INVESTIGATION OF DELAY IN
REPORT OF INVESTIGATION

washington, Jan. 26.-Representa-
tive Hitchcock of Nebraska sprang a
sensation in the house of representa-
tives today by demanding an investi-
cation of the irregular proceeding
which has resulted in a delay of
forty-nine days in getting the reports
OF the Ballinger- Pinchot investigating
commission report printed and Into
the hands of members of the house.
An acrimonious debate followed, in
which Speaker Cannon took an active
part, resenting what he termed an
implied criticism of the chair.
The house. after listening to vari-
Gus explanations ~ to the probable
cause of delay, voted almost unani-
mously in support of resolution
ordering an investigation by the COM
mittee on rules.
The resolution was introduced by
Mr.. Hitchcock. 1t requested an in
vestigation and report within one
week.
A former resolution by Mr.. Hitch
cock stated that three reports were
received from the committee on in
sharply criticised the unexplained
delay doubt and mystery In refer
ring said reports to the committee on
agriculture. The resolution set forth
that the reference was not made until
December 10. The committee did not
receive the printed reports until yes
terday.
During that period" continued the
resolution, they were neither upon
the speakers table nor in the hands
OF the committee on agriculture. &
Therefore. Resolved, that these ir-
regular proceedings are thus mislead-
ing and improper treatment of these
reports, rendering them for six weeks
unavailable and inaccessible and con-
stitute a violation of the proper pro-
cedure of the house and the commit
tee on rules be, and 1t is hereby d.
rected, to investigate and report to
the house within one week the renson
for the delay and irregular treatment
OF these reports"
Speaker Cannon said he knew
nothing of why the delay should have
occurred. Mr.. Cannon intimated that
10 Mr.. Hitchcock had been present In
the house oftener In the last few
weeks and he had earlier called at
tention to the matter. there might
not have been SO much delay.
Mr. Hitchcock replied that the
speakers criticism was not justified.
THE chair" said the speaker. has
no objection to any Investigation that
may be made. The chair only desires
that a member of the house should
not place the chair, the committee

Boston, Jan. 26.-Aiming blow at
his enemies and declaring that the
endeavors of many advocates of re-
form and progress OF the present day
seemed to be to haul everything out
by the roots, Secretary Ballinger in a
speech before the banquet of the
alumni of williams college here to-
night emphasized the point that a
good man could not be pulled down
and that the work of his head and
hands would be steadier because OF
the shocks of battle.
II heard have enemies in Boston"
said Secretary Ballinger. We'll, no
matter, they. like my other enemies,
probably are too incorrigible to war
rant embittering my temper over the
wrongs they have done me, and 1t IS
indelicate for me to exhibit my scars
to you on a festive occasion.
II am no pessimist, but am old
fashioned enough to believe in the in
stitutions of our fathers and that
they will be preserved, notwithstand-
ing new tangled ideas of government
or the flaming fanaticlsm of tho
crusaders. One would suppose with
our opportunities of culture, refine
ment and general education that sta
bility in all things would be the order
of the day, but the contrary is most
evident--to haul everything out by
the roots and keep the roots exposed
to be the aim of many advocates Of
reform and progress.
But most men, l am sure, enjoy
the distinction of being upbuilders
rather than uplifters. They like to
rear and leave behind them monu-
ments of genuine accomplishments"
Pleading for evidences of more good
men, the secretary said the trouble
seemed to be that bad men talk loud
er than they used to, and what was
needed was more good men to pitch
their voices little higher. sSsf s..s'
II trust that 1t may be long before
the narrow and sordid view of life
shall possess our people of the great
west" continued the secretary. "A
pioneer people are always those with
the courage and patience to endure
and vicissitudes and to
conquer nature and the wilderness.
Your ancestors did 1t in New Eng
land and what they did In the early
centuries of American settlement is
now being done beyond the mountains
of the western ranges-better than
was done by them. AS the east has
given birth to the settlement of the
west let her retain her sympathy for
all that is good in the development
Of the west, not upon mercenary
grounds, but from the higher motives
of common citizenship and common
kinship."

RIDERLESS AND BLOODY.

