GIRL AGAIN IN TROUBLE

Maria Figueroa, the girl who is ac
cused of abandoning her infant child
last week, is again in trouble. This
time she is charged with stealing
goods belonging to r. L. Richmond,
who conducts laundry on the corner
of Twelfth and National avenues. MIR.
Richmond missed several articles
which had been stored in the room at
the front of the laundry. He suspect
ed the Figueroa girl, who resided un-
til a short time ago in the rooms on
the second floor of the Richmond
building. Yesterday Mr. Richmond Sc
cured a search warrant and Chief of
Police Ben Coles searched the rooms
of the Figueroas in building near
the Rogers blacksmith shop, on Ma

ticles which are said to have been
those missed by Richmond. The girl

PALACE Hotel At
SANTA FE IS SOLD
WILLIAM VAUGHN DISPOSES OF
FAMOUS OLD HoSTELRY TO
w. G. SARGENT.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Aug. 1S.-The
Palace hotel, one of the Oldest and
most famous hostelries in New Mex
leo, was yesterday sold by its owner,
William Vaughn, to Territorial Aud
itor w. G. Sargent. The considera-
ton was private.
The hotel is to be refurnished and
equipped with steam heat, hot and
cold water, telephones, etc., and
made one of the best hotels in the
Southwest.
Rumor has it that Thomas P. Cable
at present territorial game warden, is
to be the hotels new manager. Mr..
Gable is a widely known boniface and
with him in charge the Palace hotel
would easily be the most popular and
best patronized hotel in the capital.
For years past the Palace hotel has
been republican headquarters during
the sessions of the Legislature ana
within its walls have been held eau
ceses that have shaped the destinies
of the territory. afs

what they consider a profitless sess-

TO QUIT FIRST OF The WEEK
REPRESENTATIVE UNDERWOOD
PREDICTS WIND-UP ON MON
DAY OR TUESDAY
LITTLE BUSINESS REMAINS
VOTE ON STATEHOOD AND ON
VETOED MEASURES WILL
MARK CLOSING HOURS

Washington, Aug. 1S.-A joint eff
fort by the two houses of congress was
inaugurated today to bring about a
final adjournment of congress at IL
O'Clock tomorrow night. The sugges-
tion was made to individual senators
by Senator Penrose and at his in
stance Senator Martin, Chairman of
the democratic caucus, conferred with
Democratic Leader Underwood of the
house, in hope of bringing the house
to accept that date. Following the
Martin Underwood conference Mr. Un-
derwood announced that no agree
ment had been reached as to adjorrn-
ment.
Senator La Toilette and Representa-
tive Underwood had a brief confer
ence today regarding adjournment.
Mr.. Underwood told the insurgent
leader he did not think 1t possible
for congress to finish its Iabors be
fore Monday or Tuesday
The progressive republican senator's,
their battle alliance with the demo
Gratis shattered by yesterdays drama
tic victory of the democratic through
political maneuvering of the regular
republicans, admitted today that no
more regular legislation is possible at
this session of congress and some of
them even contended it was doubt
full whether it would be possible to
close up the work already begun.
The house vote on the vetoed wool
and the action of that body on the
cotton bill practically will wind up its
business. The Arizona-New Mexico
statehood measure is not expected to
take much time in either house, nor
is action on the free list bill when it
comes back from the president ex-
jpected to prolong the session.
Many members Of the house and
senate are preparing to leave Wash
Iington Sunday. Adjournment by the
middle Of next week at the latest and
the passage of the cotton bill, with
amendments, including action on the
the steel schedule, was the prediction
today of Representative Underwood.
"The cotton bill will be passed before
adjournment" Mr.. Underwood declar-
ed. "As far as the iron and steel
amendment is concerned, the sched-
ule passed by the senate does not
vary from the schedule as prepared
by the ways and means committee
Whether we will accept that sched-
ule cannot say. The ways and means
committee meet today to discuss the
situation"
The proceedings in the senate yester.
day left many sore spots plainly evi
dent, among not only the insurgent
republicans but the democrats as well
AS a rule the regular republicans were
comparatively happy. They felt they
had accomplished much in confound
ling their enemies within their own

London, South Wales, the Midland
and the west of England. Only on,
train came in over the Great Cen
trail railway this morning. The othel
lines were getting their trains in ant
out Of the city and those running tt
the south coast were selling return
tickets and continued some of theil
excursion trains. Many roads sue
ceeded during the night in clearing
their lines of perishable freight by
keeping their freight trains running
at passenger speed.
The conditions in the provinces
were somewhat more serious than in
and about London. Early-in the day
word came from Birmingham, that
West England was completely
cut Off There was some disorder at
Birmingham.
AT Manchester business was at a
standstill, as the teamsters were still
out today, while at Liverpool the
chaos was complete. With the ex-
ception of a few incoming trains, all
of which were late, the train service
at Liverpool was practically sus-
pended.
Throughout Wales, where the
unions are strong, there was almost
total stoppage of the traffic. No
trains were able to get through to
Fish Guard.
AS the day progressed more serious
reports came in. The threat to call
a general strike of teamsters through

to be enforced, as the men appear

MARTIAL LAW is DECLARED
PRINCIPAL CITIES OF UNITED

SERIOUS RIOTING OCCURS
RAIL SERVICE GENERALLY DE-
MoRALlZED, THOUGH SOME
TRAINS ARE MOVING.

London, England, Aug 1S.-The
fight between the railway companies
and the striking union employees is
on in dead earnest today. Thous
ands have obeyed the strike order
and other thousands have continued
at work. The companies are operat-
ing their principal trains under modi-
fled schedules.
The government and sthe board of
trade are continuing their efforts to-
ward peace, but the old deadlock be-
tween the unions and the managers
appears to have reasserted itself.
The managers this morning had a
prolonged meeting with members of
the board of trade but as far as could
be learned the railroad companies
declined to bulge from their stand
of making further concessions, be-
yond submitting the dispute to the
royal commission suggested by the
The chfer cities OF InneIand are
armed camps. The stations, work
shops, signal posts, tunnels and
bridges are guarded by soldiers.
Clerks have been pressed into SER
vice to aid the non-strikers in NOV
ing trains. Despite the efforts of
the companies freight traffic is de
moralized and the shortage of food
supplies threatens famine at some
points.
There has been rioting at Birming-
ham, Derby, Sheffield, and at Lanelly,
Wales.
The government views the indus
trial war as so grave that parlia-
ment did not adjourn as had been
expected today, but will continue in
session prepared to adopt any emerg-
ency legislation the moment it is nee
essary.
The union leaders this afternoon
expressed themselves satisfied with
the response to the strike order
They claimed that 100000 men had
quit work
The government proposal for a
royal commission was considered by
a joint committee of the railway so
cieties during the forenoon but the
men did not change or alter in the
slightest degree their position that
the managers must deal directly with
them.
The Great Western railway and the
Great Central railway appeared OF be
most seriously affected. THE officials
of the former line candidly con
fessed their inability to afford the
usual service. Troops were in con
troll of their London station at Pad
dington, while police and troops
guarded the signal boxes and loco

issued orders closing down the shops
at this place all day every Saturday
and making the other five days of the

that the houre, on reconsideration,

the debate.
President Taft's message vetoing
the so-called Farmers Free List bill
