cussion at the White House today. II
developed from calls On the President
OF Speaker Cannon and OF Represent
ative Watson of Indiana, the Republi

bers of the House are incensed at the
action of the Senate, not only on the
statehood bill but on other measures
passed by the House which have been
received with disapproval by the Sen

If, in his opinion, there would be state,

lines. The bill will be sent to confer.
ence between the two branches. Do
they think the House was born in the
Woods to be scared by an owl?"
Watson was positive that the House
would not concur in the Senate amend
ment of the statehood bill. "The
House will stand pat" he declared.
The Senate has kicked out our Phil.
ippine bill, has tried to emasculate
the rate bill and has cut life out Of
the statehood bill. Do you think the
House will stand such treatment? 1t
will not and you may depend upon it,

Special to the New Mexican.
Washington, March 12. Senators
and Representatives well posted state
that the Hamilton joint statehood bill
will not be taken up for a few days
and not until after several absent
members Of the House and Senate
have returned to Washington. Indi-
cations at present are that the House
will not recede from its original ac-
tion and that the hope that the Senate
will recede from the Foraker amend
ment is growing as It IS understood
that the House will not consent to the
passage Of the bill IN its present shape.
No action may be taken thereon be-
fore>a week and there Is no telling
what will be done at this time. 1t
looks as If the administration and Its
supporters are hoping for success and
that the Senate will finally pass the
bill as desired by President Roosevelt.
On the other hand It Is claimed that
the majority for the Foraker amend
ment In the Senate is too great to be
overcome no matter what the efforts

and decide its fate.
