Chairman BeVeridge Calls
Meeting Of Committee TO Con-
slider Provisions of Statehood
Bill as Passed in House,
LAND FEATURES TO BE
CLOSELY SCRUTINlZED
Senator Nelson, Favorable to
Measure, is Determined That
No Looting of Public Domain
Shall Go Through,

IBy Morning journal Special Leased WireI
Washington, Jan. 1s.-That no time
will be lost BY the senate IN taking up
the question of admitting New Mexico
and Arizona as separate states was in
dicated today by a call issued by
Chairman Beveridge for q session of
the committee on territories immedi-
ately after todays session Of the sem
ate
The statehood bill only passed the
house yesterday and was not messaged
to the senate until today, therefore
the prompt action Of the chairman of
the territories committee caused some
surprise and much qualification among
the advocates of the bill
The members of the senate commit
tee are now unanimously in favor OF
admitting both territories as states,
but some differences of opinion exist
concerning land grant features car
ried in the proposed legislation. 1t
has been charged before the senate
committee that the statehood bills
which have come up in the past have
contained clauses which would perpet-
uate certain grants Of land made 10
corporations which have not had the
approval of members OF the commit
tee some of these grants wfre inves-
tigated by secretary OF the Interior
Garfield during his term Of office and
report was made to the senate COM
mittee disappearing the terms of the
grants and also disappearing certain
other land transactions with corpora
tions in the territories
Senator Nelson who is a member OF
the committee on territories as well as
chairman of the committee on public
lands, has given this question close
attention He expects to protect the
governments interests in the matter
of any existing land grants and in land
legislation generally carried by the
bill This, however, is not expected to
seriously delay the senate's action on
the bill. A favorable report on the
measure is expected at an early date.

LAND MATTERS MAY
f41rSE- IITTfftT
Morning Journal Bureau,
613 Munsey Building,

washington, II, g, Jan, 10
From open opposition to statehood
for New Mexico ana Arizona, senator
Beveridge, chairman Of the commit
tee on territories, appears to have
come over to complete approval of
statehood for the territories at the
hands of this session OF congress. The
statehood bill came up from the house
today and Senator Beverdge immedi-
ately issued a call for a meeting Of the
committee on territories at the close
of the days session, IT is understood
that the call is for the purpose of
making an immediate report on the
bill.
The only hitch possible now APP
pears to be in connection with land
matters. IT is said tonight that Sena-
tor Nelson, who is also chairman of
the committee on public lands desires
q careful Investigation into certain
land grants in the territories and that
he may object to some of the provi-
sions OF the bin regarding grants of
land This appears to be the only
influence which can delay action on
the bill for any length of time.

The attempted crime Is one of a ma

likely be the last Brooks when seen
in the city Jail last night appeared to
realize the enormity of his offense. He
sat huddled in his steel cell, with
the look of "A hunted animal in his

a word.
Before the door of the iron cage
had changed behind him, Brooks had
been positively identified by little
Grace, who went into Mysteries when
she caught sight Of the man for the
second time.
The story Of the alleged attempt on
the part Of Brooks to outrage the lit

According TO the little girl, Brooks
knocked on the back door OF the Bou-

on the Ballinecr- -Pinchot resolution
and then devoted almost five hours
to further discussion Of the urgent
deficiency appropriation bills. Con-
sideration of this measure was not
concluded. The session was somewhat
onlivened by criticisms Ct former Pres
ident Roosevelt by Representative
Harrison who denounced him for APP
pointing representatives to the third
maritime conference to be held at
Brussels next April without due au-
thoritv of law and for his alleged nu-
merous violations Of the civil service
law
When Representative Fitzgerald
called attention to a letter from the
secretary of the treasury requesting
that government employees appointed
bv executive order be placed on the
payroll under the civil service rule.
Mr.. Harrison declared that President
Roosevelt had violated the spirit OF
civil service law l6S times or fifteen
more times than any other of his pre-
decessors.
Mr. Tawney in charge of the bill
resented Mr.. Harrison's charges.

excepted "a small number of persons

dent Thomas L. Lewis of the United

of today's session of the organization.
lie ruled out of order Frank J. Hayes
of Illinois and William Grey of Ohio,
leaders of the faction opposed to the
Lewis administration, who objected to
the national organizers being seated
as delegates if their salaries are paid
during the convention.
President Lewis ruled that the con-
vention was not yet organized. Hayes
and Green insisted that if the report
of the credentials committee just read
was adopted in so far as it seated dele
gates agaist whom no protest was en-
tertained. the action would be final
but Lewis drowned their voices with
his gavel and put down storm of OBJ
jections from all over the han.
Green was a candidate against Lewis
for the presidency, but it is conceded
he has been beaten. though the re
port of the tellers of the balloting has
not yet been completed. Hayes
probably has been successful as a
candidate for the vice presidency
against the Incumbent. r. S. McCul-
Tough.
In ordering Green and Hayes TO
take their seats, President Lewis
said:
I'VE are representing the men at
home. We have only eleven days to
transact their business here if we are

ference at Toledo, on February list. our
wage contracts in the bituminous fields
expire April LIST. 1t is important that
we conduct our business here eX-
peditiously and as intelligent men.
For twenty-one years the business
of the annual conference OF the United
Mine Workers has proceeded in a haze
of tobacco smoke and for twenty-one
years certain reformers have protest
eG against smoking in the convention
hall The usual motion TO prohibit
smoking was made this afternoon. and
the offer was laughed down.
The credentials committee is ex-
pected to bring it's life work to an end
tomorrow and the necessary commits
tees viii be announced, the reports of
th. officers will be submitted and the
convention viii settle down to busi-
ness.
President Lewis in responding 70 adj
dresses of welcome this afternoon,
said if the church and commercial or
gans would make closer investigations
Of the labor problem" the problem
would be nearer solution than it is
today
"But at any rate it will not be many
more years that we shall have TO go
down on our knees and beg legisla-
lures to give us laws CO protect our
lives when we enter the mines to earn
our living.- declared AR. Lewis.
