SENATE VOTES FOR
TWO NEW STATES
Admission of Arizona and New

cally Assured.
REDEEMS ANOTHER PLEDGE
Taft Legislative Programme Is
Now Well on Its Way to
Statute Books — Railroad
Conference Report Up.
[From The Tribua« Bureau.]
. """a'hinston. June IS.— The statehood bill
passed the Senate late this afternoon with
■ ■ '1
cut a. single vote being recorded against it.
On a straight party vote. 42 to 19, the Sen
ate hill was substituted for the House bill.
The measure will now jo to a conference
coTEm!ttee, and there is every indication
that an agreement will be reached and that
rrop«r enabling- acts for the admission to
the Union of Arizona and New Mexico as
separate states win be signed by the Pres
ident before this session of Congress ad
jojrnt
- Besides passing the statehood bill, the
. Per.ate worked for more than two hours en
. tfcs calendar and passed fifTy or more bills
by unanimous consent. Late in the after
• noon Senator Elk!n<« called up th» confer
ence report on th« railroad bill and made ■
short explanation of its provisions The
passage cr the statehood bill put everybody
• In pood humor, and there was no objection
when Mr Elklns moved that the Senate
meet at 11 o'clock to-morrow.
This week promises to vindicate the Taft
•way of getting legislative results. The land
. withdrawal ML with the reclamation bond
Issue amendment, passed the Senate yes
terday. The statehood bill parsed to-day
. is a platform pledge which President Taft
he* insisted must be redeemed. There is
little doubt that the conference report on
th* railroad bill will be approved to-mor
row and M successful has be^n the work
of the cor.ferrees that it I* expected that
all Republican Senators will vote for tjie
repcrt:
A* soon a* the railroad bill Is out of the
wav Senator Carter will move that the Sen
ate agT^e to the House amendments to the
postal savings bank bill. There will be
.-• me discussion of this mo'ion. but Mr.
Carter is confident that this week will see
the redemption of the platform pledge of
th« Republican party to enact a postal sav
in*? bunk law.
Early this week the Senate passed the
Fur.flry civil appropriation bill, which car
ries the $250,000 recommended by Presi
dent Taft to enable the Tariff Board to in
vestigate, both here and abroad, facts re
laiin? to the schedules and the maximum
and minimum clause of the Payne law.
In other words, the Taft programme is
row -well on its way to the statute books.
The Two Statehood Bills.
There are a number of important differ
ences between the Senate and House s-iate
hood bills. Democratic Senators preferred
the House bill, and speeches in its favor
v.-ere made by Senators Frazier, Hughes
MM Bailey. Senators Beveridce and »l
sssi defended the Senate bill. It is provided
in the Senate bill that when the constitu
tions of the proposed states have been-rati
fied by the people. they shall be submitted
to the President and Congress for approval.
It is din provided- that the elections to
ratify the constitutions and- to choose *tate
officers shall be held on different days.
This Senate amendment was Inserted v.-ith
a view to focussing the attention of the
people of the territories on their respec
tive constitutions. It was desired to have
separate elections to the end that the ques
tion of ratifvins the constitutions should
not .A obscured by the strife between the
candidates for office.
The House bill fixes the qualifications of
the voters according to the laws of Arizona
at the present time, whereas the Senate
Mil provides that their qualifications shall
be the same a? those provided for by the
laws of Arizona under which Its present
: Man and Hi present Delegate In
Congress were elected. The Senate bill ex
pressly reiiiscs to recosnize the law pro
posed by the Legislature of Arizona pro
viding a SO-callei educational test for vot
ers. The Senate committee took the pesi
tiT that the effect of the educational test
■would be to disfranchise a large number of
a- rf n who j.r^ among the oldest and most
eubstantiai citizens of Arizona. The lan
r^-»c* of the Senate bill prohibiting polvr
r:r.y if- stronger than that of the House
h:li. Another marked difference between
the bills ir that the House bill permit* the
teaching Of other languages than Eng-lish
in t'ne public schools, whereas the Senate
bill provides that ' : i: th* schools shall be
conducted in English.
Much apprenension has been fell that the
1 ..! would be held -up in conference, but in
m-<!ay"6 discussion much was said to dis
sipate that fear It came in connection
Mith a speech by Senator Nelson. The
Minnesota Senator declared he would do ill
that he could to bring about an agreement
with the Hoys* at the present session.
