Indicate Their Support.
Monday, April 2.

Washington. = The statehood bill
was discussed again in conference,
and some time was consumed in 60
ing over the minor amendments, but
nothing of substantial interest was
accomplished. 1t now looks like sew
eral weeks may be taken up in per-
functory consideration of the bill with
out disposing of the vital questions in
volved. 1t is generally expected that
the house and senate conferees will
finally agree to recommend the adop-
ton of the Foraker amendment, which
provides that the question Of; joint
statehood for Arizona and New Mexi-
co shall be referred to the people of
those territories, but it is understood
that so far this matter has not been
formally discussed. Members say
they are convinced that the Foraker
amendment will be accepted by both
houses if the conferees agree upon
it.
Early in the session Representative
Miller, of Kansas, introduced bill to
increase the pension of an old Kan
sas veteran, namesake of his, living
at Alma Mr. Miller made special eff
forts to get action on the bill, which

sion from s12 to $24 month. At last
he succeeded n:.getting a favorable

The legislation prompted by the re-
cent wreck of the steamship Valencia
off the Straits of Fuca has been au-
thorized to be reported favorably by
the house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce. The bill reported
has passed the senate. 1t appropri-

The Foster bill to permit Chinese
students, merchants and travellers to
enter this country was the subject of
hearing today by the house commit

The Lacey bill, prohibiting the use
of automatic shotguns in the terri
tories of the United States, which bill
was designed for the protection OF
game, was laid on the table by the
committee on territories, thus render

WHEN JOHN L. TAUGHT BOXING
Was Very Severe in lnstructing His
Pupils.


AT one time in his career John l..
Sullivan, formerly heavyweight cham
pion, gave lessons in boxing, but the
average pupil lacked much of the
fortitude necessary, for John was a
vigorous instructor. A young man
once went to the great fighter and ar
ranged for course of ten lessons.
At the end of the second lesson, pretty
well battered up, the young man said
he thought he had enough. Enough"
said his teacher in establishment,
why, you haven't learned 81

But I'll tell you how it is. There's

this course so as to lick him in a
fight. But on second thought 1 have
decided it will be just as well to send
him down here to you to take the rest
of the lessons"
