: 'GRAND CONCERT BY
ASSOCIATED CiU&Ztt&
PROCEEDS DERIVED THEREFROM
TO AID IN A MOST WORTHY
CAUSE. -
Arrangements bad been made to
have the concert promised by Mr. R.
W. Hadden to aid the Associated
Charities, some time late in Janu
ary. Ad opportunity, however. Is now
open to secure the assistance of Miss
Ida Ashurst Bremen, one of New
York's favorite pianists, who is at
present the guest of Mrs. Borradaile.
There is also the possibility that a
friend of Miss Bremen's, who Is now
visiting in Arizona, and is a vocaliBt
of International reputation, Rebecca
of International reputation, Mrs. E.
Fleming L'Engle, may be persuaded
to assist.
The commltte has therefore decid
ed to have the concert at an earlier
date, probably on the evening cf De
cember 28.
Miss Bremen Is a favorite pupil of
the eminent MacDowell, and is well
known and much appreciated in New
York musical circles. Her recitals t
the Waldorf-Astoria are features with
New York's four hundred.
The services of Mr. Blondin. our
local 'cellist, have afro . been secured.
It may be news to many that Mr.
Blondin lias a Parisian musical repu
tation, having studied in the Paris
conservatcry. and played In the prin
cipal salons of the gay city. Music,
however, Is hi hobby, as It Is with
Mr. Hadden.
Mr. Hadden and Miss Bremen will
play the F major Sonata, by Grelg,
for violin and piano, and with Mr.
Blondin they will play several trios
of the best class. Mr. Blondin will
also play a solo.
Miss Bremen's numbers will be the
features of the concert, and we feel
warranted In saying that the event
will be the best musical affair that
has ever been given in our city.
The event will be b society one,
and several box parties liave been ar
ranged. Full particulars will be announced
In a day or two.

' "The industrial side of New Mexico should be looked to, above

Herbert J. Hagerman, wTjo will be
inaugurated governor ui nc
on January 22 or 23, 1906, was a vis
itor in Albuquerque throughout the
day, having arrived In the city last
evening en route to Sania Fe, where
he goes for the purpose of securing a
residence preparatory to moving there
alout the first of the year.
When seen by a representative of
The Evening Citizen, New Mexico's
next governor talked very freely of
his plans for the future, the policy he
Intended to pursue, and some of the
ideas he had for the future betterment
and welfare of the territory.
"I believe in newspapers," said Mr.
Hagerman, "for I beneve that for
some evils the only remedy is pub
licity, and lots of it. I am against li
censed gambling in this territory, and
In this I believe that I shall have the
hearty co-operation of not only the
clergy, but the business man, the
wage earner, and the people as a
whole, as well. It is harmful to the
best Interests of the territory, bot'n at
home aad abroad, to have the reputa
tion of allowing evils to exist merely
as a nouree of revenue."
Mr Hagerman, who Is Just in the
prime of life, being about 34 years
of age, Is very enthusiastic, and con
fronts the responsibilities that will
soon be thrust upon his young shoul
ders as the chief executive of the
fiiflJL).eIrltory of New .Mexico, with
much optimism.

DEAD MAN AT MORGUE
IS IDENTIFIED
UNDERTAKER STRONG RECEIVES
PHOTOGRAPHS FROM MAYOR
OF YPSILANTI, MICHIGAN.
The dead man at the morgue of O.
W. Strong's Sons has been identified,
at last, as Thomas M. Tliomoson. a
well to do and respected citizen of i
Ypsilanti, Michigan. i
Iast evening's mail brought to Al- I
buquerque a letter from George M. '
Goiiey, nuycr of Ypsilanti. In it were
enclosed photographs of T. M. Thomp
son which forever more established
the Identity of the dead man, for the
photographs were unmistakably those
of deceased. The letter requested the
undertakers to make sure of the dead
man's Identity and then wire blni
what the expenses would be of em
balming and shipping the remains
back to Michigan. This whs done Im
mediately by Mr. Strong.
Thompson was the man who started
to tramp home from California where
he failed In business and died on the
way to this city from exposure to the
wintry cold. The man's people in
Michigan were scarcely able to be
lieve that he had turned tramp as he
needed but to appeal to them for
financial aid to receive it.
ANOTHER GRAFT SOURCE
TO BE CUT FROM NAVY.
Washington, I). C Dec. 19. The!
Navy Department has arranged to
pm-chane, after competitive bidding in
New York, cold storage provisions, to
be delivered to the naval vessels in
southern waters. Hitherto these sup-,
plies have been bought from one con-,
tra-ctor, who liad a monopoly on the
delivery of refrigerated supplies In
the West Indies. Better prices and
competition can be obtained by pur
chasing the meats in New York and
sending them south as refrigerated
food on commercial steamers, an ar
rangement of this sort having been
made by the naval nay officers. The
supplies will be delivered to the ves
sels during their winter maneuvers

