make possible the immediate release
Of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
railroad from the receivership under

for the assessment on the common
stock, except that the preferred for
the debentures will bear six per cent
rate. The plan can be modified To

AMERICANS PLAY SAFE

Headquarters u. S. Army, Nami-
quipa, Mex, May %, by wireless--The
Carranza garrison at MADEIRA contin-
ues to resent the presence of the U.
s. soldiers and is stirring up the civ
ilians and soldiery, doing its utmost
TO arouse an anti-American feeling,
according 20 reports reaching Gen.
Pershing. The American expedition
remains practically inactive, though
cavalry detachments are doing patrol
work south Of headquarters.
Carranza forces in the field seem to
be giving the Americans q wide berth.
None are camped near headquarters,
nor near the line of communication. A
small detachment of Mexicans remain
in the vicinity Of San Antonio and at
Colonia Juarez.
Gen. Pershing states that while ap-
preciating the offers Of women in the
states 20 send candies and o.her luXu-
ries, the army has had full transpor-
tation Of field necessities, has an am
pie supply of clothing and socks and
is supplied with everything consistent
with conditions. Sickness remains at
the minimum.
The arrival of dental outfits is now
relieving tooth sufferers of whom
there are many.

RAILROAD TO LAS VEGAS

Las Vegas. N. NJ, May 19.-The di-
rectors of the Commercial club learn
ed at their regular monthly meeting
this week that there Is a likelihood of
the Rock Nsland being extended from
Tucumcari to Las Vegas. provided the
commercial interest of this community
and Of Oklahoma City will work to-
gether to secure such desirable de-
velopment. The directors were in
formed that Oklahoma packers annu-
ally are handling larger quantities of
New Mexico livestock, and that they
are anxious to get into this section Of
the state. They have been bringing
some influence TO bear upon the road
10 extend its line to Las Vegas, and
arc of the belief that action by busi-
ness interests and cattlemen Of this
section, cooperating with action taken
in the Oklahoma metropolis, will bring
about the building Of the extension.
The club, realizing the value of such
line to Las Vegas, Immediately will
take up the matter of concerted ac-
tion with Oklahoma City. Las Vegas
long has been anxious TO bring Okla
homa business and tourists here, and
Rock Island extension from Tucum-
carl would help do it.

DEMOCRATIC VOTES INCREASE

Santa Fe, May 2H.-The recent Dem
ocratic primaries in Chavcs and Eddy
counties resulted in showing Of a
greatly increased Democratic strength
and served TO emphasize the oppor-
tunity that this year confronts the
Democracy of New Mexico. In Chaves
county more than 2000 Democratic
votes were cast, or approximately
1000 more than the highest number
cast in the first state election, and in
Eddy county the total was close 10
the heaviest vote in 1911. At the
presidential election in 1912. and the
congressional election in 1914, the vote
in both counties was less than that
cast for the first state ticket. IL is n
matter Of record that many new vot.
ers have settled in other sections of
the state during the last few years,
and that increased democratic strength
likewise exists in several other coun-
ties, among them Quay. Union, Roos-
evelt, Curry, Colfax and Guadalupe.
In Santa Fe, few days ago, DR.. J. J..
Shuler, mayor Of Ration. who so de-
cisively whipped the Colfax county Re-
publicans in the recent municipal cleo
ton there. estimated the additional
Democratic votes in that northern
county at from 500 to TOO, and declar-
ed that they would enable Colfax to
register heavily on the Democratic
side at the November election. lie
said: "The Democracy Of Colfax coun-
ty will be united this year, and it will
make its influence felt in the Novem-
her results"
To take advantage of the oppor-
tunity presented by the increased vot :
ing strength this year, effective work
on the part Of Democratic county and
precinct organizations, and individual
cooperation on the part of the voters,
will be necessary. Obviously the adj
ditional Democratic votes will hc val
ueless to the party unless they are de-
posted at the polls in November. In
Democratic counties, where primary
nominations are equivalent to cleo
tion. and where local interest ends
when these nominations are made, ev-
cry voter must realize that Democrat
ic principles and policies, national and
state. will he Mt stake in November.

HEUBLER HELD
TO GRAND JURY
WITHOUT BAIL

Paul HeuUler, charged with the kill
ing of jeff Woodward at Logan two
weeks ago. was taken to Logan last
Friday where he was given a prelimi-
nary hearing before A. A. Jones, the
Justice of the Peace.
The state put on a number Of wit
nesses. but very little damaging tes-
timony was given. Heupier refused 10
make statement, therefore the trial
was of short duration. Judge Jones
found him gully as charged and held
him to the grand jury without bail.
He took his sentence calmly as though
he got what he had expected, and the
officers brought him back to Tucum-
carl to await the decision of the next
Grand jury which will be in October.
Heubler's wife was present at the
trial but was not called upon TO tes'
tify. II is understood that she ex-
poets to give in testimony that will
clear her husband, hut by the time
district court convenes in October II
is expected that both sides will have
their forces ready for n legal battle,

all the churches in great Union"
meeting. II was decided that each
pastor present to his people the plan

natural endowment Of person, head
and heart. His strong body, pleasing

liant intellectual eyes, and graceful
motions mark him as man of mag
netic person. The fiber Of his brain
being the hest, and thoroughly cul-
tivatcd enables him 70 make and sub
iect he cxpounds clear to all, even 10
the youngest hearers. His sermons
are models Of construction, scriptural
and classical in thought and language,
and his illustrations move TO tears
and action the hardest sinners. He
has tarried with God in the place Of
power"
Mr. Holder has for his singer n
young young man of unusual gifts as
soloist and choir leader, Mr.. J. Doug
las Swagerty. He is IA graduate from
the Temple Conservatory Of Music,
| Chicago. He is not only one Of the
greatest singers Of the day but he is

