The President Regards Combined
Statehood as the Solution
of the Problem.
BANKS TO DEPOSIT
Twenty Per Cent Of Government Hold.
ing to Be Placed in Sub Treasury
on Account of Panama Canal
Purchase.

Washington, March 3-President
Roosevelt last week had several con-
ferences with Senators and Represen-
tatives in Congress who are interestd
in the proposition to Great new states.
1T Is understood to be the Presidents
solution of the problem that two new
safes be created. One from Oklahoma
and Indian Territory, and one from
the territories of New Mexico and Ari-
zona. In this respect he is in agree
ment, at least SO far as Oklahoma and
Indian Territory are concerned, with
the Senate committee on territories
II the idea of the creation of only
two states does not meet the approval
of the people in the territories, their
objection to it may delay all statehood
legislation indefinitely. 1t is pointed
out that it is not urged by the Presi-
dent that all people including the In
dians in the Indian Territory shall be
admitted as citizens Immediately, but
that it be done gradually, and as the
Indians become qualified for citizen
ship they must be accorded the rights
| of citizens and that eventually, per-
haps, the Indian Territory and Okla
homa may be erected into separate
states.

Washington, March 3-The House

days ago by Mr.. Scott of Kansas, that
a negro had lunched with Cleveland
when the latter was President, said he
had written the former Presidenr,
sending him an extract from the record
and asking if it were true. This morn
ing he received reply in which Cleve-
land emphatically denied the state
ment that a negro had lunched with
him at the White House Mr. Scott
said he accepted the statement of
Cleveland as true and offered an apollo
gy to the former President. In justice
to himself he said that he had never
heard the report denied before.
Banks Called Upon to Make Deposits.
Washington, March 3-The secretary
of the treasury department will call
on the depository banks of New York
City today to deposit 20 per cent of
their government holdings in the sub
treasury, the money to be turned over
today to J. P. Morgan & Company as
the financial representative of the Re-

Panama Canal purchase. Twenty per
cent will aggregate about $8,000,00O
and the remaining 100000 will be
taken from the subtreasury. The Sec
retary will also call on all special de-
pository banks to forward to designat-
ed depository banks in New York, 20
per cent of their holdings on or before

THE SMO0T
INVESTIGATION
Smith Testifies That He Believes
in Po1yg amy and Admits That
He Has Five Wives.

Washington, March 3-When the
committee investigating the protests
against Senator Reed Smoot retaining
his seat in the Senate was called to
order, seven Senators were present.
Questions were directed to ascertain
President Smiths knowledge of poly
gamous marriages. Taylor asked a
number of questions which brought out
a statement from Smith regarding mis-
own position under the laws covering
polygamy. He acknowledged that he
had violated them continuously since
the manifesto of 1890 and is ready and
has always been ready to face the laws
of the land Taylor asked, "Is cohab-
tation with a plurality of wives con-
trary to the rules of the church," He
replied that up to the enabling act he
understood from master in chancery
that he should abstain from relations
with plural families and the rule was
observed. Under the enabling act the
only prohibition was that plural mar
riages should cease. Nothing was

since the manifesto there had been no
plural marriages in the church per-
formed in accordance with it's teach
ings or with the connivance of the
church.
In answer to a question he said
that polygamous cohabitation was re-
garded by the church as contrary to
law.
Continuing he said: Il was placed
in this position. I had family-a

continued to cohabit with them since
the manifesto of 1890 and they have

knew | was amenable to the law, but,
as I say, preferred to face the situa-
ton rather than to desert them"
Smith was asked how many wives
he had, and replied five. When asked
how many children he had had since
1890, he replied eleven, adding that
each wife had borne him children
since that time.
In reply to a question he said.
Each of my families has q home Of
it's own in Salt Lake City Since the
manifesto. my custom has been to live
with my first wife at her home, but
have visited my other families.
He added my attitude towards my
wives was of general knowledge"
Senator Smoot's counsel objected,
however, to the assumption that Smoot
knew all the circumstances connected
with Smiths wives saying that Smoot
would be put on the stand and could
then tell what he knew.

San Francisco, California, March j.
George ]. Gould, president OF the
great Gould system of railroads, has
arrived here from the south. In an IN
terview he denied the frequent reports
that he is behind a western railroad
project. The Southern Pacific connec-

son why he should contemplate the in
vasion Of the coast territory so long
as these pleasant relations continued
