Caucus Monday NIGHT.

SducuS MOBudN Ni2Ht.
There was an informal caucus of
republican members at the DeVargas
hotel tonight, but no definite action
was taken regarding the speakership
or any of the clerical offices of either
the house or senate. The meeting took
the form of general discussion of the
availability of the various candidates,
and its definite results will be seen
when the formal caucus for nominat-
ing purposes is held tomorrow night.
Frank Staplin has been considered
the most likely candidate for chief
clerk of the house. Mr.. Staplin has
had wide experience in the office and
is thoroughly familiar with all its ms
and outs; but there is an undercur-
rent of sentiment in favor of a Span
ish American for the clerkship which
may result in the slate being broken
at the last minute. Manuel Otero of
Albuquerque, is most frequently men,
toned as an opponent of Mr. Staplin
but the movement in his favor has not
yet taken sufficiently definite form to
warrant a prediction as to the result.
In the Senate.
The slate makers have it that Isidro
Armijo of Las Cruces is to be the chief
clerk of the senate, and at the present
writing there is nothing apparent on
the surface to lead to the belief that
the slate will be disturbed The line
up for sergeant-at-arms is not yet we'll
defined in either house, but with the
speakership practically disposed of it
will not take long to settle upon the
men to fill these positions.
So far there has been no meeting of
the democratic members of the legis-
lature for the purpose of discussing
upon whom will devolve party leader
ship on the floor of the two houses, or
who will be given the complimentary
vote of the minority for speaker. 1t Is
expected that Arthur Seligman, chair
man Of the democratic state central
committee, will call a caucus of the
democrats of senate and house some
time tomorrow to settle these matters.

Cincinnati. Ohio Jan. 7.--Intorvcn-
ton in Mexico not with arms, but by
free, public, non-sectarian schools,
was recommended in a report issued
tonight by self-constituted commit
tee of Americans of national reputa-
ton as educators or publicists. This
committee began studying Mexican
conditions about year and a half
ago Its conclusions were summar-
lied as follows:
The chaos existing in Mexico ia due
to variety of racial elements, woeful
tack of general education. still greater
lack of political experience, and ra-
pacity and cupidity Of the educated
leaders, and, in few instances, of
intelligent uneducated.
The committee recommended es-
adjustment of a non-sectarian col.
lege, modelled afr the Roberts coll
lege in Constantinople, which would
have the backing OF the American
people.
What Mexico Needs.
The crying need of Mexico is edu-
catton--a type of education that will
lift the common people out Of their
sloth and ignorance, and enlist the
better classes in real patriotic serv-
ice.
THE problem is one of the people
of the United States, as we'll as the
Mexicans. Such a proposal is no more
absurd than were similar ones in REP
erence to Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines. The Mexican natives
given the opportunity will readily ac-
quire industrial education. The higher
classes, in spite of the common i'm
preston, have cultural basis that.
wisely directed, will enable them to
hold their own intellectually with the
other peoples of America.
Much Work by the Church.
The present study also reviews
educational work in Mexico since the
coming of the Spaniards. Naturally,
most of the work was carried on
under the auspices of the church. The
mission is the best known and most
useful of its establishments. In ad-
dition, the Catholic church gave Mex
leo its first formal schools and it's
universities But the net result Of
such work among the lower classes
was not great
Some of the states, such as Ja-
lisco, Nuevo Leon and Coahuila, have
admirable educational es-
Men Back of Plan.

Russian Offensive Extends
Over Front of Sixteen Miles
and Berlin Admits Losses
at Some Points,
GERMANS CONTINUE
GAINS ELSEWHERE
Considerable Fighting Is in
Progress Near Riga; Cars
Army Is Severely RepuISed
Near Mitau.

Although the Teutonic allies have
made further advances in Rumania
both in their operation driving east
ward from the mountain region and
Inorthward from Wallachia into Mol
davia, the Russians and Rumanians
at various points are giving them bat
tile and at several places have met
with success
Between Fokshani and Fundeni the
Russians made a strong attack over
a front of about sixteen miles. They
gained ground near Obilechti, says
the German war office, but elsewhere
were repulsed with heavy casualties.
The Petrograd official communica-
ton, however, says the Russians re-
established their former position near
Kapatuno, northwest of Fokshani,
made an advance in the vicinity of
Raspitza lake, and in a surprise at
tack captured trenches to the north
west in the Oituz valley.
German Gains Admitted.
Admission is made by Petrograd
that the Russians and Rumanians on
the upper reaches of the Suchitza
river retired before the advancing in
vaders, while Berlin says that be-
tween the Oituz and Putna valleys the
defenders were pushed back further
toward the plains. Mount Adobesti
was stormed by German detachment
and captured.
On the northern end of the Russian
line in Courland the Russians launch :
ed strong attacks near Mitau, but
were repulsed, suffering casualties
and losing 1900 men made prisoner,
according to Berlin. Near Riga con-
siderable fighting is still in progress.
Little Fighting Elsewhere.
In the other war theaters bonn
bardments and small enterprises by
reconnoitering and raiding parties
have featured the fighting. Rome
reports an advance of about 500 yards
by the Italians near hill 20S during
a surprise aetack. In Macedonia the
British endeavored again to push for
ward their line near Lake Doiran, but
failed, according to Berlin.

