Every Business Man and
Farmer Urged to Attend
an Important
Session.
COL TW1TCHELL MAKES
STARTLING ADDRESS
For First Time Albuquerque Bus
iness Men Rouse to Realization
of Vast Agricultural Possi
bilities of This Favored
Section.
At the close of an enthusiastic
meeting of the Commercial club last
night a call was issued for another
meeting to be held Thursday night of
this week for the purpose of hearing
more about tiie national Irrigation
congress and considering further
means of securing it for this city a
year from next fall. Col. rt. E.
Twitchell, who so eloquently address
ed the meeting last night, will make
a special trip from Las Vegas to talk
on the subject Thursday, and It is
urged most strongly upon the busi
ness men and all those Interested,
Including farmers, that they attend
this meeting. It Is expected that
dettnlte plans will be formulated In
the matter of securing the congress
for Albuquerque, -which means that it
will be for the benefit of the whole
territory. The meeting will be of a
public order for all interested in the
development of this section of the
country, farmers and business men
alike.
Delegates will be appointed at this
meeting to attend the national irriga
tion congress in Sacramento, Cal., In
September.
Enthusiastic Meeting.
At the Commercial club last night
before a number of representative
Albuquerque business men. Col. II. E
Twitohell. of the Industrial depart
ment ot the Santa Fe railroad, and a
member of the National - Irrigation
congress executive committee, deliver
ed an eloquent address on the ad
vantages of holding the Irrigation
congress In this city, and the wonder
ful resources of this section of the
country which as yet remain undc
veloped. '
lieore Col. Twitchell had spoken
five minutes his wholesome entihusi-
asm had taken possession of every
person present and what, perhaps
was considered the vaguest sort of a
dream when the meeting was called,
began to assume the proportions of
a bona fide possibility. Certainly no
speaker who has addressed himself
to the enterprise of this city in tne
last twelve months has so appealed to
the resolution of his hearers as did
Col. Twitchell last evening in his
stirring and enlightening speech.
The meeting was called to consider
the matter of securing the annual
meeting of the Irrigation congress for
this city In the fall of 1U8. col.
Twitchell showed that the chances of
New Mexico for securing this big and
important convention are by no
means small. As a member of the
irrigation congress for eight years he
is qualitled to know the temper of
the congress and its sentiment in re
gard to the southwest. Ha assured
the meeting that of a certainty, at
least 160 votes of a possible 1.200
would be cast in favor of this city
.on the til's t ballot and with this num
ber as a starter, he felt that the con
gress could be convinced of the need
and advisability of holding a meeting
in Albuquerque.
Requirements for Success.
At the beginning of his address.
Col. Twitchell pointed out the dif
ficulties and requirements of holding
a big irrigation congrees in th oily.
He said there would be other west
ern cities after the congress; Denver,
Kansas City, Oklahoma City and oth
ers would make their bids for the
event which would mean so much for
the prosperity of any city. Albu
querque can not hope to vie with
these cities In Influence, but wealth
and size are not necessarllly the fea
tures to attract an irrigation congress
to a city. There is a fine feeling
among the delegates of the congress
for the southwest, and they realize
that such a convention would be of
more benefit to this section than to
any other part of the country. This
section is the least developed; Its re
sources most untried, and the matter
of irrigation the most important for
its permanent Improvement.
Col. Twitchell stated that the to
tal expense of holding the congress
In this city would be in the neighbor
hood of Sltt.OUO to $20,000. A fund
of J 3.000 would be needed by the
executive committee to be devoted ex
clusively to its needs in advertising,
etc. The chairman of this committee
would be an AUbuquerque man, and
he would direct all expenditures,
should Albuquerque secure the next
meeting. It would be necessary for
this committee to devote all its time
for several months to the work of
making arrangements and attending
to the business of the convention.
The members of the committee would
be expected to exert all their ener
gies toward making the congress :
success. All funds provided would be
spent by this cn, imlttee and so would
be handled by local men.
About 1.100 Will Attend.
At a congress held in Albuquerque
there would probably be about 1,100
deli-sales present, who would have to
be entertained. Two or three thou
sand other visitors would be attract
ed by the national event, and thus
the city would be taxed to provide
living tuc mimodation for the guests.
Col. Twili hell said that Albuquerque
alone would not be called upon to
stand the expense of the congress.

