Washington, lay i5. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
The house adjourned at 6 o'clock yes
terday In a tangle over the division of
proceeds made by the Oregon & Califor
nia land grant bill.
. t . ... . . .
rosier' 01 Illinois naa secured ine
adoption or an amendment in commit
tee of the whole reducing the share
Oregon counties could receive from
to 50 per cent this would make the
division 20 per cent to the state for
Schools, 20 to counties for roads, 40
for reclamation and 20 for the federal
treasury.
When the bill had been finished by
feectlohs and reported to the house by
Chairman Ferris, Sinnott demanded a
separate vote on the Foster amend
ment. I'ostBr Amendment feeafen.
The amendment was beaten. 53 to
80. Foster theh resorted to filibuster
ing tactics making the point of no
quorum. Speaker Clark found no
quorum present and because of the
late hOur the demand for a call of the
house was withdraws, and on motion
of Majority Leader Kitchln, the house
adjourned.
Foster in urging his amendment
said he was only trying to save a little
more for the federal government, and
the people of Oregon should agree tb
a fair proposition like that. Fester
won in committee of the whole, 29 to
24) on a count by tellers and he re
peated hi victory, 83 to 13.
Bitterness Shown in Debate.
Mohdell of Wyoming accused mem
bers of the committee of not standing
by the bill as they should and the
charge was hotly resented by Raker.
Bltterhess Was shown as the debate
lengthened, Sinnott and Hawley offer
ing repeated amendments for mors lib
eral treatment for Oregon.
Hawley's effort to secure 10 per
cent of the proceeds for port districts
prbvofted LeWls, Who said he coiild not
conceive of a constituency so ravenous
as to ask for It.
Sinnott, offering an amendment to
keep the land on the tax rolls, declared
he doubted power to revest title, ab
solutely, in the government. Lehroot
retorted that if Oregon Is entitled to
the taxes, it has no right to any shars
of the proceeds, and Ferris character
ized it "only another attempt to reach
the hand into the crib."
Oregon Members Given tittle ttelp.
Oregon members received little as
sistance in the fight except from Mon
dell and Taylor of Colorado.
Cannon of Illinois proposed a.h
amendment to take the 40 per cent
from the reclamation fund and give It
to the federal treasury, Which, he Said,
"needs the money." He was glad he
voted against the reclamation act wheh
he was speaker, he said, and was op
posed to using money from grant lands
for that purpose.
Taylor warmly defended reclama
tion. "It was a serious mistake to
adopt the Foster amendment," he
shouted, "and if you adopt the Can
hbh amehdment you may as well throw
the bill Into the Waste basket."
Cannon Anifendnient Bejected.
The Cannon amendment was rejected
by substantial vote. Mondell came
forward with a proposition to elim
inate any share of the proceeds for the
federal treasury ancl use them for rec
lamation. This was defeated with a
shOut.
Ferris, Raker, Lenrflot and others
seemed to resent the ainndtt speech
because of criticism of the committee
and seeking to ShoW that the biil is
not extremely liberal tiregoh, as the
committee report stated.
Lenroot went so far as ttr vote for
the Foster amendment, although a
member of the committee reporting
the bill.

Washington, May IS. (U. P.) Re
versing his decision of yesterday,
Secretary of War Baker announced to
day he Wotald call a courtihartlai to
try the cases of lit Texas militiamen
charged With falling to present them
selves for border duty.
Baker's reversal waa due to the dis
covery of legal points in the new army
bill which would not obviate the oath
required 6f the Texas militiamen that
they defend the constitution and obey
the orders of the Texas governor. No
mention was made of fealty to the
president's order.
Under these circumstances, Judge
Advocate General Crdwder believes
the new army bill does not render the
militia lvr void. The offense of fail
uri to present themselves at muster
is hot Wiped out. The Validity of their
reasons for so doing will be decided
at the courtmartial.
