At a special meeting of the
city council Wednesday evening
plans were discussed for the OBJ
servance of Registration Day"
June 5th in this city. Mayor
George Hammer will issue a pro-
clamation which is to be printed
and circularized. The procla-
-mation will request that all bust
ness be suspended during the
hours of registration e a. m.
until 8. p. m. } and suggests that
business houses and saloons close
on that day. 1t will also ask
for a patriotic program to be
given and the day commemor-
ated.
A committee composed of
Messrs Robson, Farley, Fisher
Kerr, Morningstar, Coon and
Bush was chosen by the council
te arrange for a program. This
committee will cake up the mat =
ter with some of the Lordsburg
womenswho are always ready to
aid i'll affairs of this nature.
1t is planned to have the pres
ident's proclamation read at the
registering place and addresses
and other features given. At
z o'clock the church bells will
ring and whistles will blow to
notify the people that the regis
tration is under way.
Every citizen should aid in
making June 5th a day to be re-
me mbered in Lordsburg.

LOrdsburg Receives
Publicity; Clue Fails

Lordsburg obtained an unus-
ual amount of publicity last week
in connection with a "clue" to the
murder of Thos. Lyons. AS was
stated in last weeks Liberal, a
car containing paint spots was
found in a local garage. The
spots were supposed to be blood,
according to an Ell Paso detec-
tive. Deduction found two in
nocent soldiers at Hachita who
brought the car here. The Ell
PasO Times says of the incident:
Since the red spots on the tour
ing car found Wednesday noon
in LordsburR, N. NJ, by Special
Officer Henry Blum have proved
to be red paint and not human
blood, private detectives and city
detectives are seeking a touring
car said to have passed through
Las Cruces a few days ago and
which is believed to be the ma
chine in which Thomas Lyons,
wealthy Silver City cattleman,
was slain after he was met at
the union station by a we'll
dressed man on the night of
May II.
A side curtain and a floor mat
of the touring car were brought
to FL Paso by Officer Blum. The
red spots on the curtain and mat
were examined in the labratOry
of DR.. Willis H. Wait, Saturday.
Upon making his report to County
Attorney w. H. Fryer, the ply
siclan said the spots were caused
by red paint. 1t is understood
the gray hairs found in the stains
are from rabbit hide.
Officer Blum went to Hachita,
N. NJ, Friday night to bring two
men to Ell Paso who he claims to
have arrested after finding the
car with the red spots. Word
was received from him Monday
morning that another arrest
would be made Sunday in con-
nection with the case.

Register Tuesday, June 5th in Justice
Of Peace Office Instructions
Here and on Page Three

Tuesday, June 5th, is registra-
ton day for all males from the
ages of 21 to 30 years.
I'm Lordsburg, the registration
will be held at the Justice of the
Peace office, and at the SO mine,
H. b. Croos will be registrar at
the usual voting place.
The President has by procla-
nation designated Tuesday, June
9th, as Registration Day, "the
day upon which the manhood of
the country shall step forward in
solid rank in defense of the ideals
to which this nation is conse-
Grated. "
Registration day should be cele-
brated as a conservation of the
American people to service and
to sacrifice. 1t should he a well
come to those registering. 1t
should be a public expression of
each community of Willingness to
offer its sons to the country for
the service they are each best
fitted to render.
Registration day should be cele-
brated in a serious spirit and kept
as Registration Day ONLY. 1t
must be distinguished from the
ordinary holiday. No other OBJ
jects should be allowed to intrude
thereon.
1t is suggested that the Com
mittee see to it that every eligi-
ble young man presents himself
for registration. A large number

Stock Raising HOmesteaders are
Advised by Commissioner that
Designation is Under Way

In reply will say that while
the purpose sought to be accom-
plished is no doubt commenable,
numerous obstacles are in the
way which are not easy to over
come. In the first place, appli-
cations under this act already
aggregate over fifty thousand,
covering over twenty million
acres, scattered as you know
throughout the entire west. In
the next place, the land must be
designated before applications
can be allowed. In the next
place, this matter of designation
has been turned over to the Geo
logical Survey, which bureau has
not as yet been supplied with
necessary funds to do any of this
work at all, except such as they
are probably able to do right here
in Washington on the basis of
their Office records. In the next
place, the law specifically pro-
vides that there shall be no right
to occupy lands applied for until
the lands have been designated
as stock-raising lands. AS the
law stands now, therefore, it
seems to me that the only solu-
ton of the problem presented is
to proceed as rapidly as possible
and get the lands designated, or
to decide that they can not be
designated, so that all these pen
ding applications can be allowed
or rejected. When we consider
the tremendous number of such
applications and the acreage in
volved, it is apparent that this
cannot be done in a minute.
Yours very truly,

Requests have come to the
local commissioner, the Com
missioner of Public Lands
the State Council of Defense
and other authorities from peo-
pie in various sections of New
Mexico, who have applied for
the designation of land FOR entry
under the 640-acre, or grazing
homestead act, that some action
be secured whereby applicants
might take possession of the
land this year and farm it during
the present crop season in order
to do their bit toward meeting
the food crisis.
The reply of Honorable Clay
Tallman, Commissioner of the
General Land Office, to requests
for information as to the status
of the grazing homestead appli-
cations will be of interest to hun
dreds of prospective entrymen
in all parts of New Mexico, who
have applied for designation of
such lands. Mr.. Tallman's let
ter, addressed to the State Coun-
Gil of Defense, is as follows:

Santa Fe, New Mexico.
My dear SIR
The Secretary of the Interior
has referred tome your telegram
of the End inst, advising that
the State Land Commissioner
informs you that homesteaders
are asking that steps be taken
to allow the land applied for un-
der the Grazing Homestead Act
to be used for farming purposes
this season, and you join in the
request that immediate action be
taken to that end.

Wallis Evans Killed
In Jerome Strike

All Lordsburg was greatly
shocked and grieved Thursday
afternoon when word was re-
ceived here from Chicago, that
Wallis Evans son of d. J. Evans
president of the Western Mining
and Development Company of
this city, was shot and killed by
strikers Tuesday night at the
United Verde mine in Jerome,
Arizona.
Young Mr.. Evans was well
known here and until two weeks
ago was a valuable employe of
the 85 Mining Company in the
assaying and engineering depart
ment. He was very popular a.
mong the younger set of Lords
burg and during his stay here
had made hundreds of friends to
whom the news came as a severe
shock. Only a short time ago
he left here to go to Jerome
where he had obtained an excel
lent position with one of the
larger mining com p a n { S.
Friends here had heard from
hi m often since leaving.
Wednesdays press dispatches
from Jerome contained the news
that shots were fired into a group
of United Verde mine employees
as they rushed from the mine to
the railroad depot in response to
a fire alarm. killing two men one
of whom was Jim Evans,
aged Is years. " No other de-
tails are obtainable as to the kill
ling.
Wallis Evans was the only son
of Mr.. and Mr.. d. J. Evans of
Ill. He graduated last
year from the University of Hi
nois coming to New Mexico to
make a start in the commercial
world. He was a promising
young man of unusual ability
and that he should be so brutally
murdered in the prime of his life
adds to the weight of the sorras-
of his friends.
To the bereft father and moth
er the deepest sympathy of the
community is extended.
Several weeks ago Wallis
Evans made application for ad-
mittance into the officers reserve
training camp at Preside, Calf.
having taken his examination at
Hachita. He was working at
Jerome awaiting word from the
western headquarters regards
his application.
