THE MORNING OREGONTAN, FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1906. STATEHOOD SENT TO CONFERENCE House Disagrees With Senate Amendments After Vain Protest. (RULE CHOKES OPPOSITION fCnnnoa 'Carries Out Programme With Small Majority, Insur gents Holding Out 'to Last. Adam Bcdc, Humorist. WASHINGTON. March . 22. The fstatohood bill was taken from the Speaker's table in the House today, placed in the hands of three selected conferees and a request made of the Senate for a conference on the disa greeing votes of the two houses. This action was not accomplished without mnny words and votes. It was devel oped, howevor, that there were votes enough to carry out the programme of the leaders. Then followed 40 minutes of ilery speeches, some of which pro voked much amusement among the large attendance of members and the crowded galleries. Then came the linal vote on the adoption of the rule, which J 75 members approved and 156 lopposcd. The legislative appropriation hill constituted the subject for the remain der of the day. Criticism was made of the management of the Library of Con gross and Hard wick, of Georgia, found himself opposed by members of both sides uf the chamber in his endeavor to restrict the White House appropria tion so iis to eliminate a social secre tary for the wife of the President. Dnlzcll's Double-Headed Rule. Dalzcll, of Pennsylvania, presented a spoclal rule from the rules commit tee. It provided that the statehood bill bo taken from the Speaker's table, that in so doing the Senate amend ments bo disagreed to and a confer ence bo asked of the Senate, and that the Speaker immediately appoint the House conferees. Dalzcll, as soon as the rule had been road, demanded the previous question, which, if ordered, carried with it 40 min utes' debate, to be divided equally be tween the friends and opponents of the rule. On a rising vote, 149 voted for the previous question and 124 against. On demand of Williams, the minority leador, a rollcall was ordered.. The rofl call resulted in ordering the previous question, the vote being 171 to 140. The Republicans who voted with the Demo crats against ordering the previous ques tions were: Adams, Babeock. Bannon, Bcde, Beldler, Bonynge. Brown, Caldcr licad, Cushman, Davidson, Esch, French, Pulkerson, Glllfette (Cal.), Goelet, Gron lau, Hayes, Hermann, Howell, Humph rey (Wash.), Jones (Wash.), Kennedy. Knowland, ilcKInley, McCreary. Mc lachlan, McMorran. Marshall, Mondell, Mudd. Murphy, Necdham. Tyndall, Smith (Cal.), Wachter, Welborn, Woodyard.. Young. Dalzell was recognized for 20 minutes jind. began an -explanation .of the -reason for'.flicBBpeclal rule- There were, he said. butnOrrec ways t dispose of the bill. One was tolaenil it lo committee. Another to ask unanimous consent and send it to conference, and this would be impos sible. The third was the method adopted. It was proper to send the bill to confer ence and there could be no just criticism of the orderly course pursued. Williams Full of Irony. In opposition, Williams, tho Demo cratic lloor leader, pointed out that a vote to adopt the special rule was a voto agains concurrence in the Sen ate amendments. Ordinarily under the rules of the House a motion to con cur would be in order. "The usual course of procedure this morning ought to be reversed, he continued. "We ought to have had first tho reading and approval of tho journal, then the moving of the pre vious question on this rule, and then an invocation by the chaplain for tho morcy of God upon this Republican JIousc." lApplause.) "In my opinion they will need it be fore they get through monkeying with this proposition," ho added. He said if it was the purpose to put up a bluff now and yield to tho Senate later, the procedure now was child's play. He refused, he said, to give any .more advice. He had previously ex pressed his opinion. A severe castigatlon of the party organization was made by Humphrey (Rep.. Wash.). Fulkerson (Dem., Mo.) followed along the same lines. Sibley (Dem., Pa.) acknowledged tho rocolpt of many letters and telegrams in favor of tho Senate bill, and want od to say that telegraph tolls were being wasted. These messages should bo sent to the other end of tho Capi tol. When Babeock was given three mlnutos there was applause. He pre dicted that today's action sending tho bill to conference was the last that would be heard of it during the pres ent session. The special rule was sim ply a method of preventing a vote on concurrence. Bcdc, the Humorist, Talks. Defense of tho method was made by Grosvcnor, after which a flve-mlnuto speech by Bcde (Rep.. Minn.) kept tho liouse in convulsions of laughter. He was against the rule. If there was any mem ber against admitting Oklahoma he want ed him to stand accused. "If we arc in favor of admitting Okla homa, why don't you get busy?" was asked. "You can do It in about eight minutes. Do it. and not hitch tip the proposition with some other." (Applause.) "It reminds me of tho way Noah put the animals in the ark: ' " 'Ho numbered the animals two by two; the elephant and the kangaroo!' .,'Thb hitching of Oklahoma and the New Mexican proposition was Hko the two Mormon boys who went Bast to school. They were of tho same name and age. The last question askod was If they wero twins. " 'Yes, on our father's side' "Yes, this applied to Arizona and New Mexico, both from Mexico, but different in all other respects. "But you say we are against the Ad ministration." he continued. "I am not. I have been with tho Administration in everything he has done except this bill and his wifebeating bill. (Laughter.) "In his message a year ago he gave fight lines advocating the whippingpost. This year he gave 13 lines for tho two territories. Good Work for Longworth. ' "Oh, I like the President because he is "engaged in a great work, does great deeds, has high resolves