MARCH ON WHITE HOUSE

satisfied that that was about all to be expected of Congress for one day the women marched on the White House. Up Pennsylvania avenue with some brass bands and fife and drum crops they paraded between lines of police who were under special instruc- tions to see that they were unmolested. The disorderely scenes of three vars ago when the suffrage parade was mobDed and the police stood powerless, were fresh in the minds of some os the women and they stepped with broad smiles of recollection of how they had forced Congress to investigate that in-r ciGent. Today some of the women rode horseback, but most of them walk ed bearing purple and yellow banners which were whipped by raw win tef wind.
 At the White House the 800 visit leaders marched into the east room and the remainder of the process @ waited outside during the interv "a with the President Miss Anne Ma t of Nevada and Miss Jolliffe VI spokesmen. The President listened tentively to their request that he Fs up suffrage in his address tomor and told them he found it imposs because his address was finished 18 he devoted it to another subject.
 All I can say with regard to " you are urging at present." he { a. lis thls: I hope I shall always ' an open mind and I shall certainly taka the greatest pleasure in comforting in the most serious way with my col leagues at the other end of the city with regard to what is the right thing to do at this time concerning this great matter am always restrained, as some of you will remember. by the conscious ness that I must speak for others well as for myself so long as l occupy my present office and therefore I do not like to speak for others until consult others and see what I am justi- fled in saying"
 The suffragist delegates will be in the capital until next Wednesday at tending the first national convention of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage. Many leaders of the national movement will be present.

TO ALLEVIATE SUFFERING

The letter which on the anniversary of the beginning of the war we addressed to the belligerent peoples and their rulers though it received q reverent hearing, it by no means produced the beneficent ef- fleets that were expected.
 "As vicar of Him who is the Peaceful King and Prince of Peace, we cannot be but moved by the misfortunes of so many of our children; we cannot but contin- ually raise our hands in application of the God of mercies entreating Him with our whole heart that He may. in His power. put an end to this sanguinary con flict.
 While we seek with s,ii our resources to alleviate the doleful consequences, we feel obliged by our apostolic office to in- culcato anew the only means which can

President Interviews Three Hundred Women in the
 White House
EQUAL SUFFRAGE BILL IS AGAIN INTRODUCED
Leaders Much Encouraged by Cordial Reception by Congressmen and President-Monster Petition Lost
 in Transit by Express Company

Washington, December 6.--woman suffragists brought their demand for q constitutional amendment to Congress again today and renewed their re- quests for support to President Will son.
 While the President declined 10 take up their cause in his annual address to- morrow, as they asked he promised to confer with Congress leaders over the amendment and from that assurance the women derived much encourage ment. Heretofore the President con sistently has held that suffrage was state issue. What effect, if any, the re cent defeat of suffrage in the elections in tue eastern states may have had on his attitude was not disclosed but the women were confident that their latest pilgrimage to the White House had been the most fruitful of all
 The Presidents interview with 800 women in the east room of the White House was the climax to a days dem onstration which included the presenta- tion of petitions to congressman, speeehmaking on the steps of the capi- tol, the introduction of the Susan B Anthony suffrage amendment in the House and pararde up Pennsylvania avenue to the White House.

A force of men and teams
have been busy during the past
ten days hauling dirt and grad
ing up the main street, which
has hitherto in flood times been
converted into a lake. This can
not happen again. Much of the
dirt placed in the street has been
obtained by widening and deep
ening the ditch running south
from the M. E. church, which
will divert much greater vol
ume of water in that direction,
and what seems like ample drain
age has been provided for the
business part of town. The
main street will be graded as far
north as the Jesse McGhee place,
and the street from the Hughes
Mercantile Co. corner to the
park will be graded. When this
work is completed we will have
two miles or more of we'll graded
streets, and the work is being
we'll done. Also the gravel walk
now under course of construc-
ton, when completed will make
a total of nearly two miles of
walk, including the cement walk
in the business part of town.
These improvements will add
greatly to the appearance of the
town, and will also add immense
ly to the convenience of those
who travel the streets and walks,
particularly during the wet
spells.

MEETINGS

DR.. Humbert and Prof. Fabiar
Garcia of the State College were
in Torrance county several days
this week, accompanied by Ccun
ty Agent Harwell. and held meet
lngs at several different places
in Estancia Wednesday evening
They had a we'll attended and
interesting meeting at Manzano,
and visited and talked with peo.
pie at that place, Torreon and
fatigue. They gave demonstra-
tions in tree pruning in number
of orchards along the mountain
side. There is no doubt that
Prof. Garcia S visit vii, simulate
interest in fruit growing in the
foothills country. He seems in
clined to be quite conservative
in his statements, but could not
repress his enthusiasm over the
great opportunities for fruit
growing in that locality. These
opportunities are yet to be taken
advantage of, but it is likely that
the coming of these men from
the State College and their dis
covery that here is an ideal To-
cality for a considerable fruit in
dustry, will result in develop
ment along that line.
In the Estancia meeting, which
was held in the evening, and
was attended al
most exclusively by town folks,
because the farmers and their
horses having put in hard
days work were too tired to
come to town, talks were made
by Mr.. Harwell, Mayor Stubble-
field, DR.. Humbert and Prof.
Garcia.
Mayor Stubblefield urged that
the town people should support
and second the efforts of Mr..
Harwell in every way, because,
while his work is not directly for
the town people, if he can sue
ceed in helping the farmers he
will in that way indirectly help
the town people,
DR.. Humbert's talk was short,
and touched but briefly upon the
professional side of his work.
He expressed surprise at the
great natural resources of the
which he is just begin
ming to appreciate as he becomes
better acquainted with it, and
intimated that he considers it
one of the finest undeveloped
regions with the greatest oppor-
tunities to be found in the state.
Prof. Garcia's talk was along
the line of his work, and in ad-
dition to the remarks quoted
above, stated his conviction that
it is not worth while for the peo-
Pile of this valley to try to raise
fruit by dry farming methods to
go upon the markets in competi-
ton with that of irrigated dis
tricts, but that it might be en-
tirely feasible to produce fruit
by that method for home con-
sumption. He says it has been
demonstrated that the small
glens produce the fin
est apples in the world, and it is
plain to be seen that he is in
love with the Manzano, foothills
as a coming fruit district.
In connection with the visit of
these men, Mr.. Harwell stated
that he knew it was not the best
time for public meetings which
farmers could attend, but he
could get them at this time and
not at another time in the near
future, and is we'll satisfied with
the results accomplised.

The Wall Street Journal states
that the directors of the Santa
Fe Gold and Copper company
have decided to resume work at
the San Pedro mines about the
middle of May. The company's
engineers report that they have
a large body of ore blocked out
that will run better than six per
cent in copper, and the ore is
known to carry quite an amount
of gold. This is much better
than the Chino, which claims on
ly LIS per cent of copper. The
opening of the mine is good news
for Santa Fe. Santa Fe Eagle.
