CONGRESS AT WORK
What Our National Law Makers A-e
Doing Day by Day.
Want License Record.

Mr.. Humphreys GMiss.) discussed a
measure he has pending to make the
government records Of Federal liquof
taxpayers and license-holders availa-
BILE as evidence. In prohibition aud
local option sections Of the country,
|he said, the present practice Of with
holding this information. really placed
bhe Federal government in the posi-
lion Of aiding the violators of local
laws. Persons operating "blind IL
GERS" said Mr.. Humphreys, obtain
Federal license and thus avoid pursuit
4 by government agents, but the govern
ment records were withheld by the
rules Of the Internal Revenue Bureau
from being available by State officials
in making prosecutions. The rule of
the Internal Revenue Bureau, lie said,
,ontravened the weil-establirbed rules
Of evidence of our Jurisprudence.
%r Rate Fixing Discussed.
The question of regulating railroad
rates occupied practically all of, the
time of the Senate, Notwithstanding
that no bill with that end in view
has been' reported from the inter
State commerce committee. The dis
cussion of the subject was in eonnec-
ton with Mr.. Clay's speech, Messrs.
Aldrich, Foraker, Bailey and New
lands being the principal participants
in addition to Mt. Clay himself.
Mr.. Clay advocated the passage of
a bill which would give the inter
State commerce commission power to
regulate rates when complained of,
and said that if there was no legisla-
tion along that line the counry might
count upon an agitation Of the ques-
tion of government ownership. He re-
ferred to the large vote given Mr..
Hearst IN the late New YORK munlcl-
pal election as an indication of the
popularity of municipal ownership Of
the public utilities.
Statehood Bill Passed.
Tie House passed 'he statehood bill
exactly according to schedule. The Re-
publican opposition to the measure
spent its entire force and 10 effort
was made 10 defeat the bill on its
final passage, only 80 of the .,sur-
gents" voting against the measure.
The bill passed by vote Of 1914 to
15O.
The debate which preceded the vote
began at IL O'Clock and was practi-
callv featureless sn-far as any hope

the entire opposition TO the bill, pro-
duced their reasons for The Record.
Several of the, insurgents made
plain the ground Of their opposition.
The bill as passed provides that
Oklahoma and Indian Territory shall
constitute one State under the naEle
Of "Oklahoma," (" and that Arizona
and New Mexico shall constitute cne
State under the name of "Arizona. J"
Should the terms of admission be rati-

Senate and Foreign Affairs.
The foreign affairs of the United
States continued to hold the atten-
ton of the Senate, the Moroccan and
Dominican matters being the, ques-
tions imme diately at issue. Mr.. Money
was the principal speaker and he talk
ed for over two hours in opposition
to the course Of the administration
with reference to both Santo Domin-
qo and Morocco. He contended that
there was danger Of becoming involv-
ed unnecessarily in the affairs of other
countries by participating in the
Algeciras' conference. and that this
country was not sufficiently concerned
with the conduct Of affairs in Santo
Domingo to justify our course in that
island. He also took the position that
the President had transcended his
authority there.
Mr.. Money contended that the Pres
ident had made one explanation and
his friends another of our attitude to-
wards Santo Domingo. Mr.. Money
declared that he felt no concern about
Santo Domingo. "As Senator of the
United States, 1 don't care eonti-
mental about it," he said, emphati-
eally. MI. Money agreed with Mr..
Lodge that the annexation of Santo
Domingo was undesirable. and declar-
ed that "if to-day the United States
would relieve herself Of every island
Of the sea the country would be I'M
measurably stronger. BE added that
if we continue our policy of taking
inferior people the nation must sink
of its own weight unless we changed
our form Of government.

advocating the annexation of Santo
Domingo, saying that the present
population would soon become Amerl-
canized under the rule Of the United
States.
Mr.. Tillman suggested that as the
President of Santo Domingo is at
present within our islands we should
proceed TO negotiate with him, and
thus very easily add to our colored
population il "gluitonous for more
of them"
Mr.. Hepburn replied that if his
ideas should prevail, the colored peo-
pie of the island would be supplanted
by whites.
