HOUSE MAY PASS
NEW CODE MONDAY
Movement on Foot to Send Re.
vision Up to the Senate With
out Any Delay.

(Other Legislative News on Page A.
The revised Minneapolis code will be
passed in the house Monday morning,
if the plan now favored by those in
charge of the measure is followed.
The code comes up as special order
at IL am. Monday, to be continued un-
til it is disposed Of. Members Of the
judiciary committee say that their
amendments adopted today put the code
as close to the present law as it is pos
sible to make it in rewriting. II the
code is taken up on the floor, confusion
may result and amendments may be
adopted that will cause various inter
ests to oppose the measure. So they
want to pass it without detailed con-
sideration, and put it up to the senate.
This program is under discussion,
and it's friends claim that there are
votes enough in the house to carry it
thru. They say that much Of the op.
position to adopting the. code has dis.
appeared since the committees have put
it in shape.
If the house passes the code offhand
the. senate is expected 60 hold it in
committee fol two or three weeks be-
fore taking action. Then if the senate
passes it with other amendments, a con
ference committee will consider them
SO there will be plenty Of time tc
straighten out any errors that may be
discovered in the present draft.
Copies Of the Judiciary committee
amendments will be on the desks Of the
members tomorrow morning. w. p

today reading proof on them.

ROOSEVELT WILL

President Will Hold an Informal
Reception on Inauguration
.~- Day. ..->
New York Sun Special Service.

Washington, March 2.-As mark Of
special favor, President Roosevelt will
hold an informal reception on Saturday
afternoon for Captain Seth Bullock and
his band Of ffty-eight cowboys. Imne
diately after the parade the cow-punch-
ers, as the president prefers to call
them, will ride thru the north porte
cochere Of the White House, where Mr..
Roosevelt will shake hands with all Of
them and talk to them about their
horses.
The president knows all Of the Bull
lock band, and during his ranch life he
rode the range with many Of them and
camped with them. In the party is one
man with whom Mr.. Roosevelt once had
gun play on the plains, but they now
are good friends. The cow-punchers
sent word to the president that they
would like to shake hands with him and
show him their mounts, and he promised.
The cowboys will sell their horses on
Monday, as many Of them will need the
money to pay their expenses back home.
The horses are the finest that could be
found in tho west and cost as high as
$3.50 each on range. It was heavy
expense to get them to Washington,
and many Of the cowboys have not
enough money left to take them back.

A curious state Of affairs has devel-

ing against Oklahoma, and the strange
part Of it is that they are actuated
by entirely different motives. On one
side are Senator Penrose Of Pennsyl-
vania and other inheritors Of the power
Of the late Mr.. Quay. The scheme to
make state Of New Mexico had its
origin in Mr.. Quay's loyalty to his old
friend and former lieutenant, w. H.
Andrews, once Of Pennsylvania but now
resident Of New, Mexico, and the man
! who expects, by virtue Of the railroad
influence which "runs' that territory
to be one of the new senators. 49,. .
Oklahoma as Bait. @
The Pennsylvanians want to keep
Oklahoma out, so that in the next con
gress, or some future congress, the ter
ritory that is fit for statehood may be
used as lever with which. to, bring
in one that is not. So, they are play
ing into the hands Of Speaker Cannon
who is determined that Oklahoma shall
not be admitted unless the senate ;ac
cepts the bill as it passed the house
bringing in Arizona and New Mexico
want New Mexico in as single stat'
| and the men who do not, are working
together against poor Oklahoma.
Mr. Cannon has "nothing agin
Oklahoma, but he tilts his cigar to tn
militant angle when his thin, lips ex
claim that he will be condemned If b
permits the senate to override tn
rights and dignity Of the house of rep
resentatives. r>'.. ..'..

Twice the republican majority Of tn
