No s Hour Days this Session.

Washington. D. C.. Feb. 2s.-Ai-
though the session of Congress
which will close on March I has
been Z short one. it has been an ex-
tremely strenuous time for members
OF both houses. In addition to the
unusually large Appropriation bills,
containing many new items, there
have been numerous measures Of a
general nature which not only re-
quired c'ose, study but brought the
members much correspondence with
their constituents. There has been
no eight-hour day for members of
either the Senate or House, and, for
many Of them, there has been
seven day week of work Unlike
President Wilson. the Senators and
to devote their forenoons to golf.
As the sessions have opened at II
o'clock, or earlier. each day. the
members have found it necessary to
he in their offices before nine in the
morning in order to look after their
correspondence before going to their
seats in the legislative halls, and
have had to work until six or later
to finish up their office work after
the daily sessions have closed. Many
a man has worked late into the
night on legislative measures in
which he took an active interest.
When final adjournment comes on
March 4, the opportunity for a lit
tie relaxation will be greatly ap-
preciated.

principles expounded from the back
bone of our civilization.
Any system of education that fails
to teach the child how to earn his
bread and butter is worse than nc
system. Specialization is the magic
key to success-and it matters but
little whether the controlling fac
tor be brain or Drawn.
Observation at the School OF
Mines show that our public schools
are dealing too much with things
unessential and not enough with the
practical things of life A child who
lis skilled in doing something useful
IS worth more to society than one
hundred incompetents.
Better Wear Out Than Rust Out.
The members of the School OF
Mines Faculty love to work and
would take great pride in shoulder
ing any extra burden in furtherine
the development of the mineral re-
sources of New Mexico, provided
the legislature will grant a small
annual appropriation to establish a
State Bureau Of Geology and Mines,
which every mining state now has.
The School of Mines, through its
technical staff of trained instruct
ors, reinforced with its splendid la
boratories and scientific instru-
mepts. stands ready to render extra
service to the people of New Mex
ico without single dollar increase
in salaries.
All that is asked Is enough funds
to conduct field, laboratory, and Of.
ice expenses and to provide for the
necessary printing of maps, charts,
bulletins, monographs, etc.
Five thousand dollars annually for
the 'irst two years will be sufficient
20 pu, the organization in motion to
turn out the first installment of
technical literature on some of the
several mining istricts.
Many thousands of dollars an
nually are being diverted into other
states because we are unable to
give the information sought. ANY
state with $400O0,OOO mining output
can well afford to further encour-
age its mining industry by the ex.
penditure of at least 5000 annual
iy.

UNCLE SAM NABS TRIO IN
ALBUQUERQUE FOLLOW.
ING DISAPPEARANCE OF U.
S. REGISTERED MAIL

lhe theft of pouch of registered
mail. reported to contain more than
S8,OO0, from the Santa Fe station at
Albuquerque on the night of Feb
ruary 20, led to the arrest of Charles
Garrett railway mail clerk; Tom
Riley and Mrs. Ruby Rapp.
Officers we're not freely communi-
cative on the subject of the arrests
They did not divulge why they sus
pected the three persons or what
they thought their connection with
the theft to be. They stated they had
found $3.50 in a trunk in Riley's
room at 307 North Third street, but
that was after he had been arrested
! Piley said, according to officers,
that Carret had given him the money
several days after the disappearance
of the pouch. He understood that
Garrett had obtained it from the sale
of farm or stock in Texas. The
money found In Riey's trunk was
not Identified as far as was known
last night, as the stolen currency.
| Garrett denied having any knowl-
edge of the theft. He was said to
have stated upon being questioned
by Post office Inspector H. w. Blake,
short time ago, that he could estab-
lish an alibi, accounting for his
whereabouts at the time the pouch
was stolen.
Commissioner Issues Warrants
Officers said that Mrs Rapp told
them she knew nothing of the theft.
They learned from her, they said,
that Garrett had been a frequent
visitor at Riley's room. Mrs. Rapp
stayed at the same rooming house
that Riley did.
The arrests were made on war
rants issued by United States Com
missioner George R. Craig upon a
complaint sworn to by Postoffice
Inspector Blake. The inspector and
Chief of police ]. r. Galusha ar
rested Riley as he was leaving the
rooming house and Mrs. Rapp in
the house. Deputy United States
Marshal H. A. Murphy, accompanied
by Postmaster H. c. Roehl, arrested
Garrett on North Second street.
Riley and Mrs. Rapp were held in
separate wards at the city jail while
Garrett was taken to the county jail
at old Albuquerque. They will be ar
raigned before Commissioner Craig
today.
The stolen pouch had been dis
patched from the Albuquerque post
office on the night of February 20.
A railway mail clerk received it at
the Santa Fe station and placed il in
the mail room while he went to emp
ty the mail box standing in front of
the Harvey curio department. He I
locked the door of the mail room.
Returning to the mail room few /!
later. he found the door
open. The electric lights. which he
had left lighted, were dark. Hur-
riedly entering the room and, turn
ing ON the lights, he discovered that |

WESLEYANS HAVE
MUCH OPTIMISM

Mt. Pleasant, Oct. 25.-wesleyan's
football team won its first victory of
the season at 1ndianola against Simp-
son last week and the bunch looks
like a sure winner for the rest OF the
season. The team has had difficulty
in getting started. as tho schedule
opened against experienced teams
while tho local squad had only three
of last years men back. Another
handicap has been the fact that all
but the first game have been played
away from home, and this has made
long and hard trips on the road neces-
sary. so that the team has not had a
real chance to be in the first class
conditions for the games, but the men
seem to be rounding into shape now
and Iowa Wesleyan will be real con.
tender for the remainder OF the
season.
wesleyan plays Augustana at Rock
Island, Saturday. Oatman or Hasel'
tine win play end, q Dean is out for
the rest Of the war, and Vannen, who
played star game last week. will
again take Schaffner's place as tackle
Schaffner was hurt in the hip and
will be unable to play. The oppon.
ents are said to have . fast bunch,
but Wesleyan has every chapoe to
come home victorious.

JOHNSON FAVORS
SHORTER SEASON
HEAD OF AMERICAN LEAGUE
SAYS $40 GAMES ARE ENOUGH
IN ONE YEAR.

st. Louis, Oct.~z5.-President John
son of the American league today an
'nounced that next season the league
schedule would be cut from 154 "a
40 games. He said the season would
begin about April 81 or May and end
the middle Of September.
Il have always though 154. games
were too many" said Johnson. Each
year I have contended 140 games made
the ideal schedule, but, as sentiment
among the magnates did not seem to
favor my idea, I never pressed the
point. The shortening next season Is
in no wise war move. although
think the war provides . good reason
for inausurating the plan.
Details Up At Meeting.
"Of course, details win have to be
worked out at the annual league meet
Ing in Chicago. do not think the
shortening Of the scheule will entaa
q reduction Of the player limit.
THE new schedule Of 40 games
will enable the teams to get . later
start to training camps, and this also
will be q big factor as 1t frequently
has been too cold in the south to 90
much training when the teams arrive
in February"
August Herman, chairman OF the
national commission and president OF
the Cincinnati Nationals. in letter to
q st. Louis newspaper said he favored
= 40 games schedule.
League Would Keep Johnson.
Phil Ball, president Of tho st. Louis
Americans, said It was doubtful
whether the American club owners
would permit Johnson to resign for
army service in France.
President Johson ssfd that II he
resigns IN outsider would necessarily
be chosen president Of the league, as
club owner cannot be president
President johnson denied he had
signed Miller Higgins, manager OF the
St. Louis Nationals. to manage an
American league team next year.
