HOOD BILL IN SENATE
COMMITTEE.
CHARGES ARE SERIOUS
COMMITTEE MAY DECIDE ON IN
vESTIGATIoN BEFORE
TAKING ACTION.

Washinston.-Ther will be no s ate.
hood legislation for New Mexico and
Arizona at the present session of Con.
gress. At meeting of the committee
on territories Saturday all members,
regardless of party. in a sensational
scene, abandoned consideration of the
House bill.
The members Of the committee left
the room without any one sugge sting
further meetings for its consideration
This remarkable action occurred at
the conclusion of the reading of state
ments presented by Senators Nelson
and Beveridge. charging corruption,
jury bribing and various other o.
lenses against certain officials and
leaders of what was termed The gang
which is control of political affairs in
New Mexico"
1t IS regarded as extremely likely
that the committee on territories will
decide to conduct an investigation in
New Mexico before acting on an al.
mission bill. Senator Bevcridge today
introduced a resolution which author.
lies the committee to Conduct hearings
If thought to be advisable.
Among the statements read was a
telegram from J. J. Hagerman, former
governor of New Mexico. reflecting
upon the character of the people who
territory and declaring that these men
expect to continue their control after
the territory becomes a state.
He refers to them as "freebooters"
and says that 60 per cent. of the vot-
ers are Mexicans and one half OF that
number are illiterate and easily could
be governed by the gang to which
he referred. He suggested that II
would be we'll to wait until after the
next census before admitting New
Mexico to statehood.
Another statement was read recount.
Ing the difficulties experienced by
Ormsby McHarg. who went to New
Mexico In 1907 as agent OF the De.
partment OF Justice to prosecute land
frauds. This statement declares that
Mr.. McHarg was hampered In his work
by Governor Curry and his attorney
general. Judge A. b. Fall

before the committee reference is

dictated that the lives OF the govern.
ment agents were in danger so long as
they mentioned several people promi-
nent in public affairs In New Mexico
In n most uncomplimentary manner
and cited certain records which she
said would bear her out In all her
statements.
At a former meeting OF the commit.
tee one OF the Democratic senators
proposed that all sections OF the bill
proposing to legalize land grants and
bond issues be stricken from II. This
proposition met with objection and
