WAGE ARBITRATION

Chicago, Dec. 3.-Accusations that
counsel for the railroads in the wage
arbitration hearing here and seeking
to delay proceedings and befog testi-
mony, were made today by Warren
S. Stone, representing the engine
men.
II am probably the mos; Erdman.
lied and Newlandized man in the
United States" remarked Stone. Il
am perfectly familiar with arbitra-
tions. and il seems To me that we
are conducting this hearing more
from the legal, the LAWYERS stand
point than from the standpoint Of
trying to make the basic facts ap-
pear clearly. The intent seems to be
to befog the case"
James M. Sheean. counsel for the
railroads. made no reply.
M. W. Cadle, a schedule expert
placed in the witness chair by Stone.
concluded his testimony. after three
days of quizzing by both sides, this
afternoon.
Cadle was succeeded on the stand
by William S. Carter, Brotherhood
Locomotive Firemen and Enginmen,
He introduced a pamphlet containing
statistics tending to prove that the
weight of an engine on its driving
wheels is the best known method OF
computing the pay of locomotive
crews.

FATALLY WOUNDED

A Mexican man was brought here
from Mosquero Tuesday evening In
serious condition. He was plac-
ing a gun up out of reach Of his little
children when ii vas accidentally
discharged the ball, a 30-30, striking
him in the stomach. II passed on
through the stomach and liver max
ing an ugly wound.
He was not brought to the Tucum-
carl Hospital until Tuesday evening,
some fifty hours after the accident.
II was found that he was seriously
injured and the physicians have no
hope for his recovery, his death be-
ing expected at any moment.
An operation was performed i'm
mediately upon the arrival here, but
the delay made it impossible to do
much good His sufferings were
partially relieved and at last reports
was still alive.

MAN DEAD IN CAR

Alam0gordo, N. NJ, Dec. Am
unknown man, apparently about 35
years of age, was found, dead late
yesterday afternoon in box car load
ed with ties. The discovery was
made by employees of the tie and
timber treating plant, when they
opened the car to unload the ties.
The body was removed to an under
taking establishment and coroners'
jury empaneled. The body was still
warm when an examination was
made by physician. and his opinion
is that was due To pneumonia and
occurred not more than three or four
hours before the discovery was made.
There was not scrap of paper or a
mark of any kind on the clothing to
indicate the name or address of the
deceased He was fairly well dress
cd but had the general appearance
of a box car traveller.

ROAD AGENTS FOOLED

A couple Of road agents were very
badly fooled Friday night a week ago
when they held up w. H. Kizer near
Hanley and expected to relieve him
Of nice sum of money. The hold
up occurred on the public road just
beyond Hanley while Mr.. Kiser was
returning home with a load of corn
he had purchased from a neighbor,
but he had only taken sufficient mon
ey with him to buy the corn and the
would be robbers, made a water
haul. The two men, though SEEM
ingly amateur at robbing, made a
thorough search of Mr.. Kizer's pock-
cts and body for belt which might
contain money, but as above stated
Mr.. Kizer left his money at home.
Moral: Leave your money at home
when pirooting around at night.

ERvIEN TURNS
OVER BIG PILE

The unprecedented amount of
$al3, 1924 has been transferred
thus far this year by State Land
Commissioner r. p. Ervien to the
state treasury. one-half Of the
amount going to the public schools
and the other half being distributed
to the credit of the various state in
stitutions.
The transfer for this month, made
last week, runs up to $50, 1862 all
derived from land leases and sales.
From now on the annual income
will exceed half million dollars, Civ
ing some indication of the rich heri-
tage in lands that New Mexico has
been granted by Uncle Sam, amount
ing to something like 100000
acres, an area more than twice that
Of the state of Maryland or New
Jersey.

