 The state was represented by At torney General Harwell G. Davis, Judge James -. Mayfield and Mav- rion Rushton, special assistant at torney general. and Hugo l.. Black of Birmingham, who appeared with the state as the representative of state convicts who have civil suits alleging personal injuries against tho company.
 Moves POstponemest
 As soon as the case was called Judge B. P. Crum. speaking for the company. the creditors and the trus- tee, moved that a postponement be granted in order that the defense may prepare it's case and declared that the defense proposed to contest seriously the states allegation that collision had been entered into and that an effort was being made to practice a fraud against the state by the cancellation of the convict lease contract. Mir Crum said the case was an unusual one, and one in which some time should be granted for the preparation Of the defense. The state opposed the motion and Mir. Rushton, speaking for the state, declared it was of great importance that some decision be obtained with out great delay as the state now has more than 25 convicts at Aldrich mines who have been idle since the bankruptcy petition was filed and who cannot be used until some de- cision is obtained. He said the state could not withdraw the conyicts from the mines at this time because

Columbus, N. M. February lS.-- While apparently no organized force has crossed from the United States into Mexico in this vicinity recently, patrol guards have reported to com manding officers at Camp Furlong here that dozens of Mexicans, strang- CTS in Columbus, have filtered across the border in this district.

 These men have disappeared and are said to have crossed the line into Mexico, according to reports to Col J. c. Schoefel. in command of the local post.
 The patrol district under Colonel Schoefers command covers about 50 miles, % miles both east and west from Columbus. The Mexico port of entry for Columbus is Palomas, about eight miles south of here. A small garrison of federal troops is station ed there.
 The federal garrison at Casas Grandes on the Mexican Northwest ern is reported to have deserted sew eral days ago and to have joined va rious revolutionary bands. Troops said to be loyal to the government have been sent to Casas Grandes.
 Unofficial reports to Colonel Schoe- fel are that at least 100 strange Mex jeans have come into Columbus this week and then disappeared. presum- ably across the border into Mexico.

PROLONGED DELAY
 IN TREATY ACTION NOW IS INDICATED
Controversies Over Arms Conference Facts Develop ing in Foreign Rela-
 tions Committee
By Associated Press

Washington, February 1s.-Despite the pressure of both republican and democratic Senate leaders for prompt action. controversies are de- veloping within the foreign rela- tions committee which may lead to a long discussion of the arms confer ence treaties before any of them are brought to. the Senate floor for ratification.
 Some members of the committee predicted today that the effort to se- cure a detailed explanation of the negotiations leading up to the four power Pacific treaty would in itself become an element of considerable delay Afterward at least four pro- posed reservations to this treaty, which is first on the list. seem likely to come before the committee before it goes on to the other seven confer ence agreements that await Senate approval
 Ratification Not Endangered
 The party leaders on both sides of the chamber are satisfied that the 6isagreements and delays encoun- tered will in no way endanger rau- fication of any of the treaties, but they are watching with manifest in- terest the attempt now in progress to consolidate into a fighting ma chine all the Senate elements who are dissatisfied with the results of the Washington negotiations. Thus far there is no evidence that any closely-knit anti-reaty bloc" has been attained
 SThe first test of strength in the committee may come during the coming week over a proposal to fur ther pursue the quest for detailed information regarding the four power treaty negotiations. Presi- dent Harding is expected to inform the Senate Monday. in response to its resolution of inquiry, that no min utes of the negotiations were kept But it was indicated tonight that such a reply might not be accept able to some committee members. and that an effort might be made to otCfctdTy f1uBHtSs Lnd American delegation head, home from Bermuda, where he has gone for rest.
 Negotiations AInformaI,
 Both Senators Lodge and Under wood. who were members of the del- egation, have told their colleagues that virtually all the four-power ne- gotiations were carried on in the informal" meetings of the "big four" delegation heads, and those who want the information argue that the one man who can give it should be brought before the com mittee.
 Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska. ranking democratic member of the committee and author of the resolu- tion of inquiry, plans to leave Washington Monday for a western trip which probably will keep him away until the end of the week. In his absence the effort to secure ad- ditional data is expected by com mittee members to be taken up by several republican senators, inciud- ing Borah of Idaho,- Johnson of Cali-. fornia and Brandegee of Connecti- cut
