STATEHOOD BILL
IS ABANDONED
Ho Legislation at Present
Session oi Congress.
SENATORS MAKE CHARGES
•tatements Read in Commltt** by
Messrs. Nelson and Beveridge Alleg
ing Corruption, Jury Bribing and
Various Other Offenses Against
leaders of "Gang in Control of New
Mexican Political"
Washington, March 1.—Tim will
be no statehood legislation for New
Mexico and Arizona at the present
session of congress. At a meeting ot
the senate committee on territories
all members, regardless ot party, iu a
sensational scene, abandoned consid
eration of the house bill.
The members of the committee left
the room without any one suggesting
further meetings for its consideration.
This remarkable action occurred at
the conclusion of the reading of state
ments presented by Senators Nelson
and Beveridge charging corruption,
Jury bribing and various other of
fenses against certain officials and
leaders of what was termed the "gang
which is In control of political affairs
in New Mexico."
Among the statements read was a
telegram from J. J. Hagerman, for
mer governor of New Mexico, reflect
ing on the character of the people
who are in control of political affairs
of that territory and declaring that
these men expect to continue their
control alter the territory becomes a

counting the difficulties experienced
by Ormsby McHarg, who went to New
Mexico in 1907 as an agent of the de
partment of justice to prosecute land
rauds. This statement declares that
Mr. McHarg was hampered in his
work by Governor Curry and his at
torney general, Judge A. B. Fall.
Among other confidential informa
tion produced by various senators
were a number of Indictments re
turned against the territorial officials
and there wad read also a letter from
W. F. Wilcox, a former newspaper
man of Santa Fe, who asserted that
his life was threatened and he be
lieves the threat would have been car
ried cut had he not left the territory.
It is regarded as extremely likely
that the committee on territories will
decide to conduct an investigation in
New Mexico before acting on an ad
mission bill. Senator Beveridge in
troduced a resolution which author
izes '.he committee to conduct hear
ings if thought to be advisable.
WASHINGTON'S CASE StlMUl?
Roosevelt Calis Attention to Rejoicing
Over His Retirement.
Washington, March 1.—Pointing out
the parallel between the attitude of
certain persons in 1797 toward the
retirement of Washington and the re
joicing now in certain quarters that
he is about to quit the White House
President Roosevelt, after the cabinet
meeting, called the attention of re
porters to an article which appeared
in the Aurora of Philadelphia March
6, 1797. The Aurora was edited by
Philip Freneau, a satellite of .Jeffer
soi and had long been violent in its
antagonism, first to Hamilton, but
later to Washington as well.
The Aurora's expression of rejoic
ing at the retirement of Washington
presented a parallel close to some of
the expressions now being voiced by
the critics of President Roosevelt,

PATRICK STILL FIGHTS
TO SECURE FREEDOM
Lawyer Convicted of Murder in
Court Today.
M«w York, March 1.—Before the
appellate division of the supreim
oourt today appeared Albert T. Pat
rick, the lawyer convicted of the mur
der by poison of Millionaire William
Marsh Rice, on a writ of habeas cor
pus. His appearance before the state
court is a continuation of his fight lor
liberty, which failed in the United
States supreme court.
Patrick is seeking freedom on the
ground that the commutation of his
death sentence to life imprisonment
by the late Governor Higgins was not
warranted in that it was a change to
a punishment not provided by statute
for the crime of which he was con
victed and that the change was to the
prreoner's disadvantage in that it was
an imposition of a different and great
er punishment. His petition says that
"life imprisonment is not only entire
ly different from but is in fact greater
and more horrible to endure than tin
death penalty, alone prescribed by
gem-ral law for murder, first degree.'
Patrick asserts that his conviction
was procured by fraud and collusion
of "divers persons of vast influence,
power and wealth." His petition for
freedom is opposed by the city, coun
ty and state authorities.

be­
tween Austria-Hungary and Servia is
viewed much niore hopefully at t'
foreign office. Inasmuch as Russia
has agreed to participate in a joint
note at Belgrade it is believed Servia
will see she is completely Isolated and
without any prospect of foreign assist
ance should she go to war. It was
said at the foreign office that the 1
lective note to Belgrade, the wording
of which is still under consideration
will be mild In form for the purpose
of sparing Servian sensibilities, but
will leave no doubt that Servia must
relinquish the idea of territorial ex
pansion. It is assumed here that Sot
via will accept this advice, particu
larly as Austria-Hungary has declared
her willingness to make trade eono-s
sions to compensate for the abandon
ment of the claim for a portion of
Bosnia and Herzegovina.
