For Several Days-.-Murphy
Cried Square Deal. BUSY
Week Ahead.

Washington, June 4.-The threat
ened "insurgent" demonstration grow
ing out of the report Of the conferees
on the statehood bill, which seemed

order to Immediately without debate,
for the House to proceed to vote on
the question, "shall the House agree
to and concur in the Senate amend
ments?" This resolution was held to
be the privileged Of parliamentary
ruling, and the speaker amid a great
deal OF confusion declared the Huose
adjourned, although Mr.. Murphy had
appealed from the decision OF the
chair and insisted that square deal
ought to be given even the opponents
of the conference report. The dove
of peace seemed to hover when the
House convened today, minority lead
er, John Sharpe Williams intimating
that he would "be good" for several
days at least, giving the speaker every
opportunity to give the House a
chance to vote on the conference re-
port.

ing minor changes in the administra-
tion Of the customs laws. The regular

under suspension of the rules. This
means a day of legislation on bills
Of local character. Should the Sen
ate take action on the rate conference
report on Monday. the House will fol-

one day may be consumed in this con-
nection. The statehood conference
report will be taken up in the House
just as soon as the Senate accepts it.
If the Senate rejects the report, the
matter may not be brought up in the

House this week.
