GIVE IT PREFERENCE
Democrats A.crec at a Cau
cus to Stand Solidly
Against the Proposal;
O'Connor Dissents
"Washington, Nov. "2. The road,
was swiftly cleared today for an;
early end of the house fight over!
the administration shipping bill,'
which will begin tomorrow. ;
A special resolution Riving the j
bill right of way was put through
the house by a vote of 200 to HU.'
It followed party lines, although''
three democrats supported and 16!
republicans opposed it. Generally
sneaking, leaders said, it did not in
dicate the line up when the house
votes on final Passage November
29.
Immediately after the action of
the house, democrats agreed at n
party caucus to stand up solidly
against the measure, enactment of
which was urged yesterday by
President Harding in an address to
a Joint session of congress. One
democrat at tho caucus O'Connor
of Louisiana served notice that
he would not bo bound by tho de
cision, at tho samo tlmo Announc
ing he was in favor of tho bill.
Soldier lJoniis Issue
The soldier bonus issue was in
jected into tho debate by Repre
sentative Johnson, republican, of
South Dakota, who announced thtit
he would vote to permit the house
to consider the bill, but would not
vote for Us passage. Sir. Johnson
declared no party could survive
that refused to give a bonus to
soldiers and then give a bonus to
ships.
Sharply contrasting views were
presented by Representative Mon
dell, Wyoming, the republican
leader, and Rperesentativo Garrett,
Tennessee, the democratic leader.
Mr. Mondell asserted that the re
publican administration had not
been able in eighteen months to
cure the evils left by a democratic
administration, particularly with
reference to the shipping problem.
It wasaquestion, he said of a con
structive, or A destructive policy.
Turning to members on the repub
lican side, Mr. Mondell said they
could not escape the responsibility
of meeting the issue in this con
gress. Running Truo to Form
.Mr. Garrett declared that in at
tempting to forco the bill through
the republican administration,
'with the death rattlo in its throat,
was running truo to form in fa
voring the special interests." Tt
was surprising, he said, that the
drive for the bill should be made
immediately after the administra
tion had been "repudiated and dis
credited" at the polls.
Pleading for action, Chairman
Campbell of the rules committee
challenged opponents of the bill to
bring forward something better.
Taking stock tonight after the
first skirmish, republican leaders
asserted the bill would pass the
house with at least 25 votes to
spare, hut they declined to specu
late on its chance in the senate.
The view was expressed by oth
ers that if defeated, it would go
down at the hands of the repub
licans and that the question of
final enactment by the house de
pended upon the fate of a-raft of
amendments, to be offered.
RIVER TREATY MAY BE

Mrs. Geo. Stark Comes
Here to Act as Nurse;
Man in the Case Fined
$35, Sentenced to Jail
Mrs. Georgo Stark. Kansas City
girl WHO claims to ue a cuuhui ui (
Robert M. La Pollette, United States
senator from Wisconsin, left Albu-j
nueniue last night to Join her
father in California, after a partic
ularly trying experience here. Mrs.
.Stark is the 17-year-old girl who
answered an advertisement in the
Kansas City Star, which is alleged
to have been inserted by Christian
Dunn of thiscity, and then came
to Albuquerque only to stumble
into a case which police say skirted
closely on the border of the Mann
act.
Christian Dunn, the man who
appeared in tho case, was tried yes
terday afternoon in tho police
court. Judge George Roddy pre
sided and District Attorney K. IS.
Garcia was present to investigate.
1uiiii Pleaded tiiii''-
Dunn pleaded guilty to having
signed the register at a local
hotel as himself and "wife." Un
der this plea Garcia agreed not to
prosecute under the Mann net pro
viding Dunn would pay the ex
penses of Mrs. Stark to Ontario,
Calif., where shB is to Join her
father. Dunn agreed to pay these
expenses and posted the money for
this purpose. He was also fined
$33 by Police Judge Roddy and
wus sentenced to serve three days
in Jail.
The story of Mrs. Stark gives the
details of the case. Mis. Stark, a!
beautiful brunette of IT told her
story to a representative of the
Morning Journal last niiiht, in a
simple, girlish, unaffected manner. I
At times she stopped in her nnr-'
rutive, apparently to gain control,
and then went on in tho same sim
ple manner.
She said she will he 18 years old
December 9 next, Her muimten
name was Delia La Fnllctte aniF
she is, she said, a cousin of the;
United States senator from Wis
consin. Her father. G. C. li. Fol-i
lelte, is now at Ontario, Calif. llei
If, sho stated, a first cousin of Sen-,
ator l,a Follette. Her mother.
who is now Mrs. Alice Achterbery,
lives in Kansas City.
Decided to Marry
The girl has made her home
with her mother in Kansas City.
Last summer George Stark, a
member of tho United States navy,
wit s granted a furlough to visit his
home, which is also at Kansas City.
Stark and tho girl, now his wife,
hud been boy and girl sweethearts
and they, decided to marry during
tho period of his furlough, as it
would be a long wait, of more thai-.
a year, before be would he free I
from lils enlistment in the navy.
They were married July 22 of,
this year. A short time alter their
marriage Stark was compelled to i
return to his ship, the time of his!
furlough having almost expired.)
Ho rejoined his ship, the U. S. S.
Cleveland, and is now serving ;
aboard that ship at Balboa, Canal
Zone. 'i
Tho young wife, left alone, dc-
ckled she would obtain employ
ment and thus add to P.o "neat
egg" which Stark is putting by
from his pay in tho navy. Stark!
is to Join his wil'o at tho end of his
"cruise" and the nest, is then to be!
built with the money which has
accumulated In the "nest egg."
With this thought in mind Mrs
Stark perused the advertising col
umns of the Kansas City dailies.
Finally she happened on one in the
Kansas City Star which she
thought would fill tin? bill. It call
ed for a young lady to net as nnrse
for children who were to bo taken
to California from Albuquerque.
This opportunity looked particu
larly desirable. It .would take her
to California where her father is
now located and she wanted to re
join him. Moreover, she and her
husband had planned upon going
to California to settle after he
leaves the navy. She read tho 'ad
vertisement last Wednesday, No
vember 15.
Replied to Advertisement
Se Mrs. Stark wrote to Albuquer
que in reply to the advertiser"-"t.
Moth she and tho local police de
clare that Dunn then wired her
funds for transportation from Kan
sas City. She left there Monday
night at 10:20.
Her mother was not as entirely
satisfied as was the girl that all
was well. So the mother wired the
Albuquerque police asking them to
investigate the case and to take
whatever action these investiga
tions led them to consider advis
able. The result of these investigations
was that Chief of Police Galusha
detailed Officer George E. Wyatt
to meet the girl at tho railroad
station. Upon her arrival at 12:35
Tuesday night, Wyatt met her and
escorted her to the police Etation.
As soon as she had given the police
the information they sought she
was escorted to a hotel.
The investigations further led to
the police taking into custody
Christian Dunn, the man alleged to
have inserted the advertisement in
tho Kansas City Star and to have
wired transportation to tho girl.
Dunn's trial and the sentence im
posed yesterday afternoon fol
lowed. 'Mrs. Stark left Albuquerque nt
8:30 last night, en route for Cali
fornia. She will Join her father at
Ontario. Calif. Before leaving last
night r.he said Bhe intends to re
main with her father until her hus
band is discharged from the navy
and Joins her.

