A SWORN STATEMENT
FROM THOSE INTERESTED.

The Santa Fe Central Railway COM
pany was built by the Pennsylvania
Development company, and completed
about two years ago. 1t extends from
Santa Fe south, about 120 miles, con
meeting the Denver & Rio Grande, the
Santa Fe system and the Rock Island
system. The road is in good condi-
tion and earning much more than op.
Grating expenses, and the earnings are
steadily increasing. w. II. Andrews
Is president of the railroad company,
Arthur Kennedy Is president of the
development company, Francis j.
Torrance is vice president of both
companies, and w. c. Hagan is sec
retary OF both companies. Mr.. Clarke
was treasurer of both companies and
had the custody of their securities.
The railroad company has no notes
out. We are not aware of any notes
OF the Pennsylvania Development COM
pany in the Enterprise National bank
and the company has no record of
such. If, however, Mr.. Clarke used
any notes of the company in his bank,
they will be paid. (Signed)

RAILROAD men ARE NOW WILLING
TO COMPROMISE WITH PRESIDENT
Will Surrender All Asked But The Rate Regulating
Power for Commerce Commission, Desiring
Injunction Power Instead.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 21.-Rail-
way opposition to rate legislation is
prepared to compromise.
Here are the terms which will be
offered to President Roosevelt in a
bill which will probably be presented
to the senate committee on interstate
commerce:
An amendment of the interstate
commerce act to make more specific
the right of the government to deal
with terminal abuses, industrial roads,
switch tracks, elevators, etc.
Enlarged powers in the govern
ment to supervise and examine the
books and accounts of the railways,
with a view to prevent secret rebates,
etc.
Amendment declaring special car
facilities to be subject to the same
control by the federal authorities as
any other instrumentality of inter-
state commerce, and requiring pub
licity.
Amendment requiring longer no.
tice for reduction or elevation of
rates.
Amendment to expedite hearings in
rate disputes, and TO provide LOT IN
stituting original proceedings in the
circuit court of the United States,
without waiting for preliminary hear
ings before the interstate commerce
commission.
Amendment vesting interstate com
merce commission with enlarged pow
ers and duties in the instigation Of
complaints and conduct of prosecu-
tions.
The railways are willing to yield
everything demanded by the admin
istration except the specific kind Of
remedy for rate determinations which
President Roosevelt has hitherto in
sisted upon, namely a remedy to in
crease of power in a commission to
substitute and put into immediate eff
feet a new rate in place of one found,
after hearing, to be unreasonable.

COL. w. S. HoPEWELL
WAS GREATLY SURPRISED

Col. ". >. hopewell, vice president
OF the Santa Fe Central and Albuquer-
que Eastern railways, and of the Penn
sylyania Development company, arriv-
ed from Denver last night. Mr.. Hope
well was very much surprised at
the suicide of Cashier T. Lee Clark of
the Enterprise National bank. but
seems confident Of carrying out to sue
cess the projects which are said TO
have fallen through by the failure and
suicide Of Treasurer Clarke.

the catastrophe which befeu Clarke, +"

cannot yet conceive his reasons for
suicide, and as to the Santa Fe Cen
Tal borrowing a large amount Of
money from the Enterprise National

Mr. Clarke was personally, a heavy
investor In Santa Fe Central stock,
and all the kindred interests. But

In place of the presidents remedy
for rate discrimination, it is proposed
/ that complainants be given enlarged
facilities to invoke the aid of the in
junction. This power, 1t will be ar
gued by those who favor this prop
osition, never has been tried, although
the Elkins amendment, they say, per-
mits it.
Those who are putting forward this
remedy deny that they are asking the
courts to go into the rate-making
business. They say that they are not
quarrelling with the recently rem
dered opinion of the attorney general
that the courts may not, by appeal or
otherwise, fix future rates. 1t is claim
ed that the decree of the court, after
finding rates to be discriminatory,
would be an order enjoining the Of
Tending road from continuing to col
lect the unfair rates. Any failure to
comply in spirit as we'll as letter with
the courts mandate, would be con-
tempt
While the court would not name a
new substitute rate, the injunction
would compel the roads to adopt a
reasonable rate and would compel
them to secure the courts consent to
modify it, even If conditions changed
and it became necessary to change
the rate.
The novelty of the proposition-the
correction of rate determinations by
injunction-is likely to attract lively
attention. While there has not been
so, much agitation of government by
injunction" of late years, there is
still a widespread sentiment that the
courts powers in this direction have
been already considerably stretched.
The compromise has not yet been
formally laid before President Roose-
welt, but those who have been shap-
lng it up profess to be hopeful that
the president will be persuaded to ac-
cept it.
No legislation is the alternative
which the railways offer him.

COTTON REPORT BY
MILLER AND COMPANY

New York, Oct. Pin their review
of the cotton situation, Miller & Co.
say: zone Of the effects of the recent
drop i'm temperature will be the re-
lease OF a great deal Of pent up cotton
in the Mississippi valley, where quar-
antines have seriously interfered with
transportation. Quarantines cease
when frost sets in, and it is believed
that a heavy movement Of cotton will
begin towards New Orleans. Such a
movement would take al least a week
or ten days before showing in the Of
flcial record of receipts, and mean
while. there may be quite a sharp fall
ing off in the total, since private re-
ports are almost unanimous in stating
that farmers have sold little or moth
ing since October Sd, and the holdings
by merchants and others have by this
time been shipped out

