CAPITAL CITY NOTES
Department Meeting Tuesday

The Community Welfare department
of the Santa Fe Woman's club held
its regular meeting at Library hall
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Mrs.
Won ~Nyvenheim, presiding. Splendid
reports of the activities of the dep
artment during the summer were pre-
scented by the secretary Mrs. Frank
Staplin. 500 was turned over by this
department to the clubs building
fund, the balance amounting to $56.38
was deposited in a fund to be used by
the department to raise more money
for the house, which the club ladies

nue., This sum of Sl56.B was cleared
from the chicken dinner given at the
Scottish Rite Cathedral for the
Knights of Pythias grand lodge dur
ing its annual convention which was
recently held in this city. On Thurs
day last a free canteen lunch was
prepared and served at City Hall to
about rs ex-service men who were
in the city to present their claims
to the cleanup" squad for compen-
for disabilities. That the lunch
appreciated was evident by the
of enjoyment from the
men, and the remark from one of the
men from the cleanup" squad that
Santa Fe was the first city where
hey had received 100 per cent CO.

AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS
APPROACHING CROSSING
MUST EXERCISE CAUTION

Drivers of automobiles, in approach
ing railroad grade crossings in New
Mexico, must look carefully and lis
ten closely all the way up to the
track, If there is to be any recovery
for damages or injuries that might
result from an accident on the cross
ing, This is the rule that has been
laid down by the state supreme court.
1t is of the highest importance, IN
view of the increasing number of fat
al accidents at grade crossings.
The decision is in the case of Jesse
Morehead, who filed suit against the
Santa Fe railroad company, in the
district court in Chaves county, to col
lect for injuries sustained and dam
ages occurring to property, in a col
liSion between an automobile and a
Santa Fe train, in the city of Ros-
well, Upon hearing in the district
court, Morehead was awarded a judg-
ment for $4,000.
This judgment is eve sed, and the
cause remanded, with instructions to
judgment for the railroad COM
pany. The opinion is by Justice Ray
nolds, Chief Justice Roberts and JUS
tice Parker concurring. 1t holds:
Where one approaching a railroad
in an automobile, according
to his W testimony, stopped, look
ed and listened, at a distance Of fif-
ty-seven feet from the track, and did
thereafter again stop, look and
but drove up to the track, he
is guilty of contributory negligence
and cannot cover for injury to him
self or to his car occasioned by the
collision between the train and his
,ar upon the crossing"

THERE; BIG DAY AT A. c

The New Mexico Aggies humbied
the New Mexico Military Institute
Friday afternoon at Miller field by
a score of y to o.. while 1000 from

throughout.
Captain Fairly, fullback for the Ag-
gies and Mason, their quarterback,

Brown brought 700 national guards
men up from Fort Bliss to add to the
celebration.
The crowds gathered at 10 o'clock
in the morning, and were conducted
through the buildings and campus of
the college. They inspected all of the
laboratories, and saw the work that
was being done by students. A num-
Der of speeches were made at a pep"
meeting in Hadley hall by members
of the faculty of the college, and
several distinguished visitors.
The football game started at 3
o'clock in the afternoon. The day
was closed with a large dance in the

Mr.. Elliott Prince Among Hosts.

On Tuesday evening the doors of
the Presbyterian Manse were thrown

the men when each saw his old
sweet hearts face appear in the
heart shaped space above the screen.
Strange to say, the surprise was SO
great that many did not recognize
the sweetheart Of his youth, as some
wore knee dresses and long curls
tied up with ribbons, others wore
their wedding dresses and many
wore the styles Of rs years ago, with
head gear and millinery that beg

