Protests Against Revising The Star

Protest has been promptly and
properly made by "The Star-Spa igled

Baltimore against the revised version
which has been made by Miss Hen

school children of the city are being
trained, and which is TO be offered to
the public as substitute.
II is true that the music is not
very easy to sing, the compass being
somewhat large for the average I'M
trained voice, but it ought not to be
tempered with frivolously, nor should
Keys words be rewritten because
some phrases seen too wsrliKe after

piece to sing, but band can play il

ENDORSES THE NAVAL HOLIDAY"
Representative HensieY Addresses The
House To That Effect.

II speech in the House this week
Representative Hensley, Of Mis-
souri,, a member of the Naval Com
mittee, indorsed the proposal of
Winston Churchill, First Lord of
the British Admiralty, that the Pow
ers enter an agreement TO cease
naval construction for a year
Mr. Hensley voiced the opinion that
in advocating a naval holiday he
was opening himself to criticism by
influences which he said are behind
the armament movement.
But let us seize this golden op.
pjrtuDity, h. said, to bring about
the greatest reform of the age and
discharge a duty to our people and
Christian service tc mankind.
1t means the death knell to reckless,
wanton and almost criminal waste
of the peoples money in the way OF
big naval appropriations"

SECRETARY DANIELS
CORRECTS IMPRESSION
Says He Has Not Backed Down
Nor Compromised in Adapt
ability" Policy.
FILLED ADDITIONAL VACANCIES.
If Available" Counted Men on List
Would be Way Up.

Secretary Daniels desires TO have
il known that he has not backed
down" nor compromised" Ia his
policy against the "adaptability" Of
candidat Is for admission TO the Navy
or the Marine Corps.
"Tbe papers have said" says the
Secretary of the Navy, "that there
had been compromise on the second
lieutt nsnts in the Marine Corps.
The facts are that there were sixteen
vacancies. ! sent in fourteen nam IS
of those who had passed the best ex-
animation. eliminating all considera-
tion of the so-called availability or
probable efficiency, and sent the n
in sol ely as they showed that they
had passed the best Examination.
"Of the two other vacancies, ]
held up one for young man who
would not be CT age until November
Is and who had passed high up on the
let. Two young men had tied or
sixteenh place and as there was only
one place left, held them up. Since
that time there have become three
additional vacancies, and in filling
those vacancies l asked the judge adj
vocate general to give me the names
of the men who passed the examine
ion and not to regard the "availabil-
ity' mark at all.
These appointments were sent in
absolutely on the basis of their exam
ination, without consideration of the
availability mark and wishout COM
promise. If availability had count
ed, men who are now low on the
list would have stood high up in the
first lot and vice versa. For in
stance, the man who stood eighth un-
der the marks including availability,
stood second when this arbitrary
mark was disregarded. He was an
enlisted man.

PLATE GLASS WINDOW BROKEN
Vas Il an Accident or Vandals

Was it an Accident or Vandals!
Some time during last night the
large plate glass window in the office
of Walter ii. Hart was broken. APP
parently great force must have been
used in throwing a piece of brick bat
clear through the glass (which is
nearly half an inch in thickness) and
then falling into the room.
Mr.. Hart says that il was all right
at 8 o'clock yesterday evening, and
that he then spoke to four colored
men who were holding heated argu-
ment about the murder case that was
causing the jury to be still locked VI
in the Court House.
A reward of $40 is offered for in.
formation, as it is believed that the
breaksge has been the result of quar-.
reling and stone throwing upon the
public street.

DEATH OF A
PIONEER

Edward ii. Shotwell died Tues
day, July l5, at his residence near
Monte Vista, aged rs years, 5
months and l6 days.
MIR. Shotwell was a pioneer of
the San Luis valley, having settled
on ranch on Rock creek 26 years
ago. He was born in New York
and in early life moved to Wiscon-
SIN and later to Missouri. He
served three years in the civil war
and received a wound in the shoul-
der from which he never recovered
and was therefore a pensioner.
Mr.. Shotwell was an active and
successful business man, always
taking an active part in public
affairs, and was county commits
sioner for some years of Rio
Grande county. He was good
neighbor and citizen and was re-
spected by all who knew him; was
religious man and leader in the
Seventh Day Adventist church.
He is survived by a widow and
three daughters.
Funeral services were conducted
Thursday by Judge Holbrook, as
sisted by DR., Moore, and largely
attended by the people of Monte
Vista, who gathered at the Pres
byterian church to pay their last
respects to an honored citizen.

TRUE TO HIS WORD

Manager U. G. Carpenter of the
P. M. B. T. M. & M. company is
true to his word of few weeks
ago when upon visiting the Pass
Me-By property in company with
Thomas Henahen, State Commits
sioner of Mines, Llewellyn A.
Morrison of the dominion of Can
ada, mining engineer of interna-
tional reputation, William Raw
lings of Philadelphia and Edward
Edwards of England, he said: I'm
less the counties of Conejos and
Rio Grande and the state appro-
priation for the good roads fund
Immediately satisfy me that this
new road will be completed within
reasonable space of time, | shall
reduce my forces at the Pass Me-
By until such time as the legiti-
mate authorities have furnished a
roadbed that will reduce the pres
ent exorbitant wagon freight rates -
There has been some delay occa-
stoned through an accident which
cost the life of one of the engineers,
wherein road work was suspended
waiting the appointment of a sue
cessor. We cannot blame Manager
Carpenter for reducing the force
when we consider the varied ex.
cuses presented by Conejos county
in doing her part of the work in
re-eseablishing roads.
1t was the plain duty of Conejos
county to act in connection with
Rio Grande in this road matter a,
the opening of spring, and had
Conejos county acted in good faith
an automobile ere this could have
been driven to the portal of the
Pass -Me-By tunnel.
u. G.. Carpenters management,
of the Pass Me-By property, from
start to finish, has always signal.
lied him as safe and conserva
tive mining engineer and we SEE
in the reduction of his force at tn,
IP. M. b sound business reasons
AS no individual or company il
that district is justified in paying
the present exorbitant freight rate'
of 81 so per hundred weight.

DRAINAGE
WORK BEGUN

The Carmel drainage district, in
the lower part of the valley, has
let the first contract for $4,000
worth OF work and the Charles f.
Gibson company is now on the
ground, using the large Austin
dredge-a modern machine which
throws the dirt to a proper dis
tance and leaves the sides of the
ditch at the proper slant to pre-
vent caving.
This is the first work done in
the San Luis valley under the new
Colorado district drainage law.
The Carmel drainage system will
cost about $50, 900 when completed
and will reclaim 5000 acres of as
good land as there is in the valley.
There will be twenty-four miles
of bitches, four miles being open
and the balance box or tile drains,
and will be the most perfect sys-
tenn in Colorado.
An outlet ditch has already been
built by the Gibson company for
the use of the drainage water to
irrigate their land.
Two other districts have been
organized in the valley, one at La
Jara and the other at Mosca, and
are now negotiating for the sale of
their bonds, and as soon AS the
bonds are placed they will also
begin the work of reclaiming a
large acreage Of very rich land.
