TERRITORIES TIRED
OF REPRESENTATION
Delegate Rodey, of New
Mexico, May Resign.
Declares Denial CT Statehood a Breach
of Faith-Talks of Holding
State Election.

An almost if not quite unprecedented
step has been proposed by Delegate Rodey
of New Mexico, in case the Senate does
not PASS the omnibus bill admitting the
Territories Of New Mexico. Oklahoma, and
Arizona at this session. Mr.. Rodey has
approached his colleagues from the Ter
ritories, Messrs. Flynn OF Oklahoma and
Smith of Arizona. and urged them to join
with him in resigning from Congress in
case the bill fails. MIR. Rodey represent
ed to his colleagues that the failure of
the Senate to rass this bill would be a
clear violation Of the plank in the Repub
lican platform indorsing statehood for
these Territories.
Object to M. Rodey's Plan.
Delegate Smith, who is a Democrat.
contended that he had nothing to do with
the sins OF omission Of the Republican
party. much as he regretted them, but
that his party had voted for the bill
unanimously in the House, and is pre-
pared TO do so in the Senate, and conse-
quently he saw nothing to be gained by
resigning. Mr.. Flynn also objected TO
leaving Congress at this session in the
way proposed.
The promise of the Senate Committee
on Territories that the bill shall be taken
up at the short session is regarded by the
people of the Territories as merely a
method of pos tponing action until action
is impossible, and they argue that with
the Senate eXpending weeks and months
in discussing measures relating TO our
foreign possessions, abundance of time
could easily be found to investigate the
claims OF one and a quarter million citi-
zens of the United States residing in the
Territories.
Hopes Long Deferred.
Mr. Rodey said with much vehemence
yesterday that the present is the forty
sixth bill offered in twenty different
Congresses for the admission of New
Mexico to the Union. The bills passed
one branch Of Congress or the other on
eighteen occasions. and both Houses
once, but failed in conference. The peo-
pie of the Territories, he said. are sick
and tired Of the way they are being
treated.
Mr. Rodey states that in the event of
the failure of the present bill he will
advise with the people of New Mexico as
to holding a constitutional convention
this summer and electing full set of
State officers and a member OF Congress
anyway, trusting to Congress to recog-
nize the validity of the act, as 1t has done
in several other instances, by the passage
of an enabling act. He is waiting to see
the fate of the bill now pending in the
Senate. and may resign his seat regard

SENATE MAY ALTER PLAN
FOR UNION STATION Site
Disposed to Prefer Location
on Massachusetts, Avenue.
Would Probably Concede to House the
Change to North Capitol and c
Streets If Imperative.

The probability that the House will
amend the union railway station bill
by fixing the site on Street. near the
present Baltimore and Ohio station.
makes the attitude of the Senate in the
matter one of extreme Importance to
those interested in the erection OF the
station.
The general sentiment in the District
Committee seems to be insistent on the
Massachusetts Avenue site. if it is pos
sible to secure 1t. but it is not unlikely
that the C Street location would be ac-
project fail.
Would Not Allow Plan to Die.
member of the committee said yes
terday:
'If the House chooses the C Street
location the Senate will appoint con-
ferees. 1t will not be disposed to drop
the House proposition as out Of the
question and as killing the project en-
tirely."
The railway engineers have continued
to work on the problem of reducing the
necessary elevation of grade at the
Massachusetts Avenue site. 1t was real
lied by the railway people and by the
District Committee that the chief diff
Guilty with this site was the elevation OF
thirty feet proposed in the first plan.
This extreme elevation would have
made it necessary to rearrange the
grades of all the streets in the vi
cinity radically. and there was much
objection to this.
When the bill goes into conference
the Senate conferees will be able to
promise that If the Massachusetts, Ave-
nue. site is chosen this difficulty will
have been eliminated very largely. The
necessary elevation has been reduced
to about fifteen feet, or half the first
plan.
This will ALLOW of the elimination of
all change in street levels at point
much nearer to the station.
With this improvement the friends o,
the Senate site are most hopeful that
they will be able to persuade the House
OF its superiority to the present Balti-
more and Ohio location.
Another possible amendment to the
Senate bill may be to dispense with the
great plaza In front OF the railway sta
tion for the present. This would cut
off one of the chief items of expense
in the bill.

CAPT. CROZIER NOW
CHIEF OF ORDINANCE
Confirmed With the Rank of
Brigadier General.
Favorable Action Taken in Executive
Session by Vote of
"a to IL.

The nomination of Capt. William
Crozier to be chief of ordnance, with
the rank of brigadier general, was con-
frmed by the Senate yesterday in ex-
ecutive session, by vote Of A to II.
The nomination has been before the
Senate since the beginning OF the ses-
sion in December, and the Committee on
Military Affairs some two months ago
made an adverse report on it.
Objection Removed.
Since then. however. the principal OBJ
lection to his confirmation has been
removed by Secretary Root relieving
General Crozier from membership on
the board of ordnance and fortifica-
tions. That board passes on the adop-
tion of new ordnance devices, and it
vas claimed that General Crozier, be-
ing an inventor of such devices. was
not eligible to pass on those of others.

TIMBER DAMAGED
BY INSECTS


Washington, D. c., Nov. IA, 1902.
DIR. A. D. Hopkins has just re-
turned from an extended trip to
Arizona, southern California, north
ern Idaho, the Puget Sound country,
and the Black bills, where he
made investigations of the damage
done timber by insect pests. In the
Black Hills about 600 million board
feet of Yellow Pine has been killed
by the pine destroying beetle. DR..
Hopkins recently returned report
on the best methods of lessening the
damage, in which he recommended
to the Department of the Interior
that all live trees infested with
beetles should be cut in the winter
and their barks removed, a process
which kills the insects. This re-
commendation has been adopted.
DR.. Hopkins is in charge of forest
insect investigation of the Division
of Entomology, U. S. Department
of Agriculture cooperating With the
Bureau of Forestry.

PLOT AGAINST PRESIDENT.

New YORK, Nov. 18.-Mrs. Lena
Dozhedner, who says that until she
became a member of the First
Methodist Episcopal Church at
Hoboken two years ago, was as
sociated with an anarchist society
of that place, and whose mental
balance is questioned, is reported
to have related TO the Mothers Club
and the pastor OF her church a
story of alleged anarchist plottings
against the life of President Roose-
velt. According to Mrs. Dozheimer
there has been in the last fourteen
months three persons assign ed to
the task of removing" the Pres
ident. One Of these a Frenchman
named Mellow, she says, she per-
susded him to return to Paris,
where he was killed by street
car. Next, according to Mrs. Doz-
heimer, the assissin's task was as
signed to a man named Mueller,
living in Avenue B, this city, who
a few days later died OF poison,
self administered. The last Of the
three designated for the murderous
work, Mrs. Dozheimer alleges, was
a Mrs. Schroeder of Harlem, who
also ended her life by means of
poison.

The Spirit 9f Memorial Day.

Memorial Day thoughts are inevita-
bly, sad. They reflect the sorrows of
war, the bitterness of defeat, and the
pain of costly glory. Yet they betoken
new national life, brighter, better,
sweeter than the old, life filed with
wholesome possibilities replacing dis
NAL forebodings. Thus the sadness Of
the occasion is tempered by the rehec-
tlon that the great sacrifice was for
the good of all, and the flowers strewn
over the graves Of those who fell in
defense Of the republic are tokens Of
the higher spirit of citizenship and fell
lowship which has regenerated the
people.

Grating the great sea-graves does not
appall them. When Memorial Day
comes around the children of the
