of Revenue Officers a Success.

Internal Revenue Agent Samuel r.
Brame yesterday returned to his
swivel chair In the quiet and stately
Federal building after a short So
journ in the Virginia mountains which
eliminated Sunday morning in a thrill
ing all-night chase and battle be-
tween desperate moonshiners and his
picked body OF deputies.
The story of the expedition is like
prize page of dime novel fiction,
At the head Of his body of ten chosen
''revenooers" Agent Brame prowled
around the mountain Businesses from
midnight until break OF day on Sun
day morning. when a total OF four
dyed the wool moonshiners were
taken to Martinsville and bailed for
appearance before the federal Judge.
The expedition was made necessary
by the startling boldness and audaci-
GUS activity of the 'stillers OF Illicit
booze, who chased two revenue agents
from the vicinity on August 80 at
the points of high-power rifles. Joe
Pete and Eldrtdge Love will have to
answer charges OF firing on United
States officers when arraigned in the
federal court. II. II. Love and w. H.
McGhee were caught red-handed at
their stills and were bailed in sums
OF $500 each for Illicit distilling.

well-laid trap set by the mountain
GERS. they would have probably bee
wiped out to a man and no one left to
tell the tale. Henry Love was known
to be away in his Ford car with 4
consignment Of liquor and his gang
had learned the whereabouts of the
officers and placed themselves on
heights above the road where the Of
f1cers were to hold up the car. Sc
cu>9V hidden by the moonless
night, they were to walt until the Of
ficers stood within thu glare Of the
cars headlights and then pick them
of at their convenience. But Agent
Brame was tool old at the game to
subject his party to needless risks.
When the chugging OF the motor
gave notice OF the approaching car.
Brame sent his men to the bushes on
either side of the road and stood
squarely in the path of the coming
car. At his command. Hands up"
Love raised himself In his seat and
drew two guns on the agent. but be-

CAPITAL YIELDS
TO THE METROPOLIS

The convention of the New Mex
leo Educational Association at the
capital city this week was in every
way monumental<uccess. The at
tendance was many hundred greater
than ever bef re and the addresses
given by educators OF national rep
utation invited an interest in cduca-
tion never known before in the state.
The contest in selecting the place for
the convention next year resulted in
Albuquerque being the fortunate
city. 1t VIII be seen that the vote
stood 55l for Albuquerque and 392
for Tucumcari. Santa Fe not being
candidate. Had the capital city
wished the convention after having
the gathering two years successive
ly no other city in New Mexico
could have defeated the Ancient. In
analyzing the result. then. the Duke
City must not only appreciate the
generosity of Santa Fe in declining
to contest for the convention. but

que under obligations for future re-
ciprocation.-New Mexico State De-

DUE FIRST OF THE YEAR

Next years Federal Aid road funds,
amounting to a maximum of $42500
for New Mexico and $4,000 for Ari-
zona will shortly be allotted for the
construction of roads in and near
the National Forests, provided the
local authorities make acceptable Of
fers OF cooperation. Scvarcl coun-
ty and state officers had been re-
minded that applications for Federal
Aid road funds for the fiscal year
beginning July |, 1918, are due Jam

became effective last July, makes
possible the allotment of over a mil
lion dollars for roads in Arizona and
New Mexico during the next ten
years. This appropriation has no
connection with the percentage Of
National Forest receipts accruing to
the Forest counties for roads and
schools.
