selves out in their finest when
Jimmie came to meet them the
train, and they promised her they
would. At the last moment, however
they decided, with characteristic alert
ness. to turn little trick on Miss
Aymar. They wore their most indiffer-
ent clothes, tousled their hair and even
went SO far as to employ grease paint
to heighten the Illusion of their unlove-
illness. When Jimmie arrived he was
almost startled at the company in
which he found his fiancee. Miss Ay-
mar couldn't see the joke and professed
to be real vexed A few moments of
Jimmie's presence. however, made her
forget all about it.

IN CANNON'S CONTROL.
THE STATEHOOD BILL WILL BE
CONSIDERED WEDNESDAY,.

Washington, March 19.-At con-
ference of Republican house leaders
it was decided to consider the state
hood bill on Wednesday, March Il.
Chairman Hamilton, of the house
committee on territories, probably
will seek to send the bill as amend
ed by the senate directly to the con-
ference. If there should be objection
to this motion the bill will go auto
matically to the house committee on
territories, which will report it to the
house with recommendation that it
be sent to conference. Consequently
the measure is wholly within the con-
troll of the territories committee and
it is not thought there will be any
effort to hinder the bills immediate
submission to conference, thus. carry
ing out the agreement of the Repub-
lican conference held lately. The
delay in the consideration of the bill
is due to an agreement to allow state
hood to go over until members OF the
house rivers and harbors committee
shall return from their southern trip.

WATERs.PIERCE OIL PEOPLE
WILL GIVE UP.
PEOPLE
MAY HAVE SOME WITNESSES.
The Information Hadley Wants Will
Be Given Stock Books May Not
Even Be Needed-Pierce is to Tes-
tify.

st. Louis, March II. - II. Clay
Pierce, chairman of the board of di-
rectors, and Charles M. Adams, secre-
tary of the Waters-Pierce Oil Com
pany, will appear before Commission
er Anthony when the Standard OH
hearing is resumed, according to
John D. Johnson, general counsel OF
the corporation. A subpoena duces
tecum, requiring him to produce the
stock books of the company, has been
issued for Secretary Adams by Attor-
ney General Hadley, but no formal
summons has been served on Pierce.
Attorney Johnson was asked If the
company would produce its books and
papers in accordance with the request
of the attorney general.
81 do not know that it will be neces-
sary for us to do that" he replied. IN
the first place, Attorney General Had
ley may obtain from the testimony OF
Mr.. Pierce and Mr.. Adams all the in
formation he desires about the wa
ters-Pierce Oil Company, at least in so
fay as they relate to the business OF
any other corporation.
81 can not say definitely at this time
whether the stock books will be pro-
duced. There will be no evasion, no
temporizing on the part OF the waters
Pierce Oil Company, no throwing OF
obstacles in the path of the attorney
general. At the same time, we intend
to employ our full constitutional pow
ers, and anything that might be done
to resist the demands of the attor-
ney general would be done for legal
reasons, because we believe we are
standing on our legal rights and for
no other reason.
1T matters not who controls its
stock or how it is controlled, the fact
remains that the company has always
operated Independent of any other
organization.
at is possible that after the state
has finished we may have some VIII
nesses to put on the stand. There has
been a whole lot of misstatements by
some who testified. We propose to
show I'D some of these"
At previous hearings it was brought
out that of 1000 shares, representing
the total stock issue of the Waters
Pierce Company, 2,75O shares are COIL
trolled or held in trust for Standard
Oil interests. The remainder, or
1850, are owned by H. Clay Pierce
who has been identified with the Wa
ters-Pierce Oil Company since Its
organization.

The house committee on territories
is practically agreed that Hawaii shall
be granted money for public improve
ments but the bill allowing Hawaii to
use rs per cent of its revenue for
twenty years in such improvements
with the plea for amendments and
went so far as to say that the help OF
such friends as Mr.. Rayner could very
we'll be dispensed with. Other senat-
ors who participated in the debates
were Messrs. Aldrich, Tillman and
Knox
Mr.. Knox freely expressed his
opinion that the bill would be uncon-
stitutional without provision for re-
view of the commissions findings by
the court. Mr. Tillman reiterated his
objection to the bill, and INDUCED in
some characteristic phrases in stat
ing his position, concluding with the
remark that he believed that the bill
could be so amended as to make 1t
acceptable. The argument of Mr.. Ray
ner was directed in favor of the gen
eral proposition that congress has the
right to fix rates, but that the Dill
should be so amended as to dispense
with the provision. He also advocated
other amendments.
The house committee on public
lands decided to report fayorably on
a resolution extending from June ID
to August Is the time for opening the
Wind river and Shoshone reserva-
lions in Wyoming.
The committee also agreed to IA
vorable report on bill FORGETTING the
rights of way granted by government
to railway companies who have not
constructed projected lines within five
years after the grant was made.
At the beginning of its session the
senate passed a bill authorizing Rear
Admiral Charles H. Davis. United
States Navy, to accept gifts rendered
him by the British and Russian gov
ernments
Mr.. Warren addressed the senate on
the bill extending from 2S to SO hours
the time during which live stock in
transit on railroad trains, may be con-
fined without change, saying that the
measure was in the interest of hui
manitarianism and should be passed.
He said that the extension of time
was to be made only upon the re-
quest of shippers and that it would not
work hardship on either owners or
their stock.
The bill was reported by the com
mittee on agriculture and number
of senators made the objection that
it should have been considered by the
committee on interstate commerce.
The house committee on military
affairs decided to make a favorable
report on a bill appropriating S75,oOo
for the purpose of a building in Wash
ington to be used as a temporary
home for soldiers and sailors.
The senate committee on approprla-
lions today completed the fortifica-
lions bill and it was reported by Sen
ator Perkins. 1t carried appropria-
lions aggregating $5,61S,993, an in
crease of s7SO,0OO over the amount
appropriated by the house bill.
This provision removes the restruc-
lions from the lands of less than So
called full-bloods, except as to home
steads, but forbids the alienation Of
all land belonging to full-bloods and
forbids their incumbrance for a period
of rs years. 1t permits the leasing
of all lands not homesteads for one

Monday, March 10.

Washington.-Th Kansas and Mis-
souri, Republican members of the
house have been hearing from their
constituents since their position on
the statehood question became known
lately Hundreds of kilograms have
been sent to them urging in the
strongest terms possible their con-
currence in the senate amendment
Many of these kilograms are from
quarters which carry weight, and may
have some influence in deciding the
disposition of the bill when it comes
up for action in the house. If the
Missouri and Kansas members had
stood resolutely and united for the
senate bill in conference recently
the tide might have been turned and
the bill sent to conference with in
structions to concur No other states

tives are as vitality interested in the

The house leaders are much dis
tressed at the anxiety shown in var
ious sections Of the country as to the
fate of Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory. but the speaker and his lieuten-
ants are making it a question of party
loyalty with members to stand by the
organization in the fight, and are pro-
ceeding with their program with
slight regard for the general interests
manifested.
1t has been decided to bring the bill
into the house Wednesday, March 81.
Mr.. Hamilton, chairman of the COM
mittee on territories, which framed
the house bill. will ask unanimous
consent to send the bill to conference
without instructions. One of the lead
ers of the minority is expected to
make a motion in the nature of a sub
stitute to send the bill to conference
with instructions to concur in the
Burrows amendment, which elimin-
ates Arizona and New Mexico, and to
non-concur in the minor amendments
to the sections relating to Oklahoma
and Indian Territory.
This is expected to bring on the
test vote. However, the program of
the house leaders is that, if there is
objection to the motion for unanimous
consent, the bill will be sent to the
committee on territories.

Washington.-The railroad rate bill
reached the controversial stage in the
senate. The question came up in the
regular order of business. Mr.. Rayner
was the chief speaker of the day and
the debate that took place was pro-
voked by some of his utterances.
Among the senators who were arous-
ed by him were Messrs. Foraker,
Lodge and Dolliver
Both the Ohio senator and the
Massachusetts senator took excep-
lions to Mr.. Rayner's contention that
the railroads have interfered in the
framing of the bill and Mr.. Foraker
also expressed himself as dissatisfied
with the intimation that the railroads
are represented on the floor of the
