KELLY TO TAKE
MOVIE VIEWS
OF THE GUARD

Lieutenant Jack Collins, recruiting
officer Of the New Mexico National
guard, stated today that w. G. Kelly,
of Kansas City, has announced his in
tention of taking moving pictures of
the guard Of this state SO that they
may be seen in the rural districts.
Some time ago Mr.. Kelly introduced
portable maving picture machines in
this state, for use in the rural dis
tricts, not only for the amusement
but also for the education of pupils.
Moving pictures of the New Mexico
guard were taken in Ell Paso when the
guardsmen were on their way to Co
lumbus in May, at the call Of the
president, but these pictures were not
shown in New Mexico. 1t is believed
that the action Of MI. Kelly may do
much to rouse an interest in the
guard and to instruct the public in
these localities where there are no
armories.

"There Is nothing concealed Or
covered up about the penItentlary
now" says Governor Mcdonald in a
letter to tie editor Of the carrizezo
News, In which he takes occasion to
declare that John B. McManus Is the
most capable and efficient superin-
tendent the ~penltentiary has ever had,
and to cite that the appropriation for
the maintenance of the penitentlary
Is the same as II has been since 1905,
Notwithstanding the fact that the num-
Der Of convlcts has doubled and the
cost Of all supplies greatly Increased.
An article originally printed in Jose
Montaner's Taos Valley News, and
copied by the Carrizozo Outlook, the
Republican weekly OF that place, was
responsible for the governors letter.
The article in question reflected on
the management OF the state peniten-
tiary. The letter Of Governor Nc
Donald follows:

Santa Fe Road against
Three Cent Fare In State
Can't Afford Ii, Position Of General Passenger
Agent; Other Lines in State No More Eager;
Informal Conference Held

The Santa Fe railroad, New Mex
co.'s principal carrier, is not at all dis
posed to grant a three-cent passenge'
rate in this state at this time. Thi'
was made clear this week BY ]. M.
Council, general passenger agent AZ
Topeka, at the informal conference Of
passenger officials of New Mexico
roads and the state corporation com
mission in the senate chamber at tht
capitol. The eagerness OF the othe'
railroads Of the state to carry passen
gers at three cents q mile, as indi
Gated by their representatives at the
conference, is exactly on a par with
that Of the Santa Fe.
"a According to Santa Fe figures, as
announced by Mr.. Connel this week,
the average intrastate passengers
per train in New Mexico is only eight,
and 1t costs considerably more tc
transport them than the revenue re-
ceived. He estimated the average pas
senger fare in New Mexico, consider
ing reduced excursion, mileage and
round-trip rates, at three and one-half
cents.
This weeks conference vas cal
led by the state corporation commits
sion for the discussion of passenger
rate establishments and reductions in
New Mexico, and eight of the princi'
pal transportation systems Of the state
were represented. The discussion was
wholly informal, but the railroad off
cials manifested a willingness to
meet the commission half way on ques-
lions Of round-trip rates and rate re
adjustments. and a number of reduc-
stions probably will be brought about
without, the necessity Of a formal hear
ing and order. A suggestion for a
general 10 per cent reduction on round
trip tickets was madef and taken un-
der adyisement by the Santa Fe and
other railroad representatives, and il
is believed that such a concession may
be secured.
The conference opened at 10 O'Clock

SANTA FE TEACHERS DO WELL

The papers of the teachers who at

lieyed 25 per cent more teachers pas
sed the examination this year than

It is believed that Santa Re county

MARION AND WOOD
CASE TO Be TRIED
IN ALBUQUERQUE
Formal Accusation Is
Filed by Attorney
General Today
ATTORNEYS DENY
WRONG CONDUCT

The formal accusation in the dis
barment proceedings instituted by the
state board Of bar examiners against
Owen N. Marion and Francis y.
Wood, Albuquerque attorneys, was
filed in the supreme court this after
noon by Attorney General Frank w,
Clancy. Under an agreement entered
into by the attorney general, the an
swer was filed at the same time by
Judge Edward r.. Wright, attorney for
Marion and Wood, and according to
present plans the case win be tried in
Albuquerque next week, opening there
Monday.
The trial Of the case in Albuquerque,
instead of in Santa Fe. will be with
the object of saving the expense of
bringing Albuquerque witnesses to
this city. Due to the fact that Chief
Justice Roberts Is conversant with
some of the details Of n of the cases
now involved in the disbarment pro-
c~eedings, having discussed them in
formally with the Albuquerque attor-
neys some time ago, he will not sit
with the court in the disbarment pro-
ceedings, and District Judge CJlin
Neblett Of Silver City, is being asked
to take his place. Justice Richard II.
Hanna and Frank Nv. Parker win go
to Albuquerque for the trial.
The formal accusation of Attorney
General Clancy reviews the charges
filed by the state board of bar ex-
aminers. The law makes it incumbent
upon him to move for disbarment when
charges are filed with him by the bar
examiners.

