Special to The New Mexican.
Washington, D. c., Feb. 17.--To in
sure its passage the Senate commit
tee on territories should report the
statehood bill in three days. Dilling-
ham (acting chairman in the absence
of Beveridge), Burnham, Bean, Piles.
Halson, Dick, all Republicans, in the
presence of Bailey and other Demo
Gratis, pledged their words as honor
able men to consider the bill Friday
and report it. Aldrich lost his head
today and threatened Andrews and
Curry, saying that they had no right
to work for statehood on the floor of
the Senate. Andrews told Aldrich
that he and Curry would work on
the floor of the Senate whenever they
pleased, as the rules permitted The
Pennsylvania Senator. Teller, and
others who are Democrats, told An
drews and Curry to come on the floor
of the Senate whenever they pleased.
The fight is waxing exceedingly hot.

PRAISE WORK
ON PANAMA CANAL
Engineers Say It
Can Be Complet-
ed By 1915
KNOCKERS ARE REBUKED
Roosevelt Says Those Oppos.
ing Lock Type Want No
Canal at All.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Any attack
made hereafter on the lock type of
the Panama canal, according to an
opinion expressed by President
Roosevelt in his message transmit
ting to Congress today, the report
made by the engineers, who recently
visited the canal zone, with President
elect Taft, sis in reality merely an
attack upon the policy of building
any canal at ALL The report in
the presidents opinion shows in the
clearest fashion that Congress was
wise in the position it took and that
it would be inexcusable to change
from the proposed lock canal to sea
canal. The president calls attention
particularly to the character and
standing of the engineers who went
to Panama and says of all the men
of their profession they are, ION the
whole, the best qualified to pass upon
these very questions which they have
examined Then he calls attention
to their report on the Gatun dam, to
which, because it was the central
point of discussion, they gave the
first consideration. In the opinion of
the engineers the dam is in every re-
spect satisfactory and meets with
their unanimous approval. Their es-
innate of the complete cost of the
canal is three hundred and sixty mil
lion dollars. Commendation was ex-
pressed at the present condition OF
the work and the engineers voice the
belief that "in no great construction
work has so much been done for the
employees in the way of furnishing the
necessary comforts and luxuries of
lie, the same being charged
against the cost of the
canal work, as has been done on
this great work. This is one of the
reasons for the high cost of the
canal" The engineers Sc no reason
why the canal should not be COM
pleted as estimated by the chief en-
gineer, by January l, 1915.

Eighteen Thousand
Acres of Fertile
Land Benefited
APPLICATION IS GRANTED
By Territorial Engineer.-San.
ia Fe Citizens Behind
the Enterprise.

Application No. 204, of Colonel G..
w. Prichard and j. w. Reynolds OF
this city was taken up by Territorial
Engineer Vernon l.. Sullivan this
morning and approved. This project
of Prichard and Reynolds will add
about $4,000 acres of the most fertile
valley land to the irrigated districts
in Santa Fe county south Of this city
and will be of untold value in devel-
oping this vicinity. The water for
this large enterprise is diverted from
the Santa Fe river mostly in times
of flood and carried to a storage res
ervoir Of some. 10000 acre feet ca
pacity from which water is conduct
ed off through two large canals, one
12.75 miles in length and the other
nine miles, to lands lying in the La
Bajada, Capa del Rio, San Domingo
Pueblo and the Cieneguilla grants.
This project will eventually cost in
the neighborhood of $150,000. The
location of the reservoir is ideal and
together with the slope of the coun-
try the construction work labors will
be reduced to a minimum. Owing to
the fact that there were a number OF
community settlements along this
stream which have acquired water
rights through beneficial use for a
great many years. This application
was approved with the provision "that
such works shall not be used to the
detriment of prior valid rights"
which protects these holdings per-
fectly.

Both Occupied Taxicab when
Deed was Committed
Early This Morning.

Reading, Pa, Feb. 17.-While
speeding along in a taxicab here
early this morning, Stella Rocktashel,
eighteen years old, was shot and
killed and her companion, George E.
Knaut, twenty years old, after direct
ing the chauffeur to hurry to the hos
pital, shot himself through the heart
with the same revolver that had
killed the girl, dying almost instantly.
Whether it had been quarrel or the
two agreed to die together is not def
nitely determined. Kraut was tele-
phone inspector. Yesterday he asked
several acquaintance to lend him a
revolver, saying he wanted to go to
a masquerade ball.. AS there was no
public masquerade ball in town last
night, the police are Of the opinion
that the case was one of predmedi-
tated murder and suicide. The cou-
pie engaged taxicab in the business
section Of town about 2 o'clock this
morning and ordered the chauffeur in
the direction of their home on the
north side. When In the vicinity of
his home, the chaffeur was startled
by shot and the young man ordered
him to drive to a hospital. AS he
was waiting at the hospital door,
second shot rang out. An examina-
tion showed that both were dead.

