MIR. QUIGG's DENIAL.
There Was No Mention of Money at
Mr.. Lessler's Office.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Lemuel E.
Quigg made the following statement to-
night with reference to the testimony be-
fore the House naval affairs committee by
Representative LESSER:
II regret that the committee declined to
receive my testimony to-day inasmuch as
l think it should have gone out with Mr.
Lesslers I have no interest whatsoever
and never have had interest in the Hol-
land tropedo boat or in any of the COM
panies organized to promote it. Nor am /,
nor was | ever in any way interested in
obtaining pending other legislation in
their behalf. AT the solicitation of a friend
whose name l will give to the committee,
who said he was interested, l consented
TO speak with Mr.. LESSER in advocacy of
the boat. AS the result or efforts to reach
Mr.. Lessler by telephone l was visited by
Philip Doblin. whom l knew to be Mr.
Lessler's personal friend. I made no other
request of Doblin than that he should let
me know when Mr.. Lessler in town
and in his office in order that / might see
MIN. subsequently DObiln called at my
office again and told me that Lessler was
in his Office and l could him there.
MIR. LESSER at his office did not open the
conversation by saying that, of course.
there could be no talk about money. He
0id not say this then or at any other time
during the conversation, nor wass there
any talk about money except in his own
declarations against the methods TO which
he said the company was resorting 1t is
very true. however. that he did not mention

and Doblin. He received me politely and i'm
a friendly way and il was | who introduced

COLLOQUIES in SENATE
STATEHOOD BILL AGAIN THE CAUSE
OF SHARP EXCHANGES.
Quay i'm Role of Observation-Disclosures
idge's Remarks-235 Pension Bills
Passed by the House.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 23-The statehood
bill again occupied the attention of the
Senate to-day. During the debate several
spirited colloquies occurred in which SEN
ators on both sides of the question charged
the others with obstructing important leg
islation. Mr.. Burnham continued his re-
marks in opposition to the admission of Ok
lahoma, Arizona and New Mexico. During
the morning hour Mr.. Fairbanks made an
Intellectual attempt to secure consideration
of the immigration bill. After an executive
session the Senate adjourned until to-mor-
row.
Early in the day Mr.. Quay yielded to
permit the passage of House bill author
izing the President to place upon the re-
tired list of the navy the name of julius A.
Kaiser as passed assistant engineer.
When Mr.. Gallinger called up pension
bill Mr.. Quay said he would object if any
further committee reports were read.
"Those calls have become fashionable this
morning" said he.
HAS it come to this" interjected Mr..
Spooner. that no business is to be trans
acted except the statehood bill?"
After a temporary lull in the proceedings
Mr.. Quay said he would be pleased to have
a vote on the statehood bill unless some
senator was ready to proceed.
1.-The senator need not be impatient" in
terrupted Mr.. Beverage. There is some
body prepared to argue on this question"
81 will be glad If he will take the floor;
that's ALL" replied Mr.. Quay.
Immediately following this came a de-
mand for a vote by Mr.. Cockrell.
Mr.. Beverage then spoke against the ON
nibus bill.
Quite a spirited colloquy arose when Mr..
McComas demanded to know why there
was such a rush to secure vote upon the
territorial bill to the obstruction of all
other business.
Mr.. Du Boise replying said the minority
was obstructing, that If time could be
fixed for a vote on the statehood bill, other
bu(iness could proceed He declared that
the ma jority would have vote no matter
what might be done. You may try to
unite Arizona and New Mexico" he said,
you may bring in a trust bill, but you
cannot divide us. The majority always has
had vote and will have vote on this
BILL
Mr. Beveridge criticised the attitude of the
statehood advocates.
Mr.. Foraker said 1t had been talked
about everywhere that the statehood bill
was TO be talked TO death.
Mr.. Burnham spoke for two hours with
out concluding.
