ELUSIVE STACKER SOUGHT
Albert Pagenetti Believed to Be Ac- tive in Anti ConscriDtion Society," Richardson on His Trail.


 Richardson on His Trail.
 The police dragnet has so far failed to locate Albert Pagenetti of Mill street, an alleged stacker, for whom the local department Is seek ing. Pagenetti, it is claimed, Is one of the leading movements in spread ing anti-conscription feeling in this city and Is also charged with failure to appear before the exemption board for examination. In securing for Pagenetti, the police have unearthed a society in this city, which is con- sidered one of the worst of its kind in the New England states. For some time prior to the war, this or ganization was bent on expounding teachings of an anarchistic nature, but since the declaration of war with Germany, 1t is said that the tactics employed have been against conscrip- ton.
 Detective Andrew J. Richardson, who is putting in some fine work for the exemption board in tracking al- legged slackers had the place called to his attention during Investigations The society first met, it is claimed, in an empty store on Franklin Square and later moved the headquarters to the room overt Schwab's cafe on West Main street. When the mem bership began to swell, the organi- zation again moved. this time locat- ing in the building over Laraia's sa loon on Spring street. Of late little has been heard of the organization, although it is the belief of the au- thor1ties that 1t still exists here. Pa genetti, 1t Is said was member of this band and was also aligned with another party whose attitude toward conscription has been drowned upon in other cities.

TANKER SINKS U-BoAT
Oil Vessel l@asters Submarine After Batt'~ Lasting Four Hours Destroyed by Fire.

Destroyed by Fire.
 At Atlantic Port, Aug, 24.-The Standard Oil tanker, Navajo, de- stroyed by fire at sea on Aug. 15 while bound for this port. had an en- counter on her trip over with a sub marine and sank the enemy vessel with her guns after a four hour bat tie, according to members of the crew of 27 who arrived here today on an American steamer. The destruction of the tanker was caused by the ex- plosion of a fuel pipe.
 The Navajo had three separate en- counters with the submarine before she sank hef, one off the officers said. The first met the German craft off the Irish coast and drove her off af- ter the exchange of a few shots. The next day the sound of firing was heard, he said, and a large sailing vessel appeared pursued by what those on the Navajo identified as the same U-boat they had encountered the day before. The Germans sank the sailing vessel and then engaged the Navajo for a second battle. There was an exchange of shots until British hydro -airplane appeared and the U-boat submerged. A fog settled down and the airplane returned to shore When the fog lifted the u-boat was found still lurking near and the third engagement enSued. The tanker was damaged in the stern. but i'll turn registered hit on the squarely beneath the U-boat's periscope.
 The Navajo proceeded to France for repairs When she caught fire on the return trip the crew was rescued and landed at an Irish port.

ALBUQUERQUE BOOSTERS
WOULD AID LORDSBURG

A recent editorial and "top hne'
in the Western Liberal advocating a
Chamber of Commerce for Lordsburp
has attracted considerable attention
in other cities. A letter was receiv-
ed by the Western Liberal Tuesday
from John Tombs, publicity agent for
the Albuquerque Chamber of Com
merce offering TO aid in any way pos
sible the organization of similar
body in Lordsburg. The letter is as
follows:
"In a recent issue Of your clever
paper | notice a headline concerning
a Chamber of Commerce for Lords
burg. We are at present preDarin~
for a campaign for members for our
Chamber of Commerce, and If there
is any way in which our exnerience
can be Of help to the people of Lords
burg we will be only too glad if you
will let US know"

The decision to consolidate the
forces of the two local corporations
hunting for oil came Monday after
Well Driller Rominger, who has been
drilling for oil three miles northwest
of Lordsburg for the Lordsburg Oil
and Development company had the
misfortune to lose a string of tools
in the hole which he was drilling AS
many of the men interested were
in both companies, the plan of unit
ing the forces of both corporations
was talked over, and finally agreed
upon
1t was also decided TO change The To-
cation of the operations of the con-
solidated company to the Lordsburg
Flat west of the city nine miles, as 1t
was thought that this place, perhaps,
offered a better chance for success in
drilling. Mr. Rominger began moving
his machinery Tuesday, and started
to work Immediately installing his
apparatus and making ready to start
drilling.
Men interested in the consolidated
company are as follows: M. Q. Har-
din, DR. M. M. Crocker, Sam Olney,
Stems, A. A. Williams, o. C. Conner,
B. B. Ownby, r. B. Ownby, w. H.

nolds, Barton Smith and s. M. Chase
Mr.. Smith comes from Oklahoma
and Kansas and is an expert of ex-
perience. He has brought in more
than a hundred successful oil wells
and has scarcely ever failed where he
staked his judgment, it is said. Mr..
Smith considers the indications in the
Lordsburg field extremely promising
He is in general direction Of the un.
dertaking.
The project will be watched with
interest by men interested in ada
cent fields, and it is quite possible,
even if success in striking oil does not
come Immediately, that the knowledge
gained will be worth the price paid
it is pointed out.
Another Lordsburg corporation
The Arizona and New Mexico OIL g.
Development company, is interested
in a field north Of Bowie, Ariz., and
expects to commence drilling soon III
that region. J. o.. Phillips of Lords
burg is president and NJ. Q. Hardin
and B. B. Ownby are directors.
This company expects to push the
work of developing their lands as
rapidly as possible, and believe that
they have promising idications Of oil
and gas.
