ALBUQCERQUE. N. M.. March IS.
Colonel Roosevelt paid Ma respects by
nam to Senator Lorlmer of Illinois
vnd Governor Haskell of Oklahoma to
night. He denounced both as "unfit to
hold public office." Their election, be
said, was a disgrace to the communi
ties which elected them.
The denunciation was made In the
course of Colonel KooseTelfs address
to an audience which crowded the
opera-house and left hundreds stand
Ins; outside. In opening hla talk, the
Colonel declared that in Its failure to
arrant New Mexico statehood during
the last regular session of Congress,
the National Governor had committed
a breach of faith. Arlsona. he said,
might hare offered ground for ques
tion, although he favored Its admis
sion, but with New Mexico there was
no question.
Com! Laws Need Cood Cltlxens.
Turning to the duties which the citi
zens of New Mexico must take up
when the territory did become a state.
Colonel RKscvelt warned his bearers
that, while good laws are necessary,
good citizenship must back them up.
He sad that unfit men had been elect
ed to office by popular and represen
tative Tote. 1-uch a man remained un
fit for office, he said, -whether he la
uofi:. as Mr. Lortmrr Is unfit, who
was elected by the Legislature of Il
linois, or as Mr. Haskril Is unfit, who
was elected by popular vote."
The Colonel recommended a drastic
corrupt practices law for New Mexico
when It becomes a state. He also de
clared for direct election of United
Btates Fenatora. In this connection, be
aid. New Tork offered an object les
son. With direct election. "Somebody"
would have been elected tvnalor from
that state, he concluded.
He also declared that Justice toward
corporations must characterise all
dealings with combinations of capital
and after an explanation of bis Tlews
on this subject, devoted the rest of
a, long address to a plea for good
cltlsenshlp.
Family Is Reunited.

EVERY WOMAN TO
DON HAREM SKIRT
SCCH IS PREDICTION MADE BY
FASHIOX EXPERT.
.Mrs. Whitney Tells Dressmaker
Garment Will Have Great Vogue.
Paris Women HaTe Big; Feet.
CHICAGO. March IS. SpeclaL) "Eve
ry woman In this country will be wear
In soma varletr of the so-called Harem
or Pasha skirt within a very short time."
says Mrs. Belle Armstrong miner,
consulting fashion expert In Paris. She
has Just returned from France, and ad
dressed the Chicago Dressmakers Club
at It convention at the Palmer House.
True to her convictions, she wore a
bisected skirt of the new sort through
the streets of the city, and according to
her own statement It was so quiet and
inconspicuous that not one passerby even
noticed the new garment.
"Every dressmaker of note In Paris,
with the exception of one. Is making
some sort of a skirt that Is divided."
she said. "These garments are not be
ing made for the professionals, who are
anxious to be exploited on the stage or
elsewhere, but for well-dressed women
In all countries."
Mrs. Whitney spoke of the wide vogue
In Paris of the extremely short skirt
and she said, with a twinkle In her eye,
"It's not so very long ago that no Paris
house would mske any gowns without
trains. Sometimes they displayed a few
with the apology, these are for the
American trade.'
"The reason is very easy to find out.
French women have the homeliest feet
I ever saw In my life, and their shoes
look like violin cases. They discovered
that American shoes made the feet look
trim and small, and find It very con
venient to have their skirts made short
er. Now they are turning out skirts for
evening, opera and dinner wear all cut
extremely short. In that respect they
are outdoing the American women."
ROAD BILL SBIG MUDDLE
Six State Officials Admit Inability to
Meet Situation.
OLTMPIA. Wash, March 15. (Spe
cial.) Six state departments have
thrown up their hands and confessed
that for the time being- they are un
able to straighten out the highway
muddle.
The Attorney-General announces that
he does not want to consider even any
of the effects of the general road laws
until ho gets the commlsslonershlp so
that he will be able to tell who Is who;
the Auditor .Is hesitating about draw
lng warrants on any of the highway
funds, as the Legislature switched the
funds about; the State Treasurer rushes
to the Attorney-General for advice
every time any one presents a warrant
on the highway fund: the highway de
partment frankly admits Ita Inability
to get things straightened out; the
Board of Control Is undecided as to
where responsibility starts or ends, and
the State Bureau of Inspection Js labor
ing diligently to find out how much
money each, county has coming to It
under the bill which transfers the un
expended state road money back to the
counties through the permanent high
way fund.
The courts may be called upon to de
cide the exact status of the law, as the
state officers declare they cannot tell
anything about the proper disposition
of funds as the result of the deadlock
In the legislature when the lawmakers
adjourned.
FIREWORKS FIRM "BROKE'