'11l do all that ! an to bring i: about.**
be saifl. "und I think we can dii it: we
oujjht to dispose of the matter in two or
a mm tafia.**
Senators Carter end Borah concurred in
this view. '•There are two reasons why.
•uc should reach an agreement." Said Mr.
Borah. "One Is that we won't go home
until •« pet it, and the other is that it is
getting too hot to stay here ionper."
Faying that he would prefer, the Senate
till to no statehood legislation. Senator
Bailey declared. that it would be some time
before Congress adjourned if the confer
ence committee did not report an agree
ment.
Kcrireicntatjve Hamilton, of Michigan,
chairman of the House Committee on Ter
titorMa, taid that be had no doubt now of
the enactment of the statehood bill at this
*< .on.
Tpkppkx, Ariz.. June 16.— News of the pas
sage of the statehood bill by the Senate
•w as r«-c«4ved . with wild rejoicing through

achieving statehood at the present session

[From The Tribune Bureau.]
Washington, June 16- .
| TAFT WILL MAKE GOOD.-When the
; question of nominating: a successor to Gov
ernor Hughes was being discussed two
years ago some of the leading members of
the New York delegation were at the White
House talking over the situation with
President Roosevelt. Mr. -Roosevelt re
marked that. In Ms opinion. Mr. Hughes
should be renominated, and some one re
marked that would make the Governor so
big a' figure In the politics of the nation
that he would become a formidable candi
date for the Presidency in 1912. > 'Do you
think so?- asked th» President, turning to
another member. 'I (Jo." was the reply,
and one after another answered the. ques
tion in the same way. When all had spoken
Mr. Roosevelt smiled his characteristic
smile, surveyed the company for a mo
ment and then replied: "Well, you are all
wrong 'Will* Taft will be the nest Presi
dent, and he will be renominated and re
elected. Taft will make good." Whatever
differences may be entertained regarding
the wisdom of Mr. Roosevelt's policies, no
one will question his political sagacity.
There has recently been a. time when many
questioned his wisdom in predicting the
success of Mr. Taft in the White House,
but that time has passed. Everything now
points to the accuracy of Mr. Roosevelt's
forecast. Mr. Taft has made good. From
all parts of the country the reports are
coming, and they all declare that the Presi
dent's popularity Is increasing by leaps and
bounds, that popular sentiment is entirely
in his favor and that the people feel they
have a President in the White House who
stands for their interests. As was asserted
in this column at the time, the turning of
the tide came with the injunction suit
against the Western Traffic Association.
His victory over all the railroads when he
met their representatives at the White
House and induced them to suspend all rate
increases until after the pending railroad
bill shall have become a law completed it,
and the ablest politicians In Congress now
predict that the popularity of the President
will continue to grow at a pace which they
believe will insure a Republican majority in
the next. House.
TBLLTNG THE COLONEL.— Sometime
to-morrow night five men will sit around
Colonel Roosevelt down at the mouth of
New York Harbor and will tell the colonel
a story which will amaze and delight him.
They will describe the wonderful trans
formation which has come over the pros
pects of the Republican party in the last
two weeks. These men will be Jajnes Wil
son, the perennial Secretary of Agricult
ure: George yon L. Meyer, the Secretary
of thf> Navy; Henry Cabot Ix>dge. nenior
Senator from Massachusetts: Representa
tive Nicholas Longworth, Mr. Roosevelt's
son-in-law, and William Loeb. jr.. Collector
of the Port of New Ynrk. Sometime to
morrow evening they will go down the bay
on the Dolphin, and will meet the colonel's
ship, which they will board, and once there
they will proceed to chronicle the events
of the last few weeks. They will agree
that the reports carried to him when he
came out of the African jungle regarding
the fa'lure of the Taft administration were
correct. They will confirm the assertion
which Senator Root made in London, that
at the time when he sailed for The Hague
the prospects for the Taft legislative pro
gramme were anything but bright, that
the leaders of the party had lost interest
and that no Republican feared to vote
against the President. But to nil this they
will add the news that in the last few days
there has come a change: that the Presi
dent has executed a coup aga J nst the rail
roads, or at least in the interest of the
shippers, which has changed the whole
face of the political situation; that to-day
every man thinks twice before he votes
against a measure advocated by the Presi
dent; that the insurgents in lowa have
! been defeated and the regulars heartened
I and that Congress is about to adjourn after
having passed all the Important measures
on the President's legislative programme
and with a record for fidelity to duty and
party discipline which cannot but work to
the great advantage of the party.
