WASHINGTON.. Jan. .-Upon reconven
ing today after the holiday season the
senate plumed directly Into th coneidera
tlon of the bill for the admission of two
states to be composed of Arliona and New
Mexico and Oklahoma and Indian terri
tory. A motion by Mr. Beveridge to take
up the bill prevailed by a two-thirds ma
jority. Mr. Heyburn, who renewed his ef
fort to Ret up the pure food bill, voted with
the democrats on one roll call, but with
thla exception the repuhllrans voted solidly
to proceed with the consideration of the
statehood bill and the democrats solidly
against that course. A motion by Mr. Bate
to recommit waa voted down. Mr. Nelson
spoke at length In advocacy of the bill.
There waa an exceptionally large attend
ance of senators when the senate waa
called to order. President Pro Tern Frye
being absent. Senator Perkins presided.
Mr. Piatt (N. T.) reported a resolution
for the printing of 10,000 copiee of the re
port of the commissioner of corporations
and accepted an amendment suggested by
Mr. Bailey providing for printing with the
report a decision of the supreme court of
the United States which, he said, the re
port criticises. On objection to Immediate
consideration, the resolution went over.
Mr. Warren reported the omnibus claims
bills, and gave notice that he would auk
early consideration of the bill, which rep
resents l,6u0 claimants. Mr. Hepburn In
troduced a bill for the regulation of cor
porations, which was referred to the com
mittee on Judiciary.
Statehood Bill Taken I'p.
When the morning session cloned Mr.
Beveridge moved that the senate proceed
to the consideration of the Joint statehood
bill. The motion created a brief stir and
several senutora addressed the chair. Mr.
Heyburn asked whether the motion made
by him to take up thu pure food bill which
Waa pending when the aenate adjourned for
the holidays, was not pending. The chair
decided that the motion had died with
that day'a session of the senate. On the
motion to proceed to vote the vote wus
31 yeas to 17 nays. '
The reading of the statehood bill being
concluded, Mr. Bate moved to recommit
that meaaure, because the testimony taken
before the committee on territories hud
not been reported, rendering It difficult to
make a minority report. Many of the
sittings of the committee, Mr. Bate said,
had been held when the senate waa In ses
sion and thla with other circumstances
had prevented the attendance of democratic
senators.
He pleaded against undue haste In the
matter and entered upon an argument
against the consolidation of the four ter
ritories Into two states. Referring to the
proposed union of Arliona and New Mexico,
he said they would make a state of greater
area than Is comprised In all the New
Kngianii states, with New York, New Jer
sey and Pennsylvania added. The only
reason for the consolidation waa found, he
said, in the desire to prevent an Increase
of United States senators.
Mr. Beveridge said all the members of
the Committee on territories had been noti
fied of the committee meetings and that
failure to attend was the fault of Indi
vidual members. He also said the fact
that the house had made a full report of
testimony rendered a similar report by the
senate unnecessary.
Mr. Btte admitted that due notice of
meetings had been given. "They wanted
us to help make a quorum," be said, "but
we did not come up with the ante."
The reference of the venerable senator to
a popular game caused a smile around the
chamber. His motion waa voted down, 15
to 31, Mr. Heyburn voting with the demo
crata for recommittal.
Nelson Defends the Bill.
Mr. Nelaon supported the bill aa re
ported by the committee. Referring espe
cially to Oklahoma and Indian Territory,
he said they were so constituted as to be
the complement each of the other. Ex
plaining the grant of land for school pur
poses Mr. Nelson said that the entire
state would get the benefit of the grant
to Oklahoma. He also spoke of the grant
of $5,000,000 for schools, but said this was
not a gratuity, aa waa suggested by Mr.
Bailey.
Mr. Foraker and Mr. Bailey united In
asking questions concerning the provi
sion referring to the Oklahoma school
lands which had already been granted and
Mr. Bailey suggested that It might lead
to future trouble. j
Mr. Nelson said the reiteration was
merely for the purpose of making assur
ance doubly sure.
In considering the provisions of the bill
relative to New Mexico and Arizona he
quottd statistics to show that the growth
. of both territories had been slow and still
was meager. He estimated the present
population of the two territories at
400,000, or less.
