A clash of authority between tue governor of New Mexico and officials of San Miguel county may occur, resulting in martial lav If the prosecution in the cases of Car, C.Mugee and Judge Richard B. Hcna carry out their present inten tions. s The county officials, it is understood, hold that Governor Hinkle had no right to pardon Magee for contempt o court and that the govemor'a power does nut extend to releasing offenders against county or supreme court judges. If they decide to let the case come to a show down, the prosecution will demand fcho immediate jailing of Magee and Hitnuti and defy the governor to release them. Tho questions how far the gover nor's' pardoning power extends has not yet been brought' before the supreme court of the state. It was Intimated in quarters close to Governor Hinkle today that if the San Miguel authorities per sist in this course martial iaw mav be declared in the county, with military courts superseding tfisil judiciary. 1 J that cane the release of Magee and Han na would be effected by force. The disbarment case, against Judge Henna continued this morning. Magee indicated today that he : will fight no more contempt cases, but tha$ he will refuse to plead or to offer anv evidence in case he is cited again by Judge Leahy. It is known that the pro ecutios has drawn up three more cita tions and is ready to serve them at any moment. ............ , "I shall not Rton saying what I believe to he the truth about conditions in San Miguel county," Magee said.""ttut I fpei that it is useless to go to tho expense of fighting a continuous procession of contempt cases. Therefore, I shall sim ply refuse to plead and let the court do what it will." . , .'. Magee went on the stand during tho morning to testify that. Judge Hanna had nothing to do with the rampaigD.to He declared that neither he nor Hanna arranged the mass meetings out of which have grown 'the proceedings to disbat Magee a counsel. Shortly before court recessed this afternoon, Judge Ieaby made a ruling which distinctly shocked and amaased the defense. Tlie prosecution had introduced a copy of Ma gee's answer in one of the four contempt of court cases, in which what wan declared to be a manifest clerical error made it appear that Magee was admitting Instead of denying that he was "seeking to intimidate the, eoutt." . The document war admitted in snite of heated protests by Fred E. Wilson, counsel for Judge Hanna, who pointed out the mtpposed error to Judge Leaoy and declared fehat no person could reason ably be expected to believe that Magee had pleaded guilty as would be inferred from tho incorrect copy of the answer introduced by the prosecution. In spite of the sunnosed error in the document. Judge Leahy held it as admistfable an: declared that ne would not cuange tiru; record. 60HMEILII SHADED BY PRIVATE By LA WHENCE MARTIN fl'nited Pres Staff CorreKjiondent) Aboard IT. S. S. Henderson. Knroute Sitka, Alaska, July 21. Members if President Harding's party were today making comparisons between the gov ernment's Alaskan railroad on whirh $5u,000,000 has already been sjient, and the tiiiggenheini private line in the Cop per river country, visited yesterday by the president. The comparisons were all in favor of the private road wmVb. however, is ten years older thaothe government line and waa bniit for the specific purpose of hauling ore from the copper mines and siipplies to the mines. This, government railroad officials said, explained the fact that all along the Copper river railroad there was much freight on the sidings while not a car of freight was seen along the entire 472 iniies of the government road. A movement will be begun in congress this winter, it was imitated, to Irase or otherwise dispose of the, government railroad to private intirests on the grounds that they can more efficiently nnd economically manage the line. Mr. Harding and cabinet members with him will oppose the idea, believing that the Alaskan railroad will in time lie the cen ter of a great transportation system, in rliiding branch roads and inland water ways. Thia depends, however, on the devel opment of the country, which work, in Mr. Harding's opinion, most be patient. Congress must not tie stsmnedcd into spending huge imms to try to fori Alas-. kn growth on advice of optimistic riti; Tcns. but n-ithei- will thi government s interest in the territory lie Ipst through f.arimony, . ...
