Alderete, of the district courts of El Paso county, was acquitted by a jury in federal court Tuesday afternoon of the charge of violating the white slave traffic act.

Argument in the case began at 4 oclock and judge Maxey notified the attorneys that he would allow a half hour argument for each side during the afternoon and another hour allowed Tuesday morning.

Assistant district attorney S. Engelking opened for the state and was followed by T. J. Falvey for the defence. Alderete on the State.

The last witness tor the defence and in fact the last witness in the case was Ike Alderete, the defendant, who was noticeably nervous and frequently looked away from judge Maxey who looked intently at Ike while he was on the stand. Alderete refused to answer the pointed question made by district attorney Boynton, as to who was his registered at the hotel in Colorado Springs where, it was alleged, he registered as Alder and At first judge Maxey insisted that he must answer, but finally held that his refusal was sufficient inference for the jury. The government sought to show that Alderete purchased a railroad ticket to send Miss Jessie Hoover to Denver, there to live in violation of the white slave act. Alderete and Miss Hoover both admitted that Alderete had purchased the ticket but both contended, and their contention was undisputed, that Jessie Hoover's money, earned as a copyist and bookkeeper for Alderete, had been used to purchase the ticket. Explains Meeting: Miss Hoover.

Alderete, in explaining how he met Jessie Hoover said: came to my office about three years ago in search of employment there. 1 had none to givo her in the office but I did give her a job. She still has it. Her work consists in keeping the books for the keno house in Juarez and in making daily reports of the business of that establishment for the benefit of the owners and of the government in uarez. have no interest in the keno game, other than as manager at a salary of $35 per week to look after my interests.

I paid her $12 a week to start and later raised it to $15 per week. That is what she is getting now. She made and last year a little extra work copying letters. has been my custom to hold out a few dollars each week or each month from the pay of the girls that work for me and then give it to them either at Christmas or just before vacation. This is the reason that I had so much money left over for Miss Hoover.

I had saved it for her from her weekly wages. Took. Reports to lUss Room. Mexican government required that we make a report each morning at 8 oclock of the business done at the keno game the preceding night. I used to take the reports from the cashier to Miss room at midnight or a little before that, or else I would send some one else with them and she would copy them so they would be ready for the next morning.

While in L.os Angeles I decided to go to Denver and telegraphed Miss Hoover that I would be there. Then I went to Salt Ogden, Cheyenne and around to Denver. In Denver I called on Miss Hoover at the home of her mother, whom I also met.

Oct. by the battleship Connecticut, the flagship of rear admiral Hugo Osterhous, the great Atlantic fleet left New York today, was reviewed by president Taft on board the Mayflower and the great vessels passed out to sea.

More than 1,000,000 persons saw the gigantic line of warships steam from their anchorages down the Hudson and down the bay to the Atlantic. The departure of the great fleet brought to an end the greatest naval spectacle ever seen by this or any other American city and as the $250,000,000 worth of marine war machinery passed out to sea flags floated from the government buildings and from hundreds of public buildings along the Hudson. Riverside Drive and other streets offering a view of the Hudson and the tipper bay were crowded; Battery Park was a solid mass of people while the roofs of buildings overlooking the outward bound route of the fleet was jammed with spectators. The windows -i the upper floors of the sky scrapers were crowded. Revenue cutters cleared the harbor of small craft so that there would be no danger of collisions and bv 10 oclock the lower Hudson and Hudson bay were free from the usual tangle of marine traffic.

More than 200 official and unofficial guests were taken on board the naval yacht Dolphin. Secretary George von L. Meyer and his aides, however, went upon the presidential yacht Mayflower in order to take part in the formal presidential review of the fleet. The Mayflower flew neither the president's nor secretary flag as she took her position below the head of the line waiting for the battleship and their lesser companions to get under way.

President Taft and secretary Meyer stood upon the quarterdeck shading their eyes for the signal which was ta announce the arrival of the first squadron. Shortly after oclock the Connecticut appeared, her great funnels belching up clouds of black smoke which hid the spidery superstructure overhead. With Admiral flag at her peak, the big stately battleship rolled down the river with her sharp prow sending billows away on either side of her dun colored hull. Following with mathematical precision came the other ships of the line.

The Fibab club, of Las Oruces.

is in charge of the arrangements for the pilgrimage to El Paso, which will be led by 75 genuine Matachino indians under command of Col. Eugene Van Patton, paleface chief of the tribe. Through this committee an allegorical parade is being arranged, to occupy one complete division of the Os- Aple parade and to give, in a series of passing pictures, the legendary history of the beautiful Mesilla valley from the time it was first crossed by De Vaca in 1830 until the El Paso trade train visits there this week. Each period of the valley's interesting history from De day down through the ages of conquistadores. pioneer settlers, cattle war days and the modern civilization which has made Las Cruces and the Mesilla galley one of the most remarkable sections in the west will be portrayed.