After the first startling reports OF
the failure of the Enterprise National
bank, of Allegheny, Pa, and the sui
eide of I. Lee Clark, its cashier. who
was treasurer of the Santa Fe Central
railway and the Pennsylvania Develop
ment company, both institutions vi.
tally important to the growth and ad-
vancement of central New Mexico, and
the subsiding of the furore in New
Mexico financial and political circles
caused by the connection with Clarke
of Delegate w. II. Andrews, who is
president of the Santa Fe Central rail
way. through erratic and unfounded
reports of the affair by the Morning
Journal in an attempt to be sensa-
tional, the truth of the affair gradu-
ally becomes known.
Delegate Andrews had no more con-
nection with the failure OF the En-
terprise National bank. than that he
was president of the Santa Fe Cen
trail railway, OF which Clarke was
treasurer, and probably the fact that
he was associated and is associated
in several New Mexico enterprises
with Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania,
who welded some influence in placing
some of the Pennsylvania state funds
in the Enterprise National bank on
deposit.
Apparently Mr.. Andrews name was
brought in connection with the failure
of the Enterprise National bank for
political purposes alone.
That the bank us solvent, is the
latest advice received from Pittsburg.
That the depositors, and the state
of Pennsylvania, which had money ag-
gregating 100000 on deposit with the
bank, will be reimbursed in full, is
assured by the stability of the bank S
stockholders.
That the failure of the Enterprise
National bank was due to the injudi-
cious management of its erstwhile
cashier, is revealed by his own writ
ten confession.
And that the first sensational re-
ports about Senator Andrews, General
Torrance, Senator Penrose, and other
Pennsylyanians largely interested in
New Mexico enterprises, were mixed
up with the scandal which drove
Clarke to suicide, were sent by enc
mics of the republican state admins
tration Of Pennsylvania, of which Sem
ator PenrOse, an associate of Senator
Andrews, is identified, for political
capital alone, is also proven Homer
l.. Castle, prohibition candidate for
superior court judge, and law part
ner Of Ex-Governor William A. Stone,
who is conducting a crusade against
the republican leaders, has virtually
admitted this.
Because the Enterprise National
hank held a largo slim of panugVlVa-
MIA state funds and because its CASH
Ter was treasurer for institutions in
New Mexico, promoted by Senator An
drews. Senator Penrose and Francis
j. Torrance, the party that is not in
power in politics saw that by asso-
ciating the above facts and distorting
them, they could create what would
appear to the outsider as a scandal.

As Congressman Tawney
Says New Mexico and
Arizona Stay Out.
PROSPERITY IS HIS REASON
Capital Would Not Come in
if Government Changed
to State.
aONSTaOUS STRIDES PREDICTED

Kansas City, Oct. 31.-Congressman
j. A. Tawney, of Minnesota, who pass
ed through Kansas City last night en-
route east, at the head of the con-
gressional party that has been study
ing the statehood question in the west
is quoted as saying:
Conditions are not yet ripe for the
admission of either New Mexico or
Arizona, or both of the territories to-
gether. | believe that the wisest move
for those two territories at this time,
would be to cease agitating the state
hood question altogether. Those terri
tories are not yet ready for it, and
there is no use talking about it.
There is nothing wrong with the
people or natural conditions of New
Mexico or Arizona. Both are enjoy
ing great prosperity, and it is for this
reason that | expect to oppose with all
my power their admission now. I
believe that the federal government is
giving them justice in every particu-
lar. Further admission to statehood
would unsettle the conditions there.
Capital Is going in there while the
conditions are in a transitory state.
What the country needs out there is
settled conditions for a few years at
least. How many years | would not
venture to predict though within the
next five years, unless something un-
forseen happens, both the territories
will make monstrous strides.
Another thing am impressed with,
is the utter impracticabllity of maxi
ing single commonwealth of those
two large territories. | can assure
you that no move will be made to-
ward statehood for Arizona. in any
form whatever, at the approaching
session of congress. That has been
decided upon"

OTHER ROADS WANT
SANTA FE CENTRAL
Negotiations Now on Foot
With the PittSburg
PrOprietOrs.
VALUE OF ALBUQUERQUE EASTERN

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. '21.-Apparently
the directors of the Enterprise Ma
tional bank of Allegheny, are today as
much in the dark regarding the banks s
financial condition as they were when
the doors were closed Wednes ~
last. The conference of the directors
and their counsel last night aid not
adjourn until after midnight.
Information as to the questions un-
der consideration was refused, but 1t
is known that the advisability OF tax
ing action, either criminal or civil,
was discussed, and also TIE methods
to be pursued in holding de estate
of Cashier Lee Clarke lial for any
shortage that may be disc. 80 4.
Negotiations are now under way
for the sale of the Santa Fe Central
railroad by the Pittsburg owners. 1t
is said that several offers have been
made for the property, and at least
three or four railroads, which now
have connections with it, are among
the negotiators. These roads are the
Denver & Rio Grande, the Rock ISL
and, the Atchison, Topeka &c Santa Fe
and the Ell Paso & Southwestern, the
latter also being known as the prop
erty of the Phelps-Dodge people.
(The fact that connecting railroads
are competing for the Santa Fe Cen
tral is not surprising, for, realizing its
great Importance, several of them for
some time, have been trying to secure
control of the road. AS the Albuquer-
que Eastern is the jewel in the Penn
sylvania Development company's as
sets, making of value all else 1t holds,
any road that may secure the Central
will be even more anxious to complete
the Eastern than have been the pres
ent owners. The completion of the
Albuquerque Eastern, opening as 1t
does, the Central to Albuquerque
commerce, and making available the
valuable bonus from this city, as well
as the immense riches of the Hagan
coal fields, cannot be in doubt under
any circumstances.-Edi
