prosecutor in the trial of Patrick Cal
houn, president of the United Rail-

week today, raised an unexpected is
sue today by demanding all vouchers
of the legal department of the cor

the demand in violation of "every
fundamental principle Of American
liberty and American jurisprudence"
I'VE are dealing with a public service
corporation which at all time is
amenable to the courts and the legis-
lature," responded Heney. "And,
further, there never has been and
never will be law providing that a
man may commit criminal acts and
that his employees may never be call
ed to testify against him"
The request for the vouchers was
made after Adam Dahler, acting
treasurer Of the company, testified
that he had no recollection of money
being paid to the chief counsel and
federal attorney for which no ex-
planatory vouchers were given. Init
mating that he would order the pro-
duction OF the vouchers, Judge Law
lor directed that the witness be fur

NEW MEXICO EDITOR
AT WASHINGTON
Secretary Of the Territorial Bureau Of
immigration interviewed by
Washington Post.

"The mere connection of the word
Territory with New Mexico is a
check upon our progress asserted
Horace Brand Hening, editor OF the
Morning Journal, Of Albuquerque, New
Mexico, at the Raleigh yesterday. "We
are growing and making progress, of
course, but it is under handicapped
conditions. When statehood comes, as
it finally must, then watch us 90 ahead
with leaps and bounds.
"The people Of New Mexico were
sorely disappointed when the last ses-
sion Of Congress adjourned without
making any provisions as to statehood.
We think that if Senator Beveridge,
chairman Of the committee on Terri
tories, had understood us better--had
he known more of real conditions-he
would not have blocked the consider
alton of the statehood bill in the Sen
ate. But it may have been that we in
New Mexico failed to understand Sen
ator Beveridge. Anyhow, we have
great hopes that the aspect will be
changed in this Congress when it
meets in regular session in December.
New Mexico now has half mil
lion people, and is in excellent shape
for statehood, financially and other
wise. My city, Albuquerque, has in
creased 20 per cent within the past
three or four years in population, and
the next two or three years will show
a still greater percentage Of growth. 1t