Oraanization Will Im
prove Quality and Quan
tity of Milk Produced
An effort is being made to revive
the Bernalillo County Cow Test
ing association, which functioned
for a short time several months
ago and then wus allowed to go
out of active existence. The asso
ciation had as Its object the regu
lar testing of dairy cows with a
view to increasing tho quality und
ouamitv of milk produced. By
keeping accurate records of feed
consumed and the amount ami
richness of milk given by dairy, it
is possible to determine which
cows are profitable to maintain
and which should be replaced.
This system is followed closely in
dairy centers in all parts of tin
country and is found ;o he instru
mental in improving the quality of
dairy herds, with a constituent iu
crea'so in profit for the dairymen.
County Agent Lee .1. Reynolds
is furthering the revival of the as
sociation here. He said yesterday
that a considerable number of
owners of dairy cows have express-
led a willingness to become mem-
I A few (lays go Mr. Ut yntiKIs
lamination of a herd of four cows
at an institution in tne coumy uuu
found that the four were not pro
ducing sufficient milk, cither in
quantity or quality, to equal the
output of one first class cow. A
cow testing association, he said,
would put an end to such condi
tions. It -is more profitable, he
said, to sell a poor producing cow
for beef, nt a sacrifice on her
original cost, rather than keep her
iu a duiry herd consuming ioou
that should be given to a good pro
ducer. Farmers' Rooks Approved
The system of farm bookkeeping
which is being taught to farmers
through the extension department
of the state agricultural college,
Mr. Reynolds said yesterday, is ap
proved 'by the United Stales inter
nal revenue department. Farmers
using the system are able to make
a report that is accepted by all in
como tax collectors. Since the

lie had received several applica
tions from farmers for instructions

Reno Nev., Nov. 22. Heroic ef

A. Cochran, who died yesterday as
a result of a 50-day self-imposed
fast, were made by her physician
at the state and county hospital
and at private institutions, it was
revealed today, but only once in the
fifty davs was sho persuaded to
take a spoonful of broth and that
was last Sunday, but she elected it
from her mouth at once.
From October 2. when her fast
began, she wasted away until her
weight at death was only sixty
pounds. Past Saturday the Red
Cross took her to a private hos
pital and tt was there she died.
Mr?. Cochran first eamo into
publicity a year ago when slie per
suaded her attorney to swenr to a
complaint that she was insane. At
that time the physicians who ex
amined her said she was only suf
fering from lack of wholesomV
food. Sho told them then she
wanted to live for the sake of her
children but that sho believed food
of any kind would simply hasten
her death. Last July her husband
charged her with Insanity, but she
was again declared to be sane.
During her fast tho nurso who
'was with her part of the time says
Mrs. Cochran would frequently cry
out that she wanted to live, but she
steadfastly refused all food.

started to mako his way toward
the mouth of the mine. He was
joined by other miners.
This survivor who escaped Un
scathed said that after he had
proceeded only a short dis
tance ho began to feel the effects
of the dreaded after-damp and for
a time believed that he and his
companions were doomed.
These men were among the first
i to reach the outside with actual
news of the terrible scenes lnsidf
the mine. They told of passing1
over bodies in the main entry, and
of seeing other miners, badly in
lured and moaning for help as the
fatal after-damp snuffed out their
uv
! About thirty men saved their
'Ives by blocking a passageway into

ting off effectually the polsonout
gases and after-damp until thw
fans were started again and clear
ed the way for them to reach the
outside alive.
As the night wore on, fresh
crews replaced tired workers.
Mangled forms were borne out

crooked road that led from mine
to hospital. At 9 o'clock It wn
announced that it would take Until
