This story is an extract from real

WASHINGTON, Feb. The sem
ate agreed to vote on the joint State,
hood Bill before adjournment OF,
Tuesday, February z, the amend.
ments to DO considered on that date
under the |lO.mlnute rule. Mr.. Teller!
spoke during the day In opposition to
the bill and several minor bills were
passed.
Il Is by no means certain how manr'
new States will be admitted to the
Union under the agreement reached
today tovote on the joint Statehood,
Bill. There are prospects, however,
that Oklahoma and Indian Territory
Will come in US ono State, and that
New Mexico will como In as another
leaving Arizona as a territory
Senator Deveridgc, chairman OF the
Committee on Territories, who has
charge of the bill, comedies that. In
Its present form, there Is no hope for
Its passage. He says that his desire
now is to give statehood to the mill
lion and half people OF Oklahoma
and Indian Territory at this time,
and that later Arizona and New Mex.
leo. will be admitted as one State.
It Is said that several members OF
the Committee on Territories have,
decided, II they fail to defeat amend.
.ments to the bill, TO support tho For.
aker amendment which they believe
would have an effect contrary to that
planned by the author. The Foraker
amendment provides that either New
Mexico or Arizona, by a majority
vote. could defeat the calling of a
constitutional convention Of the ter.
ritories to provide for their admission
instead of requiring majority Of all
the votes OF both territories conf;
bined. Members OF the Territories
Committee are Of opinion that tho
people of the territories even Arizona,
when face to face with a chance to
come in Jointly as one State or re-
main as territories for an indefinite
period, would vote to come In as one
State. ~.
