9th for Territorial
Officials,
STATEHOOD AND MEMBERS
OF Convention Rate Bill Re-
committed TO Confer
enCe Committee.

Washington, d. c., June 12.-Tn the
senate today, Beveridge sought to
withdraw the conference report on the
statehood bill, so that the conference
might take up the compromise agreed
on yesterday afternoon. but the re-
quest was opposed by Blackburn of
Kentucky, who made a point of order
that the conference report being the
property of the two houses cannot be
withdrawn except by unanimous con-
sent. Carter replied that technically
the report in this case had been pre-
sented to the house. He contended
that under the parctice of the senate,
conference reports could be with
drawn at any time previous to the ac-
ton of the senate. He took issue with
the statement of Blackburn that the
report is the joint property of both
houses, saying that the papers are all
in the senate and the matter had not
been presented to the house. Dodge
and Foraker took the position that
upon objection to withdrawal of the
report, and such permission can be
granted only by vote of the senate.
Beveridge thereupon moved that leave
be granted to withdraw the report,
and this carried without division He
then formally withdrew the report,
thus taking the bill back to confer
ence.
No Action Taken Until Tomorrow.
The conference on the statehood
bill met informally today and agreed
upon new report to be made in ac-
cordance with the compromise plan in
regard 20 Arizona and New Mexico In
view of some dissatisfaction among
democrats in the senate, it was
thought best not to bring in the re-
port until tomorrow. In the mean
time an effort will be made to placate
the democrats in order to avoid re-
opening the discussion of the state
hood question.
