PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24.-Every
important point of the city's water
system was placed under guard today,
visitors being barred from all places
of sightseeing interest.
According to Carleton e. Davis,

"The authorities" he said, "are con-
fident that all citizens are going to be
loyal Americans, but we cannot close
our eyes to the fact that enemies of
order exist in every community"

INTERESTS EDUCATORS

Attorney General Harry L. Patton
has written an opinion which is of
much interest to the department OF
education officials and to educators
throughout the state. He calls atten-
ton in a letter sent to H. r. Parsons.
at Fort Sumner, to the fact that the
New Mexico statute prohibits a mem
Der of the board of education from
being "a party, directly or indirectly,
to any contract" and also prohibits
him from being interested in any con.
tract. A husband, for instance, can
not, while The is a member Of the
board of education, sign a contract
to have his wife employed by that
board. II he does, it is void.
On commenting on Section 2759.
Code 1915, that 'the earnings of the
wife are not liable for the debts of
the husband" Mr.. Patton calls atten-
ton to section 2764 which says: "All
other property acquired after mar
riage by either husband or wife, or
both, is community property" Mr..
Patton adds that he is of the opinion
that "the earnings of the wife, while
living with her husband, are com
munity property"

RECLAMATION SERVICE
UPHOLDS PATTON IN
DAN FISH RULING
CHIEF COUNSEL RULES FISHER
MEN AT ELEPHANT BUTTE
MUST COMPLY WITH NEW MEX
ICO LAWS

The contention of Attorney General
Harry L. Patton that those who fish
in the Elephant Butte reservoir must
procure New Mexico licenses has been
fully sustained by the chief counsel
of the United States Reclamation Ser
vice. F
In the official publication Of the
Reclamation Service it is stated that
the chief counsel, on August 3, last,
in a letter to District Counsel p. w.
Dent, held that those who angle in the
Elephant Butte lake for fish pro-
tected by the New Mexico law must
comply with that law. In other words,
they must secure fishing licenses be-
fore fishing.
Mr.. Patton's opinion on Elephant
Butte fishing was written on July 5.
Mr.. Dent took exception to 1t, holding
that the reservoir was government
property and not within the jurisdic-
ton Of the state.
In his letter to Dent the chief coun-
sci Of the Reclamation Service went
on to say that the mere fact that a
person has a state license does not
of itself give that person a right to
fish in the reservoir, as he must also
have the consent Of the United States
government. This point was never
questioned by Mr.. Patton.

TRIAL OF ALLEGED
SLAYER OF DEPUTIES
STARTS AT CLAYTON
GRAND JURY RETURNS FIRST DE-
GREE INDICTMENT; PRISONER
ENTERS PLEA OF NOT GUILTY

Clayton, N. M, Sept. 1.-THE trial
of Charles Earnest Long for the muir
der of Deputy Sheriffs e. R. Gentry
and Pablo Baca, will open here tomor-
row before Judge Leib. The grand
jury returned an indictment against
Long for first degree murder and he
was arraigned in open court. Long
appeared strong and healthy and
showed no ill effect from the wound
inflicted by Deputy Gentry. After
having the indictment read to him
twice, claiming that he had not heard
the first reading, Long, in answer to a
question Of the court, plead not guilty.
Long was then asked by the court if
he had counsel, and answered no. In
answer to the question IL he could pro-
cure counsel he said that he could, and
was directed by the court to do so and
to be ready for trial on Thursday, the
18th inst. This will be the most i'm
portant case heard at this term of
court.
Bernard Ziegelaar, heretofore In
dicted for the murder Of his wife, plead
guilty before Judge Leib to murder in
the second degree. This plea was made
by arrangement Of Ziegelaar's counsel
with the district attorney. AS a result
ziegelaar is expected to spend the re-
mainder Of his life in the penitentiary.
Because of the insanity plea it was
practically conceded that Ziegelaar
would never be hung.
Gambling and gamblers are meeting
with small favor at the hands of
Judge Leib. Four men appeared be-
fore the court and plead guilty to in
dulging in some form of gambling.
They were Immediately lodged in Jail
to await sentence. The fourth, Ira
Crisp, was fined $50 and sentenced to
so days in Jail, the Jail sentence to
stand suspended during good behavior.

substantiate the allegations the alleg
ed falsity Of which gave rise to the

rule for which the learned district at
torney appeared to be contendine
would gag every newspaper in the
country engaged in campaigning
against corrupt political bosses, since
If 1t were contempt to continue such
filed the boss could throttle every
newspaper by filing ~ill-founded libel
suits when his methods were exposed,
Mr.. Mason then offered to present
the authorities or file a memorandum
OF them. The court gave no indica.
ton of its desire in this respect but
proceeded to sentence the editor.
After the court had seatenced the
defendant editor and the hearing was
apparently about to be closed, Judge
Wright arose and respectfully called
the attention of the court to the fact
that he believed a matter of alleged
contempt in filing the answer was
pending and asked the court to take
1t up. Judge Wright took full respon-
sibility for the answer, part of which
the court held to be contemptuous.
Judge Wright, being asked If he had
anything further to say, stated that
every defense in the answer was sup
ported by authorities and he would
state as an officer of the court that
the answer was drawn after mature
consideration; that he had already
said all that could be said; that he
had stated it was as he believed his
duty to his clients who had request
ed him to set up the defenses; that
after consultation he believed the
pleadings valid and therefore was
unable to withdraw any part of them
at the suggestion Of the court with
out violating his duty to his clients.
He said he wanted the court to under
stand that there had been no attempt
to be contumacious and he had drawn
The answer in the honest belief that
1t was his duty so to do. He stated
with careful courtesy to the court
that this was all the apology" which
he was able to make and the court
apparently found this insufficient for
it announced that it fined Edward r.
Wright, Esquire" $50 for contempt
and that he was remanded to the Gus
tody of the sheriff until it was paid.
Judge Wright thereupon produced q
brand new $50 bill and rendered it to

tentative in view of the action of the
court but to pay the fine under pro-
test.