J. j. Duran. Union county, Max Mon
toya, Socorro county; W. i. Walton,
Grant county; Felix Garcia, Rio Ar

ELEVATOR FOR TU-
CUMCARI ASSURED

this will be used by them 10 congre-
gate their wheat there and then IL IL
proposed that 1t could be freighted by
one person by auto truck or by com
pany formed for that purpose. This
Is not a bad idea and perhaps Mr..
Light will be in position TO take this
matter up when he returns in n few
weeks. II this could be accomplished
then the elevator here would be sure
of receiving all the wheat from the
main producing country which Is about
twice as much as was raised last year.
II now begins to look like Tucumcari
and the farmers are casting every
thing aside that is not for their mu-
tual benefit.
Tucumcari business men have shown
their willingness to help the farmer
and the farmer has misunderstood.
Now it Is different and within few
weeks the march TO success and pros
perity will have begun and the pro-
cession will be increased from time 20
time. More wheat will be put in next
year and Mr.. Light has the financial
backing to take care Of ii in business
way. He has been located in and near
Liberal for many years, has grown up
with the west and knows what he
is doing. He's made q success every
where he has established an elevator,
therefore success will he hiT reward
here.
Mr.. Peterson is booster and will
help US in anyway possible. He is de-
sirous of prevailing upon eastern cap
ital to build another fiber factory in
Tucumcari and will work in conjunc-
tion with the local Chamber of Com
merce in trying to land factory of
this nature which will benefit more
people in Quay county than any other
one thing.
The meeting last night shows the
citizens Of Quay county are ready TO
get together and do something in or
der to make this town and county
grow and amount to something. One
Of the gentlemen present last night
said there was man here who was
only waiting to see whether the ele-
vator would be built or not. He in
tended to invest in property if it was
built, but If it fell through he would
not invest in property. Now we have
landed the elevator and are proud of
II there is no use stopping there. Go
after something else and get it, the
more the merrier.

RAILROAD !. N. c.
A. MAY Be BUILT At
COST or S25,OOO.OO

Interstate Secretary Day, Of III Paso
was here last week looking over the
proposition of establishing Y. NJ. e.
A. in this city. He was well pleased
with the outlook and intends to meet
the head officials and talk the matter
over with them.
II is figured that If the city will
raise $4,000 for that purpose, the
Railroad Company will put up $4,000
and combination building will be
built by the city and railroad, thus
making il so that all citizens would
be eligible TO membership.
Among the things proposed to build
in connection with a large auditorium.
are swimming pool. gymnasium,
club rooms, reading room, bath and
other necessary rooms. These alone
are worthy Of consideration, but taken
as whole there is nothing like a good
Y. NJ. c. A. as a community builder,
morally, physically and otherwise. The
boy who spends his evening in the Y
NJ. c. A. enjoys the best companion
ship; Everything is clean and whole
some. If Tucumcari builds a Y. NJ.
c. a. it will be the best move she ever
made.

House four promising young demo-
Gratis will debate upon the subject of
whether the Women of New Mexico
shall he allowed the right TO vote.
These young men have been study
ing this question and may not believe
the wcy they talk next Monday night
but this should be an interesting topic
and the ladies are earnestly requested
to come out and hear the debate.
Regular business matters will be
laid aside or very little will be done
so that the big doin's will commence
shortly after eight o'clock. The boys
have requested that their names be
withheld in order that someone might
try to Influence them to not talk In
unfavorable terms against the right
Of suffrage for the women who are
old enough to vote.
Don't miss this debate but consider
yourself specially invited TO attend

der the firm name Of the former. The
combined capital of these firms will

huge scale, making the firm one Of
the strongest in eastern New Mexico.
They will erect another elevator soon

the undertaking they will erect flour
mill. They have also acquired the
Melrose elevator, and will erect ele-
vators at Portales and Elida. The

\ rouSing meeting Of business men
was held at the city hall last night to
talk over the elevator proposition and
close deal with Mr.. Light Of Liberal
Kansas. Mr.. Light was here and Mr..
Petersen, special Rock Island freight
agent Of Amarillo, was also present.
1t was definitely decided to buy the
site decided upon by Mr.. Light and a
committee was chosen to raise the
amount necessary TO pay for same.
Sometime ago different site was
elected but there was some difficulty
in making it the location, so another
was chosen in its stead which will cost
.cvcral hundred dollars more. This
location meets with the approval Of
every citizen of Tucumcari and Mr..
Light believes IL suitable, so the con-
tract will be closed within a few days
when the deed will be placed in es-
crow for the lots. The contract will
call for the operation of the elevator
Tor at least FIVE years. II Mr.. Light or
his heirs, assigns or devisees fail 10
operate the elevator for a period of
five years or more this land will di-
vert back to those who donated II to
hem. This makes all parties safe
and assures the citizens Of Tucumcari
they are dealing with men who under
stand their business and believe in
the future of Quay county as n grain
producing country.
Mr.. Light says work will be COM
mencei about June IL and large
force Of men will be employed so that
the elevator will be completed and
ready for service before August LIST.
lie arrived in Tucumcari Tuesday
night and made another trip to the
wheat belt Wednesday. He says the
prospects here are much Better than
in Southwest Kansas and he is elated
at the flattering hopes Of bumper
crop this year. Rye is almost ready
for the harvest and wheat is m .cn
farther advanced than II was at this
time last year.
Money has already been raised with
