WILD Pigeons AGAIN
IN SANTA IF CANYON
GREAT GAME BIRD TO
Be RESTORED, HOPED
DOZEN or TWO SEEN ABOVE
FALLS YESTERDAY; AGITATION
TO IMPROVE ROAD up TESuQUE
CANYON

Wild pigeons, which twenty years
ago fluttered around in Santa Fe can
yon by hundreds, but which have been
practically extinct in the local woods
for some years past, have again made
their appearance, and it is hoped that
with careful conservation and protec-
ton they may propagate again to great
numbers. Local sportsmen have been
intensely interested in the report by
visitors in the canyon yesterday that
q dozen or two of wild pigeons, fairly
tame, were seen yesterday about a
mile above the first falls, or the begin.
ming OF the Lake Peake trail. The
birds are mating and given a proper
chance, there is not doubt that a sub
stantial increase in their numbers
viii be made during the season. The
Wild pigeon, now very scarce through.
out the state, is protected by law all
the year round and these birds in the
canyon will be kept under careful sur
veillance by the members OF the San
Ia Fe Game Protective Association, all
of whom hold COMMISSIONS as deputy
game wardens. The wild pigeon, blu
ish In color and as large as a large do
nestle pigeon is a splendid game bird
and affords magnificent hunting where
he exists in quantities. The birds are
quite rare in the state nowadays but
multiply rapidly when left alone and
the discovery that they have secured
a start in this section again is good
news to the sportsmen.
The Tesuque Canyon Road
Returning recreation-seekers in the
mountains yesterday who visited Te-
suque canyon, urge that some action
be taken to repair the public road up
the canyon. G. G. Catron, who owns
that portion of the canyon lying within
the Gabaldon grant and who has built
a pretty hunting lodge several miles
up, has the road in good shape for
autos, but in a number OF places where
trough" bridges have been built for
motor use it is said carriages have to
take the creek and that additional
bridges for non-motorists are needed.
1t is understood Catron is planning
further and important improvements
for the Identification Of the canyon on
his land, including a large pond to be
stocked with bass and other fish, and
will have the Rio Tesuque itself well
stocked with trout.

Tuesday and Wednesday. Dates and
place for the meeting were determ-
ined at a meeting Of the executive
board OF the organization held Satur-

WHITE TO SPEAK ON
MOVIES IN NEW YORK
ADVANTAGES OF PORTABLE MA
CHIMES SuPERiNTENDENT's
TOPIC OF N. e. A. MEETING I'M
JULY

"The advantages of Portable Nov
ing Picture Machines is the topic of
the address of State School 5uperin-
tendent Alvan N. White, of New Mex
leo, at the National Education Asso-
cations convention to be held in New
York next month.
The moving picture machine has for
years been a source of amusement,
but these machines have been large
and expensive. In the past few years
efforts to make a cheap, portable ma
chine have been successful and these
machines are used in the rural dis.
tricts to instruct and entertain pupils.
Mr.. White said today that Grant coun-
ty has six, Colfax eight, and Santa Fe
has one of these machines. The peo-
pie OF the east are curious to know
what success has attended their use
in the schools Of sparsely settled New
Mexico.
State School Superintendent Alvan
N. White has received a request from
Prof. j. w. Searson for information
concerning New Mexico's delegation
which win attend the sessions of the
National Educational Association in
New York in July. Mr.. White esti-
mates there will be rs educators from
this state at the convention. Two
counties already have agreed to pay
the expenses of their county school
superintendent to the convention.
There counties are Colfax and Berna-
lilo.
Mr.. White stated today that Prof.
Searson is in charge of the publicity
work o the convention and u%ndoubted-
ly will be kind to New Mexico, where
he is we'll known. He was one of the
speakers at the New Mexico state as
sociation's convention inl1911.
The New Mexico delegation will
have its headquarters at rooms 1902
1104, McAlpin hotel, Broadway and
S4th street, New York City. Right
next to the roof garden" said Mr..
White, in commenting on the location.
Nearly all the western states have
headquarters on the eleventh
floor Of the McAlpin and this plan
meets with the approval of local edu-
who will be glad to mix with
men from Colorado, Arizona, Utah,
California and other states of the Far
West and Southwest"

WOOD SUSPENSION
BY RAYNOLDS IS.
ORDERED VACATED.
Supreme Court Rules
Attorney Must Get
Day in Court

The state supreme court today grant
ed a writ Of mandamus instituted In
behalf Of Attorney Francis E. Wood,
ordering Judge Herbert f. Reynolds at
Albuquerque to vacate the suspension
from practice of Mr.. Wood, on the
ground that he was suspended on an
ex parte proceeding. The upper court
rules that a district Judge has the right
to suspend an attorney for fraud upon
the court, sueh as ls alleged by Judge
R%aynolds, but that the attorney may
be heard In his own defense.
The opinion follows:
The State of New Mexico, ok rel,
Francis ID. Wood, r~elator, VS.. Herbert
Reynolds, Judge, etc, respondent; No.
124 mandamus.
This is a proceeding in mandamus
instituted by the state on behalf Of
Francis 10. Wood, relator against the
respondent as judge or the Second jul
dicial district court, to compel him to
vacate and set aside a certain order
made by him suspending the relator
from practicing law in the courts OF
the said Second judicial district, until
the further order Of the court.
Writ of mandamus granted. The
sayllabus by the court Is as follows:
1. Each court of superior and gen.
eral jurisdiction possesses the power
to disbar or suspend an attorney for
~malfeasance or misfeasance in office,
as a. necessary incident to its organ
i~zation, and the legislative depart
ment Of the government, being only
equal and coordinate with the judi
ciaI, cannot deprive the courts of
such inherent power. Held, that a
district court has the power to sus-
pend an attorney from practice in
such court for fraud or deceit prac-
ticed upon such court, upon notice
and hearing until the supreme court,
upon a hearing had, either disbars
such attorney or restores to him his
right to proctice his profession.
2. Courts possess no power to dis
bar or suspend an attorney upon ok
parte proceedings, but such an attor-
ney must be given notice and have
full opportunity to be heard and de-
fend.
Opinion by Roberts, G. j., Frank w.
Parker concurring; Justice Hanna dis
senting.
