Chicago is a bad place for people who steal" said the colonel. The people have spoken and politicians dead and alive will be made to under stand that they are servants and not masters of the rank and file of the plain citizens of the republican party. This is no factional fight. This IS contest between the people them selves and the perpetual politicians, presenting all that is worst and cor rupt in politics and in business. The people will win. We have won Tn every state where the people have eX- pressed themselves, three to one, ana sometimes eight to one. We are stronger now than we were then This is a fight worth being in.
 Asked what he thought of the ac- ton of the committee in the con- tests of Texas he said: T am not going to tell you anything about that now At that hour the committee had not taken up the Washington contests and the colonel was asked what he thought would be done.

ALL BUT MOBRED.

The colonel was all but mobbed when he reached his hotel and had he not been met by his personal body guard headed by United States Marshal Frank Tyree of West Virginia, he would have found it difficult to fight his way through the crowds. The crowd rushed the candidate and almost pushed him over the railing. In the crush several men and women were trampled The police rushed into the breach just in time to avert disaster to the crowd was near panic.

could do so. The walls of the
vat showed the marks made by
his elbows in his frantic efforts

horrible plight.

NEW LAWS
IN EFFECT.

. Santa Fe, N. NJ, August 81
All the laws which were passed
| by the late legislature, which did
not carry the emergency clause,
: will become effective September
7th, that being the ninety first
day after the adjournment of
the legislature. At that time
the bureau of immigration and
the coal oil inspectorship pass
out of existence. while many very
important laws become effective
on that date. The law establish
ing state and county highway
commissions and commissioners
becomes law at that time, and
the state highway commission,
composed of the governor, the
state engineer and the land COM
missioner, will have to name
three persons in every county to
be known as the county highway
commission, which will have
charge of the expenditure of all
moneys for roads in each county.
These officers will serve without
pay.
On this date also the new auto
mobile license law will go into
effect, and after that date, each
auto will have to pay $40 90 year
ly and display a state tag. Sec

ber with the letters N. M. to go
on the rear of the machine will
be about four by ten inches.

SOLOMON LUNA
IS DEAD

Albuquerque, N, M, Aug 81
Solomon Luna. millionaire bank
er and sheep grower, for 16 years
republican national committee
man for New Mexico, and who
refused to accept election to the
U. S. Senate at the hands of the
first state legislature, met q
tragic death at Horse Springs,
Socorro county, 76 milesi.,from
Magdalena, at an early hour to-
day when he fell into a vat [con-
tanning thousands of gallons of
sheep dip after being attacked
with heart failure. Becoming
ill during the night, it is sup
posed Mr.. Luna arose and went
from his room to the dipping vat,
a few yards away from the ranch
house. 1t is presumed he at
tempted to get a drink of water
from a faucet near the vat, and
being stricken with heart failure,
tumbled into the poisonous mix,
ture of lime, sulphur, tobacco
and water. At A O'Clock this
morning camp employees saw
body floating in the vat. The
skin was peeled from the face
and hands because of the boiling
water which had been turned in
to the vat at l o'clock this morn
ing. The body was not recog-
nized until one of the Mexican
herders declared that it was that
of Mr.. Luna.
He at once hastened to the
room where Mr.. Luna slept and
discovered that his bed, which
had been occupied, was empty.
The body was clad in union
suit of underclothing when
found.
Solomon Luna was 81 years of
age, represented New Mexico in
the republican national commit
tee sixteen years, being one of
the oldest members, in point of
service on the committee. He
was prominent in business and
politics, and was probably the
best known man, as well as the
wealthiest in New Mexico. He
leaves a widow but no children.
Magdalena, N NJ, Aug, 81
The Investigations into the death
of Hon. Solomon Luna in DIP
ping vat at his ranch near Horse
Springs Friday morning and
brought out at the coroner's in
quest yesterday, show conclusive
ly that he met his death by ac-
cidental means and that heart
failure or foul play had nothing
to do with it.
The most connected set of
facts produced show that Mr..
Luna had slept in room adjoin-
ing that used by his chauffeur,
Elmer Fullerton and his ranch
manager, Eduardo M. Otero-
During the night he got up and
walked out in the fresh air, first
putting on his shoes His pro
gress about the camp was easily
traced and it was shown that on
his return trip he had stepped on
a board near the brink of the
dipping vat, which was level
with the ground, that this board
had slipped and that he had been
precipitated headlong into the
vat. AS this was wedge shaped
and as he fell hard, his head and !