ANOTHER VICTORY.— The colonels in
formers will also tell him of another vic
tory of perhaps even more importance in
the long run than the legislation accom
plished. They will tell h'm of the abolition
of the unlimited power of Speaker Cannon
and the broadening of the House rules, a
work which promises to be completed by
th*> adoption of an additional rule permit
ting a majority of the House to discharge
any of It* committees from the consider
ation of a measure on whicii such com
mittee has spent undue time. It is easy
to imagine how the colonel will chuckle
whfii Mr Ix>ngworth tells him how the
Democrats marched valiantly forward to
CRANK AT WHITE HOUSE
Armed Man Who Wanted to See
President Arrested.
I From The Tribune Bureau.]
Washington, June 16.— James Btricklin,
who said he was a miner from Cumberland,
Md.. armed with a loaded revolver and
with fifteen loaded Fhell?, and 5125 in his
pocket.-, appeared at the While House tills
morning and expressed a desire to see
President Taft. The man. who Is forty
eight years old and was fairly well dressed,
was recognized as having called there ju?t
a year at?o under conditions which were
deemed dangerous, and Detective Dal
rytnple took him in charge.
"When he was here a year ago." the de
tective said in reporting the arrest, "he
wa* armed with two revolver?. "
Btricklin was escorted to the guard room
and searched, the loaded revolver, extra
ammunition and money being taken from
him. He had come here from Cumberland,
he paid. 'to see the President, the latter
having advertised in West Virginia papers
that he wanted him to come to the white
House and get ■ sum of money due* him
baaanae of suits in which he had an in
tcreat.
• The President told me to come to the
White House and walk right In," saM lie
visitor, "and that's what 1 was going 10
do."
When Stricklin reached the guard room
■Ad realized that he was going to be
searched he objected, declaring that he was
a citizen and had a right to go armed for
teif -protection. The officers told him it
•..-.- customary for callers at the White
House to submit to being; t-earched before
they lecelved an audience.
"If that is the ease," he said, '"then it is
all richt."
The prisoner was relieved of his valu
ables and sent to the Washington Asylum
Hospital for treatment and observation.
Stricklin was arrested at the White House
on June IT off last rear, and it was at that
time Lhat he was armed with two revolv
ers. He v.a* committed to the govern
ment hospital for the Insane. A month
later he was released as unimproved. He
was discharged from the hospital, it i 3i 3
stated, because relatives promised to take
him home and care far him.
Cumberland. Md., June 16.— The city di
rectory contains no such name as that
of James Stricklin. and mi one could be
found here to-day who knew any men

NEW- YORK DATLV TRIBUXR FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1910
snatch the Republican chestnuts from the
flre- and rob their own party of the issue
of Cannor.ism, and one can almost hear
him exclaim: "Just iike them; just like
them! They always blunder at the proper
t'me:" Then Mr. Lodge wfil add the cheer
ing information that Senators Aldrich and
Hal" have determined to retire from the
Senate, and the colonels laughter will re
sound up and down t he Bay in tones which
will awaken the denizens of Stalin Island
and will send the seagulls scattering to
the Jersey shores. And. finally, Mr. L.oeb
will allay the colonel's alarm regarding
conservation, for the Collector of the Port
is well posted on that subject H*» will tell
Mr. Roosevelt that, despite the dire tales
carried to him in the oltve groves of the
Caramacna Valley, not one power site has
passed into private ownership: that not
an acre of oil or phosphate or coal lands
has been lost to the people of this or
future generations, and then the laughter
cf the colonel will awake the echoes of
Sandy Hook and cause Miss Liberty to
tremble to her foundation?. It will be
great fun telling the colonel, for all the
new? will be good news, and none will
learn that "Taft has made good" with
greater glee than he.
