NO MORE OPPOSITION.
State Official Will be Guided by At
torney-Generals Decision on Con-
stiiutiOnal Point.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 4.-No fur
ther opposition to the compromise OF
tax claims between the Commonwealth
Of Virginia and the Richmond, Fred
ericksburg and Potomac Railroad Co.,
will be advanced by State Auditor c.
Lee Moore. It may be safely stated
that if the money is rendered to him
in settlement of claims of the state
he will accept it.
The opposition Of the auditor has
been regarded as a serious imepdi-
ment in the way of final adjustment
of this long-standing dispute over
taxes. A special commission repre-
asenting the state and committee
from the board of directors of the
road finally agreed upon basis of
compromise. The auditor, however,
took the position that the act Great
ing the special commission was in
violation Of the constitutional that it
permitted a reduction Of claim for
money due the state.
Guided by Acknowledgement.
He now agrees, however, to be
guided by the opinion of the Attorney
General on this point. and to make no
further protest. There is little doubt
what opinion Of the Attorney-Gen-
eral will be, since he attended the
so@f2rcaco SIS 70 ?agai representative
Of the state, and has consistently
agreed to the proceedings. Further,
in conversation he has indicated to
Auditor Moore his belief that the
act in question is in accorc with the
constitution.

RUM0RED FALL Of
CITY Of SCUTAR|
King Nicholas and General
Martinovich in Charge
of Operations.
GREEKS ALSO IN FRAY.
Bombardment of Adrianople is Re-
Sumed - Unconfirmed Dispatches
Say City is Now in Flames.

Constantinople, Feb. 4.-The forti-
fled city of Scutari was captured to,
day by the Montenegrin forces un.
der personal comand of King Mich
olas, according to an official report
received here.
The capture is feather in the cap
Of Montenegro. Under personal COM
mand Of King Nicholas, with General
Martinovitch in charge of field op-
tions, of the city, is said to have fallen
under heavy bombardment.
When the Balkan war began the
Montenegrin army invaded northern
Albania and after capturing few
unimportant villages, settled down to
beleaguer, Scutar. Essad Pasha was
the commander of the Turkish defend
ers. @
Scutari has sabout 10000 inhabit-
ants and is the capital of the vilayet
of Scutari. 1t is situated near the
southeastern extremity Of the lake of
Scutari, from which the nayigable
river Bojan flows into the Adriatic.
It's industries are shipbuilding and
textile weaving. The fortifcations
are on high hill.
The Montenegrins began new at
tack on Scutari at the same time that
the Bulgarians renewed their bonn
bardment of Adrianople. At the same
t:ine the Greeks, under command Of
Crown Prince Constantine, made
demonstration before Janina.
The Bulgarians today continued the
bombardment of the Adrianople for
tifcations which they resumed on the
stroke Of 7 o'clock last night, when
the protocol of armistice officially ex-
pired. According to meagre dispatch
es that filtered into Constantinople
from Mustapha -Pasha sounds of hea-
Wy cannonading from the direction of
the besiegcd Holy City could be heard
shortly before dawn and was continu-
Gus up to noon.
There was no information that the
firing of the besiegers was having
any serious effect and it was the
belief here that allies were not as
near to capturing the city as they
were when the protocol was signed
two months ago.
Sofia, Bulgaria, Feb. 4.-Some
quarters of Adrianople are in flames
as the result of the bombardment by
Bulgarians and Servians, which was
resumed with even more intensity
this morning, according to advices
received from the front.

Two Meetings Of Imno,tance

santa Fe, n NJ. Feb. 4.-Two meet
lngs Of more than ordinary import
ance are scheduled to take place
while the present session OF the leg
Stature is at work.
The first meeting is that of the
leads of all state institutions which
will assemble ON February Z. This
meeting was called by the superin-
-endent Of public instruction, Alvan
n. White, on the suggestion OF the
gathering will bring out more in
formation about the needs of the
STATE institutions than anything in
recent years, which may result in the
recommendation by the executive Of
some additional legislation.
The other meeting is that of the
board OF equalization, scheduled to
meet here On Friday, February A.
As has been stated in the public
press for the past year, the most i'm
DOrtant matter confronting New
Mexico is taxation and it is believ-
I'd & number of difficult questions
If taxation will come before the
board at that time and that they
will be given an airing which may
serve to enlighten the members of
the Legislature on some of the cry
ing needs of the hour in the new
STATE.
Both of these meetings are looked
5orward TO, with more than usual
inter- s-l by the state officials and
some OF the people OF the state who
will have business before them.

An Improved Air LIT Pump

Mr.. r. L. Schurtz, formerly a res
ident here. is in Alamogordo on a
visit to his parents. and may con-
clude to remain for some time.
Mr.. Schurtz has taken the agen-
cy for a new type of air lift pump
which he claims is adapted to some
of the wells In this vicinity that
are pumped for irrigation.
The advantage claimed for the
improved air lift is reasonable first
cost. simplicity OF operation and
economy. The air pump has nc
valves, no moving parts, no wear
and consequently no repairs OF
breakdowns. All Of the machinery
with the exception OF the water and
air pipes are housed on top OF the
ground. While the old style OF ali
lift pumps show n very low efficien
cy Il is claimed that the new pumI
shows an efficiency that will com
pare with any other class of pumps
Mr.. Schurtz thinks that he will
have one Installed in the vicinity o.
Alamogordo in a short time wheT
the claims of the company can b
proved.
