REBUKED BY MR.. TAFT.
He Corrects Some Ne1o Me1ican
Sneakers on Statehood.

Albuquerque. N NJ, Oct. 16.-At the dinner in his
honor here last night President Taft rebuked some
local speakers who had made some testy remarks
on the subject OF statehood. They had expressed
some doubt that the Republican party really meant
to grant statehood TO New Mexico and Arizona, de-
spite the earnest declarations the President had
made that subject in a speech here in the after
noon. They had argued and harangued for two
hours while the President sat patiently listening
Then he arose and declared that he was like a
judge he once knew, who at the end OF long argu-
gument by counsel remarked: Mr.. Wolfe. in spite
of your argument, still with you.''
A B. Fall. ex-Attorney General of the territory,
was one of the speakers He said New Mexico
might possibly be admitted now that the Repub-
lican party had entered into a contract on the
subject. For" he asserted eff the party had not
agreed to admit US to the Union the Gompers anti
injunction plank would surely have been written
into the platform"
The President answered this sharply
Lest it go down without contradiction" he said
Il want to say that there never any chance Of
the passage Of what Mr.. Gompers requested In the
Republican convention The resolution I wanted
passed on the subject OF injunctions was defeated
and resolution milder In form was put In. That
is history. and don't want history to be recorded

they had the chance He also spoke OF the right Of

President. land it is not right until 1t is &C.

I'VE were entitled to statehood in 1913 under a
treaty. interrupted Mr. Fall.
Now, you would not argue that you were en-
titled to be state in 1913 and have two Senators
in Washington when there were fifteen territories
between you and Washington that did not have
statehood" said the President. LET us be SEN
sible. am not contending against your coming in
1 am only contending that you should come in

THE gentleman across the table used the term
possible as IL he still suspects my sincerity and
good will, Well. of course man cannot do any
more than promise and then try and carry 1t out.

100000 worth of property and cost the life Of one

ings which already exist between the United
States and Mexico will be a guarantee Of the
continuance Of the friendly. cordial and strong
relations between the people OF the two coun-
tries and that success and prosperity will fol-
low"
President Taft replied;
This is the first time. so far as know, that
a President Of the United Stat has stepped
beyond the border OF the United States either
on the north or on the south. and esteem it a
great privilege to be the President at the time
when that event has happened. I hope it is
significant OF the tightening Of the bonds be-
tween the two countries. Railroads and other
means Of communication like the telegraph
have brought us closer TO each other, so that
the city Of Mexico and the city OF Washington
are far nearer to-day than they ever were be-
fore.
And that means a closer union Of feeling be-
tween the two peoples. closer feeling between
those responsible for the government Of each
country, and esteem it the greatest honor Of
my life to have the privilege of representing the
United States in such significant ceremony"
II thank you very much" answered President
Diaz

the Mexican army: also his nephew. General

MR.. TAFT RETURNS VISIT.
Less than an hour after President Diaz had
Withdrawn MI Taft was on his way TO Juarez
TO return the call.
He was received at the Mexican end Of the
bridge by all the troops gathered there as az

the same honors and distinction as had marked
the visit Of the Mexican Executive to this
country.
Mr.. Taft found the little Mexican frontier city
a veritable cloud of waving colors. This rough

with the national cOiOrs Of Mexico and the

iourneyed from the bridge end TO the custom

William Williams, the new commits
sioner Of immigration for the port of
New York. returns to that post to
and reconstruction begun by him seven
years ago after his appointment by
former President Roosevelt. Then
Williams remained less than three
years IN office, resigning abruptly
when DEMONSTRATING on Ellis island
was In full swing. No explanation
was forthcoming at Washington. and
none could be obtained at that time
from the retiring commissioner.
His action was as unexpected by his
subordinates as by the public. and the
day that he left the island every man
and woman and boy on the govern
ment payroll, although many of them
had felt the silent mans sharp disci-
pline. was In the big hall to shake
hands and say goodby.
Just to show what they thought of
him the employees produced a huge
silver loving cup. which cost some
thing like 500. and testimonial con-
tanning a picture Of Ellis island and
200 autographs.
When asked the reason for such
demonstration In honor Of a man who
had caused the upheaval and disturb

the men said.

he could get square deal from the

Evidently President Taft thinks that
this man and his ideas on reform are
not 80 visionary as the advisers of
President Roosevelt would have had
him believe. Williams was prevailed
upon to take up his work again solely
upon the grounds that 1t was a public
duty which he could not decline. He
did decline at first, but the argument
Of the president finally prevailed. and
the quiet man Of Ellis island goes back
to that important station satisfied that
this time he will have free hand in
the task before him.

He began practice In New York In the
fall OF 1883 and has been q resident Of
that city ever since.
In 1928 Williams acted as junior
counsel for the United States In the
Bering sea arbitration In Paris. Five
years later. when war with Spain was
declared. he left his law practice and
went out as u private with the war

ability were soon rewarded by promo

President Roosevelt In 1902 asked
him TO 20 to Ellis island. and he &C

The president publicly commended
him for his administration, Yale uni

Of master of arts upon him. and he re-