MOODY'S CHANCE.— It is not often that
an opportunity to serve his country by re
signing comes to a man who holds high
office, and when it does it is usually a re
flection on his ability to fil! such office
But such an opportunity has come to Jus
tice Moody, and it is no reflection on his
ability. If Congress shall promptly pass
the L«odge-Glllett bill, which was reported
favorably to both houses to-day, there will
come to Justice Moody an opportunity to
avert what migrht prove a most embarrass
ing situation— a tie vote on some of the
most important measures which the high
est tribunal in the land has ever been called
on to adjudicate. According to the present
programme of the court, the corporation
tax. the Standard OH and the tobacco cases
will come before it at the October term.
All have been ordered to be reargued. But
unless Justice Moody resigns at ones they
will be heard by a court of eight members,
and an even division would leave the de
cision without judicial effect. President
Taft has already announced that he would
net think of making a recess appointment
to this high tribunal, and as the Senate will
not again be in session until December, Mr.
Aloody's successor must be nominated now
or not unti! after the October term.
THE PANAMA EXPOSITION.— With the
wisdom of Solomon the Committee on For
eign Affairs extricated itself from an ex
tremely embarrassing position to-day and
avoided any fhow of preference between
San Francisco and New Orleans, the rival
candidates for the Panama exposition.
There has been sharp division in the House.
and members have lobbied unceasingly in
favor of one or the other city. The ques
tion came sharply before the committee
through the reference to it of two resolu
tions, one inviting the nations of the earth
to take part in an exposition* at San Fran
cisco, the other in an exposition at New
Orleans. Reluctant to take sides between
the rival camps, the committee decided to
place both cities on their mettle, and in
case both should qualify in accordance with
the decision reached to-d;jy the child will
be divided. The committee decided that
any city which shall raise $7,500,000 may
hold an exposition to celebrate the opening
of the Panama Canal, and if both San
Francisco and New Orleans reach this goal
then two resolutions will be reported in
viting the nations to take part in each ex
position. The members of the committee
are congratulating themselves this evening
on their sagacity, and tome cf them con
fidently expect to go down in history as in
the Solomon class.
WIRELESS LEGISLATION. -Senator De
pew, seizing an opportune moment, ob
tained the passage by the Senate to-day oi
his bill placing wireless telegraphy under
the supervision of the Department of Com
merce and Labor. The danger of permit
ting amateurs to send wireless messages
and to pick up those sent by vessels in dis
tress or by the army or navy. etc.. is well
recognized, but the numerous concerns
which find a profitable trade in supplying
apparatus to amateurs have hitherto suc
ceeded in exerting an influence sufficient to
prevent favorable consideration of Mr.
Depew's measure, despite The fact that it
is cordially indorsed by all the departments
of the government which may be affected
by the reckless sending of Hertzian waves
and messages. It is hoped that some mem
ber of the New York delegation in the
House will now tnke the measure in hand,
and that It also may be added to the long
list of excellent bills adopted at this ses
sion. G. G. H.

BOND ISSUE BILL HELD OP
Contest Between President snd
House "0!d Guard."
TAFT SUMMONS LEADERS
Urges Prompt Action — Contest
Over Rules May Be Averted by
Concession to Insurgents.
[From Thn Tribune Bureau.] -
Washington, June 16.— The closing hours
of the session in the House promise to be
enlivened by a struggle between the Presi
dent and the "old guard" over the land
withdrawal bill, which passed the Senate
yesterday. with an amendment providing
for a $30,000,000 bond issue for the use of
the Reclamation Service.
The bond bill has been pigeonholed in the
Ways and Means Committee since early In
the session. The massive forms of such
leaders as Representatives Sereno E.
Payne, Samuel W. McCall and Champ
Clark had sat on it consistently, and as a
result of their ffforts the entire member
ship of the committee is bent on fighting a
favorable report. Although President Taft
in his conservation message pointed out
that the bond issue was necessary in order
that the government should be enabled to
keep faith with settlers who had entered
on reclamation projects, the committ»*e has
never seriously contemplated favorable ac
tion. Secretary Balllhger and other officials
of the Interior Department appeared re
peatedly and urged that the issue be au
tho-ized, but Mr. Payne and his colleagues
declared that was unprecedented and
wholly unnecessary. They now have an
additional grievance in the fact that all
revenue producing measures should origi
nate, in the House and that the Senate ha^
assumed a prerogative Which does not prop
erly belong to it.
