who were murdered or died violently
or who strangely disappeared.
"The five tragedies that have oc-
Cured in the course of my career at
the bar, are merely co-incidental and
nothing more. No proof can be Of
fered to the contrary and every accu-
sation or suggestion of wrong doing
on my part is utterly without foun-
dation.''

name has been brought into promi-
nence through the death of Mrs. Rosa
Szabo, an Austrian woman in Fern

PROGRESSIVE COUNTY
CONVENTION BIG ONE

/ Enthusiasm marked the opening of
the first county convention of the pro-
gressive republican party held this
afternoon at Fireman's hall. Stirring
speeches by former Governor Miguel
/ A. Otero and George w. Armijo were
features of the opening of the con-
vention which was well attended by
progressives who repeatedly cheered
the speakers. Former Governor Otero
called the convention to order at
2:1O p. m, delivering a brief speech
in English as George Armijo inter-
preted it in Spanish. He said
This is the first, real, progressive
convention ever held in Santa Fe
county. (Applause.) There have been
other conventions called by the au-
thority of the republican progressive
league but they were not perfect pro-
gressive' conventions such as this
"Progressivism is a name which
must be an inspiration to every one
who attended the Chicago convention
of progressives as was my good for
tune. There the work ahead of all of
us was mapped out by the leader the
people want-Theodore Roosevelt
(Cheers) And it was this leader who
impressed on every one of his 10000
listeners that the present progressive
party is not the party of combina-
tions but separate organization

benefit of the people. Mr.. Roosevelt
declared that our party invites both
republicans and democrats to join it's
ranks because it is generally under
stood and felt that the two old par
ties have served their purposes and
now are worn out There is need of
a new party which has no regard for
the old parties.
"My friends, wish to impress upon
you that when you go into this new
party you enter one that is clean and
ready to fight the corruption of the
old parties This party knows no
such thing as q capitalistic party
within it; nor has it labor party or

tain men have to be put into power.
to do work but never will these men
act in the progressive party as boss
es but as workers. (Cheers.) The
charge has been made that the pro-
gressive party is Roosevelt party
but it was Mr. Roosevelt himself
who refuted this assertion when he
declared the progressive party would
last long after him. say it is real
inspiration to follow such leader-a
man who would resign tomorrow if
the people did not believe he is the
right man to lead them in their fight
for supremacy over boss rule and po-
litical corruption. With such party
victory awaits us November when
the greatest landslide in the history
of American politics will make Theo-
dore Roosevelt again the president of
these United States-the home of the
free, the land of the brave" Pro-

Billings, Livingston, Logan and
Helena, and then have the first night s
rest away from his train which his
campaign managers have permitted
him since he started on the tour, re-
naming in Helena all night, and leav-
ing for Spokane early Sunday morn
ing In brief speech to a crowd
of men and women who had arisen an
hour or two before the usual stated
time, Colonel Roosevelt said his op-
ponents had made every charge
against him they could think of, in
Guiding the statement that he wanted
to be king.
Il am accused of wanting to rule
the country with an iron hand" he
said.
Il always inclined to answer that
the people who make this statement
don't know kings or else they would
not put it down as my ambition to be
one. They don't know kings as | do.
Other things | would like to be but
not king The constitutional mon
arch of the present time comes nearer
being a cross between a popular vice
president and leader of the 400 than
else | know"
Mind you, the colonel went on, Il
am not saying anything against the
job of king, but | just wouldn't have
it."
The colonel discussed the enforce

administration and the attitude of the
party toward trusts.
The Amalgamated Copper company

