SLAPPED A CONDUCTOR.
Major Tom Anderson Resented Lam
guage on Street Car.

A lively encounter on West Fourth
street car at 7:15 last night, with Major
T. j. Anderson and Conductor T. E.
Hamilton as principals, was witnessed
by several passengers as a closing
event of the old year. The trouble
started at Third and Clay streets,
where the car line ends.
Major and Mrs. Anderson We're COM
ing up town from their home at 215
Clay, a half block north of the end of
the line Conductor Hamilton says he
didn't see the couple running to the
car and when the time of leaving ar
rived pulled the string. The major
hailed the car, which stopped for him
in the middle of the block. Major An
derson wanted the car to back up to
Clay street for Mrs. Anderson. Hamil-
ton refused. An alteration followed in
which the major slapped his conductor
ship This was practically the extent
of the incident The car didn't back,
and Mrs Anderson was forced to foot
words between the Andersons and the
conductor continued on the way to
town, but there were no further physi-
cal demonstrations.
Major Anderson, in telling his side of
the story this morning. said: THE
conductor grew very impudent to me
in the presence of my wife, and slap
ped him a. good blow in the face. I re-
gret sincerely that the trouble occurred
but occasionally there are men that
have to be handled pretty roughly, and
this was one of these occasions. Some
of the young conductors who are
broken in on the West Fourth street
line. are entirely too officious and a
little rough handling properly admin
istered does world of good to such
misguided mortals."
The defense of Conductor Hamilton,
is that he was acting strictly according
to the rules of the company. The car
left the Clay street terminus on time
according to the statements of Me
Hamilton, and he had no authority to
order the car back to the end of the
line. 1t is also claimed that in stop
ping the car in the middle of the block,
an unusual favor was granted the An
dersonS.
AS the story of the scrap is told, Con-
ductor Hamilton did not offer any re-
turn strike, but took the blow like a
dutiful child. In conversation with
fellow conductor this morning, Con-
ductor Hamilton, in reply to a question.
said that the blow of Major Anderson
did not feaze him or leave any lasting
impression.

DASH FOR STATEHOOD.
New Mexico and Arizona VIII Swoop
Down on Congress.

Washington, Jan. New Mexico and
Arizona are preparing for another brill
liant dash for statehood after the close
of the holiday recess. This time they
will cooperate. but the effort will be
for two states instead Of one. Both ter
ritories are hopeful of success. New
Mexico has been trying for almost so
years to get into the Union and ART
IONA for almost half of that time. At
the beginning of each session of con-
gress their labors are renewed. So
far they have been doomed to disap-
pointment, largely owing to the feeling
among conservative eastern senators
and representatives that the territories
are not prepared for statehood. This OBJ
lection, the friends of the pending bills
contend, has gradually grown smaller
and smaller.
President Roosevelt has indicated to
Governor Curry of New Mexico and to
representatives of Arizona that he will
use his best efforts to further both bills
ritories have large and influential lob
bies at work for them. Western sena-
tors and representatives generally favor
the bills, and will urge that they be
taken up in both the senate and the
house as soon as possible.
Unquestionably. however, many of the
older senators and members are still
unconVinced of the desirability of Great
ing two new states and the fact that
only 60 days of the session remain, is
strongly against them.
If the measures are to succeed it viii
be necessary for them to have practi-
cally the unanimous support of both
houses of congress.