When President Taft was Informed of the.
position taken by the Ways and Means
(/ommittee he immediately summoned
Speaker Cannon, Representative Payne and
tht> other Republican members of the com
mittee and Senators Carter and Curtis, who
are interested in the legislation, to the
White House. He explained that he con
sidered the legislation of vital importance,
and urged his visitors to make every effort
tf> effect a compromise by which the meas
ure couid be passed as speedily as possible.
Speaker Cannon and Mr. Payne explained
in him that it was necessary for the bill
as amended to go to the Ways and Means
Committee under the rules of the House, as
it affects the revenue. He said the only
way to prevent this was for the Rules Com
mittee to bring in a special rule by l
the Senate bill could be considered in the
House- without submission to a committee.
This action is not considered advisable by
the leaders, in view of the present attitude
of the Insurgents and Democrats toward
special rules, and many of the regulars
would oppose a rule designed to further the
passage of this bill.
It is probable that the measure will be
sent to the Ways and Means Committee,
where it will rest until the President has
convinced Mr. Payne and his colleagues
that it should be reported, or until the
House takes the bill in its teeth, discharges
the committee and passes the bill. Mem
bers Of the committee held a brief confer
once after their return from the White
House, but no progress was made, and a
further meeting was called for to-morrow.
To Amend Rules Again.
While the Ways and Means Committee
was busy with the President, the Rules
Committee was having an important ses
sion attempting to forestall the insurgents.
It has all along been certain that further
amendments to the House rules would be
proposed before the end of the session by
insurgents and Democrats. In the last few
days it has been agreed among the former
that an amendment whereby the House
might be empowered to discharge its com
mittees from the consideration of impor
tant measures would be most acceptable.
The Rules Committee to-day, however,
agreed that it would report just such a
resolution to the House. The resoultion to
be proposed is practically that of Repre
sentative Sherley, of Kentucky, although
some modifications have been proposed by
Representatives Hamilton Fish and Champ
Clark. It provides that any member of the
House desiring to discharge a committee
from the consideration of a bill .shall nrsst
file notice of his intent!* n with the clerk of
the House. On a day set aside for the pur
pose this notice will be taken from the
Speaker's table.
In order that a committee may be dis
charged, the motion must obtain the vote
or a majority of the House. The bill is
then placed on the House calendar and
acted upon in its regular order. Regulars,
inburgents and Democrats all will support
the rule, and it is probable that its adop
tion will end the rules fight for the present
session. The insurgents, in the main, do
not desira a resolution deposing Speaker
Cannon, but it was reported to-day that
hevera.l Democrats contemplated making
such a motion, against the wishes of the
Democratic leaders.
The insurgents assembled, about twenty
five in number, in the room of Representa
tive Lenroot, in the House Office Building,
and discussed the sort of rule they would
vote for. It was the general opinion that

one from Louisiana and the other from Cali
fornia— were in the corridor on which ttvj
committee room Is located.
The feeling in the committee was that it
would be unfair to choose between the two
cities when each was ready to meet the
other's claim,, and that both, if necessary. ;
might hold their, expositions in the same ,
year. so far as the committees act.on was ,
concerned, although such a course might ,
be, impracticable and unprecedented. The ;
vote was unanimous. Representative Fos- ,
ter, of Vermont, chairman of the commit
tee and other members announced that
there was no Idea of any action by Con
tries'' at this- session.
Before the executive meeting of the com
mittee a representative of San Francisco |
argued that his city had raised more than
JSOOOOOO by public subscription. and
wanted to raise the limit in the Kahn reso- !
lution from *.*»,<>* to 57.300.PW. A member ,
of the committee hurried outside and talked
with Representative Estopinal.
-Will New Orleans meet that amount?"
ho asked. i
"Yes," replied Mr. Estopinal: "we have j
already raised $5,000,000 and can easily ob
tain the rest."
Back went word to the committee, and.
following an animated discussion, the
figure In the resolutions went up to $7,500,000.
The preliminary battle, in committee was ;
on a motion to postpone action on the Kahn ;
resolution until December. This motion was
lost.by a close vote, Butler Ames, of Massa
chusetts, a Republican, voting with the
Democrats in favor of New Orleans. Mr.