ALAMEDA ACEQUIA ELECTION CASE
With spirit 'broken by months of
confinement, and overwhelmed by an
avalanche of convincing evidence,
Emtllo McClure 1 this morntrtg con
fessed to the a Posta crossing
double murder, by pleading gnllty.
Judge Abbott took a recess In the
Eslavlo Vigil case long enough to ac
cept the plea, and remanded the pris
oner back to Jail to be sentenced on
Saturday.
The LaPosta crossing double mur
der Is one of the most brutal In the
history of New Mexico since the dep
redations of the Apaches years ago.
Carinel Haca and Nicholas Eanches,
two well to do and respected ranch
men of McKlnley county, were on
their way to Albuquerque with sev
eral wagons loaded with wool, the
crop of their spring clip. They had
camped for the night at Ia Posta
crossing on the Rio Puerco, and had
gone to sleep In their blankets near
the camp fire, when McClure crept up
on them and cut their heads open
with an axe. After disposing of the
bodies In a well nearby, the murderer
then set lire to the wagons. Two days
later McClure was arrested at the
home of his parents at Rancho de
Atrlsco, by ex-Sheriff Hubbell.
When it was learned that Mcciure
bad pleaded guilty and would proba
bly escape with a life Imprisonment
as a penalty for one of the worst
crimes ever committed In New Mex
ico, a large delegation of native peo
ple, many of them relatives of the
deceased ranchmen, appeared before
Judge Abbott and offered a protest.
However, after the court had explain
ed the difficulty of convicting of mur
der In the first degree, whdn there
was not an eye witness to the trag
edy, the protesting delegation left the
court bouse,- satisfied.' '''
This removes from the Bernalillo
county criminal docket the most Im

Frightful Stories Pouring in From Province of Courtland
of Barbarities Committed on German' Landlords
Who Are Deeply Detested.
St. Petersburg. Dec. 19. Despite the
statement that two army corps are be
ing sent to tho Baltic provinces, It is
learned that no such number of troops
Is available. The government bus
sent two regiments from St. Peters
burg in reply to frantic appeals for
reintorcemeuts, but It is considered
too dangerous to deplete the garrison
of the capital any further during the
present crisis. The government can
only await the arrival of Cossacks and
other troops which are being hurried
forward by General Linevitch from
Manchuria.
In the meantime the government's
fear is that the rebellion, which is
extending southward to the Potbh
frontier, may arouse the Poles to an
armed uprising. ,
Reliable talcs regarding the estab
lishment of th so-called Republic of
Kharkoff have at last arrived. , The
workmen's socialistic organization,
Joined by 300 troops, took possession
of the city and with the aid of the
militia, established a government, or
federated council, as the executive
committee was called. This council
issued decrees which the authorities
were perfectly powerless to resist. It
declared war on tho thieves, who had
previously terrorized the city. When
a robber was caught, he was placed
undor a trip hammer with the threat
that it would be dropped unless he

ELKINS' GOLD BRICK

His Rate Bill He Says Meets Approval of Presi
dentTen Thousand for Report
For Thirteen Senators.
Washington, D. C Dec. 19. Repre
sentatives of the shipping Interests
have opened headquarters in Wash
ington and are preparing fur a rate
campaign lasting for months, a. r.
Bacon, who 1b at the Arlington, says
he is prepared to stay as long as the
railroads make it necessary. Frank
Harry is with him aud there are halt
a dozen members of shippers' asso
ciations who are In and out of town,
aiding in the campaign.
A close watch Is being kept ou Sen
ator Klkins' committee on interstate
commission, which is holding dally
sessions. Klkins promises to recom
mend a bill which will meet all kinds
of approval at the hands of the presi
dent. Frankly, the shippers have no
faith in this promise. They have had
a look at thu rough draft of the Kl
kins bill and say it Is a "gold brick."
The Joker in It.
"The E!I;!::s b!I' v'M have a very
plausible look." ouc of the shippers'
lobbyists explained. "It will provide for
a lot of things that are all right aud
which everybody wants. Rut In one
vital point of rate regulation It will
have the little Joker In it. This lit
tle Joker is a clause of a paragraph
which gives the courts a right to re
view the reasonableness of any rate
named by the commission.
"Offhand, that sounds quite Inno
cent. Hut in its legal effect and with
the peculiar wording of the bill, the
rtsult will be to strip the commission
of all real power. We are willing to
have the courts review aud set aside
any rate which Is confiscatory, any
rate which is to take property with
out due process of law. Hut so long
as It does uot do that, we want the
commission to have a free hand to

REOPENING OF THE
HUNGARIAN PARLIAMENT.
Budapest, Dec. 19. Great excite
ment prevailed here today on account
of the reopening of the Hungarian
parliament, which was prorogued on
October 10th, to prevent a hostile de
monstration on the part of the coali
tion, which would have endangered
the peace of the utate and probably
caused serious outbreaks, in the
meantime, the government ha
strengthened Its hauds in many ways.
In the first place, extensive prepara
tions have boen taken to suppress, at
a moment's notice, any popular out
break. In the second place the gov
ernment has compromised with the
coalltiou in regard to the universal
suiirage question, and, although the
opposition is not fully satisfied, it la
believed that the crisis has been
avoided, or, at hast temporarily post
poned. The opening session today was
extremely stormy but order was main
lined by means f strictly enforcing
the rules of parliament. An enor
mous crowd was assembled in front
of (he parliament building, but po
lice officers were, scattered in large
numbers and suppressed hostile de
monstrations. ANOTHER MARRIAGE IN