RUSSIA EXPECTS
CHINA TO YIELD
Foreign Board Weak
but Tricky.
ULTIMATUM CAUSES CHAGRIN
Manchu Statesmen Try to
Conceal Imperative Tone.
METHODS VERY EVASIVE
Diplomats Say China Appeared to
Concede Russian Demands, but
Emboldened by Foreign
Comment, Denied Tbem.
I'EKIN. March IS. The Russian
legation here expects the Chinese gov
ernment to yield reluctantly, first of
fering to compromise, but finally ac
cepting In full the demands of the Rus
sian ultimatum.
The Chinese foreign board, chagrined
over the situation, is arguing that the
Russian note was not peremptory, but,
on the contrary, waa most friendly.
The capricious behavior of the for
eign board Indicates to lookers-on her
an Incapacity on the part of th gov
ernment to deal strongly with the situ
ation. The legation quarter appears to
consider that the legal aspects of the
case are more favorable to China, and
there seems to be no sympathy with the
Russian contention that Russian traders
should be exempt under the free-trade
clauses from even local taxation In
Chinese territory.
At the same time there is criticism
of China's diplomacy In that she seeks
to gain by trickery points which she
Is In no wise able to dispute with
arms.
When intimidated by the threat con.
talned in the original Russian note,
China replied apparently acquiescing: In
th demand that she keep more closely
to the treaty of 1S81 affecting Russian
consular and commercial privileges In
III province and In Mongolia
Russia thereupon etated that the re
ply was generally satisfactory, but
asked for more explicit declarations
In the meantime the Chinese govern
ment. enconra;w by comments in
foreign press, had grown bolder, and
Ita second note stated thst the Rus
sian charge were groundless In de
claring that Russian trader did not
enjoy the treaty right to trade freely
except In foreign ' goods; contested
other points and declined to permit th
establishment of th consulate which
Russia demands.
Russia's many grievances arouse the
suspicion her that she possibly Is
playing for time, and la also preparing
th world' opinion for an act of ag
gression when the snows have melted.

Visitors Have Definite Ideas of What

Every state in the Mississippi Valley
contributed to the band of colonists
that poured into both Portland passen
ger stations in a continuous procession
yesterday from the time the first train
arrived in the morning until the last
one entered last night.
Officials of the railroads and attaches
of the depots estimate that fully 2000
homeseekers and sightseers arrived in
Portland yesterday. More than 2500
are on the way, due to arrive today.
The dally number will increase through
the rest of this week and is expected to
remain over the 2500 mark for several
days. But the greatest Influx will be
during the last week of the low-fare
period, when 3000 dally arrivals are
looked for.
The remarkable rush to Oregon has
surprised even the officials of the rail
roads and of the commercial bodies
who advertised extensively to bring
Oregon to the attention of people in
the East. They estimate now that
more than 30,000 persons taking ad
vantage of the cut rates will visit Ore
gon In March and April. Of this num
ber fully two-thirds should remain and
become permanent residents. The
others may drift back East, having
come merely out of curiosity and the
desire to travel. -
Visitors Know What They Want.
One thing that impresses the ob

fact that there Is no hesitancy on th

WEDDING SEQUEL

GIRL HE RESCUED FROM POXX

John Dovr, of Barns, Wins Hand of
Milwaukee School Teacher Who
Owes Life to Him.
MILWAUKEE, Wis.. March 15. (Spe
cial.) The romantic sequel to a heroio
rescue of one child by another came to
day when Fred L. Dow, aged 23 years,
of Burns, Or., secured a license to wed
Etta Marie Hess, of South Milwaukee.
Dow formerly lived at South Milwau
kee, his family being farmers in the
town of Oak Creek before a manufac
turing city sprouted in what was once
a rich farming country.
South Milwaukee has a mill pond and
a grist mill of the old-fashioned sort,
and on this pond the young people of
the village are accustomed to skate in
Winter. Twelve years ago, when Miss
Hess was a girl of 12, she went skating
before the Ice was solid enough to bear
her weight. Dow was crossing the dam
on his way to school, when he saw the
girl break through the ice. Getting a
rope from the grist mill he tied one
end about his waist and the other to
a post, and swam out to the girl.
As he feared? his Btrength gave out
In the bitter cold water before he could
swim ashore, and he pulled his . way
through the water by his improvised
lifeline, saving the girl and himself.
Miss Hess is now a teacher in the
high school which Dow attended at the
time of the rescue, and her resignation
takes effect with the Easter vacation,
when the ceremony will be held.

