Summary of War
NeDs of Yesterday

The British steamer Lasitania has
! made use Of the American flag in
crossing The Irish sea and thereby has
probably created situation which
will bring about an inquiry into the
whole subject of bellgerent vessels
utilizing flags OF neutral states.
The incident bears out in a meas
ure, az least, the allegation made by
the German government that British
merchantmen have been advised to
employ the flag Of a neutral nation
under certain conditions
The captain Of the Lusitania, ac-
cordng TO American passengers,
claimed the right TO use the American
flag in order to protect neutral pas
sengers and mails aboard his ship.
No official report Of this incident
has been received at Washington, but
Il is considered likely there that
complete investigation viii be made.

Santa Fe, Feb. 6.---This afternoon
in the senate was devoted to- washing
dirty linen, nearly all of it democrat
ic; but there we're dark hints that on
the republican side also there was
considerable laundry that needed at
tention.
1t all came up over house bill 1873,
providing for the appointment of a
committee of five to investigate the
state college and the First State bank
at Las Cruces. The bill was favora-
bly, reported and Immediately put on
It's passage.
Mr. Holt seized the opportunity to
explain why he had not presented a
statement prepared by r. r. McCanna
of Albuquerque. Incidentally he gave
an amazing account of wildcat bank
ing and political maneuvers that IS
sure to ostound the people OF the
entire state.
Senator Barth rose TO a question OF
information and asked II senator Holt
knew who the associates of Smith had
been. Mf sfolt replied with list OF
men who had borrowed from the
bank, giving little or no security and
all except one were democratic poll
ticians, while the one exception, M.
B. Thompson, he asserted, is per-
sonal friend of Smith and also his
L. d. Smith, who is said to have bor-
rowed S12, 900; Morgan O. Llewellynp
$11 700. plus an overdraft, bringing
the total up to almost $4,000; T. r.
Smith, $4,000; Fay Sperry, s1t,fOo +,
Registrar Wettlaufer, S1,242, Harden
Smih, S4,500: I. X. Cleaveland, s4,-
$50. plus an overdraft; j. Burwell,
s2,460; Mark Is Thompson. $500,
plus an overdraft, making total or
over $4,000: r. b. Porter, director
of the bank, $500, John Gilbert
$4,000, with an oyerdraft Of $4,000,
the total being over $1s4,000, besides
which he alleged there was $4,000 in
controversy between the Las cruces
and a Texas bank, making a total OF
over $4,000
Mr.. Holt declared that the deposit
tors would be lucky TO receive 70 cents
on the dollar of their claims.
Mabry Defends Auditor
Mr.. Mabry followed, and explained
that the travelling auditors fault II
any, had not been that of negligence
but of over -zealousness, as eXempli-
fled in Eddy, Curry and other demo
cratic counties. He told how demo-
cratic politicians had attempted to
divert Governor Mcdonald from the
investigation of Curry county affairs
and drew a startling picture of demo-
cratic corruption and inefficiency in
his home county, which he said the
travelling auditor. at the command OF
Governor Mcdonald. had uncovered
MT. Evans took occasion to scold
me majority for not passing good
pahklhg law, and also defended the
travelling auditor
mr. Barth was the next speaker
ana asked why the resolution for in
Iornlatlon had not been directed te
Mr.. Holt instead Of to the governor
as Mr.. Holt, he said, seemed to he
loaded with information. Mr.. BartI
also paid his respects to Representa-

the case.
We believe every American citizen,
every man, woman and child in
America who believes in liberty

when the rotten court asked him if
he had anything to say why sentence

court, that nothing ! can say or do

YOUNG GIRL IS AC-
C|DENTALLY SHOT
Was Cleaning a Rifle and Gun Went
Off, Bullet Striking Her
in Head.

Perry, Ia, March 27.-Madeline
Relleher, the 17-year-old daughter
of Thomas Kelleher, prosperous
farmer living north of this city, was
probably fatally injured at their
country home yesterday when a .22
caliber rifle which she was cleaning
was accidentally discharged. The
young lady was alone in the house
at the time of the accident, but a
cleaning rod and rags on a table
nearby showed what she was doing.
Her brother, Will Kelleher, who was
working at the barn, heard the shot
and ran to the house. He found the
girl lying on the floor with bullet
wound over her right eye. Doctors
were called and they assert that
there is no chance for her to live.

