HOPE FOR THE
STATEHOOD BILL
Senate Will Be Loath to Block Act
That Has Been Endorsed BY Both
Parties and the People.
to The New Mexican.

opetIdl " ! lie view MEXICAN.
Washington, D. c., Feb. GA state
hood bill being a question Of the
highest privilege, it can be called up
at any time, and when so called up
not even conference report can dis
place the bill without the consent of
the person having the bill in charge.
And still all indications are that when
the bill is called up for action that it
will have the unanimous vote of the
House, including Democrats and Re-
publicans. 1t is believed that with
the unanimous vote of the House it
will have great influence to carry the
bill through the Senate; for it is not
thought that any Senator will wish to
oppose publicly bill that has such a
strong support from the representa-
tives so lately endorsed by the peo-
pie; and particularly as immediate
statehood for New Mexico and Ari-
zona was an important plank in both
the Democratic and Republican plat
forms in the last national election.
Chairman Hamilton, of the commit.
tee ON territories, has been in confer
ence at different times with the presi-
dent, the secretary of the interior, and
numerous members of the Senate with
the object of having the measure meet
the approval of all in order to minimize
or eradicate all opposition and, if pos
sible. to insure the prompt passage OF
the bill. The bill provides grants OF
land to both territories for the varl-
GUS territorial institutions and to pay
debts of counties SO that they will
start in the new state with practically
clean records. This has been done in
some cases to the territories that have
been granted statehood. These grants
of land are to be primarily for the
purpose of liquidating certain terri
torial debts. A thorough investlga-
tion of the debts, both county and ter
ritorial. has been made with the object
of determining how much land should
be granted by the bill. New Mexico
will have two representatives and All
zona one-at-large in the House. New
Mexico may divide into districts al
ter the next census when the popula'
ton of the counties can be ascef'
tanned.

PERPETRATE BOMB
THROWING OUTRAGES

New York, Feb. 6.-Scores of people
We're thrown into panic and the
lives of several tiny scarlet fever suf-
ferers may be lost as a result of the
explosion of a bomb outside of the
vestibule of an East Seventy-fifth
street tenement house early today.
The police believe that the "black
hand" is responsible for the outrage,
as they say an Italian grocer, who oc-
cupied the store on the ground floor
of the building, had received threat
ening letters. The latter denies this.
When the explosion smashed the win
dows and wrecked the ceiling of the
tenement the tenants fed to the
street carrying several small children
i'll with scarlet fever.

WILL ATTEMPT TO
OVERRIDE VETO

Washington. Feb. Gan attempt
will be made in the House, according
to the plans of the House leaders, to
pass the census bill over the veto Of
the President. The veto message of
the President said it is important
that the taking of the census should
not be open to suspicion of bias on
personal and political grounds and
that it shall be so conducted as not
to be waste of the peoples money
or become a farce. He characterizes
the section Of the act providing that
the appointments to take the census,
be by non-competitive examination, as
a fraud upon the public"

NEVADA'S ACTION
TREATED WITH INDIFFERENCE

Toxic, Feb. 6.-The adoption by the
lower house of the Nevada legislature
OF the anti-Japanese resolution has
been received here with Indifference.
The leading newspapers in comment
ing upon the action called attention to
the fact that Nevada is only a small
state and did not necessarily repre-
sent the sentiment of the American
people. Foreign Minister Komura, in
addressing the House Of Lords today
repeated verbatim his speech made in
the diet few days ago. The remarks
caused no discussion.

NO PARDON FOR
ELMER PRICE
Brought Great Pres
sure to Bear Upon
Executive
NATIONAL INTEREST IN CASE
Crime for Which He Was
Convicted Was Afro
cious One.

Pressure, national in it's extent,
was brought to bear upon Governor
Curry yesterday when an application
for the pardon of Elmer l.. Price, a
convict in the Territorial penitentiary,
was placed before the chief executive.
The application for the pardon was
accompanied by letters from at least
a dozen Representatives in Congress
and several United States Senators.
The prisoners representative in the
case was Judge Clifton j. Fratt of
Kentucky, who presented credentials
from the governor of Kentucky. Judge
Pratt has been on the circut. bench
and attorney general of HIS State. He
brought With hnn d pctl:lon signed
by every member o. the supreme
Court of Kentucky asking for the PAR
don of Price. He also submitted ieti-
tions signed bv many citizens of
Roosevelt, Chaves and Eddy counties,
Price having been a resident OF the
lower Pecos valley al the time OF his
conviction
An Atrocious Crime.
The history of Prices crime is still
fresh in the minds of the people of
this territory. Price was "a news
vendor on the Pecos Valley & North
eastern passenger train and was in
August, 1907, convicted of murder
and sentenced to life imprisonment
in the territorial penitentiary. The
victim of the murder was Conductor
Curtis who had forbidden Price to an.
noy women passengers on the train
Price resented this and drawing a
revolver shot Curtis twice in the alb
domen and as Curtis turned his back
to fee, deliberately shot the sorely
wounded man in the back causing his
death. Curtis was universally re
spected and liked, and his murder
came as a shock to the community
1t is believed that those who signed
the petitions to pardon Price were
not aware of the details and circum
stances of his crime. That Price has
influential friends, is shown conclus
lively by the array OF distinguished
men who attempted to secure his re
lease.
Pardon Denied.
At the conclusion of the hearing
Governor Curry made the unqualified
statement that no pardon would bt
granted the prisoner by the presen
executive of the territory. Permis
sion was given Judge Pratt to with
draw from the executive files the pc
tition signed by the members of thu
Supreme Court of Kentucky.

