MAN RECENTLY ACQUITTED OF
MURDER WINS A CIVIL u
ACTION 81 1

Santa Fe, Sept. 11.-Hal II. Major
the Alamogordo attorney, and his son,
A. Mitchell Major, won a decided vic
tory in the federal court yesterday
when Judge w. H. Pope sustained a
demurrer to the answer of the defend
ant in the suit of the two Majors
against the New York Life Insurance
company. to collect $4,000 insurance
on the life of H. Eudora Major, daugh-
ter of Hal H. Major and sister of A.
Mitchell Major.
Says the court:
"The alleged motives governing the
plaintiff, H. H. Major in taking out
the policy of insurance running to him
self and to his two minor children
cannot be imputed to them so as to
destroy the right of one of them to
recover under the provisions of the
policy that the two survivors are to

! Major be thus defeated. II. III Major
manifestly did not entertain the al

The French Version

Washington, Sept 1.-THE French

September II, but presumably written
last night:

attack, either because of exhaustion or
because the Austrian and German
forces were found 10 be Unexpectedly
strong.
On the east Prussian front neither
side seems to have been able to hold
its positions. There is a possibility,
however, that Russia is awaiting the
advent of winter, which will freeze
the marshes, before making a serious
attack in this direction. Germany has
about 100000 men along the east Prus-
sian border and will doubtless make
stubborn stand there to prevent the
opening of the most direct road to
Berlin.
Nish reports the capture of the Aus
trian stronghold of Zemlin. If this is
confirmed, it means that Belgrade is
irelieved from investment after stub
bcrnly resisting an Austrian attack
since the beginning Of the war.
The supposed retirement of the Ger
mans from a portion of the territory
they occupied in Belgium has appar-
emily led to the tentative efforts on
the part of Belgian troops to assume
an offensive movement from their
strong base at Antwerp

MORA END OF THE
ROAD IN BAD
CONDITION
HIGHWAY COMMISSION IN NEIGH
BORING COUNTY is ASKED
TO GET BUSY

From Las Vegas to the Mora coun-
ty line the public highway is in ex-
cellent condition, but from that point
to the city of Mora it is badly in
need of repairs, according to the state
ment of travellers who use the road
constantly. The greater portion of
the complaint comes from Mora coun-
ty. where, the citizens say, the road
commissioners are not doing their
full duty. Numerous complaints are
lodged with the San Miguel county
road board, which has placed its sec
ton of the highway in tiptop shape,
Asking that it use its influence to
have some work done in Mora county.
Mora county is declared to have the
money available for road work and
the county commissioners have signi-
fled a willingness to encourage the
construction and maintenance OF good
highways, but the road commission,
though expressing desire to do ell
fective work, has put off the begin
ming of operations in the vicinity of
Mora, though considerable improve
ment has been made in the vicinity
of Watrous and Wagon Mound.
Mora county has produced lavish
crops this year, and the farmers and
freighters will be seriously handi-
capped in getting the products to mar
ket unless the road is repaired. 1t is
declared by freighters that their
horses and wagon can carry twice the
tonnage on the section of the road
from Las Vegas to the county line
as from that point to the city of Mora,
The county road board and merchants
of San Miguel county have been urged
to use their influence with the Mora
county road commission in an effort
to secure the early beginning of eff
fective work on the Las Vegas-Mora
road.
