rcneous reports of the tarring of
Miss Mary Chamberlain, attorneys
for the nine endants, accused of

Cay filed with Judge Grover an ap-
plication for change of venue.

the sole purpose of compelling him
to give an interview to a metropolt-
an newspaper rsporter and of having

RUNAWAY ASSAILANT
is CAPTURED HERE.
ALBERTO FLORES, WHO STABBED
MAN IN TRINIDAD, ARRESTED
BY CHIEF BEN COLES.

Alberto Flores, hotel waiter of
Trinidad, charged with assault with
intent to kill, was arrested this morn
ing by Chief of Police Ben Coles.
Coles received a telegram from the
sheriff at Trinidad yesterday after
noon giving a description of Flores.
He captured the man this morning at
the Santa Fe station Flores, in a
fight with Tomas Delgado, another
waiter, stabbed him. Becoming fright
ened at his deed, he jumped on train
No. 7 and came to Las Vegas last
night.
| When arrested this morning Flores
made no attempt to escape but con-
fessed to the charge and asked if the
man was dead.
Flores said this morning that he
had been threatened by Delgado on
numerous occasions and yesterday aft
ernoon was called a number of abus-
| i've names and forced to fight in self
]
defense. Flores says that he became
| frightened at the sight of the limp
body and fed. BY the time he reached
Las Vegas he had thought over the
matter in his mind and decided to
remain in this city until called for.
He applied at the Casteneda hotel for
work and it was at the Harvey house
quarters that he spent the night. This
morning he expressed his willingness
to return to Trinidad without officia
summons. Chief Coles telegraphej
this to the officials in Colorado who
will arrive this evening to take
Flores back to face the charges.
Flores has been in the employ o.
the Harvey house a number of year,
and at one time worked under Mr.
Fowler, manager of the Casteneda
who speaks we'll of him. Flores Il
small in stature and a neat appearing
fellow and is spoken well of by thos'
who know him in Trinidad

AMERICANS IN PERIL
IN IOEREON, MEXICO
MINERS ARE ON A. STRIKE AND
COVER NMENT HAS LEFT THE
TOWN UNPROTECTED

FL Paso, Nov. 15.-The withdrawal
last night of 500 federal troops from
Torreon, Mexico, leaves Americans
there in great danger, according I'd
a telegram received from Torreon by
local business man today. The
message urges that the government
at Washington be notified that Amer
leans in the Mexico mining city are
in constant peril from the thousands
of native strikers whose sentiments
are declared to be violently anti
American.
1t was at Torreon that the mas
sacre OF Chinese occurred during the
rebellion against president Diaz last
winter. One of the pet grievances
among the more ignorant of the
poems was that nearly all executive
positions in Mexico we're held by
Americans. Although Francisco l..
Madero, now president, always dis
ccuraged the idea, many of the poems
believed that with the new regime in
the City of Mexico Americans would
be driven out and their high salaried
positions given to Mexicans. This is
one of the disappointments which
adds to the ugly temper of the strik-
ing miners at Torreon.

INDEPENDENT DEALERS
REGISTER A PROTEST
THEY ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH
GOVERNMENTS PLAN TO DIS
SOLVE TOBACCO TRUST.

New Pork, Nov. 15.-The filing to-
day by independent tobacco dealers
of a PETITION to intervene in the gov
ernment's dissolution suit against the
tobacco trust makes certain an ap-
peal from the plan to the United
States supreme court and may delay
disintegration of the trust, in the
opinion of counsel in the case.
Should the Independents petition
be granted by the circuit court, the
case will be taken to the supreme
court by the protestants, who would
then be parties to the suit, their coun-
sci, Felix H. Levy. declared. Should
the circuit court deny the independ-
ents their plea, he added, they will
take it to the higher tribunal, notwith-
standing.
The Independents recite in their pc
tition that they are vitally interested
in the dissolution of the tobacco trust
and that the decision will not, in sub
stance and effect, conform to the re
Quirements of the opinion and decree
made in this case by the United State
supreme court

A Significant Event

Peking, Nov. 15.-The most impor.
tant development at the capital today
was the publication in the Official
Gazette of Yuan Shi KaRs expression
of thanks to the throne for its APP
pointment of him as premier. This
is regarded as practically his ac-
ceptance of the office
That arrangements are being made
for the possible retirement Of the
royal family to Je Eol is believed, fol-
lowing the publishing Of an Imperial
edict simultaneously ordering Pu
Ting, the Tartar general at Je Hoi,
the, emperor's summer residence, to
vacate in favor of Hsi Liang, former
ly viceroy of Manchuria, a trusted
counselor to the throne. This step
will be taken only as a last resort,
however.
The provincial assembly of Nehi Ii
today adopted a memorial to the
throne, favoring the establishing Of a
republic with Yuan Shi Kai as presi-
dent. The assembly has been accused
of inaction and it is possible the move
IS only pretense at doing some
thing.

