After a contest by five cities, Mil

STATEMENT MADE BY CHAIRMAN
OF THE HOUSE STEEL TRUST
COMMITTEE.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Chairman
Stanley of the house steel trust in
vestigating committee, had a confer
ence today with President Taft, after
which he made statement regarding
former President Roosevelt's editorial
in the outlook on the government
prosecution of the United States Steel
corporation.
Il doubt that any one man." said
Mr.. Stanley, will make up the mind
Of the American people as to the good
or evil Of the steel corporation. l be-
lieve that there are a great many
facts in the case which Mr.. Roosevelt
does not know. 4 doubt that Henry
c. Frick and Elbert H. Gary made Mr..
Roosevelt their father confessor with
perfect candor."
Mt. Stanley said the Sherman anti
trust law was a competent statute
but he believed it could be improved
by supplementary legislation. He in
dicated that his conference with the
president related to that subject.

Normal boys returned last night
while the remainder and the coaches
stayed in Santa Fe, to enjoy bas-

DISTRICT COURT WILL
BEGIN NEXT MONDAY
SESSION WILL BE SHORT ONE, AS
BUT ONE WEEK Is AVAIL
s ABLE FOR TERM.

Monday morning at 10 o'clock the
regular November term of the district
court for San Miguel county will be
convened by Judge Clarence J. Ron
erts. Owing to the fact that Judge
Roberts will be obliged to attend the
regular session of the supreme court
in Santa Fe on the following Monday.
the session will be run through with
the greatest possible speed.
The venires for both the grand and
petit juries have been summoned by
Sheriff Secundino Romero to appear
promptly on Monday morning. An
effort to complete the panels of both
juries before adjournment in the even
ing will be made so that the work of
both bodies may be begun with no
loss of time. Judge Roberts hopes to
complete the hearing of all important
criminal cases now pending before
the court within the space of a week.
Night sessions will be held if neces-
sary.
Fortunately it is expected that not a
great deal of new business will be
originated by the grand jury. Good
order has been maintained in the
county since the last term of the
court and there has been little crime.
The grand jury should be able to
complete its deliberations by Friday
evening and be discharged. Several
persons indicted for various crimes
are now in the county Jail. These
will be given speedy trial It is
not expected that the court will be
able to take up any of the cases on
the civil docket. District Attorney
Charles W. G.. Ward will unite with
Judge Roberts in an effort to transact
the business of the court with as
much expedience as possible.

TWENTY-sIxTH ANNUAL SESSION
OF NJ. N. {. A. is A TIRE
MENDoUs SUCCESS


While the proceedings of the New
Mexico Educational association,
which is now in session in Santa Fe,
are of great interest to Las Vegas
people because this community is
there by a large number
OF its teachers and students, the
greatest interest hinges upon the re-
suit of the annual contest of the New
Mexico Interscholastic Oratorical
association, which will be held in the
Ancient City tomorrow evening. Las
Vegas is to be represented by two
of her best orators.
Miss Aurora Lucero will speak for
the Nodmal University in the collie
giate department. Thomas Truder
will represent the Las Vegas high
school in the high school section of
the contest. The Normal glee club
and members of the musical faculty
Of the Normal will appear on the
program.
The Educational association open
ed it's twenty-sixth annual session
yesterday morning with about 500
visitors and delegates enrolled.
Speeches were made by President
Joseph Hofer of Tucumcari and Gov
ernor William J. Mills. Both address
ses were excellent. Alvan N. White
of Silver City, who is believed to
have been elected state superintend-
ent of public instruction, was also on
the program, as was Andrew b. .Swoup
of Albuquerque. defeated candidate
for the same office.
Today was spent in the reading of
papers and the transaction of inn
portant business. Tomorrow the
teachers will go on special train to
Santa Clara from which place they
will be taken in carriages to visit the
cliff dwellings. This trip will be
made under the direction of Dr. Ed
ward L. Hewett, president of the
American School of Archaeology. To
visit these ruins many people come
thousands of miles and the New Mex
leo teachers are fortunate in being
able to view this historic portion of
the new state and examine the rem
nants of an early civilization about
which little is known except through
the disclosures made by the shovels
of the excavators. Most of the teach
ers will remain in Santa Fe for the
oratorical contest tomorrow evening.
They will return probably Sunday af-
ternoon on train No 10.

Washington, Nov. 17-Danger of an

revolutionary movement in Mexico
has caused the suspension of return
to their home stations of the Ameri-

The attitude of the United States is
one OF apprehension of further trouble
against which every precaution is to
be taken to insure the strictest neu-
trality.
1t is reported here that a serious
situation undoubtedly is developing
in Mexico. Recent reports of disturb
ances in various parts of the repub-
lie at first were regarded as based
on not more than the ebullitions OF
half trained soldiers who found Il
difficult to return to ways Of peace.
Now, however, reports are reach
ing Washington from various sources
indicating that there is danger of an
other revolution which may absorb
within it the lesser and sporadic dis
orderly bands in various parts OF the
republic.
