There Is an air of permanency
about much of the construction work
in Deming. The homes that are going
up are of brick and hollow tile. The
officers Of the army are building many
homes, too"
Deming puts in a long day, accord
ing to Hugh Williams. There are
about fifty restaurants in two blocks
and things begin to hum at 5 a. m.
You peep into one and see a long line
of men sitting at the counter for a
buffet breakfast. And you hear in this
restaurant what you hear in dozens Of
others at that hour: Ham and eggs!'
Scrambled eggs!' and so-forth. There
are many Cinnamon cooks and walters
to help feed the multitude. And, be-
Ieve me, it is a multitude, for there
are 1000 carpenters alone working on
that there cantonment, and they are
getting rs cents an hour"
Deming Is Thirsty =,
Mr.. Williams says that one of the
sights of Deming, a dry town, is the
root beer business. "They have great
barrels of the dark fluid, barrels three
times as big as a whiskey barrel, and
they are drawing 1t out from early
morn until near midnight. A govern
ment inspector goes around and makes
them clean out the beer pipes every
night. 1t is said the fellows running
these here root beer resorts are max
ing $3.50 to 5000 every "a hours. And
/ believe it, to see the way the SOL
diers line UP for their thirst-quench-
ers on a warm day."
Deming Seeks Diversion
MI. Williams says that Deming is
building a cinema palace or moving
picture house to seat $500 people at
a time. "The soldier boys have to go
to the movies just like we folks" he
added, "and there is no telling how
many Of these cinema palaces the
town will have put up when $4,000 to
10000 boys in khaki march on and
into Deming. All l can a is that I
saw 800 soldiers one evening starting,
or trying to start, at the same time
for the same place. 1t was a vaude-
vile show. My, how those taxi-cabs
and jitneys did swirl around! It was
the ~dog-gondest sight | have yer seen
in New Mexico"
BARRIERS Are overworked
Mr.. Williams says that the BARRIERS
down in Deming might we'll be on the
verge of nervous p~rostration as the
shops open at 7sand the ~hair-cutters
are kept clipping until 9 p. m. every
day except Sunday and on Saturday
until IL p. M.
Everybody is working from sunrise
until nearly midnight, for Deming has
suddenly become a big city with thou
sands Of Uncle Sans best men from
the middle west as her guests"

jected to the stigma being attempted
to be cast upon it by the learned
prosecutor. Mr.. Mason arose and de
clared emphatically that it was mo-
fair to compel counsel for defense tt
sit mute while the pleadings were
being misinterpreted by the district at
torney.
The court then announced that he
would give counsel for the defense
an opportunity to withdraw those
parts of the pleadings to which the
! district attorney so vehemently OBJ
jected. After a moments consultation
Messrs. Wright and Mason announced
that it would be impossible to with.
draw the pleadings and stated their
reasons, |. e., that their duty to their
clients Of presenting matter which
the latter regarded as justification
and ground for the publication, and
SO forth. They declared that the ans.
wer had been framed only after the
most careful deliberation and pains
taking search Of the authorities.
The court then announced that he
considered the action Of counsel in
filing the answer as framed, and in re-
f4sing to withdraw the alleged objec-
tlonable parts of the answer, as a con-
tempt, with which he would deal at
the conclusion of the hearing. A col
loquy ensued as to the meaning and
intent of the court as to the exact
parts of the answer which he held con-
temptuous.
Judge Mechem finally announced
that he would strike from the answer
all parts relating to H. 0. Bursum and
the political history of the state. or
to the Spicer alleged ~wig-wagging cpl
nsode and affidavit; that he would
strike out all that sought to state
what the defendants believed or did
not believe to be true; that he
would strike out all that sought to
explain intent, but that he would hear
what the defendant editor had to say
as to intent when 1t came time to
impose punishment.
In brief, the court refused to hear
any evidence as to truth or justifi-
cation or intent until after conviction
had been had. To all of which excep-
were duly taken by counsel for
the defense. The latter also objected
emphatically to the courts striking
out parts Of the answer without the
filing of a motion. Judge Mechem
declined to require the filing of such
motion. Defense counsel replied that
recent examination of the authorities
indicated it would be difficult to pre-
serve the record for appeal unless such

UP TO HOUSE AND FEED NEW SOLDIERS
Hugh Williams Tells Graphic Story Of Transfer
nation at Luna County Seat; Fifty Restaurants
in Two Blocks; Moving Picture Theater With
Seating Capacity Of $500 Building; BARRIERS on
Verge of Nervous Prostitution

Deming has 10000 soldiers now
drinking its 1899 percent pure water
and many gallons of root beer; it is
ready to house 10000 men in the gov
eminent cantonment and there will be
$4,000 to 10000 troops before many
weeks or months. tgi
This is the news brought back by
Chairman Hugh Fl. Williams, of the
state corporation commission, who Wis
tied Deming, as we'll as other cities in
the southern and western part Of the
state recently. !
And there is another bit OF news--
unofiicial-that he brings back, and
that is that high army officials believe
Deming always will serve as a train
ing camp for a large body of troops.
"The officers told me that they have
found an ideal site for troops; that
soldiers can work in Deming in
every season, whereas in the east the
winters are so severe and the mud
so disagreeable that drill is out of
the question for weeks and months
at a time," said Mr.. Williams.
Deming is preparing for the future,
and already has gone a long way to
put up permanent improvements to
handle the government camp, accord
ing to Mr.. Williams.
when one steps off the train and
looks for five miles and sees what a
big government camp is like, one is
inspired with ave-" added Mr.. Will
liams. "The first thing that struck
me was that Deming is putting up a
water system to stay, with 8-inch
pipes, 30 inches under the ground.
Another thing that struck me is
that the Deming people showed a
progressive and ~unselfish spirit that
sets the pace for other towns. When
the government officials were looking
around for a camp, there was not a
Deming real estate owner who put a
straw in the way of Uncle Sam. They
handed over everything that was need
ed. One man turned over his vast
bean farm, pumps, fences and houses
and all. He was told he would get it
all back and he will.
when General Blocksom went to
,Deming he went to a part of the south
west with which he was familiar, for
he fought Geronimo's Indians from
1880 to 1886 out here. I said to him
the other day: How do you like it,
.General?' and he replied: It's home,
sweet home, to mel He was mighty
pleased with Deming's location and
the trunk lines, three of them, that
can pour troops in and out. I want
to say that things are picking up in a
town in New Mexico when the Santa
Fe railway operates three switch en-
gines all the time, the Southern Pa
cific two, and the E. P. & s. W. one.

