The temperature in El Paso
went up Friday night, .the low

grees above zero, but it got
colder Saturday morning and
there was a light fall of sleet
about 6 oelock. almost com
pletely covering the pavements
in some places. The sleet soon
stopped, but the weather was

illo and the staked plains country of
the southwest are in the grip of an
other blizzard, following two days of
springlike weather.
Snow driven by heavy
winds,
earin
coupled with a. temperature nearing
the zero point,- is creating much suf
fering today, as the people and the
cattle of the plains have already suf
fered severely during the past week,
with the coldest spell in lateer day
history.
VERY COLD DOWN
TO MEXICAN COAST
Cananea, HermosUlo and Even Goaymas
Suffer From the Cold Weather;
Records Are Broken.
Cananea, Son.. Max., Jan. 11. Can
anea experienced the coldest weather
in its history this week, when the
thermometer registered 6 1-2 degrees
above zero- in the city and 6 below
at Ojo de Agua, where the pumping
plant is located. Considerable trou
ble witn broken water pipes is being
had. as the weather becomes warmer
and on the Mesa there has been a
water shortage, so severe that the
company has been delivering water to
residences in that portion of the city.
Cananea is not the only place in J
Sonora that suffered from the cold,
for at almost every point in the state
extremely cold weather was had. Her
mosillo experienced the coldest
weather in 40 years; water pipes
froze, snow fell and ice formed on the
man irrigation ditches in the orange
groves -
In Guaymas the thermometer regis
tered as low as 49 above, which is ex
tremelv cold for that otherwise warn
climate. What -jb4 H cW -feit-f
there so badly was that "there are no
arrangements for heating - there as
nor.? has fever been required Hereto
fore. Everything is in the open and
nothing in the line of stoves can tie
found in t'.iat city. All along the S. P.
de M. railroad north of Guaymas to
Nogales the cold caused extensive suf
fering among the poorer class. In all
probability the coldest place in Sonora
during the pest week was the Santa
Cruz vajley, between Cananea and No
gales. The river was completely
frozen over in manyplaoes and tne
ice on the irrigation ditches was of
sufficient thickness to support the
weight of a good sized man.
HEAVY SNOW FALLS
AT SILVER CITY
Silver City, N. M, Jan. 11. A heavy
snow fell last night. Today it is six
inches deep, a terrible condition con
cerning cattle on the range. It is

Los Angeles. Calif., Jan. 11. Tem
peratures below the freezing point
were again reported last night in all
if the larger citrus fruit districts, but
growers declared toda J that little ad

weather bureau, howeveT, predicted it
would be several degrees colder to
morrow. PLENTY OF SNOW; RIVER

Tornillo. Texas, Jan. 10. The snow
lies eight inches deep . around Tor
nillo. Tuesday the thermometer regis
tered six degrees below zero and yes
trrday it stood 10 degrees below zero.
The Rio Grande is frozen solid from

ETTOB SUGGESTS VIOLENCE
IN ADDRESS TO STRIKERS.
Xew York, N. Y., Jan. 11. "If you
are compelled to go back under un
satisfactory conditions, go back 'with
a determination to stick together until
- ou get what you want. Go back with
your minds made up that It is tHe1 un
safest thing in the world for tlfe capi
talist to eat food prepared 'by members
of your union."
This was the advice thwk Joseph
Kttor, the labor leader, reeat1jt ac
quitted on charges growing out of
the textile strike rials at Lawrence,
Mass.. uttered to striding hotel em
plojes. who met in all night session
after a series of disturbances in front
of hotels and restaurants.
After ho concluded his speech, 'Ettor
was asked to comnMjit on his words.
T meant just what I said." was his
reply. He refused to make further explanation.

Athens, Greece,' Jan. 11. Moslems today massacred 30 women and. children
and pillaged and tamed 120 houses in the village of Keramisza, in the Turkish
province of Epirus, a short distance fro m the Greek frontier.

