BACON INTRODUCES
RESOLUTION ON
INTERVENTION

Washington, D. c., May Senator
Bacon, chairman of the foreign re-
laticns committee, re-introduced his
bill today defining the authority OF the
pl esident for Intervention in CUBA
which prescribes that any Intervention
in future shall be to sustain the au-
thorites in Cuba, rather than for the
purpose of displacing them.
II don't wish to have the introduc-
tion of the bill at this time, said
Senator Bacon, "and arouse any idea
that there is now anything in Cuba
calling for intervention. There is
nothing to cause trouble, but we never
know when conditions calling for in
tervention night arise. For that rea-
sen, it is important that we prescribe
the method of Intervention and the
conditions that might warrant it..

FATE OF ALASKA UP
TO CONGRESS SAYS
WALTER L. FISHER

Washington, D. c., May 7.--"Respon'
siblity for the condition of Alaska
rests squarely on the shoulders OF con
gress and no place else declared TO-
mer Secretary of the Interior W. L.
Fisher today, before the senate terri
tt ries committee.
"The necessity for legislation to
open up the territory has been pointed
out time after time" continued MI.
Fisher, ''but nothing whatever has
been done.
ut seems to me- he said that no
ca ndid student of the situation IN
Alaska, who is at all free from person
a. and pecuniary interest, can nave
Tie slightest doubt of the propriety or
the federal government constructing
one or more railroads in Alaska to
open up that territory
Mr.. Fisher declares himself in favor
OF government operation of the roads,
al least as an experiment. He said
that government operation of the rail
road in Panama had proved successful
and reviewed his advocacy OF his plan
to utilize much equipment that will not
be needed at Panama after the canal
i; completed.
"Theer can be no development OF
Alaska" he concluded, "unless the
government constructs a railroad from
T:dewater to the interior. Private in
terests might build as far as the coal
fields or the copper mines, but no fur
ther.
The high interest rates that prl
Mte parties would have to pay to Dor
row money to construct a road, added
Mr.. Fisher, would prevent private con
struction.'

Then the subject of fire alarms was
taken UP and thoroughly discussed.
Some of the members declared that
the fire bell was not the most modern
device to summon the volunteers to
the hose wagon. Fire Chief Owen was
instructed to install whistle on his
water and light works. When fire is
discovered the finder will phone to cen
tray saying:
Hello central, give me the fire
whistle Then the alarm will be
sounded and another phone will be
sent to the fire station telling where
the fire is.
The whistle will give one long

and so on. This will enable everyone

The fire whistle idea was the sugges'
ton of City Marshal Armijo who point

cellent one. The councilmen lost nc
time in adopting it.

Denver Colo, May 7.-Sheriff Dan

he would "go the limit in prosecut
ing all parties CONNECTED with the at
tack made on him last night, when a
mob rescued Rose Hart after the sher-
iff had arrested her as witness be-
fore the grand jury Alexander Ros-
81, accused by the sheriff, of being
the leader OF Denvers blackhand
gang, is in the county jail, charged
with resisting an officer, and sheriff $
deputies are seeking others connect
ed with the assault.
Chief of Police Felix O'Neill today
admitted that he had reprimanded
the driver of the police patrol wagon
because he obeyed the sheriti's order
and took Rossi to the county Jail.
81 didn't dismiss him." the chief eX-
plained. Il reprimanded him. how
ever, BECAUSE he has no business tax
ing anybody to the county jail. Sulll-
van had no right to arrest that wom-
an without a warrant, and when she
came to the police station and eX-
plained the situation, | released her,
of course.
"If | had been on the scene, !
should have arrested Sullivan himself
and thrown him in jail
81 wish he'd been there, then, OBJ
served Sheriff Sullivan, grimly, when
| this statement was repeated to him,
"We fought there on that corner,
right in the heart of the business dis
1 trict. for forty-five minutes before a
/ policeman came in sight" added Sui
liyan. Il cannot state from my own
knowledge that there was delay in
sending the patrol wagon after 1t was
called, but Fire Warden Morford who
sent in the call, tells me the patrol
wagon was a long time coming.
81 had a warrant for arresting Rose
! Hart. and | have perfect right to
make an arrest without warrant,
ANYWAY. If can find this Hart wom-
an. | will get her before the grand
! jury yet"
! Sheriff Sullivan was attacked by a
number of persons, including Rossi
and Jack Hart, when he attempted to
arrest Rose Hart, who was wanted as
witness to testify before the grand
iury regarding allese4 police graft in
! the tenderloin. The woman was re-
leased and Sheriff Sullivan was bad
ly beaten up with brass knucks be-
fore he succeeded in getting Rossi in
to the patrol wagon.
1 The feud between the sheriff and
police department first came to the
surface two weeks ago, when Sull-
van testified before the grand jury
that police officers were accepting
money from women of the under
/ world.
Mayor Henry j. Arnold today said
| O'Neill was right in reprimandlng the
patrol wagon driver, as that officer

