new MEXICOS SPANlSH-AMERICANS
Line UP FOR DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE

leans have formed the Club Politico
Independence, which claims 10000
members, and committees Of three
republicans and three democrats have
been appointed to appear before the
convention OF each party and make 4
request for equal representation in
offices.
The Cutting controversy revolves
c-oUrd charges that the senator,
who was appointed to succeed the
late Sen. A. A. Jones by Gov. r. c.
Dillon, republican, announced in q
public address during the last cam
paign that he was a democrat. James
G. Mcliary, republican state chair
man, has demanded that Cutting be
forced to state definitely that he is
republican" before the republican
party rencn1i-ates him. Cuttings
newspaper, The New Mexican, says
that Cutting always has been inde-
pendent, supporting the man and not
the party.
While the republican party seems
to have unofficially a pretty good
idea of who its candidates are likely
to be in the coming election, the dem
ccrats appear to have q wealth Of
material for nearly every office to
be filled.
j. S. Vaught, Albuquerque attor-
ney, is campaigning for the demo-
cratic senatorial nomination. Others

Who Is the Bucbe of Marseilles'?
tory in SlenceV eWordW
BY MINOTT SAUNDERS

Paris, Sept. 1T am lost and
do not deserve pity. But whatever
you Do, you cannot make me talk!
Thus does the uncouth, misshape
little "Bluebeard Of Marseilles" defy
police to try to question him regard
ing the murders Of women with
whom he was associated. His real
name is as much . mystery a. the
extent Of his crimes, but "Bluebeard'
will not talk.
Now, in a solitary prison cell in
Marseilles, he is trying to escape the
'guillotine by hunger striking. But
police have no intention Of letting
him cheat justice. They want to
discover the facts OF his shocking
career before he Is sent to the al
most certain fate that awaits him.
When arrested in Algiers, while
attempting to escape, Bluebeard
said his name was Pierre Rey, but
since then the police have discovered
that Pierre Rey died two years ago
in Bordeaux. The prisoner has used
many aliases, none Of which, it is
now almost certain, ID his real name.
So far the bodies Of three women
have been discovered and Bluebeard
will be charged with their murder,
even il others who have disappeared
are not found.
In fragments Of letters that have
been discovered. he never failed to
tell women that he was gentle and
kind and would make a good hus-
band. "My nature is caressing." he
wrote, and all Of the letters found
so far are almost identical.
The Bluebeard Of Marseilles OPP
Grated in much the same manner as
the Bluebeard of Gambais, who
won the confidence Of middle-aged
took their money and fur
niture, then burned their bodies in
his kitchen stove. Landru always
maintained his innocence, but since
he was guillotined, fourteen women
whom he was accused of killing
never have been found.
The police describe as amazing
he fact that such q man could 50
operate. He is squat in stature,
crooked-legged and bent. His voice
is harsh and his manners rough.
Landru, in contrast, possessed
charming manners and was gifted
with a pretty fashion of speech.
His bright, dark eyes and flowing
beard greatly impressed women,
and he had . keen sense Of humor.
The Bluebeard of Marseilles can lay
claim to none Of these attributes.
Nor does he appear to have Lam
dru's courage, who fought vigorous
ly for his life over period Of near
ly three years. He got acquainted
with women through matrimonial
agencies and promised them mar
riage. His practice was to install
them in an impressive villa. After
he had won their confidence and got
their money, they disappeared.

"Unrekistered cars must pay 4

only $3.50 for unregistered cars
plus penalty means revenue of $50
