Washington, Aug. S.--That Presl-

diana, before the house committee in
vestigatng expenditures in the agri-

Mr. Bingham said that state Chem

fled today had to get an order from
the court in 1909 before they could
take the testimony of DR.. Wiley ana
his associates to aid them in an lndi-
ana suit over the state pure food law.
Mr.. Bingham testified that Solocitor
McCabe hnd advised Dr. Wiley and
his assistants they could not be COM
PEELED to testify. Rather than force the
matter into the courts, Mr.. Bingham
went to President Taft, to see whether
the latter had any objection to DR..
Wiley giving testimony that might
bring the Remsen boards findings
and Secretary Wilson's into question.
Mr. Bingham said President Taft
treated 1t as a department matter and
saw no reason why the government
chemists should not give their tesu-
money. The state of Indiana encount-

DELEGATE ANDREWS COMES
IN FOR HARSH CRITICISM

santa Fe " NJ. Aug. SIN Santa
Re the news of the passage Of the
Flood resolution was received with
mixed feelings of rejoicing and regret.
MANY among the old Stand-pat ele-
ment there were. who did not hesitate
70 declare that they would have pre-
terred To wait until next year or long
er II they could only have New Mex
leo enter the union without having TO
again vote on any portion of her con-
sutuuon. Others and these were in
the majority. We're inclined to ceie-
hrate the passage of the Flood reso-
luton as the actual achievement of
statehood. They gave little credence To
the report that the president would
veto the resolution, and even if he
did, they insist that the senate and
house would promptly pass IL again
over his veto. Delegate Andrews was
somewhat harshly criticised for his
attitude of opposition toward the
Flood resolution. The announced de-
termination of the delegate To do ev-
erything In his power 10 further the
approval of the resolution was con-
sidered an eleventh. hour repentance,
and several prominent republicans eX-
pressed the opinion that il would
avail him little in the event that he
becomes candidate for office when
the state government is organized.
Delegate Andrews sudden change of
position is regarded by many as sure
indication that the Flood resolution
will not be killed by veto. Private
advices, said to have been received in
Santa te this evening were To the ef-
feet that the house has determined to
keep congress in session until the pres
ident has acted upon the resolution

program is to at once reintroduce the

AGED CH|CkASAW
HUNTS BURIED
TREASURE
Hundred Year Old Indian Says
His Tribesmen Hid Vast Store
of Silver in Cave in Southern
Missouri,
fBy Morning journal Special Isassd wirel

lBy Morning journal Special Teascd Wircl
Exeter, Mo-, Aug. S--After spending
several weeks hunting for a treasure
which he says he helped hide more
than eighty years ago, Big Keyes. a
Chickasaw Indian, has returned to
his home in oklahoma. Keyes who
says he Is more than hundred years
old. tells that the treasure, which con-
sisted of silver was buried by his
tribe in a cave on the White river in
Southwest Missouri
According to the old Indian his
tribe had been driven out of Georgia
and went to northern Arkansas and
southern Missouri, where they lived
along the course of the White river
Here they discovered a rich silver
mine and for years the Indians mined
the metal and melted II into bars.
Then fearing an attack of the white
settlers, the silver was placed in a
cave, rock rolled in the mouth and
earth piled over ii.
The attack which was feared, Kcycs
says. was caused by reports of the
finding by them Of the silver.
After hiding their treasure the In
dians went to Oklahoma and keyes
though a young man, marked the
trail which led to the cave. Every
summer for many years the old indian
has returned and attempted to locate
the cave.
Old landmarks made on rocks. he
says he has found, but the mark which
designated the entrance to the cave
was made on a huge elm tree. This
tree he cannot find The mark Is the
picture carved In the tree of an Indian
preparing TO shoot an arrow from a
bow.

