FAVOR STATEHOOD BILL
Republican Members of the House Are
for Admission
By Associated press.


WASHINGTON, Dec. H-The Re-
publican members of the house in
caucus today unanimously declared i'm
favor of admitting Oklahoma and the
indian Territory as one state, and by
vote of ITO to 65 declared in favor of
admitting Arizona and New Mexico
as one state. Both statehood uues-
tons are to be contained in one bill.
The conference which resulted in this
action took place Immediately at the
conclusion of the house session and oc-
cupied an hour and Il half. The oppo-
slt1on to the program was directed
against the joining of Arizona and
New Mexico, and it is understood that
Mr.. Adams of Wisconsin and Mr..
Tawney of Minnesota were the only
speakers of this side.
The program of the leaders was pre-
sented at the outset by Mr.. Hamilton,
chairman of the committee ON terri
tories, in resolution which he offered.
1t declared it to be the sense Of the
conference that one state be made out
of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory
and one state of Arizona and New Mex
leo, and that the committee on terri
tories be requested to formulate this
plan in one bill.
The Hamilton bill, already intro
duced, contains the necessary pro-
visions to meet this plan and will un-
doubtedly be the measure reported by
the committee Hearings on this bill,
on the question of embodying a consti-
tutional amendment prohibiting the
sale of liquor in the two territories,
were begun today. Aside from this
question the bill is practically in shape
to' report The liquor hearings will
not be hurried, and the plan now
10
after the holiday recess. When it is
reported a rule will be brought in for
it's immediate consideration by the
house.
The conference had not proceeded
long when the debate was limited to
tive-minute speeches, and this action
caused complaint by those opposing the
admission of New Mexico and Arizona
Speaker Cannon took the floor and
plan. After Mr.. Adams and Mr. Taw-
ney had opposed it, Mr.. Grosvenor
took the opportunity to read num-
ber of newspaper clippings giving an
account of what he termed q "junket,"
which a number of members of the
house had taken through the territories
last summer, at which time they had
publicly stated they would oppose the
edmission jointly OF Arizona and New
Mexico.
Joint statehood was favored by Rep
resentative Smith of Iowa, Powers and
Littlefield of Maine and others Mr.
Lacey secured the division Of the reso-
luton and when both it's parts had
been adopted Chairman Hepburn, on
being requested to rule on the resolu-
tion stated that the resolution might
be taken to have been adopted in it's
entirety; that one bill must contain the
statehood measure for the two states
and that there could be no division of

DISCUSS CANAL
BILL At LENGTH
SENATORS DEBATE MEASURE
FULLY
Scott Speaks In Favor Of the San Bias
Route-Teller Says II Was Fool
isI1 to Give President
Control
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-The senate
spent four hours today I'm discussing
the Panama canal emergency appropri-
alton bill and when it adjourned the
bill was still under consideration.
There We're some speeches by Messrs
Teller. Scott and Morgan and they
were followed by a general debate IN
which all phases of the controversy
were exploited, including the question
OF salaries. the control Of the Panama
railroad and the necessity for general
Legislation on the canal subject. Mr.
Allison, chairman of the committee on
appropriations, expressed the opinion
that congress should take UP the ques-
tion Of salaries in connection with other
canal legislation. lie also said that the
etatus of the Panama railroad should
be made the subject of legislation.
Messrs. Teller. Scott and Morgan eX-
pressed satisfaction with the conditions
in Panama, but all indicated deter
r1ination to support the supply meas
ures necessary TO secure the construc-
tion of the canal as at present under
taken. Mr.. Teller advocated a sea level
canal; MIR Scott spoke in support of
the San Bias route as preferable to all
others, and Mr.. Morgan expressed the
opinion that before the Panama canal
IS completed another canal will be
necessary to do the business required.
A separate bill regulating the issu-
ance of bonds for the canal and plac-
ing them on the same basis as other
bonds of the government was passed
without debate.
During the day Mr.. Elkins made a
statement from the committee on in
terstate commerce, expressing the
opinion that the committee would pre-
sent report within a reasonable time.
After the amendment made by the
committee on appropriations to the
house bill had been agreed to Mr. Teller
discussed canal matters in general. He
did not believe that the canal would
be the success its friends expected.
More TranscontinentaI Roads
Referring to the attitude of the rail-
roads Mr.. Teller predicted that in fif-
teen years there would be as many
more transcontinental lines as there
are now, and they would accommodate
the business of the interior. He did not
mean to charge that there had been
fraud In the management of the canal
work, but he did believe that the work
mad been entered upon without due
appreciation of it's importance.
Under these circumstances we are
liable to make the same mistake that
the French made and that sent De
Iesseps to his grave in disgrace, and
that without grating or stealing"
Mr.. Tillman expressed the opinion
that the senate should investigate the
circumstances of Mr.. Walaces sever
ance OF his connection with the canal.
put Mr.. Teller replied that Mr. Wallace
needed no vindication.
Quoting Secretary Taft's testimony
before the committee on appropriations
Mr.. Teller said the attitude of the adj

