Vote to Be Taken on the Bill Feb
ruary 4.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Negotiations
looking to fixing a time for voting on
the statehood bill nave practically
eliminated in an agreement to vote on
Saturday, February 4. The opponents
of joint statehood have given their
consent to the date, but it may be
changed in order to accommodate
some who may still desire to speak.
The first vote will probably be on an
amendment admitting all the terri
tories as states as they now stand, and
the next eliminating indian territory
and Arizona and admitting Oklahoma
and New Mexico as states as the
boundaries are now fixed.
