years it has been the custom of the
port to extend special courtesies of the
port in the form of ree admission of
cigars, drawn work artl other Mexican
goods from Juarez.
At a conference between collector Z.
L. Cobb and deputy collector W. W.
Carpenter, it was decided that these so
called courtesies of the port would not
be continued, as it was found that thev
were a source of constant trouble to
me customs -fricials and tnat while
eery cotfrtes would be extended at
the custom house, no special favors
wruld be granted in the way of free
adiuss.on of dilable goods from Mex
. o This does not include the 25 cents
worth of cigars, or $1 worthof curio-
which the tourists are permitted to
bring from Juarez at the option of the
customs officials This is not required
by law, but .s extended to tourists who
wish to bring some curio out of Mex

There is to be no change made in the
custom service at the present time, as
the new collector wishes to make a
complete tudy of the service and then
will make only such changes as will
increase the efficency of the Service.
To prevent his time from being taken
up with such useless applications, the
office of 'deputy collector W. W-. Car

As the work of the office is clerical,
the force wifi not be reduced in any
department because of the change In

of the business at the local port.

INTENTIONAL FRAUD
IS ACCUSERS' CHARGE
AIBANY, N. Y., Sept. 25. The court
of impeachment for the trial of
Gov. Sulzer today unanimously
voted in favor of admitting testimony in
relation to campaign funds, whether
specified in the articles of impeachment
or not.

He had known William Sulzer for 23
years, he said, and considered himself
an intimate acquaintance.
Defence Objects.
"When he started to tell about the
organization's contributions to Sulzer,
attorney Marshall, for the defence,
objected, maintaining there was noth
ing in the articles of impeachment re
garding this, witness. The purpose of
the articles of impeachment, he con
tended, was to give notice to a respond
ent of the nature of the accusations
against him and to afford him time to
prepare an answer.
Mr. Stanchfield. in reply, declared
that the managers "have secured and
are prcaTed to prove that Sulzer re
ceived a large number of contributions.
There is no Question as a matter of law,
but that this evidence Is admissible.
Charge Intentional Fraud.
"The managers charge that Win.
Sulzer filed a false statement of cam
paign expenditures intentionally. He
studiously concealed contributions from
all sources where he thought their pub
lic acknowledgment might injure his
political future. Therefore we claim
that it is proper that we should show
all instances wherein he acted in a
manner that renders him unfit to oc
cupy the high place he now fills.
"We charge that he deliberately set
out to falsify his statement and that
he accomplished his purpose."
"Contributions Concealed"
"These transactions a hundred or
more in number," continued Mr. Stanch
field, "constituted a common scheme, a
design on the part of the respondent to
display certain contributions and con
ceal others. I concede that the failure

The presiding judge said that In an or

This case, however," he said, "is to
be construed' with greater latitude.
The respondent had time to file a bill

Mr. Stanchfield handed the witness a

Mr. Elkus was then excused.

Colorado Governor Gives an
Ultimatum to Coal .Mine
Factions.
WILL PERMIT NO ONE
,TO CARRY FIREARMS
DENVER, Colo., Sept 25. Lawless
ness in any of the coal mining dis
tricts affected by the strike will
not be countenanced and if the county
police officers are unable to handle the
situation the state will step in, main
tain order, and punish persons responsible
I for disorders. This was the program
1 ade public today in a signed statement
issued by Gov. Amnions.
The governor explained that the reason
ior maKing a iormai statement was the
misleading reports of his attitude that
have gained circulation in many of the
mining camps. Referring to his efforts
to prevent 'the strike and later to ar
range a settlement, he says that while
these epdeavors have been unsuccess
ful, "I shall insist that lawlessness be
punished no matter by whom com
mited " '
The governor in his statement says:
. Xo Weapons Permitted.
"All peace officers will arrest and
punish every person' not authorized by
law who is found carrying concealed
weapons. The courts will immediately
investigate, by grand jury if need be,
every act of violence and offenders
will bo prosecuted promptly and pun
ished, no matter who they may be. AH
parties are warned against incendiary
speeches calculated to Inspire riot.
Wherever saloons ate used as rendez
vous for lawlessness, they will be
closed.
State Will Intervene If Necessary.
"I expect the counties to control he
situation. Whenever they shall be un
able to do so, the state will intervene
and take any steps that appear to be
necessary to protect life and property,
prevent intimidation and abuse or all
kinds and restore and enforce order
and law. I have been unable to effect
a settlement between the contending
parties, but I shall insist that lawless
ness be punlshsd, no matter by whom
committed."
Union Men Are Gratified.
Statements Issued at union and oper-
I ators' headquarters today expressed
I gratification with the situation, the

state's determination to maintain or

WILL BE ACCEPTED
WASHINGTON, D. G, Sept. 25.
Postponement of the elections
in Mexico, withdrawal of Huer
ta as a candidate for the presidency and
submission to the terms proposed by
president Wilson, arc prophecies made
by Felix Martinez, of El Paso and Las
Vegas N. 31. Mr. Martinez is here to re
ceive his commission from the state de
partment as head of a commission to rep
resent this government and the Panama
exposition on a visit to South American
countries.
"If a fair untrammeled election
should be held in Mexico, an election
that would not force the voters to cast
their ballots at the point of bayonets,
the successful candidate, in my judg
ment, would be seated, and Mexico
would begin a season of peace," de
clared Mr. Martinez.
"I do not believe that the election
will be held a3 scheduled on October
26. but ultimately Gen. Huerta must
submit. I believe that the people of
Mexico generally approve the attitude
of the administration of the United
States.
"Thpre is no prospect of Immediate
peace in Mexico, but It will come later.
Until the time arrives for the scheduled
elections, we must mark time In this
country, but if the election Is post

move.'

appeared in a recent issue of the El Paso Herald. Herald men have
visited this community frequently enough to become infected with the
spirit of cooperation and progress which is so evident here. The deelopment

will recognize this, however, but those who do, are sure o a substantial reward.
