DEATH OF
FIRST RESIDENT

The handof the Grim Reaper
has claimed another of the early
and respected pioneers of south
ern Grant county. and possibly
the first white woman to set foot
IN Lordsburg, or the earlier camp
of this vicinity, Shakespeare.
Wednesday morning at 700 o.
clock Mrs. Orlando X. Smyth.
died of heart failure at her home
in this city, at the age of 72 years
For the past year she had been
failing in health owing to her
senility but neither her physician
or friends believed the end to be
so near. Wednesday morning
she had arisen for breakfast and
was suddenly taken with a severe
attack of heart tronble. Medi-
cal aid was summoned but the
end came at 700 O'Clock.
lnterment was made in the
Shakespeare cemetery Thursday
afternoon with funeral services
at the home conducted by Rev.
Fuller. A large number of
friends paid their last respects
to the deceased and many beauti-
ful floral offerings were sent as
tributes of esteem.
Mrs. Orlando K. Smyth (nee
Mary l.. Wells) was born June
9Th 1916 in Marion, Mo. On
November 4th 1873 she was mar
ried to Orlando K. Smyth, who
was manager of the National
Mail and Transportation Co., op-
Grating the stage line from St.
Louis, Mo-. to San Francisco,
Calf. Mr.. and Mrs. Symth
came to New Mexico in 1879
locating at Silver City, then a
stage point between Santa Fe, N.
M. and Tucson, Ariz. A year
later they moved to Shakespeare
g miles southeast of Lordsburg)
which was the next stage south
of Silver City. Upon coming to
this section Mrs. Smyth was
the first white woman to set foot
in southern Grant county. She
braved the early disadvantages
and Indian raids with her hus-
pand and was truly pioneer of
the West, Mrs. Smyth has lived
in LOrdsburg and vicinity ever
since that day. She was the
mother of four children: Stella
W. Rufus d. Ralph w. and AL
fred L.
She is survived by Rufus, of
this city and Alfred of Chicago,
Ill. Besides her sons a sister,
Mrs. A. w. Dunlap of San An
tonic, Mo. and niece, Miss Bes-
sic Salter, are left to mourn the
great loss. Miss Salter has been
a constant companion the deceas-
ed for number of years. Four
years ago, Mrs Smyth was de-
prived of the use of her eyesight,
the result of an attack of brain fe-
yer in her girlhOod. Though with
this sad infection, she remained
cheerful and happy at all times
and enjoyed her last years at
home with her attentive son and
niece.
To those who are left to mourn
their loss, the deepest sympathy
of the entire community is ex-
tended.

SAYS HOSPITAL SHIP
WAS PROPERLY MARKED
Russian Embassy Makes Report on
Torpedoing of Steamer Portugal
by Turkish Submarine.

The Russian embassy has made pub
lie a summary of the findings of a spe-
cial commission which investigated the
torpedoing of the Russian hospital ship
Portugal by Turkish submarine sew
eral months ago. The Ottoman gov
eminent claimed that the Portugal was
not properly marked to establish her
non-combatant character.
Following is the summary:
81. The Portugal was painted white
down to the water line, with broad
red strip along both sides; the tunnels
were also painted white, with large red
crosses on them, and at night there was
a cross of red electric lights. The Por-
tugal flew the fiag of the Red Cross at
the masthead
"2. These distinguishing marks were
so visible even from afar that the Rus
sian torpedo boat Smetlivy recognized
the Portugal when she appeared on the
horizon at a distance of about eight
miles
80 The pcriscope of the submarine
appeared first on the port side of the
Portugal, slowly went around the bow
and slowly followed for quite Il consld-
cradle time along the Starhoard side
and then, stopping at a distance OF
thirty or forty ajen"s t$eVentN or
ninety yards) from the Portugal fired
a torpedo which struck the steamer
amidship, opposite the engine room.
-. The prolonged stay of the sub
marine so near the Portugal excludes
the possibility that the officers and
crew would not see the distinctive
marks on the ship and also the sisters
of charity and the male assistants who
were standing on the deck in their
usual uniforms with the signs Of the
Red Cross.
-. The Portugal had in tow three
fla tboatS and one steam launch Spe-
cially provided for the transportation
of wounded from the shore to the hos
pital ship, and. the steam launch was
flying at the stern flag of the Red
Cross - by 10 feet square.
&c. The Portugal had been used to
transport not only Russian wounded,
but also Turkish, which has been
proved by list of the wounded trans
ported from Rich to Batoum on the
9Th of March. 1915. found in a desk
which had foated to shore from the
Portugal near the station of Kabou
Lefty"

The general officers at the headquar-

of preparedness. and they report that a

The success of any general scheme of
national defense. according to a state
ment made public by the chamber can
only be realized under a system of uni
versal military training. 1t is. never
theless. said to he the belief of the
committee of the chamber that the du-
ties of every citizen. great or small.
must be definite. and that there can be
no military organization in a great de-
mocracy such as ours which would be
either desirable or safe, much less ade-
quate. unless ii laid down for all time
the principle that equal rights mean
equal obligations. and that every citi-
zen must not only be willing. but also
able and prepared, to defend his coun-
try.
Whereas the essential question pre-
scented to the business organizations of
the country was to ratify or reject a
general plan of national defense. Elliot
H. Goodwin. the secretary of the ma
tional chamber explained. the refer
endum itself was divided into ten
recommendations to facilitate ballot

The referendum lays special empha =
sis on the fact that there should be no