Chihuahua City, Mex, Jan. 6 (via
Ell Paso, Tex, Jan. O.-Francisco
Villa was going toward Hacienda Las
Nieves, southwest of Parral, when
last seen by Carranza scouting par
ties, according to private sources
here. Las Nieves ranch was the place
Villa was trying to reach at the time
Major Frank Tompkins and his caV-
airy column pursued him into Parral.
Villa was accompanied by Jose Inez
Salazar, his second in command; Mic
olas Fernandez, Bonifacio TorreZ, and
the two Murga brothers. General
Cavazos of the command of General
Murguia, pursued Villa and his main
command for nine miles along the
Las Nieves road and killed number
of Villas rear guard.
To prevent Villa executing one Of
his characteristic coups and entering
Chihuahua City while the major poT-
ton of the CarranZa garrison are in
the field, General Murguia has sta
toned General Hernandez at Satevo,
southwest of the capital, with suf-
ficient force to prevent Villa from ad-
yancing on the capital along the road
from Parral to Chihuahua City.
A military funeral was given LieL.
tenant Colonel Jesus Valdez r, the
second in command of the machine
gun regiment. who fell fighting at
Jimenez. The garrison troops acted
as an escort, the headquarters mill
tary band played the funeral marches
and General Francisco Gonzales and
many other high officers of the gar
rison attended the services in the Chi
huahua cathedral. Lieutenant Col
onel Valdez r was considered one of
the heroes Of the Jimenez battle, as
he led the charges against Villas per-
sonal command and caused the ma
chine gun command to do deadly exc
cution.
Mexicans Tired of War.
Civilians living in the districts
where Villa has been operating are
lending much assistance to the de
facto forces in pursuing the Villa fol-
io"Cio, SdITdllLd OillCldlS mere ue-
clare. These residents of the war
ridden districts declared they had
grown tried of being robbed, their
homes looted and their property con-
fiscated by the Villa forces. To assist
the government troops in re-esta blish-
ing order, they have joined the Car
rama commands wherever they ap-
pear and fight beside the regular
troops. All are good shots and they
also make excellent scouts and guides
as they know the country perfectly.
These citizen soldiers rendered
assistance to General Her.
nandez at Terreros, near Guerrero,
when he defeated Julio Acosta and
recaptured the loot taken from Chi
huahua City. Assistance was also
given General Murguia's troops at
Jimenez.

Chief of Police A. NJ Kerr is
rather peeved as the result of the
wav case was han He'd in Municipal
court on Tuesday. Chief Kerr
caused the arrest Of Two rather
prominent pei rsonages who were
brought before the court for fight
iny upon the streets OF the city and
their cases were dismissed, and he
saws it was stated that no statute
could be found that would cover
the case The C .;el says if Ii lighting
is to be permitted because no
statute can be found by WHICH par
ticipaars can be held, that be might
as we'll begin taking instructions
as a referee and If fights are TO be
allowed that they be urder the
"Qurenbury rules. Chief Kerr
says the scrap" in question does
not seem to have been conducted
under any rules.

OFFICERS RAID
''BLIND PICS"
Two FinIanders Caught in
Police Net
Plead Guilty and Pay Fine
Amounting to Seventy-five
Dollars and Costs.

Suspecting that one or two
places in the city were being
run as blind pigs officers OF
the law made raids last Friday
morning with the result that
when the net was closed two
Finlanders were arrested
charged with selling intoxicating
liquors without a license. They
were Gus Hendrickson and Matt
Koskie.
The raid was planned by
Chief of Police A. M. Kerr,
Sheriff Andy Murray and
Deputy Long and Internal
Revenue collector C. A. Pound
stone. The places visited were
the brick building run by Matt
Koskie and the pool hall operated
by Gus Hendrickson.
Quite a little excitement was
caused along the street when
the officers came along
with their prisoners and suit
cases loaded with booze and
beer taken in the raid. Just as
the officers were returning from
the places they learned that the
express wagon had arrived at
the places with another con-
signment of liquor and this also
was taken up to the court house.
The prisoners were taken to
the court house where Matt
Koskie plead guilty to the charge
of selling intoxicating liquor
and was given a fine of $75 and
costs by Municipal Judge Calder.
Hendrickson decided to plead
not guilty and his case was set
for the following day and when
court was opened he too changed
his mind and entered a plea Of
guilty and received the same
fine as Koskie.
On Tuesday morning of this
week Chief Kerr, again hearing
that liquor was being sold, made
another raid single handed and
arrested Gust Hendrickson,
Enock Koskie, Matt Koskie, and
Charles Mattson and the trial of
their cases has been set for Fri
day morning, Feb. 23rd.

Says Nine Blind.Piggers have
been Convicted.
All Pay Fines Ranging from
$50 and Up Some Serving
Sentences.

AS a result of the agitation
which has been stirred up dur.
ing the past few weeks over the
blindpigging in the city of Wash
burn Chief of Police A. M. Kerr
this week makes a report to this
paper in which he shows the
number of cases which have
been before the court during
the past year.
Chief Kerr says some people
seem to have gained the impress
sion that there has been no ar
rests during the past
year for blindpigging and he
wants to correct this impression.
Chief Kerr says he wishes it
stated further that there has
been no arrests thus far in
which any of those arrested
have been acquitted, which
shows that he did not make
arrests until he had the proper
evidence.
Chief Kerr's reports shows
the following arrests and con-
victions for selling intoxicating
liquors illegally:
| J. R. Newlin and wife Eliza,
John Fildt,
Andy Ryan.~e-,..s
John r. Newlin and wife,
Albert Greenwood,
Gus Hendrickson,
Matt Koski.
In each case the Police Chief
says the fines amounted to $50
each or more. In addition to
the above cases A. M. Smith
and wife were convicted of
keeping a house of i'll fame and
each is now serving a IA months
sentence in the prison at Wau-
pom.
Since the above report was
made four more persons have
been arrested charged with sell
ing Intoxicating liquors, being
Gust Hendrickson, Enock Koski,
Matt Koski and Charles Matt
son. These cases will be heard
on the 23rd of this month.
