German Surgeon De-
clares Splinters From
Them Poisonous

NEW YORK. June 30.-(Special.)
"A cable TO the New York Times
from its correspondent who Ia at
the western front with the great
German army under Crown Prince
Rupprecht. OF Bavaria. says he finds
the most intense feeling among the
oflicers and men over the alleged
shipments OF American ammunition.
because so per cent OF the heavy
casualties are being caused by shell
and shrapnel are. He said the sur.
geons had . very special grievance.
alleging the French we're using pois.
onous American shells and that in
many cases even slight wounds re-
suited In terrible infection. causing
quick death. They said they were
absolutely unable TO save men
wounded by poisonous splinters.
The surgeons had all read the
sensational advertisement of alleged
poisonous shells by the Cleveland
automatic machine company which
was published In . New York trade
paper and which has made the
rounds OF the German press. They
said their observations seemed to
agree with the symptoms and the
description OF the new shells as set
forth in that advertisement.
NEW YORK, June 30-(Special.)
The Cleveland Automatic Machine
company mas already explained that
the advertisement in It's name of
poisonous shells for sale was an
error. In sending copy for the ad-
vertisement il was said an article
on poisonous shells was included
ana part OF this went into the ad-
vertisement through a misunder-
signling.
Not only that. but II is authorita-
lively stated here by agents of the
allies that no shells bought in this
country have as yet found their way
to the firing line In France. and
that 80 far comparatively none OF
the shells ordered here for the
allies have been completed or ship

BOTH SIDES SATISFIED

London, Eng. July li.--Four hun
dred and fifty thousand square miles
of German colonial possessions have
been occupied by the entente allies
during the war. This official estimate
was announced today by A. Bonar Law
the British secretary of the colonies.
The German colonial possessions
seized include German Southwest AZ
rica, Germans territorial possessions
in China and an island or two in the
south Pacific. In the meantime, not
a foot Of Germany's home soil has
been conquered by the allies.
Germany also feels today some rea-
son for rejoicing. The official announce
ment from Berlin today says AZ mer-
chant ships were sunk by German
submarines in the month of June.
During the month Of June, 20 Brit
ish, three French, one Belgian and
nine Russian merchantmen were sunk
by German submarines.

THE TAX ROLLS STORY

The first of the county tax rolls for
1915 to reach Santa Fe are disappoint-
ing to the entire commission. il is stat
ed since they fall far below the COM
missions estimates of increased as
sessment totals for the counties thus
far reported. II was feared that some
thing of this kind would happen when
the Bursum tax commission law was
enacted by the last legislature, after
after few members of ~ legisla-
ture had worked faithfully but use
lessly for sixty days to secure enact
ment of real taxation law.
If other counties in the state fall
down ms did Mora county in total as
sessment return this state during the
next fiscal year will be confronted
with deficit which will he a little
short of staggering.
There are indications. too, that the
other counties will do little better than
Mora county in the way of increased
assessments, which increased back
wards by about $l50,000. There is the
case of Socorro county where two Of
the principal sheep owners have been
successful in inducing the county com
missioners to reduce the count of their
sheep by 5000 and 5000, respectively,
from the number estimated against
them by the state tax commission.
This represents loss to the tax roll
of S34, 200 in one instance and $4,000
in the other. The worst of il is that
the tax commissions sheep returns
are based on figures of dipping count
and inspection which are supposed to
be accurate. Yet the Socorro county
board acted promptly and made these
huge cuts without batting an eye.
Something of this sort also was fear
cd when the Bursum tax commission
law was enacted.-AIbuquerque Her

JOHN ". LOGAN HURT

The news was brought to town this
Thursday, morning that Mr.. J. N. Lo-
gan, the mail carrier Of the star route
leading south from Montoya had re-
ceived injuries by a runaway team
that may result seriously for the old
gentleman. The detail of the accI-
dent are about as follows:
Mr.. Logan had stopped to fix some
thing about the fore wheels of his rig
about one mile and half south Of
the caprock on top the mesa when the
team became unmanageable and be.
gan to run, entangling MIR. Logan in
the wheel and dragging him about n
couple of hundred yards, breaking his
leg in three places and bruising his
entire body up severely.
The two Arlington boys found him
soon after the accident occurred and
conveyed him to his home and came
TO town for medicine and assistance.
He is a man of about 65 years of age
and resides near where he was hurt.
He is mail carrier on the route from
Montoya to lima and points south. 1t
is difficult to learn of the extent of
his injuries at this hour but we trust
they may not prove fatal.--Montoya

