ASSESSMENT MATTERS CONSIDERED DY BOARD At a meeting of the Bernalillo board of county commissioners in the court house this morning, the report or county Adsessor Grunsfeld was referred to the board and accepted but not before the board decided to increase the taxation against the A buquerque I5as, Light, Heat Power company making Its assessment $50,000. The total amount of the Increase assessed against the county residents and property holders by Assessor urunsfeld amounted to J153.4K6.DO.

After accepting the estimates made by Mr. Grunsfeld, the board an nounced that It would meet on Mon day, July 1, as a board of equalization to hear any complaints made by prop erty owners against assessments. The meeting of the commissioner? convened at 10:15 o'clock, with Al fred Grunsfeld as chairman; M. springer ana 1'ullcarplo Armllo as members of the board, A. E.

Walter, clerk, and J. Crollott, as interpreter county surveyor Pitt Itoss appear ed before the board and referred his warrants for salaries for the past month, amounting to 1295.23, which was accepted. The salaries go to men employed In improving the Iiio unanne. The report of Mr. Ross on the con dition of the bridge at Correlas, which was washed out last week showed that one bent piling and two spans were gone.

To repair the damage and replace the spans will cost about 200. Surveyor Koss was instructed to have the work done at once, and also to repair the river banks near the bridge. The matter of building an approach 10 me oricige on tne east side was then brought up. It will take about 4,000 yards of earth to make the required approach, and the board authorized Probate Clerk Walker and Surveyor Ross to advertise for bids to have the approach made. The matter of different residents on the Fourth street road irrigating their lands without being protected by borders was taken up and discussed by the board.

The road surveyors were ordered to see that all the residents bordered their land, as the waste water, damage to the road and in jury to neighbors is too great under present conditions. Francisco Apodaca appeared before the board and stated that he Bold some property near the stock yards recently, and -since the sale the new owner has placed a fence across the road. He prayed that the board have the fence removed. Surveyor Ross was instructed to investigate the matter. The complaint of Lorenzo Padllla that he waa assessed for goats which he did not own, was heard.

A motion to have the record stricken from the books was made and passed. The reports of T. A. Gurule, Justice or tne peace of the Fifth precinct and also of A. Pera, Justice of the peace of the Eleventh precinct, were placed on file.

The resignation of Tlmoteo Kaiz as constable in precinct 1. was ac cepted and Jose Maldonado was ap pointed to nil the vacancy. THEY JOURNEYED 10 ALBUQUERQUE 10 WED A pretty wedding took place In this city today at the parish home of Rev. Father Mandalari. C.

Senator From Carolina Talks of Negro Question In His Usual Style. Benjamin R. Tillman, t'nlted States senator from South Carolina, known from coast to coast as an exponent of the race question In the south, was In Albuquerque for forty minutes Saturday night, en route to the Grand canyon, after a lecturing tour through Colorado and Utah, which ended at Denver. While Senator Tillman Is recognized as a national figure, not more than ten of the people gathered about the Alvarado and the curio room Sat- HKXJA.MIX I. TILLMAN.

uruay evening were aware that the ramous representative of South Caro line was in the city. When seen by a reporter, Senator Tillman was bm- iy inspecting a -Navajo rug, and making inquiries regarding its merits. He said have Just finished a lecturing uiur mrougn Colorado, Utah and oiner northwestern states, and am now seeking a little rest. Outside of mar. mere is nothing unusual about my trip.

"What are your views on the nres eni negro question through the was asked Senator Tillman. "They are a worthless class." an.l his eyes flashed and teeth closed with a snap. "The negroes were formerly an efficient race, willing to work and mind their own business, and to recognize their places. Now thev are lorging forward, praying for eoualitv and racial betterment. The neeroes are restless, a sort of wandering Jew "Do you think that Rnoker T.

Washington is doing the colored people any good in his industrial education scheme?" "He has the right Idea about the matter, but needs white men to as sist him. The inevitable outcome will naturally be competition between white and black skilled and unskilled laborers. The only way in which the race question can be settled once and for all time Is to compel the negro to recognize the fact that he is subordin ate to the white man. and must re main so. Hy that, 1 don't mean that we will deny the negro his civil rights.

We strenuously object to the ne gro seeking social or political equality with the whites, and we will continue to object as long as there Is a south erner living." declared Tillman. In his famous speech before the senate some time ago. Senator Till man said that he did not believe In lynching, but that If a white woman was mistreated by a negro, he bellev ed that the negro should be hanged CEMENT BOUGHT FOR The secretary of the Interior has executed a contract with tbt Western States Portland Cement company, of Independence, for furnishing lo.ooo barrels of Portland cement, f. b. cars at Independence, for 11.65 per barrel.

Prof. Julius Hurler, curator of the Academy of Science of St. Louis, who Is in the southwest collecting specimens of reptiles, generously consented to tell something of his work and experience In his particular field of science for The Citizen readers when seen this noon at the home of Prof. E. Hodgln, where he was a guest at luncheon.

Jlis Life Work. "I have been connected with Academy of Science of St. Louis for fifteen years, collecting reptiles," said Professor Hurter. "Studying the life of these despised creatures is my life work; it is my hobby and 1 can not Imagine anything more fascinating. My work brings me in close communion with the beauties and wonders of nature; It takes me out into strange and little known places; it keeps me in the open air, and best of all.

It is continually teaching me something new. It seems to me that the greatest pleasure a man can have Is always to be learning something new. Procuring Xcw Simi'Dih'iih. "I like the study of reptiles and I am out this way to procure new specimens for my collection. I am on this trip primarily for my own private collection, but of course I Bend duplicate specimens to the academy.

