Land Office Ruling

We are in receipt of a letter
from the Department of the In
terror replying to one recently
written regarding the Final
Proofs on homesteads when Ap-
plicants filed last winter but were
not allowed to prove up until in
the summer. The land Office
rules that where an application
was made before time to plant a
crop, no crop is demanded for
that year even though it is time
to harvesta crop when final proof
is made. This ruling affects
several proofs made here and
settles the worries of some of
our homesteaders.

The Pleasant View Division and
the Montoya Pocket Division of
the Roy Schools closed last Fri
day after being in session five
months. The attendance in both
of these schools was good and
shows that both should be inde-
pendent districts. The work done
by the Teachers, Miss Phoebe
Russell and Mr., Harry Brockman
has been very satisfactory and
from the reports we receive from
the patrons of these districts. The
pupils have advanced nicely dur

School Election

Notices we're posted this week
announcing a school election to be
held on the first Monday in April.
There will be two directors
elected at this election, one to
fill out the unexpired term of
Henry Mitchell resigned, and one
for the full three year term. 1t
is the duty of the patrons Of the
District to elect the best man
available on the School Board, as
we already have the record of the
best schools in Mora County and
we want to continue this good
record which can only be done by
having men interested in school
work on the board. It has already
been planned to try and have two
years of High School for the
coming school year and this will
necessitate more school room,
But it will be we'll worth the
eff ort that it will cost.

convicted on the charges shown
above at a cost of $4,000 to US
that we must go to court and de-
fend ourself soon at a cost of
from $4,000 to $4,000. The
small chance of collecting dam
ages at the end, if we have been
falsely accused, and the further
fact that if this can be done in
this case it can be repeated in
defnitely-is is enough TO make one
stop and think.
Instinct prompts us to square
our shoulders for the fight and
see it to the bitter end but pru-
dence dictates that this course
would be "Quixotic" and i'm
practical. 1t is our intent there
fore to bend before the storm,to
guard our published utterances
in future so far as possible,
against everything that can be
construed as censure of any
one.
This has been a disagreeable
experience for US but the univer-
sal sympathy we receive, the
recognition of our efforts in the
cause of better government from
our friends here, and the approval
of our own conscience, all tend to
repay us for the humiliation of
being paraded as a criminal in
the eyes of strangers.
This however does not meet
the situation. A fight to a finish
does not mean merely exhonora-
ton from this charge. 1t means
that we can not afford to incur
further trouble for our friends
any more than we conld we're we
left to fight it alone. 1t costs US
more effort and requires more
moral courage to say this than it
would to fight any odds moral
or physical, but it is right.
Some of the letters we found
on our desk on our return from
friends who could not call per-
sonally, and those we receive
daily since, combined with the
many expressions of confidence
and sympathy from the many
who come personally with their
kind words, have dimmed eyes
unused to tears and whatevey
the outcome of this present case
the recollection Of it in the future
will not be wholly unpleasant.

Accused of Libel
Editor Bound Over $1,000

The Editor of the Spanish
American was arrested by a con-
stable from Wagon Mound Mon
day morning and taken to that
town to be tried on a charge of
Criminal Libel" Not knowing
what to expect, we employed
Attorney J. B. Lusk, of Roy, to
defend us and on arriving in
that town we learned that J. D.
Medina, Assessor of Mora Coun-
ty, had fled a complaint against
us based upon a, statement made
in the issue of January 31st COM
mending the State Administra
tion for efforts to right wrongs
that prevail in county matters,
citing an instance published in
the Santa Fe New Mexican and
suggesting that similar conditions
have existed or could be found in
Mora County.
It seems that-while the name
of Mr.. Medina was not mention
ed nor referred to in any way in
the article and as a matter of
fact the article did not refer to
him nor to any other person in
particular but to a condition of
affairs that is known to all the
people of this vicinity, and cen
suring the people for permitting
it-yet some one INFERRED
that it was meant as a reproach
on Mr.. Medina personally and
our arrest and trial was the re-
suit.
Our case was ably presented
by Atty. Lusk aided by Atty.
Stanley Foutz, of Wagon Mound
in Justice of Peace, Francisco
Luian's court. The actual state
ment published and our state.
ment as to our intent in publish
ing it were pitted against the
evidence of several witnesses for
the prosecution averring that
they thought or believed it was
intended to apply to Mr.. Medina
as presented by an Assistant
District Attorney. The latter was
accepted and we were placed
under $1,OOo.0O bond to await
the action OF the Grand Jury.
Friends in Roy promptly fur
nished the required Bond and we
were permitted to return home
Wednesday.
It would not be good policy to
enter into a discussion of the case
as it stands now and, as our
friends and enemies alike are
fully alive to the real situation we
shall not discuss it. The mere
fact that we can be arrested tax

BERGDoLL IN TROUBLE AGAIN
OVER AUTOMOBILE LICENSE
Fined by Ardmore Justice and Held
for Court on Two Charges.


