FISH HATCHERY
FOR THE new
STATE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL
INSTALL A PLANT, AUTHOR
lied BY RECENT BILL.

The United States senate last Sat
urday passed the bill introduced some
time ago by Senator T. B. Catron of
Santa Fe, providing for fish cultur-
al station in New Mexico. The site
for the hatchery has not been fixed,
the locality to be determined after
the safe legislature passes an act con-
ferring upon the government the
right to manage the station.
The opening of this station will be
of great benefit to this state. At the
present time it is necessary for New
Mexico to bring young fish from the
hatchery in Creede Colo, to stock the
streams of the new state, and as Colo
rado also has to be supplied from
this station, fish are often dished out
sparingly to the New Mexico streams.
There are many ideal places in
New Mexico for such hatchery, sew
eral Of the most desirable being To-
Gated in this section of the country
There are places in the Pecos forest
reserve well suited to the location
Of a hatchery. and the upper Gallinas
canyon would afford ideal conditions
for such a station. OF all places the
headwaters of the Gallinas probably
affords the most desirable conditions.
The lay of the land, the mountain
water as pure and clear as crystal
are suited to the location of a hatch
cry, and it is doubtful If any better
place could be found for the location
of the fish cultural station.

.PALzER WANTS TO
enlist TOMMY
RYAN
WIRES FORMER TRAINER OF
\. FLYNN AN OFFER TO ACT
AS INSTRUCTOR

Tommy Ryan, who recently resign
ed as trainer of Jim Flynn, this morn
ing received an offer from AL Palzer
to act as trainer for the New Yorker
while the latter Is getting ready for
his match with Bombardier Wells,
which is to occur on May 2S. Ryan
stated this afternoon he had not de-
cided whether or not he would accept.
Palzer recently announced his inten-
ton Of being here on July 4, to chal-
lenger the winner of the Flynn-John-
son bout. He says he is sure Of knock
ing out or defeating Wells, who is
the heavyweight champion Of Eng
land. Palzer has defeated Carl Nor
ris and numerous other white hopes
and is recognized as a conner in the
realms OF pugflism. Should Flynn ~
feat Johnson and should Ryan enlist
in the Palzer camp the sporting world
might witness the former trainer of a
champion assisting challenger to
prepare to battle for the belt. This
used to occur often in the lifetime Of
Billy Delaney, who brought out sew
eral Of the big fighters and usually
managed to be with the winner.

Chicago, June 1S.-The republican

oratory and factional enthusiasm, at
2 o'clock this afternoon had not yet
organized. United States Senator
Elihu Root of New York and Cover
nor Francis McGovern of Wisconsin

spectively had been placed in nomina-
ton for temporary chairman, but no
vote had been reached.
The Roosevelt people had attempt
ed to make the temporary roll but
Chairman Rosewater OF the national
committee refused entertain any
business but nominations for tempo
rary chairman. This brought the test
squarely upon that issue.
At 2:30 the vote on temporary
chairman seemed still distant.
bitter speech by Francis J. Heney,
attacking by name national commit
teemen who helped make up the tenn.
porary roll, had precipitated a scene
of confusion, cheers, Kisses and cat

BITTER Fight PRECEDES THE
VOTING Upon CANDIDATES FOR
TEMPORARY CHAIRMANSHIP

Blumenburg of the United States SEN
ate and Fred ireland, dean of the re
porters in the house of representa-
tivts.
Charles Dewey Hilles, President
Taft's secretary, made his appearance
on the convention platform before IL
O'Clock. His countenance showed no
worry or grave concern over the out
come of the session. Members of the
republican national committee made
their appearance one by one.
President Taft unexpectedly gained
a delegate in the Pennsylvania dele
cation today through the illness Of
Delegate Cooper of the Twenty-third
district. Mr.. Cooper is Roosevelt
man, but his alternate, Mr. Newcom-
er, is a Taft man. Cooper was un-
able to be present.
HadIey s Roosevelt Spokesman.
Chairman Rosewater 1T was an
nounced, had agreed to recognize
only Governor Hadley of Missouri, as
the representative of the Roosevelt
people.
Up to noon there had been no signs
Of enthusiasm, no cheering, no march
ing up and down Delegates and
leaders came in and went straight to
their seats. or stood talking in the
aisles.
These was some perturbation
among the Taft forces as to whether
Or not the two Taft delegates seated
from the Fourth California district
would be able to reach their seats
on the convention floor There was
relief when word reached the hall
that the Taft delegates had procured
guest tickets and would sit with the
delegates from Alaska. The tickets
for the entire delegation were turned
over last night by National Commit
teeman Knight of California to Gov
ernor Hiram Johnson, chairman of
the delegation,and one of the most
radical of the Roosevelt leaders.
1t was stated as the hour for the
convention drew near that the roll call
on the selection of temporary chair
roan would be by individuals and not
by states. This plan will be in ac-
cordance with the action of the con-
vention in 1884.
Bearing two huge banners inscribed
California for Roosevelt" the STATS
tipped with the golden bear of the
state. the California delegates, head
ed by Governor Hiram Johnson filed
into the hall. Scattering cheers
greeted them. Sergeant-at-Arms Stone
ordered the banners removed.
After considerable discussion the
Californians consented to remove the
banners but insisted on retaining the
staffs. Charles p Taft, brother of
the president. visited the Texas dele
cation and asked them to sit firm
in the boat" He also visited several
other delegations and urged them not
to be affected by Roosevelt cheers.
AT ten minutes of IL practically all
of the delegates we're on the floor
but many of them either had not To-
Gated or had not take their seats.
The aisles were choked and there
was much confusion. The hall was a
veritable Babel. Above the roar of
the conversation of calls and yells the
big band from its lofty perch kept
pouring out more or less mournful
tunes. Victor Rosewater began
pounding for order at 1902 p. m. Ser
geant-at-Arms Stone called his his as
tants to clear the aisles.
w. W. (Judge) Heffelfinger of Min
neapolis the famous former Yale foot
ball guard, led the attack on the aisle
crowds. He was acting as an assist
