and as a Consequence Other Ar-
rangements Will be Made Chief of
Police Suspended for Violating
the Rules in Regard to the
Prisoner
Mrs. Rich was arraigned before
Francisco Dominguez the judge of let-
ters at Juarez yesterday evening and
told that reason existed to create a
suspicion that she was responsible for
the death of her husband.
This was the result of the quiet in-
vestigation which has been going on
there for several days past and is the
procedure required by the Mexican
code which directs that within 72
hours after imprisonement the suspect
be brought before the judge and told
why he or she is held. The producer
Is in many respects similar to the pre-
liminary hearing in the United States
before a magistrate and simply begins
nie prosecution.
Mrs. Kich was asked to name her
lawyer and said she had thought of
selecting K. Alontes de Oca who was
present but had not then consulted
him fully. The lawyer said he was
ready to act then and consult his client
later and plead for her in court.
REPORTERS ADMITTED.
Through the courtesy of the secre
tary of the court a Herald representa

was conducted in Htnglisn by means of
Senor Quadra who acted as interpreter.
Prisoners in Mexico have the privi
lege of objecting to the judge before

that she had and also to being tried in
Juarez where she said she did not be-
lieve she could get justice on account
of prejudice against her.
All tins was taken down in writing
and she signed it. She will as a con-
sequence be tried before the president
of the Chihuahua tribunal wbo arriv-
ed last night which amounts to the
same as a change of venue.
After Mrs. Rich had been taken
back to her apartments a Herald re-
porter was permitted to hold a lengthy
private interview with her at her
window. There was not a guard in
sight and no one showed any disposi-
tion to interrupt or overhear the con-
versation and it is apparent that Mrs.
Rich has no cause to complain of harsh
treatment.

to avoid scandals or comments no one

came hysterical and created a dis

A MERRY WAR
New Mexico Agricultural College
Torn Bv Strife.
War of the more or less merry kind
is disturbing the learned precincts of
the .territorial Agricultural college at
Las Cruces. The institution is threat
ened with two presidents which if it is
realized will put Yale Harvard and
other universities of the effete east far
in the shadow.
Former President Jordan declares he
was elected fairly and squarely by the
board of regents which sat in regular
session as prescribed by law. The
board of regents reply with equal po-
sltlvenees that Prof. Frederick Sand-
ers of Virginia .is the president of the
college having been duly elected by
themselves as provided by the statutes
of the territory of New Mexico. This
Is the condition of things at the institu-
tion at Las Cruces.
If the gentlemen concerned were con-
tent to let matters rest as they are no-
body would care but they are not.
Prof. Jordan declares he will continue
to act as and perform the duties of
president of the college; that he will
demand his salary and if it is not forth
coming be will take the whole matter
Into the courts. With wonderiul quick-
ness the board of regents retort that
Mr. Jordan will not act as president of
any college tbey are regents of nor
will he draw a cent of salary and if be
wants to go to the court that is the
place he should go with his troubles.
Meanwhile Prof. Frederick Sanders
of Virginia Is in the territory ready
for business. He came down from
Santa Fe last night and proceeded to
Las Cruces on the midnight train. He
is slight and small in stature wears a
Van Dyke beard and spectacles which
magnify bis eyes to an alarming de-
gree. His voice is low and comes with
reluctance. His disposition is kind and
affable.
"I do not care to discuss the alleged
trouble at the college" said Prof. San-
ders. "I was officially notified of my
election to the college presidency and
came on to take up the work. That is
all."
Politics of the factional kind are said
to be responsible for the whole unpleas-
ant mess. If the matter is ever carried
into court some startling disclosures
concerning the administration of the
college will it is said be made. Albu-
querque Citizen.
