HOUSE MEMBERS
ARE UNANIMOUS
Poll of Congress Taken by New
York Paper Shows That If
Bill Can be Report
ed 1t VIII
Pass.

Washington, Feb. S-The New
York American today prints the re-
suits of poll taken among members
of Congress on the question of imme-
diate admission to the union of New
Mexico and Arizona. The poll shows
the following results:
The House practically unanimous in
favor Of passing the statehood bill.
In the Senate, Beveridge is the only
senator who says he will oppose the
bill. Six members say they want to
see the bill before they commit them
selves. All the others favor imme-
diate statehood.
The results of this poll place the
statehood cause in even a better light
than it's strongest supporters believed.
With only Beveridge in the Senate
opposing immediate admission, it is
believed that sufficient pressure can
be brought TO bear to have the COM
mittee on territories, of which he is
chairman, report the bill without de-
lay. In that event, the attitude of the
senators is favorable to the immediate
passage of the bill. The six who ex-
pressed a desire to see the provisions
of the act before they gave an opin-
ioil ldNoI the duillSSlon OF tne TWO
territories, but want TO know before
they define their attitude under what
conditions the two territories will en-
ter tire union.
Chairman Hamilton of the House
committee on territories. presented
the following resolutions: That on
Wednesday, February 10, 1909. i'm
mediately upon the approval of the
Journal, the bill to enable the people
of New Mexico to form a constitution
and state government and be admit
ted into the Union on an equal foot
ing with the original states, and to
enable the people of Arizona to form
constitution and state government
and be admitted into the Union on
an equal footing with the original
states, shall be considered in the
House, and after two hours of gen
eral debate the bill shall be read.
whereupon, Immediately. without de-
bate, intervening motion. or appeal. a
vote shall be taken upon the final
passage of the bill.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on rules and ordered to be
printed.

JAPANESE DON'T DARE.

Toxic, Feb. S.-The adoption by the

WHICH WARRANTS SHOULD
BE PAID?-.-WRIT is SERVED
Sheriff Hazen Secures Alternative Writ Ordering County
Treasurer to Pay Warrant for Current Expense Out
Current Collections or Show Cause April 20th

An alternative writ, returnable be-
fore Judge c. w. Stanton in the
district court chambers in this city
on April 20, 1909, has been served
on County Treasurer G. H. French
of this .city in order to test the right
to pay the current expenses of the
county out of current collections,
instead of applying these funds on
back registered warrants.
In this case Sheriff A. B. Hazen
has secured an order from the dis
trict court compelling Mr.. French,
as county treasurer, either to pay
Auditors Warrant, No. 6697, for
$44.90 for conveying John Peterson,
an insane prisoner, to the state
insane asylum, or to file an answer
on the 10th of this month why he
does not comply with this order.
The last notice of money in the
treasury to pay outstanding warrants
was published last November when
it was stated that there was suffici
ent money in the county revenue
fund to paw all outstanding warrants
on that fund registered prior to
August 3, 1904, thus showing that
this fund is nearly four and a hall
years in arrears. 1t was in order to
prevent the treasurer from publish
ing another notice of their being
sufficient money in the treasury tc
pay part of the old warrants, since
the March settlement has been made
and to determine whether the cur
rent expenses should not be paid out
of current collections, that Sheriff
Hazen brought this action against
Mr.. French.
The writ on which the order was
issued is as follows:
