Students and faculty of the I'M
maculate Conception school enjoyed
treat yesterday afternoon when +, r..
Vassar. mining engineer and explorer
of countries all around the world, ad-
dressed the school assembly IN st.
Mary's hall. Father A. NJ Mandalarl
introduced Mr.. Nassar as a walking
geography"
The speaker talked interestingly of
travels in the land of the midnight
sun beyond the Arctic circle. He de-
clared that the island specified by
CAPTAIN peary as the one he had dis
covered and passed over, is not to be
found at all and that when the Scott
expedition, of which Vassar was sec
ond in command, reported that
Peary's landmarks are not there. He
said Captain Peary admitted to geo
graphic society in New York that he
might have seen a mirage instead
of the island he said he had been on.
In recounting experiences in South
America he described many flourish
ing Catholic missions. The great ca
thedra at Cartegena Colombia, has
an underground tunnel of cement that
is a greater feat in engineering than
the famous tube under the Hudson
river. The South American tube
is longer and was constructed in 1923.

by snow. 1t was stated in the Gallup
report that the thaw had begun and
that roads in that vicinity were very

Roads in the region of Laguna were
reported good and those entering Es

MI: RCHANTS DON 7
LIKE To Be MADE
TAX COLLECTORS
General Objection Is Made to
One Clause Of New War
Revenue Bill Protests Sent
to Congressman,

The new war revenue bill. signed
by President Wilson Tuesday, has
aroused a protest from the dry goods
and clothing Merchants throughout
the country, according to information
received here, owing to the fact That
the bill as il now reads makes 1t OBJ
ligatory on the part of such merch-
ants to collect internal revenue tax
on certain articles sold by them ana
make remfttances to the government.
The bill places a tax of 10 per cent
on carpets and rugs, pocket-bookS,
purses, portable lighting fixtures,
lamps, shades, umbrellas, parasols,
sun shades, womens and misses hats,
mems and boys hats, mems and boys
caps, neokties and neckwear, mems
and boys silk stockings and hose, Wo-
mems and misses silk stockings ana
hose, women's, boys and misses pa
iamas, night gowns and underwear
and kimonas, petticoats and waists,
sold in excess of certain prices, which
are fully set forth in the measure.
THE 10 per cent tax" the bill'adds,
Imposed by this section shall be paid
by the purchaser to the vendor at the
time of sale and shall he collected,
returned and paid to the United
States by such vendor"
Local merchants say they do not
object to the tax imposed by the bill.
but it should be added at the source
and RENTED from there, as is done
with nearly all other articles coming
within the purview of the bill. They
point out that particularly in the
larger stores here, it would be neces-
sary To employ one or more addition
al clerks to, post themselves as to the
prov sions of the law, mark goods and
keep track of the revenue tax.
Dozens of messages were sent by
Albuquerque merchants to New Mex
leo members of congress, and others
protesting against this provision OF
the bill, and it was stated that at least
one merchant in every town in the
country had been requested to take
similar action, hoping that sufficient
pressure would be brought to bear
upon congress to have the law amend
ed so as to make the tax collectable
where the articles originate.
1.-THE situation in brief, is this

HE ENTERED DUKE
CITY At HEAD OF
SOUTHERN TROOPS
More Than Half Century Later
H, S, SiSk of Houston, Tex
ass Comes Back to Visit Son
and Daughter Here,

Fifty-seven years, almost to the day.
after he entered AlbuquerQue-then
a small group of saloons, adobe dwell
ings and q church-at the head of
troop of Texas cavalry, II. s. Ssk OF
Houston, Tex, returned here to visit
his daughter. Mrs. II. c. Baker, 1907
East Central avenue. and his son, Ar
thur Sisk.
Mr.. Sisl< first saw Albuquerque in
February, 1862, riding up the Rio
Grande valley at the head of Troop
K. Fifth Texas cavalry, as lieutenant
in command, and probably few others,
if, any. of the men who saw the town
under the same circumstances are
living today. Mr.. Sisk soon will be
- years old but he doesn't look il.
He has the appearance and activity
of n man in the prime of life.
The Albuquerque that Mr.. Sisk saw
then was a far different Albuquerque
from that which he saw when he
alghtod from a train at the Santa Fe
station a week ago. The town visited
by the Texas horsemcn in the early
part of the civil war was the Old
Town of today only not so much of it
as there is. now. The new town had
not even been dreamed of then. and
the site was almost as barren as the
mesa is now.
The Texans encamped necr the Old
town and remained there some time.
Then they marched northWard, en-
countering federal forces a-ain in the
Glorieta region. There resulted the
battle of Glorieta, and the Texans
turned back. stopping to camp in Ii
ieras canyon at the site OF Camp
Whitcomb, eighteen miles east of here,
on their return march. ...
Lieutenant Sisk was wounded at
the battle of Val Verde, but not Scr
ously and he was able to continue on
the march. A shell fragment tore
off the crown of his hat and inflicted
a scalp wound as he was charging a
federal battery. The shock felled him
and he lost consciousness momentar-
lily, but recovered and stayed in the
fight to the finish.
Although his arrival on the spot
where Albuquerque grew antedates
the coming of most. # not all. of the
pioneers now living here, Mr.. Sisk
claims only to be a pioneer of Texas,
because OF his continued residence in
that state, and takes justiflable pride
in that, As an official of the Lone
Star state, holding appointments I'M
der three governors, he helped in
shaping the growth of the young
state. He stated, however that he
always likes to visit Albuquerque, hay
ing much the same feeling toward the
city II 1T a man has toward a youth
he has watched grow from infancy.
He has been here several times.
Mr.. Sisk has been here a week and
will depart today for Arizona to visit
another son.