MINES NOW
PRODUCE 1000 TONS
DAILY, REPORTED BY
STATED MINE INSPECTOR
GALLuP-AMERlcAN WILL BE
TURNING OUT 1000 TONS AT
END OF MONTH. RlSDoN
STATES; MINES BEING I'M
PROVED

That the mines of the Gallup dis
trict are now producing from 1900 to
1000 tons daily, and that the Gallup
American, which is now contributing
over 500 tons to the daily output, ex'
poets to increase production to 900
or 1000 tons before the end of the
month, are interesting statements in
a report just received by Governor
Lindsey from State Mine ] Inspector
WI w. Risdon. who has been in Gal
lup for several days.
incidentally, the state mine inspec'
tor states that the Gallup-American is
spending more money putting the
mines in shape and providing com
Portable quarters for its employees
than was spent by the Victor-Ameri
can company, its predecessor, in sew
eral years. His letter to the COVER
nor follows:
Il am writing to let you know how
conditions are in this field. The Dia
mond company is producing be
tween 700 anud 900 tons Of coal per
day, the Gallup & Southwestern oe'
tween 200 and $50 tons per day, and
the Jones mine from 1856 to 230 tons
per day.
"The Gallup-American company II
increasing its tonnage gradually
and the following is it's production fol
the month to date: Sept. 1, 1886 men
working, 474 tons produced; 3, 3OS
men, ass tons; A, 315 men, 537 tons;
s, 1926 men, 491 tons; 6, 321 men, 562
tons; Z, 800 men, 43S tons; 8, 81
men, sos tons.
This number of men are not all
engaged in digging coal. Quite q
number of them are engaged in doing
repair work in the mines that the
victor-American Fuel company could
not be compelled to do. The present
operators of the properties are spend
ing more money in putting the mines
in good condition and in making the
houses of their employees comfortable
and attractive than the old company
spent in several years. They expect
to bring the daily output up to 900 to
1000 tons per day by the last of this
month";"

DETAILS OF PROCEEDINGS AT
CONTEMPT HEARING YESTERDAY

E. Dana johnson, editor Of the Santa Fe New Mexican,
was sentenced to thirty days in the "common jail' OF the
county of Valencia yesterday afternoon at Los Lunas by the
Merritt G. Mechem, judge of the Seventh judicial
district, on the charge Of contempt Of court. After stating he
did not believe the case appealable, Judge Mechem stated he
would allow an appeal to the supreme court and fixed the
|supersedeas bond at $500.
The court, also, fined Judge Edward R. Wright, of coun-
sci for defense, formerly judge of the Sixth judicial district
and a member of the territorial supreme court, fifty dollars for
contempt, holding, despite Judge Wright's earnest and re-
spectful disclaimer, that portions Of the answer filed in behalf
of the defense were contumacious. This had been previously
declared in a dramatic plea by Harry Pitt Owen, district attor-
|ney, who called upon the court in most impassioned language
to witness that the matter complained of was highly contemp-
tuous and that he was surprised beyond measure that such a
man as Judge Wright should be capable of such an unparalleled
outrage upon the court, or words to that effect.
Authorities Stand Uncontradicted
The district attorney remained mute in the face of the arrayo of author-
ties adduced by the defense, which as represented by Judge Wright and
Herbert D. Mason, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, who appeared III the cease a $ a friend
of Col. q. M. Cutting, president Of the New Mexican Printing company, the
case against whom went over by reason of his absence, in federal army
service in the east The court declined to hear any evidence in substantial
ton of the truth of the publication, in justification or explanation Of intent
In sentencing the defendant editor, he asked the latter il he had anything to
say. MI. Johnson replied that he had nothing to say except to repeat per-
sonany the assertions of the answer, that there never had been any intention
SO far as he "a concerned to bring the court Of the Seventh Judicial district
into disrepute Or to influence the disposition of any pending causes On being
asked by the court the reason for the publication, he explained that S he
viewed it the veracty of his employer and the latters sister had been unjusty
attacked, and he felt that it should be defended.
The publication complained Of appeared in the New Mexican Of March
3d. The defense has contended all through the case that the purpose of
filing a affidavit, which the defense regarded as untrue, before the state
board of bar examiners in defense of Attorney M G. spner of Socorro
charged by Col Cutting and others with wigwagging signals to Henry Drey
fu, plaintiff in a libel suit against the New Mexican, while the latter was
being crossexamined by Attorney Wilson for the defense in the trial of the
case at Los Lunas.
The New Mexican Printing company was found also guilty of contempt
punishment to be determined later.