Twin GIRLS FOUND

Tacoma, Wash, Mother Locates
Young Women in Iowa
Town. j.

Shenandoah, Ia, March 27.-Af-
ter nearly twenty-one years OF
searching Mrs. w. E. Simmerman Of
Tacoma, Wash, has found her twin
daughters at Riverton and is there
visiting them at the present time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Simmerman and lit
tie daughter arrived Monday and
are at the Asbury Roberts home. She
is the mother of the two adopted
girls, Miss Faye Roberts and Miss
Ethel Coppleman. A few months ago
they found out where their mother
was and she got trace of her chill
dren again. She came from her
Washington home to see the twin
daughters as soon as arrangements
could be made.
When the girls were babies their
mother and father separated and the
mother was not financially able to
support the two children, so they
were taken to an orphans home
where they were adopted. Mr.. and
Mrs. Roberts of Riverton adopted
Faye, when she was just a few
months old.
A year or two ago the two sisters
got trace of one another.

Mrs. Whitelaw Reid in London ex-
pressing gratitude for the aid Civ
en- by the American Red Cross in
caring for sick and wounded British

Mrs. Reid also forwarded a letter
of thanks and appreciation she had
received from Sir William Garston,
chief of the supply division of the
English Red Cross. Through the
American ambassador at Vienna
came a similar letter from Count Ru-
dolph Traun of the central organiza-
ton of the Austrian Red Cross.

STAGE LINES STILL
FOUND IN THE WEST
Motors Now in Use Where Mule
Teams Were Once Seen and Long
Whips Cracked.

Topeka, kant has been many
years since stage lines were the chief
mode of transportation across Kansas
and had regular time tables and rate
schedules as the railroads have at the
present time But there are still sew
eral stage lines in Kansas and the rail
roads are publishing the schedules for
these lines in their regular list of con.
nections, as they do in the more west
ern states, where stage transportation
is still common.
Along the Union Pacific and the
Rock Island Lines in northern Kansas,
the Missouri Pacific through the cen.
ter of the state and the Santa Fe in
southern Kansas, there are still. con
Meeting stage lines which operate as
regularly as the railroad trains. The
building of the railroad from Garden
City north to Scott City on the Mis-
souri, Pacific and then to Winona on
the Union Pacific has caused several
stage lines to go out of business. The
building of the Colmor cutoff in
southwest Kansas has caused the
abandonment of several stage lines
that reached the towns in the rail-
roadless counties of the state.
There are two regular mail stage
lines operated in Shawnee County, one
connecting Dover with the Rock Island
and another connecting Auburn with
the Santa Fe. Both are only eight or
nine miles long, but they carry mail
and passengers to the railroads.
The Santa Re connecting line
table shows stage lines connecting
with its trains at Syracuse, Lakin and
Coolidge to points in the extreme
southwest corner of the state not
reached by rail. The Union Pacific has
half a dozen stage lines listed in its
tables in Kansas. These lines connect
with the Missouri Pacific on the south
or the Rock Island, or another branch
of the Union Pacific on the north,
touching several inland towns and say
ing travelling men long detOurs if they
attempt to make the trip by rail. From
Grainfield to Cove City there is a reg.
ular stage line, as GranfielG is on the
railroad while Cove City, the county
seat, is twelve miles away.
The stages have comparatively low
fares and haul almost as much bag
gage free as does the railroad. The
stage trips in Kansas are no longer
the picturesque outings Of former days
as there are none of the old stage
coaches left with a six or eight'mule
team and a driver with a long whip
and a fine command of 'mule-killing'
language All the stage lines in Kan
sas are motors now, one or two IL
the southwest part of the state having
real motor trucks for baggage, express
and freight, and the trip is made al
most as rapidly as the trains, unless
a tire blows up.