Ames is a grandson of General Benjamin
P. Butler, whose command of the Union
forces in New Orleans in the Civil War fur
nished an exciting narrative in national
history.
The adoption of the Kahn resolution was
then moved, but was lost, and the two
resolutions were then coupled and adopted
by the committee.
San Francifco, June W.— "We will raise all
that and more," said Homer S. King,
president of the Panama-Pacific exposition,
when h* saw th<* dispatch from Washing
ton saying that both San Francisco and
New Orleans must rai^e $7,500,000 to gain
national support.
R. P. Hale, acting chairman of the finance
committee of the exposition, said: "There
Is no question but that San Francisco is
able and ready to raise all the money neces
sary to assure holding the exposition in
thla city."
At a meeting of the stockholders of the
Panama Pacific Kxposition Company this
afternoon the necessary sum was pledged
to raise the present subscription of approx
imately KOOO.OOO to the $7,500,000 required
to obtain national aid for the fair. If the
amount is not subscribed this week the
present subscribers will be assessed to
make up the remainder. Resolutions were
adopted informing the Senate Committee
on Industrial Expositions and the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs of the pledge
and requesting that Congress be urged to
act at this session.
Baton Rouge. L*i.. June 15.— "Louisiana
will raise, it." said Governor Sanders to
night when h-= heard of the action of the
Foreign Affairs Committee in regard to the
Panama exposition.
BEE STINGS KILL HORSES.
Washington, June 16.— Two horses were
stung to death by bees to-day, and the
negro driver barely escaped with his life.
His face is swollen to .twice- its natural
size and both eyes are closed. The horses,
made wild by a couple of. bees which had
been stinging them, ran in among the hives
and upset them. The bees belonged to Dr.
Reginald Munson, who lives on the Virginia
side of the Potomac, opposite the capital.

RETIREMENT FOR MOODY
: Practically Assured by Favor
able Reports on Bills.
Washington. June IC— retirement of
Associate Justice Moody, of "the Supreme
Court of the United States, on full pay
i was practically assured to-day by the ac
tion of the Senate and House Committees
on Judiciary In favorably reporting the
hills Introduced yesterday by Senator f,o<lK»>
and Representative Gillett. of Massachu
setts-
In the Senate Chairman Clark asked for
Immediate consideration, but withdrew his
motion temporarily at the suggestion of
Senator Bar-on in order that there might
| be a larger attendance to consider a meas
ure of such Importance. It Is planned to
take up the bill In the Hou3« to-morrow,
and. so far as can be learned, there Is no
opposition to the passage of the bills in
either branch. '/:'? : '.'l
The bills were amended so as " require
the resignation of Justice Moody within
1 five months, Instead of six months, as orig
inally provided. This would ha.> the resig
nation take effect In advance of the next
session of Congress, and without making
it compulsory, apparently, was Intended to
Invite immediate resignation, so that action
might be had he for* the adjournment of
the present session If President Taft were
ready to name Justice Moody' s successor.
Several Senators discussed the question
whether the President would appoint a
member of the Supreme Court to succeed
Justice Moody in the recess of Congress.
Members of the committee were unwilling
to be quoted on that subject, but It was
said that the concensus of opinion was as
follows:
"So man who is fit to sit as a member
of the Supreme Court of the United States
would take his seat in advance of confirma
tion by the Senate. If a man appointed In
a recess of Congress should begin service in
advance of approval by the Senate the
members of the Judiciary Committee would
be unanimously in favor of rejecting the
appointment"
Several members of the Judiciary Com
mittee were authority for the foregoing
statement, but In discussing the situation
they stipulated that their views should not
be directed to the particular case in issue,
but that a principle was Involved.
The advantage of Justice Moody ? suc
cessor being appointed and qualifying be
fore Congress adjourns 13 recognized. It
would make it possible for the reargument
of the Standard Oil. Tobacco and corpora
tion tax cases next fall to take place be
fore a full bench. Otherwise the vacancy
would continue to exist until Congress con
firmed he apolntment at the session be
ginning in December.
President Taft has announced that he
never would appoint any one to a place In
the Supreme Court in a recess of Congress,
which makes it certain that Justice
Moody's successor will be named within