Eventually the academy will own my collection, too. Socunxl Hare Varieties Here. "It was not my original Intention to stop oft at Albuquerque, but I have a friend here, Joe Siewart, an old scholar of mine, and he wished me to visit him. I am glad I did stop here, because we have found some Interesting specimens In this vicinity. Mr.

Siewart and I have been out several times. The first afternoon we went south of the city near the Rarelas bridge and got thirty specimens of frogs, toads and snakes. We got tnree spade-root toads which are very rare, ine snakes were water snake and the ccinmon garter snakes. "The next time we visited the sand hills in this neighborhood and got tnree uinerent species of bull lizard" some of them being fifteen inches long. We got a toad; I do not kno.v the name it commonly goes by here abouts, but the Latin term is bufo cognatus.

Resides this we got snake that was new to me entirely Jt is a Kind of snake resembling chicken snake, but 1 have not identi tied it yet. That toad, the bufo cog natus, we found in a pool of water in the sand hills a rather odd place to niui 11. Swuriil Iava Specimens. "We also went over to the lava beds and picked up a few specimens, This section of the country contains a great many varieties of reptiles and tne specimens we got are the finest of their kind, of course we picked up any numoer or little lizards so common hereabouts, which are not chameleons, though they go by that name. I have recognized five species or these reptiles here.

We have not round any poisonous reptiles, but have not looked for them especially mere are other places where these varieties can be found in greater aounuance. Jlmv He Ottrlics Tlicin. "In catching snakes, lizards. froKs ami me like, 1 use a net when possible, but a gun If necessary. My gun Is rather a curiosity.

I will show it to you. Professor Hurter went to the next room and returned with a cane in his hand. lhls is the gun, he said. "It was made twenty-five years ago and 1 don't believe they are manufactured uny more. You see the cane is nol low.

Hy twisting the handle It onens unu leaves a place to insert a zl caliber cartridge. By pulling th handle out an inch the cane-gun I cocked. Hy pressing a button It discharges. This is a very handy weapon lor me in my hunts for spec! mens. I would rather lose a soeclmen than spoil It.

For that reason I have cartridges loaded with very fine bird shot which seldom kill the reptile. it usually recovers from the wound. DangeroiiM les, I have hud some dangerous experiences in my time. Once thought I would die of thirst in the Uraiid canyon of the Colorado. Water Is scarce there and in wandering aooui looKlng Tor specimens I forgot about drink till I was a great distance from water.

Pi fine I got back 1 was almost crazy with thirst. "In all my long experience with reptiles of all kinds 1 have never been bitten by a poisonous snake. I once was bitten by a Clla monster and had no antidote with me at the time, either. The animal clung ti my hand with Its teeth and 1 had to pry him off with a stick. My arm swelled up to the fchuuldi-r and was very painful, but no serious injury resulted, strange to say.

Xot Afraid of Snakes. "There is not a snake that I know of that I would be afraid to pick up with my bare hands. It is nothing when you understand them and their ways. I have made a long study of these things and have nothing to fetr. The safest way to pick up a snake a rattler, copperhead or cotton snake, it does not matter which kind is by the tail.

They cannot strike you when they are helu ty the tail, on the other hand. It Is not always safv to grab a snake by the back of the neck. It is remarkable how a snake can turn its head and bite. 'Vet thoUKh I do not fear snakes. 1 alwa8 carry an antidote in case of accident.

I am always preoared for the worst that can happen. I inui-t Very lucky, fur one dav a few years ago in Arizona I cauKht flfty- nlne rattle snake in one day and never even gut a bite. Pol4n Antidote. 'The best antidote 1 know of for snake poison of any kind Is strychnine. Inject this Into the blood In large but first be ure you arc bitten by a venomous reptile, or the poison will kill you.

The venom of a snake a quick acting and paralyzes me mart. 1 tuler this abnormal con dition the Injection of U.rKe doses of strychnine Serve to stimulate the ac tion or tne heart. Any stimulant that quickens the heart is helpful whin one has been bit ten by a ven omous reptile. Sucking the wound is good also, but cauterizing is useless except in rare cases when the poison has not penetrated beneath the surface hVsh. The wound should always be widened to allow the blood to Mow-freely; often the poison will tluw vff with the blood.

KecM M'clinciiii Alive. "I like to catch my specimens alive and when at home i keep them alive as long as 1 can. I have had copperheads live a whole year without eating anything whatever so far as I could learn. Very few reptiles will eat anything in captivity. In preserving specimen we now use a for-maldyhlde solution Instead of alcohol.

We find that this Is more satisfactory In many ways. In ehlpping specimens I take a gallon tin tan of MEXICO snakes and pntir formaldvhlde nolu-I tlon over them until ready to send Then I pour off the li. mid" and send inn oy express. 1 lie specimens will keep long mouth in r.rh destination by this method and thev will arrive in excellent condition "From here I will go the petrl- o-o ii'htib 01 AMzuiia ami rrom there to Flagstaff nd the Kan Francisco mountains. After thit I win visit Phoenix nnd Tucson and other places.

My reach for specimens this summer will be extended and will take almost all summer. For the most part I go Into the wilderness alone, camping out when necessary. "I have had some amusing experiences with my specimens. Once a rattle snake of mine got out of Its box In the sleeping car and almost caused the lady passengers to Jump out of the windows. 1 caught the reptile and then I thought they would throw me out of the window." Professor Hurter will leave tonight for the petrified forest.
