The Cloudcroft season is now half over, and half the people in
El Paso have failed to enjoy “El Paso’s own summer resort.” To

a. m., returning in the evening—in ample time for you tek get a car
home. Those who find it inconvenient to reach the Union Depot
by 7:30 can get the train at the Franklin Street Depot.
Your excursion ticket is good on the regular train this noon.

While they were still working in an
effort to restore the man, Mrs. Ger-
trude Brady, the wife of the dead man,

rived on the scene and frantically
demanded to go to Iter husband's side.
She was restrained and led away by
members of the crowd.
Inquest to Fig Blame.
After working with the man for fifty
minutes and the organs failing to
respond, the physicians gave op their
task as hopeless and called Justice 12,
H. Watson who examined tjio body
ami announced that he would hold an
Inquest to fix the blame for the acci-
dent. The body was taken to the un-
dertaking establishment of Peak &
Lyons at 508 Texas street where it

fact that only a month ago, Brady and
Miss Gertrude Prichard of Phoenix
were married ami a few days after
ward the couple came to 121 Paso and
sinbe that time had been living at the
Summit House. Mrs. Brady shortly
after the accident telegraphed her

IRRIGATION CONGRESS
Albuquerque .v,. El Pa,o Sat and Sun.
The Hindoos have a quaint marriage
custom. It ts that of enveloping the
bride In rags and passing her as a
bundle seven limes, from father to
uncle, under the body of the mare on
which the bridegroom, heading a pro-
cession of his male relatives, comes to
the marriage.

El Paso’s Accomplishments.

words. The people ot El Paso will
appreciate it, however, 1 am sure.
"1 am sure that I voice the senti-
ments of the El Paso delegation when
I say that I am more than pleased
with the results obtained at this con-
gress."
Happer and Klnne Pleased.
President J. A. Happer and Secreta-

Demand for Sombreros.
Spokane will miss the El I’aso del-
egation. The little Mexican hats dis-
tributed by the El Paso men as sou-
veulrs of the convention were the
most sought after “badge" given out
by any delegation attending the big
gathering Nearly 6,000 were given
away and ns many more could have
been placed had they been available,
judging from the demand.
El Paso's headquarters in the Hotel
Spokane were thronged early and
late while the convention was in ses-
sion. The perfect organization main-
tained by the El Paso delegation at all
times was a revelation to alj other
delegations. Thdre never was a time
when it was not represented not only
on the floor hut In every committee
and In its headquarters down town.
Couldn't Lose El Paso.
It was simply Impossible to lose E!
Paso at any point or place. The dele-
gation, accompanied by several mem-
bers of the New Mexican delegation,

Special to The Times.
Washington, l). C, Aug. 13,—The
Washington Times, lit a special dis-
patch from Beverly, Mass., written by
James Hay, Jr., who io said to be very
close lo the president, says:
"The president takes no stock in
the w idely published reports that. Sce-
nt;.!) of tho Interior Ballinger should
be forced from the cabinet.
' Thus far, Mr. Taft stands squarely
behind the secretary of the Interior
in his claim that tho policy of conser-
vation should be fnrti.c’.ed accofirng
t) lax and not by sued generous e r-
st ructions of statutes that courts may
lattr overthrow work in this manner.
Pinchct to Lose Head.
‘More and more the opinion Is
forming here that. Gifford pine hot, in
hia drastic criticisms of the methods
oi this administration, lias thrown
down the gauntlet to the Taft regime
in such a manner that his official head
will pay the penalty. It is a fact be-
yond question that the situation will
result in the dismissal of either Pin-
chot or Ballinger, and it is equally
a fact now that Mr. Taft contemplates
no dismissal of Ballinger.”

POLICE COMMISSIONERS
IN REGULAR SESSION
APPLICANTS FOR PLACES ARE
EXAMINED. ■*'
Wyatt Asks What Chief of Police Has
Done to Arrest Saloon Keepers
Who Violate Law.
The police commissioners met yes-
terday atfornoon in the city council
hall. Three members of the commis-
sion were present, J. M. Wyatt, Zack
White and Tim Lyons.
Applicants Are Heard.
At. the beginning of the meeting sev-
eral applicants for positions on the
police force were considered.
Detectives to Watch Saloons.
Chief of Police Jenkins who pre-
sided over the meeting, was asked
point blank by Mr. Wyatt if anything
had been done to apprehend the sa-
loon keepers that are reported to be
violating the law. Chief Jenkins an-
swered that the policeman on each
beat were instructed to watch the sa-
loons In their own district. He was
then asked If the detective force had
been assigned to watch the saloons.
Chief Jenkins answered "No.” “Then
asign at least one mon to that work,"
suggested Mr. Wyatt. Mr. White sug-
gested that the police and sheriff
might work together to beter advan-
tage and the sheriff could lift a little
of the work oft the department in
regard to saloon violators.
Several applications for vacations
were paced upon, among them an ap-
plication of Night Chief William Ten
Eyck for a thirty da£ fc»»4 of ab-
sence and M. Rico for a twenty-four
day leave of alrsenAe. Both were
granted. It was then announced that
after October 10, on account of the,
races aud fair, no policeman. would
be given a vacation. The rule al-
lowing only policemen who have serv-
ed a year, vacations, was upheld when'
it was brought up for discussion.
