strike Of the steamfitters came TO
sudden end yesterday when the joint

Democrat Chosen to Report the
House Bill Without
Amendment.
ACTION IS UNPRECEDENTED
First Time in History Republican Sen
ate Committee Has Given
Democrat Control of an I'm
portant Measure.

WASHINGTON, Feb 23.-By vote
of $ to ). the Senate committee on Inter
State Commerce agreed to report the
Hepburn bill without amendment, but
the resolution reserved to members of
the committee freedom Of action con-
cerning the amendments offered in the
Senate BY a vote of five to three, the
Republicans prevailing, Senator Till
man, Democrat, was given the honor
of reporting the bill. This establishes
precedent, in that Republican SEN
ate committee has given Democrat
control of an important measure passed
by a Republican House, and endorsed
by Republican President.
Elkins after the committee meeting
characterized it as Socialism" to have
a Democrat report from Republican
committee to Republican Senate, a
bill reported by Republican committee
to the House and passed by Republi-
can House. He believed the bill should
be in charge of Dolliver who insisted
that it be reported as it came from the
House.
The minority. after failure to get
together last night held another con-
ference this morning, when an agree
ment was reached to report the bill
without recommendation of any char
acter The minority did not make their
decision known to the committee and
the conservatives attempted to amend
the first section of the bill. Senator
Dolliver moved to report the bill fav-
orably as prepared by the House The
Democrats asked time to consider the
subject and recess was taken until 2
o'clock. The Democrats agreed to stand
as a unit for the Hepburn bill with the
reservation. On the advice of Aldrieh
the reservation was made part of the
resolution.
As soon as the result was made known
speculation commended of the method
of procedure on the floor. 1t is pre-
dicted every possible obstructive tactic
will be resorted to. This, however, is
contradicted by Senators Aldrich and
Crane and other leading Senators not
members of the committee. They stat
ed they believed the prominence of the
question and the interest taken by the
whole American people entitled it to an
early consideration. They agreed, how.
ever, on all sides that the discussion
will be prolonged and undoubtedly as

Steunenbers Suspects Allowed
Habeas Corpus Writ.
RETURNABLE MARCH FIRST
Application Based on Extradition Sta
tute of U. S.-No Provision For
Conspiracy in one State and
Committing in Another, |

BOISE, Feb. 23,-The Supreme Court
late this afternoon issued a writ of
habeas corpus in the cases OF Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone, accused of the
murder of Ex-Governor Steunenberg.
The writ is made returnable March lst,
when the time will be set for their
hearing. The application is based on
the eXtradition statute of the United
States. That is a real point, though
many violations of the constitutions of
the state and the United States are
alleged The eXtradition statute pro-
vides for the extradition of persons,
who have committed crime in one
state and flee from its jurisdiction to
another state. 1t is claimed there is
no provision whereby the men can be
extradited for conspiring in one state
for the commission of a crime in an
other. The intention is to carry the
point to the United States Supreme
Court on a writ of error, if the State
Supreme Court refuses to release the
prisoners on writ. 1t is not expect
ed the state courts will release them
but it is desired to save point.
Under the laws of Idaho, an accessory
before the fact is made the principal
and the prosecution claims there is no
doubt the men can be held. 1t is ad-
mitted by attorneys generally that the
point is nice one.
