THE STATEHOOD MEASURE.
It's Best Friends Admit That There is Little
Chance for Success Now.
AN the Associated Pregs


Washington. D. c., Feb. 24.-The Demo-
cratic Senatorial caucus today rejected
the two Statehood propositions for the
admission of new States. submitted by
the Republicans The matter of furth-
or negotiations was left with the Demo-
cratic member of the Committee on
postofices. which has charge of the APP
propriatfon bill with the Statehood rider.
senator Blackburn was authorized to
bring up the Littlefeld Antitrust bill
and at least TO obtain vote on the
question of it's consideration.
Speeches were made by Senator'S clay,
Bacon, Teller Dubois, Simmons, Foster
of Louisiana, Bate, Morgan. Pettus, and
others. All the speakers took positive
grounds against the compromise PROPOSE
ton and several of them spoke emphati-
cally against the proposition to put the
Statehood bill on any of the approprla-
ton bills as a rider
After the adjournment of the caucus
the Democratic members Of the Commit
tee on Postoffces met the Republican
members Of that committee who have
been friendly to Statehood. They decided
to ask the chairman of the Committee ON
Postoffices and Agriculture to Withdraw
the Statehood riders which the commit
tees have placed on two appropriation
bills. They also decided to continue the
fight for the omnibus bill as 1t came
from the House without amendment but
rot to antagonize appropriation bills or
executive business with it,
The Republicans have decided to pre-
sent their compromise bill to the SEN
ate.
The indications are very strong that
the question will receive very little II
anv more consideration during the SEES
sion and even the best friends of State
hood generally admit that there is no
chance for success at this time.
A Democratic Senator, who is mem
her of the Committee on Territories upon
being asked for a statement of the rea-
sons for rejecting the compromise PROV
osition wrote the following which after
submitting to several of his colleagues
he gave out for publication:
"The Democratic caucus rejected the
proposed compromise Statehood bill Tor
the following reasons: When Arizona
and New Mexico were made territories
their areas were established for ultimate
statehood purposes. and all the interests
and expectations of the people OF the
two territories have been in anticipation
of the two States.
It would be gross injustice to the peo-
pie of both to join them in one state
From east to west as railroads must be
built it would be 1700 miles across them.
The proposed State would be as large as
Texas and Texas is too large for it's
convenient government
MANY Democrats feel that the Repub-
lican fight for Statehood has not been
sincere, they having used the Statehood
bill as a buffer to prevent trust discus
sion and legislation For Democrats nov
having stood almost a solid body for
the admission of the three territories to
accept the proposed consolidation would
be to have played into the hands e the
Republican antitrust bill"

and HoImas

Washington. ID. c., Feb. 23.-The pow
lottery tickets from one State to an
ether by other means than the United
states mails was passed on today y the
United States Supreme Court. The ques
tion arose in connection with two cases,
that of Champion VS.. The United States,
end that OF Francis VS.. The United States
and IN both cases the constitutionalty
Of the act of Congress of 1895 prohibit
ing the transmission of lottery tickets
from one State to another by express
or otherwise was challenged The opin-
ion in the Champion case was delivered
by Justice Harlan and sustained the va
lidity of the law. In the Francis case
Justice Holmes spoke for the court, hold
ing that the offense alleged did not come
within the scope of the law in question.
Champion at the time of his arrest
was In Chicago representing what was
known as the Pan American Lottery of
Paraguay. The particular charge against
him was that of delivering a box of
lottery tickets to the Wells Fargo Ex-
press Company in Texas for shipment to
California. He was arrested in Chicago
to be taker to Texas and Immediately
Issued a writ of habeas corpus 49,
the Federal Circuit Court, sitting in
Chicago, refused to grant. He appealed
from that adverse decision to the Su-
preme Court and it was this appeal which
was decided today, the decision being ad-
verse to him.
Francis operated in Cincinnati. Ohio,
and was charged with conducting a
policy shop" The numbers were Sc
lected by players in Newport just across
the Ohio river in Kentucky and brought
to the main office In Cincinnati by ferry
or over n bridge by carriers.
This, he was charged. was a violation
OF the statute of 81, and Francis was ar
rested and found guilty. His sentence
was affirmed by the Circuit Court of APP
peals for the sixth circuit and the case
then removed to the Supreme Court. The
effect of Justice Homes decision revers-
ing the lower court. is to send the case
back for a new trial
'rhe principal contention of counsel
for the lottery men was that the sup
preston of lotteries belong exclusively to
the police power of the several States
and is not a Federal function. and that
consequently the law of 1895 is in deroga-
ton of the tenth amendment of the Con-
stitution which provides that "the pow
ers not delegated to the United States
BY the Constitution, nor prohibited by it
to the States. are reserved to the re.
spectively or to the people
They also contend that the sending or
lottery tickets or policy slips from one
State TO another does not constitute an
act of Interstate commerce.
Justice Harlan's opinion in the Cham
rion case proceeded entirely on the the
cry that the transmissiontof lottery tick
cts from one State to another is form
OF Inter State commerce because they
ere subject of traffic and have a money
value and hence that the law was a
regulation of Inter State commerce.
