ADMITS TWO

(ey United Press Leased Wire)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The
house today adopted the senate
statehood bill providing for the ad-
mission of Arizona and New Mex
leo as states.
The house had previously adopt
ed a statehood bill. When this
measure was reported to the senate
the senate bill was substituted for
it and passed. The house adopted
the senate substitute, thus avoiding
the necessity for sending the meas
ure to conference. House members
declared that if the bill went to con-
ference it would be emasculated.
President Taft strongly favored
thesena tie bill and urged the lead
ers in the house to secure its adop-
ton. Therefore. 1t is expected that
his signature will soon be attached.
The vote on the measure in the
house was unanimous. 1t provides
for the admission Of Arizona and
New Mexico as separate states.
A million acres Of land are set
aside as public domain in each
state to provide for the paying of
outstanding county bonds.