and lofty pur poses, hut I don't have to stand for little indifferent things that the leaders of the House got him to put in his message, and then ascribe it as his policy. "I, like kim most because lie permitted 4 a member of this House to break Into his private home without sounding an alarm." This sails produced laughter, as all eyes sought Longworth. who occupied ono of the front scats and joined in the levity. "I like him because -when he got ready to give his daughter away, he gave her to a real American, In every way worthy, and not to some degenerate Prince (pro longed applause). And I like him be cause when he gave her away he gave her to the House of action and correction at this end of the Capitol, and not to the House of detention at the other end of the Capitol. (Laughter.) "As to the statehood matter, it would be far better statesmanship to fight tho Senate on some measure on which It had made a mistake. In this Instance tho Senate Is right and the House wrong. Never has the country had so able a Sen ate as today." "They talk about the Senate holding up the entire country. Why, wo have a .strong man in this House who can hold up 100,000 square miles moro than anybody In the Senate," ho declared. (Laughter.) De Armond (Mo.) spoke briefly, and Dalzell closed for It, urging members to uphold the President and the House. The resolution was then adopted upon a roll call, the vote being 175 to 156. Thb Republican vote against the rule gained Brooks. Darragh, Minor. Otjen and Boeder, and lost Tyndall and Welborn. over the vote on ordering the previous question. Williams Final Thrust, While the Speaker was appointing Hamilton (Mich.), Brick (Ind.) and Moon (Tenn.) as conferees. Williams was Bhouting loudly for recognition. When recognized, Williams presented a motion Instructing the conferees to accept tho Senate amendment omitting Arizona and Now Mexico from the bill. Both Payne and Dalzell mado the point of order that this motion was not now In order, the rule having been adopted and the conferees appointed. The Speaker sustained this polht. after Williams had argued briefly against It. He then took an appeal from the decision of the chair. Dalzell moved to lay the appeal on the table, which motion was sustained on a rising vote. 146 to SI. This ended the statehood procedure. The special order to consider war claims was postponed to Friday of next week, and the legislative appropriation bill was taken up. Librarian Under Fire. When that portion of tho bill providing for the Library of Congress was reached, a somewhat Intense debate was Indulged in. Hepburn of Iowa took the floor in criticism of Its management and cost of maintenance, which amounted to nearly JS00.003 a year. When the Interest on the cost of the building was figured, the total will aggregate J1.300.OX). At this point he diverted to criticism of the efficiency of the Librarian. An animated defense was made by Burton of Ohio. Perkins of New York and Llttlcucld of Maine. Hepburn maintained that he was not opposed to the library, but to the useless expenses incurred by "this man Putnam," over whom no one had supervision. Hnrdwick Gets No Backers. When the section of the bill appro priating for the executive offices and sal ary of the President was reached. Hard wick of Georgia Inquired what paragraph provided for salary of the social secretary of the wife of the President. Llttauer replied that he did not know that any such salary was provided. Hardwick suited that he wished to make a point of order against the provision If he could locate It. Not being able to do this, he offered an amendment providing that no part of the appropriation should be used to pay the salary to a person to perform tho duties of social secretary to the wife of the President or any service d that nature. Grosvcnor counseled Hardwick to with draw the amendment. Ho spoke of the high official station of the wife of the President, of the modest establishment rrmr nr MWMMwMmmi THE WOMAN'S STORE LADIES' OUTFITTERS LEADING FURRIERS Fourth and Morrison Streets $8.50 for New The newest Spring models in tight-fitting hack and box coats, mado from all wool tan covert cloth, self-trimmed, with collar and collarless; lined throughout with splendid lining, new est sleeve; turn-back (o pr cuff, special at 53" with price BRILLIANT DISPLAY OP Our display ot Millinery is reminiscent of Spring.

Hardwick insisted that he meant no dis respect to the wife of the President what soever. Efforts were being made to pre vent the diversion of appropriations, and pimor said that such an abuse existed in the White House. The motion being put. Hardwick seemed to be the, only one vot ing In favor of his proposition. The House thenat 5:30. adjourned until tomorrow. WILL RIGHT IRISH WRONGS BOTH PARTIES Ef PARLIAMENT ADMIT THE1 EXIST. AVyndham Favors Educational Re form and Brycc Promises Meas ures to Give Redress. LONDON, March 22. Irish legislative grievances were the subject of a long de bate tonight In the House of Commons. Irish members declared that the existing system is deplorable, and tltat Ireland never will rest until she obtains a uni versity representing the Interests of the Catholic majority. George Wyndham. Chief Secretary for Ireland In tho Balfour Cabinet, also -spoke strongly In favor of reform, declaring that. If Ireland were given the same facilities for education as England, old feuds would be appeased. James Brycc, the new Chief Secretary for Ireland, on behalf of the government, made a conciliator' speech, admitting the existence of the grievances. He said tho government had not had time to formulate a polio, hut the matter had his constant attention, and he did not despair of finding a scheme of reconciling the conflicting Interests. The government, ho added, also was considering a schemo to promote the study of the Gaelic lan guage.