Grover c. Bergdoll, racing automobile
drlVer and aeroplane pilot, who recently
served prison term for fast driving on
the roads on the Main Line. was fined $40
and costs for not having n drivers
license and held under $500 bail for court
on the charge of operating car with a
license other than his own by Squire
Warner In Ardmore today.
Bergdoll paid his fine under protest
and furnished bail for his trial in court
in Norristown during the December
term.
The Ardmore police station was crowd
ed when Bergdoll faced Captain James
Donaghy. of the Main Line police force.
Donaghy scored another victory over
the young driver. He proved that the
car driven by Bergdoll upon the night II
colllded with another, throwing two
women into the roadway lniuring them,
carried the license number of Kirby r.
Glle. It was Pennsylvania license 1143S5.
1t was issued to Kirby Gile. a minor. a
son of DIR. Ben C. Gile, of Bryn Mawr.
Young Gle, according to Donaghy, Is
now away at a preparatory school and
never owned car.
Bergdoll denied that he had any knowl-
dge of the license number being Giles.
He said that 1t was probably placed on
the car by some of the employees OF the
Irwin MOtorcar Company, at 31st and
Dauphin streets, in which he is said to
be interested. FIe contended that he did
not need a drivers license, being a
dealer.

$5,OOO,OOO ADDED
TODAY TO DEPOSITS
IN RESERVE BANK
Stability and Soundness of
City's Financial Institutions
Reflected by Absence of
Requests for Discounts.

Approximately S5,OO0OOO was deposited
today by the banks that are members Of
the reserve system in the new Federal
Reserve Bank OF Philadelphia. which
opened yesterday
The new deposits will raise the amount
of money handled by the bank in the two
days OF its existence to S12, 100000, deposits
amounting to 100000 having been made
yesterday by the member banks in addl-
tion to the 100000 in new Federal Re
serve Bank notes that were received from
Washington yesterday
The deposits consist largely of bank
notes, drafts and checks on the member
banks, and gold, Despite the newness
Of the bank, the vast amounts of money
are being handled with remarkable
smoothness
No commercial paper has been dis
counted at the bank. Governor Charles
J. Rhcads says that the absence Of ex-
element over the opening of the new
bank and the absence OF applications for
discounts on commercial paper reflects
the stability and soundness of the banks
here. The local financial conditions have
been improving for several weeks.
A satisfactory proportion of the banks
that are members Of the new reserve
bank made their deposits yesterday.
Many of them, however, did not receive
their notices to make deposits until to-
day. Deposits are expected to be heavy
for several days The total deposit Is
estimated at a varying amount between
S5.0O0 900 and s20OO0,OOO. Several Phladel-
phia banks we're among the first deposit
tors. The others have been unofflcially
asked to make their deposits later in the
week to relieve the rush of the opening
days.
The force at the new bank is made up
of IL regular clerks of at least six years
experience in the banking business, and
several clerks who have been borrowed
from the national banks to handle the
extra business that accompanied the OPEN
ing CT the bank. No definite arrange
ments of the permanent force of the bank
will be made until the bank has been
operating for several days.
Governor Rhoads said that he had re-
ceived more than SEQ applications for
positions in the new bank. The positions
for the time being will be appointive. The
salaries paid will be about the same as
those for similar positions in other banks.

SIXTY MILE GALE
LEAVES TRAIL OF
WRECK AND FIRE
North Atlantic Coast From
Norfolk to Maine Lashed
by Storm Which Holds
Vessels Helpless.

