".AS USUAL"
IN STATE CAPITAL

Santa Fe, Dec. S.--The campaign
for the place occupied by the re-
publican candidate for governor on
lie party ticket already is in full
cry in santa Fe Friends of Dis
trlct Judge Reed HOlloman and
"Bill' Sargent, former state audi
ton, are already at work, although
neither has formally announced his
candidacy. The activity Of their
supporters, however, is taken as
ample indication that their hats
are in the ring"
No active campaign has been
launched for former Lieutenant
Governor B. L. Pankey, although he
is regarded as a receptiTe candi-
date for the gubernatorial nominal
tiou.
Candidates for other places on
he republican ticket also are being
pushed forward and include Mrs.
Adelina Otero-Warren, county
school superintendent of Santa Fe
county, for the nomination for Sec
rotary of state, as Secretary oil
state Manuel Martinez now is serv-
ing his second term. Miss Edith
Wileman, now assistant secretary
Of state, also is suggested for this
place.
That this post will go to one Of
the newly enfranchised voters APP
pears fairly likely as State School
Superintendent Conway, now on his
first term, undoubtedly will be a
candidate for denomination and
this fact heads off feminine ambi-
ton in this direction.

Phoenix, Arlz., Dec. S,-Intro-
duction of six expert witnesses,
five OF whom testified that they
did not believe Roy Gardner was
mentally responsible when he
robbed a United states mail car
ait Maricopa, Ariz., on November ),
completed the direct evidence to
be offered by the defense in the
federal district court here where
Gardner is being tried for the Of
Tense. Gardner has admitted com
hitting the robbery but pleaded
insanity.
Or. Mary L. Neff of Phoenix, q
specialist in mental diseases, testi-
fled that she examined Gardner
in the county Jail here from pro-
fessional curiosity before she knew
he was to be tried here. She said
she was unable to say whether he
was able to distinguish between
right and wrong at all times. She
also said she could not answer n
question regarding his mental con-
dition on November 8,

nix, all said, in answer to a hypo-
thetical question by the defense,

that he was insane on Novem-
Der 8.

MAY
BE: NAMED FOR
GOVERNOR RACE
Present Collector Of Inter-
nal Revenue Being Talked
as G. O. P. Nominee to
Succeed MeChem.

r. C, Hernandez, former repre-
sentative from New Mexico in the
United sta congress, is being
talked OF a., Il possible republican
nominee for governor as the sue"
.cessor to Merritt c, Mechem, tho
nresent incumbent, who has an
nounced his unwillingness to be a
candidate again. Mr., Hernandez is
a resident of Albuquerque and Is
at present starting q four-year
term as collector of internal reVe~
nue. here.
When asked yesterday whether
or not he would be a candidate
Mr.. Hernandez was unwilling TO
make a definite statement of his
intentions. nj

Advices received from Santa Fe
indicate that there is quite a little
Hernandez talk there, although, or
course, the Santa Fe politicians ar
in favor of someone from the An
clent city,--either Judge Reed
Holloman, William G. Sargent or
BENJAMIN j.. Pankey, Governor
Pankeys preference for a congress
sional nomination, however, is
well known.
Antonio A. Sedillo, speaker OF
the 1919 house Of representatives
of the state legislature, has recent
ly returned from Las Cruces, where
politics are always in season. He
reports much Hernandez talk in
the Dona Ana political camps, al
though there is a movement in ia
vor of Jose r. Lucero, a Cruces
citizen.
Mr.. sedillo found the Las Cruces
politicians ready and willing to eX-
plain the virtues Of II. B. Holt,
prominent attorney and senior
member of the firm OF Holt and
as a senatorial nomi-
nee. Mr., Holt was rumored to be
Secretary Falls candidate against
Holm 0. Bursum for the senatorial
last September. His
was weakened by the
of the Fail strength,
but Dona Ana county placed her
favorite in the ring and voted for
him once. aided by other dele
gates from the southern part of
the state. When the Holt votes
were all in, his supporters with
drew his name. The Cruces at
torney then took off his coat and
went into the Bursum campaign

to help him materially with his
senatorial aspirations.