He admitted a large percentage of the
people of Arliona were Americans, while
many of those of New Mexico were Mex
icans. He did not admit, however, that a
majority of the New Mexico people were
Mexicans, and he alao contended that there
was no real enmity between the two na
tionalities. Mr. Nelson had not concluded when, on

SENATOR STONE WANTS AN INQUIRY
Lawion Finally Breaks Into Cona-re-lonal
Directory.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. Senator Htone of
Missouri today Introduced a resolution re
citing some of the assertions of Thomaa W.
Lawson and Judge Alton B. Parker con
cerning campaign contribution and ask
ing the Judiciary committee to Inquire Into
the allegations.
The resolution Is as follows:
Whereas, Thomaa Dawson, a prominent
citizen of Boston, Mass., and a capitalist
of reputed large fortune. In a signed article
published in "Everybody's Magazine," a
responsible and widely circulated publica
tion, have specifically charged that he
cunsDlred with certain well known capi
talists to raise a large corruption fund to
be used to promote the election of the
republican candidates for president and
vice president in 1896, Hnd that they did
raise $5,uu0,ouo to be expended to "turn at
least live of the doubtful states," and.
Whereas, During the campaign of 1904
it was directly and emphatically charged
by Judge Alton B. Parker, a prominent
candidate for the office of president, and
by other citizens of great prominence and
high repute, belonging to both the re
publican and democratic parties, aa well
aa by many Important and responsible
Journals, that large sums of money had
been contributed by numerous corporations
to be used to Influence the election then
ensuing for president and vice president;
and.
Whereas, The president In his last mes
sage sent to congress on December t, 1904,
took official cognizance of growing tend
ency to corrupt the electoral and did In
direct terms recommend the enactment of
a law agalnat bribery and corruption In
federal elections; therefore,
Resolved. That the Judiciary committee
of the senato bo and Is hereby authorized,
empowered and directed to make Inquiry
into the matters stated in the foregoing
preamble, and also generally into the sub
ject of the use of money in federal elec
tions, so aa to ascertain as far as possible
the extent of the evlj, and to report to
the senate at the first session of the fifty
ninth congress, by bill or otherwise, the
legislation said committee may deem neces
sary to prevent or suppress bribery and
corruption in such elections. Said com
mittee may sit during the vacation of the
senato and shall have authority to send
for persons and papers and to compel the
attendance of witnesses.
BRIEF IN THE BEEF TRUST CASE
Packers Have Conspired to Monopo
lise Interstate Commerce.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. The brief of the
government In the Case of Swift and Com
pany against the United States, known aa
the Beef trust case, prepared by Attorney
General Moody, waa presented to the su
preme court of the United States today.
The brief Is devoted principally to an argu
ment to show that the packers are engaged
In a conspiracy to monopolize interstate
commerce In fresh meats.
The attorney general aaya:
It may be remarked that Judges have
differed aa to the validity of aggregations
of capital effected by some forms of or
ganic union between several smaller and
competing corporations, and economists
are. far from agreeing that such aggrega
tions, within limitations, are hurtful. So,
too, associations of manufacturers to reg
ulate competition within a restricted area
have not always been condemned by courts
and have sometimes been approved by pub
licists. But has a responsible voice yet
been heard to Justify, legally or economic
ally, a conspiracy or agreement between
nearly all the producers of a commodity
neceHsary to life by which the confederates
acquire absolute control and dominion over
I lie production, sale and distribution of
that commodity throughout the entire ter
ritory of a nation with the power at will
to raise prices to 'the consumer of the
finished product and lower prlcea to the
producer of the raw material? Yet such
Is that now at the bar of this court. That
I there la a conspiracy to control the market
of the nation for fresh meats, that it does
I control It, and that Its control Is merciless
and oppressive, are facta known to all
I men. The broad question here Is, dues
the government's petition with Its state
ments of fact standing unchallenged dis
cover that conspiracy to the court? We
submit that it does and that the decree
I of the civil court should In all things be
amrnira.

FORESTRY CONGRESS AT WORK
Pacific Coast Timber Landi Esquire Differ

PAPERS READ DURING THE DAY
Importance ef Forest Iaads to the
Graslne; Indastry Discussed at
Session Held In After.
oon.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The American
Forest congress resumed Its sessions to
day. The papers read at the morning
session related to the subject of the
"Dumber Industry and the Forests."