ATTORNEYS DENY AMY
UNPROFEsslONAL CONDUCT

The answer OF Marion & Wood, fill
ed this afternoon, denies absolutely
all charges Of unprofessional conduct.
1t agrees as to some of the facts cited,
but makes an explanation of them. In
the case of Chadwick VS.. Emerson, in
which it was charged Mr.. Wood con
cealed a contract under a desk blot
ter in the clerks office, it is declared
that the contract was not concealed,
that it was fully disclosed that the
document was in Mr.. Woods custody
although not in the court room.
In the ease of the Albuquerque
Pressed Brick and Tile company, At
torney Wood denies that there was
any understanding, stipulation or
agreement between him and the
court in reference to the default judg-
ment.
In reference to the libel case Of
Mrs. Agnes Averyt against the Albu-
querque Morning Journal, Attorney
Marion declares that Mrs. Averyt
agreed that they should retain $1,000
Of the $3.50 secured from the Jour
nal as a compromise settlement. He
estimates that had Mrs. Averyt al
lowed the case to go to trial, a 1udg-
ment four times as great would have
been secured, half of which Marion
and Wood would have retained under
their agreement.
In the case Of Mrs. Anna M. Edgar,
Attorney Marion asserts that Mrs.
Edgar agreed to a fee of $1,000 in
case a fair share Of her property
rights, estimated at $4,000, could be
secured in the divorce proceeding.
The fee paid to Marion by Mrs.
Edgar's husband was $500. An at
tempt to collect an additional $500
from Mrs. Edgar was made.
The denials of Marion and Wood
in the Garcia case and in connection
with the allegations relative to the
publication Of Judge Pope's opinion
in the Albuquerque Herald are the
same as made in the u. s. court.
In connection with the case of Mrs.
Belle O'Connor Prairie, Marion and
Wood assert that they refused to turn
over the money secured in damages
from the A. T. & S. f. railway for the
death Of Charles O'Connor, because
Mrs. O'Connor Priarie was unable to
furnish satisfactory bond; and they
felt that their allegiance was to her
child, in whose name the suit was
brought. They cite that the judgment
amounting to $4,000 was turned over
to L. R. Goehring, of the American
Savings Bank and Trust Co., who sue
Mrs. Prairie as guardian.

RAN PARTNERSHIP ON
OWN HOOK, COMPLAINT
IN BIG LAND SUIT
MEMBER OF FIRM, IN ACTION IN
VoLvING LARGE RIO ARRIBA
TRACT, CLAIMS HE WAS LEFT
OUT OF DEAL

Al suit involving title to a large
tract Of land in Rio Arriba county was
filed in the U. 8. district clerks court
today by Attorney A. B. Renehan, of
Santa Fe, and Rogers, Ellis & John
son, attorneys Of Denver, representing
jeremiah P. Looney, plaintiff. The de-
PENDANT Is John Looney. The object
Of the suit is to dissolve the copart-
nership Of plaintiff and defendant
which existed, 1t is alleged, under the
name of the "Looney Brothers" and
that an accounting be made of the
financial relations Of plaintiff with de-
PENDANT.
In his complaint, plaintiff states
that on August IL. 1912, he and de-
PENDANT agreed to purchase a tract Of.
$3.50 acres from the Arlington Land
company for $12,O96, the terms being
the payment of $1,000 cash and the
balance in three equal i~nstallments.
Plaintiff alleges that the sum Of
$1,000 was paid down by him and that
when the deal was about to be closed
the defendant, who resides in Illinois,
suggested that title be invested in de-
PENDANT, giving as a reason that some
litigation might develop with the Ar
.lington Land company, and that it
would be desirable to bring such liti-
cation in the federal court. Plaintiff
alleges that he agreed to this arrange
ment and the title was vested in de-
PENDANT. He states that defendant
did bring a suit against the land com
pany, but alleges that in 1914, with
out consulting plaintiff, defendant
compromised it and entered into a
new contract with the Arlington Land
company to get the $3.50 acre tract in
his own name and to add 3777 more
acres to it. Plaintiff states that this
additional purchase of land was not
for the benefit of the co-partnership,
however. Plaintiff alleges that he has
furnished in all the sum Of $3.50 in
cash toward the co-partnership and
that the defendant has been conduct
ing the affairs of the co-partnership in
an extravagant manner, refusing to
make any accounting.
Wherefore, the plaintiff asks that
the $3.50 acre tract be adjudged and
decreed the property Of the partner
ship, that a receiver be appointed for
the property which, he alleges, is
named "The Horse Lake Ranch COM
pany." situated in Rio Arriba county
between the TERRA Amarillo land
grant and the Jicarilla Apache Indian
reservation.
