Kansas City, Mo, oct 2t.--Con-
gresham J. A. Tawney. of Minneso-

the congressional party thar has been
studying the statehood question in the
west, is quoted as saying: Conditions
are not yet ripe for the admission Of
either Arizona or New Mexico or both
of these territories together / believe
that the Eisest move for those two
territories at this time, would be 20
cease agithtng the statehooi question.
Those territories are rot yet ready FOR

There is hothngNyrong with the peo-
pie or ndtural Conditions of New MrA-
leo or Nigga, Both are enjoying
great prbsSerity and il is for this Iea-
son thaV expect to oppose with all
my power their admission now. | be-
lieve THAT the federal government is
giving them justice In every particu-
lar. Further admission TO statehood
would unsettle the condlti) )ns there.
Capital is not going in there while the
political conditions are in a trHnsitOry
state. What the country needs out
there is settled conditions for a few
years at least How many years
would not venture to predict, thongh
within the next five years. unless
something unforeseen happens both
the territories will make monstrous
strides. Another thing | am Impress
ed with is the utter impra disability
Of making a single wealth of
those two large territories. | can as =
sure you that no move viii be made
towards statehood for Arizona in any
form whatever at the approaching
session of congress. That has been

Among the rumors In circulation
here today in connection with the

agents for the state organization are
here for the purpose OF taking up al
of the so-called political paper held by
the bank. This report cannot be yeri'
fed
1t is confidently stated that the bank
holds three notes bearing the sigma

these notes are personal or In connec'

with which the dead cashier was as

SULTAN LOSES CONTROL
OF MOROCCO TO POWERS

Paris. Oct. Information has
been received here that Count Won
Tattenbach -Askold, German minister
at FeZ, and M. st. Rene Taillandier.
French minister at the same capital
are about to depart together from
Fez This marks the practical terml-
nation of the sultans direct control OF
Moroccan affairs and the beginning
of the powers assumption of authority
by means of the International confer
ence. The Franco-German accord
stipulated that both ministers should
withdraw but their actual departure
closes the sultan's opportunity for
further communication directly with
the governments through the minis
ters, The result Is not calculated to
fulfill Morocco's hopes, which were
reused to a high pitch by Emperor
Williams visit to Tangier and the as
surance of German protection. Re-
ports from Fee show that the sultal,
has now recognized that the interna-
tional conference subjects Morocco
practically to the same foreign control
as the French program. Therefore, he
is deeply disappointed to see the min
listers depart and Morocco's future
pass out of his hands.
More Time for Venezuela.
The officials say that Premier Rou-
viers departure for Madrid tomorrow
with President Loubet for a ten days
visit to SPAIN indicates that no
change in the Venezuelan situation is
likely to occur In the near future. All
now depends on President Castro :
willingness to withdraw his offensive
action against NJ. Taigny the French
charge d'affaires at Caracas, and con-
siderable time will be given him be-
fore instructions are sent to the squad
ron now gathering at Fort de France
Island of Martinique. When this Of
fense is redressed the French Gable
company expect no difficulty in ad-
justing their compensation for the
seized cable lines.