TAKE A REST

The country needs less politics and
more work.
Less destructive political talk and
more constructive industrial action
would help the nation.
Congress should postpone passage
of its anti-business bulls until busi-
ness is in a more robust state Of
health. No harm, but much good
could come from such a course.
Most business men have been
whistling to keep their courage up.
They have been orally optimistic,
but pessimistic at heart. Their ac-
counts have not been as rosy as their
published words.
But conditions, given reasonable
encouragement, could improve Won
derfully.
Nature is on our side. Chicago

TO GIVE BACK RAILROADS

General Villa will return Mexican
national railway lines. He has wired
the stock holders that under one
condition he will return them the
road and that is that they rebuild
and re-equip the road; also re-em-
ploy all American train dispatchers.
engineers and conductors. This
will mean an enormous expenditure
for material as well as giving work
for thousands of unemployed
American railroad men which will
no doubt be appreciated as the sus-
pension of business in, the United
States has put many good men on
the tramp. leaving their families to
be taken care of by the public.

A PROMINENT EASTERN
PLAYGROUND ENTHUS.
last VISITS TUCUM

I. S. Settle and wife, Of New York
City, spent last Wednesday visiting
the Tucumcari schools, and are
friends of the playground movement.
Mr.. Settle is the field secretary of
the Playground and Recreation AS
sociation of America and devotes
his entire time to the cause Of giving
the public places for free exercise
amid desirable surroundings.
After investigating Tucumcari
conditions he expressed himself as
feeling we should organize all the
civic improvement forces, and plan
a definite course for a public play
ground. He met many of the teach
ers, and a number Of the club wo-
men Of the city, in conference at
four o'clock. at the central school
building. Before leaving here to go
to his next stop at FL Paso he declar-
ed that Tucumcari has about the
livest body of teachers he ever met,
and that he is sur prised at the kind
and quality of work that is done in
our schools. The fact that Mr.. Set
tie was formerly the assistant super
intendent Of public instruction for
Virginia, and now visits many Of
the best schools in the country, gives
weight to such a comment. He
thinks it is possible and very desir-
able that the city and school forces
unite and develop a place in which
children may spend their out-of-
school hours during the regular
school term. and at any time when
not occupied with home duties dur
ing vacation periods.

NEW AGENCY

The Whitmore Commission Agency
is the name of a new firm which has
opened offices in the Gerhardt build
ing next door to the News office, and
is now ready for business. John +.
Whitmore Is one Of the members of
the new firm. and is practically
known to every citizen in this coun-
ty because Of the fact that he has
been identified among the business
men of Tucumcari for many years.
q. G. Culberson is the other member
and comes to this city with the best
of recommendations. He is a young
man Of experience in the commission
business and formerly lived at Bir-
mingham, Ala. He has been o resi-
dent of this city for several months
and besides being a man Of means
he has proven himself to be worthy
of every consideration which might
be accorded him.
Besides doing a general brokerage
business this concern hopes to be Of
vast assistance to the farmer in dis
posing Of his farm products.
Our farmers have not had the en-.
enlargement they might have had
with their farm products. They
have been bringing their products
TO market this fall and on many oc-
casions have had to haul them back
TO their homes. The Whitmore
Commission Agency hopes to help
the farmer out at this point. II will
be in touch at all times with buyers
and sellers Of all marketable stuff,
and in this way will fill a place in the
business of our town that has long
been needed. 1t is to be hoped that
this enterprise will meet with APP
proval and encouragement from the
bust ness men of Tucumcari.

TRUNK LINES BUSY

Once more the trunk line railroads
are in the market for big orders.
The A. T. Il s. F. railroad has let an
order for two million dollars worth
of steel rails. This material will be
used mostly in replacing worn out
rails on the main line. II is under
stood that the Santa Fe has purchas-
ed the railroad that runs from Santa
Fe to Terrence. This is the New
Mexico Central. The Santa Fe no
doubt will rebuild this line and use
new rails throughout. The Northern
Pacific has let an order for one and
one.half million dollars worth ofnew
pullman coaches. This is TO handle
the immense passenger business that
will go that northern route to the
San Diego exposition in 1915.

WILL TRY GET BILL PASSED

DtNs iSlfs
Judge J. ID. Cutlip,
Tucumcari, N. M.
My dear Mr.. Cutlip:
| have your kind letter of Decem-
Der the second, and sincerely appre-
ciate your expression of regret at
the outcome of the recent election.
Regarding my homestead bill, will
say that it is my intention TO push
this measure with all the influence
that can bring to bear, and sin
cerely hope that it will be enacted
into a law before the expiration Of
my term of office, March 4th next.
However. the calendars of Congress
are over-crowded with appropriation
bills and other administration mea-
sures. which | fear will require all
the time of Congress for the next
three months: it is possible that |
may not even get my bill up for a
vote.
] regret to write thus, but believe
that ii is only right that should
communicate the exact situation to
you.
Very truly yours,
II. B. Ferguson.

