GOVERNORS REASON
FOR MARTIAL LAW IN
NEW MEXICO FIELDS

The proclamation of Governor Lar
Colfax and Mckinley Counties says,
after having consulted with local
peace officers of the counties Of Col
fax and Mckinley, in the state of New
Mexico. and after an investigation con-
Quoted by myself, find:
THAT following the strike inaugu-
rated by the coal miners in certain
coal districts in said counties, re-
spectively, a condition of public ex-
citement and insecurity of the per-
sons willing workers exists that these
conditions amount to insurrection in
the aforesaid localities and districts
of said counties, so that people who
are willing TO work in the coal mines
dare not do so for fear of serious
physical injury to themselves, to their
families and to their property, and:
"That by reason thereof the coal
mines in said districts have ceased 20
be operated and the necessary pro-
duction Of coal is made impossible,
and that thereby the peace, quiet law
full and orderly existence of said com.
munities has been interrupted, that
protection to the lives and the proper
ty of those living in said communi-
ties cannot be given under the ordi-
nary process of law by the civil autho-
rites therein and the peace, quiet and
comfort of the whole state is thereby
seriously endangered and jeopardized.
Now, therefore, in view of these
conditions which | am satisfied do
exist in said counties, and which the
peace officers of said counties have
reported to me they are not able 20
meet, cope with and control, do here
by publicly proclaim and declare:
That a state of insurrection exists
in said counties of Colfax and Nc
Kinley, in The state of New Mexico. in
virtue whereof | have called for the
intervention of federal troops in said
counties, to the end that through their
instrumentality and agency peace and
order may be maintained in said coun-
ties:
That full and ample protection may
be equally afforded and extended 10
, all persons who may be willing -
work either in the aforesaid mines or
otherwise, to their families and de-
. pendents and to their property, and
also:
That the aforesaid mines and prop

scription that may be found to exist
within the limits of the aforesaid
! counties may be fully protected fro.'
! injury and destruction and that in all
things order, peace and law may ne

ther declare:
. That martial law exists and is in
force in said counties from and after
the date Of the proclamation and un-

really was. The body was viewed by

guests at the Manhattan hotel at
Sharon Springs, N. Y, which burned
to the ground at 6:30 o'clock Saturday

alarm by rushing through the halls
crying fire.
Mrs. Streiff was spending the sum-
mer at the hotel and was awakened
at 6:30 o'clock by the sound of flames
which she could see through her
bedroom window. The fire had start
ed in the kitchen of the hotel and
spread with such swiftness that the
guests had only time to leave the
building before it was burned to the
ground. The guests were forced to
flee in their night clothes and were
supplied with clothing by the Red
Cross at Sharon.
Not only was the Manhattan hotel
burned blu the Morrell hotel, adjoin-
ing was also consumed by the fire, al
though the guests were able to save

The ferryboat Perth 'Amboy of the

of this city yesterday afternoon and
had to be taken to the company's S
shops at Clifton, Staten Island, for
repairs. With the shaft broken the

York city and other places.
Captain Reuben Androvette was in
charge at the time OF the accident
and Engineer Patrick McGrath was in
the engine room. The boat was well
filled with automobiles and passen-
gers. The accident happened just as
the boat was making the turn after
leaving the slip at the foot of Smith

away about two weeks to have a new
shaft installed The ferryboat
Tottenville will be on the route until
that time. 1t is estimated that about

planned Of to Mayor

Morris Epstein, 40 years old pro-
prietor of a saloon at 348 Oak street

in default of $1,000 bail to await the
action of the Grand Jury charged
with violation of the excise regula-
tioEs for selling on Sunday following
his arrest in a raid by plainclothes-
men last night. Epstein's saloon is
reputed to be the meeting place of
negro women and white men and has
been the cause of frequent complaints
to the police department. Epstein was
warned by Mayor Frank Dorsey in an
interview Friday morning that the
character of his place must be
radically changed If he intends to con-
tinue in business.
A bottle partially filled, and labeled
beer was produced before Recorder
ing by Plainclothesmen John F. Muir
ing by Palinclothesmen John F. Muir
ray and Michael 'Muska. The officers
also produced an affidavit signed by
two of the men who were found at the
saloon who swore that they bought
beer there last night.
There was considerable resistance
put up when the officeEb entered the
place, they told the court and it was
not before revolvers had been drawn
that the proprietor subsidized. An at
tempt by one of the plainclothesmen
to obtain a bottle of beer" that was
on the bar was nearly frustrated by
Epstein when he endeavored to knock
the bottle over and spill the con-
tents
The plainclothesman's hand was
too quick for the bartender however
and as result the trophy was on ex-
hibition before the Recorder. Epstein
asserted that the stuff was not real
beer but only near-beer. A Whit
that pervaded the court room when
the cork was removed appeared to
satisfy the court and the policemen
that the stuff was real"

rested before on similar charges" Re-
corder Pickersgill said, IF l am not

ners. The maintenance of places of