The above are the salient features Of
the city council which helL three
hour session at the county court house
last night, and grappled with some OF
the problems which face Santa Fe ana
the city's development.
Every member Of the council was
present, Mayor Celso Lopez, presiding.
Paving.
Much interest was manifested in the
paving ordinances, and the council
eagerly approved the petition to pave
the east and west sides of the plaza,
making them like the south side. 1t
was decided to give the contract for
the brick to the penitentiary and nave
the work done by convicts. The paw
ing will be done as soon as Warden
McManus can get his men on the job.
A "JokW' Found.
When the petition of the residents OF
Hon Gaspar avenue was read, II was
thought that it, too would go through
swimmingly,' but Joker was dis
covered. The mayor arose and said
that he had not read the petition care
fully before coming to the council ana
only then had he discovered the clause
requiring the city,.@ pa. .s%alf VI the ex-
pense of the paving.
WHO put that in, I wonder?' said
several councilmen in a chorus. There
was laughter and then motion was

have to have an ordinance requiring
the avenue to be paved, suppose
said the mayor 1t will come up at
the next meeting of the council, fort
night hence, when the paving OF Pal
ave avenue will also be discussed.
The council discussed the matter OF
installing more hydrants, and Frank
owen appeared before the solons say
ing that it would be pleasure to in
stall hydrants say every 500 feet, but
that he thought every 300 feet would
be hardship and an unnecessary one.
The council asked that hydrant be
placed in front of Mr. Yontzs house on
Don Gaspar avenue to add protection
to that part of the avenue. A com
n:ittee will consult with Mr.. Owen this
afternoon on further action in regard
to hydrants.

any one looking in on this school
while in operation and being ig-
norant of it's character and sup
port, would at once conclude from
the garb worn by the teachers
that it is Roman Catholic insti-
tuition.
If the female teachers in the
public schools are to be permitted
to wear UNCONVENTIONAL uniforms,
then the male teachers ought to
be allowed to array themselves in
base ball togerry, or the insignia
of the Knights of Pythias, or the
aprons and jewels of the Free and
Accepted Masons.

Not a Freak Bill

The able and eminent CORES
pondents who are reporting for
the newspapers the proceedings
of the legislature, are guilty of one
act of omission which is not fair.
They denounce as freak the bill
passed by the house relating to
mot regulating, as they allege)
the garb worn by teachers in the
public schools. Their omission
consists in not stating the exact
requirements of the bill and the
moving cause for its introduction,
The bill had its origin in the
fact that a public school in St.
Augustine, which is really a Ro-
man Catholic school and is sup
ported by the state and county as
q public school, is taught by Sis.
ters of the Catholic church who
wear the uniform of that church.
The bill simply prohibits the wear
ing by teachers in the public
schools of any UNCONVENTIONAL
uniforms, whether Roman Catho-
lie or Protestant. The teachers
may wear any habiliments they
wish. so long as they are not the
prescribed livery of some religi-
Gus denomination. No special ap-
parel is prescribed.
The bill is right. If the /, st.
Augustine school is maintained
from the public funds as is alleged,
then the state has the right to pro-
hibit it from being made to appear
and to be conducted as a denomi-
