HAMILTON STATEHOOD BILL TO
BE REPORTED TO HOUSE
WILL PASS SAYS GROSVcNOR
Mr Babcock Leader of the “Iniur
gents' Is As Confident As Ever
That Bill Cannot Pass House With-
out Amendment
Washington Jan 20 — Represents-
tlve Grosvenor of Ohio said that the
Hamilton statehood bill would prob-
ably be reported next Tuesday under
the rule shutting out amendments
There has not yet been a meeting of
the committee on rules and the state-
hood matter has not been considered
Gen Grosvenor’s opinion however is
sbared by others close to the throne
Mr Watson the '‘whip of the house
named the same date in discussing
the situation
Generat Grosvenor confidently pre-
dicts that the Hamilton bill be con-
sidered under the rule and will then
pass the house according to the
"stalwart" program Mr Watson
said that the bill would be reported
and If the Insurgents wanted to take
the responsibility of defeating the
house program and the statehood bill
it was their affair — indicating less
confidence than his colleague
Mr Babcock was indisposed and
was not active at the session but said
tonight at his house that nothing had
transpired during the day to give his
side the least uneasiness On the con-
trary he had received reports which
indicated a Bteady development of the
strength of the opposition and said
the opponents of the Hamilton bill
would certainly defeat it
A strong instance of White House
coercion was brought to his attention
during the day which had strength-
ened the splrii of resentment
He said that some capital had been
made out of the showing of the in-
surgents on the Philippine bill but
unjustly They had shown their
strength on the William Aldcn Smith
amendment polling over seventy
votes on a proposition that differed
materially from a proposition to vote
down an oLnoxious rule as they in-
tended to do in connection with the
statehood program The two were
not on the same level The course
of the insurgents toward the Philip
pine bill had been clearly decided ai
a meeting last Sunday and another on
Monday The result he said could
not possibly afford the stalwarts of
the house any ckie as to their strength
on the proposed gag rule

1KD ERflRE FAMILY
Denver Jan 20 — A News special
'rotn Canon City Colo says that
Former Governor James H Peabody
his wife and their daughter were
poisoned by food eaten at breakfast
and that the daughter Miss Cora Pea-
body is in a dangerous condition as
a result The governor and Mrs Pea-
body although quite ill for several
hours recovered sufficiently to de-
vote their nttention to the daughter
Physicians are in attendance upon
the young Indy and unless a change
for the worse comes they believe she
will escape serious consequences
An air of mystery surrounds the af-
fair Enough Aas gleaned from friends
of the family to show that Ihere is
a belief that an attempt was made
to destroy the family by poison An
intimate friend of the Pcahodys said
that several letters had been receiv-
ed by the former governor within the
past week or two calling his atten-
tion to the manner of the death of
Former Governor Steuenberg of
Idaho and threatening him with a
similar fate Referring to the expe-
rience his family went through Gov-
ernor Peabody said:
"1 do not want to say where I tiink
the responsibility lies until the re-
sults of the investigation now being
made are known"
Mr Peabody was governor of Colo-
rado during the labor troubles at
Cripple Creek and Tellurlde when
troops took possession of the two
districts and during which time the
Independence depot dynamite disas-
ter occurred
