Washington D. C. Feb. 4.
Statehood seems to have relapsed
into innocuous desuetnde. It has
been consigned to the tender mer-
cies of the Senate which prides it-
self on its dignity and "poke-easy"
way of doing things. It will pro-
bably consider the bill when it gets
good and ready and there is little
doubt that it will amend it. If so
it will probably be returned to the
House and from there to a confer-
ence committee and there smother-
ed. . I hav-s no official information
to that effect only a prophetic feel-
ing in my bones. I dent think
the Republican party cares to be
verystienuous in taking in more
Democratic states.
In seeing Washington." Repre-
sentative . Humphrey of Seattle
Washington the friend of my boy-
hood is invaluable. A note from
him which he is very anxious to
give me is the "Sesame open" to
Governomeiit buildings. He went
with me this morning to the assist-
ant Secty of state and procured a
letter of introduction to the foreign
consuls of the U. S. which may be
mighty convenient if I should wake
up some fine morning and find my
self inspecting the interior of a
foreign jail. I had a passport from
the State Department which any
loyal American may procure but
this letter of introduction to for-
eign counsuls can only be pro-
cured by personal application and
recommendation of friend-! in high
official position - As dishonest
travelers often barrow money from
consuls and otherwise impose on
them much caution aud descretion
is used in granting them.
With Mr. Humphrey I called
on the President this morning at
the White House. As it may be
interesting to some to know some
thing of the impressions of a novice
T will tell y:u about it. At ten
o'clock we went to tht White
House grounds about a mile and a
third west from the Capital and
not far from the Washington
Mornument which by the way is
555 feet high and the highest stone
structure in the world. Here and
there is a guard who won't hurt you
if you dont look hollow eyed and
freaky. Possibly if I had not been
accompanied by a Congressman I
might have had more to tell about
these uniformed fellows. We met
a group of Senators including Mr.
Beveridge of Indiana. Several
mn were in the haliway and on
the veranda and we passed down
the hall and turned to the left and
entered the Cabinet room where
about twenty geatlemen and oni
lady were seated or standing. It
seemed somewhat like an elegant
little depot where people were
waiting for a train. They were
speaking occasionally in low sepul-
chral tones and somewhat lated
breath as if there might be a funer
al in the house. I had to bite" my
tongue to avoid looking too pleas-
ant. Presently the double doors
between the President's office and
the Cabinet room rolled open and
be stepped nimbly forward to the
first man ou the right a Senator
from Pennsylvania whom he took
into his office and they were seated
for a three minutes conversation.
Then the President was back to
the Cabinet room in his brisk
"Strenuous" way. Here he met
four callers In a group and contr
ary to rule of sportsmen took a
"pot shot" at the four greeted
each most cordially conversed with
all most pleasantly but with
Gatlin gun rapidity and in forty
seconds had given the bunch the
high sign to pass on. Mr. H nm-
phrey had told me that I need not
expect tu say m;ch as Ue presi-1
dent would do all the talking. He
was up to us in a jiffy and grasped j
Humphrey's hand suddenly he .
recovered quickly from the shock j
and introdtced me as a friend of j
his from Indian Territory and I (
was confronted by .the greatest ;
man of our time. One never knows
what he will be taken for; next. !
Grim" visaged officials had been
pceringover their glasses at me like '.
they suspected I was an anarchist-
The President seemed to take me j
for the police Judging by the way 1
he told me his troubles. As soon

OUR STATEHOOD (PROSPECTS AS
VIEWED BY THE DALLAS NEWS
WASHINGTON CORRES

Up The Bill.

CITY ENGINEER AT WORK
Contiuued on Third Page.
The following staff special to the
Dallas News perhaps expresses the
siatehood situation pretty accurately:
The senate reached the state
hood bill this morning while con-
sidering the calendar but upon
objection of Mr. Lodge its reading
was not permitted. Mr. Lodge is
a friend to the bill so his objection
signifies nothing more than that
the Senate is not yet ready to fix
a time for its consideration. The
subsidy bill is unfinished business.
1 here is no likelihood of its being
brought to a vote for several
weeks and its advocates will prob-
ably give way to the statehood
bill when Mr. Beveridge can get
the Senate in a humor to accede to
his importunities. When this will
be not even Mr. Beveridge knows
though he has expressed the hope
that within ten days he will be
able to have a time fixed for its
consideration.
The most significant statement
when the bill was reached was
that of Mr. Foraker who took oc-
casion to say that he had no inten-
tion of filibustering on the mea-
sure. He declared he was ready
to vote on it at any time. This
is taken to mean that Mr. Foraker
is sure that a majority of the Sen
ate are opposed to the measure !
as it came from the House. He
had frequently asserted as much
and it is now admitted by a num
ber of the bill's supporters that the
effort to inflict statehood on Ari-
zona will not be sanctioned by the
Senate.
The general opinion is that
rather late in the session the bill
will be sent back to. the House
short of the provision respecting
New Mexico and Arizona and
that the House will concur in
the amendment. The president
it is said on good authority has
foftified himself for defeat on this
part of the white houss program.
Busy Preparing Plans for Water-
works and Sewer Extensions
An Express reporter dropped in-
to City. Engineer Colby's office
over Morgan & Gribi's yesterday
and found him buby over his desk
with blue prints mysterious draw-
ing instruments and other tools
nameless to 1 landsman. Mr. Colby
is preparing plans and specifications
for the waterworks and sewer ex-
tensions. He hopes to have them
completed in a week or ten days
or in time to present to the con-
tractors and call for bids by March
1st.
Mr. Colby will also make a close
estimate on the cost of the propos-
ed exsensions for the information
of the council. He is of the opin-
ion that as a'rule more satisfactory
results can be obtained by having
the plans and specifications made
by the city engineer the city makes
a substantial saving since it would
cost at least three per cent of the
amount of the contract to have it
done by a special engineer. This
would amount to about $1500.
The city will also save the cast
of superintendence on the contract
amounting to about $100 per month
With a premium of $3000 on the
bonds and the sum thus saved the
council ought to have sufficient
funds to amply care for all the ex-
pense of making the proposed extensions.
AT WORK ON THE SEWER
Snpt. Peyton Started his Force to
Work this Morning
' Supt. Ed Peyton began with a
force of men this morning on the
job of cleaning out the sewer main
below the lake southeast of town.
The sewer has been in fairly good
working orker for the past few
months but a large amount of work
will be necessaty before it is in per-
manent good order. The excava-
tions made last fall have been left
open. Sewer rod? will be passed
through tho main and .all obstruc-
tions removed. Where ever a brok-
en joint isfonnd it will be remov-
ed or repaired. It is impossible to
tell how.much repairing will be re-
quired until a thorough examin-
ation is made. Mr. Peyton is a
thoroughly experienced and compe-
tent man and he is going about his
task in a business like way.
