THE GARFIELD BILL.
Not Believed It Can Pass the Senate
This Session.

The bill prepared by Commissioner Gar
field for amending the District code in
relation to corporations of the District of
Columbia, and introduced in the Senate
by Senator Gallinger and in the House by
Representative Babcock, has been re-
ferred to the District committee in the
House and to the committee on the jul
dietary in the Senate.
In the Senate 1t was believed that the
judiciary committee was especially quail
fled to take initial action on this subject,
Senator Gallinger believing that that
committee rather than his own should
thoroughly go over the provisions of the
bill. Senator Plat of Connecticut is
chairman of the committee on the jul
dietary, and he will see that the bill
comes before his committee to receive
some consideration. The subject is so
large however, that there seems but
small prospect for the passage of the bill
in this Congress. Senators who have ex-
amined Ii consider that there are many
things that can with advantage be
changed, and these changes are likely to
be made in the direction of greater re-
strictions on corporations rather than
giving them more leeway than the bill
provides.
Especially do senators believe that there
should be strict provisions to prevent the
watering of stock. There Is a sentiment
that companies should not be allowed to
have any more stock than is paid for and
that the free distribution of stock should
in some way be absolutely prevented

THE STATEHOOD BILL
PRACTICALLY NO CHANGE IN THE
SENATE SITUATION.

There Is practically no change in the sit
uation as it affects the statehood bill to
be voted on by the Senate next Tuesday.
Some days ago It was confidently believed
that so far as Oklahoma and Indian terri>
tory being made one state was concerned
there would be two-thirds vote OF the
Senate fayoring this PLAN The present out
look indicates that this view is still well
based, and that there are likely to be more
favorable votes rather than less next Tues
day
There is still quiet running fight on the
part of the democrats. with number OF
republican senators, against the admission
state and in favor of admitting New Mex
leo alone or In defeating the Proposition ad 10
to secure as much support as possible for
Senator Patterson.s amendment Tor the ao,
for future consideration.
The latest move on the part Of the demo- @
the statehood bill. as reported By, the com
mittee on territories, Is to consolidate the
entire ct tSs
favor of securing four states from these
Today democratic leaders were energetic
in passing the word around among all the
democrats in favor Of this consolidation OF
the democratic vote so that it appears like
ly that many democrats who were inclined
to vote for the admission of Oklahoma and
Indian territory as single state Will be
forced to join their party leaders against
their wishes. If this plan carries, as many
senator's believe 1t will, it will result In
solid partisan vote on the part of the
democrats.
The result of this democratic move, 1t
is believed by republican senators, VIII
be to bring about almost solid republican
vote in favor of the committee action. Only
a few republican senators will continue TO
act with the democrats in this matter.
When it is seen, however, as 1t Is be-
lieved 1t will be seen. that this combined
effort can have no effect on the action of
the Senate in respect to the admission OF
Oklahoma and Indian territory as a single
state it is believed that ON the final pas
sage Of the bill many democrats who are
known privately to favor this proposition
will vote for 1t.

UNUSUAL CONDITIONS.
An Abnormal Cold Wave in the North
Central States

The reports to the weather bureau show
some very unusual meteorological condi-
lions throughout the country, particularly
the development of an abnormal cold spell
in the north central states despite the abb
sence of any general storm. and this ex-
IRENE cold has spread through most of
the United States during the past four
days. great contrast also has developed
the two sides of the Rocky mountains.
West of that range rains have developed
to a remarkable degree. The semi-arid
regions of Arizona and southern California
have been visited with almost much rain
in the last sixty hours as they ordinarily
receive in a year.
The coolest weather of the winter has
prevailed in the central and eastern dis
tricts, and in the last twenty-four hours
the snow and sleet have extended almost to
the coast line of the east gulf and south
Atlantic states. The forecasts do not in
dictate any deci1ed change to warmer
weather during the next thirty-six hours.

AWAITING CASTRo'S RETURN
muoh Depends Upon His Attitude To-
ward Minister Bowen.

IL is said at the State Department that
President Castro is expected to return TO
Caracas in day or two from his tour of
the country. Before leaving the capital on
this trip he submitted to Minister Bowen
a proposition for the settlement of the
American claims against Venezuela, which
Mr.. Bowen. by direction of the State De-
partment. has declined. The minister SAYS
he has found it impossible in the Presi-
dents absence to carry out his instruc-
IONS relative to the settlement of the
claims. This is the situation upon the eve
or Castro's return to Caracas. and much
depends upon the attitude he assumes. and
especially upon his disposition to meet the
United States minister half way in an eff
fort to adjust the issues in dispute by arr
bltration or otherwise.
