Arson Conviction
Is Affirmed by
The Supreme Court

The state supreme court this after
noon affirmed the Judgment of the
district court in the case of the State,
appellee, VS.. Guillermo Barela and
Naciancenso Frietze, appellants, from
Dona Ana county. The appeal was
from a conviction and sentence for the
crime of arson, and the syllabus fol
lows:
Evidence of the correspondence Of
tracks Of defendants, made by them
under compulsion of the sheriff, with
those found at the scene OF the al
legged crime of arson and lie lding
therefrom, and evidence of the fitting
OF the shoes OF defendants, taken from
them by the sheriff, into tracks found
at the scene Of the crime, is not in
admissible as violative of the consti-
tutioral guaranty against compulsory
Standardization. The privilege pro-
tects a person from any disclosure
sought by legal process against him as
a witness. The fact that evidence is
the result of an unlawful search OF
seizure, or is obtained by force or IN
timidation by private persons or Of
ficers, when not under sanction Of
judicial process, ordinarily has no ef-
feet whatever upon its admissibiiity."
Opinion by Justice Parker, Chief
Justice Hanna and Justice Roberts
concurring.

Oil Men to Spend $780,
600 on Work in San
Juan County

Harrington, N. NJ. Oct. S.-lW. Golf
Black attended a meeting of the Oil
Producers corporation, in which he is
interested, in Denver last week, at
which meeting $4,000 was voted for
development work in San Juan county.
This dispels the doubt as to whether
his company intends to drill at an
early date, and it now looks as
though San Juan county would have
not only one oil rig drilling soon, but
two.
The first test on a large scale of
the prospective oil fields in New Mex
leo is being made in the San Juan
Basin, between Durango and Farming
ton by the Producers & Refiners cor
poration, a $40, 10000 company or
ganized during the summe by F. e.
Kistler, IN experienced operator of
the Oklahoma and Kansas fields. 1t
has long been believed that oil exists
under this section of New Mexico. II
the test is successful. oil from this
property will be sent by rail to Black
well, Okla, where the company owns
a refinery.

I'm a letter to all New Mexico banks

points out that Liberty bonds will bs

Hall and State Land Commissioners X

security for public funds In their care
and on deposit in New Mexico banks
by making such an exchange iht
banks a save the premium on surety
bends and earn 4 per cent on the
Liberty bonds. Mr.. Van Stones let
ter, which will undoubtedly promote
participation in the Liberty Loan. fol
lows:
ITO All New Mexico Banks:
The second Liberty LOAN drive is
now on.
BY a of their SUPERIOR facili.
ties and close touch with the financial
matters of the country the success OF
this second drive is largely up to the
banks.
Addresses, discussions and COM
ments during the recent convention of
the New Mexico Bankers association
made it very evident that the bankers
of this state are patriotic to the core
and will do everything possible to
float this bond issue both by purchase
and by advice to their customers.
Right now is the time to get busy
Il know that the demands of your
customers are abnormally
great owing to abnormal business and
other conditions. But business as
usual must take a back seat; there
will be plenty of time for business as
usual after this war is over and won
when business will surely be better,
much better, than usual and your re-
will be commensurate.
While patriotism is, of course, the
determining influence in such times.
as the present, it seems quite proper
TO mention a wap in which you can
turn your Liberty Bonds into profit
g~etters. The law provides that United
bonds may be used to secure
your deposits of public money; the
treasurer, Hon. HI. l.. Hall, and
the commissioner Of public lands, Hon.
R. p. Eryien, have both advised me
that they will gladly receive Liberty
Bonds in place Of surety company
bonds as security for the public funds
their. care now deposited in the
banks of our state. The patriotism of
he various surety companies cannot
De questioned and there is no doubt
hat they will gladly fall in with this
without objection. They can
themselves help by depositing Liberty
Bonds with the state treasurer under
he law requiring such deposits from
hem.
'1f you make this exchange YOU
ave the premium on the surety bond

States will come in regularly to help

 Majority Leader Kitchens announc- ed tonight that he will ask unanimous consent to send the bill to confer ence, and there was no indication of objection. Confidence is expressed that an agreement soon will be reach ed on the measure, despite the wide differences House members are pleased witll> many changes made by the senate.
 ''I am pleased with the outlook for an agreement" MT. Kitchens said to- night. There were many just and good changes in the senate to which heartily subscribe. There are oth- CTS, of course, of which I do not ap- prove. some members say the sen ate income provision for collecting information at the source gives cor operations an opportunity to escape
 and shift to the people. They also op- pose the senate plan for excess prof it's taxes"
 Elimination of the proposed tariff and consumption taxes did not dis please house Democrats. They may ask why they were stricken out but will not go further.

Civilian Board of Inquiry At Houston Finds Evj- dence of Plot.
ATTACK ON PEOPLE
 SET FOR AUGUST 21
vooro Guard Gave Information That Soldiers Had Planned To "ShOOt
 Up" Houston Two Days Before Outbreak.

Houston, Texas, Sept. 11.-Negro Icldiers of the Twenty-fourth United states infantry planned riot of bloodshed among white residents of Houston two days before the out freak which cost the lives of 15 Houston citizens on August 23, ac- kording to the report of the civilian board of inquiry, submitted to the Houston city council tonight. The re- Sort also criticises Superintendent of Police Brock for "his inability to en- brce discipline among the police" and keclares that "he is not qualified for he position he holds."
 The commission is of the opinion hat the riot undoubtedly was pre- bpitated by the arrest of negroes by Ac police, "that sufficient evidence las presented at the hearing to re- |eal the fact that serious disturbance las intended by the negro soldiers 'efore leaving Houston, and the ar est referred to simply brought it to 1 head sooner and perhaps intensi- ed tke crimes which followed"
 l Continuing the commission says: "Undsputed and convincing testi- tony af witnesses proved that negro bldicrs went forth to slay white peo- |e indiscriminately; that no negroes
 ere hurt or molested, and that ne- foes were warned before and during ke riot to stay off the streets.
 "The testimony of the captain in barge of the fire station at Camp pgan and of one of his assistants is bat when the shooting began at the egro camp one of the negro guards,

 The officers and members of the Lotus club proved ideal substitute hosts.
 Many more tickets were sold than were taken up at the door, as the object of the dance was to raise funds for the companys mess fund, and a large number of persons bought sev- cral tickets each. It was impossible to ascertain the exact amount raised by the sale of tickets, but neat sum was realized. e
