Consecutive
Hours is Constitutional.

WASHINGTON. May 29-'~rhe hours of
service law for railroad employees" passed
by congress in B07. was upheld today as
constitutional by the supreme court OF the
United States. This decision was an
nounced by Justice Hughes in the test case

road company.
The act made it unlawful for any COM
mon carrier engaged in interstate COM
merce TO permit any trainman subject 70
the act TO remain on duty for a longer
period than sixteen consecutive hours, or
any telegraph operator more than nine or
thirteen hours. according to the time the
telegraph station was opened for business
The act also created periods OF rest for
the employees.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company
attacked the law as unconstitutional on
the ground that il applied to lntrastate as
well as to interstate railroads and en-
pioyes The order by which the Interstate
Commerce commission placed the law into
operation could not and did not attempt to
delegate to the commission the power 70
require reports OF violation of the law;
that the labor and expense necessary to
make the reports constituted a taking OF
the railroads property without due process
Of law and therefore in violation OF the
constitution, and that il compelled self
determination by officers and employees OF
the railroad. also In violation of the CON
stitution.
The objections to the law were met with
denials by the government Both the law
itself and the order drafted by the Inter
state Commerce commission we're upheld
as constitutional by the circuit court of the
United States for the District Of Maryland
