ART SCHOOL MERGER IN DOUBT.
National Academy May Not Devote It's
Funds to Project-Big Gift Reported.

In the plan for a school of fine arts involving
the cooperation of Columbia University, the Ma
tionaI Academy Of Design and the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, the academy must raise 100000
within a year TO erect a school building on site
Furnished by Columbia Some of the older acade-
rnicians have expressed the fear that if the public
did not subscribe the $4,000 the academy funds
might be drawn upon for that purpose. It has been
urged by those opposed to the scheme that the
academy has a building fund of than $4,000,
maintenance funds of 100000 each, and real
estate on Morningside Heights valued at more than
100000
J. c. Nicoii, g member Of the council of the Ma
tional Academy of Design, said last evening that if
the Academy of Design could not raise the proposed
S5G10G0 by popular subscription the present agree
Inent with Columbia University would fall through,
and some other agreement would have to be made.
IN any event, of the funds of the Academy OF
Design would be drawn upon.
At the same time, Mr. Nicon said that a large
subscription had been promised, contingent upon
the raising of equal amount 1t may be said
upon authority that this contingent subscription is
for s000 for professorships Of painting, sculpture
and decoration.

BY Associated Press.

DENVER, Jan. 13.-The National
live stock association was rent in
twain today by the adoption of new
constitution which admitted the pack
ers to membership and provided an
opening through which the railroads
of the country might at any time be
come factors in the control of the or
ganization. The cattlemen, horse
and swine growers, together with some
of the affiliated industries refused to
agree to the new constitution, and
withdrew when they considered its
adoption as probable, and this after
noon they formed a new organization
under the name of the American Stock
Growers association, whose aim it will
be to WELD a dominating influence in
the interest of the cattle growers.
Roughly speaking the sheep growers
commission men and the stockyards
interests remained with the association
and the actual growers of all other
animals for the market have gone with
the new association. The new organi-
cation elected John W. Springer, the
former president of the national live
stock association, as president and de
cided to hold a convention on May ID
for the election of officers to serve for
one year.
At meeting of the National live
stock association held tonight the cen
trail committee which is the governing
body. WIS announced. The committee
reelected Frank J. Hagenbarth as pres
ident and passed a resolution thank
ing him for his work and expressing
confidence in him as an official. The
other officers will be chosen tomorrow.

MAMMOTH TUNNEL PROJECT
THROUGH SENATOR MOUNTAIN
Apparently We'll Grounded Rumor That
Phelps Dodge and Company Contemplate
Such an Enterprise Work to
Commence Soon.

The Journal Miner has been inform
ed on what Is apparently reliable
authority that work of great impor
lance to this section will shortly be
inaugurated hy the Commercial Min
ing company. which is an organization
of Phelps Dodge Il Co.
The above company has for some
time been quietly buying up mining
properties in the vicinity of the
Senator mine, but has been making no
outward display of the matter. In
fact so quietly has this alb: orption of
mining property by them been made
that but few people have known of it,
and the impression has been obtained
that the company had practically
withdrawn from this section rather
than that they we're planning more
extensive operations which Seems to
be the case.
The information given the Journal
Miner is that J. s. Douglas will ar
rive here shortly and commence work
extending the Senator tunnel, the
plan being to drive it clear throug h
the mountain and cut number of
we'll known lodges, which exist there
at great depth.
The tunnel was originally run to tap
the Senator vein, and just what was
encountered in it has never been given

No Action Was Taken
Yesterday in the
Senate
Oklahoma is Vicious for the Pas
sage Prominent Men for and
Against the Hamilton HOOdO Bill.

WASHINGTON, January 13.-Fifty
delegates from Oklahoma and Indian
Territory are storming the senatorial
committee rooms this afternoon de-
handing the passage of the Hamilton
joint statehood bill with its main pro-
visions as applying to Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory. Senator Cul-
lom, of Illinois, now says that the
bill will surely pass. Senator Bever
idge of Indiana, who is leading the
fight for the bills passage states that
the bill will unquestionably pass.
Delegate elect ". H. Andrews CT New
Mexico is the only representative of
that territory here TO fight the bill.
He is working heroically to prevent
today's stampede of the senatorial
committee rooms from effecting the
passage of the bill. y. Cakes Murphy,
former governor and ex delegate of
Arizona, and Delegate j. Francis Will
son and Delegate elect Marcus a.
Smith, of Arizona, insist if the bill is
asset that Arizona be eliminated
from any part in it, saying that the
people of Arizona prefer to remain a
territory if need be forever rather
than be merged with New Mexico into
the proposed JOINT state of Arizona.
Numerous amendments have been
offered to the Hamilton bill as it now
stands. Senator German of Maryland
is now leading the opposition to the
bill and has asked time to examine it.
The president has been taking es-
pecial interest in the statehood bill
for the past day or two for the reason
there have been statements to the
effect that the republican majority of
the committee know and knew that
the people of Arizona were utterly OPP
posed to the bill. Something of fog
has been raised over the allegations
and the president has some strong
opinions on the subject.
There seems to be a we'll defined
plan on the part of the opposition to
keep the discussion hot until some of
The appropriation bills-or.the food bill
demand action and then to have the
statehood bill indefinitely sidetracked.
There are those who think in view of
the strenuous protests to jointure
from many sources that it is not i'm
probable that Oklahoma and Indian
Territory will be admitted as one state
aud that New Mexico and Arizona
will be allowed to remain for the
present session as they are.

struction of roadbed from Wicken-
burg, Arizona, to a point west of the

cit has been given out semi official
ly several times that as soon as the
roadway is built to the Colorado river
it will be continued south to Yuma,
and from there to San Diego, travers-
ing in its course one of the greatest
undeveloped sections of the southwest.
"Three hundred men and two hun
bred teams are now throwing up this
roadbed as fast as they can, contracts
recently being let to the Grant Broth
ers Construction company of Los An
geles for forty miles of the bed.
Already the Santa Fe has built
forty miles of the grade west of Wick
enburg, and the forty miles under
contract will almost take the road to
the Colorado. 1t is said that as soon
as the Grant Brothers complete their
work another contract will be let that
will take the road to the banks of the
Colorado.
1.-The new road is known as the Ari-
IONA and California, and for nearly
