MYSTERIOUS
O|SAPPEARANCES

Oflate there have been mum
ber of mysterious disappearance
of chicken, freshly butchereC
meat, and some game. from var
ious premises in town, and it was
believed that some two legged
animal or animals were concerned
in the disappearance. Friday
night three-fourths Of a freshly
butchered hog disappeared from
a shed in the rear of the hotel
building occupied by Mr.. Cain.
This led to the conclusion that
something must be done to clear
up the mystery.
Accordingly search warrant
was sworn out and a number of
places were searched, but moth
ing was found.
About the same time a partial
ly eaten ham was found on Ber
ry Hues woodpile, which gave
evidence of having been in the
possession of dogs. and it is now
believed possible that some of
the depredations were committed
by dogs, of which the town has
a large surplus.
Some chickens from coeps it is
believed must have been taken
by human thieves.
The meat taken from Mr..
Gains place was in a box on 3
shelf six or seven feet from the
floor, and the box was found
right side up on the floor. 1t is
possible, perhaps, that this could
have been done by dogs, but
doesn't seem at all probable.
No doubt some people will pro
ceed to get their artillery ready
for night providers, and this may
result in somebody getting hurt

CLUB FEDERATION
MEETING

AAS SoahCy LSAOL oClOlA VI w
3 mems Clubs was most delight
! fully entertained by the Woman'l
Club of Willard on Tuesday
! October 21st, at the pretty home
! of Mrs. Wilbur Dunlavy.
Fifteen ladies from Estancis
and eight from Mountainair,
were present. They drove to
Willard, arriving about IL o. clock.
At one O'Clock the ladies were
invited to the dining room where
a delicious four course luncheon
was served. There were three
tables beautifully decorated with
cut flowers, and places for thirty
guests. Between courses the
guests answered conundrums
which they found on their place
cards. This caused much merri-
ment especially as most of the
answers were wrong One quo
tation was: What man never
speaks hastily to his wife?" Some
said, mo man, and some said,
"a dead man," but most of them
said "a deaf and dumb man +"
Mrs. Hedding said, my hus.
band" However, none of these
answers were correct, the answer
being, "a man who suffers"
The ladies politely refrained from
asking Mrs. H if the doctor
shutters.
After luncheon a short business
session was held, and then the
program for the day was rem
dered. Some of the numbers on
the program were missing but
these were delightfully."- filled
with music by Mrs. Stanton and
Mrs. Humphreys of Willard and
Mrs. Senter of Estancia. A while
was spent in jolly intercourse
and all too soon the hour for de
parture came.
A very hearty vote of thanks
was given to the Willard ladies,
but all felt that it was an
inadequate expression Of their
appreciation of the hospitality
shewn. They were all pro-
nounced perfect hostesses, and
oow the Estancia women, whose
urn comes next, are wondering
f they can in any way equal
hem.
The visiting ladies were, Mes '
lanes Mason, Stubblefield. Kel-
y, Williams, Jenson, WiedeRand-
'rs, Pickens, Grimmell, Olive,
Young, Kemp, Garnett, Roberts,
,enter and Miss Parkell of Es-
ancia; and Mesdames, Corbett,

governor to appoint Mrs. R. E
farley as a member of the Wo- I

DISTRICT FORESTER
ON ROAD MAKING

/ Ringland has issued a statemen
t in regard to the Forest Service,
= road building policy designed tt
: correct certain impressions o1
: the scope and character of thai
work which he says has arisen.
Published statements of the
amount of money available for
roads and trails on National For.
ests, said Mr.. Ringland, have
!, stimulated public intyrest in the
subject, particularly in commu-
mites on or near Forests. The
natural effect on the reader of a
statement that we have money
to put into roads is for him at
once to think of some road near
his home that needs repair and
to wonder if he and his friends
can't get some of the Forest road
fund for the purpose. That's
only natural.
But we have to expend this
money under certain restrictions
and it is obvious, too, that the
amount we have is not enough to
do all the road work needed in
the district at once. We've got
to put the money we have where
the law prescribes and where it
will do the most good. l want
to outline the policy we use and
the limitations that affect us in
doing this work, for the benefit
of anyone who is not entirely
clear on the subject.
The amounts earned during the
past fiscal year for expenditure
under the road and trail item are
$26, 900 for Arizona and $12, 900
for New Mexico. The fund is
cumulative; that is, if the entire
amount earned during any given
year, it goes over as available
until used.
The law specifically states
that the fund shall be used for
the construction and repair of
roads in the Forest within the
state from which the fund is de
rived. In allotting funds the
Forests within the state have
been considered as a unit, and
certain districts within this unit
have been considered as more
important and needing more
funds than others. Since good
road construction needs ample
funds it would not be practica-
BILE to distribute small sums to
every Forest or every ranger dis
trict and derive permanent re
suits. The fund is assured year
ly, through increasing receipts,
and it is therefore planned to re
pair and construct first the more
roads and in time
reach roads in every Forest.
The roads worked on last year
we're those that seemed to us the
most important projects. 1t has ,
been found that road work or re
pair amounts to about $500 per
nile. Once a road is started it
must be put in shape to avoid
heavy repairs in the future. So
that most all of last years pro
iects will need additional funds
his year to complete them or to .
put the road in shape to prevent
future damage. s
In New Mexico work has been
started on the Red River road.