EPISCOPAL RECEPTION

The reception given at the Episcopal
church last night was well attended
and after an interesting address de-
livered by Bishop Howden the new
Rector, Edward j. Hoering, was re-
ceived by the congregation.
DR.. Nichols, after giving the his
tory of the church at this place, in
which he gave "a vivid picture of how
the church was brought up to its pres
ent condition, in few we'll chosen
words he welcomed the new rector
in behalf of the congregation and the
citizens of Tucumcari.
A nicely arranged program consist
ing of readings, vocal and instrument
tai music together with the fine violin
solo given by Mr.. Hoering, was well
received. Ice cream and cake was
served by the ladies of the church and
at late hour all left for their homes
fully satisfied that they had enjoyed
"a pleasant evening in the little Mis-
sion which will no doubt grow and be
of great benefit to this city religious
ly and otherwise.

TOAD KILLS SNAKE

Mr.. Carman, who drives a huxter
wagon from this place to the plains,
told US yesterday of strange coin
cidence which he saw on his trip this
week.
A snake of the Coach Whip variety
had captured horned toad and in at
tempting to swallow it the horn on
the toad's head punctured the roof of
the snakes mouth and came through
the top. The snake tried in vain TO
swallow the toad or loosen it in some
way but could not accomplish it's pur-
pose. X had worn big place in the
road where it had coiled and squirm-
ed in its frantic attempt and finally
wore itself out and died.
Mr.. Carman cut the toad out and
he soon revived and seemed to be in
good way to recovery when left
at the side of the road.

MAY POSTPONE MEETING

The regular July meeting of the
state tax commission, scheduled to
open in Santa Fe next Monday, the
18th, may be postponed until early in
August in order to allow time for all
the county tax rolls to reach the COM
mission. The matter is now being
considered by the commissioners, and
if postponement is decided on one
of them will come here to make the
formal order. So far only one tax
roll--that of Mora county--has been
received by Secretary Howell Earnest
and it is probable that only few will
be received this week. After the rolls
are received the commission will be
in "A position to determine approxi-
mately the amount of revenue that
can be raised under the provisions of
the Bursum tax law.
An opinion holding that the COM
mission would have the right to ad-
journ any of its meetings was recent
ly given 7. j. Guilfoil, special ac-
countant for the commission, by At
torney General Clancy. Mr.. Guilfoil
Is conducting an investigation with a
view to getting additional property
on the tax rolls, and asked concern
ing the adjournment with view to
determining what time he might have
to conclude his work.

HEADLESS BODY FOUND

Carrizozo, N. M, July8.-The train
crew of the Golden State limited, due
here at 1850 yesterday morning
brought from mile-post l61, which
would be seventeen miles northeast of
this point, the remains of Mexican
which was lying on the track. Police
Judge Massie empaneled jury and
held an inquest over the body imme-
diately after the arrival of the train
and his notification by the conductor
of the train.
Engineer Frank Simmons and his
fireman were examined and it was as
certained from them that the body
was seen in sufficient time to bring
the train to a full stop, which they
did, bringing the remains to this place
The body was still limp, showing that
death had been recent. The head was
completely severed from the body, and
as testified TO by the trainmen who
picked up the body, both head and
body were lying close together on the
outside of the track. The corpse was
that Of an Old Mexico native, who
had been seen in Carrizozo the night
before and who had told some parties
that he was from Vaughn, N. NJ, and
was enroute to Aguas Calientes. He
had evidently mistook his directions
and boarded freight leaving the
yards here this morning about $3.50
northbound. 1t is presumed he fell
from the car he was riding and in
this manner met his death.
The finding of the inquest was that
he came to his death by being run
over by a railroad train. He had
nothing on his person except sack
of smoking tobacco, some cigarette
papers and one nickel. The county
buried the remains this afternoon.

Monday was the family row in
which "a lively time was experienced
during the trial of the case. The

so he had to hear the evidence and
decided different from what he had
anticipated the outcome would be.

of Nara Visa, came down with two
young fellows charged with stealing
cattle. One gave bond but the other
was unable TO give the desired amount

the hearing which will be held next

The case in which one of the Smith
boys was charged with concealing a
horse which was stolen from Mr.. J..
Helms of near San Jon, several months

evidence to convict him.