recently by Arabs has been received
in a cablegram by the Boston Museum

say whether any other members of the
party were attacked.
Gardiner M. Lane, president of the

through Senator Henry Cabot Lodge,
that the State Department mah a
thorough investigation.
Mr. Decou was a graduate of the
University of Michigan. At one time
he was connected with the American
School of Classical Studies, in Athens,
and later was private secretary to
James Loeb in Munich.

The rock la peridotlte. of the variety

Because of the small size of the dia

Description given by Mrs. Nelson
of man wbo killed Barbara Holz
man. Height, six feet.
Wore neutral-colored mustache.
Had sunken face, as If suffering
from tuberculosis.
About 50 years old.
Wore gray overcoat and black,
soft hat.
In a bed In a rooming-house at Rus
sell street and Mississippi , avenue the
tortured little body of Barbara Holz
man, 5 years old, was found yesterday
morning by Mrs. Bertha Nelson, pro
prietor of the place, and the police are
looking for an elderly man who en
gaged the room where the body waa
found, at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning-,
and was not seen afterward. He mur
dered the child shortly, after 2:30
o'clock Tuesday afternoon and disap
peared. An autopsy yesterday dis
closed the motive of the murder.
. , Child Never Returns.
, Barbara Holzman left her home at
T63 Borthwick street at 2 o'clock .Tues
day afternoon to go to a nearby mar
ket and buy 15 cents worth of meat.
She never returned to her home and
when a reasonable time had elapsed,
the alarm was sounded and a search
was begun. Inquiries were made at
every place where it was thought that
she might have gone, but without
throwing any light on her disappear
ance. The police and the newspaper
offices were appealed to and the pa
rents spent the whole night in making
fruitless efforts to find their daughter.
Not until yesterday afternoon, when
the body was in the custody of the
Coroner, did they learn her fate.
, Body Found in Room.
Mrs. Bertha Nelson, who has con
ducted a lodging-house at Russell street
and Mississippi avenue for the past
five years, went into room No. 10 at
10 o'clock to make up the bed, and
found that it was occupied. She said
yesterday that she first thought some
mischievous person had put a doll in
the bed to frighten her. The bedding
was drawn up about the chin. Going
closer, she found that the thing which
had startled her was the body of a
dead child. Without disturbing any
thing, she notified the Coroner, who at
once took charge.
Mrs. Nelson said that the room had
been rented to a stranger, about 10
o'clock the morning before. She had
no conversation with him except about
the room. She asked him 50 cents
for a night's lodging and he in turn
asked whether, providing he rented it
for a week, his money would be re
turned if he left sooner. He closed by
paying "50 cents for the one night.
Description Is Weak.
This was the only time that Mrs.
Nelson saw him, and her description
is weak in. many details. She heard
him enter again shortly after 1 o'clock
and thought that he dropped a bundle,
but no other sound came through the
partition. The bed showed yesterday
that it had not been occupied except
By the body of the child.
Evidence accumulated yesterday by
Detectives Day and Hyde make it ap
pear that the stranger had rented the
room with no relation to the assault
upon Barbara Holzman, though be
might have had some general project
of the kind in his mind.
The child was a regular attendant at
a kindergarten conducted by Mrs. Gil
bert and Mrs. Bowman, at Russell and
Delay streets, but she ate no break
fast Tuesday morning and her mother
kept her at home. She said at about
11 o'clock she wanted some cookies, and
was allowed to go to a bakery on Rus
sell street to buy them. She was sent
at 2:10 to a neighboring meat market
on Mississippi avenue to buy meat but
never reached there. The 15 cents given
her for the purchase was found by the
Coroner in her stocking.
- Neighbor Sees Barbara.
Mrs. Lydia Matthiesen, living at Mor
ris street and Mississippi avenue, saw
the child, pass her house between 2
and 2:30 o'clock, walking slowly and'
with no Indication that anything was
wrong. This fact reduces to a narrow
radius .of a few blocks, the space in
which the man found and enticed his
victim, yet a thorough combing of the
vicinity by the detectives failed to dis
close anyone who had seen a man and
a child. The officers are Intensely
puzzled to account for his method of
