GOVERNOR DBACA
SUCCUMBS AFTER
PROLONGED ILLNESS
State Executive Dies Sunday
Afternoon at 800 O'clock
in Santa F Sanitarium;
Was 81 Years of Age.
H A D HELD OFFICE
My SIX WEEKS

Governor +. c. DeBaca died at
Santa Fe Sunday afternoon
shortly before a o'clock of perni-
cious anaemia. He had been i'll
for some time, failing health
forcing him to take only minor
part in the campaign for his own
election last fall. Barely a score
of persons attended his Inaugural
ton, which was held at the sa-
nitarium where he died, Jan. /,
1917.
Governor DeBaca, imediately af-
ter his election to the highest
state Office, went to a hospital in
Los Angeles, where strenuous
measures were taken to combat
the disease from which he was
suffering.
When word came from New
Mexico that there was serious
doubt whether he legally would
be governor If he failed to take
the oath of office on the day fixed
by the constitution he declared
he would return to Santa Fe to
take the oath if he had to be car
ried there on a stretcher. Ply
sicians warned him that he ran
serious danger of shortening his
life if he left the hospital, but
he disregarded their advice.
The strain of executive respon-
sibility told on him severely and
futher heroic treatment was re-
sorted to. He weakened steadily
but declined to give up his grasp
of affairs, stand which mate
rally lessened his chances of re-
covery.
Governor DeBaca was 81 years
old and a native New Mexican.
He gained his education in the
public schools of San Miguel
county and the Las Vegas Col
lege. He gained greatest prom
inence prior to his assumption of
the lieutenant governorship in
1912 as editor of La Voz del Pue-

CHEEKY fire during the day can
testify that the weather was
spicy enough to suit the majority.
Snow, hail, sleet, rain, wind and
frigid temperatures made the
day one of the most unpleasant
since Christmas. During the af-
ternoon the clouds broke, the
sky cleared, the sun shone and
the temperature arose slightly.
The storm was general over the
state.

Ira o. Wetmore, representative

FIRST STEPS BEING
TAKEN TOW
MILITARY TRAINING
Bill Introduced in House
Provides That Military
: Training be Given in Pub
lie Schools of New Mexico.
ADJUTANT GENERAL
WOULD SUPERVISE

The first step toward military
training in the public schools of
New Mexico was taken a few
days ago when the house, by a
vote of 23 to 18, passed the Con
zales-Llewellyn bill providing fer
military instruction in the fun
damentals cf military science and
training.
Representative Mares, of Col
fax, attempted to table the mea-
sure, declaring that as many
teachers knew nothing about
military training, it would be i'm
possible to carry out its provi-
sions. He feared, he said, that
it would disqualify teachers, and
suggested that those who wanted
their children trained in military
tactics could send them to the
Military Institute at Roswell.
His motion to table was lost.
Representative Bry an, of Union,
made doubtful argument for
the bill when he asserted that
military training was "as neces-
sary as Legislators" " 1t behooved
the people of New Mexico, he
said, in view of the depredations
of Pancho Villa, to favor the
military training of their boys.
He had about 16 boys, he stated
and he intended to have all of
them trained. The bill reads:
/ Section l, That all public
schools in the state and all other
schools in the state receiving pc
cuniary aid from the state, hav-
ing in the school 20 or more male
students above the age of Ia
years shall be compelled to main
tain in the institution at least 3
hours per week, instruction in
the fundamentals of military
science and training, the course
of instruction TO be prescribed
jointly by the adjutant general

paper at Las Vegas.
Governor DeBaca is succeeded
by a Republican, Lieutenant
Governor Washington +. Lindsey
of Portales, who became governor
automatically. Governor De-
Baca's running mate former Co
vernon W. G. Mcdonald, was de-
feated at the last state election.
The end came so peacefully
that for several minutes it was
thought the governor merely was
sleeping. With him at the time
were his wife, his nurse, two
sisters of charity, Archbishop j.
B Pitayal, of the Catholic diocese
of New Mexico, and his private
secretary, Miss Clara Olson,
whom he had caused to be sum-
moned a short time previously,
saying he wanted to do some
work. He made a number of
appointments Friday. While 60
ing over executive business wit
Miss Olson, the governors res
piration became so difficult she
was alarmed and summoned Mrs.
DeBaca and a physician. They
watched the spark of life burn
lower, but none of them was able
to say afterward just when it
fiickered out.
Governor DeBaca had made
few appointments and none of
them had been confirmed. His
appointments were limited to the
naming of members Of several
state boards and designation of
Dennis Chaves, of Albuquerque,
TO fill the Office of state game
and fish warden temporarily.
The filling of app1intive Offices
falls to Governor Lindsey.
Ezequiel Cabeza DeBaca, Sc
cond state governor of New Mex
leo, was born November IL, 1864,
on farm near Las Vegas, N. M.
where his father, Tomas Cabeza
DeBaca, and his ancestors had
made their home for more then
a century. He was a descendent
in direct line of Don Luis Maria
Cabeza DeBaca, who was the
original claimant of the 400, 000-
acre Las Vegas land grant, and
through Don Luis was able to
trace his ancestry back to the
intrepid Alvar Nunez Cabeza de
Baca, one of the first Europeans
to cross the continent from the
Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of
California.
Don Luis Maris Cabeza DeBaca
came to the Spanish province of
New Mexico in the early part of
the eighteenth century and his
is the first of the name of Cabeza
DeBaca to appear in the archives
of New Mexico He and his peo-
pie settled on the meadows sur.
rounding the present town of
Las Vegas and there laid claim
to a gran I of some 400, 600 acres.
The United States finally vested
title TO this grant in the town of
Las Vegas, but permitted De-
Baca and his heirs to select in
lieu of the land four square
tracts of 100. coo acres each.
which are the present DeBaca
grants, constituting four of the
most valuable range and timber
properties in the state. The
family became numerous and
powerful and from the advent of
Don Luis played a prominent
part in the early history of New
Mexico, under Spanish, Mexican
and American rule.
