Benjamin R. Tillman, United 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- BENJAMIN R. TILLMAN. urday evening were aware that the famous representative of South Caroline was in the city.

When seen by a reporter, Senator Tillman was busily inspecting a Navajo rug, and making inquiries regarding its merits. He said: have just finished a lecturing tour through Colorado, Utah and other northwestern states, and am now seeking a little rest. Outside of that there is nothing unusual about my trip." "What are your views on the present negro question through the south?" was asked Senator Tillman. "They are a worthless and 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 they are forging forward, praying for equality and racial betterment. The negroes are restless, a sort of wandering Jew class." "Do you think that Booker T. Washington is doing the colored people any good in his industrial education scheme?" "He haut the right idea about the matter, needs white men to assist 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 to recognize the fact that he is subordinate to the white man, and remain so.

By that, I don't mean that we will deny the negro his civil rights. strenuously object to the negro seeking social or political equality with the whites, and we will continue to object as long as there a south- erner living," declared Tillman. In his famous speech before the senate some time ago, Senator Tillman said that he did not believe in lynching, but that if a white woman was mistreated by a negro, he believ- I ed that the negro should be hanged.

The total amount of the increase assessed the county residents and property holders by Assessor Grunsfeld amounted to $153,496.50. After accepting the estimates made by Mr.

P. Springer and Policarpio Armijo as members of the board, A. E.

Walter, clerk, and J. Crollott, as interpreter. County Surveyor Pitt Ross appeared before the board and referred his warrants for salaries for the past month, amounting to $295.23, which was accepted. The salaries go to employed in improving the Rio Grande. The report of Mr.

Ross on the condition 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 Ross 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 to the bridge on the 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 taken up and discussed by the board. The road surveyors were ordered to see that all residents bordered their land, as the waste water, damage to the road and injury to neighbors is too great under present conditions. Francisco Apodaca appeared before the board and stated that he sold 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 fence removed.

Surveyor Ross was instructed to investigate the matter. The complaint of Lorenzo Padilla, that he was 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.

The resignation of Timoteo Saiz as constable in precinct 1, was accepted and Jose Maldonado was appointed to fill the vacancy.

Prof. Julius Hurter, curator of the Academy of Science of St. Louis, who is in the southwest collecting specimens 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. C.

Hodgin, where he was a guest at luncheon. His Life Work. find it. Secured Lava Specimens. "I have been connected with the Academy of Science of 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 I 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 be learning something new. Procuring New Specimens. "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 send duplicate specimens to the academy. Eventually the academy will own my collection, too. Secured Rare Varieties Here. "It was not my original intention to stop off 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 we went south of the city afternoone Barelas bridge got thirty specimens of frogs, toads and snakes. We got three spade-foot toads which are very rare. The snakes were water snakes and the common garter snakes.

"The next time we visited the sand hills in this neighborhood and got three different species of bull lizards, some of them being fifteen inches long. We got a toad; I do not' know the name it commonly goes by hereabouts, but the Latin term is bufo cognatus. Besides this we got a snake that was new to me entirely. It is a kind of snake resembling a chicken snake, but I have not identifiled it yet. That toad, the bufo cognatus, we found in a pool of water in the sand hills--a rather odd place to "We also went over the lava beds and picked up a reto specimens.

This section of the country contains a great many varieties of reptiles and the specimens we got are the finest of their kind. Of course we picked up any number of little lizards SO common hereabouts, which are not chameleons, though they go by that name. I have recognized five species of these reptiles here. We have not found any poisonous reptiles, but. have not looked for them especially.

There are other places where these varieties can be found in greater abundance. How He Catches Them. "In catching snakes, lizards, frogs and the like, I 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.

"This is the gun," he said. "It was made twenty years ago and I don't believe they are manufactured any more. You see the cane is low. By twisting the handle it opens and leaves a place to insert a 22- caliber cartridge. By pulling the handle out an inch the cane-gun is cocked.

By pressing a button it discharges. This 18 a very handy weapon for me in my hunts for speci. mens. "I would rather lose a specimen 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. Dangerous Experiences. "Yes, I have had some dangerous I experiences in my time. Once 1 thought I would die of thirst in the Grand canyon of the Colorado. Water is scarce there and in wandering about looking for specimens I forgot about drink till I was a great distance from water.

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

Not 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 fear. The safest way to pick up a snakea rattler, copperhead or cotton snake, it does not matter which kindby the tail.

They cannot strike you when they are held by the tail. On the other hand, it is not always safe to grab a snake by the back of the neck. It is remarkable how a snake can turn its and bite. "Yet though I do fear snakes, always carry an antidote in case of accident. I am always prepared for the worst that can happen.

I must he very lucky, for one day a few years ago in Arizona I caught fiftyrattle snakes in one day and nine never even got a bite. Poison Antidote. "The best antidote I know of for snake poison of any kind is strychnine. Inject this into the blood in large doses; but first be sure you are bitten by a venomous reptile, or the poison will kill you. The venom of a snake is quick acting and paralyzes the heart.

Under this abnormal condition the injection of doses of large strychnine serve to stimulate the action of the heart. Any stimulant that quickens the heart is helpful when one has been bitten by ven'omous reptile. Sucking the wound is good also, but cauterizing is useless except in rare cases when the poison has not penetrated beneatn the surface flesh. The Wound should always be widened to allow the blood to flow freely; often the poison will flow off with the blood. Keeps Specimens Alive.

like to catch my specimens and when at I keep them alive as long as I have had home, copperheads live a whole year without eating anything whatever SO far as could learn. Very few reptiles will eat anything in captivity. In preserving specimens we now use a formaldyhide solution instead of alcohol. We find that this is more satisfactory in many ways. In shipping specimens I take a gallon tin can full of snakes and pour formaldyhide solution over them until ready to send.

Then I pour off the liquid and send the can by express, The specimens will keep long enough to reach their destination by this method and they will arrive in excellent condition. "From here I will go to the petrifled forests of Arizona and from there to Flagstaff and the San Francisco mountains. After that I will visit Phoenix and Tucson and other places. My reach for specimens this summer will be extended and will take almost all summer. For the most part I into the wilderness alone, camping go out, when necessary.

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. I caught the reptile and then I thought they would throw me out of the window." Professor Hurter will leave tonight for the petrified forest.
