WITHDRAWS NAMES OF
FORMER APP0INTEES

Denver, Feb. 22.--Withdrawal of
present appointees to the state indus
trial commission, whose confirmation
by the senate supporters of Governor
Gunter have been unable to bring
about and the substitution of others
by the executive tomorrow morning

cles at the capitol tonight. Report
to this effect gained credence on the
senate floor shortly before that body
adjourned.
The new appointees, it is said, will
be Amos H. Parrish, republican, La
mar; Hiram L. Hits, democrat, Den
yer; George Dinsmore, democrat, AT
amosa. The names now pending be-
fore the senate are d. c. Burns, Dem
yer; Joel Grantham, Conejos county;
John f. Pearson, Gunnison.

assurance the new appointees can be
confirmed. He held a lengthy con-
ference with senate leaders today.
Action on the original appointees had
been expected this morning.
The house was not in session.

Congressman Would Have
Date of Bone Dry Law Ef-
fective Oct, |, Instead Of on
Presidents Approval

Washington, Feb. 22.-Representa-
tive Moon of Tennessee, chairman OF
the postoffce committee, introduced
a concurrent resolution today provid
ing postponement of the effective date
of the "bone dry prohibition amend
ment, adopted yesterday, until Octo-
ber /, 1917.
During debate on the amendment
in the house there were urgent ap-
peals that liquor dealers be given time
to dispose of stock and readjust their
business. Prohibition leaders turned
deaf ears to them, fearing that any
change in the provision as it passed
the senate might mean its defeat but
many are disposed to vote for post
ponement, once the bill has been sent
to the president for his signature.
The preamble of Chairman Moons
resolution says:
THE states which have passed laws
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of liquors and the storing of the same
within their borders have recognized
the fact that such business heretofore
had been legal and have, in view of
this, by their enactments given to
dealers a reasonable time within which
to dispose of their stocks or remove
the same from the state before the
becoming effective of such laws.
The course followed in this respect is
clearly right and just and it would be
manifest injustice and would work
great hardship for the federal gov
ernment to deprive these parties of
the rights guaranteed by the states by
immediate denial of interstate COM
merce for the shipments of such
liquors, which effect will. in its pres
ent aspect, automatically follow the
enactment of the prohibition amend
ment"
Differences between the house and
senate on other features of the appro-
priation bill will be taken up in con-
ference tomorrow.
The house rules committee agreed
today to consider tomorrow a special
rule to bring up in the house the sem
ate bill for prohibition in the District
of columbia. The committee Is said
to stand eight to three in favor of the
rules.
Representative Calligan of Massa-
chusetts introduced bill today for
prohibition referendum to the people
of the district. 1t is identical with the
Underwood amendment rejected by
the senate.

New York, Feb. 22.-The American
Railway association issued a state.
ment here today on behalf of it's cal
service commission, which is cooper.
ating with the Interstate Commerce
commission irf the car shortage situa-
ton, in reply to the request made
upon the eastern railroads yesterday
by j. H. Griffin, president of the Chi
cago board of trade, that embargoes
be imposed upon all eastbound com,
modities except fuel and foodstuffs.
The associations statement asserts
that representatives of the Chicago
board who appeared before the car
service commission in Washington a
few days ago were assured everything
would be done to meet emergencies,
but that the grain men had shown no
emergency" 1t was asserted to the
commission, the statement says, that
so per cent of the cars Chicago needed
were for export grain.

Small engagements by raiding and
accommodating parties and reciprocal
bombardments, which are of consider
able intensity at various points, are
still going on in all the war theaters.
Nowhere has q big engagement taken
place.
The Germans in Belgium near
Roodepoort and n France east of Ver-
melles and soutii Of Neuve Chapelle,
made thrusts wa raiding parties
against the entente lines, but accord
ing to both Paris and London, they
were repulsed with losses. Berlin re-
ports that near Armentieres the Brit
ish entered German positions but later
were driven out, leaving 200 dead in
the trenches. In addition, thirty nine
men were made prisoner. Spirited
artillery activity continues in the
Verdun sector at Cote du PoiVre.
The repulse of small Russian at
tacks in the Lake Naroc2 region of
Russia, successful raids by the Ger
mans in Galicia near Zlochoff, where
250 Russians were taken prisoner, and
small attacks in the wooded Carpath-
ians, with the advantage resting with
the Austro- Germans, are related in
the German official communication.
I'm the latter region, however, Petro-
grad claims a repulse by the Russians

In Rumania a heavy snow storm is
hampering operations.
Considerable artillery activity con-
tinues on the Macedonian front, where
trench raiding operations also are be-

The latest reports from London and
Paris show that vessels of an aggre-
gate tonnage of more than 21,000
have been sent to the bottom by sub
marines or mines. The vessels sunk
were four British steamers and a

SENATE CONSIDERS
REVENUE AMENDMENT

Washington, Feb. 22.---After three
days of general debate on the emer-
gency revenue bill the senate to-
night got down TO detailed consdera-
tion of amendments, No votes were
taken.
Chairman simmons of the finance
committee, defended the excess profits
tax as a special preparedness levy.
He opposed an amendment by Senator
Watson of Indiana to have the tax
expire December 81, 1919, instead OF
July l, 1921, saying the extra money
was needed for the five-year naval
building program. If the prepared
ness program could be completed eaI -
lier, Senator simmons said tht l-,
would be repealed.
Senator Watson insisted thai the
four-year tax was unnecessary be
cause if war should occur, congress
could meet any emergency.

