GREATEST STATE IN
union in 10 YEARS
THIS is PREDICTION MADE BY
HUGO sEABERe, IF. STATE
HOOD COMES

Denver. Aug. TO- Hip. Hip,
shouted out Hugo seaberg
Of Ration, N. NJ, in the lobby of
Denver hotel as he opened and read
a telegram from Washington an
nouncing that the senate had adopted
the New Mexico-Arizona statehood re
solution.
Greatest state in the Union in ten
years, said Seaberg after he had
calmed down. We will be greater and
grow faster than Oklahoma. That
state grew like mushroom. Today
lit is one of the richest in the union
Think what we will be with our
wealth of mineral, oil and great tracts
of land that will raise anything in the
world.
81 know of one tract of 10000 acres
Of oil land. 1t slopes down in basin
direct from the Montezuma fields OF
Colorado. 1t will be the greatest belt
of oil in the world when capital gets
to work, and capital will now go into
New Mexico as it has never gone into
any other state in the Union.
Expansion will come with state
hood. 1t is all we need. Then we
have the climate. Nowhere in the
world can the climate of southern
Colorado and New Mexico be equalled
with statehood will come more
railroads. We have constitution
that is a model"
Speaking of politics Seaberg says
that the election this fall will be ex
citing.
There are several candidates tOl
the senatorship and Judge William ]
Mills is one that is mentioned often
Judge A. B. Fall of Three Rivers
and our present representative, w. Fl
Andrews. also are probably candidates
others in the field are T. B. Catror
of Santa Fe and Charles Springer o
Cimarron.
Seaberg says that the three mos
prominent names mentioned for gov
ernor are those Of Captain David J
lLeahy of Las Vegas, H. o. Bursun
of Socorro and Sol Luna of Albuquer
que.
.sNew Mexico is and will be repub
lican for some time, think, although
Il am not a politician"

to death on the night before he had
intended leaving for his old home in
Germany. The body, decapitated. was
hidden under his cabin where it was
found the following day. Immediately

TROOPS TO BE CALLED OUT

NEAR FAMINE NOW EXISTS
DWlNDLlNG OF FOOD SUPPLIES IN
WORLDS METROPOLIS Is
ALARMING

London, Aug. 10.-The neighborhood
OF the docks was practically under
mob rule today, with the result that
there was such a dwindling of food
supplies that the metropolis expert
enced something akin to what might
happen if a hostile foreign force
should succeed in interrupting Great
Britain's trade routes.
Unless good progress is made today
in the negotiations looking to a settle
ment of the strike of the dock work
ers, the calling out of the troops seems
inevitable as the police are unable to
deal with the emergency. The only
quarter where relief was experienced
was Billingsgate. There the striking
fish portes obtained all they wished
and returned to work today. On the
other hand hundreds of railroad car
men quit this morning and several
stations were practically in astate of
siege, strike pickets preventing by
force all attempts to handle goods.
1t was the intention of the strikers
TO tie up All street traffIos unlesb their
were conceded within a few
hours. Should they be successful Lon
don would be perilously near actual
famine conditions. The stream of
motor traction today was hardly half
it's usual proportions. So short was
the supply of petrol that hundreds of
motor busses and taxicabs were I'M
abl to move. The only traffic pass
ing without fear of interference was
that of vans carrying hospital stores.
These were labelled with big red cross
signs with a permit from the strike
committee explaining that they must
not be interfered with. Until this sys-
tenn of Identification was adopted the
hospitals felt a shortage of ice and
other supplies.
Thousands of tons of fruit, vege-
tables and provisions are rotting on
the wharves and in the railway
freight depots. Unless they can be
moved soon they threaten to endan-
ger the general health.
Today the temper of the strikers
appeared ugly and scenes of violence
increased. Those taking part in the
conference of the board of trade,
which is seeking settlement, stated
that they are getting nearer solution
each time they meet and are deter
mined to sit throughout tonight if there
seems to be a possibility of reaching
an agreement.

THE QUESTION ANGERED HIM
JUMPED TO FEET AND
BRANDED INFERENCE AS
FALSE
WARNING TO CORPORATIONS
DISSOLUTION OF STANDARD OIL
COMPANY SHOULD HAVE ITS
EFFECT

Washington, Aug. 10.-George w.
Perkins, a director of the United
States Steel corporation, testifying
before the house steel investigating
committee today, created stir when
he jumped to his feet and branded as
false the statement that the panic of
1907 had been started to ruin certain
banks.
Representative Bartlett asked Mr..
Perkins. whether such was not the
case and the New York financier was
on his eet in a second saying: "Such
a charge is absolutely false. There is
not a scintilla of truth in it." The
governments separation of the
Standard Oil company into thirty
three parts, Mr. Perkins declared, was
certainly a warning to corporations.
He suggested that something should
be done to relieve tn present condi-
tions under which, he contended, cor
porations could not continue to exist
representative Bartlett referred
% the conspiracy charge that a group
# bankers started the panic OF, 1907
o drive certain bankers out of bust |
less. Mr. Perkins became excited. He
Jumped to his feet. Pounding the
table vigorously with his fist, he said:
MY dear judge, there never was a
more infamous lie started than that.
There is not scintilla of truth in it.
You might just as well say certain
group of gentlemen made a contract
with Mrs. O'Leary's COW to kick over
the lamp that set Chicago on fire."

sI6LE OVERRIDING OF TAFT's
ACTION

Washington, Aug. 10.-The resolu
tion admitting Arizona and New Mexi
co to statehood passed its last legisla
tive stage today when the house
agreed to the minor senate amend
ments to that measure. The measure
now goes to President Taft, who, il
is said, will veto it.
Standpat republican leaders of the
senate and the house flocked to the
White House today to inform Mr..
Taft that they would fight to the
last ditch before they allowed either
the senate or the house to pass any
measure over the presidential veto.
I'VE do not propose to let any at
tempt at making laws over the head
of the president go through without
a fight" said Republican House Whip
John Dwight. Senator Murray Crane
Of Massachusetts backed up this
statement.
This statehood matter" said Mr..
Dwight, 'is not political in itself, but
this overriding of the president is in
tended to make politics against him
and humiliate him before the country. |
Under these circumstances his friends
inside and outside the party will rally
to him."
1t was indicated today that not only
the republicans were rallying their
forces, but that the democrats were
using every means to gather in Wash
ington all their members of the house
and the senate.
