War, lack of material the ac-
QUESTION of railroads by the gov
ernment, and the high price of ma
terial after the war. had all, Mr..
Harvey said, made the work of OBJ
tanning finances difficult one. He
added that he had at last succeeded
in obtaining an appropriation but
before eXpending it had embraced
the opportunity to confer with
leading citizens here in order that
the Harvey policies might be well
understood and that their plans for
enlargement could not possibly in
terfere with the development of the
hotel project.
Would Abandon Enlargement Plans
IF you gentlemen feel that the
building of additional guest quart
ers in the Alvarado is in any wise
prejudicial to your plans we will
abandon the same, but if you feel
that the enlargement of the E1ar-
vey facilities in Albuquerque will
be of benefit irrespective of the
new project we will go ahead with
them"
The committee assured Mr.. Har-
vey that in their belief both i'm
proVements should take place,
which brought forth expressions of
pleasure on the behalf of both
parties. j. f. Smithers, manager
of the local hotel expressed con-
fidence in the success of the new
venture, regardless of any expan-
sion of Alvarado facilities.
$1,000 Additional Stock.
Mr.. Harvey said that as an evi
dence of his belief in the success
of the project he would take $1,000
worth of common stock, in addition
to the $1,000 subscribed yesterday
by the Springer Transfer company.
THE first duty OF the Harvey

system" said Mr.. Harvey, 'is to
serve the travelling public of the
railroad on which the hotels are
located. In order to give the full
measure Of service the hotels must
serve the cities in a full spirit of
operation. We must have a spir-
it of cordial relations between our
selves and the public if we are to
succeed. For this reason before
we carried out our plans we
deemed it best to know that this
spirit will prevail between the
business community and the Har-
vey establishment"
Must Cooperate.
Our main purpose would be
defeated if we We're to interfere
in your plans and the harmonious
spirit were destroyed. Therefore
we welcome the opportunity to ask
your expression on the subject and
viii cheerfuily abide by your con
clusions"
All members Of the committee
expressed themselves at the close
of the meeting as feeling that in
obtaining such an expression of
cooperation from the Harvey peo-
pie the most encouraging step in
the hotel campaign had been real
ized Those present at the meeting

envelope. 1t is the theory of local
police that Beatty was making his
way to Mexico.
A wife and stepson of-the pris-
Oner are here. Mrs. Beatty is criti-
cally i'll in a local hotel, attended
by a nurse, and it was stated last
night that her condition is very
low.
Arrest Kept Secret.
Following the arrest of Beatty

subsequent learning of his identity.
police made no announcement of
the arrest, it being requested by
Ohio authorities that the matter
be given no publicity until his ex-
tradition had been arranged. 1t
was feared that publicity would
cause his friends to take action tC
light eXtradition.
The men in Ohio connected
with Beatty in his game do not
want him back there" Richie
said.
This is indicated by the sums of
money he has received, and phrases
in letters, mostly unopened, seized

An accomplice of Beatty. known
to police as Slim" is in Jail in
Canton for implication in the theft
of a car, attributed to the man held
here. Richie says that the Canton
and Akron authorities have been
investigating the alleged automo-
bile ring" several months and
that wholesale arrests are likely
to be made soon.
This is the second important ar
rest made by local police for au-
thorities in Ohio in connection with
automobile thefts. The Wright
Brothers, arrested last November
were found to have stolen two au-
tomobiles in Ohio towns. one from
Alliance, a town that is included
in the alleged operations of Beatty.

ing that it was usually ill-prepared.

How She Recalls 1t.
II am not positive but it Is my
best recollection that Mr.. Spitz said
that he had obtained an opinion
on the matter from the attorney
general" Mrs. Wilson said.
II certainly would not have ap-
proved the matter If l had not
been assured it was legal" she
added. The board relied upon
Mr.. SPITE assurance that he had
Investigated the legal aspects Of
the expenditure which he proposed

Mrs. Wilson continued.
The fact that the city board Of
education had taken group instlr-
ance for its teachers was cited by
Mr.. Spitz In his appearance before
the county board of education as
precedent and part of Mr.. Spitz'
argument in the matter of legality,
Mrs. Wilson stated.
City Didn't Investigate.
Judge M. E. Hickey, a member

night that the question of whether

Washington. August 12.--Nomina- ton of Major General Leonard Wood as governor general of the Philip pines awaited today action by the University Of Pennsylvania to release him from his promise to become pro cost of the institution, but his sery- ice in the islands may not last more than year.
 Secretary Weeks said today that General Wood had yielded reluctantly to urglngs that he accept the gover- norship. preferring to follow his original purpose of seeking private employment. It might well be, MT. Weeks added. that should the uni versity authorities consent to the change in plans. General Wood would remain only year in the islands then come home to take up his deferred work at the university.
 Secretary Weeks said the governor Of Pennsylvania had taken up the matter with the university author 'ities and thatan early favorable re- ply was expected The officer would remain, on the active. list of the army on detached service, Mr. Weeks said. and receive the pay of governor gem era1