MORNING JOURNAL BULLETIN
FIRST NEWS OF STATEHOOD

Washington. D. c.. Aug. S.-Fol-
lowing the defeat Of the Nelson
amendment by the vote Of 2G to 43,
the senate passed the Flood statehood
resolution, SO to Is. Senators Perkins,
Warren Stephenson, Guggenheim
Cullom and several others, who had
voted for the Nelson amendment, also
voted for the Flood resolution
This dispatch, signed by the special
correspondent Of the Morning journal
at Washington, and received here at
6 o'clock in the evening, was the first
news the people of Albuquerque mad
of the passage of the statehood geso-
luton in the senate. A few minutes
later the following was received from
Mr.. p. F. McCanna, a member of the
statehood delegation recently sent TO
Washington by the Commercial club:
Washington, ID. c.. Aug. S.-Flood
resolution passed SO to Is. Nelson
amendment defeated.---P. f. McCan-
ma.
The news spread rapidly throughout
the city and many and various were
the comments. Enthusiasm was at
first somewhat lacking because of the
oft quoted declaration of President
ton that did not eliminate the judicial
recall from the Arizona constitution.
In view, however. of the unexpe1l ed
ly large vote for the Flood resolution,
it was generally conceded that the
chances of presidential veto were
mimimized. The opinion was every
where expressed that the president
would scarcely feel called upon to We
to a resolution that had mustered
more than a two-thirds vote in toth
houses Democratic leaders who
have fought for the clause In the reso-
luton providing for another vote on
the amendment clause of the New
Mexico constitution, We're frankly ju-
bilant and did not hesitate to predict
that the president would never veto
the resolution. 1t was pointed out by
a prominent democrat last night that
il has been many years since any head
of civilized nation, with the sole
exception of the czar of Russia in the
case OF Finland has attempted to die
tate what Il constitution, framed and
ratified by a free people, should or
should not contain Even those who
were bitterly opposed to the recall and
the rest of the so-caled progressive
ideas of government were willing TO
concede the right of the people of Ari-
2ona to have any sort of constitution
they desired, so long as it was repub-
lican in form and did not conflict
with the constitution Of the United
States.
The resolution, as passed by the sem
ate will at once go to the house where
the minor amendments will be con-
CURED in on the floor without refer

Washington, Aug. s.-The bill
granting statehood to New Mexico
and Arizona, legislation that has been
urged for many years by the people
of those territories, was passed by the
senate tonight, SO to is, after re-
lection Of the Nelson amendment
which proposed striking out of the
Arizona constitution its Judiciary re-
call provision.
The bill as passed by the senate
differs only slightly from the house
measure and it is said may be unsat-
sfactory to President Taft. He has
contended all along that he would be
glad to sign the statehood bill il the
Nelson amendment prevailed, but that
il was grave question whether he
would be willing TO sign it If the
amendment were defeated, as IL was
43 to e. The indications are tonight
that the bill viii become a law with
out his signature. The senate amended
thAhQpse bill with two minor changes
NeW gla61a proposed amendments
to It's redSisiefhtion. These will un-
doubtedly Ab4t agreed to by the house
and the bhkfwill be expedited to the
White HousNk These amendments
were reported ny the senate commits
tee on territories and agreed to with
out debate.
Practically all the debate on the bill
conferred around the Nelson amend
ment. Even some senators who declar-
ed their opposition to the recall OF
Judges voted against the amendment
on the ground that if the people OIL
Arizona desired the recall as part or
their system OF government 1t was tor
them and not for congress To say
whether they should have H.
The bill as passed compels Arizona
as condition precedent to entry in
to the union, to submit the recall pro-
position to the voters for final de-
cision as to whether 1t shall remain
in their constitution. New Mexico must
vote on the proposition embodied in
the bill which would make the con-
stitution of the state easier of amend
ment
The test vote came on the Nelson
amendment which was lost.
After this had been defeated IL was
thought the bin would be adopted
without division. but Senator Barley
called for the ayes and nays. Senators
Bradley of Kentucky and OGormah
Of New York, voted for the Nelson
amendment. The same two members
with Senator Bailey voted against tne
final passage of the measure as ana
two progressive republicans, Senators
Bristow of Kansas and Kenyon OF
Iowa. The others who voted against
the admission of the territories were
