Belen Defeats the @.
R. E. in End Game

After defeating the much moot
ed Newton, Kans., team, the O.
R. E. nine lost to Belen in the
second game of the double
header Sunday afternoon at Trac-
tion park. The score Of thesecond
game was 9to7.
The O. R. E. club apparently
cinched a victory over Belen in
the first inning when they piled
up 4-run lead, partly due to i'll
luck on the part of the visitors.
From then until the last half of
the fourth the game was score
less. Belen sent seven players
over the plate in that period, and
albuquerque was unable to forge
ahead, although fighting hard.
The entire O. R. e. lineup ap-
peared to be trying for an alti-
tude record in the final half of
the fourth, possibly unstrung by
a threatened melee when Hart
line, playing right field, ques-
toned the umpire's decision on a
strike. Hartline advanced to-
ward the umpire, who halls from
Belen, with his bat. Gutierrez
shot two balls over the plate as
he came on and the umpire called
Hartline out. The players gath
cred about the arbiter and a tire
some argument followed, in the
course of which part of the at
tendance of 500 persons departed.
The locals scored one run in
the fifth, another in the sixth
and one in the ninth.
Armijo started pitching for the
| 0. R. E., but yielded so many
hits that Aye, the Indian twirl.
er, was sent in. Aye held the
visitors hitless. Gutierrez went
the entire distance in the box fol
the visitors. Gutierrez struck
out ten, Armijo two and Aye
seven. Chavez, Hartline, Coer
and Hill got into the extra-base
hit column. each walloping the
ball for two bases. Albuquerque

Prof. Gunter Resigns

Prof. J. B. Gunter, superintend-
ent Of the Belen public schools
during the past two years, re-
signed at a meeting of the board
of trustees Tuesday afternon of
this week. He resigned to accept
the principalship of the academic
departmental the School of Mines
located at Socorro.
His many friends will regret
that he has severed his connec-
tion with our schools just at the
time when our educational pros
poets are so bright, but this
change is a decided promotion,
paying better salary with splen-
did opportunities for advance
ment. We should feel proud of
the fact that one of the state
schools should select one of our
teachers for a professorship.
Prof. Gunter will leave for his
new location about September Is.
He expects to maintain his home
here for the present, returning tc
Belen during his vacation. He
will retain his interest in the
Apiaries of Gunter Bros, near
town, which will llremain here per.
manently.

A Good Man Gone

Member Of Legislature for
BernaIillo County Died
Last Tuesday

Hon. Melquiades Chavez, well
known throughout the state, died
at his home in Old Albuquerque
last Tuesday morning at four
o'clock after a brief illness; al
though the venerable orator had
been in failing health for more
than a year. He is survived by
a son, Elias Chavez, ana one
brother, Carlos Chavez, an at
torney. The funeral arrange
ments have not been decided on
and probably will not be an
nounced before tomorrow, ac-
cording to Undertaken Fred
Crollott, who has charge Of the
arrangements.
Mr.. Chavez served two terms
as sheriff of Bernalillo county in
the early days when being sher-
iff of this county was not the
soft snap it is today. In his
later years he served in the house
Of representatives, having been
elected the last time on the re-
form wave which swept this
county in l9Oo-08. Up to a
couple Of years he was in con-
stant demand in public and pol
itical meetings. His command
Of the Spanish language was
wonderful and he was one of the
most fluent and effective orators
in the state in his mother tongue.
Even those who could not I'M
derstand his words often were
swayed by the old mans elc-
qucnce, and although short oI
stature, his flowing white neard
and impressive delivery made
him a commanding figure on the
platform.

Senators are Told to
Hurry Home
Members Of Congress Hearing
from Constituents; Trust
Legislation Not to
Be Delayed

Washington, July 26. Mem
bers of congress are hearing from
their constituents, urging them to
get through with their legislation
as soon as possible and come home
to look after their political fences.
This applies to more than thirty
of the senators as we'll as to the
representatives, for this fall
comes the first general election
for United States senators under
t h e seventeenth constitutional
amendment.
Many Republican senators have
signified their intention not to de-
lay trust legislation, most of them
explaining publicly that congress
is tired and that statesmen are
not in condition to do their best
work.
I'VE need a rest, is the deola-
ration of the Republicans; like
wise it is the slogan of some Of
the Democrats. 1t is an open Sc
cret, however, that behind the
desire for rest. is q desire on the
part of Republican senators as
we'll as the Democrats, to dof the
toga for campaign togs.
Such Republican leaders as Sen
ators Smoot, Gallinger and Cum
Minis, all of them vitally interest
ed in trust legislation, are also in
tcrested in their own campaigns.
Popular election of senators is a
new thing for them and they be-
lieve that it will be we'll to get Oh
! toe home ground early. Hence
they intend to prevent filiouster-
ing against trust legislation and
Republicans generally believe that
the debate will be straightfor-
ward one from now until the
three bills are passed.
Discussionof theinterstate trade
1
commission bill will be resumed
tomorrow. Democratic leaders
hope that it may be passed within
the next ten days. Such a rate
they believe, would be progress
ing we'll toward completion of the
legislation program early in Sep
tember. That is the time that
most administration leaders now
are setting for adjournment.
The coming week also probably
will see some decisive steps taken
to fill the federal reserve board.
President Wilson is expected to
name western or middle west
ern man in place of Thomas D.
Jones of Chicago, and the uncer-
tainty regarding Paul NJ. War
burg, of New York, also will be
cleared up. Most administration
senators believe that Mr.. War
burg will eliminate himself, and
that the president is already con-
sidering a man to name in his
place. Seth Low and A. Barton
Hepburn, the latter the president
of the Chase National bank, New
York are said to be under con-
sideration.

Happiness is about equally di-
vided between what we do and
what we don't. The battles with

fight a man puts up within him

that the lawyer was on his way
from New York and hastened to
meet him. Without awaiting Mr..
Ivin's explanation of his visit, he
held out his hand and greeted him
cordially.

Alfalfa is an exceptionally deep

conditions it is lonk lived. Like other
legumes, it has the capacity, under,
the right conditions, Of assimilating
nitrogen from the atmosphere, but
until the root system and the nodules
which It bears are we'll developed its
growth Is greatly promoted by the
presence Of readily assimilable nj
trogen in the soil. It is without doubt
one Of the most valuable forage plants
known to man. 1t has long been cul-
tivated in various parts of Asia and
Europe, whence It was brought to
Mexico BY the Spaniards, who took
1t with them to California and the
semi.arid portions of our southwest
.ern states. During the last fifteen or
twenty years its culture has been
steadily pushed eastward, and it is
now successfully grown in most parts
OF the United States and In a few