A MOST REVOLVING CRIME
YOUNG sPENDTHRlFT KILLED
HIS WIFE IN COLD BLOOD AND
WAS CONVICTED SPEEDILY.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 15.-Governor
Mann today declined to interfere in
the case of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.,
and the young wife murderer's last
hope of escaping the electric chair
on Friday, November "a, was swept
away. Attorneys for the condemned
man held their last conference with
the governor and just before noon the
latter announced his decision not to
interfere in any way with the decree
of the Chesterfield county court, which
was sustained by the supreme court of
appeals of the state.
A petition has been presented to the
governor praying for a respite of at
least 80 days for spiritual preparation.
In signed statement Governor Mann
said in part:
Il followed this case during the trial
and as it's horrible facts were de-
veloped, regretted that crime SO
cruel and malicious should have oc-
Cured within the confines OF this
state. In the decision of every aues-
ton which was presented to the able |
and impartial judge who presided at |
the trial, he was careful to give the
benefit of every reasonable doubt to |
the prisoner; that he did not err is
shown in the refusal of the supreme
court of appeals to grant writ of
error.
"That Beattie is guilty of the will
full, deliberate and cruel murder of his
young wife l have not the slightest
doubt, nor is it insisted that there
shall be any greater relief offered
than the Communication of his sentence
to Imprisonment for life.
81 do not think the afidavits of
Paul Beattie, printed in the papers, or
any other evidence of consideration
brought to my attention, sufficient for
that purpose.
ITO grant a respite in so plain a
case would be to set a precedent,
would be to temporize with the law
and to encourage appeals to the su-
preme court with the sole purpose of
gaining time. believe the best way
to prevent such crimes as this is to
punish them adequately, certainly and
speedily. Therefore, the Judgment of
the circuit court of Chesterfield will
be carried into effect without inter
ference from me-"
Beattie's father this afternoon told
the prisoner in the death cell of the
penitentiary that the governor had
refused all aid. Young Beattie re
ceived it in silence. the guards say,
but his iron nerve gave way at last
and he was visibly affected at the loss
of his last hope.

ture responsibility owing to the ad
mittance of New Mexico to the
Union. With the coming of state
hood the privileges of the citizens

met the demands of the community
in the past Mr.. Lucas prophesied that
it will do so in the future. He com
mended the work of the board of di-
rectors and the other officers of the
organization, for as Mr. Lucas said,
though their methods have not been
of the brass band" type the results
have shown the success of their ad-
ministration Just the same. The Com
merciai club, Mr.. Lucas stated, has
been abreast if not ahead of the
community and is an organization Of
which any citizen of Las Vegas just
ly can be proud. New Mexico is no
longer a foreign country to outsiders.
Resources will be opened. the coun-
try will be continually changing and
as the duties of the officers of the
club demand, Mr.. Lucas and the 9TH

meet the ever changing conditions.

Accompanied by a bailiff, Talesman
]. B. Sexton was allowed to visit his
sick brother during the noon inter

Prospects for full jury box in the

day when the first three men whose
names were called were excused one
after the other.
T. ]. Green, talesman accepted
yesterday by both sides as legally
qualified to try James B. Mcnamara
for the murder of Charles Haggerty
victim of the Times explosion, was
excused today on a medical certifi-
cate regarding an intermittent i'll.
ness. L. S. Gilhousen, who followed
Green, was excused because of his
opposition to capital punishment, and
F. E. Anderson, a venireman not yet
called into the box, was dismissed
when it was found he was not on the
county assessment roll, which is nee
essary in California, as qualifica
ton for jury service.
Michael w. Corcoran, a talesmar
accepted by the defense, was taker
in hand today by Assistant Attorney