Plan to Stop Begging Dur
ing the Year; One Fund
For All Purposes. .
ADVERTISE CITY IN
A BUSINESS WAY
El Paso may adopt the budget sys
tem for its chamber of commerce and
therby eliminate collection campaigns
for the entertainment of visitors, the
securing of conventions ard the general
advancement of the city. On Monday
night at S oelock, a meeting will be
held at the chamber of commerce, at
which time members and other busi
ness men are invited to discuss these
new plans.
Sanford B. Ricaby. who has installed
this system in San Antonio and Seattle
during the past year with marked suc
cess, will explain his method to El
Paso. Already It. has met with favor
in the eyes of several prominent busi
ness men, and it may be adopted. He
was requested to stop in El Paso and
explain this system.
In San Antonio Mr. Ricaby consoli
dated the various societies which work
fhnra for thn lmbnildinfr of "the citv
. and installed the budget system. He
f .Mi tlCA AAA a SAottlhoHlil nnnnTlv
as well, and It is expected that El Paso
cn raise at least ?60,000 a year through
this new method.
Instead of going- about from time to
time, to collect money for various pur
pf ses, a budget is prepared at the be
ginning of the year. All are asked to
contribute their share toward the ex
penses incident to the coming year.
This money is collected and distributed
tt rough the Same sources as at pres
ent, but the collection thereof is dif
ferent. Ricaby manages the campaign and is
agisted by a committee of members oC
the chamber of commerce in setting
the money which is to be devoted to
the needs of the city during the year
to follow. He works on a salary.
Big Expense Past Yenr.
During the past year. El Pasoan3
expended more than $46,000 On public
advertisement, attending conventions.
entertaining others and in the general
social functions for which the cham
ber of commerce works. The Os-Aple
jubilee cost 15000. The Interurban rail
way project necessitated the raising
of a 115,000 bonus, the cottlemen's con
vention last March cost $6600,' at least
$3006 was expended on tb,e trip of the
delegates to the Irrigation congress at
Salt Lake City and the men who went
'on the trade excursion spent $11.00.
This money had to be raisel at dif
ferent times &id much difficulty was
experienced at times in getting all that
was required. In some instances, the
collections fell short of what had been
desired. It is pointed out that the new
plan will work better, because tber

to get any paruciuar convenoun. -
Further,- if it is determined that the J
convention will - not brine back suf
ficient funds, efforts to obtain it will
not be made.
line Business Methods.
Ricaby has adopted business meth
ods, believing that the boosting of a
city Is a business proposition. He has
pointed out and aided in the upbuilding
of several cities. Tiotable among which
was Portland, Ore., where, in ;90S he
raised $126,000 a year for a two-year
period, and two years later raised
JTOO.OOO more per year for the same
c'ty.
He instituted the Potlatch show lit
Seattle in 1911 and raised $60,000. and
during the year 1912. he raised S150.000
in the same city for "the benefit of the
chamber of- commerce.
Ricaby studied out this system and
it has proved very successful wherever
adopted. -
From El Paso he will so to Houston
Tex where he is to conduct a campaign
similar to the one he made in San An
tonio. The chamber of commerce at
Oakland, Cal., and Austin, Tex., have
written Mr. Ricaby within the last
three days to conduct campaigns for
tlitm.
PEACE ENVOYS ARE
STILL DEADLOCKED
Turks Declare They will Leave London
Conference Unless Allies Change
Their Demands.
London, England, Jan. 11. No sign
of a loosening of the deadlock In the
Balkan situation is yet in sight. In the
meantime the world awaits the fall
of the long beleaguered fortress of
Adrlanople and is watching with close
Interest for the effect which the col
lective iote to be handed to Turkey by
the a Tibasjadors at Constantino! le, wi'

RETIRING JUDGE SAYS COURTS
ARE HELD" IN DISBESPECT
Denver, Colo., Jan. 11. In retiring
from the district court bench of Den
ver, jujflge Hubert L. Shattuck Issued
a statement concerning the courts of
the nation and their relation to the peo
ple. "Out of my experience as a judge,"
said he. "I have no hesitancy in saying
that the -people are holding the courts
in more and -more disrespect. If this
condition continues during thn next five
years, and progresses as rapidly as it
lias during the past five, years, it will
be a. great factor toward the estab
lishment of anarchy.
"The dignity of the court is being
sneered 'at on all sides and its influ
ence as s. consequence, is becoming
minimized as a facto of good and arbi
tration in the scheme of society. This
applies not only to Denver, but
throughout the nation."

