The dedication of the new Museum
building at Santa Fe, will be an event.
not only of state wide significance,
but of National Importance and in
terest, fixing the eyes of the Scien-
tific and Art World upon the capital
of New Mexico Considering that the
Museum is part of the States cdu-
cational system, it is quite fitting
and appropriate that the dedication
takes place during the conveption of
the New Mexico Educational Asso-
citation, November 24-2o. Aside from
that, it will give tie teachers an op-
portunity to meet National leaders
in Science, Art and Education, and
to enjoy programs of Music and ad-
dresses that otherwise they would
have to go to large cities to hear.
The dedication festivities will begin
on Saturday evening, Nov oath, when
the building will be formally trans
ferred to the State. Upon this occa-
sion. Director Edgar L. Hewett will
preside, and brief addresses will be
made by United States Senator A.
A. Jones, Governor W. L. Lindsey,

MILITIAMAN SHOT
NEAR GREENFILLE
Mystery Surrounds Assault on
Young Man-Conilicting Stories
Told by Men in Jail.

Greenville. Aug. 6.-Mystery sur
rounds tie circumstances of the
shooting of Ralph G. Neves, stable
sergeant of the headquarters COM
pany of the First South Carolina IN
fantry, who was shot through the
head last night on the Travellers Rest
road while returning from the home
of his uncles. Seven white men, Ciaf-
ence Lee, Furman Bright, Will Bright,
Bud Waters and Will Watts are now
' in jail in connection with the crime.
Lee and the Bright boys are from
Merrittsville and the other four are
Greenville men. They are not coz
nected with any military organza-
, ton.
Sergeant Neves was rushed to the
/ City hospital here and it Is reported
from there tonight that he has
chance for recovery. He is the son
of B. F. Neves, wealthy citizen OF
! Greenville county, who recently wrote
Governor Manning Offering himself
and the services of his four sons to
their country.
Each mans story of the shooting
differs in some manner from the story
told by the others. The best infor-
nation obtainable seems to be that
the seven men who are now under ar
rest were in an automobile coming to
! Greenville when the car passed
Neves. It is understood that the hat
of one of the men in the car blew OH
! at this time and fell in the road.
Neves dismounted from his horse and
picked up the hat, starting toward
the car with it. What happened dur
ing the interval while the men were
with Neyes in the road could not be
learned. A shot was heard and the
men returned to the car and came on
to Greenville. Neyes was found
few minutes later lying in the road
with a bullet wound through his head
and his own pistol lying a few fee,
from him.

President Urges Expedition in Inves-
tgatie1 OF Main Factor in Eai-
yes

Washington, Aug. 7.-President
Wilson turned his attention today to
the subject of war prices and paid q
personal visit to the federal trace
commission to urge expedition OF In
vestigations to ascertain the cost of
producing materials required by the
government.
At the presidents direction the
commission has undertaken inquiries
to determine production cost on most
of the basic supplies needed for val
uses, including coal, coke, steel, iron
petroleum, tin, aluminium, Wire, zinc,
copper, lead. cement, lumber and
their derivatives. Preliminary re,
ports will be forthcoming within (;
few weeks. Announcement of def
mite policy respecting war purchases
and prices probably will be made
soon War profits will be kept to a
minimum and if producers and manu-
facturers evince any reluctance tc
supply the country's war needs a,
reasonable prices the government S
power to commander materials vii!
be invoked.
Although the proposal is meeting
determined opposition the adminis1ra.
tien intends that the allies shat
share with this government in raduc'
ed costs for supplies. 1t is REALIZED
however, that heavy government pur,
chases will tend to raise prices &C
private consumers. The admfnistra
tion desires to keep prices generally
down without resort to legislation.
Trade commission officials admit
their investigation Of production
costs are proceeding slowly. This Il
due, it is said to the fact that a great
burden OF work has been thrown or
the commission for which it was
paerly prepared.
The commission some time ago be-
can injuries into the fuel and lum-
Ger industries and data on production
costs of these materials will be READY
soen. Although charged only with an
Mvestigation Of costs it is entirely
hkely the commission will make sug-
gestiOns as to what it considers fayr
prices for materials and that the war
board will follow closely its recon-
mendations.

The new organization provides Tor
no cavalry in the division. The ci-
vision as at present constituted calls
for one regiment of cavalry. The
present division also calls for one

calls for none. the air craft units be-
ing otherwise provided for.
The order specifies sixteen divi-

bers to be given each of the differ
