WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Represen-
tative Cook called upon President
Roosevelt again today and talked with
him regarding the disputed Colorado
boundary line He left with the Pre-.
sident a letter written by a former
United States Commissioner for Colo
RADIO, Charles A. Johnson of Durango,
giving history of the boundary sur
veys. Mr. Johnson attributes the al
legged inaccuracies of the original sur.
vey made by Engineer Darling, to the
fact that when made in 1868. the Ute
Indians were troublesome along the
Colorado border. An escort consisting
OF a Lieutenant and 100 troopers was
furnished Darling during part OF the
time of the making of the survey. This
and the lack of proper opportunities
fortaking observations made Darling's
survey unreliable and inaccurate, he
says. President Roosevelt showed a
great deal of interest in Mr. Johnson g
letter, and asked Mr.. Cook to again
see him in reference to the boundary
question.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-It became
; known today that Speaker Canon has
withdrawn his opposition to having
= Arizona and New Mexico admitted to
the Union as states at this session OF
Congress. Two bills, one introduced
by William II. Andrews, territorial
: delegate from New Mexico. and the
other by Marcus A. Stith, delegate
! from Arizona, are to be combined into
one and put through by James E. Wat.
son of Indiana. and Edward l.. Hamil.
ton of Michigan. The chairman of the
committee on territories will report
the bill favorably at once, and they
will be called up for passage week
from Tuesday. The withdrawal of
the Speakers opposition is based on
the fact that the President let It be
known today, that he would like to
have the bill passed before leaving
the White House, thereby enabling
him to leave the White House office
with no territories left. 1t is under
stood that Senator Beveridge will
fight the bill for admission of the ter
ritories in the senate and will, as he
says, Talk It to death" This is be
cause President-elect Taft does not
wish Arizona and New Mexico to be-

of these states during his administra
