AN UNFORTUNATE
and FATAL AFFAIR
RESULT OF BOOZE
ONE VOLUNTEER KILLED BY
ANOTHER AT THE NATION
AL GUARD ARMORY TUES.
DAY. RESULTS IN SPURT
OF SALOON REGULATION

Henry Romero was shot and in
stantly killed in the Armory of this
city Tuesday afternoon by Ramon
Trujillo. Both parties to the tragedy
were there as volunteers for the
army, but it is understood that they
had not yet been accepted.
1t is probable that both men had
tten drinking, although the surviv-
,r denies that he was intoxicated,
having lad tut a few drinks. 1t
appears tha, the men were engaged
in friendly talk and Romero
placed live cent piece on his fore
head and asked Trujillo if he could
hit it with a pistol. Trujillo
picked ur an automatic pistol, which
he says he believed was unloaded, and
snapped it at Romero. The pistol
was discharged and the unfortunate
man was instantly killed, the ball
striking him just below the nose and
passing entirely through his head.
Although it Is denied that the mer
were intoxicated, it is admitted that
both had been drinking before the
occurrence, and the affair raised such
a storm of protest that the city
counci, met Friday evening ant
after hearing from prominent men
hea ded by Chief Justice Hanna
Justice Roberts, and others, unani
mously passed severe ordinance
Hereafter the saloons of the cit,
will close at 9:30 in the evening ant
continue closed until 6 the mex
morning.
The killing called attention to th'
fact that the new law provides ;
very severe penalty for selling liquol
to men in the military service,
which probably includes the stat.
militia, although the city council tool
an opposite view of the matter ant
provided an ordinance covering it, 81
that the saloons of this city will M
longer sell to men in uniform, i
they obey the law, either directl,
or indirectly.
1t is promised that the investiga
ton of the killing is to be thorough
and will be conducted PERSONAL,
by the district attorney, with an i'm
Piled promise that all infractions O
the law developed by the investiga
ton will be punished. This Is take
to mean that the many complaint
received by the officials for som
time past concerning the illegal sal
of liquor, gambling, and other la,
violations. will be looked into.

u. s. LAND OFFICE GIVES
NO HOPE OF EARLY RELIEF

REQUESTS have come to the CON-
missioner of Public Lands, the State
Council of Defense, and other auth
critics from people in various Sec
tions of New Mexico, who have
applied for the designation of land
for entry under the 640-acre, or
grazing homestead act, that some
action of the land this year ana
farm it during the present crop sea,
son in order to do their bit toward
meeting the food crisis.
The reply of Honorable Clay Iall.
man, Commissioner of the General
Land Office, to requests for infor-
nation as to the status of the graz
i,.p homestead applications will be
of interest to hundreds of pros
pective entrymen in all parts OF New
Mexico, who have applied for design
ations of such lands. Mr.. Tallmans
letter. addressed to the State Coun-
Gil OF Defense, is as follows:
Department of the Interior,
General Land Office.
State War Committee,
Santa Fe, New Mexico.
My dear SIR
The Secretary of the Interior has
referred to me your telegram OF
the 2nd inst, advising that the State
Land Commissioner informs. you that
home steaders are asking that steps
be taken to allow the land applied
for under the Grazing Homestead
Act to be used for farming purposes
this season, and you join in the re-
quest that immediate action be taken
to that end.
In reply will say that while the
purpose sought to be accomplished
lis no doubt commendable, there are
numerous obstacles in the way which
are not easy to overcome. In the
first place, applications under this
act already aggregate over fifty
thousand, covering more than twenty
million acres, scattered As you know
throughout the entire west. In the
next place, the land must be desig.
mated before applications can be al
lowed, In the next place, this mat.
ter of designation has been turned
over to the Geological Survey, which
! bureau has not as yet been supphee
with necessary funds to do any OF
this work at all, except such as
they are probably able to do righ'
here in Washington on the basi.
of their office records. In the mex
place, the law specifically provide!
that there shall be no right to oc
cupy lands applied for until the
Hands have been designated as stock
raising lands. As the law stand!
n,u, therefore IL seems to me tina
the only solution of the prob' =.
ipresented is to proceed as rapid
iy as possible and get the lands
designated, or to decide that the!
can not be designated, so that al
these pending applications can b.
allowed or rejected. When we con
slider the tremendous number of sucl
applications and that acreage involv
ed, it is apparent that this canno
be done in a minute.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) Clay Tallman.

Special to state RECORD.
Washington, May D-Congress-
man Walter M. Chandler of New
York says: 1--WE should at once in
ject into the war the elements of
sentiment, imagination, and tnthu-.
siasm." He fears that the people of
the country are not backing with
sufficient vigor the action Of Con-
gress in declaring war, and that they
need to be appealed to in manner
that will arouse them to the vital
necessities of the hour. Mr.. Chand-
Ter is a student of the campaigns Of
Napoleon, and calls attention to the
fact that that great leader well re-
cognized the nower OF proper ap..
peals to the imagination of men, and
more than once resorted to that
means to accomplish his ends. In
line with his theory Mr.. Chandler
has been a strong supporter OF Mr..
Roosevelt's proposition to take an
army to France at an early date,
contending that the Colonels Gin
domitable energy, superb optimism,
and boundless enthusiasm would do
much to stimulate patriotic interest
in the war in this country, as well
as in France.
