TAGGART RESCUES
man AT HAWKINS
Stranger, Unable to Swim,
Plunges in Deep Water and
Sinks.

An unknown man jumped into
eight feet OF water yesterday at Haw
kins pond although he could not swim
and had it not been for John Taggart
and others probably would have
drowned. Taggart jumped into the
water after the man had gone under
four times, seized him by the hair and
held him until assistance came. He
struggled so desperately that five
We're required TO remove him from the
water.
Some time was required to reSuSci-
tate him as he was black in the face
and almost chOked to death when he
was placed on the platform.
After regaining his breath to some
extent. he stated that he believed the
water was only about neck deep and
said he would go in again later where
the water was shallow. He was too
weak to go out of the bath house, how
ever, and soon changed his swimming
suit for his street clothing

might have resulted seriously for him

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
GOOD, SAYS WILSON
Denies Depression and AS

Railroad Offices

WASHINGTON, June 1-President
Wilson today expressed himself freely
on business conditions and also with
regard to the Clayton antitrust bill.
He told his callers he does not be
licve there is any depression in gener-
al in the United States, but wherever
tn depression exists it radiates from
railroad offices and related industries,
Including the steel business, and that
the ordinary buying and selling of the
nation has not been affected.
That railroad depression has exer-
ciSed great influence on the country
and has affected credit markets he
has no doubt. There is a Worldwide
depression in business according to re-
ports that come to him, and the United
States is not suffering from it nearly
so much as other nations, he believes
The president pointed to the state
ment from President Farrell of the
United States Steel corporation, and
f. II. Gary that the outlook in the
steel industry is excellent. He does
not believe that the tariff has had
anything to do with existing business
conditions.
Secretary of Commerce Redfiold re
Gently reported to him that the exports
OF the country were increasing more
rapidly than the imports.
In view of these facts, the president
is inclined to hold to his recent pub
lished statement that the existing de
preston is psychological and that il
business men believe that prosperity
was coming and acted on this belief
it would come with a jump. The presi
dent also told his callers that the la
Dor organizations of the nation do not
gain anything from the Clayton anti
trust bill except assurance that theil
mere existence is not contrary to the
Sherman antitrust law.

earl schools were second TO none in the
state, but he said he found everything
one hundred per cent better than he
had expected.
''The streets are wide and pretty and
the town is laid out in n suitable man

well as convenient and the location is
such that appeals to a stranger within

several years and IL so New Mexico is
just the place to find bargains in farm