AND VICINITY
LAND DEAL One OF BIGGEST IN
DAYS IN THIS PART OF COUNTRY

One of the largest real estate deal.
of recent years-and one which ma,
mean great development of Santa Ft
as a tourist center, was practically
concluded this morning by the pur
chase subject to title, of the Pecos
land grant from Gross-Kelly and com
pany, by d. G.. Collier and company
of San Diego, California.
For some days it was known that
Colonel d. c, Collier, head of one of
Diego, was in the city ION large busi-
ness interests
With Frank Owen, his local repre-
sentative and Francis G.. Wilson, his
attorney, Mr.. Collier went over the
land grant which comprises some 25
square miles and which extends from
the Valley Ranch to a point below
Harrison's store, in San Miguel
county.
This grant is an old Indian grant
given the Pecos pueblo in 1858. The
Indians moved to Jemez and the title
to the grant in Gross-Kelly and com
pany, of Las Vegas, was deraigned
through the Indians themselves who
decided the land over 80 years ago.
Gross, Kelly and company also have
a tax title and ha vapefypjtflijafiif
the grant for the past Is years.
The grant has some 1000 acres un-
der cultivation and 5000 acres of
grazing lands. 1t is understood that
Colonel Collier intends to build
summer home on the grant and to de-
velop a large portion of the lands
from an agricultural standpoint. Col
onel Collier has a permanent home in
San Diego but as he was born in the
high attitudes of Colorado he yearns
to spend part of the year in oXygeniz-
ed regions of the southwest and he
finds this part of the country the most

longad applause greeted the speaker
4 Colonel Prichard then nominate,
George w. Armijo temporary chair
man, saying he is man with hear
and soul in the progressive cause. Mr.
Armijo was elected unanimously ant
as he took his seat, former Governor
Otero declared it gave him grea
pleasure to introduce "the war horse
of Santa Fe county"
Mr. Armijo followed with a Ions
speech in which he first of all thank
I ed the progressives for turning out
so well at the primaries, especially
in his own precinct, No. 8. He ther
discussed the causes which have lee
tc the formation of the progressive
party and he fayed boss rule in this
county and state He declared that
he had been in the political game with
the old guard and knew whereof he
! spoke. His eulogy of the leader Of
the progressives, "the virile Roose
welt, the geratest man of the civilized
world, the man who has done more
than any other man to raise Amer
lean citizenship to it's high standard,
was received with much applause.
Mr.. Armijo declared that neither Mr..
Wilson nor Mr.. Taft arouses enthu-
siasm by a personality, but that Mr.
Roosevelt is regarded as a popular
hero wherever he goes.
Discussing the election of senators
by popular vote, Mr.. Armijo asked
What had the people to with the
election of the U. S. senators from
New Mexicoo" A voice in the hall
yelled: Nothing and there was pro-
lcnged laughter. When the speaker
mentioned Mr.. ,Roosevelt's visit here,
September IS, and the advisability of
having Mr.. Fall and Mr.. Catron al
a meeting to ask Mr.. Roosevelt ques-
tions, there was more laughter and
some one shouted: They wouldn't
ask Teddy much.'
Colonel George w. Prichard deli
vered an impassioned address in
which he was particularly sarcastic
about the chances of Taft making an
impression at the polls in November,
- venture to predict that Mr.. Taft
will not have a majority in any one
of the 4S states" he declared. Mr.. Ar
MILO interpreted the speech into Span
isb and Bronson M. Cutting was cal
led to the chair to preside over the
convention. David Gonzales, who in
terpreted Mr.. Armijos speech, was

attractive for that purpose. $
The Pecos land grant is of unusual
interest because of the fact that on it
is the famous old Pecos church and
also an Indian pueblo of great anti
guilty. 1t is Colonel Golfers inten-
ton to give both pueblo and church
to the School of American Archaeolo-
gy.
! Only recently Colonel Collier in an
interview voiced the Importance of
making Santa Fe and environs attrac-
tive to tourists and he pointed out
how $4,000 spent by John d. Spreck-
els on Ramona's home, near San Die
go, had drawn thousands and thou
sands of tourists to that point of ro-
mantle interest. Carrying out this
policy. Colonel Collier could accom-
plish wonders for Santa F'e and vicin-
ity, is the expressed opinion of prom
inent Santa Feans who discussed the
purchase of the Pecos grant today.
From sources considered very re-
liable, it is learned today that among
those interested in this big grant
with Mr.. Collier and Mr.. Owen are a
number Of the Wealthiest men on the
Pacific coast, 1t is said the inten-
items of Mr. Collier and his associates
are to build an immense power plant
operated by waterfall on the Pecos
river, to induce wealthy people to
build summer homes on the Pecos
mountains SCENERY is unrival-
led even by the famous Switzerland
hills and in effect to make "millon-
aires summer colony What that
would mean for this city, needs no
comment. 1t is one of the biggest
things that has come to the ancient
village OF Santa Fe in many years.
The fact that wealthy tourists will
ccme here in large numbers, means
that they will follow their visits with
