survivors and the pitiful rags that

One missionary of the Augustin-

said:
This afternoon I called upon a
once prosperous family and found
them eating. Each had a bowl of
boiled grass and in each bowl were
"a few grains OF rice. The rice in
all the bowls Of the entire family
would not fill a tablespoon. 1t

ALFALFA MOVING OUT
OF THE PEC0S VALLEY

| Especial Correspondence TO The Journal
Artesia, n. NJ, May 31.-The al
falfa growers in this section OF the
Pecos valley are almost through
with the harvesting of their first
crop of alfalfa hay. Hundreds OF
carloads have been shipped by the
Artesia Alfalfa Growers associa-
ton in the past few weeks. Hay
buyers have also shipped many car
loads to the market.
The price received for this crop
ranged from sis to $40 per ton,
which is a fair price for the prod
uct. However, the demand Is not
as great as usual, causing a little
uneasiness among the growers.
This is expected to be only a tenn
porary condition OF the market.
Many power hay balers are oper-
ating within a few miles of Artesia,
giving employment to the many
school boys of the town. These
large presses can bale from eight
cen to twenty-five tons each day,
A shortage of labor is expected in
a few weeks, when the second cut
ting of the alfalfa will demand 80
much attention.
The rain, which fell last week,
damaged a portion of the crop,
which had been moved but had not
been baled.

marriage to him might involve her
in Vaccinations and intrigues."
Disparity i'm Age.
Oser was declared by the answer
to be 27ls years older than his
young fiancee, "a disparity in age
which renders marriage between
them undesira BILE for reasons other
and more serious even than the
diversities of taste and outlook
which must follow such differences
in ages" He also was declared to
be without sufficient funds of his
own to adequately maintain and
support Mathilde. If he married
her.
Attorney Cassel announced the
petition for injunction as an "un-
usual and unheard of proceeding.
He argued that Mrs. Mccormick
admitted her former husband was
fit and proper person to act as
guardian, yet declined to consent
without giving sufficient reasons.
He declared that without proper
evidence OF unfitness there was
nothing for the court to do but
grant the request for appointment
|
OF Mr.. Mccormick.
"The question of marriage and
similar personal relations is not in
the same category with education
or other more legal matters" de-
clared Mr.. Cassel. This court
ought not to interfere with the
guardian except under very grave
circumstances.
Grave circumstances.
"These are grave circumstances
interrupted Attorney Cutting.
"This girl will lose her American
citizenship. This girl is also the
heir to millions and that is be-
lieved to influence Oser,"
Mr.. Cassel INTERCEPTED a remark
that it was "the first time he knew
OF that poverty was made an OBJ
lection in a case like this"
Here in America he ADDED
I'VE believe it is a commendabie
thing for a wealthy woman TO
marry poor man. Citizenship and
poverty surely are no objections.
"Only the gravest circumstances
should be a reason for granting
this motion"
Agrees Unalterably.
Judge Horner stated that ne
agreed unalterably" to that state
ment and added that unless such
grave circumstances did arise, he
would take no action. ..
He then stated that the petition
should not have been presented IN
the reply of Mrs. Mccormick 10
Mathilde's original application. but
should be made in separate mo-
ton, which he set to be heard

Mrs. Mccormick Begins a
Battle to Prevent the Mar
rage Of Her Daughter to
Riding Master.

Chicago, May 81 (by the Associ-
ated Press. "A determined battle
TO prevent the marriage OF Mathilde
Mccormick, prospective heir to
millions, to Max Oser, Swiss riding
master, was begun in court today
by Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCor-
mick, the 17-year-old girls mother
and divorced wife of Harold Il. Me-
Cormick, millionaire head of the
international Harvester company.
Asking a restraining order from
probate court to prevent the marri-
age, Mrs. Mccormick declared that
because of her tender age" Miss
s Mathilde might become the sub
Ject of Vaccinations and intrigues
of designing persons She added
J that Oser being a poor man, de-
sired the marriage primarily" be-
cause he believed Sin so doing he
will secure large sums OF money
and financial. gain"
The motion was made in Mrs.
Mccormick answer to the appll-
cation of her daughter for appoint
ment of Mr.. Mccormick as her legal
guardian. Under the Swiss law,
consent OF the guardian or both
parents of a minor is necessary for
marriage.
Declines To Grant Order.
Judge Henry i. Horner, however,
declined to grant even a temporary
restraining order but continued
the hearing of the motion until
June 8, meanwhile ordering that
letters of guardianship be drawn
I'D for Harold r. Mccormick under
bonds of 100000. Mr.. McCormick's
counsel, Edwin H.tCassell, agreed,
however, that the guardians con-
sent to his wards marriage would
not be given before the hearing.
Charles S. Cutting, attorney for
Mrs. Mccormick, indicated that he
would use every legal means TO
block consent of the international
marriage by which the grand
daughter of John D. Rockefeller
would become the bride of the for
mer cavalry officer, who was her
riding master for many years dur
ing her residence in Switzerland.
Neither Mrs. Mccormick, MISS
Mathilde nor her father were IN
court. Judge Horner read Mrs
Mccormick answer carefully.
III Points In Petition.
q 1t set up briefly these points:
That Mathilde is a minor child,
having reached her seventeenth
birthday only last month.
That Mrs. Mccormick believes
that the sole object" OF seeking
appointment of guardian" is to
permit him to give his consent.
pursuant to the requirements OF
Swiss law, to the marriage of Ma
fhilde Mccormick and lone Max
Oser, a citizen OF the confederation
OF Switzerland, and not an Ameri-
can citizen"
That Mrs. Mccormick does not
approve of the contemplated mar
riage.
Objections to Oser were listed as
his age, his Swiss citizenship. that
lie is without a regular and cer-
tain income" and that Mathilde's

From the shadow of the gallows to

today by J. i. Gallagher.
He was charged with the muir

found dead in an automobile near
Carbon. Alberta, last September.
Gallagher was found guilty and
sentenced to death.
Three days before he was to be
hanged a reprieve was granted. An
appellate court ordered a new trial
on the ground that the judge had
misdirected the jury. Yesterday a
second jury acquitted him.
