BOTH PARTIES
WANTCONTROL
Democrats and Republicans
Both Want to Govern New
State of New Mexico
Roswell. N. H., July 7.—At an en
thusiastic meeting ot local Demo
crats here today a movement was
Inaugurated which has ror Its object
the capture of the New State of New
Mexico. The general opinion express*
ed by the leaders was that the best
way to gain political control ot New
Mexico after Statehood was to begin
at the very beginning by carrying
the fight Into the coming Constltu-
- tfonal convention. This Is taken to
mean that the Democrats will prob
ably decide to oppose the movement
for a non-partisan Constitutional
convention.
No Republican can be found In
New Mexico who will admit that the
Democrats have even a remote
chance to gain control of the State.
Nevertheless the Democrats are al
ready preparing to make a hard fight
for it. Their apparently slim pros
pects of success have given them the
advantage of unity, at least. The
sanguine hopes of the Republicans
have led to a wild scramble for office
within the ranks of that party, while
the Democrats, on the other hand,
could probably decide upon their
candidates at once.
On the Republican side there ap
pears to he no end to the aspirants
for the senatorshlps. A few of them
nre considered only In the light of
receptive candidates, but the most
of them have already come out Into
the open and are working to win.
Among those who are prominently
.jil,f«ailoned tn connection with the
two senatorial togas are former Gov
ernor Oeorge 4|irry, former Attorn-
'ey General'"A. B. Pall, W. H. An
drews, who has served the past two
terms as delegate to~cohgress; T. B.
Catron, a former delegate to Con
gress: Sol Lina, the present Repub
lican national committeeman from
New Mexico: Charles A. Snelss. a
prominent business mnn of Las
Vegas; M. A. Otero, former governor
and W. J. Mills, the present governor
of the territory.
If the Democrats should hv some
possibility secure control of the first
Slate -eglriature It Is anticipated
they world have little litdcnlty In
picking two men of their party for the
United States senate. Felix Mar
tinez, a wealthy resident of Las
Vegas, would probably he chosen
for one of the senatorshlps. while
the choice of the other would rest
between A. A. Jones and H. R. Fer
guson.
WANTS TO AMEND THE LAWS.
RUSSIAN-JA-
PAN ALLIANCE
England is Greatly Alarmed
by the News Which Came
From the far East
Lodon, July 7—Diplomats, who are
conversant with the situation In the
Far East, see behind the convention
between Russia and Japan, which is
announced at St. Petersburg a new
alllgnment whitfh threatens the ex*
lstence of the open door.
It Is believed that behind the con
vention there Is a secret treaty by
which the countries that, a few
years ago were at war have pledged
themselves to dominate the East.
The subject is one which causes
great alarm. It Is'Teamed today, to
the British foreign office.
The Impression growB here dally
that Japan will never sign another
treaty with Egland of the same na
ture now existing.
There is also to be a marked ef
fect on the negotiation between Ja
pan and America over the new treaty.
LAST OF DALTON GANG.

as train robbers, is looking forward
to an early release from the Ohio
penitentiary, where he has been con
fined since 1895. In that year he was

tence was commuted to 25 years by
President Taft and consequently
Hall will soon be freed by virtue of
his time allowance for good behav
ior.

hospital during the great pan of

PREACHER IS
GLA9 OVER IT
He Thinks the Results of Jeff-
Fulton Delegation Wants to Restrict
Justices of Peace.
Atlanta. July 7.—The Fulton
county grand Jury and the Fulton
county board of commissioners have
concurred In resolutions requesting
the Fulton delegation In the general
assembly to advocate an amendment
to the justice of the peace law In
Georgia, restricting the jurisdiction
of the Justices. At present there are
ten Justices of the peace in the city
of Atlanta, and each has Jurisdiction
over all the city. That Is, a man
who lives in the extreme northern
part of the city can be sued in the
court of a Justice located In the ex
treme southern end, five-or six miles
away. This Is true in other cities,
too. The proposed amendment will
give each Justice Jurisdiction only In
his limited district. Justice Orr, one
of the oldest representatives of the
Atlanta magistrates, Is himself In
favor of the change.
It ’a an Interesting fact that this
proposal to restrict the justices
comes Just at a time when some of! permit the pictures
them are petitioning for more pow-- shown In Tennessee,
er and'larger fees. '

Bold Thief
Savannah. Ga., July 7.—James At

has established a record tor robbery
in Savannah and the detectives have
established a record for catching a
burglar 6y picking up Ben within
thirty minutes after the robbery and
before he has time to dispose of any

Tho home of Mr. G. M. Butler on
Thirty-ninth street, east, was en
tered yesterdsy while the family was
away. The neighbors saw a negro go
In the house through a window.
They notified Mr. Butler, who no
tified the police. By this time the
negro, who had been pretty busy,
lhad succeeded In ransacking the
house anil securing something like
$200 worth of Jewelry, wearing ap
parel and other things. He put on
a man's coat, and making a bundle
of his other plunder, started out.
The detectives reached the scene
soon after he had gone. They hur
ried In the direction the negro had
taken and on the corner of Bull
street and Park avenue one of the
most prominent corners tn the city,
they came up with Ben and placet}
him nnder arrest, capturing bnrglar,
loot and everything they were look
ing for.
Ben will probably get another
place on the gang from which he
wnB but a few daya ago discharg

Special Committee From Hou*
and Senate Makes Its Report
for Year
\ t
Atlanta July 7.—A report on the
convict system of Georgia was made
yesterday by the special sub-commit
tee to the house and senate, and , . ...
while some minor detail, are crltl-|» o.t
died snd some reforms suggested,
the system aa a whole is pronounceo
a splendid success The roport says
that no woman should be ever left
In county convict camps snd It says
that gJMrda and wardens should not
be pain hr the counties. The wish
of the committee Is now to elevate
the convlcta to a higher moral plane,
if poaalble, aa exemplified In the fov
lowlng eloquent paragraph taken
from the report:
“It ought to be a source of great
satisfaction to every citizen of tho
Btate that tho convicts are no long
er considered an objoct of merchan
dise—beasts of burden—but, on the
contrary, are treated as human be
ings—as men and women who have
souls. They labor In tho open air
eat and aleop; their habits are regu
lar; they aro to a remarkable de
gree healthy, strong and able-bod
ied men and women, and the death
rate Is less than half that of tho
population of the state taken as a
whole.
"In our opinion the convict act
contemplates tho complete separa
tion of the races. For lack of prop
er facilities tho prison commission
haa not at yet-been able to accom
plish this' end; bnt In no case,
far as could learn, did they eat