Eagle Pass, Tex, Jan. 26.-Nine
riderless horses with the hats of their
late riders attached to the saddles,
two of the saddles also bearing blood
stains, were found on the outskirts of
Cuidad Porilrio Diaz, across the river
from this city today.
The animals were identified as
those ridden by rurales who left ten
days ago to do scout duty on the
river. Whether their riders were
killed in the battle near San Carlos
last Saturday or whether the rurales
were ambushed and killed by insur-
gents Is not known.

that may be heralded on its face as
accurate, accepted possibly as a fact,
by the ever-vigilant-and fair-press
of the country until In an orderly
course of procedure, and without
prejudice. the facts may be OBJ
tanned"
1t was then the sub-resolution was
offered. Representative Scott OF
Kansas, chairman of the committee
on agriculture. declared that the de-
lay. according to a report from the
government printing Office, had been
due to the necessity of preparing a
lithograph map Of Alaska.
THAT shows another reason for this
investigation,n shouted Mr.. Hitch
cock, "your explanation is entirely
different from the speakers"
II said the delay might have been
due to extra copies" said the speaker,
with bang of the gavel. Matters
Of this kind pass beyond the view
of the speaker. AS far as the speaker
and his force are concerned, this mat
ter has been handled according to
the law, the rules and the practice
of the house. If the gentleman from
Nebraska Is as anxious to have the
facts as the chair is, without sensa-
tional statements, the chair is en-
tirely satisfied"
The resolution, after some further
debate, was adopted. II developed
later that the reports did not pass
through the speakers hands, but
were marked for reference 10 the
committee on agriculture in the usual
way and ordered to be printed
Meantime. word came from the
senate that Senator Nelson had in
troduced a concurrent resolution, pro-
viding for the printing of 5000 extra
copies. Pending action on this reso-
luton. an order for printing was held
up in the clerks office. The resolu-
tion did not come from the senate
until December 13 and was not passed
by the house until December 90.
In holding up the reports from
the printer the clerk in charge had
overlooked, 1t was stated, having the
reference noted in the journal of the
house until December 10.

As Details Of Excursion to
National Capital Are Being
Worked Out, Interest in Prop
oSition Grows Rapidly.
ASSORTMENT OF ROUTES
GOING AND RETURNING
Many Letters and Inquiries Be-
ing Received Regarding
Journey and Likely That Big
Bunch VIII Go.

Like a SNOWFALL rolling downhill,
the proposed statehood excursion OF
representative New Mexicans to Wash
ington, carrying the returns of the
ratification of the constitution on a
special train, is gathering momentum
at every turn and the indications now
are that at least hundred and twen-
ty-flve will make the trip.
Further details of the proposed ex-
cursion are gradually being worked
out each day and enthusiasm for
the journey is spreading to all parts
of New Mexico. Many inquiries are
being received by letter and by tele-
graph, regarding the trip, the time
Of departure from Albuquerque, ar
rival in Washington, stopover privi-
leges, and the round trip fare.
Through w. A. Cameron, travelling
freight and passenger agent for the
Santa Fe, the telegraph wires are be-
ing slightly melted obtaining the ne
cessary information and things are
now in such q shape that definite
plan with approximate cost may be
presented. Two or three different
routes are at the option of the excursi-
onists and different rates would be In
effect for each route. A rate of
eighty-four dollars and seventy cents
for the round trip has been quoted,
going via st. Louis to Washington.
and returning direct to Albuquerque
via Chicago. A rate of ninety dollars
ard fifty cents for each passenger is
quoted from Albuquerque to WASH
ington to New York, and from New
York to Albuquerque via Chicago. In
each case cost of twenty-seven dol
lars for Pullman fare must be figur-
ed in addition to the straight round
trip fare.
The railroads will arrange to furnish
special service from Albuquerque to
Washington and return, which means
that special trains will be run to and
from the national capital. However,
arrangements can be made for return
individually. via New York or Chica-
go. In other words the railroad COM
panies will be as liberal in the mat
tiers of routes and stopovers as pos
sible, and all these incdentals, to-
gether, will mean a great deal to
many who desire to stop over in the
east on purchasing and other business.
II is doubtful IL there has ever been
made a lower rate between Albuquer-
que and Washington than eighty-four
dollars and the running of the state
mood special will afford an excellent
opportunity to take run to the ma
tonal capital, see how things are do
ing there at this session. and help to
make noise like real live wire son
oi New Mexico, in helping to celebrate
'he entrance of the territory into the
union.
All in all, the indications are that
When the Statehood Special leaves AL
