A civil case involving items of

day. A kind of tangled.up af-

Hillyer was counsel for defend
ant and Judge Alberti for plain
tiff. The debt being small, who
ever wins out will be looser in
the case. The Hon. Court re-
served four days to make a de-

the benefit of the doubt until
that time
The killing of Wade Burnett
mentioned last week seems to be
shrouded in mystery. He was
riding his pasture Sunday. Not
returning home a search was
instituted, and. Monday evening
he was found dead, having been
shot off his horse. the ball. from
a rifle, having passed through
his body near the heart. Wheth-
er it was a case of murder. or
the killing was by stray shot,
can only be surmised. Wade
was not quarrelsome, and had no
enemies. He leaves a wife and
two children. There are a great
many friends of the Burnetts in
Baca county who will share the
sorrow of the bereaved family at
the untimely death of their hus-
band and father.

SENATORS DIRECTED
TO ELIMINATE ABUSE
Vice President Marshall Serves No.
tice Members Must Treat Each
Other With Consideration.

Senators must stop abusing each
other in the Senate Of the United
States" said Vice President Marshall
to the Senate today after reading the
rule of the Senate providing that SEN
ators must treat each other with con-
sideration in debate.
Senators may think of each other
what they please" the Vice President
added, chat Is no concern of the chair.
But this rule must be enforced. At
present 1t is more honored in the breach
than in the observance"
His statement came at the close OF a
collouuy between Senator Hollis OF New
Hampshire and Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,. Rising to a question of personal
privilege, Senator Hollis read from a
morning newspaper an article saying
Senator Reed had called Senator Hollis
q liar during the debate yesterday.
Senator Hollis pointed out that this
was not true and read from the record
to prove his point.
Senator Reed denied also that he had
called Senator Hollis a liar, saying he
was not in the custom of calling sena-
tors liars. either in public or in private.
He continued, however. to criticise the
statement Of Mr.. Hollis yesterday that
his REORGANIZATION of Herbert c.
Hoover was similar to that of a police
court examination of q chicken thief.
Mr.. Hollis reiterated his statement that
that was the impression Mr. Reeds ex-
animation of Mr.. Hoover had created
upon his mind.

WHY NORTHERN SOLDIERS
co TO SOUTHERN CAMPS
Secretary Bakers Letter Of Expla-
nation II Laid Before the
Senate Today.

A letter from Secretary Baker Of the
War Department explaining the de-
partment's reasons for ordering the
national guardsmsn Of the northern
states into camps in the south was laid
before the Senate today by Senator
Weeks OF Massachusetts, who had
criticised. with other senator's. this
course Of action.
Secretary Baker. in his letter to
Senator Weeks stated that it was the
plan Of the War Department to send
the National Guard to France ahead Of
the drafted. armed, a. it vas expected
It would be. trained and equipped
properly before the new army could
He said that the department had
feared, however, that tonnage sufficient
to transport the National Guard to Eu-
rope might not be available before win
ter, and that II the guardsmen were
trained in tho northern states, then
they would have to be sent to southern
camps during the cold weather while
awaiting ships to transport them to
Europa This. he said, would have en-
tailed the expense Of northern camps
and southern camps for them.
Senator Weeks said that in his opin-
ion tho explanation carried no reasons
Of weight, since the northern states
had camps which the troops could use
at no expense to the government.

RUSH WORK ON

Legislature to Push Through
$165,OO0 Appropriation
Next Week

Members of the House of Repre-
sentatiNes will pass on to the Sen
ate by Wednesday morning the bill
to make $165,000 of the unexpended
National Guard appropriation avail
able for immediate work for i'm
provement of the Mt. Gretna camp
site. This work will be supplement
tai to what the United States Gov
ernment will do in the way of maxi
ing it more or less permanent camp
site. 1t is possible that a canton
ment plan may be adopted, although
on this point there is no information
obtainable yet.
The money to be reappropriated
Will enable the State Highway de-
partment to reconstruct several i'm
portant roads along the railroad and
through the camp for the more con-
venient handling of supplies and
also the enlargement of the water
supply and the establishment of a
sewage disposal system.
General belief is that May will not
be very far advanced before the Ma
tional Guard will be called to mobil-
ize at Mt. Gretna and that the camp
Will also be used for training of
volunteer units as was Camp Meade
at the time of the Philippine in
Surrection.