Dogs in Hot Countries,

Dogs. probably the earliest of do
mesticated animals, when transferred
to a tropical country, such as central
Africa, lose in few generations most
of the characteristics they have ac-
CURED in Europe, and revert more and
more to the type of the iackal and the
wolf Then their ears, whatever their
breed, tend to become pointed, their
coats turn sandy or rufous, and their
bark becomes a howl. Some attempt
has been made to show that this is the
result of disease and resembles the
effect of malaria on the human con-
stitution. Yet the Egyptian dog of
Pharaonic times possessed. as is seen
by the monumfnts, these very charac-
teristics; and as he was certainly do
mesticated before the European ami
NAL, it is probable that these are ORR
ginal features of the race.

URGES DEER FARMS
TO FIGHT BEEF TRUST

Philadelphia, Pa.-Alfred M. Collins.
big game hunter, of this city, said
recently that in the raising of reindeer
in Alaska lies a possible weapon for
fighting the beef trust. He spoke at
smoker of the Philadelphia Alumni
Society of the University Of Pennsyl-
vania Medical School. held in the
Bourse.
Mr.. Collins declared that the 1900
reindeer taken to Alaska from Siberia
a few years ago by the United States
Government, had multiplied into 30
900. and there is no reason why they
should not increase to millions in a
short time, as the climate and Vegeta-
ton of Alaska are particularly favor
able to them. .
He urged that some action be taken
by the Government to preserve the
walrus in the water of the Arctic. The
Eskimos, he said, depend to a large
extent on the walrus for food, and in
late years the numbers of this animal
have been so depleted by hunters that
the Eskimos in many sections OF Alas.
ka are facing starvation.
Mr.. Collins deplored the fact that
missionaries had taught the Indians in
Alaska to build and live in log huts,
which, in the winter, are made Vlrtu-
ally alright, SO that the interior IS
sitting. This, he said, had caused the
rapid spread of tuberculosis, and as a
result the Indians are fast dying off.
When they lived in tents, he said,
they were healthy race.

ROMANCE IN LIVES

Fewer Than Four in Every Hundred

hiuh Position

High Position
New York.-The street waif who
grows up to be a great man in the
community has long been familiar in
fiction, but it has remained for the
Children's Aid Society of this city to
well. In fact, the story book hero
would have had hard time trying to
equal the record of some of the 121,.
302 real youngsters who have been
picked up in the streets of New York
during more than half a century OF
the society's existence.
Most of the 121,302 are now grown.
up men and women, and they are scat
tered al lover the country. But If
they could be rounded up, and, in ac-
cordance with the best story book ira
dition, brought back to the scenes of
their childhood, New York would have
something new to stare at.
Among them would be governor
of state, two members of congress,
two district attorneys, two sheriffs.
two mayors, a justice of the supreme
court, four judges, two college pro-
fessors, cashier of an insurance com.
pany, twenty-four clergymen, seven
high school principals, two school SUI
perintendents, an auditor general of a
state, line members of state legisla-
lures, two artists, a senate clerk, six
railroad officials, eighteen newspaper
writer's, thirty-fopr bankers, nineteen
physicians, thirty-fve lawyers, twelve
postmasters, six railroad officials,
three contractors, ninety-seVen teach
ers, four civil engineers, and any num-
Der of business and professional men,
clerks, mechanics, farmers and their
wives, and others who have acquired
property and filled positions of honor
and trust. Nor would the rollcall be
complete without mention of two army
officers and five thousand soldiers and
sailors in their cOuntry's service.
Out of every hundred boys whom
the society has helped fewer than four
have turned out failures, according to
the records. Only one in 400 has COM
mitted some petty crime and been ar.
rested, while nine of the 400 have left
their homes and disappeared. Eight
out of every hundred boys sent to the
country have been returned to New
York for one reason or another, but
this does not necessarily represent a
failure in each case. The society's
figures show that 81 per cent. of all
its children are now doing well.
Street boys are not sent direct to
the farms, but fist are trained for
such work at the Brace Memorial
Farm of $50 acres, two miles north of
Valhalla, N. Y. Out of the LOCI boys
sent to the farm last year 555 proved
worthy to be placed on regular farms
after six weeks of training, the older
ones receiving wages at once. OF the
remainder, 1856 turned out to be run.
Always and were persuaded to return
by their parents, while the rest were
sent back to New York as unfit for
good homes"