NEW YORK Nov 17.-Fire, wreck at
sea and starvation followed the 60-mle
gale that lashed the North Atlantic coast
for the last few days. There was slight
abatement of the terrific blow today, but
from Norfolk to Eastport, Maine, the
vigil of lfesavlng corps was redoubed.
Many sailing vessels which left ports
just before the sea storm broke with
tornado-llke force still are unheard from
Special lookouts have been established all
along the coast TO succor ships which
may have been whipped into helpless
ness.
The gale reached its greatest intensity
about midnight last night. During ITS
height the steam canaler Eureka, rum
ming to cover before a northeaster,
plunged into Smiths Island Reef, off the
Connecticut coast She is a total loss.
The vessel carried 5000 tons of feldspar
for Trenton, N. j. Captain Mills, his
wife and the crew were saved by Cap
tain Tharston Stabell, who took them off
In dory.
At Smiths Island, Delaware, the
schooner MassasBot was driven fast
ashore. The captain and his crew of
seven were taken off by a lifesavlng
crew.
Captain G. V. Griffen and six men of
the battered schooner NJ. X. Rawley were
picked up unconscious from exposure and
loss of food. The men had fought their
way through freezing surf to land. Cap
tain Griffen was forced to drive his ship
ashore when an oil tank forward ex-
ploded and added fire to the storm horror.
The men are at Eastport in a critical
condition,

FIRE FOLLOWS BURGLARS
FAILURE TO BLOW SAFE
$4,000 Damage to Elisha Webb
Sons Ship Chandlery.

Fire thought to have been started by
burglars who failed to pry open a safe
swept through the basement and first floor
of the Elish Webb Sons & Co. ship
chandlery, 1856 South Front street, early
today, The loss is estimated at close to
$4,000.
Two alarms were sent In when it was
learned the basement contained barrels
OF turpentine and bales Of infammable
hemp.
Six or seven hundred barrels of lubrl-
eating oil and large quantities of linseed
oil, rosin and wax and grease were stored
In the adjoining warehouse occupied by
Loos & Dilworth. Had the flames spread
to this building the entire neIghborhood
would have been endangered.
A policeman OF the Sd and De Lancey
streets station discovered the blaze.
When firemen arrived the flames had
eaten through TO the first floor. 1t was
almost impossible for firemen to enter the
building. Several lines of hose were run
into the basement, however. and after a
fight lasting fully an hour the flames
were under control The upper floors
were saved.
The police are now searching for the
burglars, who left evidence of thetr
work. 1t is believed the men were anna
teurs. They used tools taken from the
machine shop OF the firm on the fourth
floor. A combination knob on the safe
was pried of, but all efforts of the
thieves to open the door were futile.
Every desk In the office was Tansacked
and a small safe owned by stenogra-
pher was broken open II contained 25
cents. The tools used by the men were
left lying about the safe, Entrance to
the building was gained through sec
ond-story window, reached from a fire
escape.

LAWYER FIGHTING
DIVORCE CALLS CITY
RENO OF THE EAST''
Laxity of Laws Here Issue
on Which Injunction Is
Granted in New York
Courts.

philadelphia, the Reno of the East"
This description of the Quaker City was
made by Brooklyn lawyer appearing
against another member of the bar In
a New York court, for an injunction TO
halt divorce proceedings in this city.
The attorney charged that william
Dwight Teese, of Brooklyn, had made
application for divorce in this city and
had almost succeeded i'm getting it with
out his wife's knowledge.
Former District Attorney John F.
Clarke, of Kings County, New York, ap-
peared for the wife, Mrs. Daisy Teese.
Justice Benedict granted an Injunction
against Teese restraining him from pro-
ceeding further with his case before the
Common Pleas Courts of this city. where
the case had progressed so far that his
wife's default had been noted. Final
hearing on the case was to have been
given next Wednesday
According to MT Clarke. all divorce
litigant has to do in this city is to main
tain a nominal residence here for one
year. He submitted proof to Justice Bene-
diet that Teese had been a resident of
Brooklyn for IS years, and that he had
voted there this year and maintained a
law office in the borough.
Philadelphia lawyers and jurists united
in denying the charge that Philadelphia
was the "Reno OF the East" They de-
elared divorce records In this city would
bear comparison with those of any other
OF its size.
"Our divorce laws are among the best"
said Judge Patterson. Divorces are
granted only for good, valid reasons.
such as faithlessness. cruel and abusive
treatment. In order to get divorce a
person must have been a resident here
FOR a period of more than one year"
