WILLIAMS TAXES
 DRASTIC MEASURE Will Allow No Business by Un- animous Consent STATEHOOD BILL CAUSED IT Democratic Leader Says No Business Will Be Done In the House Until
 conferees Report the State
 hood Measure.
STATEHOOD BILL CAUSED IT

Washington. April 19-(Special )-Rep- resentative Williams, of Mississippi the democratic House leader, made the an- nouncement upon the floor of the House this morning that there would be no more unanimous consents granted until the con- ferees on the statehood bill made a re- port to the House. Every bill which is ordinarily brought before the House through the recognition of the speaker will be objected to. and only through the committee on rules can it be called up for consideration.
 MT. Williams believes the plan he has adopted will result in a speedy report from the conference coihmittee and the House will be allowed to vote on the statehood bill The course he has mapped out not only meets with the approval of the democrats but many republicans as well. A prominent republican senator said this morning that unless something is done on the House side the statehood bill promises to die in conference.
 Will Result in Early Vote.
 He believes the announcement of Mir Williams will result in an early vote re- sulting in the passage of either the Sen ate bill or the Foraker amendment per- hitting the territories of Arizona and New Mexico to vote on the question of admittance to the Union as one state. As it is assured that Arizona would over whelmingly vote against this union. the passage of the Senate bill as 1t stands is looked upon with more favor by a majority of the statehood advocates.
 "A perfectly puerile procedure of con ference is now going on," said MT. Will liams Upon last Saturday when the conferees were to have met they did not meet and the excuse for not having met was that some of them were not there. desire to give notice to the House from this time on there will be, no bus mess done by unanimous consent and that no business of any sort will be done by this House except under the rules, or rule, until the conferees upon statehood report to the House."
 Causes Something Like Panic.
 MT. Williams announcement caused something like panic on the republican side of the House. There are over5 1Oo bills pending in which cases the speaker has promised to recognize the members introducing them. Mir Williams an nouncement means that none of these bills can come up unless brought inssby the committee on rules, process too long drawn out with yea and nay votes to suit the speaker.
 Within the past day or two the speaker, has been recognizing republicans almost exclusively, the impression being we'll grounded on the republican side that 1t was tho purpose of MT. Williams to sooner or later object to all unanimous con- sents. Leader Payne on the republican side will, of course, object to unanimous consents for all democratic bills. but as the speaker recognizes comparatively few democrats anyway, this Is not material
 It is believed on the republican as well as the democratic side, that Mir. Williams course will bring the statehood matter to a crisis.
