Bolsheviki Murder
Tobolsk Bishop

Vladivostok, Dec. 14.--(Correspond,
ence of The Associated Press.)-Bish-
op Hermogen of Tobolsk, was torturl
ed and murdered by Bolsheyiki, &C
cording to a private letter received
here. Since the early days of Boil
shevism the bishop had fearlessly de-
nounced their work and for this was
forbidden to preach.
The aged churchman defied the Boil
sheviki and in his preachings display
ed greater energy than ever In con-
demning the Soviet authorities. The
Bolsheviki arrested him and took him
to Ekaterinburg. Thereupon the pop
ulation OF Tobolsk province, who great
ly revered their old bishop, sent a
delegation to demand his liberation.
The Czecho-SlOvaks at that time be-
gan to occupy Western Siberia and
the Bolshevild feared to provoke the
peasants Of Tobolsk. They released
the bishop and started him back to
Tobolsk under escort OF Red Guard
A steamer was provided and
the delegation, headed by the bishop
proceeded triumphantiy as far as
Pakroysk village. Here they met a
steamer carrying the Czecho.Slovaks
or White Guards. Rainier than have
the bishop liberated by them the Red
Guard decided to kill him, The old
man raj beaten and forced TO carry
heavy burdens OF ammunition during
The flight OF the convoy. When he
could "a no further, says the inform
ant, his %torturers tied q rock to his
'eet and threw him into the river.
The body was recovered later by
people and given burial in Tobolsk,

Another Evaporation sa.
Station Installed
BY Weather Bureau

In the annual New Mexico weather
report Section Director Chas. E. Lin
ney, says.
Another Glass ZAP station was
added to our group Of evaporation
stations during the year-the Agricul-
tural College-and it should prove Of
unusual interest in showing the con-
ditions that obtain in our southern
valleys. Generally the evaporation OF
the year vas less than during 1917.
Thus at the Agricultural College, the
record beginning in September, the
results indicate somewhat greater
evaporation than at the Elephant
Butte dam, and a probable total in
excess of 100 inches. This actually
occurred at the dam where the total
for the year was 105.042 inches, but
this is, nevertheless, more than four
inches below the record for 1917. The
greater precipitation and ~cloudiness
probably accounts for this, since the
winds were higher during the year
than during 1917. At the Santa Be
field station the temperature, wind
and evaporation were all lower than
during 1917, but the precipitation al
most three times as great. At the
experiment station near TueumcarI,
the results for the months given
(April to September inclusive) were
somewhat lower than during 1917, and 4
it is probable that the record for the
other six months Of the year, if II
had been taken, would have shown a.
total OF approximately 80 inches. Par.
tial records only were obtained at the
floating pan stations at Lake Avalon
and near Pennington, the latter, how
ever, showing 1876 inches for eleven
months of the year. The results thus
far obtained indicate much greater
evaporation from the open pan OF the
Glass "A" station than from the float
Ing pans.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT will ever live IN the history Of our country as
one Of its greatest and most conspicuous characters, for he was great not
as a President o. a republic, but he was equally great as a private cl
zen, and the work that he did for his country q well by advice as by I'm
and patriotic action and devotion, demand that we think OF him often;
that we keep In mind the counsel that he gave to his counrymen, and that
by following that counsel and advice re may become better and more useful
citizens. nf f n4l wnt4efat n
With this object in view, and to the end that we may properly do honor
to the memory of that distinguished citizen, T. Q. A. Lauazolo, governor of
the state Of New Mexico, do hereby set apart
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9th, A. D. 1919 YF 2rfM4lTN3

every community of this state d that day, whether religious or civil, as may
appear proper and convenient to our citizens, so we may thereby prove our

lNoulRERs WANT TO KNOW If
THIS MEANS THAT OLD JOBS

A recent bulletin by the u. s. EN-

few opportunities to secure employ

Representatives Of the employment
service for posting, says in part:
In case any men from the state of
New Mexico are stationed at the camp
where you are making your headquar
tiers, we ask that you call their at,
tention to the fact that there are very
few opportunities to secure employ
iment in this state at the present time.
I'VE think best to give you this in

matter to the young men and il oppor-

elsewhere, they will not let the chance
60 by, thinking that employment will
be furnished them upon their return
to this state.
There are very few industries in
this state-the chief occupations are
mining, farming and maintenance Of

there Is little work to be had on farms.
The mines are no longer in need Of

London, Feb. 4.-Thousands Of Lon.
doners who because Of the shortage
of domestic help during the war had
become hotel dwellers either went
without breakfast this morning, or
compelled to be satisfied with a cup
of tea or coffee and a slice OF bread.
This situation was the result of the
strike Of hotel workers which has
partly broken up the kitchen staffs
and the table service in the large
hotels Of the west end OF the city.
The kitchen staffs. which are largely
made up Of foreigners, demand an
eight hour day and a rs per cent in

the abolition Of the system under
which their tips are pooled and di.
yided, with a commission on the TAX.

Important That All
Superintendent Go to
National Meeting

The state school superintendent
has sent out the following letter:
February 3, 1919.
To Boards of Education:
There are two very important
meetings for administrative school
officials to be held during this
month. The one is the National
Meeting of the Society Of Vocational
Education which holds its annual
convention this year in st. Louis,
|February go to 22nd. The other is
The Department Of superintendent
of the National Education Associa-
ton, which meets in Chicago Febru-
airy gath. to- March list. Each Of
these meetings is OF greatest impor-
lance to our county and city SUI
p~erintendents and since they meet In
the same section of the country and
at consecutive periods it win be pos
sibie for the superintendents frUm
New Mexico to attend both meet
ings. However, it. is especially desir-
ed that our superintendent may at
tend the Department of Superin
tendence meeting in Chicago.
This is undoubtedly the most i'm
portant meeting for superintendents
and / sincerely hope that New Mex
leo will send a good delegation
of city and county superintendent
to the meeting. IN the past the
department of education has called
attention to the progress that has
been made in educational matters IN
this state which is due largely to
4bo lw4o1I4~nrt t4ow@rA 1-4h-.I~~.
and activity Of the t~wenty-eight
superintendent and our eight
or ten city superintendent. This
attitude on the part OF our super
intendents has been a result to a
extent OF their attendance On
these educational meetings where
have benefited not only by the
new ideas suggested but from the
Inspiration which they have received
from the educational leaders Of the

held that money expended by

.ure that 1t is fully justified.
II, therefore, your board of edu-
alton will make 1t possible for your

ng to be held In Chicago the latter
,art of this month, believe that
lis attendance win have the q
esult OF advertising still further the
educational interests of your com
nunity and OF increasing the eff
iency of your superintendent. The
mount allowed should be sufficient
0 cover the railroad fare and the
easonable living expenses for the

hat your board make the necessary
