HEADLIGHTS ON BABY
BUGGIES ARE PROPOSED

Baby buggies and go-carts out after
dark must carry headlights SO that
unwary pedestrians may be warned to
get out of the way, if bill intro
duced by George Kindel in the board
of supervisors last night becomes an
ordinance. The bill provides that all
vehicles either driven or propelled"
be required to carry either light on
the left side or one at the rear and
one in the front.
Assistant Attorney Frank Adams,
who drew up the bill on Mr.. KindePs
request, says that perambulators and
go-carts certainly come within its pro-
visions.
"a baby buggy is vehicle and it
is propelled" said Mr.. Adams. II
don't know whether any court would
hold the propeller of baby buggy
liable if he or she failed to comply
with the provisions of the bill, but
there can be no doubt that perambu-
lators as well as horse-drawn car
riages are included in Mr.. Kindefs

TELEPHONE BUSINESS
NOT LIKE THE OTHERS

SALT LAKE, Jan. 23.-Although
unable to discuss the matter in de-
tail until the terms of the petition
| to dissolve the American Telephone &
Telegraph company are received here,
local officers of the Mountain States
Telephone & Telegraph company
pointed out today that the operations
of the American Telephone & Tele-
graph company are not analogous to
those of the Standard Oil and Amer
lean Tobacco companies.
They declare that the extension OF
the operations of the company has
been accomplished, not by the ac-
QUESTION of competing companies, but
by the extension of the non-competi
tive units. While they admit that a
large territory in the telephone field
is controlled by what are known as
the Bell telephone companies, they
declare that this territory has not
been acquired by the sitting Of com
petition, but by the organization OF
non-competitive companies operating
under system of inter-relations
which practically have been demand
ed by the public.
In regard to the operation Of the
company in Salt Lake, they point out
that the Utah Independent Telephone
company at public auction, after the
competing company had become bank

INDIAN BABY DIES THIS AFTER
NOON.

About 2 o'clock this afternoon, the
ten months old baby of Mr.. and Mrs
Ed Ladd, two Apache Indians, died
at Ochsner hospital of spinal men
nights. There was very little hope
from the first but every thing was
done for the child that medical skill
and nursing could devise.
The parents came in from the Jica-
rilla agency at Dulce, with their baby
some days ago, Emmett Writ, the post
trader, accompanying them, and stay
ing over in town to do what he could
for the poor father and mother, who
grieved terribly over the baby's ill
ness.
The little thing was buried this aft
ernoon and in the morning Mr.. Writ
will take the parents back to Dulce.
Parental love knows no distinction of
race and no color line, and be they
white, red, black or yellow, fathers
and mothers the wide world over will
sympathize with those who suffer the
loss of their children.

AGAINST
SPINAL MENINGITIS

TOPEKA, Kas., Jan. 26.-The spi-
nal meningitis epidemic in Texas and
Louisiana has become so serious that
orders have gone out from the gen
eral headquarters of the Rock Is
land and Santa Fe in Topeka giving
ticket agents the authority to sell tick
cts to certain points in these states
subject to delay. Two towns the rail-
roads refuse to recognize on their
lines-Jewett and Grosbeck, Tex.
Sixteen towns are mentioned in the
order. The agents will sell tickets to
these towns only on the agreement
that the passenger is not promised an
entrance into the village and that his
destination may be delayed for some
time.
All of the railroads in Kansas with
lines running to Texas and Louisiana
points where the spinal meningitis is
prevalent have followed the lead of
the Santa Fe and Rock Island and
stamp all tickets Subject to delay"

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.--The duke
Of Connaughts impressions Of Amer
lea are given considerable detail in
a statement prepared during his rail-
road journey between Washington and
New York.
Royalty is not allowed by court eti.
quette to be quoted in first person or
to give interviews and the statement
therefore is in the third person or
the dukes aides acting as his proxy.
Part of the statement published
here is as follows:
The duke has been very much grati-
fled with the reception accorded him
in New York and says they could not
have made more fuss over him II he
had been the president or an ex-
president. The duke approves Of the
easy ways of Americans and Cana
dians and does not mind in the least
being called dukey as Ia sometimes
done by persons in the streets. He
prefers the democratic manner to the
stiff formality of England. He also
noticed the neatness in dress OF the
average woman in the street, and the
general air of prosperity and rich
ness of costume Of the society women.
AT a dance on Wednesday night he
was astonished at the vivacity and
beauty Of the young women present
and the display of wonderful jewels
the duke had never seen such col
lection Of brilliant gems at any court
function. The turkey trot danced in
modified form amused the distin-
guished visitor very much.

A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.

Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker, the prom
| inent club woman, who has filled a
number of important Offices in both
the State and National Federation
of Woman's clubs, ably, and has for
years taken an active interest in poll
tics, is the guest of Mrs. John l..
Mcneil for few days.
As president of the National Fed
Grafton of Woman's Clubs, Mrs. Deck
er's name became familiar from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the
great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico.
She has pretty wit that is more
over goodnatured; is clever and we'll
balanced.
Several Durango residents can tes-
tify that she is fine public speaker
and equally successful in fulfilling her
duties to her home, to society, Capital
81 and the body polite. But both
clubs and politics have been used by
Mrs. Decker as opportunities for use
full efforts to benefit the common
| wealth.
We do not know that any higher
compliment can be paid to any wom-
an than that she is useful, has really
done good to her generation. 1t is a
fine thing to be good mother and
homemaker, but when the mother
spirit is broad enough to take in all
mankind, and finds expression because
it must, in efforts to benefit the town,
the state, and all who are needy, and
oppressed, in addition to the above,
we have no words to express our
thanks. We can only admire in si-
lence, and let our appreciation be
manifested in our emulation.

GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, Jan. 26.--
General Pedro Mentero, who recently
was very popular here in Guayquil,
was yesterday shot by the angry pop
ulace, dragged into the streets, be-
headed and burned.
General Mentero, in November last,
was proclaimed president by troops
stationed in Guayaquil but handed
over the leadership in the provisional
government to General Flavio Ala
rou. The revolutionary army went
from Guayaquil to meet the govern
melt troops from Quito, which were
under the command OF General Leon
idas Plaza, who defeated them and
eventually forced Guayaquil to ca
pitulate. General Mentero, with other
leaders, was captured Jan. % and
last evening the general was brought
before a court martial and sentenced
to sixteen years imprisonment in the
penitentiary. When General Plaza,
who was president over the court
martial, announced the sentence the
crowds Of angry people who had sur
rounded the government palace await
ing the result shouted violent protests.
The excitement increased rapidly and
some of them rushed into the court
room and riddled General Mentero
with bullets, seized the body and drag
ged it int the open air, there they
hacked thc had off his shoulders and
gathered fuel with which they started
fire and then cast the head and
trunk into the flames.

NOTES FROM THE LABOR WORLD

In an official report the British sea-
mems union states that It's income
is now $4,000 week and that the
seamen's wages have been increased
by the last strike by some $40 or
$50 per annum. A new program OF
demands is being drawn up which
will be presented to the ship owners
this year.
Wisconsin's new fifty-fve-hour-a-
week law for women clerks is playing
havoc with the retail clerks union. 1t
is said the union is losing many Of its
women members as the result OF the
law. The women argue that the state
law protects them and does for them
lust what the clerks union was ex-
pected to do.
The employees and clerks Of the
Toronto, Ont, post office have started
a movement to organize the staff of
clerks and letter carriers for the pur-
pose of making demand upon the
government for better rate Of pay
than that which clerks and letter car
riers now receive. II some consid-
Grafton cannot be obtained, it is hint
ed that strike may result that will
tie up the service.