LAND COMMISSIONER
WINS IMPORTANT SUIT
TO RESERVE MINERALS

An important suit, affecting hun
dreds of thousands of acres of land
in New Mexico, has just been decid-
ed by the supreme court in favor OF
the commissioner of public lands. The
decision Is to the effect that there
is no authority of law to compel the
commissioner to execute and deliver
a deed to land without the mineral
reservation, when the land previously
had been sold. on the deferred pay
ment plan, under a contract which
reserved the mineral rights to the
state.
This decision reversed the judgment
of the district court in Santa Fe
county. The East is the State OF New
Mexico Elk Rel A. J. Evans, appel
lee, versus Nelson A. Field, commits
sioner of public lands. and J. s. Read,
appellants. II was one OF the test
suits instituted t o determine the pow
er OF the land commissioner to make
contracts carrying the clause reserv-
ing the mineral rights to the state.
The action was a proceeding in man
damus to compel the commissioner to
tNCNult anu uCllNtl 10 Evans d utcu
or patent to land that Evans had
previously bought, on the deferred pay
ment plan, under a contract that re-
served the mineral rights to the state.
Upon hearing in the district court,
the commissioners demurrer was ov-
erruled and a peremptory writ of man
damus awarded, commanding the
commissioner to execute and deliver
to Evans a deed that did not reserve
the mineral rights. Commissioner
then appealed to the supreme
The decree reverses the judgment
u the district court and remands the
'ause, with instructions to dismiss the
OF mandamus. Justice Parker
wrote the opinion, which was concur
red in by Chief Justice Roberts and
Justice Reynolds. 1t holds:
"Mandamus will not lie against the
commissioner OF public lands to COM
,el him to issue a deed conveying
he public lands free from the r|eserv-
Ition of the mineral rights therein,
which reservation was contained in
he contract of sale, because it is. in
fleet, an action against the state"

AND SHORT" HAUL
RATE HEARINGS IMPORTANT
TO ALL OF MOUNTAIN STATES

The intermediate Rate Association
made up of many of the leading citi-
Gems and shippers all over the Rocky
Mountain region of which Mr.. ]. A.
Ford of Spokane. Washington is Sec
rotary is calling attention to the vital
issues at stake at the coming hear
ings of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission on the subject of long" and
short haul rates as applied to this
section of the country. He says
beginning November II the Inter
state Commerce Commission will
start a series of hearings on what is
known as Countiss' Fourth Section
Application Number 10 which will
probably prove to be the most i'm
portant case that has ever been be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, viewing it from the stand
point Of the intermountain country
The Transcontinental carriers in
this application have asked permits
sion to make wholesale violations of
the "long" and short" haul clause
of the Interstate Commerce Act. In
other words, they want to return to
the old discriminatory practices that
were in vogue before the war where
i'll the intermountain territory was
then compelled to pay higher freight
rates on commodities from the east
than were the Pacific Coast Termin-
ais. The determinations threatened
in this application are so exaggerat-
ed and unreasonable that if put into
effect they would throttle industry,
commerce and the development of
the intermountain territory.
The Intermediate Rate Associa-
organized throughout the Inter
mountain territory and with a mem
bership of $50 organizations, propos-
es to contest this application every
foot of the road through the Inter
state Commerce Commission. through
the Supreme Court OF the United
and again into the halls of
Congress if necessary. Nothing has
ever come before any counsel or trib-
lnal in this country that means 20
much to the development of the in

Mrs. N. B. Laughlin Offered a
splendid suggestion at the business
meeting OF the Santa Fe Woman's
club held Tuesday afternoon at Lib
rary hall. The suggestion was that
an effort should be made to place
the Museum library. the valuable
Funk library now packed up in the
basement OF the Museum building,
the library in the Historical building
and the one at the Woman's Board
OF Trade all in one place. On ac-
count OF these Libraries being in dill
ferent places many citizens do not
know that Santa Fe has one OF the
largest and most valuable collections
Of books in the country. Eminent
men who visited the Capital City this
past summer found priceless volumes
in the libraries, but regretted the in
convenience and loss of time spent
in having to go from place to place
in search OF the information wanted.
