SENATOR QUAY'S
STATEHOOD COUP

WASHINGTON. Jan. ga few min
utes before Senator Lodge suspended bis
speech in opposition to the omnibus state
hood bill to-day Senator Quay. in charge
OF the bill, introduced the statehood meas
ure as an amendment to each of two an
preparation bills, the agricultural and the
sundry bills. The document was handed
in very quietly and the occurrence at
tracted no attention at the time The
amendments contained in each case all
the provisions of the bill as it came from
the House, and provide for the admission
States of the Union.
Senator Quay would not discuss the pur
pose of this step, but his friends practi-
cally admit that 1t is the intention so to
join the measure with the bills providing
money for the conduct of the business Of
the Government as to render il necessary
to accept the statehood bill in order to Sc
cure the passage of the appropriation
bills. That this is the purpose is made
more evident by the fact that Quay re-
quested that the amendments be referred
to the Committee on Organization and
Conduct Of Executive Departments. of
which he is chairman. A rule of the Sem
ate requires that, in order to avoid being
thrown out on point of order, an amend
ment to the appropriation bill must have
been reported by some committee of the
Senate. Senator Quay's committee Is
composed of nine members, and a large
majority of them are friendly to the ad-
mission of all the Territories as States.

Interesting Law Point Is Raised.

SAN MATEO, Jan. 2S-Whether or not
San MateO may have more than seven
teen saloons is a question which will oc-
cupy the attention of Judge Buck in the
Superior Court at Redwood City on Feb
ruary 5. The San Mateo Board of Trus-
tees has been cited to appear on that
day and show cause, if any, why Messrs.
Berhmann & COurtin shall not be granted
license to conduct a saloon. The sa-
loon men complied with all of the require
ments necessary to obtain a license, but
when their application was considered by
the board license was refused on the
ground that the ordinances permit only
seventeen saloons; and further, that
there was no vacancy. The attorneys of
the applicants maintain that section 81
of the constitution of California, which
states that mo special privileges or i'm
munities shall be granted to any person
or persons which may not be granted
to all other persons under similar con-
ditions," has been violated by the Trus-
tees

KEswIcK MINERS DELAY
IN RETURNING TO WORK
Strike Is at an End, but Certain For
malities Have to Be Gone
Throuph With

REDDING, Jan. 2S.-General Manager
Wright of the Mountain Copper Company
arrived in Redding this morning and pro-
ceeded at once to Keswick. Immediately
after his arrival there a conference took
place between him and the representa-
tives of the Western Federation of Min
ers. The conference lasted for three
hours and at its termination the strikers
held a meeting and were in session until
late hour this evening.
The Western Federation had been ap-
prised of the statement issued by Mana
ger Wright and had by telegraph agreed
that the strike would be called Off These
matters were fully discussed at the con-
ferences to-day and 1t is given out from
a direct source that the strike is practi-
cally ended, but that the strikers desire
a little formality to be gone through with
before they begin active work.
The Free Press of this city tonight de-
clares that the strike is at an end and a
telephone message from Keswick verifies
the statement. adding that at the confer
ence the finish of the trouble was con-
firmed and ratified and all that remains
is a little red tape. All the mines are
preparing to resume operations, some al
ready having done so. The people of Red
ding feel in better spirits tonight than
they have for two months.
