Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota, appealed to
the senate today to ratify immedi-

treaties with England and France

the terms of the treaties in no way

tration of any traditional question OF
American policy, such as the Monroe
doctrine or the control of immigra-
ton.
Ratifications of the treaties, Sena-
tor McCumber declared, would give
to the cause of arbitration such an
impetus that like treaties would soon
be made with all civilized nations.

Peking, Jan. 48.-The three men
who were arrested after the throwing
of bomb at the carriage of the pre-
mier, Yuan Shi Kai, were put to
death by strangling today.
Yuan Shi Kai today attended the
memorial rites for the captain of his
escort who was killed by splinter
from the bomb. The premier has
been granted three days leave, os-
tensibly on account of indisposition
arising from the excitement caused
by the attempt on his life. 1t is
thought, however, that the real rea-
son is that he does not desire to at
tend the conference of the supreme
dowager and the princes of the i'm
perial clan on the question of the
of the throne, which has
been called at the imperial palace to-
morrow. Seven Of the rMongolian
princes persist in their determination
to oppose abdication.
A placard posted in the streets of

sure Is De5ng brought to bear on the
court to secure the abdication OF the
emperor and it summons both the
Manchus and the Chinese to resist
this step until death.

gratified with the results accom-
plished. This train is blazing the
way for better farming in the Sun
shine State. 1t has been made plain
to us that all the farmers Of New
Mexico desire is an opportunity to
learn; and it is the purpose of the
agricultural college, insofar as our
means will permit, to place that OPP
portunity at their command. The first
step in comprehensive plan of col
lege extension work has been taken.
The New Mexico Agricultural college
is far more than a local institution.
1t is for the benefit of the whole
state; not. only for young men and
women but for their parents. It is
the aim of the college to be of i'm
practical benefit to the busy
farmer whose time is too occupied
for close technical study and who
must have opportunity to get quick
grasp Of methods which will be of
practical benefit to him in better
crops, better stock and increased fin
ancial returns. The demonstration
train has convinced us that this ex-
tension work will be fully justified
BY the interest of and benefit to the
farmers Of the state and it is our in
.ention to extend this work as rap
dly as possible"

JACK CURLEY ON
WAY TO CANADA
THAT is THE REASON o'MALLEY
HAS RECEIVED NO REPLY TO
HIS BID FOR FIGHT

Though up "a 3 oscso1k this after
noon Charles O'Malley, the local
F1ynn-Johnson fight promoters. had
not received an aswer to his wire
to Jack Curley, manager for Flynn,
the Pueblo fireman, he is expecting a
wire at any time and states that
plans for staging the fistic battle here
are progressing in fine style. O'Mal-
ley is confident that Las Vegas will
be given the preference over Jar
bridge, New, the only other bidder.
The reason for the delay in receiv-
ing an answer from Curley is that the
manager went with Flynn to Toronto,
Canada, the day that O'Malley wired
his offer Of 100000 However, o.
Malley has received word from nu-
merous concerns who wish to buy the
motion picture rights for this fight and
has been kept busy opening and an
swering communications regarding all
branches regarding the staging of the
battle. O'Malley stated this afternoon
that he has the money ready to de-
post as security and no delay in this
line will be necessary.
Chief O'Malley has received offers
from numerous promoters of assist
ance in raising the cash for the fight.
Las Vegas has it over Jarbridge
seven different ways, SO when it
comes to a showdown there should
be no trouble in landing the big cham
pionship battle. Jarbridge, New, is
located go miles from railroad and
is town of only few hundred peo-
pie with no means of accommodating
the crowds of fight fans that will
come from all corners Of the states.
Las Vegas is half way between Chi
cago and the Pacific coast, with ideal
climate, places for training, places for
staging the battle and ommodation
for the thousands, who follow the
ring. ~
Either the old Gallinas park race
track or the Montezuma hotel prop
erty in the Hot Springs canyon viii
be the scene of the big "doings'
should Charles O'Malley land the
fight And in the latter case the Mon
tezuma hotel would be opened up fol
the reception of guests, which witt
the other building on the propert.
would go long way toward accom-
mediation of the public.
Charles O'Malley has received moth
ing but encouragement, and the pub
lie opinion is all for the big battle il
Las Vegas. A fight Of this kind i
something to be remembered and no
a passing affair. Crowds will begil
to come to the Meadow City long be
} fore the day of the fight. Motion pic
. ture men, sporting reporters from al
over the country and It will be La
Vegas this and Las Vegas that in al
the big papers.
