A Significant Remark by the Speaker
 Yesterday.
 Washington. Mar. 14-Whether the caucus on the statehood bill to be participated in by the republicans of the house is to bind" those who at tend has been the absorbing topic of discussion among the "insurgent' members of the party today. No con clusion has been reached. For this reason a conference of those republi- cans who wish to concur in the senate amendments has been called for 1 o'clock tomorrow. At this conference it will be determined whether the in- surgents shall attend the caucus or shall stay away.
 It is stated by the "insurgents' that they have been urged to attend the caucus on the ground that it is to be a conference and not caucus" However, there are varied views as to the binding effect either of a caucus or conference. Some members contend that neither binds the participants while others hold that conferences do not bind, while caucuses do.
 Speaker Cannon says that he has not yet lost fiath in the overwhelming republican majority. which voted for the house bill He has received many telegfaInS today and admits that 1nttli- ences are working to secure a concur renee in the senate measure. The caucus tomorrow will he says. deter mine this point. The speaker says he has not read the statehood birl as amended by the senate, but Ee has been reliably informed that it c5rtains amendments of such a character that if any member made the point of o. der it would have to go to the com mittee on territories under the rules.
 MT, Cannon made the significant Ie- mark that people seemed to forget that there was a three monUhs' ses sion of the present congress, aliudiHg to the coming snort session, IT. whicr the two houses might get togetn7- OF the statehood bill. He sa-s there will be conference between the two houses on the measure, but the allusion 10 tue short session in this connection is taken to mean that should the caucus tomorrow develop a lack CT votes to maintain the house bill the matter of house action may be postponed until the next session of cong esS.

 DISTURBER

Though a Supporter of the Bill His Views Draw Upon Him the Criticism of Both Sides.

Washington. Mar. 1.-The railroad rate bill today reached the controver- siaI stage in the senate. The ques- tion came up in the regular order of business shortly before o'clock and held the floor until the doors were closed for a brief executive session shortly after o'clock.

Foraker, Lodge, and Deliver. Both the Ohio senator and the Massachusetts senator took exception to MT Ray nor's contention that railroads have interfered with the framing of the bill and MT. r'oraker also expressed him. self as dissatisfied with the intimation that the railroads are represented on the floor of the senate. MT. Deliver expressed displeasure with the plea for amendments and went so Tar as to say that the help of such friends as MT. Raynor could very well be dis pensed with.
 Other senators who participated in the debate were Messrs. Aldrich, Till man and Knox MT. Knox freely ex- pressed his opinion that the bill would be unconstitutional without a provis- ion for a review of the commissions findings by the courts. MT Tillman reiterated his objection to the bill and indulged in some characteristic pnras- es in stating his position. concluding with the remark that he believed that the bill could be so amended as to make it acceptable
 
 directed in favor of a general proposi- tiOn that congress has the right to fix rates, but that the bill should be so amended as to dispense with the provision. He also advocated other amendments.

Nov. 2s.-(speciaI.)-- After showing that the defendant dealt with cotton and stock exehang- es and gave his check on the First National Bank of Ensiey. which checks were paid out of funds in the bank and which checks were charged to the account of the defendant. the government rested today in the case of Gordon DuBose former president of the First National Bank of Ensley, who is charged with misapplying and embezzling funds of national bank.
 An effort was made by the govern ment to show that there was an ef- fort made to bring about a conspiracy to use funds of a bank at Attalla in which a brother-in-law of the de- fendant was an officer, and the Line vile bank, in which a cousin of the defendant was an officer. and also a bank at Monroeville, in which a broth CT of the defendant was an officer, in speculations.
 The court ruled these efforts out as irrelevant in the case on trial. There was nothing sensational in the testi- mony brought out save the evidence given by Bank Examiner Cooper, who stated that brokerage firm doing business up to short time back in Birmingham had q certain amount of stock in the First National bank of Ensley when the bank was placed in the hands of receiver
