April 19 —After a debate extending through the entire session, the House to-day passed the bill providing for the joint statehood of Oklahoma and Indian Territory un- der the name of Oklahoma and of Ari- zona and New Mexico under the name of Arizona. In discussing the rule which had been reported by the Com- mittee on Rules providing for imme- diate consideration of the bill, Wil- liams,” the minority leader, declared that no Republican had any idea that the bill would become a law at this | session.

The third reading of the bill had been directed by the Speaker, whereupon Mr. Moon, in- | quired if the third reading was to be by title only. In the midst of an elab- orate discussion the Speaker turned to the parliamentarian, Mr. Hinds, for further advice, and then announced that he would resolve the whole qu tion in favor of the individual privi lege of each member, any one of whom could demand the reading of the bill. Mr. Williams, the minority leader, jocularly inquired if the Speaker's de- | eision had been arrived at “after con- sultation.” The Speaker promptly re- plied that it bad been, and set the | House in an uproar when he added: “The skilled parliamentarian who has been at this desk for many years can give the chair,” and after a pause, “and the gentleman from Mississippi, cards and spades and then have a founfain of parliamentary knowledge left.” It was some moments before the applause which greeted this sally sub- | sided. Mr. Maddox of Georgia demnnd-| ed the reading of the bill, which was | did om building for the use of Senators | was opposed by Berry, who said that before it could be completed the build- ing would cost not less than $45,000 or . $50,000 each for the members of the Senate. This he pronounced “a piece of extravagance which surpassed any- thing he had ever seen offered in the Senate.” Bailey supported the amendment. He said that Berry’'s comment as to the cost of the proposed building might be applied to the Capitol. That building had been erected for the Congress as a whole, and he considered the best nope to good in the way of accommodations. He did not want Oriental magnifi- cence, but he did want splendid build- ings. Senators in Washington should not live in huts nor stop at wagon vards: nor should they have their offices in inaccessible portions of the Capitol. | Teller opposed the east front exten- sion, but advocated the new building, saying that as the country grows, de- mands on the Capitol will grow. He expressed the opinion that the time would come when it would b2 necessary to provide accommodations for Sena- tors for Alaska and Porto Rico, and gave voice to the hope that it might be necessary to make room for Senators from what is now the Dominion of Canada.
