3 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY. JUNE 2, 1900. CANNOT HOLD SEAT Senate Committee Decides Against Smoot. QUESTION GOES TO SENATE Motion Declaring Scat Vacant Voted Down Tie on Motion to Expel. Senate Mast Decide on Method of Procedure. WASHINGTON. June 1. That Reed Pirioot 1b not entitled to his seat in the United States Senate a a Senator from Utah was the decision of the Senate com mittee on. privileges and elections, de clared today by a vote of 7 to 6. The resolution on the subject of exclu sion was introduced by Senator Foraker as a test of the question whether Senator Bmoot could be ousted from his seat by a majority vote of the Senate, or a two thirds vote. The resolution declared that It is the sense of the committee that Benator Smoofs seat shall be declared vacant. If carried, this would be equiva lent to a recommendation that he be excluded by a majority vote. It was lost by a vote of 7 to 6, the affirmative votes beinjr Senators Burrows, Dolllver, Pcttifs, Imbols and Frazier, and the negative votes Senators Foraker, Dillingham, Hopkins, Beveridge, Knox, Bailey and Overman. Motion to Expel Rejected Senator Bailey then offered a resolution declaring the sense of the committee to be that Senator Smoot should be ex pelled from his seat, which would be a recommendation that the Senate take the course requiring a two-thirds vote of the Senate to unseat him. The result was a tie vote. Senators Burrows. Pet tus, Dubois, Bailey, Overman and Fra zier In the affirmative, and Senators For aker, Dolllve.r, Beveridge, Dillingham, Hopkins and Knox in the negative. The debate during the deliberations was indulged in by nearly every Senator. That devoted to the constitutional question of expulElon or exclusion was the most heat ed. Senators Bailey and Overman, who nrgued in favor of the resolution declaring that the Utah Senator is not entitled to his scat, were of the opinion that after the oath lias been administered to a Sen ator, the only possible procedure against him is to expel him from his seat, and there could be no question as to this pro cedure requiring a two-thirds vote of the Senate. The Senator voting In favor of the method requiring only a majority of the Senate to unseat argued that the offense. If any has been committed, existed at the time the oath of office was taken, and that the protests are not in relation to any offense of origin since the oath was taken. During the last week petitions from women have been sent to Senators from nearly every state and territory, protesting against Mn Smoot's being re tained as a member of the Senate. Senate Must Choose Procedure. The effect of the resolution adopted will be to place squarely before the Senate the question whether Senator Smoot shall continue in his seat and leave to that body the decision as to the method of proced ure. A majority. It Is said, can declare that It Is the sense of the Senate that Mr. Smoot be excluded, and, under the form of the resolution, proceed to unseat him by that method. Chairman Burrows, who will draft the report. Is of the opinion, as is also Sonator Dubois, who has directed I he fight against the Utah Senator, that the Senate can decide for Itself the pro cedure, and that, If a majority says ex clude instead of expel, that will be the method pursued. The report under the instructions of the committee will be ready to be offered to the Senate on Friday next. Mr. Burrows and Mr. Dubois express themselves as confident that a vote will bo had at the present session. Will Ask Senate to Vote. Just before the committee adjourned Beveridge moved that the chairman. Burrows, be Instructed to immediately inform the Senate of the action that had been taken by the committee and to request that a day be fixed for a vote at the present session. This motion car ried. Members of the committee be lieved that under this Instruction Bur rows would give notice to the Senate today, but he did not do bo. It is ex pected he will make the announcement tomorrow and at that time he will ask that a day be fixed for a vote. Members of the Senate who have con sidered the action of the committee on privileges and elections are not agreed ss to the meaning of the resolution adopted declaring that Senator Reed Smoot is not entitled to his scat. Many of them declare that, if the same reso lution were passed by the Senate, it would be an improper procedure and meaningless. Others say that, if the Senate decides a member is not entitled to his seat, this action would create a vacancy. The report from the Commit tee is awaited for an explanation. Will Be Minority Report. Burrows will draw the report. This will set forth the adoption of the Du bois resolution and the votes had on the motions to declare Smoot's seat va cant and to expel him, both of which failed of adoption. After the committee adjourned For aker, Hopkins, Dillingham, Beveridge and Knox held an Informal meeting and went over a. statement which is being prepared by Foraker explaining his reasons for the position he has taken and reviewing the Smoot investigation. Those who met with him today prac tically agreed to sign this statement and make It their report. 1OTjLIVKR'S switch did it Action on Smoot Case Vnllkely, Though Dubois Is Anxious. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Juno 1. The result of the vote of the Senate committee on the Smoot case was a surprise to most Senators. Dolll ver, who had the controlling vote, only recently declared his intention to vote for Smoot, but by switching he broke the tie and made a majority of two votes for the Dubois resolution. However, the report of the committee in not generally believed to foreshadow the expulsion of Smoot at this session. Chairman Burrows will not report the case until June 7, and, according to pres ent plans, will not actively open the case until June 11. This, will not gi-e much time for debate on this highly-Important question, unless Congress should decide to prolong Its session into July, and there is general opposition to this. In most quar ters it is believed that the Smoot case will btf allowed to go over until the short session though Dubois, of Idaho, says there will be a vote before adjournment and that Smoot will be thrown out. Dubois is more interested in this case than any other Senator, not excepting Smoot. for on the. result of the contest depends his future. If there should be a vote this session and Smoot should be de prived of his seat, it would strengthen Dubois at home and give him a fair ihance of re-election, but If the vote should be In Pmoot's favor, it would have a tendency to quash Mormonism as a po litical issue and mean certain doteat tor Dubois'. If Dubois can satisfy himself that there will be votes enough to pry Smoot loose from ills scat, he will exert himself to bring about a vote before adjournment, but if after a careful canvass it is ap parent that the majority of the Senate will vote in favor of Smoot. a strong ef fort will be made to postpone a final vote until next session. Dubois would rather make his own campaign for re-election on a committee- report adverse to Smoot than be compelled to go into the cam paign after losing his Mormon fight In the Senate, or If the Senate, following Burrows' speech, shall decide that It will require a two-thirds vote to unseat Smoot, the opponents of the Mormon Senator will endeavor to stave off action until next Winter, for it is an absolute certainty that two-thirds of the Senate Is not In favor of such action. Indeed, a good majority of the Senate today be lieves Smoot should not be disturbed, but Smoot's enemies have cleverly brought to bear a vast array of antt-Smoot petitions from women of practically every state in the Union, and it Is their Intention to in timidate Senators Into voting against their convictions. It Is said that these threats are responsible for Dolllver's change of front. Senators Fulton and Gearln will vote for Smoot. ' E COMMISSIONER M'DOXAXiD MAY RELEASE THEM. Local Federal Officials Declare That AVI scon sin Man Is Usurping: Au thority In Land-Fraud Case. MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 1. (Special.) Unless the Federal authorities in Ore gon are able within three weeks to pro cure more evidence that shall connect the five Oshkosh lumbermen recently indict ed for alleged land frauds in the State of Oregon with such alleged frauds, the Oshkosh men will be discharged: and fully exonerated from the charge. The examination was ended today at the Federal Court, and the testimony showed conclusively that the defendants were Innocent of the charges. When the testimony and arguments had been concluded. Court Commissioner McDonald announced that there was no probable cause for holding the defend ants and that he must discharge them. The United States District Attorney then asked for a continuance of three weeks, so as to enable him to get Into communi cation with the Oregon officials, and as certain whether or not they had other testimony or could get other testimony in the case. He promised that he would act diligently, and if he received a nega tive answer from Oregon he would im mediately inform the Oshkosh people. No further delay will be brooked. United States Commissioner McDon ald, of Wisconsin, Is liable to become Involved In a serious predicament If he persists in the interpretation of his duties along the lines Indicated by a press dispatch from Milwaukee yesterday. It was announced that he has decided to dis charge the group of Oshkosh lumbermen recently Indicted by the Federal grand Jury of Oregon unless the Government Is In a position within the next threo weeks to furnish more conclusive evi dence of their guilt than is contained in the indictments. Local Federal officials declare that While a United States Commissioner might be justified in questioning the suf ficiency of an information filed against a defendant by a United States District Attorney, and require additional evidence to sustain the demand for his removal to another state, or even to hold him for trial, the indictment Itself is probable cause for the return of prisoners, without imposing upon the Government the ne cessity of showing its hand by proceed ings of the character In question. Federal officials at this place were highly Incensed yesterday at what they consider Commissioner McDonald's usur pation of power, providing his attitude in the case has been correctly reported- FRENCH EXPEL THE.WOMEN Suffragists Receive No Quarter When Disturbing Chamber.

