Railroad Men Are Opposed
to Rooted Building.
ATTACK M0RRELL BILL
Tell House Committee Advantages
Of Their Present
Plans.

Representatives of the washington
Terminal Company appeared before tne
House District Committee today. and
strongly opposed the enactment OF the
bill introduced by Mr.. MorreI or Penn
sylvania to prevent the company from
sheitering waiting trains at the new
Union Station with sheds known as UNI
breila sheds" open at the sides.
The effect Of the MoTrell bill would
be TO compel the company to completely
remodel its shed plans and TO substitute
for the umbrella sheds one large, solid,
rooted, vailed shed
Those who spoke for the company
contended that the umbrella shed is the
most comfortable and healthy train
shed known, and the only kind that
would be in keeping with the beauty Of
the new Union Station.
Attorney George +. Hamilton and
Chief Engineer Richards. Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, were the
principal speakers before the commit
tee. There were present at the hearing
practically all the prominent officials Of
the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and
Ohio railroad companies in this city.
Look to Comfort of Public.
George L. Hamilton said he was be-
fore the committee to object TO the
amendment which would do away en-
tirely with the construction Of the "un1-
brella shreds." He explained that the
railroad company has salready arranged
to construct the umbrella sheds.
'In the selection of the kind of sheds
TO be made" continued Mr.. Hamilton.
"the company has proceeded slowly.
keeping in view the comfort of the peo-
pie, and the general appearance of the
station The committee must remember
that there are umbrella sheds and um-
bTella sheds. There are good ones and
bad ones
The officials of the company will ex-
plain the merits of the sheds they in
tend to erect"
the terminal area for widening r street
Mr. Hamilton said. because the rail-
roads wanted il, the land had brought
$3.50 per foot, although, in reality. the
fair price for it was 81 per foot, This
was brought out by a suggestion from
Representative Sims that the company
should make r street ninety feet in
stead of sixty feet wide in the vicinity
of the Union Station.
Regardless cf Cost.
Chief Engineer Richards of the Penn
syivania Railroad Company then ex-
planned to the committee that he had
had much experience with train sheds.
and that his company had planned sheds
for this station regardless of cost.
*fThe company has decided" he said.
that the umbrella shed will give the
people using the Union Station more real
comfort than any other kind. The

Sume shape but it was apparent that it was too late to arrange any organ ized jOllification for last night. In the evening J. C. Adams. president of the Arizona Anti-JOint Statehood League prepared a call, published in another column, asking all citizens to meet this morning at the board of trade room at 10 o'clock. to discuss the ar engagements for general public jolli- f.cation. And there is no doubt but that meeting will be well attended
 Early in the evening a telegram was received from Former Governor N. c. Murphy who is in Washington and has for weeks devoted his attention mainly to aiding in the fight against joint statehood MT. Murphy's mes sage was we nave won the hardest legislative fight in the history of the nation. Congratulate Arizona"
 As the shadows of evening gathered the telephone rang and Chaplain Scott of ScOttsdale, reported as follows:
 "Scottsdale is ablaze with bonfires all over the townsite and everybody who has a shooting iron or an ounce of powder is joining in a celebration of Arizona's good news and in the eX- pression of commendation for Sena- tor Foraker and his associates who stood with him in the contest for a square deal for Arizona. And the ex- pressions are equally as kind for the ArizOniaus and others in Washington who have spent much time and effort in helping tO achieve this result"
 Advices from Tempe and Mesa and Wickenburg were of similar purport- Like Phoenix no regular jollification had been arranged but the citizens of these towns were all jubilant and in a "who0p 'em mp" frame of mind.

Heard of this city. recog- nizing the possible good it might do the cause of Arizona when the newly decorated bill reaches the house pleading for concurrence, last night senl q long telegram to the Washing ton Post, setting forth the joyful feel mgs over the latest phase of the sit uation. And care was taken to ex- press the gratitude of the people t' all who mad helped in the cause of Arizona and especially the senators who stood between a, defenseless- peO- pie and their political destruction, and the Washington Post itself, that through the long campaign againsl the bill mas treated Arizona with fairness and consideration. The influence of that paper alone has been of incalcu- able help in securing for Arizona's champions a fair hearing in the court of public sentiment.

PARALYSIS
 OF PHOENIX
The Town Stood Still With
 Joy
It Will PGll Itself Together Today for a Grand Notification Over the News.