DUKE WITH MONEY WILL
WED AMERICAN
Captures Not Only Beautiful
Girl But Her Father's
Regards.
HE IS NOT MARRYING
TO SECURE COIN
New York, July 30. Due Mario
Torlonla, member of the Italian no
bility, has not only captured the hand
of a beautiful American heiress, but
has won the enthusiastic regard of
her father. The latter is Chas. A.
Moore, millionaire machinery dealer
and president of the American Pro
tective Tnrtff league.
Mrs. Moore, her daughter and the
duke came over from Europe a few
days ago, and Mr. Moore was at the
pier to meet them. Talking there
with the newspaper men, he admitted
a change of heart in the matter of
foreign dukes.
"A year ago I was radically op
posed to them," he Baid. "When I
heard that my daughter proposed to
marry one of 'them, 1 rushed over to
put a stop to the matter. Rut the
duke converted me. I found it was a
true love match, and that the young
man was not looking for money. He
is well able to support my girl in
the style In which she has lived,
comes of a first rate family and has
no bad habits and no debts. My
daughter will not get a dot and he
has not asked for one. Kven if he
had asked for money I would not
have given him a penny."
The wedding Is to take place next
October. The couple first met at
Venice two years ago. The lucky
duke is a member of one of the old
families of Italy. He breeds fine
horses and has plenty of money. He
bears the titles of duke of Poll, duke
of Uuadaguola and prince of Clvit-ella-Cessi.
His family is descended
fiom the original family of Torlonla
mill the members are related to the
righest Roman aristocracy. Among
their kinsmen are the princes of
rhigl. Orsini, Dorla Paufill, Barbar
ina. Colonna and Stigllana and the
nukes of Kpergia and Cessarlna.

TAFT IS ENDORSED BY
REPUBLICANS
OF
The State Central1 Committee
Adopts Resolutions Favor
Ing His Candidacy.
FORAKER BEGUN
FIGHT TOO LATE
Columbus, Ohio, July 30. A reso
lution endorsing Secretary Taft for
the presidency was adopted today by
the republican state central commit
tee. Before the republican state central
committee met today friends of Sec
retary Taft claimed an addition of
three votes In the committee on the
question of endorsing the secretary
of war for the presidency, because of
a letter Senator Foraker sent to B.
C McCoy, which letter was published
lust night. Politicians generally said
today that Foraker's letter places
him squarely in the fight for the
presidential nomination.
Taft supporters assert that they
will have at least thirteen' votes in
the committee for the endorsement
of Taft and possibly sixteen or sev
enteen. Foraker leaders Insist that they
can prevent the endorsement of Taft
but gave no figures.
The meeting began at 2:30 o'clock.
It was generally conceded that the
suggestion made by Foraker in his
litter that a primary to settle Ohio's
entice for the presidency and an ac
ceptance of the challenge by the Taft
manager, meant a state primary
probably early in the fall.
The matter will not be decided by
tho commutes today, it is stated, al
though some of the Taft men urge
i hat the queHion bo taken up.

