Washington, May %. - The joint
resolution admitting Arizona and New
Mexico to immediate statehood, but
Withholding approval of the constitu-
tions of both until the people have
voted on proposed amendments, passed
the house of representative this af-
ternoon by viva voce vote. No roll
call was demanded on the final vote.
The resolution requires Arizona to
vote on an amendment removing the
recall provision as it applies to judges;
and requires New Mexico to vote on
amendments making its constitution
more easily amendable. Neither state
is required to adopt the proposed
amendments by congress. Whether
they are approved or rejected by the
proposed referendums, the constitu-
tions of the new states will stand
finally approved when the respective
votes have been taken.

Washington, May 27.--Instead of
$1O0, 900, alleged to have been used to
secure the election of William Lori
mer of Illinois to the United States
senate, more than twice that sum will
be disclosed, Senator La Toilette told
his colleagues today, if the senate re-
opens its investigation into Lorimer' s
right to hold his seat.
La Toilette declared that President
Taft's name had been used in Lori
mers behalf and reiterated that Lori
mer had personal cognizance of the
use of the money.
La Toilette quoted from the testi-
mony given by Edward Hines, Chi
cago lumberman, before the Lorimer
investigating committee of the Illinois
legislature regarding Mr.. Hines in
terviews with United States Senators
Aldrch and Penrose, in which Hines
said Aldrich repeatedly had impressed
upon him the Importance of Lorimers
election and had told him that Mr..
Taft was especially concerned in Lori
mer's behalf

Washington, May 20. - After -four
hours caucus today, the Democratic
senator's voted, "a to /, to support the
resolutions offered by Martin, of Vir-
ginia, on behalf of the Democratic
steering committee, providing for &
re-investigation of the bribery charges
in connection with the election of Lor.
inner, of Illinois.
The Martin resolution proposes ar
inquiry by the committee on privi-
leges and elections.
A verbal encounter between Bailey
and MARITIME, of New Jersey, original
ed in Bailey's demand for general sup
port of the Martin resolution. Bailey
said that any senator who refused to
be bound by the caucus had no right
full place in the party councils. This
aroused the senators who favor the La
Toilette resolution providing for an
inquiry by special committee of new
senator's.
Bailey contended that more than
two thirds of the caucus favored the
Martin resolution and it was thus the
desire of all Democrats.
MARITIME said he understood the
meeting was a conference and not a
caucus and that he had no understand
ing that any binding action was to be
taken.
Saying he would not handy words
regarding the character of his own
Democracy as compared with that of
another senator, Bailey insisted that
all senators were in duty bound to
abide by the two-t thirds decision.
MARITIME replied as pointedly, and
the colloquy continued until MARITIME
withdrew from the caucus, reiterating
that he would not be bound by it on
any except political question.
Almost every other Democratic SEN
ator present participated in the de-
bate.
1t developed that the regulars had
practically agreed to abandon the Dill
lingham resolution in favor of the
MARITIME measure as matter of party
discipline.
Hitchcock suggested as compro-
mise that subcommittee of the COM
mittee on privileges and elections, to
be approved by the senate, he desig-
mated to conduct the inquiry. He
said he might present such an amend
ment in the senate This evoked fa-
vorable mention.
1t was expected that the Lorimer
case would come up in the open ses-
sion today, but it was crowded out by
other matters. La Toilette expects
to conclude his speech tomorrow and
after one or two brief speeches in re-
ply it is expected vote will be ia
ken. The prospect now is that the
MARITIME resolution will be adopted

Money For Baseball.

In three and one-half hours Satur-
day afternoon the owners of the Nc.
Leansboro baseball team raised ST.
$50 to be used toward the support OF
the team the coming season. OF
that amount there were eight 500
contributions. each coming from diff
ferent merchants of the city. The
eight merchants also stated more
would be contributed if necessary.
They stated to the committee that
McLeansboro was scarcely on the
map until it had a league baseball
team and that one was worth at least
$1,000 in advertising for them. 1t
is believed that there is not another
team in the league that will start
the season 80 well off financially as
the McLeansboro club.