WOMAN'S CHARGES
CREATE SENSATION
Washington, D. C-, Jan. 11. The first
Ifreak in the. deadlock over president
Taft's appointments, pending in the
&gnate. came today when at an execu
tive session. Brig. Gen. James B. Ale
shire was confirmed as a major general
and Surg. Gen. Geo. M. Torney was
confirmed as a brigadier general. This
action followed a morning caucus by
tne uemocrats, Dut tne lines are so
fcharply drawn still between Repub
licans and Democrats that no further
confirmations are expected in the im
mediate future except on army and
r.-avy and diplomatic appointments.
The senate did not act. on the case
of Brlg.-Gen. Witherspoon or Col. John
McClcrnand.
The deadlock between the Democrats
and Republicans is expected to con
tinue over the 1300 nominations now
pending.
The fight in the senate probably will
be renewed early next week to deter
mine the length to which both parties
will go in the struggle.
"Woman Startles Senate.
Mrs. Helen Pierce Gray who, as an
investigator of Crow Indian affairs,
has been the center of more than one
storm, created a tumultuous scene he
fore the senate Indian affairs commit
tee today when she charged that In
dians had been murdered to set them
out of the way, that secretary Fisher
and senator Dixon had made state
ments "deliberately untrue," and that
if she had opportunity to produce all
her evidence "secretary Fisher would
be connected up with one of the most
gljrantic steals jrointr on in the United
States."
The secretary and the senator ob
jected vigorously to her being per
mitted to make such general charges.
Members -of the committee demanded
that Mrs. Gray Droduce her nroofs and

Archbald Case With "Jury.'
The impeaohment of judge Robert
W. Archbald. of the United States com
merce court, passed last night out of
the hands of the house managers and
judge Archibald's attorneys and be
came the subject of consideration for
the senate sitting as a jury. The trial
that has engrossed the attention of
the senate rtmore -than ((bur hours
a -day since December 3 came to an
end when representative Henry D.
Clavton. of Alabama, wini-liiilwi tYia
final argument of the- house managers J
with another appeal for the removal I
of judBe Arcnbald, because of alleged
misconduct. I
Just as the senate was about to ad
journ. senator Reed, of Missouri,
asked -permission to submit one more
question to judge Archbald as to
whether or not he had altered the rec
ord of testimony in the Louisville &
ISashvllle rate case before the com
merce court. His correspondence with
attorney Helm Bruce in this case fur
nished the foundation for one of the
articles of impeachment.
Question Withdrawn.
Judge Archbald'sattorneys declared
if the question was submitted they
would require an opportunity to make
further arguments. A secret session
was ordered at once and at the end of
more than an hour of debate, it was
announced that the senate declined to
order the. question submitted to judge
Archbald. Senator Reed then formally
withdrew it.
The -senate resumed consideration of
the case behind closed doors today.
The vote upon all of the 13 separate
charges against judge Archbold Is, to
be taken Monday. While the senate will
consider the case in secret, it will vote
in the open. It was first agreed to
allow each senator to state orally his
reasons for hl vote; later the senate
rescinded its action in that regard and
provided that each senator should file
his reasons in writing.
Th full npnnltv Vo mn., t. .
posed by the senate includes not only I
removal from office, but disbarment of f
judge Archbald from ever holding any
iivsiuuu ui puunc trust in tne ruture.

