pearance.
Dunlavy Works Untiringly
In Santa Fe the services of Melvin
T. Dunlavy were enlisted as attorney.
In spite of the fact that few people
could be induced to believe that there
was anything to the case, Mr.. Dunlavy
hung on with untiring patience and
little by little learned not only the
facts regarding the connection be-
tween Armour and Blancett, but also
lascertained that Blancett was at Friday
Harbor, Wash. Blancett's arrest fol-
lowed and the next day an attempted
suicide was made 5y The accusea msen.
Chief of Police j. Il. Galusha of Albu-
querque was sent to Washington with
requisition papers for Blancett and is
now on his way to New Mexico with
the man.
The difficulty of securing q convic-
ton of Blancett for murder without
first finding the body Of Armour led
TO the offer of a reward of 81 900 for
the finding of the body, and for sew
eral weeks the country for miles
around Santa Fe has been raked as
with fine-toothed comb to find some
trace of the supposedly murdered
man. The accidental finding of the
body today is believed to have re-
moved the last obstruction to the pros
ecution of Blancett.

ENGLISH Y, M. C, A, DOES
MUCH WAR RELIEF WORK


London, Jan. l4,-Since the begin
ming of the war the Young Mems
Christian association has expended on
an average 1850 pounds a day for the
benefit of soldiers and war workers.
It's special war fund has reached L.
100000 pounds.
Mr.. Yapp. the general secretary, has
just returned to London after spending
several weeks in France.

now is to be seen along the whole
line of the British armies at the front
in France and at each of the big bases
there are from twenty to thiry huts.
In the foremost positions we have
opened buffets some of them in the
ruins of shell-wrecked houses.
Women have done noble work for
US in France. Much of it entirely at
their own expense. Throughout
France between three and four hum

would ever pass bill which he would
approve. Consequently, the majority
proceeded to fortify itself to pass a
salary bill regardless of the approval
of the executive.
No such situation exists today The
likelihood of any sharp division be-
tween Governor de Baca and the leg
islature seems remote. This does not
mean that Governor de Baca will ap-
prove every measure that is presented
to him. Such a contingency is alto
gether improbable. But there is moth
ing in sight at present of such vital
Importance to the republicans that
they think ii worth while to prepare
in advance for overriding the govern
or's veto with a two-thrds majority
in both houses.
The cold fact is that the republicans
do not consider 1t good politics to have
a fight with the governor unless they
are forced into it, and so far the gov
ernor has shown no disposition to
force a fight.
The Governors Health.
Governor de Baca continues to show
about the same rate of improvement
that has prevailed since his return to
New Mexico. Visitors are allowed to
see him just as often as Dr. Massie
thinks advisable, and not more often,
and DR.. Massie doesn't care hang
whether the politicians like it or not
The result is that every time poll
tician is refused an audience with the
governor he goes out and spreads the
report that the chief executive is in
a critical condition and that the
gravest consequences are impending.
1t takes very little to start rumors re-
garding the governors condition in
Santa Fe.
Something of this sort was the case
yesterday. Friday night Governor de
Baca had not slept as well as usual
that is as apt to a well man
as sick one-and Saturday DR.. Mas
sic deemed 1t advisable that his re-
ception hours be suspended. All day
the most alarming reports
were circulated on the stTeets oi the
capital. The governor, it was declared,
was nearing the end.
Investigation at st. Vincents sani-
tarium Saturday evening disclosed that
Governor de Baca had just finished
eating a dinner Of broiled steak, baked
potatoes, hot rolls and plum preserves
and was reading the afternoon papers
before retiring for the evening.
Pretty good for dying man.
