new mex. CENTRAL
IS REPORTED
SOLD
HOWEVER JUDGE COLLINS, SPECIAL
MASTER SAYS SALE HAS NOT
Been OFFICIALLY MADE NOR HAS
DATE Been SET As YET-RUMORS
may PRESAGE DEAL HOWEVER.
PROPOSED EXTENSIONS
GULF TO NORTHWEST

| The New Mexico Central has been
! sold, according to Col. w. S. Hopewell
in last nights Albuquerque paper
but Judge l.. C. Collins, special master
through whom the sale must be made
says that the road has not been sold
nor has the date of the sale even
been set. The Pittsburg Trust COM
pany, which is trustee for the bond
holders of the road, is saddled with
the responsibility for fixing the date
of sale, and to date Judge Collins
says the company has not notified him
of the date of the sale. which must
be preceded by 30 days advertising
of the proposed sale.
The probable explanation of the
Albuquerque report is that Mr. Hope
wells associates may be dickering
with the bondholders direct, with the
intention of taking over the road after
the bond holders take it over. 1t is
also admitted that the bond holders
could probably afford to pay more for
the road than anyone else to pro-
tect the investment of $3.500,00O
which they already have in the road.
and they also could probably outbid
auy one else, since the conditions of
sale provide that the referee shall
receive the outstanding bonds of the
company in payment of the purchase
price of the road, if the buyer so de-
sires. However, there is one stipula-
tion, that is, that $150,00O in cash
must be deposited with the special
master by the purchasers and this
has to be put up whether the bond
holders buy the road or anyone else.
There seems to be no doubt of the
fact that there is some move being
in railroad activity in
New Mexico and that it concerns the
New Mexico Central also seems GER
tain. The albuquerque report was as
follows:
"1'hat Messrs. H. Green, capitalist,
and ]. H. Flick. engineer of the Flick
company of Chicago, !
a syndicate which has
bought the New Mexico Central and
will build a line from Albuquerque

NITELY TO-DAY.
WILSON ORDERS
VIGOROUS PROSECUTION

Washington, d. c., June 25.-Presi
dent Wilson and Attorney General Nc
Reynolds had an early conference to
day to select a special prosecutor fol
the Caminetti-Diggs white slave cases
and the Western Fuel company in
dictments in the federal courts il
San Francisco. 1t was said that al
the end of the day.
With the wheels of the department
of justice grinding on the celebrated
cases, administration officials made
no effort to conceal their relief. Off
cial Washington reflected that feel
ing. Probably no issue with which
President Wilson has had to deal
since his Inauguration has attracted
such widespread attention The atti
tude of White House officials today in
declining to comment on the later de-
alterations of the federal grand jury
in San Francisco and the attack of
former U. S. Attorney McNab on U.
S. Attorney McReynolds, was that
the action of the president and the
attorney general in ordering the cases
to trial speaks for itself.
1t was the official view that what
ever Mr.. McReynolds' cllrsory view
of the situation, was, when he ordered
postponement, his action was free
from any unworthy motives" and it
was pointed out that the correspond
ence made public at the White House
last. night shows that the attorney
general himself had reversed his po-
sition and been approved by the
president.
President Wilson's attitude today
was said at the White House to be
that the selection of capable counsel
to carry the cases to trial was suffi-
cient demonstration of the sincere
wish of the administration to have a
vigorous prosecution. -
II l. President Wilson's intention to
get Francis J. Heney to take the cases
If possible. He is regarded as being
especially desirable because he has
no politi. al interests with the admin
istration. M. J. Sullivan and Thomas
Hayden also are under consideration
and Representatives Kent and Raker
have been mentioned as possible selec-
tions.
Secretary Lane personal friend
of Heney's has been selected to per
suade Heney to undertake the work.
After the selection of prosecutor /
and McNabs resignation the White |
House will consider the cases a |
closed incident.
Representative Kahn, of California
today declared that President Wilson's
action in directing immediate cons'd
Grafton of the cases would not deter
him from pressing his resolutions for
u congressional investigation c. the
of the delay. The Kahn lesoln-
tons are scheduled 10 come UP tomor-
row at hearing before the house jul
dietary committee.

AMERICAN POTATO
NEEDS IMP ROWING
FEDERAL BUREAU FINDS THAT
EUROPEANS ARE RAISING
BETTER GRADE OF SPUDS.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 12.-"Devei-
cpment of improved potato varieties
IN the United States has not kept up
with the progress made in leading
European countries, declares a bulletin
just issued by the bureau Of plant in
dustry at the department of agricul-
ture In this country there is great
room for breeding a potato with a
greater starch content because Ameri-
can varieties are lower than the Ger
man potato by from four to eight per
cent.
Climatic conditions, the bulletin says
are so diversified in this country that
special varieties of potatoes should be
developed that will thrive in special
localities. A heat resisting strain par
tlcularly is advocated tC resist the high
summer temperatures,
Disease resistance is another quality
that should be developed 1t is so
lacking in American potatoes that it is
a quarantine against foreign types that
might introduce disease. Government,
state and private inspection is advo-
Gated to obtain disease free seed in
this country.

tularius, less elegantly but more Ia
miliarly known as the bedbug is still

the transmission uf tuberculosis, ac-
cording to DR.. J. Walling Beveridge,
who las presented paper on the sub

sanitation which is icing held in this
city. He said that it was only resent

Gus consideration as a carrier of germs
but that lately a number OF author
tiles were agreeing upon the possibil-
jty that leprosy and sI inal meningitis
germs were carried by this household
pest and that numerous causes had
recently been cited where tuberculosis
had been caused by the bedbug
1t has been discovered that the bug
is able to live 229 days without food,

for the future meat supply of the coun-
try is held out in the annual report OF
Henry S. Graves, chief of the United

forests under his supervision furnish
abundant forage supplies, opportunity
for the adoption Of the best method
and freedom from live stock diseases.
The forage resources of the national
forests the report continues, contrib.
ute to the maintenance of more than
twenty million head of live stock. The
receipts from grazing, while second
to those from timbering. last year
were more than $1,000,O00 and showed
an increase over the previous year.
Over four per cent more stock was
srazed because of increased forage
facilities.