SAYS OFFICIAL
Under-secretay of State
Speaks at Washington
Birthday Banquet Given by|
American Club in Paris.


Paris Feb. 22.-The French gov
ernment was represented at the Wash
ington birthday dinner of the Ameri-
can club tonight in the person of
Rene Besnard, under secretary of
state. Mr.. Besnard recalled the words
of Washington to congress in 1888:
THE highest ambition of every
American should be to look beyond
his own freside to reflect upon that
his conduct interests not only himself,
his country and his posterity but that
it's influence may extend to the world
and prepare the political happiness or
misfortune of generations and of ages
to come"
America. consequently, said NJ. Bes-
nard, when brought face to face with
people led by the most monstrous
folly of violence and tyranny the
world ever has known, could not long
remain a simple spectator. After
paying tribute to the individual Amer
leans who had volunteered for service
in France with the army and flying
corps, NJ. Besnard sketched the pres
ent situation of the French army and
declared that, far from being worn
out or even fatigued, France was still
ready to go through to the end.

Funeral Procession at Las
Vegas One Of the Longest
and Most Notable Ever
Seen in New Mexico.
CROWDS OVERFLOW
THE LARGE CHURCH
"Our Lady Of Sorrows" Can
not Accommodate Throng
of Friends, State Officials,
Legislators, and Others
CBy II. l.. ID. McAllister, Staff Corre-
spOndent.)

Las Vegas, n. NJ, Feb. 22-Fol-
lowed by q concourse of sorroWlng
friends, of state officials and members
of the legislature and of hundreds OF
others who admired and loved the
public life of the man, the mortal re-
mains of Governor f. c. de Baca were
laid to rest in Mount Calvary ceme-
terry in this city today.
The funeral procession was one OF
the longest and most notable ever seen
in New Mexico. AT 8 o'clock TINS
morning, the civil and military escort
and visitors to Las Vegas VINO hau
come for the occasion, gathered at the
Castaneda hotel, where literally every
automobile in the city had been pro
vided for their transportation. The
procession then formed and the long
line of cars wound its way out to the
old town of Las Vegas to the residence
of Mrs Manuel C. de Baca, where the
body of the governor had lain all
night From the de Baca residence
the body was taken to the church of
our Lady of Sorrows, where requiem
high mass was celebrated.
Crowds Overflow Church.
The large church was wholly made
ouate for the accommodation of the
throng that sought admittance.
Chairs were placed in the aisles and
in rear and front of the pews, while
hundreds stood outside unable to gain
admittance to the building. The SOL
emn burial service of the Catholic
church was conducted by Rev. Father
Balland as celehrant, with Father Ri
vera as deacon and Father Rabeyrolle
as sub-deacon. The funeral sermon,
delivered by Rev Father Garde, S. j..
a schoolmate and personal friend of
Governor de Baca, was unusually elo-
quent The example of patriotism and
the lesson of service taught by the
life of Governor de Baca and the fact
that ne placed his duty to his state
and his people above>love of life, were
emphasized by the priest in manner
to inspire all his hearers. He declared
that it is impossible to separate the
public life from the private life of a
citizen and that Governor de Baca's
virtues as a public official were the
outgrowth of his deep devotion to lof-
ty religious ideals.
A raw, chill wind was blowing as
the funeral party left the church, but
practically the entire congregation fol-
lowed the hearse to Mount Calvary
cemetery, where the final religious
rites were observed. AS the Casket
was lowered into the grave the widow
and two daughters of the dead gov
ernor gave way to uncomfortable
grief, and it was necessary to carry
them from the cemetery.
The special train bearing members
of the legislature and state officials
returned to Santa Fe this afternoon.

Federal Trade Commission
Wants Conference Before
It Accepts Proposition of
Print Paper Manufacturers.


Washington, Feb. 22-More than
100 representative newspaper publish
ers were asked by the federal trade
commission to come here early next
week for conferences regarding the
proposal of the paper manufacturers
that the commission fix prices for
news print paper
Until the publishers are heard the
commission probably will not decide
whether to accept the manufacturers
suggestion.
Publishers invited tonight to come
here represent every class of the busi-
ness in the cd ntry. Many of them
print small pal ers, hardest hit by the
present high p ce of print paper. Any
agreement fixing prices will carry
with it the stipulation that publishers
limit their paper uses to minimum
and that point will be taken up par
ticularly at next weeks conferences.
The print paper committee of the
American Newspaper Publishers as
sociation met here tonight to consider
the paper situation. Their general at
titude, il is understood, is toward CO.
