Bonds of the State.

At the first days session OF the
State Bankers Association Thurs
day, April II, held at Alexandria,
President L. H. JastremSki of HOu-
ma in his annual report suggested
that as there had been a failure to
receive bids on the new issue of
State bonds, that IAN extra session
of the Legislature should be called
z. lslce SO that a constitutional con-
ventiOn may be convened to deal
with this subject in a proper man
ner," which was in accord with the
views of banking interests in Louis
lana, ito compel the State to pay AZ
per cent for the money necessary to
retire the outstanding debt due JAN
uary 1, 1914. To say the least, this
remarkable proposition died aborn-
ing, for which great satisfaction
may be expressed.
Instead of considering the sugges-
ton of President Jastremski, the
Bankers Association on the second
day of their proceedings adopted
a resolution reading: THAT this
convention, representing the bank
ing interests of Louisiana, does
hereby tender its good offices, as
sistance and cooperation to the
Governor of this State in any man.
ner necessary to prevent default
on its maturing bonds; and, to that
end a committee of nine be appoint
ed by the chair to carry out the in
tended purposes of this resolution y
The committee comprise ]. H..
Fulton, chairman; A. Breton, L. H.
Dinkins, of New Orleans; Hy Pal
frey, of Franklin; w. J. Bayersdorf-
fer of Shreveport; T. E. Flournoy of
Monroe; Joseph Gottlieb of Baton
Rouge; Frank Roberts of Lake
Char les; J. w. Bolton, Alexandria,,
This is the spirit that will stimu-
late good will, that will strengthen
confidence and cooperation, and
that will encourage the Governor,
who would be held accountable and
responsible if the State defaulted in
its obligations.
As the bonds of the State are good
and substantial and are excellent as
a medium for profitable and safe in
Ivestment, there should be expert
enced no hesitation in their dis
posal, especially if they will be is
sued in denominations of Si00 and
the bidding be left open to the small
as we'll as the large investor. Indeed
it is possible to popularize these
bonds until the shall become in
general demand Between the small
and large investors, including the
banks of the State, the bond issue
should be speedily absorbed and the
State would then be provided with
the means that will be applied to
the payment and the cancellation OF
the outstanding bonded debt due
January 1, 1914.

that vendors Of ice cream cones and

children devour so much that they

The mayor had another complaint.
The traffic policeman, stationed at
Second street and Central avenue, he

REPORTED CAPTURE
Of CANDELARIA
PROVES FAKE
Rumor That BernaIiIIO County
Murderer Recently Escaped
From Pen Had Been Retaken
Without Foundation

A rumor that Margarlto Candelaria,
the Bernalillo county murderer who,
with Hilario Ruiz. fellow convict.
recently escaped from the peniten-
tiary in Santa Fe. had been retaken
by special officers of the Santa Fe
railroad at lsleta was circulated in
Albuquerque Yesterday. but on inves-
tigation was found to be wholly with
out foundation
Warden John b. McManus. when
asked in regard to the matter over
the long distance telephone last night
stated that he had heard nothing Of
the reported capture and that the in
formation which he had received con
WINGED him that there was no truth
in the rumor. According to Mr.. Nc
Manus, there is little doubt that Cam
delaria and Ruiz are being concealed
by friends somewhere in the northern
part Of the state. So thoroughly has
the escape been advertised, and so
keen has been the watch Kept for the
fugitives, said Mr.. McManus, that It
is not conceivable that they could
have gotten far away from Santa Fe.
The warden believes that it is only a
question of a short time before the
men will be retaken. 1t is his opinion
that they are now somewhere in the
vicinity of Pine Blanca
1t was impossible to learn how the
rumor of the capture of Candelaria
originated.

each for st. Joseph's hospital, the Sal
walton Army and the Non-Sectarian
Benevolent association to be used for
charity purposes Christmas. DR.. J. A.
Reidy made the suggestion.
David Weinman. who is going to in
stal an elevator in the Faber building,
told the council that he had been in
formed that city ordinances required
automatic trap doors in the shaft on
a level with every floor. City Attor-
ney John c. Lewis said this was not
compulsory
A search through the ordinance
book revealed that elevator shafts
must be encased in fire-proof walls.
Mr. Weinman had planned to enclose
the shaft with iron grill, so that pas
sengers in the lift" could see over
the store, he said. The council took
no definite action-at least, not in
open session.
