Washington. March 12.-Perry Bel
mont Of New York. president of the
National Publicity Bill organization,
addressed the house committee on elec-
ton Of president, vice president and
representatives in congress today, on
the publication of political campaigns
by preventing secret contributions.
Representatives Cochran, of New York,
and Mccall. of Massachusetts, also ad-
dressed the committee on the general
subject of publicity, as set forth in the
bill introduced by Mccall and support
ed by the organization of which Bel
mont is president. Belmont in explan-
alton of the purposes of the Mccall
bill, said it was drawn to compel pub
ication of contributions to campaign
funds of national committees with no
thought Of interfering with state con-
troll of state elections. He said many
states have passed publicity laws which
would be strengthened by a national
publicity law.
Belmont said Griggs, who had just
been elected chairman Of the DEM
ocratic congressional committee is
willing to publish all contributions he
may receive in the approaching cam
paign. The bill, he added, is in no
sense partisan and has the support Of
men prominent in all existing party
organizations.

STATEHOOD BILL THE CAUSE
Republican Members of the House
Considerably lncensed at tho Action

rows, Aldrioh and Company Are
Trying to Run the Government.

Washington, March 12.-The state
hood bin was received by the house
from the senate today and laid on the
speakers table without comment.
Statehood legislation formed one of
the topics Of discussion at the white
house today. 1t developed from calls
on the president of Speaker Cannon
and Representative Watson, of Indi-
ana, republican whip" Of the house,
that the members of the house are in
censed at the action of the senate, not
only on the statehood bill, but on other
measures passed by the house which
have been received with disapproval by
the senate There is some talk of call
ing caucus Of republican members Of
the house on the statehood bill, but so
far as can be learned nothing definite
has been determined.
When Cannon was asked II, in his
opinion, there would be statehood leg
istion by this congress. he said vehe-
mently: Go ask Aldrich, Burrows &
Company They seem to want to be
running things. So far as 1 am con-
cerned, and so far as my vote goes,
legislation will proceed along the usual
lines. The bill will be sent to confer
ence between the two branches. DO
they think the house was born in the
woods to be scared by an owl" Wat
son was positive the house would not
concur In the senate amendments to
the statehood bill. "rhe house will
stand pat, he declared. The senate has
kicked out the Philippines 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? 1t will not. and you
may depend upon it."

understood to have been prepared with

shorter and more comprehensive than
that measure it is more liberal. The
chief feature of the bill Is that 1t Is
not to go into effect for two years. In
view of the fact that Mr.. Flenniken Is

prove the assumption that the COVER

IBy Ora williams.l.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, March 12-Never was
the Iowa legislature bombarded with
such persistency and determination as
at the present time from the minis
ters of the state on the Sunday bill.
The bill was introduced by Garst and
prohibited Sunday theaters, athletic
exhibitions and any attraction or en-
ter'ainment where an admission was
charged. The charging admission
prohibited practically everything be-
cause there could be no incentive
Tor secular affairs without the
profits. The bill was reported out of
the Judiciary committee the same aft
ernoon in the senate without the COM
mittee giving 1T much thought. Then
1t was passed Immediately the next
day with the senators little thinking
wh'tt they were doing. Then came
the bombardment from the base ball
leagues There was trouble In the air
for Senator Dowell. chairman of the
sennte Judiciary committee because his
town. Des Moines, has a league team in
the Western League, and IL Sunday
games were prohibited the team would
leave the city. He got the bill recalled
but the end of the troubles of the SEN
ators Is not yet The ministers of Des
Moines have taken the matter up and
have written to all the ministers OF
the state and these are writing to their
senators. Several senators say they
never knew Of such pressure as is be-
ing brought to bear on them to repass
the Sunday theater and base ball bill.
When the senate judiciary committee
to whom the bill was re-committed,
came to reconsider 1t. 1t was discov-
cred that majority Of the committee
was determined to report 1t back for
passage In the same form in which It
passed the first time. Some of the
members who have league base ball
teams in their towns had all they could
possibly do to prevent the committee
from taking this action. AS COM
promise 1t was referred to sub-com-
rnittee consisting Of Courtright, Bruce
and Whipple. Courtright Is chairman
of the sub committee and is the author
of a. bill drawn to prohibit Sunday
base ball alone and 1t is understood Is
firmly committed to cut out Sunday
base ball 1t looks as though those
who were trying to save Sunday base
ball were to have rocky road to trav-
ell Ingersoll park in this city is an
attraction operated by the street rail-
way people for the purpose of getting
the fares to and from 1t. 1t would be
closed on Sunday If the bill were re-
passed. 1t has always operated on
Sunday and there are other similar
parks in other cities Of the states that
would be closed.
The SUBJ committee in whose hands
the hill was placed has decided now to
report back the bill with all the pro-
visions it had in the first place but
have gone further and added Memorial
Dav 40 those on which base ball will be
prohibited. 1t will so report to the
entir,. judiciary committee at the first
opportunity.
