APPEAL TO ASTRONOMERS
TO KEEP EYE ON PLANETS
Eminent Scientists Want Others tc
Cooperate in Watching Newly
Discovered Asteroids

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Feb. 2S--An
appeal to astronomers to cooperate in
following the movement of newly dis
covered asteroids, or minor planets,
has been issued by Prof. Edward @.
Pickering of the Harvard observatory,
and Rev. j. H. Metcalf, the eminent
Taunton astronomer.
Rev. Mr.. Metcalf says: q now have
about fifteen new asteroids which have
been discovered sufficiently long to
assure good orbits.
1t was supposed these were being
computed at the naval observatory at
Washington. But a recent letter from
the acting superintendent shows such
is not the intention"
Prof. Pickering says: THE discov-
erv of the asteroid Eros of the group
whose mean distance is approximately
that of Jupiter, and of the variation i'll
light of several asteroids, has given a
status to this department of astronom-
ical research which it did not have pre-
Viously.
For two or three years much useful
tory in following the asteroids found
by Mr.. Metcalf, and it is hoped that
the abandonment by the naval Observ-
atory is only temporary. 1t is emf
nently fitting that such work should be
carried on by the government. as IS
cone in Germany, since it cannot be
maintained at private observatories.
Meanwhile, some of the asteroids mem
toned will soon come to opposition.
Unless ephemerides for them are COM
puted they cannot be found and there
is danger that they will be perma-
nently lost"

REPLIES
TO ADVERSARY
Continued from Page One,

present speaker as representing the
interests'-whateve that may mean.
II confess 1 do not know, but 1 have
noticed the use of the expression by
those who, while ready to attack men
in public, still have a regard for the
libel laws and seek to discredit with
out assuming the responsibility for
simple and direct accusations which
they might have to prove or suffer the
consequences. Mr.. Higgins has this
same respect for the law while he APP
parently makes free to insinulte I'M
worthiness against lawmakers.
LAS to the criticisms Mr.. Higgins
makes of the rules and the administra-
ton of them by the speaker L need
not but say that his letter shows he
knows nothing of what he writes.
That will be evident to anyone who
has ever studied the rules or observed
carefully and honestly their admins
tration.
"A man, who without having studied
the law or practiced in the courts,
should criticise and denounce indis-
crininately the law and the courts,
simply because he had heard the COM
plants of lawyers who had lost their
cases, would receive from the COM
munity the attention to which his
ignorance and his presumption fairly
entitled him.
But it seems that anyone, after hav-
ing sat at the feet of persons dissatis-
fed with legislation, or disgruntled be-
cause of the failure of proposed legisla-
ton, may become a patriot and a
molder of opinion by denouncing the
rules which adjust the rights and re-
lations and secure the efficiency of a
body of 391 members representing the
complex interests of 90000,00 people,"

FORMER GOVERNOR OF

DID NOT MAKE ATTACK

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Feb. 2s.-
In a telegram from Albany, N. Y, Her
bert ]. Hagerman, former governor o.
New Mexico, denies the story sent out
from washington that he had attacked
the people of New Mexico before thu
senate committee on territories.
"I left Washington over a week ago.
said Mr.. Hagerman, and never APP
peared before the senate committee OF
had communication with it. w. II
Andrews and his friends cannot shift
responsibility for the defeat of state
hood when they brought about the con-
ditions which resulted in that de1eat.
New Mexico is entitled to statehood
but the present situation proves that
she cannot get it as long as discredit'
able men are chosen to represent hei
in Washington or elsewhere"
Mr.. Hagerman said the story thai
he had declared the people of New
Mexico unfit for statehood and litter
ate was absolutely false.