Peculiar Status In Shotting Affray
at San Antonito. Socorro Coun
ty. Which May Result In
Victim's Death at
Any Hour.
San Antonio, N. M July SO.
(Special). "The unwritten law'
may be the plea of a woman defend
ant at the next term of court in So
corro county. " Mrs. Louis Peralta,
wife of a well known native residing
at the town of San Antonito, a farm
ing community below the new town
of San Antonio, will be the defend
ant and should the boy she shot Sun
day night die. that plea will un
doubtedly be made in her behalf.
About 10 o'clock Sundny night Mrs.
Peralta shot Jesus Padillo, second
son of Tlburso Padillo, and the boy
is now lying at his father's home at
the point of death.
Mrs. Peralta resides with her hus
band and two daughters, one of
whom is married but not now living
with her husband. She claims that
some of the boys of the neighborhood
have been coming around her house
at nights, knocking on the windows
of the room occupied by her daugh
ters, and she issued a warning a few
days ago that any repetitions of such
actions would result in a shooting.
Sunday night about 10 o'clock, she
heard someone knocking at the win
dow and she called three times, she
says, to see who was there, but re
ceived no answer.
Find at cintna Range.
Khe went ' Into' liother room, and
got a shot gun, firing at the intruder,
the whole load of shot striking Jesus
Padillo in the body, he being only
about 15 feet away when the gun
was discharged.
After probing four Inches into the
boy's body, Dr. Delfenbach, who was
hastily summoned, could find only
two of the shot, the others having
gone deeper.
It appears that the boy, who Is
only 14 years of age, was In com
pany with his cousins, Antonio and
Kstanllo Gonsales. and -that he was
only Just Inside Mrs. Peralta's yard.
She says she had been annoyed by
another cousin of the injured boy
named Isalu Gonzales, whom she
claims had visited her house on sev
eral occasions, at one time even
breaking down a door, and she says
she mistook young Padillo for that
man. She had no Intention of hurt
ing Padillo.
Held Without Hail.
Both Mrs. Peralta and her hus
band had a preliminary hearing be
fore Terrezo Dopes, Justice of the
peace, yesterday morning and were
committed to Jill without ball to
await the result of the victim's in
juries. Late today reports indicate
that he may recover, though his con
dition is very Berlous.
The Padillo family lives near the
Peraltas and the two families have
been the best of friends.
Mrs. Peralta feels must wrought up
over the affair but says she has been
so greatly annoyed by the frequent
knocking on her daughter's room
windows that she felt it her duty to
protect them from further annoyance
and possible harm. She had no in
tention of hurting the young boy, but
ns he was in her yard with the other
two, she believes a Jury will promptly
acquit her of any crime, because she
was only protecting the honor of her
family.
Her daughters have borne good
reputations and the only trouble that
has come to them outside of this af
fair was the parting of the eldest and
her husband, many of the people of
San Antonio si. ling with the girl.

WASN'T SCARED A MITE
BY PERILOUS TRIP
Iiland, N. M., July 30. While it
Is not a fact that a skidding team
from a lumber camp was necessary
to pull a pretty young lady, wull
known In Albuquerque, from her
perilous porch on a ledge 150 feet be
low the rim of a rocky cleft and sev
eral hundred feet above the valley in
the Jcmei mountains near here, re
cently, It Is a fact that six of the
strongest and most heroic men in th-
lumber district wltih the assistance of
a block and tackle were necessary to
hoist her to safety. She declares thai
she never had "so many men on the
string before in her Ufa."
Ths young lady in question with a
party of friends has been camping
In the Jemez region. She is of ven
turesome, though not reckless disposi
tion and the terrors of the mouuUuu
side couldn't scare her a bit.
The country is very rugged. For
bidding cliffs rise to sheer heights
and precipices hundreds of feet deep
yawn at one's feetf The cave-llku
clefts In the grotesquely shaped rock
are full of awe and mystery, and
even such a thing as a bear might be
seen, while mountain Hons are fre
quently met with, and eagles and oth
er large birds of prey nest in the
fastnesses.
Was Not Afraid.
Net these did she fear, but she
did want to find a cave that is said
to be full of snow and Ice the year
round, so she wandered away into
the mountains, all alone. She paid
no heed to the fact that the shadows
were lengthening toward the east, or
that night was coming swiftly, until
she reached a height several hundred
feet above the valley camp.
An inviting cleft between two rocks
looked like a short cut to the val
ley and she clambered down swiftly.
In a few moments, she stopped to
rest and look about her. To her sur
prise she was ISO or more feet be
low the rocky rim and at least 3u0
feet above the valley and she couldn't
go either way.
Did she cry out with fear? Not
much; she sat calmly down on a
boulder and considered the situation.
How long she might havi sat there,
is a problem, but for the fact tha,l
some of the men In a nearby lutnbor
camp had noted the fairy skipping
lightly from one rock to another for
some time, only to suddenly lose
sight of her at the mouth of the cleft
and they knew what had happened.
JlCM'UtXl.
They saw her calmly seated on the
rock uud for a time feared to fright
en her, but when she became aware
of their presence above her, she ask
ed for advice as to how to get out
of her predicament.
They secured a block and tackle,
rigged it out over the aide of the
cluft, and by letting down about 100
yards of stout rope, which she coolly
fastened about herself In such a man
ner as to permit them to raise her,
the six men soon had her on the up
per run of the cliff and in a few
minutes she reached her friends at
the camp, unhurt and not scared u
mite.
The rescuers assert that she is one
of the bravest girls in the country and
insist that the fact that it required
six of them to pull her up to Bafety
is not a sign that she is a heavy
weight. She only weighs 103 pounds.

