O'Clock last evening the Senate adopt
ed the conference report on the state
hood bill without division. 1t is

Those Who Debated on Report.
The report was debated by Senatsrs
Foraker, Bailey, Patterson, Money, Du.
bois. Morgan, Stone, McCumber and
others. Several Democratic Senators
intimated that the consolidation OF
Oklahoma and Indian Territory would
inure to the advantage of the Repubh-
can party, and Mr.. Money declared
that such was the intent and charged
further that the Legislation is infiuenc'
cd by sectionalism. He declared that
one western man is equal in all quail
tiles of manhood Ito five eastern men,
Senator Dubois announced his in
tention to vote against the acceptance
of the report because Of the omission
Of the anti-polygamous provision IN
serted by the Senate, and in doing SO
he took occasion to review his own po-
litical experience in dealing with the
Mormons, saying that he knew that nus
stand on the question would result in
his enforced retirement from the Sen
ate.
The Senate also listened during the
day to an argument by Senator NIL
lard in opposition to the sea level Pan
anna Canal bill, and also to further de-
hate on the Lake Erie and Ohio River
Canal bill which was not, acted upon.
Lively Debate Precedes Adoption.
Washington, June 14.-Senator Bev.
eridge called up the conference report
on the statehood bill in the Senate to-
day and after almost three hours dis
cussion it was adopted without divi-
sion. Senator Bailey indicated dis
pleasure over the location of the capi-
tai of the proposed new state OF Ok
lahoma at Guthrie until 1918, but said
that Oklahoma and Indian Territory
had beep kept out of statehood so long
that he would make no effort to de-
feat the report. He declared the
effort to link those two territories
with Arizona and New Mexico was in
excusable and expressed the hope that
the separate vote allowed the latter
pair would settle for all time the ques-
tion of their consideration as one
state.
No Compromise for Money.
Senator Money objected to the
union of Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory. He expressed special regret that
Democratic Senators are uniting with
Republicans in bringing about the re.
suit. He also declared that "if the
two territories were in the north, not
a man on the Republican side would
vote to unite them," and said that Da.
kota, with Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory has been divided into two states
in order to secure four United States
Senators.
He expected, he said, to cast the
only vote in opposition to the adop-
tion of the report, but he would "nev
er sanction the outrage" He also
spoke of the liquor question as caus
ing just indignation ON the part of the
people, saying that 1t is the result ot
that pharisaical can't and hypocrisy
which leads some to scrutindze with
great care the sins of others while to
tally oblivious Of their own"
He pleaded for the right of the new
state to regulate its own affairs and
declared that "he would not give 100,
900 people of the west for 100000
people Of the east, because one west
erm man Is worth five eastern men IN
all elements Of self respect, courage
and manhood" and could take better
care of his morals than could persons
Of the "effete east"
