persons who talked to Sam Schepps in
Hot Springs, Ark. The court refused
to hear the plea.
Mr.. Mcintyre had opposed granting
the request of the jury when it was
made to the jury six and a half hours
before.
1t was upon this question-whether
sam Schepps was an accomplish to the
murder-that justice GOff had hinged
his charge to the jury.
Attorney Hopes For Reversal.
An appeal from the verdict goes di-
rectly to the court of appeals at Albany
and acts as a stay of execution.
When the jurors left the courtroom,
they went directly to their homes. They
were under the mandate of justice Golf
not to communicate the nature of what
had taken place in the jury room"
There is not the slightest doubt that
there will be a reversal of this verdict
in a higher court said Mr.. Mcintyre
after the jury had filed out.
District attorney Whitman said the
trials of the remaining prisoners in the
Essential case viii be called later. All
the prisoners indicted with Becker have
asked for separate trials.
To Fight For Becker.
Exhausted by the ordeal Of the trial,

defence, began today the preliminary
steps looking to an appeal and a stay
of execution for his client. The case
will be fought to the court of appeals.
and Becker, pacing his cell in the
Tombs, expresses hope of the result.
Mrs. Becker. who tainted after the
verdict, is under the care Of relatives
at her home, in the Bronx. Like her
husband. she never dreamed of a first
degree verdict, but rather counted on
a disagreement of the jurors.
Justice Goff it is understood. has
gone to the country for rest over the
week end.
The InfOrmers Informed.
One of the first places to which the
news of the verdict was taken was the
west side prison, where are CHARTERED
the informers, Jack Rose, Sam Schepps,

He was at first suspicious when told

killed through derailment or col

were 27, 100000 passengers car
ried during that time.
Rail breakage has been reduc-
ed to a minimum by the intro
duction of the standard rail. Steel
cars are replacing wooden cars
over the entire Hartman System
and automatic block signals will
soon be in operation over every
part of the lines. The inspection
of the rails as they are manu-
factured, originally inaugurated
by the Hartman Lines, has had
much to do with the making Of
this safety record, and several
other roads in this country have
started similar inspection meth
DDS. There is one way to reduce
the fatality record on American
railroads and that is to pass laws
that will prevent trespassing on
the rights of way. Fifty three
per cent. of the people killed on
our railroads annually lose their
lives because of trespassing. A
large majority of those killed are

The lamentable condition of
affairs as TO public education in
New Mexico was revealed by sta
tistics read by the governor.
There are thousand school dis
tricts and only 1889 school
rooms, 100,045 children of school
age but only an enrolment OF
56,77 and an average attendance
of 2,54S. There are 80 districts
that held no school last year, Is
had school only for one month
As for two months, 207 for three
months, and 179 for four months
The total expenditures including
money spent for buildings were
1897, ,S9l. 80, or S7.32 per child Of
school age, $12.S9 per enrolled
child, $22.47 per child attending
as against an average of S49.9l

Underground Silos

The matterof storing feed in
this country has already become
a serious question with farmers.
The erection of huge hay-barns
as is the custom in many eastern
states is not yet practiced here
on account Of the expense, yet
the need of more and better feed
and more practical ways of stor-
ing it has been amply proven this
winter. Coming to the rescue at
this time are the clever fellows
who, in the absence of means to
erect modern silos for the storing
Of green feed, have figured out a
substitute which has proven In
many ways superior to the origin
al. This idea, which several far
mers have carried out, is to dig a
large hole in the ground as large
and as deep as they need to store
their feed, cut up all the fodder
green and run it through an en-
silage cutter into this hole, tramp
it in tight and cover it up as near
air tight as possible, and protect
it from rain or flood water and
when winter comes you have the
hest form of feed for all kinds Of
stock safe from wind and weather
and with no expense save your
labor in preparing a place and
storing it.
The cistern-silo has many ad'
vantages over the above ground
kind. 1t costs nothing but your
work to build it, it protects the
ensihge from frost, it takes but
little power to run the cutter to
fill it, less than half the power
requirep to run blower, it is alb
soultely safe from damage by
storm or otherwise and is con
veniently reached when needed
by means Of a rope and windlass
We urge each farmer on the mes,
to try at least a small silo of thi!
kind. There will be an ensilagt
cutter here this fall as it has al
ready been arranged for.

Doings of the Legislature

From among the great mass
of news and other stuff published
in the state dailies we CLEAN y
few facts of special interest to
Roy people.
The committee on County and
Municipal Corporations is L. @.
Ilfcld, Champion, Hartt. Holt,
Juan Navarro, Alldredge and
Doepp. This does not seem to
be especially favorable to our
new county plans. The impress
sion we get from the reading of
several papers is; First that
things are well organized in the
senate as evidenced by the
promptness with which they re-
ported out their committees, Off
GERS and subordinates.
The second is that the House is
not so sure of its footing rs it is
not making public, as yet, any Of
the ioings of The Ring within
the ring" All that we get
at present is guesses, more OF
less wild by frenzied press report
ers and others as to what they
will do. One Of the rankest of
these guesses is that the "Stan6
pat republicans intend to unseat
enough democrats to give then
u working majority of thirds
This is, on the face Of it, physi
cal impossibility unless every re
publican member present is
moral peryert, and we don't be
lieve they are. So we class thi
talk as the craven imaginings o.
a diseased mind.
The Senatorial fight seems t,
have narrowed down to thre
probabilities, Andrews, Fall an'
Catron. The has-been part.
Bosses are lined up against eacl
IN support of the favorites. Bui
} sum is for Andrews and Solomol
Luna is managing Falland Cairo
We think we see thru this line u
and wonder why some nifty boil
! er don't bob up and take it fror
all Of them.
