Kir - Change Alamogordo—Never!
Alamogordo street will still retain
tits old name. The petition of proper-
|ty owners along the street, asking that
the name be changed and that the
street become a part of the Boulevard,
Was denied. An Investigation has
iihown that the logical continuation of
the Boulevard through that section
could be along Tularosa street and
.. if any change were made. Alamo-
gordo street would be changed so as to
become a part of Wyoming street.
The Elite confectionery company
has petitioned the council for a reduc-
ion of taxes on building and fixtures,

nittee on taxation.
Finding that a clerical error had
en made, the petition of E. C. O'-

der addition, was granted. The reduc-
tion la from $1,600 to $300.

Urbina, on the recommendation of the
city attorney, has been denied- The
claim was for damages to an eighteen
room adobe house, at Ninth and St.-*
Vrain streets, which the claimants de-
clare was caused ^by the city.
Mrs. E. C. Hitchcock has asked that
the city street department grade the
alley back of 1107 North Stanton
street, as she has built a garage and
finds that the alley Is too rough to run
an automobile on. It has been found,
on investigation, that grading the al-
ley would require blasting and heavy
work. The alley will be put in shape,
but will not be graded.
A petition, asking that Noble street,
at the corner of Arizona, be repaired,
was presented by Thomas R. Francis.
The street at this point has been filled
in with paving stones, as the water af-
ter each rain does great damage. The
paving stones will be covered with ca-
leche.

suance of $50,000 of city securities, to
pay the indebtedness which is a prior

“Executive” Meeting Wednes-
day by Public School Board
Tl SPEND PUBLIC’S MQKEY
Newspaper Reporters are Barred and
Public is Uninformed of
Board’s Workings
The El Paso public school board 's
considering plans for a new school
building to be erected in East El Paso
and for a proposed extension to the
High School building. .
The board is preparing in this way
to expend a part of the $50,000 school
budget voted for buildings by the tax
payers of El Paso at the last bond
election in July.
At a meeting of the school board
Wednesday night, it is gieaned, these
matters were discussed. An El Paso
firm of architects was ordered to pre-
pare tentative plans for the new
school, the high school enlargement,
or both.
The architects decline to give out
any information as to the proposed
new buildings or Improvements, It
is not known if other architects have
been invited to submit plans and spe-
cifications. And school board offi-
cials themselves give out no informa-
tion to the public.
The meeting Wednesday night was
a secret meeting. For that reason
newspaper reporters, and likewise the
public, were not taken into the con-
fidence of the public's school direc-
tors. The press was not informed
that there would be a meeting, as is
the custom with the ''regular” ones,
nor advised that there had been a
meeting until yesterday morning, the
morning after.
At the last "regular" meeting, on
Nov. 13, the board went into executive
(secret) session. Newspaper repor-
ters were not permitted to hear the
discussion and to Impart to the tax-
payers the plans being considered (0
expend public school money. But it
was then Intimated that the new
school building and the high school
extension matters were taken up. an 1
plans for these were seen lying on
the table in the board meeting room
at the Mesa school.
N. R. Crozier, superintendent of
schools, said yesterday that the news-
papers were not notified of the meet-
ing Wednesday night as usual because
it was a "called” meeting. When
asked who decided whether a meet-
ing should be a "called” meeting or
a “regular" meeting, he said he sup-
posed th’e president decided that.
Mr- Winter Gels Frosty.
Broached on the subject, the presi-
dent of the board, W. H. Winter, said
that the newspapers might have been
represented had reporters been there.
He didn't know about the notification.
He said that he didn’t care whether
the newspapers liked it -or not, that