ANNA GOULD WILL WED
ANOTHER FRENCH
Well Authenticated Rumors
That She Has Become
Engaged. -
HER FAMILY MAKES
EMPHATIC DENIAL
New York, July 30. Relatives of
Anna Gould here deny that she Is to
be married in a short time, but re
fuse to say that she does not in
tend to wed a French nobleman some
time this fall or early wlivter.
Close on the heels of Anna Gould's
final divorce from Count Bonl de Cas
tellane comes the apparently authen
ticated rumor that the wealthy Am
erican woman is shortly to marry
another French nobleman, Prince
Hello Desagan. It is believed the en
gagement will be announced imme
diately after the expiration of the 60
days allowed to Count Bonl for an
appeal to the divorce decree.
The prospective successor to Bonl
Is a brother of the Duke of Vullncay,
whom Helen Morton divorced. Prince
Desagan is seen almost dully in the
company of the pretty American
countess and their infatuation for
eauih other has already become com
mon gossip on the Parisian boule
vards. On several occasions the
prince has paid extended visits to the
countess at her chateau near Ham

New York. July 30. According t-
a report circulated today and later

Intends to return to the stage this
fall, despite the objections of her hus
band and his lawyers. At the olllee
of Daniel U'Keilley, one of the Thaw

nied the report.
According to the report Mrs. Thaw
Is not abls to endure the retirement
from the footlights her mother-in-law

that she will have a prominent part

Bodies Mutilated With Sharp
Knife, Apparently After
Victims Were Murdered.
NEITHER OF THEM
HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED
Police Believe Slayer Is Insane
With Desire to Kill and Slash
Females-He Left Only
One Small
Clue.
New York, July 30. The bodies
of two women with the marks of
strangulation on their throats have
been found here within the last IS
hours and the police believe that one
man killed both. Neither has been
lot n titled.
line Is about 27 years old and her
body was found In an areaway on
Ka.it Nlntieth street. The other was
founii lit a Twenty-second street
boarding house. .She came to the
house with a man who gave the name
of Davis.
A necktie had been tied so tightly
around her throat that the blood ves
sels In the throat were broken. She
was about 24 years old.
No trace of the man, who had the
appearance of a foreigner, has been
found.
An examination of the bodies of
the strangler's victims discloses the
fact that both are mutilated. This
fact leads the police to believe that
both murders were committed by
some person or persons possessed of
an insane desire to 'mutilate his vie- 1
tims. -
Are Working Girls.
The two women are of about the
same build physically, but the police
are -unable to Identify either of them.
They are apparently of the working;
girl class as each wore plain but neat
clothing and the evidences of car
and order in the arrangement, despite
ths tumMyd appearance nf th cloth
ing, leads to the belief that they are '
employed In the down town depart
ment stores. A search of all those
stores for missing girls is being made
and it Is probable that the police will
succeed In finding friends of the dead
women before night.
In each case the fiend who com
mitted the murder had evidently
strangled his victim first aa there
was little evidence of a struggle ex
cept in the rough marks around the
throat of each woman. He then mu
tilated their bodies with a sharp knife
or razor and covered them with their
clothing, placing them In a position
as nearly natural as possible in or
der to give the Impression that they
were asleep and not dead.
Murderer May he Insane.
There is not the slightest clue to
the fiend who committed the mur
ders, other than tht It, is the man
called Davis. He did not even leave
a finger print or blood mark on the
victim's clothing and not a person in
the vicinity of where either body was
found recollects ever having seen
either of the women or the man be
fore the murder. The best detectives
of the city are aiding the police in a
search for the murderer but with lit
tle hope of success.
It Is possible that the muroerer is
crazy and it Is on this theory that the
detectives are proceeding, ihey have
Issued a general warning to all ladles
to be accompanied by escorts when
on the street after nightfall until the
murderer is apprehended.
