friends wherever he lived. While a
citizen of New Mexico he did whatev-

STATEHOOD
PROPOSITION
Associate Justice Baker Sanguine
Of Favorable Action During
Present Congress.
ENTIRE BENCH FAVORS
Chief Justice Mills Of Opinion That
Constitution Will Be Voted Upon
This Fall.

| Il think that the sovereignty Of
statehood for New Mexico will surely
come at this session of Congress, Z"
said Associate Justice Benjamin S.
Baker; of the territorial Supreme
| Court, "and the conclusions | have
reached are based on good and sub
stantial reasons.
"In the first place the lower House
of Congress has 125 clear majority for
the proposition, and the statehood bill
being privileged matter the speaker
OF the House of Representatives can
not prevent it coming to vote, should
such be his desire.
Again the United States Senate has
not less than fifteen majority for it,
and the Senators canot block the
game the same as before, because it
would result in holding the Senate ov-
er for year, this being the long ses-
sion of Congress, but to hold the Sen
ate over would be impossible. I am
therefore of the opinion that New
Mexico will be granted statehood at
this session.
Chief Justice Mills Opinion.
81 think We will get statehood in
time to vote ON constitution at the
fall elections" said Chief Justice
Mills. 81 am avowedly in favor of
statehood and it can come none too
soon to suit me-
The other three members of the
territorial Supreme Court, Associate
Justices John R. McFie, Frank w.
Parker and w. H. Pope, are all first,
last and forever in favor of statehood.
but did not care to discuss pro or con
the possibility or probability of the
single statehood proposition for New
Mexico, receiving favorable action
during the present session of Con-
gress.

terday.
Japanese Government Silent.
Toxic, Jan. THE government is
silent concerning the terms of the
Russian rejoinder High authority
here, however, says that the reply is
unsatisfactory to Japan especially in
the features bearing upon the question
of Corea.
1t says that the Russian government
in it's communication expresses the de-
sire for a peaceful settlement of the
matters in dispute. Japan has taken
the reply under consideration and If
convinced that Russia's protestations
are honest and that there is a chance
for peace, she will continue negotia-
tions.
At the same time the ministry is
unqualifiedly opposed to long delay.
It is becoming apparent that Japan
would resent any Intervention upon
the part of any outside powers in the
event Of an extremity of the crisis.
1t is thought here that the United
States might intervene. Such an in
tervention the Japanese say would be
unjust and only create delay which
would be advantageous to Russia.

Chicago, Jan. THE coroner's in
quest over the remains of the victims
OF the Iroquois theater began in the
city council chamber today. The coro
ner's official list of the dead for use al
the inquest contains 565 names. Prep
arat.ons are complete for the most
searching inquiry into the causes OF
the greatest calamity Chicago has ev.
er known.
1t is estimated that it will require
at least six days for the jury to hear
the testimony of 200 or more witnesses.
Great stress was laid by the coroner
upon the developments during the in
quest in the relation to the stage ven-
! tilator and air shafts, the proper
working of which it is held would
have.s. saved hundreds from death

day Of William J. Maher and George
Nagel who were employed by the SUBJ
contractor of the Fuller Construction
Company, is considered most import
ant BY the coroner
According to the police, Maher to-
day said he had charge of the metal
construction of the ventilator which
was to have been operated by a lever
from the stage so it could be thrown
open at moments notice but accord
ing to Maher. the lever was never at
tached Maher, according to the po-
lice also says he went to the theater
the day after the fire but could find
no traee of the lever He saw several
Temporary scantlings still nailed to
the wall in the way he had fixed them
when his part of the construction work
OF the theater was finished.
.ne police say that the statements
of, the men show that the safety vents
fE the fire were never operated even
,eFK9t Taentally and every audience
that ever Sat in the Iroquois have
been in imminent danger of roasting
to death by the wholesale whenever
fire broke out on the stage. Both men
say the skylights were expected to be
put in proper working order when the
theater was placed in the hands Of the
owners.
u0 llTSL WllIoSS 0Aduluou IOudy
was John. G. Calvin, painting con-
tractor. He testified that he was in
the vestibule of the theater on the af-
ternoon of the fire purchasing tickets
for the evening performance when
the outside entrance doors were
blown open as though by blast of
hot air. Looking into the foyer he saw
people endeavoring to open the west
door, that being the nearest. 1t was
locked on the inside and he could do
nothing with it.
Curtain Man to Be Arrested.
Chicago, Jan. 1.-The chief of police
and coroner this afternoon issued or
ders to take into custody a represent
ative of a Boston concern that made
the alleged asbestos curtain for the
Iroquois theater. They also directed |
that no person whatever be allowed to

action was taken on receipt of infor
