SUDDEN CHANGE OF FRONT
FROM AN ATTITUDE OF INDIF-
FERENCE HE HAS CHANGED
TO ONE OF PREPARATION
HUNDREDS OF APPLICATIONS
MANY REQUESTS RECEIVED
FROM THOSE WHO WISH TO
WITNESS EXECUTION

Richmond, Va, Nov. 21.-Henry
Clay Beattie Jr., condemned to die
next Friday morning for wife murder
at last has given up hope and is re
conciled to the thought of death. To
day he spent several hours with Rev
j. ]. Fix of the Presbyterian church
in Bible study and frequently was
at prayer.
Douglas Beattie, his brother, is au-
thority for the news of this abrupt
change from a nattitude of seeming
Indifference to one of serious thought
and solemn preparation.
Hundreds of persons from all over
the country, some in high positions,
have applied for permission to wit
ness the electrocution. Only the
jury, as required by law, however,
will be present. Hysterical appeals
in person and by letter are being re-
ceived by Governor Mann begging
for communication Of the sentence of
death but the governor has declared
that justice must take its course un-
any act of his.

MITCHELL CHARGES
PACKED CONVENTION
MEETING OF MINE WORKERS
THAT FAVORED CIVIC FEEDER
ALTON WAS ILLEGAL.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 21.-Vice Presi-
dent John Mitchell sprang a sensation
on the convention floor of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor today when
he made the charge that the Colum-
bus convention of the United Mine
Workers, which passed resolutions di-
recting delegates to request the re-
nomination of federation officials who
were officials of the National Civic
Federation. was packed with dele
gates who did not belong there.
Refusal of the resolutions and rec
ommendation that Samuel Gompers
and several other officials Of the
American Federation of Labor be
compelled to withdraw from the Ma
tional Civic Federation, precipitated
the expected contest. Protagonists of
the resolution attacked Andrew Car
negie and the other capitalist mem
bers of the Civic Federation.

RuLEs AGAINST pEEENsE.

Denver, Nov. 21.-Attorney Hilton,
of the defense in the trial of Mrs.
Gertrude Gibson Patterson for the
alleged murder of her husband today
reopened the matter on which Judge
Allen ruled yesterday, holding thar
opposition to the death penalty dis
qualities talesman from being sworn
as a juror.
Attorney Hilton declared that in a
state like Colorado, where the law
gives the jury discretion between the
death penalty and life imprisonment
it is immaterial what his sentiments
are on the point. Both sides quoted
authorities, but in the end the court
again upheld the contention of the
state.
Defense and prosecution used two
challenges each during
the first hour, but it was still hoped
that the jury would be completed by
tonight.

As started, the good roads improve
ment for Las Vegas and vicinity il
in the right direction. all work so far
carried on, has been of permanent
nature, and with sufficient care and
maintenance will be substantially i'm
proved.
Your committee would recommend
that the county be induced, II pos
sible. to buy certain road machinery,
such as scrapers and rollers which
machinery is highly necessary for the
maintenance and Improvement OF
roads already constructed.
We would like further to recon-
mend that roads Immediately entering
the city of Las Vegas and the streets
of Las Vegas be given to the care of
Las Vegas proper, as in many inn
stances highways of outlying districts
are in better condition than those in
our immediate vicinity.
In connection with the care of the
city streets, movement has been
started by your good roads commit
tee to create popular feeling in favor
of oiling the streets of Las Vegas,
provided that the city can be induced
to place them upon something of an
even grade so that they could be
rolled and prepared for such treat
ment. Data concerning this treat
ment is being gathered and will be
furnished the press at an early date.
We would earnestly recommend the
Of a civic improvement
league to give popular recognition to
the efforts of the few people who
are working to the end of general i'm
provement of our little city. and to en-
courage the building of curbings, out
lining the streets and parkings, all
Of which tends to reduce the dust
area of Las Vegas.
With one other. recommendation of
your committee, that the street rail-
way company be asked to use more

should be and remove such loose
ock which is now frequently left up |

TAX PAYERS THRONG
COLLECTORS OFFICE
MONEY is COMING IN FROM ALL
PARTS OF UNITED STATES AS
WELL AS THIS COUNTY.

Il have received remittances today
from people living in nearly every
state from Pennsylvania to Califor-
mia, who desired to pay their 1911
taxes on San Miguel county real es-
tate" said deputy county treasurer
and collector, Robert L. M. Ross, this
informing. Money for 1911 taxes
is coming in rapidly from all sources
Many Of the property holders who do
not reside in this county, however,
are among the names on my list OF
best payers They usually pay taxes
for the entire year instead or maxi
ing two semi-annual payments.~
Mr.. Ross says that the payment of
taxes in this county for 1910 was ex-
ceptionally good. In spite OF the
stringent condition Of the money mar
ket the collections were considerably
better than the average. County As
sessor John H. York deserves much
of the credit of this condition owing
to the careful manner in which ne
made up the assessments, obliterating
many erroneous entries on the rolls.
Mr. Ross says that 1911 taxes are
coming in daily in large amounts.

NEW TEACHER ELECTED

Urgent need for more room at the
Normal University was made plain
to the members of the board Of re-
gents of that school at meeting held

large for any of the other recitation
rooms, will occupy this apartment.
It is likely other classes will recite
there as we'll. Desks and black boards
for fitting the room in good condition
for class work weer ordered and will
be installed as soon as they arrive.
