The murder OF Hartwell was long a
mystery. He was alone in his editorial
Office at the time. The reports OF the
revolver were heard by the Office boy,
who rushed in to find Hartwell expir-

lice was the fact not merely that he
had been shot with his own revolver,

had torn through the front OF the

DRESIDENT Wilson is plan
l. ing to make his delayed
trip to the San Francisco expo
sition as soon as foreign affairs
permit. His advisers, it has
become known, are very an
xious to have him make a num-
Der of speeches in different parts
of the country before the open
ing Of the next session Of con-
gress.
Just when the trip will be
made is still uncertain. Secre-
tary Daniels wants the president
to 60 through the Panama canal
with him in July, but there has
been no decision on this point
and the western journey is ex-
pected to be made later.
Friends Of the president say
the contemplated trip cannot be
called a Campaign tour" and
they are preventing, as far as
possible, the formation of evil
son clubs' to avoid even the
appearance of starting a boom.
Although the political advis-
ers of Mr.. Wilson say privately
that they have no doubt that he
will be renominated, it has been
indicated that there will be no
formal launching Of his candi-
dacy, as such a step might en-
barrass him in carrying out the
policies Of his administration.
On the western trip the presl-
dent is expected to explain the
Legislative program he will lay
before the next session of con-
gress including conservation
bills, the Philippine bill, the
Colombian a d Nicaraguan
treaties, budget reform and pro-
baby senate cloture.

C ANITA FE, N. NJ. April r. =
~ A sensation rippled over
~ the capital city Saturday
when it was learned that the
federal grand jury which was in
session last week, had returned
indictments against Fish and
Game Warden Trinidad de Baca,
Elfego Baca, Monico Amanda,
Carlos Armijo and Perflio Save
dra, all of Albuquerque, on the
charge of aiding General Inez
Salazar in escaping from Jail in
Albuquerque, where he was held
as a U. S. prisoner on the charge
of perjury. Game Warden Trini-
dad de Baca, who gained a state
wide reputation last fall when
the State Record exposed his ex-
horbitant expense account for
mileage while travelling over the
state, in a handsome touring car,
and his enormous APPETITE that the
protector of wild life in New
Mexico possessed, when it was
shown by vouchers filed with his
expense account that he had been
consuming five square meals a
day at the most up-to-date hotel
in Denver, and that the tax
payers of this state are paying
the bills, was arrested Saturday
evening and gave bond in the
sum of $4,000 for his appearance
at the next term of federal court.
Warrants for the arrest of the
others indicted with Mr.. de Baca
have been issued and will be
arrested Immediately.
Armijo is charged with opening
the cell in the Albuquerque Jail
and allowing Salazar to be taken
out. Game Warden de Baca and
Monico Amanda, together with
Celestino Otero, the Spaniard
killed by Elfego Baca in Ell Paso
some time ago, are charged with
having taken Salazar out of jail
and removing him to a place of
concealment, while Elfego Baca
and district attorney Vigil are
charged with conspiracy. The
evidence, it is understood was
furnished by Mrs. Celestino Ote,
ro, the widow of the SpaniarC
killed by Elfego Baca in Ell Paso
Owing to the prominence of the
men, and the fact that de Baca is
a state official, the case is causing
considerable interest both over
the state and abroad.

ITALIANS are warned by

the "maneuvers Of beiligcrents
in aiming to emphasize the pos
sibility Of a separate peace be-
tween Austria-Hungary and
Russia, with a view to hasten
ing the intervention Of neutral
countries out of fear Of being to
late
"The forces Of the two sec
tions of Oelligerents,' says the
Giornale d'Italia, care not yet
so equal that either is likely to
lose hope, if not triumphant, Of
at least ending the war with de-
corum. A feeling remains,
therefore, to continue the strug-
gle, united by reciprocal, mill
tary and political necessities"
"This union especially is
close between the central en-
pires. Austrian rebellion to
Berlin's will is incredible, be-
cause if it happened, it might
cost Austria the loss OF her Ger
man provinces, already con-
sidered in Germany as natural
appendage to Bavaria; while if
Germany considered a separate
peace convenient, that course
would be a prelude to a general
cessation OF hostilities." "

treat with German, French Brit
ish and American consuls from
Guanajuato regarding the exit
from Celaya Of women and chill
dren, according to d statement
received from Gen. Villa, who is
preparing to lombard the town.
The Carranza commander was
quoted as having answered that
he did not consider necessary
the interference Of foreigners in
our affairs" No further fight
ing was reported. Villas tele-
gram was sent from Irapuato.
An extensive move from the
west against Irapuato, to be
made in cor junction with Gen.
Obregon's attack from the di-
rection Of Celaya, is now well
under way, according to Car
rama advices to the border.
This new movement according
to the advices received, is being
made from the state Of Michoa-
can and is under the command
of Gems. Dieguez and Sanchez.
Following the fighting around
Guad4lajara, the two generals
and their forces retired on La
Piedad, on the Michoacan-Gu-
anaiuato state line. From this
point the railroad leads direct to
Irapuato and the Carranza ad-
vices state that the town OF Pen
iamo, six stations from lrapuato,
has already been occupied.
Besides this force operating
from the west, Carranza advlces
state that Dolores Hidalgo, tc
the east Of Irapuato, has beer
occupied. The two movements
are designed to flank the Vllls
forces and also to threaten the
cutting Of communications with
Aguascalientes. The main at
tack is scheduled to be made by
Obregon, while the fanklne
forces simply keep the VllllSta'

lClColS VI I11C SOulAll lAlS
possibilities of oil development
in New Mexico, and the fact
that as far as state lands are
concerned the land commission
er now has authority to enter
into leases covering any amount
of ground, are being made by
Land Commissioner Robert P.
Ervien. Within a short time
he expects to send out letters to
all the important oil-producing
concerns of the United States.
House Bill No. 3l8, passed
by the last Legislature, amended
Section 40, Chapter 81, Of the
Laws Of 1912, SO as to remove
the restriction en- the amount Of
state land that can be leased to
any Individual or concern for
the purpose of oil exploration
or development. AS passed in
1912 the law provided that not
more than one section should be
leased by the land commission
er; as amended, there is no re-
striction whatever as to the
amount Of land, and any acre
age desired can be granted by
the commissioner, if he is salts
fed that the concern applying
for the land means to prospect
it thoroughly. In the Lake
wood district of Eddy county
the Dohney interests OF Los
Angeles, whose operations in
California and Mexico have
placed them among the most
important oil producers Of the
world, withdrew after extensive
drilling on the ground that they
were unable to lease a sufficient
amount of land to warrant them
continuing their operations.
Mr.. Ervien is convinced that
oil in commercial quantities ex-
lists in several sections OF the
state, and that conditions favor
able to the oil men will result
in exploration work that will de-
velop it. The removal OF the
restriction in connection with
state leases makes it possible fol
him to present a much more at
tractive proposition to oil pro-
ducers as far as state lands are
concerned. House Bill No
318 provides that five per cen
of the gross value Of any oil o.
gas developed under state lease:
shall be paid to the state.
