INVESTIGATION OF
MARLEY CASE

The Live Stock Sanitary Board
have started an investigation to
prove ownership of some fifty or
more hides said to have been ta-
ken from the slaughter house OF
J. w. Marley & Co. These hides
were brought to Winslow and
put to soak in a pit in r. c. Cres-
wells corral and for the passed
TWO days Mr.. Creswell, assisted
by F. 7. Holden, deputy sheriff
OF Coconino county, also an of
ticer of the board, as we'll as nu.
merOus cattle men from Coconi-
no county, has been examining
these hides and locating the
brands thereon. Up till three
O'Clock Friday afternoon a total
of twenty-five hides had been ex-
amlned and the brands identi-
fed, and it is alleged that but
four OF the hides thus examined
bore the brands of Marley's. The
examination of the remaining
hides is still in progress and from
statements made by some of the
stock men present the case looks
rather serious for Mr.. Marley
and his sons.

SPECIAL SESSION MAY
LAST TWO MONTHS

Washington, D. c., March 5.
Notwithstanding the positive
ness with which President Taft
has repeatedly said. in all but
direct and official language, that
unless Congress should ratify the
Canadian reciprocity agreement,
he would summon an extra
session to resume consideration
of the subject, his fulfllment OF
that threat within two hours of
adjournment was an actual sur
prise to many members of Con
gress.
1t was especially SO in the Sen
ate. AS late as an hour before
final adjournment yesterday
leading Senators made bets there
would be no extra session.
Some go so far as to say that
if certain Senators had believed
the President would actually
make good his threat that they
would have made strenuous
efforts to pass the reciprocity
bill.
Whatever may be the truth
there can be no doubt that the
Presidents extra session procla-
nation met scant welcome at
the hands of those members of
Congress who, after the stress
of the last session, will hardly
have time to 60 home for a brief
respite to adjust their affairs be-
fore another session begins in
December.
Any prediction of the length of
the special session must be sheer
speculation. Democrats of the
House who will initiate tariff
legislation have had no time to
inaugurate plans.
The best informed leaders of
both parties realize that what
ever may be the sentiment thru
out the country there can be
no sudden reduction of customs
duties.
Some Democratic leaders have
come to the conclusion that they
have before them a greater work
than revision of the tariff. They
realize that the executive depart
ments are called upon to expend
a great sum of money as to the
result of public sentiment and
that Congress must supply ts1e
means for these expendi lures or
else cut the expenditures.

EXTRA SESSION Will
LET us IN
Belief of President

Washington, D. c., March s.
If the extra session to be called
in April passes a Joint resolution
approving the constitution ot
New Mexico, she may become a
state at once. This is stated
on proper authority to be the
view of President Taft
The Presidents view is that
generally taken = \ that
this session uses the words "next
regular session" to apply only
to tacit approval of the consti-
tuition. The first foregoing
sentence Congress and the Presi,
dent approve" does not specify
any particular session.
AS previously stated, it is evi-
dent that, failing positive ap-
proval at the extra session, New
Mexico will become a state at
the expiration of the following
regular session unless Congress
specifically disapproves.
Not Vote on New Mexico
1t is understood the President
as well as everyone else, does
not regard the vote on Owens S
freak Arizona amendment to the
House resolution as any test ol
the sentiment on New Mexico.
On the contary, the Owens s
proposition, a barefaced excuse
for a filibuster, served merely to
show what strength Arizona's S
constitution may command in
the Senate. The vote in no way
affected the status of the New
Mexico document.
Arizona Constitution Arrives
The constitution ratified by
the people of Arizona, with the
certified vote, has reached the
President and has been trans
mitted to the Attorney General
with instructions to examine and
make recommendation as to it's
approval or disapproval.
1t appears certain that Taft
will take action on the Arizona
constitution during the extra
session so that in the event OF
the approval, Congress may
take immediate action on state
hood for both territories.