oanola- Cuba project on the Je- i

elsewhere has ever made any PROPOSE
ton or suggestion TO me which
smacked in the least degree of cor
ruption. Representatives Of organized
labor have been most insistent in their
demands. but, as I think, with no in
tention OF using improper methods.
The two matters which have
seemed 10 me TO require the most
careful scrutiny have been the con-

essentials for his plant would cost

Senator Chiffon said that a certain
manufacturer employing seventy-five
Republicans had declared 10 him that
the Underwood bill would cripple his

WALDO UNFIT, SAYS CURRAN
REPORT, URGING REMOVAL

The first section Of the final report Of
the Curran aldermanic committee call
ing upon Mayor Gaynor TO remove Police
Commissioner Waldo went through the
committee yesterday by the narrow mar
yin Of TO 3. with two members not vot-
ing.
Tammany aldermen. led by Frank
bowling and assisted by Aldermen
Downing and Shipley, of the fusion
forces succeeded in getting an amend
ment tackled to the motion for the adop-
ton of the first section of the report
which calls for the future consideration
Of all Eve sections of the report.
The first section. adopted yesterday
deals solely with the administration OF
Commissioner Waldo and ends with this
single recommendation:
Public interest requires the immediate
removal Of Commissioner Waldo. We
recommend that the Board Of Aldermen
request the Mayor 10 relieve the city Of
New Yorg from a Police Commissioner

shown himself unfit to occupy his ONCE
II had been suggested previously that
the committees report would recommend
that Governor Sulzer be called upon 10
remove Waldo, but the aldermen finally
decided that 10 be consistent in their
policy Of home rule for the Police Depart
mcnt they would put the matter up 10
the Mayor first and give him the chance
20 act upon 1t before attempting TO put II
before the Governor.

Convinced Waldo Is Unfit.

I'VE have become convinced that the
present Police Commissioner, Rhinelander
Waldo. is incompetent and unfit TO per
form the duties OF his Office. Many OF the
existing evils OF the department can be
directly traced to his inef1ciency and ad-
ministrative blunders.
The evidence before US which will be
discussed in detail in later sections Of this
report shows conclusively his incapacity
10 administer the department, in that
81. He has failed to exercise his powers
or TO employ the means at his command
10 prevent a, widespread system OF black
mail and extortion by certain of his su-
bordinates
20 He has permitted TO be given to the
very men accused for their own informa-
ton. letters charging them with graft.
without making independent investigation.
No better protection could well be afford
ed criminal policemen than the privilege
OF administration
20 He has refused 10 heed repeated
warnings AGAINST personally selected SUI
oordlnat"s who were at the time betray-
ing him and the city.

swer TO the ninth charge will be that
all pensions are mandatory, and he
couldn't get rid of some undesirables
except by retiring them with pensions.
He v.ill dc the truth OF the tenth
charge, that he has seriously impaired
the efficiency Of the detective bureau.
and will say that he has made fewer
changes than any other Commissioner.
that special squads re undesirable in
A city as large as New York, that the
morning lineup" of prisoners was
never Of any real service, that no
Rogues' Gallery photographs which
had any d., police value were de-
stroyed. and that he has esta blished
a system of daily reports by detec-
tives.
Stanton's Case Coincidence"
The case Of Lieutenant John F. Stan
ton, cited i'm the eleventh charge, will
be dismissed by Waldo with the re-
Spouse that it was merely a colnci-
dcnce that charges and dismissal in
StdntonS case came so soon after
stanton testified before the aldermanic
committee.
The case of Patrolman Milky, cited
in the same charge. will he put up 10
recommendation for dismissal said
10 have been de by Fourth Deputy
commissioner Dillon.
As 10 the twelfth charge, that Waldo
obstructed md hampered the alder
manic investigators. his friend de-
clared that the Commissioner would
pay no attention to T., but would stand
on his previous assertion that he was
ready to give the Curran probers any
thing they subp9naed.
Neither the Commissioner nor any of
his friends advanced any response TO
the alderr- anic committees point that

Abundantly Cautious.

Senator Bacon, who followed Senator
Ashurst. said that 'out OF an album
dance Of caution" he wanted to tell the
committee that he owned n small farm
in Georgia on which some articles
might he raised that were affected by
the tariff.
In more serious vein Senator Bacon
said:
Il have seen very much less effort
To influence legislation in this bill than
in previous ones. II does not compare
with the consideration OF the Payne
Aldrch bill in that respect"
Senator Bacon knew OF no recoK.
nized lobbyists" giving dinners or So
two sugar organizations" in Wash
ington--one for free sugar and the
other against 1t.
Senators Borah, Bradley and Bran
degee in turn denied knowledge OF i'm
proper influence. Senator Bristow
gave list of nearly dozen men who
called on him, among them F.. c..
Lowry, an employe OF the Federal
Sugar Company. who saw him in favor
of free sugar, and n. c. Oxnard. also
Of New York, who saw him in favor OF
a tariff on sugar.
II think these men are all clean
minded and really believe in their
case said the Senator.
Senator Bristow knew OF no unlawfu,
use of money. but supposed it was be-
ing 'legitimately used" to pay for ad-
vertising and printed matter.
Senator Burton gave a list OF those
who had talked with him. One Of
them was so retiring he was known
only as John Doe, OF New Jersey.
Senator Burton said he believed
there were fewer Legislative agents"
or representatives here than during
previous tariff sessions. He declared
improper influences we're exerted nv
bombardng Senators with inspired
kilograms" rather than by interviews
Senator Burton read a statement In
which he said:
In more than twenty years mem
bership IN The House and Senate no