Villa Ahumada, Chlh., Jan. 11.
Seven thousand Mauser cartridges and
three cases of dynamite containing
over 400 sticks of tne deadly stun,
were discovered In a house near the
Central railroad depot here yesterday
by officers of the federal army, who
hnri thc1r citnniMnnR nronsed bv the
actions of several cowboys loitering in
the vicinity of the. house where tne I
contraband was discovered. '
A search was made because it has .
been known for some time that the :
rebels have been getting ammunition ,
from stations along the railroad, as
manv boxes consigned to the federal i
! garrisons along the road have been j
uisappeanng irom lime iu win?, upvu
the approach of the officers the cow
boys jumped astride their horses and
fled.
COL. BLANCO SAID TO
HAVE BEEN KIDNAPED
Rebels rriday kidnaped Gen. Jose de
la Luz Blanco and hio udjutant from
under the noses of the federal com
nander"s coljnin of 500 men, say reli
able advn i x t"ily. Blanco was en
camped just north of Madera in a
mountainous countrv. It is declared
that the rebels escaped to the hills
with their captives.

railway was to resume traffic Satur

MORMONS CAN'T GET
BACK TO COLONIES
Many Waiting, Some With Relatives
Sick Sown There, lint Unable
to Get "Back Home."
Between 25 and 30 persons are wait
ing for the first train, which they
thought would run today, to carry them
Into Mexico. Peter and Mrs. Skousen
have part of their family already In
the colonies and they tried to join them
when the last train was turned back.
Mrs. Stowell has received a telegram
, that her son. Earle. is down with ty
phoid fever and the father wants her
I to come on the first train to nurse the
; son.
John Wilson is anxious to return to
his mercantile business that he has
been trying, with the aid of his com
pany,, to keep open during the last
revolution, and so almost each person
and each family has some special fea
ture to draw them back to Mexico and
their home. But most of the colonists
fear that the federals are not strong
enough to protect the foreigners even If
they had a disposition to do so.
A little band of Mexicans, composed
of old employes of the Mormons, have
located in the mountain colonies and
defy anyone to go up there. At first
there were hut 15, but their numbers
are being augmented constantly,
though the federals are near and know
all about them.
"It is hard to believe that they are
fighting for principles when a rebel
one day, becomes a federal the next
and vice versa," said a Mormon today.
"Conditions are no better in Colonia
Morelos, where the federals are in full
possession. The soldiers are dealing
out misery to the property owners
there, making them pay for their own
products or in other words by their
own produce.
Broughten Lunt has returned from
the City of Mexico, where has been on
a mission. He leftNyesterday to join
Yilt -crlft in Ai-lnTift jiTi.l tn hrinir her
bac to El Paso. He says conditions
in the interior have been exaggerated
though they have been bad enough.
O. P. Brown has returned from Utah.
He hastened his return because of a
telegram telling him of the very ser
ious illness of his wife, who is In Ari
zona. She, however. Is very much Im
proved now.
The young folks of the refugee coio
ny gathered and enjoyed themselves
at the Merrill home last evening.

While Mr. Griscom is said to be act-
! 'nS in an unofficial capacity. It is
known that he is Informally represent

said that his instructions were to pilot
the Mexican foreign minister around
where he could meet Americans who
have suffered from lack of protection
in Mexico, that senor Lascurain might
see for himself. Just the provocation
the United States has for intervention
if it cared to act also that the Mexi
can government might learn for itself,

borders.
Pcsce Proposal Submitted.
Before departing last night minister
Lascurain declared that while in El
Paso he had received no peace overtures
from the rebels, then he admitted re
ceiving a peace plan drawn up by En
rique Ana a. Mexican consul at Tucson,
Ariz., who conferred with the minister.
The plan was. it Is said, to ailow
Madero to remain in office the re
mainder of his term, for half the cab
inet to resign and their places be filled
-with members chosen by the revolution
leaders, and for the enforcement at
once of the. land grant clause of the
San Luis Potosi plan of the Madero
revolution.
While it appeared that this plan did
not meet with the approval of the Mex
ican minister, R. Gomez Robeio, Gen.
Orozco's representative, declared last
night that he believed it would be ac
ceptable to the revolutionary faction.
