BEvERIDGe SENDS A TELEGRAM
cHIcAso swITcHMEn WILL NOT STRIKE

The proper reception of the senate
committee was the important subject
under consideration at the meeting
held in the Commercial club rooms
last night. The meeting was largely
attended, and the assembly showed an
enthusiastic interest in the prominent
part we are to take in entertaining the
distinguished guests. The popular
opinion was in favor of the club, non
partisan organization, having charge
of the program of entertainment.
Judge B. S. Baker made a motion
that committee of five headed by the
president of the club, be appointed by
the president, to have charge of all the
arrangements with full power to act
and appoint subcommittee.
The motion was sustained and Presi-
dent Marion appointed the following
gentlemen to serve on the committee:
Judge B. 8. Baker, Mayor c. F. Myers,
Messrs. F. A. Hubbell and M. w. Flour.
noy.
A program was proposed at the club
meeting, which, If carried out, would
be royal entertainment for the nota-
BILE visitors. 1t followed along the lines
that the senate committee be met at
the train by band escort and the
statehood citizens, who are much in
evidence. Then supper at the Alva-
RADIO, followed by meeting at the
Commercial club, including a banquet
and ball. A banquet at the Alyarado
to be the last but not the least feature
of entertainment.
Delegate Flynn as to the route mapped
lout and as to the plans of the commit
tee in New Mexico. 1t is thought they
will enter from the north. That the
party will not travel the southern
route and thereby have an opportunity
to see the fruitful Pecos valley is re-
| gretted.
| Governor Otero discussed the re-
ceiving of the statehood investigators
with Delegate Rodey and number of
other gentlemen at the Alvarado last
night. The governor expressed him
self strongly in favor of the senators
be given every inducement possible to
investigate as much of the resources
| of New Mexico as is in our power to do
so. A special train at the disposal of
the committee, by which they could
travel faster and see more of the terri
tory. was suggested by the governor,
and he offered to confer with the Santa
No. - tIaA A mil Af No
Mexicans should meet the senators at
Ration, and accompany them to Albu-
querque, visiting Las Vegas, Springer,
Dawson and Santa Fe on their way to
this city. Leaving here a trip to Ell
Paso, then to Alamogordo, Cloudcroft
and Captain, and Pecos valley should
not be neglected. Deming, Silver City
!, and several of the best mining camps
should be visited. The governor was
assured his plan was an excellent one,
but 1t was doubtful If it could be car
ried out, on account of the limited time
of the committee. Delegate B. S. Rodey
received reply from his telegram to-
day at noon, which is as follows:
Hon. B. S. Rodey, Albuquerque, N.
M: Yave not answered your telegram
TO me a. Washington because | desired
to consult with committee. After con
sultation, the committee desires to ex,
press its appreciation of the courtesy
of yourself and Governor Otero. The
committee, however, shall be so busy
that we request that no formalities, re
ceptions, entertainments or anything
else which will take up any of ouT
time, be prepared for us. We shall ar
rive at Las Vegas at 12:45 tomorrow
and Immediately proceed TO work. We
shall be glad to see you, Governor
Otero. and any other gentlemen of that
or any other point.

Senator Beyeridge and his party OF
distinguished gentlemen have not
learned that the people of New Mexico
have a natural ability of entertaining
which takes no extra time. However

in order and the senators will be roy

, train by the governor and If the sena