LAST OF STATEHOdD Conferees Plan to Bury Bill in Hostile Senate. ADOPT FORAKER SCHEME Admit Oklahoma and Indian Terri tory and Iiet Others Vote on Union Cannot Get Ma jority in Senate. "WASHINGTON, Juno 1. Tho latest move in the controversy between the Senate and House on the statehood question has just been revealed In con nection with the plan to bring in a re port from the conference committee to morrow. This report is to provide for the immediate admission of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one state, with the further provision. In "the exact lan guage of the original Foraker amend ment, that Arizona and New Mexico shall vote separately on the question of their admission as one state. Puts Onus on Senate. This report is to be submitted first to the Senate for its action. Should It be rejected, as has been predicted by those who have made a close canvasa of that body, the responsibility for the failure to admit Oklahoma and Indian Territory, and also the failure to allow the other two territories to themselves decide the question of their admission will be placed with the Senate. Should this report fail of ratification in the Senate, it is believed the House will rest the case without further action of any kind, after emphasizing the fact that the Senate and not the House is responsible for the failure of action. e Gives Insurgents Their Way. The Foraker amendment, as it is known, is the exact provision on which the "statehood insurgents" made their losing fight in the House when the bill was under consideration In that body. Speaker Cannon and House leaders who have supported him in his statehood position have carefully considered the present movement, and all Indications point to the conclusion that they are willing to drop the question Indefinitely should the insurgents refuse to accept this basis of compromise. After It became known in the Senate Oh! what are so rare as the White Bargains of June? Then, if ever, comes boundless worth in plentiful values ! come folks' , man, or: the daily cases For ' away that the conferees had agreed upon the Foraker amendment of a year ago, and had abandoned the Burrows amend ment cutting New Mexico and Arizona out of the bill, a poll w,as taken to de termine the acceptability of the report. The Democrats were a unit against re ceding from the Burrows amendment unless it should be by the adoption of the Foraker amendment to the bill passed at this session, which would submit the question of admission sep arately to the people of Arizona and New Mexico at a special election. Only 41 Republican votes were found for the conference report and unless there are further concessions it appears that it cannot be adopted. SLAY MANY AMERICANS (Continued From Pace 1.) in the camp are in danger. Colonel Greene has telephoned for every avail able armed man that can be secured at Blsbee and Douglas. While the crowd was gathering this afternoon Colonel Greene rode down the crowded streets in his automobile and told the men that he could not accede to their demands. There, is grave fear that an attempt will be made to destroy the great reduc tion plant of the Greene Company at Can anea, which cost millions of dollars. It would require many years to replace it.

MAY HAVE ANOTHER TR'.AL Guiltless in Killing Annt, She May Have to Answer for Slaying Un cle Italians Cheer and the Women Embrace Her. NEW YORK. June 1. Josephine Terra nova this afternoon was acquitted of the murder of her aunt, Concetta Rigglo. She was not released, however, being remand ed to the Tombs to answer to the charge of murdering her uncle, who was killed at the same time as his wife. Assistant District Attorney . Ely, who has conducted the prosecution, was unable to say defin itely tonight whether or not the second charge would be prosecuted. The jury returned the verdict within sixteen min utes after the court's charge, agreeing on the innocence of the defendant without discussion. The prisoner received the announcement with perfect composure. As she was be ing led out of court on her way back to the Tombs, the girl was followed by a crowd of women, many of them thrust the officers aside and embraced and kissed her. Outside the Tombs cheers were raised by a throng of hundreds of Italians, to whom the news of the ac quittal was made known by the prisoner waiving her handkerchief as she crossed the "bridge of sighs" leading to the Tombs. The verdict was received with some surprise by the prosecution from the fact that, the killing being admitted. Judge Scott, in his charge, instructed the jury that. In default of justification, which plea, he said, had not been advanced, and there being little evidence of the abuse alleged as an excuse, except the prisoner's own testimony, the jury should properly find a verdict of murder in the first de gree. The girl had been on trial several weeks. Will Rebuild Sub-Treasury. WASHINGTON, June 1.
