AGAINST OMNIBUS BILL
Announcement Made That Such
Measures Will Be Held Up by
Senate in Future.

Washington, May Ex-senator Carter
made a bitter. but unsuccessful. fight in
the senate today against the adoption of
conference committee report upon
amendments to the omnibus land bill pro-
viding for resurveys of Wyoming and Col
OradO lands and twelve or fifteen other
items relating to land matters in various
states. The conference committee re-
iected the Carter amendment to survey
the Fort Keogh reservation lands and
open them to settlement under the public
land laws. and Carter announced that
had the bill not contained another Mon
tana item extending the mining laws to
lands in the Bitter Root valley he would
prevent the adoption OF the conference
report through dilatOry tactics. He de-
nOunced the methods OF legislation
through omnibus bills and in this he was
joined by a number of senators who as
bills in the future.
Carter made vigorous speech against
the conference report. but il was adopted
by a vote of % to 10. Opposition was made
to Sutherland's bill to grant Salt Lake
City right of way 10 cross the Fort Doug
las reservation because the house had in
corporated similar provision for right of
way across q military reservation in New
York state. The objection was raised by
Senator Culberson of Texas. who in
sisted that the bill having come from the
house with another bill connected TO the
measure, should go to the military COM
mittee for report. and IL was sent 10
committee although Senator Sutherland
pointed out the fact that both bills had
been before the senate as separate meas
ures and had both passed. Senator War
rem assured Senator Sutherland that his
committee would report his bill out at
tOmOrrOWs meeting.