The news of the adoption Of the ForaBer amendment to the statehood bill by the United States senate yes terday was received here early in the afternoon and spread like wild fire throughout the city It was the sig nal for the biggest and broadest and happiest smile the people of this town have indulged in for many a day. But hardly mad they got their smile ad justed until another bulletin annOunc- ed the passage of the Burrows amend ment, eliminating Arizona and New Mexico entirely from the bill. That was almost too much good news for one day. The people wanted to yell and throw up their hats but they felt that that was too tame and common an expression of joy to indulge in on such mOmentous occasion. Merc noise could not express tne feelings and heartfelt gratitude 10 the cham pions of liberty and jus>ice in the United States senate whose efforts in behalf Of Arizona in her extremity had been unremitting and fruitful in the preservation of ner political integ- rity.
 Men went about the streets rejoic- in and stopping each ether to con gratulate everybody. It was for a time that silent joy that can scarce express itself in words. It was not q surprise for confidence all along had been placed in the action of the upper house Nevertheless. -he suspense had been d wcaris5me one and the faint hearted often lost courage, though their faith remained UnshGk- en. A constant procession filed in and out of The Republican office all afternoon to inquire if the good news had been verified for there was the awful fear that somehow there might have been a mistake. And every man that left the office left it with a smile on his face. Men, women and chill dren availed themselves of the tele- phone and everywhere there was the same long breath of thankfulness, heard when the assurance of success was given. It seemed as though the people had been literally holding their breath for the last month. Towards evening Pinney and Robinson go out their cannon and began firing it on Center street, and from that lour forward the people found voice. Noise then began to resume it's natural function and excitement became more intense for one IS always more eX- cited after the real danger is over.

TEN MINUTE SPEECHES
Following the Conclusion Of BeVer-
 idge's Supreme Effort.

Washington, Mar. Glowing to the fact that the senate took a recess in stead of adjourning last night, MT. Beveridge was enabled to proceed with his speech in support of the joint statehood bill when today's session be- gan at Il o'clock. There was a much better attendance than at the opening yesterday.
 MT. Beveridge took up his argument where he left off yesterday, contending that the necessity for interpreters for the benefit of the Mexican population of New Mexico was rapidly passing and arguing that very little attention to be given to the pledge for statehood given when the territory of Arizona was created, because it has been given as the result of fraudulent represen- tations. MT. Beveridge was literally applauded by the galleries when he concluded.
 THE NEW DAY BEGINS.
 The legislative session of Thursday
Arizona republican., 1906-03-10

Washington, March 9.-CSpeciaL)- There will be 20 statehood as far as Arizona and New Mexico are concern ed. The pet measure of Mir. Roosevelt and Mr. Beveridge was emascuIated late this afternoon. The omnibus bill, as it now stands provides only for ad- mission Of Oklahoma and Indian Ter ritory.
 The amendment os MT. B-rrows of Michigan. cutting out in it's entirety that portion of the bill relating to Ari- zona and New Mexico carried 37 to 35. An hour earlier MT Burrows had submitted this identical amendment and Beveridge had won by one vote, 36 to 35.
 The smile on Beveridge's face at that moment was the first that had cross ed his countenauce during the day Up to that time, he had been suffering the pains of a disappointed politician. and there are plenty of people in Arizona who know what that means He had seen his committee amendments in creasing the sums allotted for election purposes reduced to the figure set by the house and then had been forced to witness the adoption Of the F'oraker referendum amendment by the signift- cant vote of A2 to %.
 It looked to be all up as far as Be veridge was concerned until the Bur rows amendment was offered at an in opportune moment and a margin Of one was scored by him. Willard of Nebraska, was slow in responding to his name when the vote on the Bur rows amendment was taken and the roll clerk waited. Willard finally awoke and voted in the negative. much to the surprise of his friends. That left the vote a tie. Then in rushed Senator Scott O. West Virginia.
 Both Beveridge and FOraker went for him, but he waved his umbrella, this being a rainy day in Washing ton. and shouted nay" This settled the matter temporarily and gave Bev- eTidge 9 little hope.
 The process of amendment went on until after six o'clock While many people thought the matter was settled with the adoption of the referendum amendment, Messrs FOraker and Bur rows had a different opinion. They had consulted and worked and just az the time when the adjournment was
