necessary to file any additional replies

tions Of the standard Oil attorneys.
The motion of the oil attorneys. he
said, simply asks for elemeney in the
modification of the decree.
The statement says:
THE proposed modification is not
an offer to do business in partner
ship with the state, but that the judg-
mcnt of custer be modified and the
matter held in allegiance and in the
meantime permit the company to do
business under the eye of the court of

Under the modification as pro-
posed, the state could control the

RESULTS WILL FOLLOW
Quiet and Peaceful Week Ex-
pected in the Legislature
With Little of Importance
Likely to TranSpire,
Morning Journal Bureau. |
Tho Palace Hotel,
Santa Re, n. NJ. Feb. z

The week ahead promises to be
about as quiet as any legislative week
IN history With the governor and
the statehood committee leaving to-
night for Washington ana With the
preVailing belief that there may be
something doing after all at the short
session. there is more than ever a dis
position to hold all important legis-
lation in allegiance pending the result.
The announcement that the vote on
the bill will not be taken in the house
of representatives until week from
Monday is not taken here as very
favorable sign, but it is hoped to over
come the disadvantage of late action
by the house by bringing the senate
to see the injustice of further delay
The governor has prevailed upon
Hon. George S. Klock, of Albuquer-
que, to accompany the committee and
Mr. Klock Joined the party at Lamy
tonight The committee will be in
Washington only q few days. The
governor believes that what can be
done can be done quickly and that
a long stay will be neither wise nor
y
Falling to secure statehood he hopes
to secure approval for the school bond
issue the passage of the Carey act
extension and other less important
matters which the territory needs for
continued development.
While the committee IS away, or
until the statehood issue is dctcrmin-
ed there will be very little doing in
the legislature Minor and local bills
viii he considered ana some important ,
bills will be referred to committees
where they will probably remain un-
Ill statehood comes or is put aside for
another year The prospect is for a
quiet week ana the probability is that
there will be nothing doing for ten
days or more
1t is felt that there Is plenty OF time |
for the enactment of all needed leg
isation after March 4th and that with |
chance for statehood it would be |
unwise to pass much legislation Of |
