DEATH OF A
GOOD NAN
E. H. Salazar, U. S. Land Re
ceiver at Ft. Sumner
Dies in Albu-
querque.

Hon. E. H. Salazar, general
manager of the Hispano-Ameri-I
cano Publishing company and
United States land receiver at
Fort Summer, died of apoplexy|
resulting from a complication of
troubles, in st. Joseph's sani-|
tarium at Albuquerque, last Mon
day at II o'clock. At the time
of his death Mr.. Salazar was 51|
years of age. Besides his wife,
Mr.. Salazar leaves five children,
one daughter and four sons
to mourn the loss o. a devoted
and highly honored father.
For some time past Mr.. Sala-
Ear had been troubled more or
less with an afiiction of the
heart, but it seems that his NAL i
ady was aggravated when al
short time back he was struck to|
the ground by a steer in Ft. Sum
ner, and since then he was forced
to leave his office in that place
and come to Belen where he had
recently established his home
owing to his connection with this
paper.
Mr.. Salazar was appointed re-
ceiyer of the land Office at Fort
Sumner by President Taft and al
though his time had already ex-
hired and he has twice handed in
his resignation, yet so far as we
know no one has been appointed
to succeed him and neither has
his resignatl' 'on been accepted.
Following the printers trade,
of which he was a master, Mr..
Salazar founded La Voz del
Pueblo" in Santa Fe, which pa
per he later moved to Las vegas
and sold to Felix Martinez, then
he started lei Independence,
another newspaper of statewide
reputation.
For a number of years he was
postmaster of the Las Vegas post
office; he was also a member OF
the board of school directors II
thatplace. Mr.. Salazar was Chle1
Clerk of the house of representa-
tives in the last territorial legls
lature and was awarded higE
honors. AS newspaper MAI
and editor he occupied a higl
place in the state, being one O
the foremost owing to his educa
ton ana ability. He received nj
education at St. Michael's colleg'
and was a stepson of William H
Manderf eld, founder of the San
ia Fe New Mexican. Mr.. Salaza
was married in Las Vegas to Mis-
Agneda l Iopez, daughter of Le

later. Of this marriage he ha

VILLAS MEN
ALL AROUND
Aguascalientes Conference
of Generals Practically
in a Stage of
Siege.

Washington. Oct. 20. That
General Carranza's repudiation
|of the claim of the convention at
lAguascalientes to the sovereign
power in Mexico, had shaken
confidence in official circles that
peace was near in the republic,
!! was apparent here tonight.
General Carranza's message to
the convention asking by what
authority it had proclaimed itself
sovereign and declaring he would
deliver the executive power only
Ito the man elected by the people.
has also dampened the hope that
/ the contest for control of Mexico's
| political affairs between Carranza
I and Villa was about to be finally
adjusted.
Some officials interprit the ad-
ljournment Of the convention to
await the arrival of Zepata dele
1gates as merely move on the
part Of some of the delegates to
confer with Carranza and deter
mine what their course of action
should be.
Officials doubted reports that
General Villa had moved a large
force to the vicinity of Aguas-
calientes to coerce the delegates.
zOficialreports, they said. showed
that while suspicious of such q
move existed when Villa first ar
rived, they were dispelled by his
frank statement to the conven-
stion of his intention to abide by
Tits DEGREES.
Mexico City. Oct. 20.-General
|Zapata will personally attend the
|constitutionalist peace conven-
|tion now in session at Aguas-
|calientes, arriving there at the
| end of the present week. All
action looking towards the draft
sof a new platform and the for
nation of a provisional govern
ment will be suspended until his
arrival.
I Many protests are being filed
! because of alleged outrages COM
united by General Villas soldiers,
who are said. to be holding up
4 delegates and at the point of
I pistols demanding that they
shout Long Live Villa 1t is
acited th"t generals have also been
4 saccosted in this manner.
A protest also has been made
THAT the neutrality of the conven-
Ntion is being violated by the pres
Aence of $4,000 troops within an
hours ride of the city of Aguas-
calientes. The soldiers came
q 8from Zacetecas and belong to
#General Villas command.
4 A similar complaint has been
4 Registered because of a large
5 body of troops to the south, the
s delegates claiming that the city
is in astate of siege.
A resolution was passed today
b absolutely forbidding recruiting
on either side while the peace
Econference is in session.
