Introduces Resolution to
Bring Persons and Papers
to Capital.
Special to The New Mexican.

Washington, D. c., March 1.-Sen-
atOr Beveridge introduced resolution
in the Senate to instruct the commit
tee on territories to send to New Mex
leo for persons and papers to investi-
gale the harges made against the ter
ritory and its people during the con-
gressional recess. The resolution
went over upon objection of Senator
Owen of Oklahoma.
Delegate w. H. Andrews called at
the White House today and President
Roosevelt expressed to him the kind
est wishes for New Mexico and Ari-
zona. He said the people of either
territory can call upon him freely at
any time he can be of service to
them.
President Roosevelt today sent to
the Senate the names Of Judge Ed
ward A. Mann of Alamogordo, and
Judge Ira A. Abbott for Albuquerque
for re-appointment as associate JUS
tices of the supreme court of New
Mexico.
Hagerman Didn't Do It.
"The report is quite untrue" said
Herbert J. Hagerman, OF Roswell, n.
M, ex-governor of New Mexico, today
when asked as to the truth of the
newspaper Story stating that he had
attacked the people of New Mexico be-
for the Senate committee on territor.
les.
4 left Washington over week ago
and never appeared before the Senate
committee nor had communication
with it, w. H. Andrews and his
friends cannot shift responsibility for
the defeat of the statehood bill when
they brought about the conditions
which resulted in that defeat. New
Mexico is entitled to statehood, but
the present situation proves that she
cannot get it as long as discreditable
men are chosen to represent her in
Washington or elsewhere"
Mr.. Hagerman said the story that
he had declared the people OF New
Mexico unfit for statehood and litter
ate was absolutely false.
Disagreement On Trust Question.
Washington d. c., March 1.-THE
Senate committee on judiciary today
voted to report disagreement on the
resolution providing for the investi-
cation of the absorption of the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron company by the
U. s. steel corporation.
Any views to the Senate will be
considered ''individual' reports not
having the sanction of the committee.
This is generally regarded as a COM
promise as number of Senators had
drafted report declaring the merger
to be in violation of the Sherman anti
trust law and rebuking President
Roosevelt for his part in transaction
while others declared it was not the
function of the committee under the
resolution adopted to pass upon the
question.
Cooks Remarks Privileged.
Washington, d. c., March 1.-The
special committee appointed to exam
inc the recent speech of Representa-
tive Cook of Colorado, attacking Pres

and do not call for further action by
the House" The report was approved
and the special committee discharged.