record as attorney general Tor rev
Mexico, and explains his position Win
reference to the investigation con-
Quoted by Special Prosecutor Ormsby
in charge of the department of Justice
who was sent to New Mexico by AL
tornev General Bonaparte, in connec-
ton with land frauds.
incidentally Judge Fall advances his
opinion as to the failure of the state
hood bill before the present session OF
congress.
According to Judge Fall, McHare
told a falsehood when he informed the
senate committee on territories thai
he had been hampered by the attorney
general of New Mexico in his land
fraud Investigations. Failure of state
hood he attributes to an unwllllnghess
to allow the senate to pass into the
control of radical or western legisla-
tors.
His statement is in part as follows:
"McHarg was not hampered here IN
any way If he has made statement
to that effect he lied to me when l met
him recently in Washington.
Statements Ridiculous
$50 far as the statements of Senator
Nelson are concerned they would DC
ridiculous if they were not INTENDED
solely for defeating statehood
~ told Mr.. Bonaparte that McHarS
was not competent to do the work IN
New Mexico, and that because OF ms
lack of experience and legal knowledge
he was not competent to represent the
United States in any position where he
had to use any discretion. He was
finally removed.
$50 far as Hagerman is COZ -erned ]
imagine any telegram he sent was al
the solicitation of Senator Beverage.
New Mexico has been territory
for the last fifty years. During the
past several years federal positions
have been filled by politicians from
other states, and the territories are still
full of those men who could not make
an honest living, and could not go back
to their own states. They do not want
to see the territory become state.
did you ever stop to consider the
number of senator's? Deduct the DEM
ocrats and see how many it requires tc
make a caucus
1.-TWO Republican senator's from New
Mexico would enable what is known as
western, or radical, rule to control abb
solutely in the United States senate
This is the whole sum of the opposition
to statehood for New Mexico"

Roosevelt Will Not Accompany Suc-

Elect Has Conference with
Chisf Executive

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-William H.
Taft will take the oath of office as pres
ident of the United States on the CEN
tury-old Bible which belongs to the
supreme court of the United States, and
by it is kept in custody.
There is a touch of sentiment in TINS
direction which Mr.. Taft announced to-
day with the statement that had he
been a member of the supreme court
his oath would have been taken on
identically the same book.
During the last few days there have
been many offers of Bibles to Mr.. Taft.
He has not declined the gifts, but MS
answer has been that it would nave
been impossible for him to receive them
for the purpose intended.
1t has been the custom of presidents
to use a new or b historic Bible in tax
ing their oaths of office, and each mas
retained the book thereafter.
Mr.. Taft will make no claim on the
Bible of his choice and it will go back
to the archives of the court for when
there are many evidences of a reVerent
respect and a lingering of fondness on
the part of Mr.. Roosevelt's successor
Precedent in another ancient IN
augural detail will be broken Thurs
day in the intention of President Roose-
welt to go from the inaugural cere-
monies at the capitol direct to his train
for oyster Bay, anu not lSlulh ~ 'hO
White House with Mr.. Taft.
Thus there will be a vacant seat III
the presidential carriage on its return
to the White House, and it is now pro
posed to have this seat occupied by
Mrs. Taft.
Goes to White House
From morning church services at the
Unitarian church, of which he is a
member, Mr.. Taft went to the Whlte
House today. where an hour was passed
with President Roosevelt in going over
that portion of Mr.. Taft's inaugural ad-
dress which discusses what is to be MS
policy respecting the foreign relations
of the country. -
Mr.. Taft said no material changes, If
any. would be made in the address he
said he had previously gone over the
whole document with Mr.. Roosevelt.
Senator Kittredge had an extendeu
interview with Mr.. Taft respecting the
Mann bill, providing for a government
for the Panama canal zone. The mea-
sure is intended to give leglSlallVe
authority for virtually the present sys-
tenn of government there, which was
established by executive rather thah
legislative authority.
The measure is approved by Mr. IaIt'
who is anxious that it become law.
The proposed mail subsidy for steam
ships was talked of between MI. Ialt
and Representatives OVerstreet ana
Lands of Indiana. These subsidies are
approved by Mr.. TAFT
Mr.. Taft said tonight he had as yet
given no thought to possible changes Ii;
the diplomatic service of the Unlteq
States, and any speculation when hau
been made in that direction had no
foundation as far as 1t might tenn 10
reDresent his ideas.
