DELEGATES WILL
MEET TODAY To
BEAT LARRAzOLO
County Convention at Court
house This Morning Ex-
peCted To Force InStruC-
ti0nS For Tom Hughes.

Dominated overwhelmingly by
forces opposed to denomination of
Governor LarraZolo, and directed
by leaders favorable to The mining
interests, the republican county
convention will meet at 10 o'clock
this morning at the court house to
elect delegates to the state conven-
ion here September 7.
1t is expected that a strenuous
effort will be made to instruct the
delegation for Tom Hughes for
governor this being along the line
adopted by the bosses of the party
at the De Vargas conferences and
in the recent conferences here at
the offices of John W. Wilson and
Charles Chadwick. This policy was
adopted by the bosses of the party
opposed to the LarraZolo platform
of fair taxation for the mining in
terests, to send delegates to the
Estate convention instructed for var
ious candidates so that LarraZOlO
rcould be defeated and the nomina-
ton of an acceptable" candidate
forced.
While the anti-LarraZolo dele
gates are in ponderanCe in the
convention, by a resolution adopted
by the county central committee at
its meeting last week, the various
precincts will be permitted to name
their pro-rata of the County's dele
gates to the state convention, This
will give Governor Larrazolo some
votes in the state convention from
Bernalllo county The opposition
leaders, however, are expected to
attempt to repudiatc this agree
meut and have the state delegation
scltcted by the entire convention,
which would preclude any yoteSfor
the governor.
In going on record for the p-s1i=
cies the convention wishes to pre-
sent TO the state convention for in
corporation into the platform a
fight is expected to develop along
the lines of the platform advocated
by the Morning journal, including
direct primary law revision of the
mining tax laws, a budget system
and nom partisan administration of
the school lands,
Many delegates elected by the
anti-LarrazolO forces are known to
favor this platform, but voted
against the governor for personal
reasons and because of the issue of
Hubbellism raised by the Evening
Herald, organ of the mining inter-
ests.

Of
GRAIN MOVEMENT
BEING PLANNED

Washington, Aug. 25.-Steps to
stimulate the movement of grain
across the Great Lakes from the
west in order to relieve the car sit
uation were taken today by tho
Interstate Commerce. commission
in ordering re-adjustment or grain
freight rates from ports on Lake
Erie to the Atlantic seaboard.
The modification, which was
made on the application of the rail
roads and grain shippers, permits
increases of only 30 per cent In
domestic rates and rs per cent In
export rates instead of the flat 40
per cent increase recently author
lied by the commission. New rates
become effective on one days no.
tice at any time not later than Sep
tember /. They are to apply on
grain shipments from Buffalo, Erie
and Fairport to the seaboard.
As result of the order lake and
rail rates from the west will be
about cents per hundred pounds
less than the all-rail rates. Railroad
experts expect this to result in in
creased grain shipments from ports
on Lakes Superior and Michigan,
thus releasing large numbers OF
cars at those ports for return to
the grain fields and eliminating the
long haul Of empty grain cars from

PRICES Of COAL
DUE To TUMBLE
IS PRE- ED|CT| ION
Department of Justice Off.
CiaIs Predict Fuel Will Be
Cheaper; War On Prof.
iteerS Is Cause Given.

Washington, Aug. 25 (by the AS
sociated Press)-Forecast of a
tumble in coal prices was made by
| department of justice officials to-
| day coincident with the announce
ment of renewed activity" in the
campaign against coal profiteers.
With production on the increase,
prediction was made that the coal
| market would follow sugar prices
| in a break in the near future.
Prices already have dropped at
Baltimore. where the federal agents
yesterday started to gather evi-
dence against an alleged combina-
| tion of dealers who were declared
to have boosted prices through re-
| peated resales. A similar attack
on profiteers has been ordered at
Hampton Roads. one of the largest
bunkering stations on the eastern
seacoast.
Although interior points have re-
ported exorbitant coal prices in
| many instances, 1t was stated that
the ''flagrant violations of the
Lever law were confined largely to
| the Atlantic coast. The department
will press its investigations at all
points, however. as part of the
program outlined Monday when the
attorney general Instructed all Unit
ed States attorneys to deNe into
the coal price situation on the basis
of information that pyramiding OF
| prices had been accomplished
through inter-trade sales.
Departments Hands Tied.
The departments hands are tled
at Philadelphia by a court order
restraining the United states at
torney from prosecuting profiteers
under the Lever law, which was
held to be unconstitutional by the
court there. But the court order
| will not stay the gathering of cvl-
dence, according to II. s. Mitchell
| special assistant attorney general
who Is directing the campaign.
Mr.. Mitchell believed public SEN
| timent had begun to react against
coal profiteers to the extent that
| it would force a lowering of prices.
The break in quotations at Baltl-
more, together with expected re-
ductions at other points, was ex-
pected to mean a real benefit to
| the consumer.
Federal reserve board officials
Albuquerque morning journal., 1920-08-26

also reported indications of an i'm
pending drop in the coal market,
Their information was that trans
portation conditions with respect to
coal had improved and that there
fore, there would be better dis
tribution. This of itself, in the
opinion of department officials,
should aid the price reduction
movement. The reserve board off,
cias said the empty bins made 80
by the btuminous miners strike
and later by the railroad walkout
and freight jam, again were
stocked. They did not believe the
storage of this sort of stock was
up to normal but, based on recent
reports, stocks rapidly were being
accumulated.
Temporary conditions have han
dicapped certain sections of the
country with respect to their regu-
lar supply with the result, accord
ing to Mr.. Mitchell. that higher
prices have been asked. Federal
attorneys at these places. however,
were said to be in close touch with
such situations and were prepared
TO act If there was evidence that
dealers were taking advantage or
the shortage.

gun today by the League of the

Ely, chairman Of the resources
board of Arizona.
At the session today, Mr. Gillett
raised the question of the use by
Mexico of water from the Colorado
river.
Director Arthur Powell Davis,
of the United States reclamation
service, replied that Mexico was
using from 100000 to 500, 900
acre feet Of water without author
ization or paying for 1t. He said
that Mexico had an undoubted
right to use a certain share of
the water of the river. but that
the United States should be prop
erly compensated.
D. f. Carpenter, OF Greeley,
Colo. headed off action on this
subject in the resolutions com
mittee by declaring that 1t was an
international question and that
the league probably would throw
a monkey wrench Into the ma
chinery If it undertook action on
