STATEHOOD BILL NAY ran.
Conference or House Republicans Vote 10
Adhere 10 Their BIZ.

WASHINGTON. Feb. l0.-Aotion taken by
the Republican members Of the House this
afternoon indicates that tho four Territories
which have been applying for admission to
the Union will have to wait few years
longer A resolution reanlrming the caucus
determination OF April Is last was adopted
by to-day conference in the following
language
That 1t is the sense Of this conference
that the action and policy Of the Repub-
lican caucus OF April 10. 1904 touching tho
admission Of Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory az one State and New Mexico and
Arizona as one State, as provided in the
bill Of the House, No. l4.i7g which bill has
been amended by the Senate and il now
pending in the House Committee on Terri
tories. be insisted upon. and we insist upon
such parliamentary proceedings as can
be had by a ma ority of the House, or such
special order as can toe made and adopted
by ma jority OF the House, under which
the aforesaid policy Of the Republicans
OF the House can be worked out
This resolution was adopted by vote OF
~ 10 81. 1t was written by Speaker Cam
non and earnestly advocated by him. al
though it was offered by Representative
Tawney Its adoption was the climax of
three hours session. during which Speaker
very tired Of the growing habit which
many Repub lean members are acquiring
oi joining the Democrats for the purpose
Of passing legislation that does not meet
the views Of their party associates.
Just before he finished his speech he
engaged in warm collOquy with Represen-
tative BuIkett Of Nebra .ka. who wanted
, TO know If the purpose of the resolution
was not to kill the Statehood bill. The
Nebrask kan insisted upon direct answer.
If the Senate does not recede from its
amendment said Mr., Cannon, with great
deliberation. that will be the effect II the
Republicans Of this House do not agree
upon "A special order providing for sending
the bill directly to conference from tho
Committee on Territories! the same result
may be achieved
After the Speakers admission it became
clear tnat the idea was TO send the l.ll
directly from the committee, where II b.
now sleeping, 10 a conference, in which - ,
House members would deliver an ultimat I'M
to the Senators TO the effect that II q Al
would recede from the amendments. leA~
ing the I'LL az II passed tho House. there
could Toe action on the subject OF Statehood
al this session
During the conference Representative
Hamilton chairman Of the Committee on
Territories. made this plain declaration:
This bill il absolutely an Administration
measure and no other can get the approval
! OF the President
This information tailed with a report
in circulation at the House earlier in the
day 20 the effect that President Roosevelt
! had told Delegate Rodey that he would not
( sign the bill as passed by the Senate.

n. c. Vanderbilt IN TOWN.
But Kodakcrs Gathered and Flashlights
We're In Vain When Vie Wade His Enlri.

Reginald Claypole Vanderbilt with his
wife and baby came to town from New
port last night on the Boston Express, which
got into the Grand Central Station a 7:20
o'clock Mr. Vanderbilt's private car
Olympia was htched to the rear OF the
Boston flyer
When he stepped out of the Olympia
10 the platform twenty-seven kodakers
went into action. Cameras were I'M
limbered, squirting from every direction.
Matches held ready to touch off pans of
powder for fashligh hts twinkled Several
hundred persons who had heard that Mr.
Vanderbilt was making his first public
entry into Manhattan since Stoessel
Freddie Gebhard held 100 Fifth avenue
against Oyama Jerome pushed against
the gates and rubbered.
Stationmaster Odell saw Mr. Wander
bits plight and walked out 70 where he
stood on the platform before the photog-
raphers got busy. Mr.. Vanderbilt SAID
something to him and Odell called half
a dozen husky porters.
To the chagrin of the kodakers the
trunk busters gathered around Mr.. Van
derbilt and encompassed him, circular
wall of Irish six feet high Through the
cracks Mr. Vanderbilt could be seen smok-
ing a cigar
Twenty -seven hands squeezed twenty
seven bulbs Just on the chance of getting
something tnHt cOull ne IdDSltOs MS IL
Reggie Vanderbilt coming back TO town.
They then withdrew.
Then Mrs Vanderbilt. n nurse carrying
the baby. and a maid got out of the cal and
hurried through the gates 10 where the
cnrriage of Mrs Cornelius Vanderbilt, Sr.,
was waiting for them. They were driven
to the Nanderli 1T mansion, at Fifth avenue
and Fifty--eVenth street,
\ few minutes later Mr. Vanderbilt
waving away reporters walked out of the
station, got into public hanson and was
driven away. He wouldn't talk.
This j. the second wish he has made to
New York since the little uupleasantness
arose between HIM and MIR Jerome over his
reluctance to testify in the matter Of the
professional activities Of Richard Garfield
After Garfield fessed up and paid his 81 600
fine the coast was clear, and on Dec. IA
Young Mr. Vanderbilt came to town from
Newport to attend the coming out dance
given for Miss Gladys Vanderbilt He
made the round of his clubs at the same
time Before that he hadn't been in town
since the middle of last June, when he fooled
the county detectives who were watching
the house of his mother-in-law. Mrs Fred
eric Nelson, for him and slipped away.
Ii was said last night that Mr. Vanderbilt
intends to remain in the city for some time.

EFFECr or RArE LEGISLATION
II Would Imperil the Peoples Savings
Invest ed in Railroad Securities

WASHINGTON Feb. l0-The Senate Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce, in con :
nection with the Esoh-Townsend bill to-day
heard Daniel Davenport OF Bridgeport =,
Conn, representing the Association for
the Maintenance of Property. which is
composed Of owners Of railroad securities.
Mr.. Davenport asked no special con =
sideration for his clients. except that before
acting the committee should consider
the widespread effect on business which
al first glance would not seem to be even
remotely connected with the railroads
such az insurance companies and savings
banks, and he made the sweeping state
nent that al least one-sixth of the deposits
of the people in savings banks and Of the
securities on which life and fire insurance
policies rested were invested in railroad
stocks and bonds.
1t is not too much 10 say he said, that
the real owners of the railroads are
the plain paople and whoever seeks to
array the Government of the United States
against the railroads seeks TO array the
Government against the people.
No one could deny, he said. that Congress
could exercise authority to fix the rates on
interstate commerce business, but II could
do 80 only under the constitutional limita-
ton tina, there should be no discrimination
between the various points. He referred
TO the struggle that had been in progress
for twenty years between Boston and New
York on the one hand and Philadelphia
Baltimore and Newport News on the other
the outcome Of which had been the establish
ment of n differential in favor of the last
three ports. Should power be given the
Interstate Commerce Commission TO regu-
late rates. they would be compelled by the
Constitution to wipe out every diferential
Of every character between the several
ports. No one would contend that Con-
gress could establish a diferentia in favor
Of one pert over another, neither could
Congress, if controlling rates. permit such
a ditIerent!al to continue.
II defy the wit OF man to conceive any
method Of making rates which will conform
to the Constitution. he said than TO make
the rate so much ton per mile regardless
Of VARYING conditions
Mr.. Davenport also pointed 10 the effect
OF water competition, which compelled the
railroad. in the East to give n lower rate
between Boston and Southern points than
the railroads out Of Chicago. although
Chicago was 500 miles nearer than Boston.
That diiierentinl. however. under the Com
stitution could not exist # tho Esch-
Townsend bill should pass. Either the
rate from Boston to the South would have
TO be raised or the rate from Chicago
lowered either of which would cause wide
FUread disaster