Discussing the subject of the Pacific
coast forests as differing from others,
George P. Emerson of Hoauiem, Wash.,
said that the application of any uiethod
of forest perpetuation adapted to eastern
woods was Impossible. Mr. Emerson se
verely criticised some features of the
homestead laws, saying that the general
land office had eased the consciences of
settlers In perfecting their proof by de
claring all land "not stony or gravelly was
agricultural," although, he said, never In
the life time of those settlers did they
expect to see anythlifg grown on the land
but timber. Public opinion, he added, had
approved such an evasion of "a ridiculous
law," and he said that the government,
not the settlers, should be Investigated.
The timber act he characterized as hav
ing been framed in the interests of land
grabbers, while "still more ridiculous and
criminally wrong" was the lieu land law
by which any one claiming within a forest
reserve relinquished to the government and
selectee? equal areas outside the reserve.
Captain George P. Ahem, chief of the
Philippine bureau of forestry, gave an In
teresting review of the work of his office
and the steps taken to economically utilize
the timber resources of the Philippine
archipelago.
Lumbermen and Forestry.
"The Changed Attitude of Lumbermen
Toward Forestry," was the title of a
paper by J. E. Defenbaugh, editor of the
American Lumberman. "The Importance
of Forestry to Woodworking Industries,"
was discussed by M. C. Moore, secretary
of the National Slack CooDeraare Manu
facturers' association and also a representa
tive of th9 Beer Stock Manufacturers'
association. Mr. Moore said there was
one fact which seemed a-onerallv encoura
ging to the principles of forestry as set
rorin in tne present convention and that
waa that many hardwood tracts that hud
been cut over a few years since had again
attained trees or sufficient size so that
the mills were again going In those sec
tions. He submitted for solution by con
gress the proposition, "What can the pro
fessional scientific forestry do for the
interests in a practical, businesslike
which will placo no hardship on the man-
uiaciurers, Dut still preserve the timber
indefinitely for their use?" ,
John N. Kaul of Alabama Mrrmr,AA
the bureau of forestry for having demon-
atwatoA Y. , . ,
...,.cU me eminently practical character
of Its work."
Forestry and Grazing-.
The afternoon session was presided over
by F. J. Hagenbarth. president nf th.
National Livestock association, the subject
of discussion being "The Imnnrtaneo r
Public Forest Lands to Grazing."
W. R. Candland of Utah, a wool grower,
defended the practice Of allowing u hcA,.
and cattle to graze on forest reserva
tions. He declared that sheep were a pro
tection against forest fires. hi,
converting into food millions of tons of
vegetauon. uiscusslng the practical re
sults of the grazing in the forest reserves
A. F. Potter of the United States bureau
of forestry said that care had been taken
to avoid any unnecessary disturbance to
business by sudden changes in the manner
of using grazing lands. He added that
the regulations had done much toward pre
venting range controversies between cattle
men and sheep men.
"The Protection of Home Builders In
the Region of Grazing on the Forest Re
serves," formed the subject of a paper
by E. S. Gosney, president of the Arizona
Wool Growers' association.
The reading of set papers was brought
to a close by Prof. L. II. Pammel of Ames,
la., who had for his subject. "Sheen Ornz-
Ing In the Reserves, from a Layman's
Standpoint."
Forest Reserve In the Kas't.
On behalf of the Appalachian Park asso
ciation W. S. Harvey of Pennsylvania mado
an earnest plea for the Influence of the
forest congress on the congress of the
United States for the establishment of a
forest reserve In the eastern states. The
proposed Appalachian reservation, he said,
comprised 3,340,000 acres, and he maintained
that as the southern states have more than
$200,000,000 Invested in cotton mills depend
ing In large measure on water power, the
taking of the forest cover from the Appa
lachian mountains would destroy the oppor
tunity which nature had given the south
to grow and Increase in wealth and pros
perity. The proposed reservation, he said,
extended through several states. The mat
ter was referred to the committee on reso
lutions. The congress adopted the sugges
tions of the committee appointed by the
American Forestry association, regarding
plana of affiliation between that associa
tion and other organizations.
