UNION LEADER ACTS
TO AVERT STRIKE OF
GARMENT WORKERS

New York, Nov. 11.--A PROPOSE
ton to avert the threatened strike
of $4,000 garr tent workers here
next Monday, was offered by Ban
jamin Schlessinger, president Of
tho International Ladies' Garment
Workers union, in letter made
public tonight to the twelve United
States senators, who had made eff
forts today to prevent the strike.
After reviewing the past relations
between the employers and the
workers which led to the creation
of bipartisan commission last
June, which was to consider means

fifteenth day of next January, the
union will call Of the strike imme-

But IL the manufacturers will

BYRON /. IVES
FOUND DEAD At
HIS HOME FRIDAY
Died in Bed Early in the
Morning From a Stroke;
Had Been a Resident
Here for Many Years.

Byron Henry Ives, 62 years old
was found dead in bed at his home
at 929 South Fourth street. He
had been in bad health for the past
year and a half and is thought to
have died of a stroke of apoplexy.
His body was discovered early
Yesterday morning by his house
keeper, who, becoming alarmed at
his failure to respond to her calls,
entered his room. She found the
body still warm. No funeral ar
have been made locally.
1t is expected that his body will be
shipped to his old home in New
York for burial.
Mr.. Ives has been a resident of
Albuquerque for the past twenty
five years. He came out here from
New York as carpenter In the
Santa Fe shops. During a big rail-
road strike which followed a few
years later he went into the COM
mercial growing of flowers which
his wife had started on small scale
in window boxes. From that be-
ginning he built up his present bus
mess until he had one of the larg-
est florists shops in the state. He
was a member of the Kiwanis club,
and the third member of that Or
ganization to die within the past
three weeks.
He leaves no heirs and has no
relatives closer than second cousins
back in New York state. His first
wife died about twelve years ago
and her cousin, whom he married
several years later, died about two
years ago. The two women are
buried side by side in the family
plot where his body will be placed.
He leaves an estate of about $780,
900.

10-YEAR-0LD BOYS
ADMIT SMATCHlNG
NUMBER OF PURSES

With the arrest of three boys
each about 10 years old, police
have broken up a gang of young
sters which have obtained possibly
two hundred dollars in the past few
weeks by snatching purses from
women. Last night, shortly after
their arrest, the boys admitted
snatching three purses. Police be-
lieve from descriptions that they
are responsible for several other
similar actions.
The boys had about $40 with
them when arrested. This is
thought to be part of the $50
contained in the purse which was
snatched from Mrs. r. M. Genln'
329 North Twelfth street, a few
nights ago. Two of the boys admit
ted snatching the purse of Mrs.
j. mckinley, 412 East Silver ave-
nue.. 1t contained $40.
Their plan of operation was to
stop women along the street and
walk along with them while they
talked about where they had been
and where they lived. Then, when
they got a good chance, they would
snatch the woman's purse and run
for safety.

BLISS OFFICE RS
To TANCLE WITH
VARSITY TODAY
Bring Fl Men on Two Days
Trip Overland; Two Reg
uIars to be Missing From
Lineup in Today's Game

After a two days trip from Fort
Bliss in army trucks, twenty-seV-
en- men of the Bliss officers foot
ball team arrived in Albuquerque
shortly after 6 o'clock last night.
All of the men will be in first class
shape for their game with the var
sity at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon.
The officers will go into the
game this afternoon with two of
their regulars missing, according
to Lieutenant Blaik, who accom-
panies the team as coach. Bush, a
regular halfback, was unable to
secure a release from special duty,
and could not accompany the team,
and Crumm, who holds down right
end, will be kept out of the game
by sore ankle.
The officers will line up this at
ternoon as follows: Ends, Bumpke
and Snyder; tackles, Rayburn and
Gorsuch; guards, McKeon AMI
Pille;. center, Knight; quarterback,
Courtney; halfbacks, Jones and
Kudla; fullback, Kaliman.
Lieutenant Blaik, who was a
member of Walter Camps ALL
American eleven in 1918, will not
be in the lineup when the game
opens, although it is possible he
may later enter the fray. He has
not played with the officers team
in any game this year, acting solely
as coach.
The Fort Bliss line will average
about ITS pounds, practically
equalling the varsity average. The
varsity will also enter the game
with virtually its regular lineup,
though Calkins will be absent,
nursing his sore chest. The team
will probably enter the game with
the following lineup: Ends.
White and Bernhard; tackles,
Greenleaf and Popejoy; guards,
Hernandez and Ferguson; center
Pearce; quarter, Jones, halfbacks,
Whitley and Pope1oy; fullback,
Hernandez.
The game, which is the second
the varsity has played this season,
and the third which the officers
have played, will begin promptly
at 2:30 o'clock at the University
field

