Fl Paso, February 16.-Lieut Benjamin w. Fields of the Eighteenth infanry. who was arrested at F ort Bliss today for hav- ing led his men onto the Mexican soil yesterday, merely followed the usual lnle of street car travel. He was bound for the santa Fe street bridge and followed the crowd until wildly excited Mexican soldiers, thinking the bugaboe of Amer ican invasion" had arrived. arrested him and his detachment. Ibe young officer says he did not know he was violating an international law.
 Fields was ordered to take his com mand to Santa Fe street bridge for guard duty and instead of leaving the car at the international line and marching west on American soil 10 the Santa fe street bridge, he remained aboard with his com mand under arms, intending to ride around the loop through Mexico, which is the usual route.

 Hand Ready Tuesday
 Richard L. Hand. the attorney who ap- peared to conduct the hearing, will open it here Tuesday morning.
 It may be forestalled by Justice Ger. ards decision, however, for if this were in Brands favor 1t would return the Dris- oner 10 the position of one never having been tried for the crime for which he has served five years. in which case no pardon will be necessary Justice Ger ard intimated today that his decision would be given Monday or Tuesday at the latest.
 Papers Burned
 The grand Jury learned by records Of the police department and the testimony of the police officers that the photo graphs and private letters taken from Brandts room were destroyed by order of Former Police Commissioner Bingham on recommendations of former Inspector w. W. Mclaughlin, under whose diree- tion Detective Woolridge is said to have signed the report on Brandt's record, now shown to be false
 Among the photographs. according to Police Lieutenant John Taylor, who searched Brandts room after he was ar rested, were those of q number of women and some of the letters in feminine hand writing were In English.
 Leaving the grand jury room I.ieuten- ant Taylor went to police headquarters and applied for retirement on half pay. As Taylor has been in the department fer a years and has reached the age limit. his retirement is mandatory. as there are no marks against his record,

Hanged in Pairs

The execution of the men who were hanged in pairs, the Shiblawski brothers first cut short the plea.
 The hanging of Thomas Jennings, ne- gro, who killed Clarence Hitler while at tempting to rob the Hitler home, came after Judge Landis. in the United States district court had denied a petition for release of writ of haheas corpus, which set forth that Jennings had been convict ed on finger print evidence which he had been compelled to give the police in vio- ation of his rights.
 Judge Landis did not rule on the com- potency of evidence holding that the point if taken to the federal courts at all should have been carried directly to the United States supreme court from the state supreme court He also declined to consider the affidavit of a photographer, that he had been asked by the police to retouch photographs of Jennings finger prints and sharply criticised the man who made the affidavit for delaying to make his statement until the trials and appeals were over The five hangings caused many to discuss the abolishment of capital punishment in Illinois

karns Bros. Get the Contract.

Wednesday night the Town Council met to consider bids for the installation of machinery and pipe line for bringing water from the Santa Cruz river for the intended municipal water system.
 Karns Brothers bid of S51, ,OOO was accepted subject to satis- factory arrangements with the council regarding the contract ors' bond and other details. The price includes the installation of tl.e :>lant all complete ready for pumping water from the river well to point near the north ern limits of the town where the piple can be connected with the Water Company's main.
 Councilman Overton was the only member who opposed the acceptance of the bid. He earn estly addressed the Council at length speaking in favor of in staliing an electric power plant adjoining the Water Company'S well and by which power water could be pumped from Tom Bayze's two wells and the Com pany's well thus affording the town an abundant supply of water. He asserted that the cost of such a pumping plant would leave the town a surplus of SIS, 8,OOO or S20,OC0 out of the $60, eco available and enable the town to cover the needed inn provements to the present water system. Besides this MT. Over ton claimed an annual saving of several thousand dollars in the cost of pumping the water so l short a distance as against haul ing oil and pumping from the river He also referred to the proba bility. of securing artesian water in which event the power plant would be- conveniently located for handling it. He urged the Council not to forget the petition signed by the tax payers asking for an electric pumping plant, but the Mayor and other mem berS feared a scarcity of water in the locality north of town and refused to i favor Councilman Overton'S pro- position.
 Harry Karns says he will have old Santa Cruz water here in time for the Boosters" Fourth of July celebration.
 The town expects to take over the Water Company's property sometime next month. And gen tlemen, don't forget about that sewer system. It is none too early to begin on it,. now. A few hundred men hustling around here will make things look like business.
