Washington.-Ther will be no state

on territories Saturday all members,
regardless of party. In Il sensational
scene, abandoned consideration OF the
House bill.
The members Of the committee left
the room without any one suggesting
iurther meetings for It's consideration.
This remarkable action occurred at
the conclusion of the reading of state
mcnts presented by Senators Nelson

leaders OF what was termed the gang
which Is control OF political affairs In
New Mexico"
II is regarded as extremely likely
that the committee on territories will
decide to conduct an investigation in
New Mexico before acting on an ad-
mission bill Senator Beveridge today
introduced a resolution which author
lL'H lll' 'bIllllNNft lU fbIluutl lllLS
II thought to be advisable
Among the statements read was a
telegram from ]. j. Hagerman, former
governor of New Mexico. reflecting
upon the character OF the people who
are In control of political affairs OF that
territory and declaring that these men
expect TO continue their control after
the territory becomes n state.
He refers to them as 'freebooters"
and says that 60 per cent. of the vot-
ers are McXicans and one half of that
number are illiteratc and easily could
be governed by the gang" to which
he referred. He suggested that 1t
would be well 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
made to the Rough Rider influence"
and il Is declared that Governor Curry

fraud cases.
Miss Lawler, a stenographer who as

statement to the committee which in
dicated 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 a 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 1t. This
proposition met with objection, and
after the meeting 1t was said that there
was not n single member of the COM
mittee who would vote to report the

DIR. R. D. WALL CHOSEN
Made Assistant to State Veterinar
ian DR.. Paul Koto.

An unusual honor has come to an
Oskaloosa young man in the appoint
ment of DR.. R. d. Wall as assistant
state veterinarian, the appointment
having been made by State Veterinar-
ian DR.. Paul Koto, wi:o under the new
law was given authority to fill the po-
sition created by the recent legislature,
DR.. Wall is already on the job:
Dir. Wall is a young man who has
the qualifications for his profession
born in him and through diligent study
and earnest effort he has been very
successful during his short career,
When as a Junior from the Chicago
Veterinary college he came to Oska-
loosa one year ago today, to take up
his work as assistant to DR.. H. c. Rog-
ers, he had had only limited expert
|ence in that work. He was then a
professional stenographer and had
worked in many large Offices in Chi
Icago and as public stenographer on
the Pennsylvania lines, but he applied
himself to his work in manner which
was convincing that he had found his
calling, and was determined to make
good" He stayed with DR.. Rogers UNI
til last September, when he went bach
TO Chicago to finish his three years
course in the college. He graduated
on the Goth of last March with hig5
honors. The senior class of 1909 was
composed of lis members. of whom
| l0S graduated. The Twenty-Five who
| had done the most satisfactory work
were placed in the honor class and DR.
Wall was one of them. He also served
Jas secretary of the Chicago Veterinary
Medical Association. His appointment
to the Office of assistant state veter
marian is a reward which was richly
merited and which will give him fur