Investigation of the cause of the
death of Eugene Kempenich, state
highway commissioner, who was
found dead in his bed at his home
in Peralta with bullet wound in
his chest, has been carried on by
officials since that tins, but very
little light has been thrown on the

Of the case.
Speaking of the case last night.
Sheriff Tondre stated that, although
he had felt for some time that foul
play had entered into 70 tragedy,
he had practically decit ed that the
case was one of suicide.
Considerable difference of opin-
ion was expressed by officials at
the time of the discovery of the
tragedy as to whether the wound
had been self inflicted. Many pos
sible clews haSe been traced down
with the result that after close in
vestigation, Sheriff Tondre has
practically adopted the suicide
theory.

first SAVINGS BANK CHARGED
With FRAUD I'm PURCHASE OF
NEW BANK Site FROM WIDOW
Action Commenced in Federal Court to Cam
eel Deed Granted Year Ago Upon Repre-
sensations Made to S3-Year-Old Lady By
Officers of Trust Company.
lspEClAL nIspATCH mo- MORNING. IorRNAIA


Santa Fe, Nov. 11.-Suit has
been commenced in federal court
here by olivia G. Greenleaf, acting
through her attorney, Summers
Burkhart, against the First Savings
bank and Trust company of Albu-
querque seeking to set aside the
sale of a business block in the city
of albuquerque which the bank
bought as new location for its
business.
The complaint, which it should
be remembered is merely the
plaintiffs statement of contentious
and is not the proof in the case,
claims that through fraud the bank
induced Mrs. Greenleaf, who is a
widow SO years old, to sell build
ing and ground worth $4,000 for
$42, 500.
Mrs. Greenleaf is the widow of
r. II. Greeuleaf, who was well
known in Albuquerque. She went
to California five years ago. After
going there, she conveyed the build
ing recently occupied by the Eu-
bank Brothers Clothing company
and now being remodelod into a
new home for the First Savings
bank and Trust company, to the
the First Savings bank and Trust
company on May 3, 1918, to be held
by the bank in trust during the
life of the widow and upon her
death to go to her heirs the bank
being authorized to collect rents,
pay taxes and the like.
About the middle of October,
1920, Charles S. White, an officer
of the trust company, whom the
plaintiff alleges she had known
from boyhood and in whose integ-
rity and ability she had perfect
confidence, came to her home at
Glendale, Calf, and is reported to
have represented that the Greenleaf
building here was worth not to ex-
coed $42,500, that rents were not
advancing and that taxes were, that
the First Savings bank and Trust
company, then trustee on the build
ing, would buy the building for

State Highway Department
viii Build Temporary
Bridge to Be Used While
Repairing Main Structure

| Barelas bridge will not be closed
to traffic during the completion of
the repair work.
State Highway Engineer L. A.

yesterday afternoon at the cham
Der OF commerce, assured the citi-
zens from the other side of the
river that they would not be cut off
from direct communication with
Albuquerque due to bridge repair
work A temporary bridge will be
constructed within a few days by
the state highway department
across the part of the river bed
now filled with water.
The repair work will not start
until this temporary structure is in
place. 1t will bridge the impassa-
BILE part of the stream and q road
across the sand will be used to
reach this side of the river bed.
Indignation meetings have been
held every afternoon for the past
three days by the citizens living
across the river. The matter came
to climax when a few days ago a
notice was posted on the bridge
stating that the repair work would
be started and the bridge closed.
1t was later learned that it would
take at least three months to com
plete the work and that unless other
arrangements were made, the pass
age across the river would be
closed for that period of time.
