If Senator Oimv should attempt to bring up the statehood question again in the Senate, as is probable, he is likely to find an obstacle in the com mittee on territories that will be hard to remove. A majority of that com mittee is opposed to statehood legis lation, and a plan has been adopted to block it by injecting the Alaskan question into the committee's deliber ations if necessary, the object being to consume so much time in consider ing Alaska's needs that the statehood bills will not emerge during the pres I ent session of Congress. A subcommittee of the committee on territories, consisting of Senators Dillinjrham of Vermont, Rurnham of New Hampshire, Nelson of Minnesota, and Patterson of Colorado, visited Alaska last summer. The subcommit tee is supposed to be busily at work on its report, to be submitted in due time to the full committee. That "due time" will probably be whenever Senator Quay shows signs of impa tience over the committee's dilatory treatment of the statehood bills. Then a majority report will be sub mitted, suggesting certain legislation for Alaska, and one committee, if it likes, may consume the rest of the session considering these important reforms. The subcommittee will rec ommend, among other thing, that Alaska be allowed a delegate in Con gress, to be appointed by the Presi dent, but that no territorial form of government be created on account -of the vast distances in that region and the sparseness of the population. Senator Patterson of Colorado will make a minority report, dissenting from the recommendations of the ma jority. Government Buys Poor Quality tiny. San Francisco, Jan. 6 California begins the new year with a sale to the government of the largest quan '.ity of hay ever sold on the Pacific coast in one lot. Telegraphic advices received by the Manufacturers ami Producers association and bv the chamber ofj commerce advise them that the con tract for supplying 5400 tons of wheat, oats and mixed wheat and oat hay, amounting at contract prices to $100,000, has been awarded San Francisco merchants and the entire lot consisting of 110,000 bales, goes to the Philippines for army use. To meet the requirements of the govern ment for export shipment, this hay must be especially compressed by the contractors in bales of four and one half cubic feet to a bale or S2 cubic feet to the ton. Formerly hay for the Philippines was purchased in Oregon, because eastern officers had faith only in the timothy variety and it was largely through the efforts of agents of the merchants here that orders were changed. Army officers will not talk, but in one case an officer admitted that Oregon hay is equal to any in the country. He thought there must have been a good deal of wire-pulling to have orders changed from Oregon to California. There is a chance to make a fight on the next contract to be let. i Failed to Join In Lord's Prayer. Washington, Jan. 6 At the con clusion of Rev. Hale's prayer at the opening of the senate at noon today, he requested the senators to join him in repeating the Lord's Prayer, but no voice responded from the floor. A resolution was adopted directing the commissioners of the District of Columbia to inspect all places of pub lic amusement in the city to avoid repetition of the Chicago disaster. Resolutions were unanimously adopted in sympathy for relation and friends of the victims of the Chicago disaster. Girl Beats Highwayman. Seattle, Wash., Jan. 5. Miss Laura L. Moore, a pretty telephone operator, fought a battle with a high wayman yesterday morning and worst ed her antagonist. The footpad ac costed Miss Moore as she was going to work at an early hour. The thug shoved a revolver in the young woman's face and demanded her to hold up her hands. She refused, and at the same time gave the thug a stinging blow over the head with her umbrella. His hat fell to the ground and he stooped to pick ic up. Then the plucky young woman smashed him again. This time the revolver dropped. The robber made a grab at the girl's purse, but he failed to pull it away. Perceiving that ho was bcsled, the highwayman took to his heels and ran away. The girl hurried to her office and almost fainted aftar she realized what she , had passed throagh. THE LEADER AND HIGH PRIESTTARRED ND FEATHERED.

City School Principal Churchill has, after a strict investigation, been unable to ascertain who assaulted Nicholas Eichner, the 7-year-old boy who died last Saturday evening from the ef fects of a kick. The boy's mother says that he returned home alter school Friday and complained of a pain in his side and said that a large boy had kicked him, and she believes that he died from the effects of a brutal assault. Theater Site for Memorial. Chicago, Jan. 5. Use of the Iro quois Theater site as a memorial through the erection of a suitable church or memorial building to re place the present seared, scarred structure, was suggested today. The idea is to emulate the people of Vi enna, who in memory of the hundred lives lost in the Ringstrasse Theater in 1881, have erected a magnificent church on its site. The executive committee of the Oregon State Equal Suffrage associa tion held a mooting at the home of the treasurer, Mrs. Henry W Coe, in Portland yesterday afternoon. The object of tho meeting was to circu late a petition to secure a vote on an amendment to the constitution at tho noxt Juno election forbiding the dis franchisement of any citizen on ac count of sex.

The Holy Hollurs organized over a year ago, but not until about four months ago did their tenets become ob jectionable to the community. At that time the cottage of O V Hurt was turned in to a prayer-home upon the sugges tion of AKstie frelficld, and nightly seances that proved revolting to the public were indulged in. Household ef fects wore sacrificed upon alters of Are, and the members o! the sect turned all their attention from worldlv affairs, de voting their entire time to rolling and prayins. Mr. Hurt, who up to that time hail been a highly respected citizen ami business man, was s ized wi-U the craze and quit a good position to 1 vote his time to the sect- Several . men prominent in social circlos joined the Cre:Sld gang, and more than one me was threatened with destruction.
