HOUSE is lNCENSED
At SENATE'S ACTION
(By Associated Press.)


WASHINGTON, d. c.. March 12.-
Statehood legislation formed one of the
topics Of discussion at the White House
to-day. 1t developed from the calls on
the President. of Speaker Cannon and
Representative Watson, OF Indiana, the
Republican whip of the House. that
the members of the House are incenscu
at the Senate and not only on the state
hood BILL but on other measures passed
by the House which have been received
with disapproval by the Senate.
When Speaker Cannon was asked, If In
his opinion, there would be statehood legis-
-lation by the Congress. he said vehem-
emily, GO ask Aldrich, Burrows and
Co. They seemed to want to be running
things. SO far as l am concerned-so
far Is my vote goes-the legislation will
proceed along the usual lines. The bill
will be sent to conference between the
two branches. Do they think the House
was born in the woods to be scared by
an owl?'
Mr.. Watson was positive the House
would not concur In the Senate amend
ments to the statehood bill. THE House
will stand pat" he declared. The Senate
has kicked out our Philippine BILL has
tried to emasculate the rate bill and has
cut the life out OF the statehood bill.
Do you think the House will stand such
treatment? It will not. and Jc,~ may de-
pend upon It,"

d WASHINGTON, d. c.. March 12.--
There was sharp division of opinion In
the Senate to-day over the question
whether the Tillman Gillespie resolution,
instructing the Interstate Commerce
Commission to inquire into railroad hold
ings of coal and oil lands, was OF n char
acter justfying the Presidents message
regarding 1t. Senator Tillman complained
that the President had charged the Con-
gross with insinccrity, pretense and ig-
norance. and Senators Lodge and Spooncr
took the position that the charge of ig-
norance was warranted. The debate was
spirited. but was interrupted at o'clock.
when the railroad rate bill was called
up, and Senator Culberson made n two
hours legal argument, In which he sup
ported a bill of his own, which he has
introduced as Il substitute for the pending
House bill. Senators Elkins and Bacon
announced that they would discuss the
resolution and message later and pre-
dictcd that several others would do the
same.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has selected as counsel In the investiga-
ton directed by recent Joint resolution
OF Congress into alleged railroad discrim-
ination on coal and oil. Messrs. Edward
Il. Whitney, or New YORK. and william
a. Glasgow. OF Philadelphia.

Tho House devoted It's attention to
legislation for the District OF Columbia
to-day with the exception of making an
inquiry of the secretary of the treasury
regarding fees for additional services in
customs cases which may have been paid
the United States District Attorney for
the Southern District of New York. Four
local bills were passed two tabled and
one recommltted. An effort, to bring up
the naturalization bill failed because OF
lack of a quorum.
The Statehood bill was returned to the
House by the Senate to-day and was
laid on the speakers table without COM
ment.
"A caucus of the Republican members
of the House will be called for We'd
nesday evening to discuss the Senafe
Statehood bill.
Statehood insurgents are rebelling
at the proposition for caucus on the
ground that It Is an attempt to bind
them. There seems to be general under
standing that the so-called "ipsurgcnt'
members will not attend the caucus.