DEATH HOUSE,
AT RICHMOND Si
Associated Press Dispatch
Richmond, Va.. Nov. 23.—Taking a
pathetic leave of -his immediate fam-
ily, Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., tonight
made ready to take the final plunge
into the unknown. Tomorrow, be-
fore the sun is an hour high, he will
have paid the penalty demanded by
the law for the murder of his young
wife last July. There Is nothing to
indicate that Governor Mann will act
to stay the hand of justice.
For a few brief moments today
Beattie broke down. This was- when
he took leave of his father and broth-
er, Douglas. When the parting came,
the son laid his head on his father's
breast and sobbed convulsively. One
arm was flung across the father’s
shoulder, the other hand gripping that
of his brother.
Spartan Old Father.
But he recovered quickly. The for-
titude of the elder. Beattie had more
to do with the recovery than the
soothing offices of the Rev. Benjamin
Dennis, who has labored with the
doomed prisoner. With Spartan self-
control, the father kept his emotions
in check, although the tears raced
down his cheeks and his lips twitched
pathetically. No words were spoken,
but'the young wife-murderer must
have felt the stern repression of his
pa-cnt for his softs were strangled and
he straightened up. »
“Good bye,” he said, and turned
away. Neither father nor brother
trusted to reply, but made their way
from the penitentiary. When they en-
ter again it will be to claim the body
of their kinsman.
Sister and Aunts.
Hazel, the 18-y3ar-old sister of the
prisoner and his two aunts drove to
the state prison in a closed carriage
in the middle of the afternoon. They
were in the death chamber a trifle
more than an hour. When they
emerged Hazel was on the verge of
collapse while all three were violently
agitated, %ind the eyes of each were
red with weeping.
Their entrance and departure were
observed by a morbid crowd of sev-
eral hundred persons gathered to wit-
ness the rumored visit of Beulah Bin-
ford to the prison. The report prov-
ed to be untrue, the girl whose subtle
power over young Beattie is said to
have driven him to the killing of his
wife, having been discovered in New
York. *
Minister With Him.
Only one minister was with Beattie
today, the Rev. Mr. Dennis. Rev. John
J. Fix, the young man’s former pas-
tor, was so worn out by labors and
the emotional strain he has under-
gone, that he did not put in an ap-
pearance. He is saving all his ener-
gies for tomorrow dawn, when he
fully expects the condemned man to
confess, provided he is guilty.
The day was spent In prayer, save
for the time occupied by the farewells
of the family. Beattie is said to have
declared his complete conversion and
to have no fear that hts peace was
made with God. He told his spiritual
advisers that he faced the hereafter
with supreme confidence.
Sustained Nerve.
The sustained nerve of the con-
demned man is the wonderment and
admiration of his guards. Following
the pathetic farewells between him-
self and the members of bis family
In which he broke down completely,
he disclosed such a quick and com-
plete reversion to his placid demea-
nor that it. occasioned the utmost as-
tonishment. -When under the rules
of the prison, lights were ordered out
at 8 o’clock, Beattie showed every evi-
dence sst preparation to spend a quiet
and restful period before he Is sum-
moned to the death chair.
The prison authorities will insist
upon the family removing the body
within a few hours after it is laid
out In the mortuary room, which ad-
joins the death chamber. It was at
first believed the body might, be cm

Funeral Plans.
While the funeral plans, if any have
been made, have not yet been an-
nounced,' It la generally understood
that Beattie will rest In
lot in Maurey cemetery, south
Richmond, only a pace or two from
the grave of his wife. The burial
probably will be early in the morning
or by the wavering light of lanterns,
in order to escape the morbid crowds
that are certain to gather at the
grave.
Beattie will be taken from the death
watch shortly after 7 o'clock tomor-
row morning. The warden of the

“Toll the jury just what he said,
Mrs. Patterson." Attorney Hilton ad-
vised her. but she sat silent and look-
he was trying to do his duty and so
forth. He said he acted cnly as chair-
man of the meetings.
President Winter then denied that
the board considered the expenditure
of public funds In secret session. He
denied that reporters were ejected
from a session of the last "regular”
meeting when the improvement ex-
penditure was taken up. The repor-
ters were not ejected, as Mr. Winter
gays, but they were not allowed^ to
enter the meeting room, as Mr, Win-

Incidentally at Wednesday's meet-
ing, the board decided on a matter of
general interest, and which the
board cheerfully makes public. It
is that the mid-winter vacation in ail

of Dec. 19 and end Jan. 3. A full
