was arrested by Officer Rugg at the
depot Wednesday night, on the charge
of stealing Santa Fe pay checks. Only
one of the checks has been found here.
which was the one for 1924 mentioned
in yesterdays Citizen. The evidence
against him is very strong, notwith-
standing that he can in no way be
charged with having thrown away
the check here. One of the checks
was cashed ty Mayor Goodall of Las
Vegas, which is known to be one of
the stolen checks. 1t seems as if
Stormes was very bold and did the

Washington. Feb 20.-When the SEN
ate met at II a. m. it was still the
legislative day of yesterday, a recess
having been taken last night until this
morning. The proceedings were still
behind closed doors.
The Panama canal treaty was imme-
dlately laid before the senate.
Senator Morgan yielded the floor to
Senator Burton, republican, an advo-
cate of the statehood bill. He spoke
especially of the importance of the
passage of that measure, only indirect
lv referring 20 treaty. His contention
was that while the canal treaty might
be a meritorious measure, the state
hood bill was equally so, and that it
should be voted upon.
Senator Burton's speech was drawn
ort by some criticisms of the decisions
of the republican caucus.
Senator Quay made complaint of the
Jlication and Senator Hoar said the
caucus discussions were not for the
newspapers.
Senator Burton referred only briefly
to the caucus, and then made an argu-
ment of an hour and half's duration
in favor of the admission of the three
proposed states.
Mr.. Burton was generally congratu-
lated upon the conclusion of his re-
marks.
Mr. Dubdis, of Idaho, followed with
a speech in criticism of the treaty and
of what he characterized as the sum-
mary action of the republican caucus.
The most interesting event of the
day transpired before the beginning OF
the routine proceedings, when Senator
Quay rose to a question of personal
privilege. He sent to the desk and had
read an article from a New York paper
of~this morning, accusing him Of vio-
lating pledge which, the paper stated
he had made at the republican caucus
Wednesday to support the treaty to the
exclusion of every other subject He
said such was not the case, but that
on the contrary, he had protested to
the last in the caucus of any action
looking to the displacement of the
statehood bill. He called upon other
senators to testify to this effect and
several Ii so, among them Senator
Foraker, who said that he was quite
sure that Senator Quay had made no
such pledge.
Senator Lodge stated that he had
not heard him make any remark.
Senator Nelson expressed the opin,
ion that pledge was at last implied.
Senator Hoar thought that the pro-
seedlings of the caucus should not be
revealed, not even in an executive ses-
sion of the senate
Senator Burton expressed the opin-
that there should be a committee
a publication Having taken the floor
)r that purpose he went on with his
tatehood speech.
