ANXIOUS FOR AN ENDING

Scranton, Nov. 15.-The coal strike
commission resumed its sessions today
After a few preliminaries. President
Mitchell, who was on the stand all day
yesterday, again went into the witness
box and the cross examination by Da-
vid Wilcox. general counsel of the
Delaware and Hudson Company, con-
tinued. Some of the attorneys connec-
ted with the case are Of the opinion
that some arrangements will have to
be agreed to expedite the proceedings.
Each side is anxious for a speedy end
ing of hearings, but this will be impos-
sible If the present plans of the con-
tending parties are carried out. The
miners have a large number of wit
nesses to be heard and the attorneys
for each of the local companies are
anxious to cross examine them. After
the miners have closed their case the
companies will also present long line
of persons to testify and it is the inten-
tion of the lawyers on the miners side
to cross examine the witnesses for the
companies.

THE REPUBLICAN
TELLS THE TRUTH
The Visiting Senators Can Form no
Correct Opinion Of New Mezi-
co.'s Resources By a
Hasty Visit.

Says the Denver Republican in an
editorial yesterday morning
Senator Beveridge, chairman of the
senate committee on territories, and sew
eral other members of that committee
are now on visit to New Mexico and
the other territories to inquire into their
fitness for statehood
This visit gives the inhabitants Of the
territories in question an opportunity to
present their claims upon congress. and
we hope it will be done with such con-
vincing clearness and force that Sem
ator Beveridge and his associates upon
the committee will return to their homes
determined to make a favorable report
upon the admission bill now pending in
the senate. This bill has passed the
house, and if it passes the senate this
winter Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arl-
zona will soon become members of the
union.
The facts leave no room to question
that the three territories named ought
to be admitted; but there is danger that
the visiting senators will be more i'm
pressed by the outward appearance of
the country they traverse than by the
facts that are revealed only upon crit
ical examination. The barren land
scape, plains stretching for miles with
little sign Of vegetation, and bleak
mountains giving no outward indication
of hidden stores of mineral wealth, may
not present an inviting prospect to
strangers. But the men who live in the
southwest are intelligent as well as
brave and venturesome, and the fact
that they are convinced Of the great fu-
ture in store for the part OF the arid
region in question should stimulate all
visitors to diligent inquiry.
Denver rivals indianapolis in size, and
beauty, and wealth, and the growth of
Colorado during the last 26 years has
been wonderful. The Denver and the
Colorado of today are in large measure
the fruit of statehood. New Mexico and
Arizona need but the quickening touch
of self government to make them great
and prosperous commonwealth and
worthy members of the American union.

THE STORY TOLD

Special Correspondence New Mexican.
Las Vegas, Nov. 14.-The testimony
and arguments in the trial of the Fort
Sumner postoffice robbers We're compile
| ted today, John Smith, one Of the rob-
bers who has pleaded guilty. said that
Potter was the man who did the shoot
ing and killed Beaubien. Potter is still
at large. George Massagee, another of
the robbers, said he was one of the
party that committed the robbery and
he met the others at Moore's ranch.
The next morning they camped about
eight miles northwest of Tucumcari.
Two men from posse were after them
and they exchanged a few shots. He
claims he did not know they were to
go to Fort Sumner until about 20 miles
from there and then he was forced to
go by Hawkins, the leader of the gang.
According to his story, a consultation
was held out on the prairie, and the
men We're lined up with Hawkins and
Potter in the lead, Cook and Smith
next, Neil and Isbel next and he
brought up the rear 1t was in this or
der they were to enter the store and
he was to remain outside on guard and
to hold the horses. Tt was agreed that
the first man to make break should
be shot at once. While they We're con-
sulting, Hawkins set the grass on fire
to prevent anyone from surprising
them from the rear. When they reach
ed the store they entered as agreed
upon, Hawkins and Potter giving the
orders to those inside to throw up their
hands One man was little slow, in
obeying and Hawkins hit him over che
head with the gun, cutting a deep cash.
1t was only moment or so after they
entered the store that he heard the shot
fired. This was the shot that killed
Beaubien. Massage said he remained
outside and did not enter for an hour
when he went in to get some corn and
help carry out the clothing which was
taken. When they got ready to leave,
Hawkins ordered them to get on their
horses and bid the crowd "Adios" when
they all rode calmly off. They stopped
at an adobe house about IL miles from
Fort Sumner where a division of loot
was made, each man getting about $11.
The clothing was also divided and then
the gang broke up, Hawkins leaving
first by himself and then Massagee and
Potter. Massagee, who had traded
horses with some man, was captured
by the Indians from whom the horse
had been stolen and was taken first to
the Mescalero Indian agency and then
to Alamogordo. Cook, Neil and Smith
were captured in Arizona.
AS soon as Massagee had finished the
argument by the district attorney was
commenced and finished by noon. An
hour was given to W. B. Bunker for
defense and late this afternoon the
case was given to the Jury.

DEFlED THE COURT.
Aldermen Of Denver Passed An Ordinance In Spite Of An
Injunction

Denver, Colo, Nov. Misrepresentation
is rife at the city hall as to the probable
action of District Judge Mullins in the
case of the aldermen who passed the or
dinance for the extension of the tram
way in disregard to the injunction issued
by him on the petition of the members
of the Municipal League. The majority
of the members of the board decided to
ignore tie injunction, as an opinion
was given by Assistant City Attorney
Ritter to the effect that the court pos
sessed no legal right to interfere with
the procedure of a legislative body.
Judge Mullins is at Boulder today, and
it is unlikely that any action will be
taken by him in the matter before Mon

He is a book keeper. He was born

WOMEN ARE INSANE.
London, Nov. 15.-Sensational stories
are current at Sandringham today re-
garding the arrest of suspicious indf-
viduals in the neighborhood of the
royal residence Late last night it was
asserted that two men disguised as wo-
men were intercepted by the police
while on the way to the house. The
facts are that two women, believed to
be lunatics who wanted to present a
petition to Queen Alexandra, were de-
tanned by the police.
When examined by the police, Rubino
bof hn n
shoot King Leopold and said he held
anarchist beliefs.
A fuller investigation satisfied the
police that Rubino really fired ball car
tridges, the bullets Of which smashed
the window of Comte D'Outremont's
carriage and grazed the grand mar

To the Editor of the New Mexican.
Dear Sir: Your able editorial on "a
Question of Fitness or Political Expe-
diency' in last evenings issue, calls for
the hearty endorsement of every citizen
Of the territory who has its welfare at
heart. TO the thinking man, who real
ICES the great advantages of statehood,
there is little use Of further argument,
but to the people at large, who seldom
give civic questions thought, the
matter ought to be put in the strongest
light. Every paper in the territory, no
matter what its shade Of politics, ought
to take the stand Of the New Mexican
in this matter. Wishing you all success
Believe me, sincerely yours,
e. STEPHEN.