The superintendent report for
the month ending Nov. 20 shows an
enrolment of 7l2 with an average
attendance of 664.
This report compared with the
one Of the third month a year ago.
shows that we have q pupils less en-
rolled than we had year ago, and
| that we have an average Of ~ less
in onr daily attendance.
The teacher of violin gave So pri-
vate lessons during the month of No
vember. and the piano teacher gave
80 lessons during the same time.
There are now two school orches-
tras. The senior orchestra has
twelve members in Il, and the junior
has % members. Both orchestras
meet twice weekly for practice.
All departments of the school seem
to be doing good work, under crowd
ed conditions. After considerable
planning, it is believed we can make
il possible to care for the pupils who
nave recently become six years old,
and who wish to enter school soon
after holidays. without the necessity
of securing any extra teaching force.
Miss Fitzgerald, who teaches the
first grade at the high school, can so
re-adjust her classes that she will be
able to accept these new beginners.
On account of smallpox in one
family on the north side, the city
health officer has asked that no one
he permitted to continue in school
unless such person give satisfactory
proof Of immunity. All teachers
have been working hard to get each
pupil TO get the necessary credentia
from some physician, to remain ir
school, and most of them have now
furnished the certificate of immuni
ty. Those who have not done Sc
will do 40. or be refused admission :,

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC
ASS0C'N WILL GIVE
BOX SUPPER

There will be box supper and
variety program at the high school
on Thursday evening, December
seventeenth, TO which all patrons
and friends of the school are cordi-
ally invited. The object of the fes-
tival and entertainment is to raise
money for the benefit of the high
school athletic association.
The program will begin promptly
at seven forty-fve, and promises TO
be the cleverest from the point Of
originality Of any entertainment
ever given in Tucumcari. As its
name suggests 1t is variety enter
[ tainment, and those who do not find
enough good wholesome humor to
satisfy them will certainly be hard
TO please. The program will last
about an hour and a quarter, and a
small admission fee Of fifteen cents
will be charged at the door. How
ever all ladies who bring boxes will
be admitted free.
A handsome box of Bon Bons has
been provided for the most popular
lady at the festival. This box of de-
licious sweets must be seen to be ap-
preciated. Ladies tell your friends
to boost for you in the contest. An
dppreciative prize has also been pro-
'vided for the homliest gentleman in
the audience. Ladies and gentle
men. come out and enter the con-
test for these prizes.
More definite announcements will
be given out later by means Of hand
bills. Watch for them. BE sure to
plan now to come out and encourage
athletics by giving your support to
the organization which controls the
life Of all high school athletics.
Tennis courts have been prepared
IN the high school grounds and are
soon to be placed at the disposal of
the public. These grounds cost con-
siderable money and we should like
very much to have the support of
the public in paying for playground
which will be soon placed at your
disposal.

SOME BLAZE

The coal chutes at the roundhouse
caught fire early Friday morning
and came near being burned down.
The night shift at the shops were
not familiar with the fire-fghting
apparatus and were unable to make
the proper connections to do efficient
work until some of the day force ar.
rived. Two strings of hose were
connected with the railroad hydrants
and the big engine assisted in put.
ting pressure behind the stream
which forced three-inch stream
far above the highest point on the
chutes. A continual flood Of water
was kept flowing for more than a
half hour and with the assistance of
the city fire boys who had string of
hose more than three blocks long the
blaze was soon under control, but
being on the inside of the chutes the
fire was hard to entirely subdue.
The city fire boys took daring
chances when they entered the en-
gine room in order that they might
|extinguish a fire which was impos-
sible to reach from the outside. This
daredevil work, while il shows
courage, is not right and We feel
that the boys should not take such
chances unless human life is in dan
ger. What is few thousand dol
lars worth of property in compari-
son with a human life?
The chutes were put out of com
mission for several days owing to
the damage to the hoist. but no coal
was burned, and a force of men
were put to work replacing the
burned timbers and cleaning the
machinery. They had the engine
running next day and say they will
