The most genuine qualification
was expressed at the marvellous
growth Of the public school system

commensurate with the growth of
Carrizozo and its varied other in
terests is an indisputable fact, and
the Governor expressed his especia!

Following the address by Gov.
Mcdonald, Supt. McCurdy made
public few pertinen. facts relative
to The workings Of the school and
the faithfulness of certain ones in
the student body. A number Of
cases Of perfect attendance, meaning
neither abseace or tardiness, during
the entire nine months, was noted
and commended by the superinten
dent. Mr. McCurdy also delivered to
the undergraduates. certificates of

by the colnmencemen season. The
accomplishments Of Miss Humph

strikingly shown by the beautiful
array OF potted geraniums which
lined the edge Of the stage.
The stage decorations showed
much good taste and persistent

WILSON WATCHES VERA CRUZ
American Government Preparing to
Take Action Enforcing Order in
Mexico Before Long.

Washington, July 6.-Miguel DiaZ
Lombardo, minister for foreign affairs
in the Northern branch of the Consti-
tutionalist government of Mexico, ar
rived here today to join Enrique @.
Llorente, Washington representative
of General Villa; General Felipe An
geles and Manuel Bonilla, former cabi-
net minister under Madero.
The Villa leaders have been confer
ring informally with officials and have
recorded their willingness to enter
into peace negotiations with General
Carranza hooking to the establishment
of a new provisional government
which might be given immediate rec
ognition by the United States.
The arrest of General Huerta and
the vigorous pursuit of his associates
has caused much satisfaction in both
Villa and Carranza quarters here,
where the evident sympathy of the
United States government for the fac
tions originally combined in the Con-
stitutionalists' move as against the
huerta element is referred to in terms
OF appreciation.
Government officials are hoping that
the efforts of the United States to pre-
vent revolutionary movements in Mex
leo will tend to bring the Carranza
and Villa factions together in prelim-
mary peace conferences. General Car
rama hitherto has been steadfastly
opposed to any conferences with Villa
or his representatives, but the arrival
in Vera Cruz of Charles A. Douglas,
legal adviser in Washington to Carran-
"a. is being counted upon to influence
the first chief to more conciliatory
attitude.
Mr.. Douglas knows that the Amer
lean government is not disposed to
await the outcome of Carranza's an
nounced program of attempting to
dominate his lenemies by force, since
such a process, it is held, might in
definitely prolong the fighting and of
fer no assurance of early peace. More
over, he knows that the United States
will refuse to recognize any govern
ment that is not the result of a coaIi-
ton of branches of the Constitutional
list party.
Washington officials are awaiting
the outcome of Mr.. Douglass mission
before undertaking the next step in
the situation

night by the explosion of a dynamite
bomb almost directly under the win
dows of Inspector Faurot of the detec-

The police are inclined to believe
that the bomb was set off by anar-

again showing their defiance of the

the anniversary of an explosion last

MORGAN'S ASSAILANT IS DEAD
NJ. Y.-Guards Tell Conflicting
Stories About Death.

Mineola. n. Y, July Frank Holt.
the Cornell university professor who
shot ]. P. Morgan in his home near
Glen Cove last Saturday, committed
suicide in the Jail here tonight
While several of the Jail authorities
declare that Holt killed himself by
climbing through the opening at the
top of his cell door and then plunging
to the narrow court below, Hollis
keeper says positively that the prison
er was killed in his own cell, where
he said he found the body.
There were many conflicting reports
as to the manner in which Holt met
his death, but it was definitely estab-
lished through DIR. Cleghorn, Jail ply
stefan, that Holt died of a fractured
skull
Several of those about the Jail said
they heard an explosion, the report
coming from Hollis cell This noise,
it was believed, was due to the falling
of boards from the top of his cell.
jeremiah Organ, the keeper de-
tailed to watch Holt, said he was If
teen feet from the cell when he heard
a loud report. He looked in the direc-
ton of the cell, but it was dark. En-
tering he found Hollis body in a pool
of blood in the corner.
An evidence of the great confusion
which followed the report and the
finding of Hollis body was a second
statement by Keeper Organ, to the
effect that he was not sure whether
Hollis body was found in his cell or
in the corridor. This tended to
strengthen the theory of District At
torney Smith and Warden Hulse that
Holt killed himself by jumping from
the top of his cell into the court be-
low, and that in doing so he dislodged
a couple of boards which fell to the
floor with a loud report.
The excitement that followed the
noise brought Warden Hulse and 9TH
er jail authorities to the scene Dis
trict Attorney Lewis ]. Smith and DR..

stables Immediately began investiga-
ton.

Network of Railroads Behind
Front in Poland Gives
Them Advantage.
GERMAN ADVANCE is CHECKED
kaiser's Troops Unable to Cut Warsaw
Arras Destroyed by Shell Fire.

London, July S--By the employment
of strong reinforcements the Russians
have temporarily, at least, checked
the Austro-German advance toward
the Lublin railway, which, if success
full, would seriously imperil Warsaw
The Russians yesterday claimed to
have inflicted serious defeat on the
Austro-German army in the region OF
Krasnik, while the Austrians tonight
state that the battle was invigorated
by the participation of strong Russian
reserves"
So far as communications are con-
cerned the Russians now have the ad-
vantage of positions as they have a
splendid system of railways by which
they can quickly move their troops
and guns to the threatened areas. This
battle has only just commenced, but
according to dispatches received in
Geneva from Austrian sources the
Russians have thus far had the best
of it and since Monday have inflicted
very heavy losses on the invaders.
These dispatches state that thousands
of wounded are continually arriving
in Lemberg, Przemysl and Jaroslau.
The much heralded German on
slaught in the West thus far has been
confined to the Woevre region, where
the army of the German crown prince
is on the offensive and making efforts
to regain the ground which it lost to
the French in April.
Arras Cathedral Burns.
The Germans have won some
trenches at the tip of the wedge, but
at other points, according to French
wit
heavy losses.
Artillery combatS continue from Ar
ras to the sea, and it is stated tonight
bardment Arras is in flames and its
famous cathedral destroyed. The Ger
mans also claim to have retaken the
trenches which they lost to the British
north of Ypres yesterday. However,
the fighting here appears to be desul-
tory, despite reports from Holland of
'ments for another effort to reach Ca
lais.
Turks RepuIsed.
The Gallipoh peninsula again has
been the scene of very severe fighting,
the Turks on Sunday having made
their third attempt within a week to
regain the ground which the allies
took from them in their last attack.
1t resulted, according to British and
French reports issued tonight, in the
complete discontinue of the Turks,
who are said to again have suffered
severely. The allies are only six miles
from the narrows of the Dardanelles,
but the country between is strongly
fortified and a gain of a few hundred
yards is all that can be expected at
one time. There is talk of a new COM
bined general attack by land and sea
forces.
