GANNON AND PAYNE FALSE Battle Over Issue Now Likely to Postpone Adjournment. INSURGENTS PROMISE AID Filibuster Will Be Resorted to In Senate to Compel House to Re deem Pledges Borah. Sees Some Hope of Winning. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, June 16. Notwithstanding the fact that Speaker Cannon and Chair man Payne of the ways and means committee of the House both assured President Taft within the past few days that they would push through the House the $30,000,000 bill to complete irrigation projects, these leaders called at the White House this morning and re pudiated their pledge, informing the President they would not agree to the acceptance of this bill as an amendment to the withdrawal bill, which passed the Senate yesterday, nor -would they pass It as a separate measure. Immediately the President sent for Senator Borah an., for all the Repub lican members of the ways and means committee, including Ellis, of Oregon, and urged them to agree upon some plan whereby both the withdrawal bill and the $30,000,000 bill could be passed. The House leaders, backed by some of the committee. Insisted that the irriga tion bill could not be put through the House In any. form, and when Borah recalled their promise the President de clared the promise had been made to him and he still believed It would be kept. Knll Amount Demrided. Nevertheless, House leaders refused to budge. When compromise Tas sug gested Senator Borah and Representa - tlve Ellis balked. They declared that nothing short of $30,000,000 would suf fice, for if a less amount were granted It -would not accomplish the purpose sought and probably would be allotted entirely to states with the strongest "pulls," leaving other states absolutely without benefit. When the conference was concluded It was agreed to call the ways - and means committee in session tomorrow to discuss the situation. Senator Bo rah this afternoon canvassed the situ ation in the House, and tonight tele phoned the President that It was ap parent that the House leaders were de termined to kill irrigation outright, and in view of that fact he felt com pelled to say to the President that th conference report on -withdrawal woul not be agreed to by the Senate unless it carried the full $30,000,000 bill -with it- His Intimation was that any effort to drop the irrigation bill in conference would be resisted by filibuster, which -would prolong the session Indefinitely and postpone adjournment. "ProDnrelve" Offer Help. When the attitude of House leaders became known in the Senate today nine "progressive" Senators held a confer ence and sent word to Senator Borah that they would stand by him in what ever move he felt called upon to make to insure the passage of the $30,000,000 bill, meaning that they would Join in any filibuster he inaugurated in behalf of this measure. Senator Heyburn is also backing up this movement to force the House lead ers to keep their promise and stands , ready to Join with Borah in filibuster ing upon measures which the leaders want and which must be passed before adjournment. Borah and Heyburn backed by nine insurgents, -will be able to carry on the filibuster that will pro long the sessions, and they mean to open operations tomorrow. Senator Borah believes that the sit uation is not hopeless and he and Hey burn, backed by the Insurgents, will resist all attempts at compromise look ing to reducing the amount of the irri gation bill, as well as all efforts to defeat the proposition outright. Deep feeling has been created by this abrogation of pledges made to the President, and a bitter fight is in sight unless Cannon and the House leaders yield. Davis Indorses Project. Need for $30,000,000 became more ap parent than ever today when Chief En gineer Davis, of the reclamation serv ice, reported from the field at Path finder, Wyo that work on many of the projects was being retarded ser iously and that the wa'er rights of many are placed in Jeopardy for the lack of money. Large sums now tied up in storage projects would begin to make returns If the service had the available money to complete them, he reported. It haa been generally supposed that the Reclamation Service was against the $30,000,000 feature. Mr. Davis him self In the hearing before the House ways and means committee was ap parently not favorable to it. and Di rector Newell refused to commit him self to It. The Indorsement of Engineer Davis ' . In the field, therefore, came as a great fsucp rise to the Interior Department. DUAL LIFE THEORY TO SOLVE MYSTERY PSYCHOLOGISTS PUZZLED OVER OAKLAND' GIRL CASE.

Once for all 'I want to remove all fear that Jeffries and Johnson will not meet in the ring on July 4. There need be no cancellation of special trains or tickets. Those who intended coming to San Francisco can come as planned and feel assured that they will see the fight." This was the statement made to the Associated Press tonight by Tex Rickard soon after Southern Pacific officials ad vised the promoter that six special fight trains had been cancelled during the day. Rickard was greatly agitated by this In formation and also over the fact that many orders are being received to cancel or re-sell fight tickets. Rickard Fights Against Hope. Rickard admitted that he did not have the slightest hope of pulling off the fight in San Francisco and that every day of indecision as to where it would take place merely increased his financial loss. - "If the court grants an injunction here I leave for Reno Sunday morning and will immediately commence to erect an arena there," hie said. "My attorneys have advised me not to buck the Gov ernor and Attorney-General, but I have agreed to wait until Saturday. "It's a bitter pill to me and a heavy loss, but I shall take my medicine and keep my word to pull off this fight if it is the last thing I do." Reno to Get light. For once, Rickard was "fight sick." He did not deny it. While not yet ready to announce so officially the promoter vir tually admitted that the fight would take place at Reno.

He has the pub lished assurances of the Attorney-General that that official will file applica tion for an Injunction against the match tomorrow.

STATEHOOD BILL GETS SOLID VOTE Senate Passes Substi tute Measure. FINAL AGREEMENT PROBABLE Fear of Tie-Up in Conference Not Entertained. TWO NEW STARS IN FLAG Arizona and Xew Mexico Admitted to Separate Statehood by Act Af ter Constitutions Are Adopted, and Ratified at Washington. . WASHINGTON, June 16. After re maining on the Senate calendar for almost three months, the bill providing for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico to separate statehood was taken up by the Senate today and passed after a debate lasting a little more than two hours. The measure was called up by Sen ator Beveridge, chairman of the com mittee on territories, and was passed after speeches by Senators Beveridge, Frazier, Nelson, Hughes and Smoot All the speeches were favorable to the cre ation of the two states, but the Demo crats favored the House bill. Division in Senate. When the vote was reached there was a division on 'the Senate substitute for the House bill, but vlth that amend ment accepted the Senate voted solidly for the passage of the bill. The Sen ate substitute was adopted as an amendment to the. House measure by a strictly party vote, the ballot stand ing 42 to 19. As- amended, th bill provides for the admission as states of the two terri tories, but not until after a constitu tion has been adopted by each of them, approved by the President and ratified by Congress. ' Smooth Track Ahead. Much apprehension has) been felt that the bill would tie up in conference in the House, but during the day's dis cussion much was said to dissipate that fear. It came in connection with a speech by Senator Nelson and In a re sponse by Democratic Senators. The Minnesota Senator said he would do all he could to bring about an agree ment with the House during the pres ent session. Senators Carter and Borah thought It ought to be disposed of in two or three days. "There are two reasons why we should reach an agreement," Mr. Borah said. "One is that we won't go home until we get It and the other is that it is getting too hot to stay here long." Bailey Utters Warning. Saying he would prefer- the Senate bill to no statehood legislation. Senator Bailey asserted it would be some time before Congress adjourned if the con ference committee cid not reach an agreement. Speaking for the Democratic minority of the committee on territories. Senator Frazier contended that both Arizona and New Mexico were prepared for state hood. He said that 12,000,000.000 tons of coal are estimated to be In New Mexico. Mr. Frazier advocated the House bill In preference to the Senate measure. He found fault with the latter measure, he said, because It undertook to fix the qualification of voters In Arizona. Xelson Favors Senate Bill. Senator Nelson favored the Senate bill but said he was not strongly partial to it. (Concluded on Page 3.) GILLETT'S DETERMINATION TO - C. M.
