o'clock last Tuesday morning; that

toward Vest and began to approach

says his followers then drove back to
the Pinon station and called the Ell

there are two negroes here on the
road looking for a shooting scrap.
When Vest and his companion got to

break. and he decided stop and let
the men show what they were after.
He stood out on the ground and held
out his arms to show he was not
armed. and called to his pursucrs to
como up. They approached and he
said good morning and then asked
what they wanted of him. They came
close and said they were officers, and
the man who Vest says was so drunk
that he staggered. held a gun against
Vests heart and thcy went thru all

Vest to stick 'em up" The Ranger
also had his gun drawn. but stood be-

PRINCE SA|ONj|
TO FORM JAP CABINET

Washington, D. c.. Nov. 10.-tBy The
Associated Press)--Attempts to induce
Prince Saionji to form the new cabinet
are being made at Toxic. according TO
unofficial cablegrams received here
by Japanese
Prince Saionji is II years old and his
health may prevent his acceptance. In
that event, 1t is said the task may fall
on T. Noda, minister of communica-
tions or on Viscount Takahashi, min
lister of finance. All three are promi-
nent in the Seiyu Kai, or government
party. Viscount Takahashi created a
sensation several months ago by pub
licly attacking the general staff OF the
army for interfering too much in diplo-
matte activities. 1t seems likely that
on that account he has incurred the
disfavor Of the military element. A
fourth possibility mention Is Baron
Den governor of Formosa, who Is
known as the special fayoritc of
Prince Yamagata, president of the
privy council and the man whom many
Japanese regard as the real power be-
hind the throne. 1t seems agreed
among japanese that II Saionji accepts
1t will be merely temporarily, more
particularly during the conference
here.

The definite policy OF the bureau is
expected to be outlined by DR.. Cornell,

from a conference of the national dis
trict officers in Washington. The closer
cooperation with the central offices
will probably result from the meet;
Since the change from the Federal

This plan, relating primarily to naval
problems. tariff, appears to be destined
to become the first important topic
of negotiation, altno counter proposals
are expected to be brought in later and
the discussion is believed likely to lead
the conference quickly into a consid-
Grafton of various far-flung questions
of diplomatic policy.
AS the opening hour approaches,
there is manifest feeling Of growing
optimism among many delegates, cou-
pied with a determination not to per-
nit the conference to stray into trou-
blesome fields with which it has nc
concern.
The British delegation Is making Its
plans for a SIX weeks session and most
of the other groups are almost as hope

What appeared to be a second Pueblo

night when water flowed in torrents
from the third floor OF the old city
hall directly on the valuable records.
Investigation proved that there had
not been cloud burst, but that a
faucet had been turned on by some
one and the water left running all
night. The detectives now have to
pull fountain pen by force over
some blank paper and copy many oil
the records. Many seemed wet al
ready, as they contained liquor
clauses.

Irish Farmers Ignorant
of RuctiOnS in Cities

Ireland is known industrially, for
its ship building and for its linen
manufacture, but one of the most
interesting of its lesser industries
is that of pipe making at Dublin.
Motion pictures of the many opera
tions involved in making of briar
pipes were shown members of the
National Geographic Society in con-
nectiOn with the lecture of E. NJ.
Newman at the New Masonic Tenn
pie last evening.
Pictures of the hunger strikers OF
Cork and of the wreckage resulting
from riots in other cities were in
contrast to the prosperous rural
scenes photographed. The Irish
farmer, the lecturer said, knows lit
tie of the disturbances in the cities
and because he gets higher prices
for his produce than ever before
is experiencing an unprecedented
prosperity.

AV0W U.S.. FEALTY
ASKING RETURN OF
SEIZED PROPERTY
Brothers,in 100000 Suit,
Tell of Efforts Made to
Be Patriotic.

Claiming to be full-fledged Amer
lean citizens, Hans and Francis
PfOtenhaur, brothers. residents or
New York City, filed suit yesterday
in the District Supreme Court to
compel Francis P. Garvan, Alien
Property Custodian. and John Burke,
Treasurer of the United States, to
return 100000 worth Of property
seized in July, 1918.
The brothers tell a tale of woe
in their petition and score the Alien
Property Custodian for his alleged
unlawful acts. Both of the petit
TONERS claim to have been born IN
the Hawaiian Islands.
They were at school in Germany,
they claim, when that country de-
clared war on Serbia and Belgium.
Before the United States entered the
conflict, they declare, they were inn
pressed into the military service in
Germany, but because the German
government regarded them as men
without a country, they were not
\ forced to bear arms, but given un-
important tasks to do.
After a series of protests to the
German government that they were
Americans, I is alleged, the brothers
were discharged from the service.
Hans claims to have gone to the
Spanish embassy in Berlin, which
was looking after American inter
ests, and. after taking the oath, was
given a passport to America. Fran
els claims that he went to the Swe-
dish consul at ChrIstiana and did
likewise.
1t was while they were arranging
for passports, it is alleged, thar
their property in New York City
was seized. Neither OF them ever
accepted German citizenship, they
claim.
