HOUSE WENT DRY.

CONCORD, N. H. March 22.-The House voted prohibition by large majority and the bill went to the Senate this evening where it may not pass.
 No measure before the House has occasioned snch a bitter fight this session and it was postponed and filibustered against in amazing fashion, the drys ultimately forcing the vote and winning amid tremend- ous excitement.
 The line up in the Senate is said to be doubtful, but both sides pos sess an apparent confidence that they will win out.
 The fate of the bill Is occasioning an even bitterer fight outside the le- gislature.

 The Gill people charge that their witnesses are being tempered with and they are citing this man Mes dorf as a clear case in point.
 The whole tendency of the evid- ence handed in today was bad for all of the defendants and they will have a hard time trying to, clear themselves. The promised disclos- ures of sensational nature so far have not come out. The trial is being watched by large audience.

NEW YORK, March 22.-It's all off with the Kaiser now. The New York Yacht Club, patronized by royalty and Thomas Lipton who is not royal, today by unanimous vote dropped the Kaiser, Prince Henry of Prussia and another Ger man Prince from the membership.
 This action was taken after con- siderable discussion among the members who just naturally hated to see the royal family subjected to the last straw.

Are Requested

A request for 5000 rifles and
10000 rounds of ammunition, for
use in arming home guards in

ten of which already have been
named by Governor Lindsey. The
officers chosen by each company
will be commissioned by the gov
ernor, and the men will be drilled
and will be expected to be ready
at any time to act for "the pre-
servation of law and order and the
public defense" Adjutant Gen
eral James Baca will be in gen.
eral charge Of all home guards,
and after the departure of the
National Guard from the Estate
they will constitute the only
armed forces in New Mexico.

posed to organize a force of 100
home guards, and the forces in
the various other counties prob
ably will range from so to 200
men.
