CHAOS RE|GNS
IN HOUSE

Santa Fe. N. M, April 9-As
the result of the situation in the
house where Speaker Baca now
reigns supreme, his power up
held by a combination of Repub-
licans, Democrats and progress
sives, and by the speakers trusty
gavel, the senatorial situation as
regards an election to fill the va
cancy Of 1918 is more complicat-
ed than at any time since the
senatorial election.
The Andrews men assert that
they have the strength to pre-
vent an election at this session
and that they propose to prevent
it.
For the present there is abso-
ly nothing in sight in the way of
senatorial action. The house OF
representatives is divided against
itself about as badly as it could
be. The situation in that body
is one of absolute chaos not only
as regards the senatorship, but
as regards careful legislation of
any kind.
There is excellent authority
for the statement given out here
last night that nine Republican
members Of the house have
signed an agreement not to enter
a Republican caucus for the pur-
pose of considering a senatorial
election and also pledging them
selves to vote against a joint
session for such an election.

DONA ANA MAN
BREAKS LOOSE

AS a result of the senatorial
fight five weeks have been fid-
died away by the legislature and
practically nothing has been ac-
complished in the way of needed
legislation. The house is all
torn up. The members appar-
entity regard each other with
mutual bitterness and suspicion,
a state OF affairs which does not
promise we'll for the accomplish
ment of needed work, Major
Llewellyn of Dona Ana county
has broken loose, kicked Oft the
harness and refuses to stand
hitched any longer, and there
appears to be others in the same
class. Llewellyn gave an inter-
view to the Herald representa-
tive in which he says:
THE assumption of the So
called Republican organization of
this state to dictate to the Re
publican members of the house
80 far as | am concerned person
ally does not meet with approval.
I represent the constituency who
elected me and I am solely ans
werable to them for my vote and
for my actions, If the organiza-
ton in question were success
full organization there might be
some little excuse for their as
sumption to move Republican
members about as one moves
pawns on a chess board. But
they are not a successful organi-
zation. AS a result of their po-
litical management they have
dragged the Republican party to
the verge of the grave; and they
have dug the grave. They now
want to push us over into it and
bury us. 1t has been said that
none are so blind as those who
won't see. This is an age OF
progress and the methods that
were in vogue even. ten years
ago cannot be successfully used
at this time. This organization
reminds me of the golden calf
described in the Scriptures.
They want Republicans to bow
down and worship. tits a sacred
thing; but am from Joplin
You've got to show me. Their
fiasco in the management of the
alleged bribery of the four
house members is a sample OF
their methods and of their or
ganization. They remind me OF
the time Colonel Roosevelt ran
for Governor of New York. To
impress the voters from rural
districts there accompanied him
as one of his speakers from the
rear of his car one of his soldiers
by the name of Taylor from
Texas. Upon one occasion he
spoke as follows: Men, follow
nv colonel. Vote for him. he
will lead you as he led us, like
sheep to the slaughter at San
Juan HILL That is just what
will happen to us if we follow
this organization. Wen be lee

some of the men now assuming
to run the Republican legislators
through this so-called organiza-
ton were the bitterest opponents
that the party ever had in New
Mexico"
1t certainly is a nasty mess,
and DON t forget that it is all due
to the senatorial fight.

FARM WOMAN'S
DAILY ROUTINE

| I yield not to the temptation
of suggesting to you why the
farm women cannot exert the
Influence they should in the
school, church and social work
of their district, Recently, when
this subject came up for discus
sion before my class studying
Country Life and Problems, 4"
"a young man, in order to make
his point clear, gave a summary
of his mothers daily routine of
work at that season of the year.
1t ran somewhat like this:
/. Rise at 4:30 a. m.
2. Prepare breakfast while
men milk cows.
3. Leave dishes, hurry to the
cellar, strain milk-get cold wa
ter from the distant we'll to chill
milA-carry out the sour sand
skinned milk for pigs, calves
and chickens; wash milk vessels
and carry out to sun"
A. Hurry, feed poultry.
5. Hurry, wash dishes.
6. Hurry, gather vegetables
and fruit for dinner.
7. Prepare the same for table.
s. On certain days churning.
baking, washing and ironing are
done.
9. Feed poultry.
10. Prepare dinner.
II. Wash dishes, feed poultry,
sew or mend, put up" fruit or
vegetables.
IL. Get supper, wash dishes,
look after poultry and milk, work
in the garden.
13. Scrub kitchen on certain
evenings after the family have
retired, to prevent tracking the
floor
IA. Retire at 10 p. m.
This program, you notice, takes
no account of her work with the
younger children. Often the
farm woman must supply the
wood-box or coal hod, bring in
the water from the distant well,
milk the COWS and spade the
garden. That the average Amer
lean farm is over burdened with
physical labors, and that her
complex duties of mother and
housekeeper are carried on un-
der inexcusably hard conditions
as compared with those that OBJ
tain on the farm, must be charg-
ed to traditional habits of
thought; yet the effect on the
home and community life is a
large factor in producing the
very conditions from which so
large a percentage of country
people seek to escape by moving
to towns.
The life history of too many
farm women and the relation of
their industrial status to their
social life is pretty well told in
the few lines l shall quote from
Hamlin Garland:
/" Born and scrubbed, suffered and
died.
That's all you need to say, elder,
Never mind sayin' made bride,
Nor when her hair got gray.
Jes' say, born an worked t DEATH
That fits it-save y'r breath.