CHARMS OF COUNTRY LIFE
Ideal Cottages Can Be Bought
on Easy Monthly" Plan.
By 1. I. Mcknight. OF Mcknight Realty
Company.

For the man of family, whose first con-
sideration is his family, their comfort
and health. the suburbs offer so much
more than the city that 1t is hard to
make a statement conservative enough
to carry conviction.
The average man whose earnings are
between 5000 and 5000 year usually
lives in a city apartment OF from four
to eight rooms, at a rental Of from 80
to 500 a month. IL he lives in good
neighborhood, he may get four rooms and
bath for S35 month. or eight rooms and
two baths for 500 a month. In certain
portions of the city he may secure larger
rooms for the same money, but at sac
rifce of congenial environment and ac-
feasibility to rapid transit.
When summer arrives the terrific heat
of the city drives him TO some cooler
spot In the suburbs or the country. This
country vacation usually costs as much
as he is able to save in the year. This
surplus will probably secure for him u
couple of stufy rooms In some old farm
house, or, II he goes to some ncdi by
suburban place where he can commute
daily, he gets little better accommoda-
ton.
on the other hand, what does living In
the suburbs offer a man earning the
same salary?
| First and foremost. there are beautiful
suburbs within so short distance from
Manhattan that man can reach his Of
flee from his home in shorter time and
with more comfort than he can from up
| per Manhattan and The Bronx. The
/ electric lines running out of Pennsylva-
MIA Station TO many parts OF Long Island
| and the near completion OF the electrihca-
| ton Of the North Shore division OF the
Long Island Railroad eliminating the
change at Woodside), with the command
of the entire city's subway and elevated
system through adequate and con-
yenient transfer arrangement at the new
| Woodside station at Roosevelt avenue
the residents of northern Queens will
| have as good transit facilities at their
command as any section of the greater
city.
The Manhattan elevated and subway
during rush hours offer anything but
pleasant travel, whereas the smoking or
| pdSoCHbCl NcA Va OlIO Va bhO az" SNSNi
electric trains from the Pennsylvania
Terminal offer easy comfort. an oppor-
tunity for reading and enjoyment OF a
pleasant chat with ones neighbor. The
cost of suburban traffic is somewhat
higher for the same distance than the
elevated or subway, but this cost is gen.
orally Offset by the economy that is
effected by residence In the suburbs.
| For the same amount Of money the
average man pays for rent In Manhattan,
he can purchase in the suburbs house
with more and larger rooms. situated on
plot of ground Of his own, where the
air is clearer, life is easier and GER
tainly more welcome.

WAMPAGE SHORES DELIGHTS
Some Costly and Attractive Homes
That Have Been Built.

Only few years ago the little PENN
sula, Barker's Point, near Port Washing
ton, on the North Shore OF Long Island
was an ideal place for the fisherman
hunter and bather The small boy used to
roam there looking for mollusk shells and
glittering stones on the fine, hard sand
beach. With or without bathing suit he
could wade out for a distance OF several
hundred feet, and many a lively water
battle was fought on the point. The
ground rising gradually to a densely
wooded terrace, offered opportunities I'M
equalled for the playing OF Indian and
cowboy.
The whole area being clean, solid sand
and gravel substratum with rich top soil
insuring absolute freedom from dampnoss
and mosquitoes, the Wampage Realty
Company four years ago began to develop
this property into a residential water
front park Of great attractiveness The
grounds were graded and fortified broad,
r1candering avenues OF tarvia were laid
out: terraces were created; fine lawns
trees and hedges were planted, and all
improvements necessary 10 make a home

result was parklike development of un-
