PASSAGE NOT CERTAIN.
Statehood Bill May Again be ChlorO
 formed in Senate.

ROrmed An SemMtSs
 Washington, Jan 30.--It is by no means certain how many new States will be admitted to the Union under the agreement reached today to vote on the joint Statehood bill and its nu- merous amendments on February :. There are prospects, however, that Ok lahoma and Indian Territory will come in as one State and that New Mexico will come as another, leaving Arizona as Territory.
 Senator Beveridge, Chairman of the Committee on Territories, who has charge of the bill, comedies that In its present form there is no hope for it's passage. He says that his desire now is to give Statehood to the million and a half of people of Oklahoma and ln- dian Territory al this time and that later Arizona and New Mexico will be admitted as one State.
 It is said that several members of the Committee on Territories have decided if they await to defeat amendments to the bill to support the Foraker amend ment which they believe would have an effect contrary to that planned by it's author. The Foraker amendment pro- vides that either New Mexico or Ari- zona by a majority vote could defeat the calling of a Constitutional Conven- tion of the territories to provide for their admission, instead of requiring a majority of all the votes of both ter ritories combined. Members of the Territories Committee are of opinion that the people of the territories, even Arizona. when face to face with a chance to come in jointly as one State or remain as territories for an indefinite period would vote to come in as one State

 Governor Vardaman this evening sent the following telegram to Gov ernor Terrell of Georgia:
 Permit me to congratulate the white people of Georgia upon the character of their chief executive and to com mend my dear sir most heartily in his conduct in refusing to allow the State of Georgia to be dishonored by being represented at the inauguration of the President by negro military company. Thfss act will bring down upon your devoted head the severest condemna- ton of the misinformed negrophiles of the North, the office-bribed referees of the South and few broad minded and patriotic office holders and political creatures of both sections, but nine tenths of the decent liberty loving self respecting white people of the South commend your act. I thank God that R few of the faithful old guard are with us still, Southern gentlemen in au- thority who cannot be bribed with federal patronage or debauched with Presidential hattery.

CONFERENCE DECLINED.

Fall River. Mass. Jan. 30.-The Ex- ecutive Committee of the Manufactur- CTS Association today notified the Tex tile Council that the manufacturers declined to enter a conference with the council at which a general ad- tustment of all grievances of all cot ton mill operatives are to be adjusted.
 The manufacturers. however, would. 1t was explained. willingly adjust any and all specific instances of unfairness that might be pointed out to them. The communication of the mill men was in reply to a request made by the Textile Council for 8 conference. The Council claimed that since the settle ment of the cotton mills strike dis crimination, contrary to the terms of settlement, had been shown in the re- employment of strikers. The Council at a meeting tomorrow night will dis cuss the reply of the manufacturers.

TO FINANCE sEABOARD.
John SkeIton Williams Says Road Has
 Backing.


 Backing.
 Richmond, Va, Jan. 30.--A commu- nlcation is printed here today from John Skelton Williams, saying that men or large means have consented to supply all the money wanted for fininc- ing the Seaboard Air Line under con ditions differing from those offered by the Ryan-Blair Syndicate.
 These conditions contemplate an ul- innate issue of fifteen or eighteen mil lions of first preferred stock. as may De provided for. The present preferred stock shall be exchanged share for share for new second preferred stock and present common stock share for snare for new common stock. He says his associates agree to the sale of five million dollars with safeguards as to the disbursement, the entire amount to be pnderwritten by a syndicate at VT l-2, the syndicate to receive as com mission 21-2 on such portion of the seven millions as they may be re- quired to take up. All stockholders are to be given prior right to sub scribe pro rata, receiving the same commission. As q condition of the un- derwriting the new syndicate will re- quire that they be given a majority of the voting trustees and directors if they furnish all the money or if ai- lowed to furnish but half, they should be given half the directors and half voting trustees.

fraud on the public and upon those who may be deluded into investing in their stock. The Increase of these cor porations Is going on with alarming 'rapidlty. On one day of last week one person presented for filing articles for incorporation of fourteen compa- nies; another persons presented for filling articles of incorporation for thirty-etght companies. Tn each of these the same persons were named as trustees.
 The aggregate authorised capital proposed for these thirty eight compa- nies amounted to forty-thres million dollars. On another day one person presented for filing articles of incor- poration for ifty-four companies, in each of which the same three persons were named as trustees. The author ized capital proposed for these compa- nies was over two hundred million dol lars.
 The attorney general closes his re- port with the statement that the law governing the formation and control of corporations in the District of Co., lumbia Is not, as 1t should be, model of It's kind, but on the other hand, is hopelessly vicious.
 The evil growing out of these laws is of such magnitude and the necessity oStiOh 10 oO uIBtnt that TeCOn- mend to Congress their immediate con sideration of the subject. The case calls for the most radical remedy. The right of incorporation ought to be sus- pended at once until Congress can de- wise proper legislation for guarding it's exercise. Moreover. measures ought to be taken to annul the char ters which have already been issued, either by their direct repeal. If that be possible under the Constitution, or by what other legislative action may. De deemed necessary. I doubt not that congress has already seen the necessity for the replacing these vi- cious incorporation laws by those which are governed by sounder prin- ciples. which will forhid the issuance Of stock or bonds in excess of the ac- tual investment and permit a proper public supervision. When such a law shall have been enacted, ali legitl- mate corporations which have been forced under the existing law may readily be reincorporated.

LAx1TY OF LAWS OF SENATE.
Roosevelt Calls Attention stO COIumbiaE
 Corporations.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The President sent a message to the Senate today calling attention to the laxity of the corporation laws for the district of Columbia and the need of legislation in that direction. The message fol- lows:
 gro the Senate and House of Rep- resentatives:
 q have been informed that the at- tention to the laxity of the corpora ton laws authorizing the formation of corporations in tthe District of Colum- bia. The evils growing out of the ex- isting law was brought to my notice by a member of the bar of the dis trlct I requested the attorney gen. eral to make to me report upon the subject.
 From that report 1t appears that in the past two years there have been incorporated under the laws of the district 2,211 companies with to- tai authorized capital of nearly four billion dollars. Many of the compa- nies thus incorporated represent no actual investment and may be used by interruptions persons to perpetrate

And half the people you meet-wher- ever you are-know someone whom Liquozone has cured.

certain that we publish on every bottle an offer of $1 ,000 for a disease germ that 1t cannot kill. The reason is that germs are vegetables; and Liquozone like an excess of oxygen--is deadly to vegetal matter.
 There lies the great value of Liquo- zone. It is the only way known to kill germs in the body without killing the tissues, too. Any drug that kills germs is a poison and 1t cannot be taken in- formally. Every physician knows that medicine Is almost helpless in any germ disease.

These are the known germ diseases. All that medicine can do for these troubles is to help Nature overcome the germs, and such results are indt- rect and uncertain.