General Fitzhugh Lee was introduced
amid a storm of applause. He extended a
hearty Invitation to hold the meeting of
1307 in Norfolk or some other city In that
vicinity in order that delegates might par
ticipate in the Jamestown celebration. At
the conclusion of a short open discussion
the congress adjourned until tomorrow.
Resolution Aimed at Secretary Morton
Representative Baker (N. Y.) today in
troduced a number of resolutions contain
ing allegations relating to corporations and
rebates. They also allude to the presi
dent's recent recommendation for suppress
ing the same nuisance In Washington and
to testimony given by Secretary Morton
in a railroad case before he entered the
cabinet. The house Is requested to inquire
of the president and attorney general con
cerning these questions. The resolutions,
after asserting that rebates were granted
by the railroad with which Secretary
Morton was formerly connected and saying
that Mr. Morton is reported as defending
such rebates, call on the attorney general
to report whether the act of Mr. Morton
as an official of that road In allowing the
rebate, is In violation of law and what
steps, if any, have .been taken against
him. One resolution seeks to commit the
house to the opinlun that the secretary of
the navy and the traffic manager of the
road should be arrested.

UP TO BOARD OF INQUIRY
Bishop Tnttle Says He Has No Con
trol of Hearing; Against
Talbot.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 4-"The duties devolv
ing upon me as presiding bishop of the
church are at an end for the present In
the matter of the presentment against
Bishop Talbot," said Blstiop Tuttle today.
"If the board of. Inquiry should And the
charges set forth In the presentment suffi
ciently tenable to make them matters for
a trial, it will then be my duty to act
again.
"The board of Inquiry, which I have al
ready appointed, still stands, and will meet
at the time and place Indicated to con
sider the presentment. I have received no
advices of a new or another presentment
against Bishop Talbot, although I have no
reason to doubt but that one will be made
in the light of recent events. I have re
ceived no notification of the coming of Mr.
J. F. JenklnsonjOr of his mission.
"If there is uny repudiation of the signa
tures to- the presentment It is not for me
to consider, but must go before the board
of Inquiry already appointed by me, as I
have stated, or if the presentment is to be
withdrawn It must be brought before that
board.
"I am not . familiar with the new canon
which went Into effect the first of th
year, but have sent for a copy of it. The
old canon, under which I acted in appoint
ing the board to Inquire Into the present
ment against Bishop Talbot, left the pre
siding bishop no discretion In the matter.
"If Mr. Jenklnson should come to me for
the purpose of having the presentment
wlthdawn, I could only refer him to the
board of Inquiry. .
"The new canon, so far aa I know, has
nothing whatever to do with it, as the old
canon was In force when It was made.
Should a new presentment be made I would
have to make myself familiar with the
new canon before acting upon It.
"I see that It has been stated that I
have sent a man to Huntingdon to Investi
gate the case. I have sent no one to
Huntingdon and havo no acquaintance with
Mr. Hugo Muler, whom I was said to have
sent."

senator says, has nothing to do with the re
cent suggestions of Commissioner Garfield,
which he said simply covered the question
of licenses to manufacturing corporations
engnged In Interstate commerce. Its pur
pose, he said. Is to unify nnd simplify the
railroad systems of the country, to place
such systems under national control, to
nmka the taxes fixed and certain and to
make dividends certain, so that hereafter
anylncrease of business may tend mathe
matically either to a betterment of the
roads or an Increase In wages or a diminu
tion In rates.
The resolution. Senator, Newlnnds says
puts In concrete form certain suggestions
made to him by B. P. Bacon, chairman of
the executive committee of the Interstate
commerce convention law, before the Inter
state commerce committee of the senate,
and was drawn pursuant to the suggestion
of members of that committee that they
should be presented In some form to the
senate for discussion. The commission Is
to consist of fourteen members, one ex
perienced In railroad traffic management, to
be appointed by the president: one an at-torney-at-law,
to be appointed by the at
torney general; two experts In transporta
tion, one to be appointed by the secretary
of commerce and labor and the other by
the Interstate Commerce commission; five
senators and five members of the house.