DYNAMITE CONSPIRACY
TO ROB MILLIONAIRE
Police Of Kansas City On Track Of
Participants In Attempt at Das-
tardly Crime.

Kansas City, Feb. 17.-That S. H.
Garnett, the man who yesterday at
tempted to extort $1,000 from Law
renee NJ. Jones, the millionaire dry
goods merchant by the display of a
dynamite bomb, had accomplices is
asserted positively by the police to-
day. The officers are working on
the theory that two or more men and
possibly a woman are concerned in
the plot. The real estate agent who
rented the house in Independence,
which Garnett fitted up with chains
with which to impirson Jones, asserts
than an elderly, well-dressed man en-
gagged the place. She said that he
and his brother, stockman from
Omaha and the brothers wife are in
valids. The day after, the neighbors
saw two men and woman walking
about the second story as if inspect
ing the floor. Garnett in his surly
manner refused again today to tell
his real name or anything Of his past
Garnett was arraigned today on
the charges of robbery and the at
tempt to rob. He pleaded guilty to
both charges and as he waived the
right of preliminary hearing, was
bound over to the criminal court.
Garnett expressed regret for the
whole affair saying he had no inten-
tion of killing any one. He was out
of money and work and was suffer-
ing from tuberculosis. He said he
had no accomplices and the police
are inclined to give up the early idea
that he had been assisted by any
one.-

CALLING FOR SURRENDER.

Speakers slated for the meeting
this afternoon called by the Civic
Federation have outlined remarks do
voted almost wholly to- bitter Critl-
cism of American laws. They plan
to voice sentiments that will impress
those who may hear or read them
with the great burdens the American
Government has placed on the Shout
ders of the people Of Hawaii.
Unless this warning causes them
TO change their plan, they will not
sound one patriotic note. They will
not even acknowledge what great
benefits Hawaii has derived from its
status as a Territory identical in all
particulars with those of the main
land.
Criticism has been the key note
Just what the foreigner likes to hear,
since It means moro American money
to swell his Golfers.
How much better would 1t be for
the citizens when assembled at the
call Of though he he an in
vertebrate Americana they were To
express sincere sentiments of loyalty.
What a superior example the citi-
zcns would present to the old and
young II they stood staunchly ny
American interests first, last, and al
ways.
What grand thing it Is for Amer
leans to assemble in public meeting
and declare that by the American
flag and under the American flag, by
local support and with locally invest
ed capital in American enterprises,
they will conquer.
And how disgraccful. therefore, to
raise their voices in criticism of their
country and demand policy of sur
render to the foreigner.

THE AMERICAN W0RKINGMEN
DRIVEN 70 THE WALL.

The American skilled mechanic can
find no solace in the promise of the
suspensionists that he will be "all
right" under the suspension of the
coastwise laws.
The American skilled mechanic
was told this same story when the
Oriental went to work on the planta-
tions. He has lived to see the Amer
lean supplanted in the workshop not
only of the plantation but through
out the Islands and especially in the
city of Honolulu.
Steadily has the American wOrH-
ingman been forced into the back
ground and out of the Islands by the
Tuinous competition of the foreigner
who cannot become citizen. One
result is that today the building
trade of this city Is practically in the
hands of the nOncitiZen Asiatic, and
the money that he earns in building
the houses of the citizens is spent
with the foreign merchant.
What wonder that the pitirully
small number of American citizens
who find employment in the ships OF
our dwindling merchant marine
should view with alarm the cutlery
and stampede for legislation that will
further reduce their number and
wreck their opportunity for contin-
ued employment.

When the first period of temporary
suspension" elapsed. there were no
American ships to take up this in
creased traffic.
Why?
What capitalists would invest mil
lions Of dollars in steamships under
the American flag. knowing that they
had absolutely no assurance of the
application of the Coastwisc laws?
The gamble is too great. Monled
men will not take such chances.
The suspension OF the coastwise
laws as applied 10 the Philippines
.aiter having been extended from time
10 time has now become permanent.
The American merchant marine is
wiped absolutely from the face of the
waters 50 far as the Philippine Isl
Gnds are concerned
Just so surely will the suspension
OF the Coastwisc laws MS applied to
passengers between Hawaii and the
mainland strike the flag on American

same lines, the frclghter must soon

be touching at our ports when fresh
fruits may he rottinG on the docks.
Then the cutlery will be for further
relief, which Is surrender.
Men with capital cannot be at
tracted to b0ild ships costing mill
lions when they have such narrow
margin of protection against the
ruinous competition of the foreign
lines and so little assurance of the
patriotic support Of their own coun-
trymcn in Hawaii.
