A WAR OFFICER IS COMING
A matter of great importance to this
city will be (he visit here shortly of
an officer of high rank Bent out by the
war department to investigate the sub-
ject of enlarging Fort Bliss to a
twelve company post. The enlarga-
ment. of tbe post has been a matter of
much solicitation on the part of the
citizens of this place ever since they
donated to the government 1.2G5 acres
on thd mesa northeast of the city with
the understanding that a twelve com-
pany post would be established on the
site. The individual who has done
more to keep fbis matter before the
attention of the’ authorities at Wash-
ington than any other one person In
El Paso Is Mayor C. R. Morehead who
has never let an opportunity pass to
press the matter on the war depart-
ment and to whose efforts along this
line Is largely due the coming visit of
the inspector from headquarters:
Two years ago when Senator Cul-
berson visited El Paso Mayor More-
head got up a party of prominent citi-
zens and took the senator out to Fort
Bliss in order that he might consult
with the officer in command and per-
sonally look over the situation so
that he might act intelligently In
lending his official position to secur-
ing Hie enlargement of the post. Later
on when Congressman Smith was
here Mayor Morehead took the matter
np with him, famishing lilm with all
the necessary information relative to
El Paso's claims and ending by also
taking him out to Fort Bliss. As a
result Congressman Smith sometime
afterwards with the co-operation of
Senators Culberson and Bailey, intro-
duced a'bill In congress asking for a
1600,000 appropriation for tbe pur-
pose of enlarging' the post. The ob-
stacles that Congressman Smith's bill
encountered in congress have been re-
counted in the local press. The com-
mittee to whom the Util was referred
in some manner became charged with
a lot of false Information anent the
situation at Fort Bliss and an adverse
report was the result. Among the
objections to Fort Bliss as a suitable
place for a large army post contained
in the report was a claim that the cli-
mate here was abominable and that
there was an Insufficient water sup-
ply at' tha site of the present post.
Mayor Morehead, seeing the necessity
of correcting these false Impressions
about Fort Bliss, furnished Congress-
man Smith with data relative to cli-
matic conditions and also sent him
reports from Major .Logan and Mr.
McLeese. two men who knew more
about the water situation on the mesa
than any other persons around here
and both of whom have sunk a great
many wells in the vicinity of Fort
Bliss, with excellent results both as to
quality and quantity. Armed with this
testimony Congressman Smith again
took the hill up and the fact that a
government Inspector will shortly be
sent here to make an investigation for
report upon the subject of enlarging
the post shows that the former has ac-
complished results which may bear
l'ruit.

Alamogordo, N. M., Dec. 3.—A very
important and unique case is on trial
In the federal court and it is probably
the first of its kind in New Mexico.
Four men, who were union strikers
during the strike last February on the
El Paso-Northeastern system, are
charged with conspiring in restraint
of trade and commerce under the
Sherman act. The defendants as-
saulted two non-union boiler makers
at Torrance, who had Wen sent there
by the railroad company to repair a
water tank used for watering engines
a&ed in the commerce of tbe territory.
The Indictment charges a conspiracy
to prevent the railroad from engaging
In commerce and trade and the as-
sault as an overt act in pursuance of
the conspiracy to prevent the railroad
from so engaging. Judge Byron Sherry
appeared for the defendants and filed
a demurrer to the indictment on the!
ground that the same does not charge
a crime under the laws of the United
States. Hon. W. B. Childress, United
States attorney, appeared for the
United States. After an elaborate ar-
gument Judge E. A. Mann overruled
the demurrer on the ground that the
Indictment charged a conspiracy on
the part of the defendants to restrain
and prevent trade and commerce un-
der the Sherman act and a conspiracy
to intimidate and prevent citizens of
the United States from enjoying the
privileges to .which they are entitled.
At a late hour tonight the argument
was conceded and the case went to
th^ jury.
The special train bearing the rail- j
road commissioners passed through
here at 1:30 today. A-stop was made
here in order to get acquainted with