In addition to thesa floats and the native indians, there will be a genuine chuck wagon, cowboys and cowgirls, and decorated automobiles. The valley- wili select a queen to preside over the Mesilla valley division, and the meeting between the valley queen and chief Os-Aple will be one of the features of the Jubilee. A voting contest is now in progress in the valley, and the most popular girl will be selected and crowned as queen. The Fibab club will attend the Jubilee in a body, and it is expected that the valley will send down 500 people to attend the celebration and participate in the Os-Aple parade. Orrin A.

Foster, editor of the Las Cruces Republican and one of the big boosters of the club, has written the legend of Allisem, which will be reproduced in the Las Cruces and Mesilla valley pageant. The people of Las Cruces have subscribed 5750 for the parade, and Las Cruces is coming to El Paso to show what the live little valley can do. Arrangements are being made by president Orndorff for the entertainment of the Las Cruces and Mesilla valley visitors during the Jubilee, and they will have a prominent part in all of the social functions during the week. Mr. Foster is coming to El Paso the first of next week to arrange for the parade and to complete all of the details for the Las Cruces and valley invasion.

JUAREZ IS TO HAVE TWO JUBILEE FLOATS Col. Juan Medina, of Juarez, has notified president Burt Orndorff, of the Os-Aple Jubilee that Juarez will have at least two floats in the Os-Aple parade and that the city will turn out strong for the parade.

The carnival will be located at the corner of Mills and Kansas streets at the head of the street fair. Programs are to be printed in Spanish for the Spanish speaking residents of Juarez and Paso and now 5000 are on the presses to be turned out in a few days.

The wouldbe murderer was John Schrank, of New York city, a man apparently demented on the subject of the third term. He was captured and locked up.

Unconscious of his wound. Col. Roosevelt proceeded to the auditorium, and when his condition was discovered. in spite of the protest of his physician, he made a stirring address on the subject of his attempted murder. Weak from loss of blood, at the conclusion of his speech he was taken to the emergency hopital, where, after an examination by physicians, the nature of his wound was ascertained.

It was not considered serious enough to compel a stay in Milwaukee, and at 12:50 a. m. he was taken aboard his special train on a slow run to Chicago. Col. Roosevelt had just descended from his room in the second story front of the hotel, where he had been receiving calls from friends and admirers, and had passed through a cheering throng in the main corridor, accompanied by a growing escort as he neared the door.

It was just as he was rising into the automobile, sup- norted by the grip he held on the frame, that the shot was firm'd. Col. Roosevelt gave no indication by movement that he felt the impact of the bullet, but there was a sound as though of a groan coming from his direction. A moment ifter the shot Col. Roosevelt put his hand on his overcoat, well up near the shoulder on the left side, and rubbed it slightly.

he sat down in the car. In the excitement and confusion that prevailed some one ordered the chauffeur to drive on. The machine moved out. The man who fired the shot was captured in a fraction of a second. Offers Resistance.

The wouldbe assassin was at once hurried out of tho crowd. He offered resistance, hut was helpless in the sturdy hands that grasped him. He was half carried as he was hurried through the corridor of the hotel into the dining room and thence into the kitchen, where he was put through a hurried interrogation by sergeant Mooney and the others present, but without eliciting a single statement. He declined time and again to give his name and finally was slipped out of the rear door of the hotel into the alley, where the police wagon had been summoned to receive him. Hundreds of persons followed the patrol wagon as it was driven at breakneck speed down the streets and across the Oneida street bridge.

Crowd Awaits For an hour or more a large crowd stood in Sycamore street, outside the hospital, awaiting the news of Col. condition. The statement of the attending physicians was taken out and read aloud. The crowd started a cheer, but it was suppressed for fear that the noise might annoy the nel. Reassured by the news, the people for the most part walked off.

He was told by McKinley in this dream that it was neit Czolgolz who murdered him, but Roosevelt.

He said McKinley in his dream told him that the blood was on Roosevelt's hands and that Roosevelt had killed him so that he might become president. Schrank said he was a person more deeply impressed by what he read in the newspapers than others, and that, after having this dream, he was more convinced than ever that he should free the country from the menace of ambition. On September 21 he removed to the White hotel, at Canal street, near the Bowery. He did this as his first step in a plan to kill Roosevelt. He went soon afterward to a gun store on Broadway and purchased a revolver.

BUYS BIG TRACT OF LAND Purchase Is Made of 150,000 Near Plainview, May Mean New Railroad. The Pearson syndicate, of which Dr. P. S. Pearson is the head, has purchased 150,000 acres of land in the Plainview district of Texas and has contracted for 20 driven wells to be sunk there at once in order that water may be had for irrigating the tract.

This land is that which vice president H. I. Miller and Dr. Bryant of the Pearson company visited recently and recommended to be purchased. With the purchase of the large tract and the possibilities of a townsite, the reporteei plans of the Pearson company to build a railroad from El Paso through the Panhandle to Plainview is revived.

If the Pearson company decides to erect a town on the tract purchased, it will probably build a railroad to connect that tract with El Paso and at the same time give the company an eastern connection for its Mexican lumber and lumber products.
