will be two reports from the legislative

minority report. Abandoning hope of get

mission set about It today to prepare the
two reports. The commission is agreed on
the major portions OF the report. All the
features as 10 fraternal Insurance and
most OF the features as to fire insurance
the committee has been able TO agree TO
unanimously and this part of the report
is already prepared and ready. The COM
mission went over the various features OF
the report a second time and now today
the commissioners are at work on the sec
tons dealing with deferred dividends and
expense loading and other features that
have to do with the old line life insurance
company business, 1t is understood that all
the questions at issue have to do pri-
mariy with the question of deferred divi-

bearing on that, as the less expense there
Is the more money there will be TO dis
tribute in dividends 10 the policy holder
It seemed evident tonight that the com

NO EXCITEMENT IN OF l.
Drill Strikes Rock So Hard That On
Iy One Foot Per Day is
Penetrated

In that section of the Territory
there are a very few native born cit
izens, but there are a great many OF
the rovers from Mexico, and not one
in ten of them are citizens, or care
whether they are or not. These men
simply line up on the day of the pri-
mary and offer their votes for sale
to the highest bidder, and as there
is no law to protect the vote, the
scheme to bar all MeXicans was
brought forward by some shortsight-
ed politicians.
There was no reflection intended
upon the native born citizens Of New
Mexico, and it is understood chat for
the purpose of the primary native
born was called an American, no mat
ter what his extraction. In this way
all the doubtful voters were barred.
Any man ever looking into the
conditions along the border will un-
derstand the difficulties under which
the Democrats of Eddy county were
struggling, and he will also under
stand that the action taken was ac-
tually no reflection against the Mex
leans of this territory. 1t was simply
intended to meet the conditions exist
ing in that county, where the So
called Mexicans are not generally
citizens of the United States.

tions are understood the Mexicans of
this part of New Mexico will not be
led away because of anything that
has happened over there.
Isaac Garfield, who was in from
the oil field this morning, says there
is nothing further to report at pres
ent. Drilling was stopped yesterday
afternoon on account of having en-
countered hard, fiinty limestone that
made it necessary to have the bits
ground over. The drill up 20 four
in the afternoon yesterday penetrat-
ed only one foot on account of the
character of the rock. The well is
now I,251 feet in depth. Drilling will
be resumed this afternoon.
The rumor circulated yesterday
that oil was running out of the we'll
was untrue.
The Home Oil Company today re-
ceived bids for drilling wells. The
bidders were an Indiana outfit and
others from the lower valley. Some
stock was disposed of this morning.
Only a limited amount more will be
sold and those who desire stock can
leave the money with Secretary Ora
ham or with any bank in Roswell.
j. W. Warren says that the indica-
tions here are more favorable than

AN EARLY ADJOURNMENT.
The Canal Type Decision May Delay
the Plans of Conqress.

Washington, June 13-An unex
pected snag was struck today in the
movement for an early adjournment
the Panama canal must be settled
before congress closes its sessions
Secretary Taft has been in confer
ence with Speaker Cannon and Chair
man Hepburn of the Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce, and
there is disposition to settle the
type of canal before adjournment.
Secretary Taft is earnest in his eff
forts to have the matter settled be-
fore the work proceeds much furth-
er. 1t is possible that when the ap-
preparation of $25,OOO,OOO for contin-
uing the work on the canal is reach
ed ap amendment for an S5-foot canal
will be made. which would mean the
determination of the type of canal
before the supply measure becomes
a law
The Republican steering commit
tee of the senate met today and CON
sidered the question of adjournment
as soon as possible after next week
The committee was in session for
an hour and adjourned convinced
that nothing stands in the way of
such a program. 1t is believed that
the adjournment will come about
June 2Sth. The program thus arrang-
ed contemplates a vote on the canal
type bill in the senate, but no fur
ther action until next session. The
vote in the senate will it is believed
result in a decision in favor of a
sea-level canal.
The statehood bill, the railroad
rate bill, the meat inspection bill and
bills relating to a number of other
subjects of great public interest were
considered by the steering commit
tee, but il was estimated that all
these matters had reached stages
that will offer no obstacles TO ad-
journment at an early date.
An understanding was reached in
the senate today that the vote prob
ably will be taken on the canal type
bill On Friday of this week.