COLONEL BRANDS
WATSON CHARGES
AS BEING FALSE
Bethel Denies Allegations
That Scores of Soldiers
Were Executed Without
Being Given Hearings.
lBr The Associated Press,

washington, Dec. S.-RecofuS OF
the war department on the legal
execution of eleven members of
the A. i. +. were presented today
to q senate investigating commit
tee, by way OF denial of charges
that scores OF soldiers had been
hanged without trial. out, OF con-
sideration for the families of the
dead the names were omitted.
Read by Col. w. f. Bethel, GEN
eral Pershing's judge advocate
general in France. the records
showed that those executed includ-
ed eight negroes. two whites and
an Indian.
Senator Watson, democrat, Geor-
gia, whose presentation of the
charges in the senate led to the in
vestigation, appeared before the
committee today. He declared he
was prepared to prove the charges
and submitted affidavits. newspa-
per clippings and letters.
Charges Arc False.
Colonel Bethel declared with
emphasis that the charges were
false.
Senator Watson is expected to
present tomorrow as witnesses a
list of former service men and
others, including prisoner at Fort
Leavenworth, who have claimed to
have direct knowledge In support
of the charge that there had been

which the eleven were hanged,

nation by Senator Watson. men
toned Gievres. at which. accord
ing to information given the sena-
tor by former soldiers. several men
were executed.
Colonel Bethel denied that Amer
lean soldiers had been hanged after
conviction by French military
court. asserting that under the
articles of war, jurisdiction was
vested solely in the American army.
There was n rather broad inti-
nation that 1t might be necessary
to divulge the names of the soldiers
executed. because of the belief in
the minds of some investigators
that soldiers with stories OF whole
sale hangings" might have been
confused after seeing or hearing of
the hanging of tho=e found guilty
and sentenced by military court.
Findings Approved.
General Pershing, as the supreme
COMMANDER on foreign soil. ap-
proved the court findings In the
cases of the eleven men hanged and
refused to approve the findings in
eleven other cases carrying the
death sentence. Altogether sixty
two men were sentenced to death,
but Colonel Bethel declared only
eleven were executed.
Most of the crimes were against
women and children. One of the
white soldiers hanged was convict
ed of numbering another soldier
and the other was found guilty of
attacking an S-year-old Belgian
girl. A French professor was muir
dered while trying to protect an
old woman, and the father of a girl
was killed by two negroes as he
fought against great odds to save
her.

QUIET DAYS IN BUSINESS

One reason why people don't sue
aeed is that they do not make FRO
1uctive use OF the periods when
business is quiet. In some stagnant
towns. it is q common thing to see
merchants sitting or standing for
long periods in their store doorways
their minds occupied in watching
the little doings of the street.
A wide awake fellow. when quiet
hours come, will be rearranging his
stock. sorting over old lots, plan
ming future campaigns. reading
trade papers.
The past six months has been a
period when many factories have
run slack. But the managers of
successful enterprises have spent lit
tie time in looking out OF the win.
dows. They have been working
harder than usual, trying by closer
attention to detail to increase sales
and get their business on more sys;
tematic foundations. The results
begin to show when the next rush
time comes.

This movement is backed by maza-

ers and magazines. The newspapers

ly so much as that Of delivering big
magazines and weeklies.
The latter publications have to
d large extent national iirchlation
They often send as many to dis
tant state as to their own nearby
territory. Newspaper circulation.
however, is mostly local. It goes
in the country Immediately around
the place of publication.
1t costs more to transport maga-
zine from New York to Texas or
California, than to transport news
paper from city out into some
outlying town 10 or420 miles away.
The cost Of carrying magazines is
thus much greater than that OF
newspapers, since magazines have
to be carried so much farther. A
fiat rate for both classes would be
just as sensible as charging as much
for freight between Chicago and one
of its suburbs, as between Chicago
and New York.
The magazines claim that they
stimulate postal business in the
way of mail orders, which helps out
the postal revenues. But newspap-
ers promote all kinds OF enterprises
which pay taxes. II you begin to
weigh all these indirect considera-
ti0ns. the newspapers can stand

the service they render.

....ipal forces working for community
progress. II you deal q heavy blow

rHE REAR PEws

In theatres you can get twice the
price for seat about six rows from
the front as one In the rear. But
when people 60 to church. the same
ones who eagerly rushed for front
location In the theatre will drop
into q rear pew. Ministers complain
OF the difficulty OF addressing an
audience that tends to concentrate
in the back seats. leaving a sound
ing vacuum in front.
At Goshen. New Jersey. to count
eract the tendency to flock in the
rear seats, the Presbyterian church
has adopted the plan Of roping off
the rear pews. Other churches may
wish to consider this plan.
The philosopher is interested to
speculate why people want f,ont
seats In one. kind of gathering and
back seats in anyotfer. Perhaps
the reason is that the church invites
the people, to join in service to
the community. When any work is
to be done, many people prefer to.
be distant spectators, rather than
appear in the light OF active parti-.
cipants. II they sat in the ont
seat, someone might ask them to
do something.
