Eager for Statehood.

Our experiences in New Mexico said
Mr.. Thomas Ship, secretary of the terri

southwest. to a representative of The Star
today. were quite amusing. While The
conditions are not materially different from
those of northern Minnesota and some parts
of Wisconsin, it was something of sur
prise to the committee to find itself in a
foreign country, as far as the language
was concerned We found many of the
justices of the peace unable to speak Eng
iish, and great many of the records were
kept II Spanish. In many localities we had
to take an interpreter along to do our talk
ing for us. We had to talk to the director
of the census there through an Interpreter.
His name is Pedro Sanchez, which is Spaii-
ish beyond doubt The Prince of Sian
was a rival attraction, but was not in it
with the committee. We had to side-step
brass bands reception committees and pro-
eessions all the time. The people are very
enthusiastic in their desire for statehood
and the committee could have had royal
reception IL 1t had been able to spare the
time. Speaking Of the Spanish justices, one
of the senators asked one what he knew
about the Constitution. He said he ldedn't
know what that was. When 1t was sex-
planned to him he said 1t was hardly faIe
to question him on that subject off-hand
that If the committee had given him tina
and notice he would have studied up on. the
