ORIGINAL PACKAGES.
A Minority Report Against the House
Substitute Bill.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-Representative
Adams, of Illinois. today submitted a
minority report, dissenting from the
views Of the majority of the committee
on judiciary upon the bill intended as a
substitute for the "original package"
bill To surrender the exercise of the
power of congress to regulate commerce
to the legislatures of the several states,
the report argues, is to defeat the main
purpose of its creation. This is the vice
of the senate bill. 1t is the
tenfold vice of the substitute.
1t tends to undo the most impor-
ant work that was done when the union
was formed. Congress can define the
original package in which intoxicating
liquors can be imported into state.
Such legislative definition would at once
render impossible the establishment OF
so-called original package saloons, the
only serious evil which can possibly
arise out Of the recent decision of the
supreme court.

THE TUCSON CoURT-MARTIAL.
Majors Wham's and Towers Trial
Quickly Ended

Quickly Ended
Tucson, Ariz., July 1.-The trial by
court martial of Major Joseph Wham
was held today. He was charged with
having violated the articles of war in
advising and requesting Captain Milt-
imore to execute ailease purporting to be
for the rent of one room as an { ice,
whereas in fact said lease was intended
to cover the rent of the entire house oc-
cupied as residence and Office by the
accused. The evidence showed that it
has been customary during the past
twenty-five years for paymasters to oc-
cupy Offices in their houses at all from
tier towns, thus securing additional
safety to the funds and increased service
to the government. The evidence fur
ther showed that it was the quartermas-
ter's duty to rent the Office, and that
the accused had nothing to do with it.,
having simply exercised his choice in
selecting the Office by permission of Cap
tain Miltimore. Two months later the ac-
cused rented the remainder of the house
at $26 per month. The defense rested
the case without producing any wit
nesses. The court was five minutes in
reaching a verdict, and then proceeded
to try Major Albert S. Tower, paymaster,
on similar charge. This trial lasted
thirty-fve minutes. The findings of the
court in both cases have been sent to
Washington, without being made pub

WASHINGTON, July LIN the senate
today the senate bill to authorize the
leasing of school lands in the territory
of Oklahoma for the benefit of public
schools was passed.
Morgan introduced bill (referred to
the committee on public lands) provid-
ing that no person shall enter any of the
public lands of the United States in
Wyoming under the homestead or other
laws, who is bigamist or polygamist,
or who teaches, counsels, aids or en-
courages others to enter into bigamy or
poiygamy, or who is member of any
association that teaches polygamy.
Dawes, from the conference committee
on the legislative appropriation bill, re-
ported that the committee was unable to
agree. If the senate, he said, asked
further conference, he desired that it be
intrusted to other hands. The senate
insisted, and new conference was ap-
pointed.
A conference was ordered for the agri-
cultural appropriation bill.
Consideration of the bill for the ad-
mission of Idaho as a state was resumed.
Vance addressed the senate in opposi-
ton.
At the conclusion of Vance's speech,
the Idaho admission bill was passed
without division.
A message from the house announcing
that it had resolved to adhere to it's dis
agreement to the legislative appropria-
tion bill was presented by Dawes of the
conference committee, who stated that
the house declined to confer further.
After long discussion the senate re-
fused to recede from the amendment by
vote of "a to 10.
The result of this is that unless either
the senate or house backs down, the
legislative appropriation bill fails, and a
new bill will have to be reported and go
through the mill.
A motion to reconsider the vote of the
senate, however, was made by Hiscock
and entered.
Reagan addressed the senate in favor
of the bill introduced by him to prevent
the transportation of merchandise in
bond through the ports and territory OF
the United States into Mexico, and to
restore that privilege whenever the free
zone between the two countries was
abolished. At the close of his speech
the senate went into executive session
and soon adjourned.

Irving M. Scott Says They Were Made on
the Merit of the Bids
SAN Francisco, July 1.-Irving M.
Scott, general manager of the Union
Iron Works, arrived from the east today.
Regarding the awards of two OF the new
cruisers, the awards, according to Mr..
Scott, could not have been any other
way. On the smaller there was only
one bid, and the award was naturally
made to the Union Iron Works. ''There
was considerable excitement in the office
of the secretary" said he, "when the
bids were opened. The bid of the Union
Iron Works, on our plans and specifica-
tions for protective cruiser No. 2,
was the first opened. Our stock
deprecated when the Cramps bid was
opened on their plans and it was found
$4,000 below ours. Their bid on the
government plans was next read, and
then up went our stock again. When
our bid was found to be
$4,000 below the Cramps, a
loud murmur went up that was nearer a
cheer than was ever heard in that sane
tum. The strike had nothing to do with
the award. The Cramps changes were
made on the lines of the Grafton. now
being built in England, and as the plans
are so very near those of the department,
and made difference of $115,000 in the
bid, they were naturally accepted"