GIRL REVEALS MURDERS
Statement Tells of Three
Crimes Committed in Suburb
of Chicago.

CHICAGO, September 6.-Revival of ru-
mors that a number of murders have
been committed during the last year in
came after the arrest of Ethel Ford.
twenty years old. as an accessory before
the fact in connection with the death of
John Messmaker August Is last.
The girl made a statement to Coroner
Hoffman and Assistant County Attorney
johnson which covered eighty-flve type
written pages, and it is said to deal with
vice conditions in West Hammond and
to include charges that at least three
murders were committed in resorts Of the
village during the last year.
Messmaker, it is said. was drugged and
a hypodermic injection of poison was also
given him shortly before he died. The
girl admitted being with him before his
death. Her arrest was made on COM
plant of Miss Virginia Brooks, who has
been leading an anti-vice crusade in West
Hammond.
Coroner Hoffman expects a report Sat-
urday from a chemist on the examina-
ton of the vital organs of Messmaker.
IF poison is found in Messmaker's s
body. l shall take UP with the coroner
of Lake county, Ind, the subject of a
number of other West Hammond Deaths -
said Coroner Hoffman.
The Ford girl was said to be recovering
from her nervous breakdown today. Lack
of morphine. to which the girl is said
to be addicted, is believed to have con-
tributed to her breakdown.
Coroner Hoffman ordered deputies today
to seek information which would SUBJ
stantiate the allegations made by the
Ford girl. who was an inmate Of the re-
sort owned by Henry Foss, in whose place
Henry Messmaker, the alleged victim of
poison, died.

ANTITOXIN FOR MEASLES.
Report on Inhoculation of Monkeys
Awaited With Interest.

Physicians throughout the country are
looking forward with great interest to a
report on the innoculation of monkeys
with measles which is to be delivered by
DIR. John F. Anderson and Dr. Joseph
Goldberg of the United States public
health service at the fifteenth Interna-
tional Congress on Hygiene and Demog-
raphy in this city September 3
The innoculating of the monkeys was
carried on recently at the hygienc lab
oratory. In the course of their re-
searches the physicians made discoveries
which promise to make measles less gen.
eral
The Investigators found that measles
are rot carried, as has been supposed. by
the dry particles of skin which brush off
the body of patient. but that the germs
are conveyed in the breath, secretions
from the nose and mouth and in the
blood.
The germ was found to be so minute
that it passed through the pores of a
porcelain filter. The inability of scien-
lists to innoculate lower animals with
measles has retarded the work of dis
covering an antitoxin.

FUNDS TO FERRET FRAUD
Call for Money to Probe South
Carolina Elections
Bears Fruit.

COLUMBIA, S. c.. September 6.-The
call of John Gary Evans, chairman of
the state democratic executive commit
tee, for funds to conduct the investiga-
ton of alleged election frauds is bearing
fruit. The call was not made until yes
terday, but the fund is already substan-
tial and it is believed 1t soon will be-
come large enough to execute the entire
investigation.
Some of the late information of fraud
in the election is surprising. Coun-
ties where no rumors of corruption had
escaped, now are reporting specific in
stances. Darlington and Greenwood
counties are the latest to unearth scan
dals. In Greenwood county one of the
boxes had twenty-four more votes in ii
than there were names on the registra-
ton list, another box had eighteen and
still another ten more than lawful
In Darlington it was found that fifty
eight names appeared on the list in the
voting precincts that were not on the
registration list and that in many in
stances one man was allowed to vote
more than once.

NEW DETECTIVE STORY.
Begins Serial Publication in Our
Sunday Magazine.

Who wouldn't sit up nights to read a
slashing good detective story? Nobody
knows this liking of practically every
body better than our Sunday Magazine,
and so it is constantly on the watch for
one good enough to honor it's columns.
Not often does such one appear on the
market; but lately one has. and so we
are taking a huge joy in beginning 1t in
our next number. And it is by that
sterling and we'll known author. Gordon
Holmes, who achieved fame through such
works as a Mysterious Disappearance. =
1.-The De Borcy Affair" ''The Late Ten
ant and lot more popular detective
and mystery fiction. His latest Is entitled
No Other Way"
We are not exaggerating when we
boast that this Is just about the best
story that ever came from Mr.. Holmes
pen. And then 1T is all American, with
American characters and the places of
action Newport, Providence, Palm Beach,
Atlantic City and other nearby places.
The story opens with Claude G. Waver-
tons wife, Doris, insisting that the di-
vorce proceedings go on, Notwithstanding
that her husband had just been in a Sc
rious automobile accident; and then,
strangely, when Waverton recovered, he
seemed to have lost his old riotous ways
and to have become a sober, respectable
citizen
Thereawas something mysterious about
the complete transformation of the man
which his friends couldn't understand
(this, by the way, is the crux of the
story. and makes dandy puzzle rum
ming all through it,. Also. strangely, one
of the first acts upon his return to the
north was Wavertons sudden rescue of
his own child from drowning. And then
the husband of a woman with whom he
had been unduly friendly was discovered
poisoned in a derelict boat. This brought
the detectives into the case with ven
geance-two as human, interesting and
keen sleuths as ever graced the pages of
fact or fiction. This tale will run through
ten issues. accompanied by pictures from
the brush of Howard Giles, one Of the
prominent American illustrators.