BY Associated Press.

holders of small farms in semiarid and

Responsibility for Contracts

Mr.. Tillman made some inquiries re-
garding the responsibility for such con-
tracts, and expressed the opinion that
under the circumstances we might at
some time find ourselves 'in the
clouds or in the air"
"In the clouds or in the air?' asked
Mr.. Allison.
More likely in the mud" insisted
Mr.. Tillman, ''for 1 think we are more
likely to be stuck there. Who is to
judge of the wisdom of such con-
tracts?" he asked.
1.-The president" responded the Iowa
senator.
Suppose he made a mistake: then
we would be required to pay the eX-
pense?" Mr.. Tillman urged and Mr.
Allison replied complacently: Very
likely
Mr.. Morgan took up the thread of
Mr. Scott's remarks in favor of the
San Bias route expressing the opinion
that in view of the divided opinion of
the engineers on the Panama route, it
would be wise to order an mediate
survey of the San Bias route.
II would welcome it as u hapy solu-
ton" he said and added that the To-
cation of the route is an ideal one. One
of the greatest recommendations in
its favor, he said, is the fact that there
is no Spanish population at either end

ministratlon Is that the president has
the right under the law to construct a
lock canal without further consultation
with congress.
Possibly that is true" he said.
Congress has done many foolish
things in the past forty years, but do
not believe It has ever done so foolish
n thing as It has done in putting out
Of IT'S own hands the control of TINS
important work"
He thought that congress and not
the executive Is TO blame for this ac-
ton and attributed it to the demands
Of the public for undue haste IN the
matter. 10 this demand has been at
tributed the expense which has so far
attended the work ON the canal
Wants Bigger Canal
Mr.. Teller concluded with plea for
a wider and deeper canal than that de-
cided upon by the canal commission
lie also indicated a preference for a
sea level canal, admitting that It's cost
would not be less than S1OO,OOOOOO but
contending that such n canal would
better meet the demands Of the world
Nj. Scott expressed the opinion that
a mistake had been made in selecting
the Panama route, and made speech
advocating the San Bias route.
1--WE are now confronted with just
such q situation as / have always held
would be encountered In connection
with the Panama route. We have ex-
pended millions Of dollars and are now
no nearer to the completion of the en-
terprise than when the United States
took control of It,"
He contended that the canal could
rot be constructed as u lock canal
within less than ten years. nor as a
sea level canal In time TO serve this
generation.
Mr.. Scott concluded with the state
ment that he would not oppose the APP
preparation for the canal but lie eN-
pressed the opinion that If the investi-
cation recommended by him three
years ago had been made, the San Bias
route would have been chosen and
what he termed the present complica-
tion would have been avoided.
AT the instance of Mr.. Aldrich, the
senate inserted an amendment extend
ing the incident expenses, the commit
tees provision limiting expenditures
to appropriations.
The suggestion of the amendment led
to a discussion as to the authority of
the commission to make contracts. Mr..
Culberson called attention to Secre-
tary Tafts statement to the effect that
under the terms of the Spooner act the
commission has authority to contract
for the construction of the canal, and
Mr.. Alison expressed the opinion that
the commission has now power to enter
into contracts, but that expenditures
aould not be made except as appro-
priations are made.

Champaign, ILL.,, April 13.-The members Of the
Minneapolis squad who will probably form this

ternoon for the first time and with Siever pitch
ing glt-edged ball shut out Illinois by score of
IL to O. One hit was all that the Illini could
secure, and only twenty mine times did they face
Siever. Three men reached first base and none
advanced farther Siever gave one free pass to
first and Oyler fumbled infeld grounder,
thus letting Schober and Taylor reach the initial
bag in safety, while Rothgeb hit safely once.
The professional secured five hits off BUSHNELL 8

hits off Pond. These hits and numerous costly
errors the giving of six nlillers bases on balls
