 Washington, June 19.-Senator Bever- idge called up the conference report on the statehood bill In the senate to-day and after almost three hours disous- sion the senate adopted the report with out division. When the discussion be- gan Senator Bailey indicated displeas- ure over the location of the capital of the proposed new state of Oklahoma at Guthrie until 1913, but said that, feeling that Oklahoma and Indian territory had been kept out of statehood too long, he would make no effort to defeat the adoption of the report.
 Senator Money objected to the union of Oklahoma and Indian territory. He expressed special regret that dernocrat- ic senators were uniting with repubti- cans in bringing about the result He also declared that if the two territories were in the north not man on tho re- publican side would vote to unite them" He declared the motive on the part of the people of the east was to secure vassals.

He said, however, that he had not heard a
 political or sectional reason given for
 the legislation.
 Mr. Foraker also expressed the opin-
 ion that MT. Bailey had made too much of the prohibit provision.
 tIt may be-" he said, that they are not wild Indians" and was about to . proceed, when Senator Gallinger said: ''They are wild enough when they are drunk" Mr. Bailey followed with the remark that they were not particular in beins ! wild when drunk.
