"The highlands east OF tho Jordan
river are strewn with ruins marking
the rise and fall of the successive

served for the modern explorer by

swept up from the Arabian desert:

beautiful and most enchanting spots
upon this earth-the Rock City OF

FOOTBALL SEASON
WILL Be OPENED
BY HIGH SCHOOL
First Game viii Be Played
Saturday Afternoon At
Washington Park Against
the MenauI Institute Eleven,

The gridiron sport will be intro
duced for the 1919 season in the
Duke City by the high school and
Menaul school teams, playing Sat
urday afternoon at Washington park.
The time of the game will be an
nounced later.
The high school is believed by
Coach Moore, after watching the
squad in training for the last three
weeks, to have one of the strongest
teams in its history. and he has hope
that the team will duplicate the feat
of the 1917 eleven, which hung up
an ever-victorious record The school
had no team last year on account of
the war.
Only two veterans-Captain Her.
nandez and Halfback Harrington
will be in the high schools lineup.
The rest of the team is made up of
recruits, but in practice they have
shown promise, and Coach Moore
believes the high school would not
suffer any for want of shock units.
The first team is unusually heavy
for the prep school class and it's
poundage has not been any handi-
cap to it's speed. The backfeld is
made up of sprinters. Coach Moore
expects the combination of poundage
and speed possessed by the eleven
will make it the New Mexico cham
pion.

HARMONY TICKET
PUT IN FIELD IS
RESULT OF PACT
Central Labor Union and Bust
ness Men Agree to Support
Same Candidates For the
City Commission,

That an agreement had been reach
ed between the Central Labor union
and the Non partisan league for the
purpose of averting the threatened
fight at election. was the announce
ment made Jointly last night by E. It.
Chase. president of the Business Mems
association, and w. NJ. Cote, president
OF the Central Labor union.
The agreement resulted in the with
drawal of the two candidates endorsed
for city commissioners by the Nom
partisan League--Dr. I. G. Rice and
Frederick A. Nohl--one of the candi-
dates supported by the Central union
George Wright-and the nomination
of another candidate. Thomas Hughes,
former city clerk and former warden
of the state penitentiary.
The pact was said to assure the
support of the business men and the
Central union to the candidacy OF Mr.
Hughes and Edwin B. Swope, the
other candidate favored by the labor
body, including an agreement that the
business and labor interests give their
full backing to the two candidates
chosen.
The purpose of the agreement was
declared to be harmony by leaders
on both sides and also neutrals. who
were instrumental in bringing about
the compromise With two candi-
dates in the field supported by the
Nonpartisan League, including at least

part of the Business Mems associa-
ton, and two more backed by the
Central union, a struggle appeared
certain and it was to avert this that
the pact was signed.
The eleventh-h hour entry Of former
Alderman Clyde Tingley in the race
was feared by leaders in the compro-
mise to have complicated the situation
which they hoped their agreement
would clear. His candidacy was not
expected by them at the time the har-
mony pact was signed. He filed his
nomination late yesterday afternoon
after the Withdrawals of the Nonpar-
tisan Leagues two candidates and one
of the Central unions had been filed.
Mr. Tingley's affidavit was signed by
Sam Vann and DR. r. Fred Petit.
There were still two more candi-
dates in the race. G. Hancock and
Hugh Waters.
The compromise was the result of a
conference attended by representa-
tives of the Nonpartisan league, Gem
trail union, republicans democrats and
city commissioners. The agreement
was perfected by the conferees, repre-
sentatives of the Central union maxi
ing their acceptance conditional upon
the voluntary withdrawal of Mr.
Wright. Mr.. Wright declared his will
ingness to withdraw and the agree
ment was ratified by the Central
union.
The following statement in regard
to the agreement was given out:
with the withdrawal of the candi-
dacy of DR.. L. G. Rice, Fred A. Nohl,
and G.. w. Wright-and the filing of
his petition by Thomas Hughes-the
expected contest between the business
interests and the labor unions of AL
buquerque has been brought to a
close.
1.-THE following agreement was en-
tered into by w. NJ. Cote, representing
the Central labor union, and f. T.
Chase, president of the Business Mems
Co-operative associations:
"That whereas, it is deemed that
the contest between the labor and the
business interests at this time is
thought inadvisable. and whereas,
both sides feel that it is to their best
interests that suitable candidates be
nominated for the office of commits
sioners-that each side can get their
full support. ....
Therefore. be it resolved, that the
business Mems association withdraw
their two candidates, namely, L, G.,
Rice and Fred A. Nohl and nominate
instead Thomas Hughes-and that the
labor interests withdraw the candi-
dacy Of G.. w. Wright and endorse
only f.. B. Swope; and that the bust
ness and labor interests agree to give
their full support to the candidacy of
Thomas Hughes and e. b. Swope.

partment report of the trials last April
OF the Rev. Eli M. Mowrey. Presby-
terrain missionary, Tor harboring Ko-
reans engaged in anti-Japanese propa-
ganda, and of the Rev. Eugene Bell
for careless driving of an automobile
which resulted in fatal accident, was
transmitted to the senate today by the
White House.
The Rev. Mowrey, the report said,
had a trial of reasonable fairness"
and it was stated, committed "seri-
GUS oversight" in failing to seek con-
tinuance of his trial. Sentence of four
months Imprisonment was suspended.
From the report of Ambassador
Morris at Toxic, the state department
communication declared, "the evil
dence may be construed as sufficient
to allow the inference that Mr.. Mowry
did unlawfully harbor five young Ko-
reans, who he 'guesses' but did not ac-
tually know, were fleeing from the po-
lice"
American authorities, it was stated,
took every precaution to secure the
missionary's rights.
Regarding the Rev. Mr.. Bell, the
report said, fine of fifty yen was i'm
posed under japanese law penalizing
drivers of vehicles in which death oc-
ours in an accidents No appeal was
taken.