OPERA IN ENGLAND.
Great Project for Foundation of
London Home for Productions.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. July PA great project
for the foundation of opera in England
is under consideration. it's realization
being largely due to the promise which
has been made by a munificent patron
OF the arts of sum of $1,500.000.
The scheme in all probability will in
clude the acquisition of a commanding
site in London and the erection thereon
of an opera house fully worthy of the
first city Of the world. but no detailed
plan has yet been drawn up.
A preliminary meeting will be held in
London next week, at which it is hoped
that the main lines of a great practical
scheme will be developed. The iden-
tity of the donor of the large sum
which is the basis of the enterprise can
not at present be disclosed. but 1T will
probably be found to coincide with that
of a public benefactor whose name is
we'll known all over the world. and who
is a near relative of one of the ablest
and most enterprising of the younger
conductors.
Besides the production of number
Of new operas by English composers.
the promoters are considering the pos
sibilities of reviving some of the older
operatic works.

village near ST. Austell. Cornwall
\ strolling photographer was Cupid $
agent in the matter. He took some pho
tographs of the village festival last sum
mer. and in one OF the groups which APP
peared subsequently on picture post
card, there was the photograph of Miss
Rosina Harper. laughing girl of six
teen.
The next move was made by Mrs. Phil
lips. one of the villagers. As her daugh-
ters picture also appeared in the post
card. she sent copy to her son. working
in a miners camp in British Columbia.

from home are wont to do, until it
reached Tony" Metassa. handsome six
foot Nea politan-who was however, a
naturalized British subject.
Even the lady passing by of whom
Herrick sings could not have captivated
her swain more suddenly than the picture
of smiling Rosina Harper captivated
Young Metassa. He asked his friend
Phillips whether he might send line to
Cornwall in the next letter home. Phil
lips readily consented. and so Miss Har-
per received her first letter from her un-
and from the miners camp.
At last there came one to Cornwall
which spoke of a coming visit to England
Metassa told how anxious he was to see
the sights of the country: but when he
landed close in the wake of his letter he
did not seem particularly anxious to
visit the tower of London and Stafford
on-Avon. Instead he hurried down to
Tre2rehan. which is quite out of the track
of the ordinary tourist.

There will be a weeks honeymoon, and
then Metassa will go back to British Co

tune. and to get little home ready for

WILMA, Russia, July 24.-Terrible de-
tails of a desperate conflict between a
number of convicts and the guards of the
prison yesterday were made public today.
Yesterday one of the guards entered the
cell in which four convicts were confined.
He had scarcely opened the door when
they made rush at him and one of them
cut his throat with knife. They took
his keys and revolvers and released other
prisoners from an adjoining cell. The
eight then dashed along the corridor and
attacked and killed two guards who at
tempted to stop them, cutting their
threats and taking their revolvers.
Killed Right and Left.
On reaching the courtyard they shot
down a guard who was stationed there
and started climbing the prison wall. The
sentinel at the gate opened fire on them
with his carbine, killing one of them on
the spot and severely wounding another.
The survivors got clear Of the prison
and ran out into the streets. Two OF
them, with daggers, attacked the first
policeman they met, inflicting fatal
wounds.
\ short distance further they met an
other policeman with drawn sword. A
furious fight ensued. The convicts We're
no match for the policeman, who, With a
single slash for each, decapitated the two
men.
The three remaining convicts stole some
Workmen's clothing and thus disguised
continued their flight. They were closely
pursued and took refuge in clump OF
bushes. A fusilade of shots riddled one,
and another, being severely wounded,
placed his revolver in his mouth and blew
off the top of his head. The third man
aged to escape and is still at large. The
authorities endeavored to keep the mat
ter quiet, but too many people had been
witnesses of the incident.
Other Prisoners Frenzied.
The 200 prisoners remaining in their
cells became frenzied and had they OBJ
tanned their liberty a general massacre Of
officials would have followed.
The authorities are not blamed for the
killings Additional guards have been
placed on duty to prevent further out
break
