A FORECAST
OF the Business TO be Transacted in the
House and Senate The Present Week.

or the Business TO be Transacted IN the
House and Senate The Present Week.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-There is so
general demand for action on the SEN
ate Cuban resolutions that the mana
gers of the house of representatives
have consented that as soon as the leg
islative, executive and judicial .appro-
priation bill, the pending unfinished
business has been disposed of, Cuban
resolutions shall be the next order.
How much time will be devoted
to- their consideration is as
vet undecided. At least a
dozen members have expressed to Mr..
Hit, chairman of the committee on for
reign affairs a desire to speak, and it is
proba bic that at least n full days ses-
sion will be occupied by the debate.
Following the Cuban resolutions. the
post Office appropriation bill will be
taken up in the house, and this it is
expected will probably exhaust the re-
mainder of the week.
The coming week will inaugurate
the discussion on, a question of the
highest privilege in the senate-a title
to seat in the body. Mr. Mitchell,
chairman of the committee on privileges
and elections. gave notice Friday that
he would call the Dupont case Monday at
. o'clock Mr.. Mitchell will make the
! opening speech, and will be followed
! during the week by Mr.. Turpie, of In
| diana, for the democrats, and by Mr..
| Pritchard, of North Carolina, for the
republicans. The chairman is of the
opinion that the debate on this subject
will not last longer that ten days, or at
the outset not to exceed two weeks
Monday there is every probability OF
the senate locking horns over a matter
against which there appears to be a
very determined opposition in the sen.
ate 1t is the bill reported by the sen
ate committee on public lands to ap-
prove a compromise and settlement be
tween the United States and Arkansas
Mr. Berry sought to call it up late
Friday afternoon and make it the
unfinished business, but several senators
objected, and upon his motion being
pressed to take it up, the absence of {
quorum forced by the opponents of th'
measure, was developed. Mr.. Berry
then gave notice that he would move t,
take the bill up Immediately after th
, morning business Monday. In antag
onizing the bill Friday it was character
lied by Mr.. Gear as "a bill of yer.
( questionable character, involving mil
lions of dollars" ~
The agricultural bill will be brough
up Monday by Mr., Cullom, who has
in charge. Inasmuch as there has bee
no amendments to the legislative feat
ures of this bill as it came from tn
/ house it will probably be passed in ON
n afternoonh--r ,N

seventy feet. THIS. he went on, was caused
by the fact that the present line of the
Metropolitan branch is considerably higher
by necessity than the Present line of the
Washington branch, and no amount of
cutting or grading could overcome this
obstacle. In order to reduce the grade on
this track, he said. 1t would be necessary

HUNTING FOR FORD.
Montgomery County Being ScOured
for the Murderer

Tor the Murderer.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
SILVER SPRING, Md, May 6.-When it
became known here last night that Irving
Ford was wanted for the murder of Miss
kreglo the county officers volunteered to
assist the Washington officers in the search
tor the fugitive. Constable Sam Jones, who
vas with Detectives Horne and Weldon
last night, continued the search after the
Washington officers returned home and II
was reported here this afternoon that he
succeeded in capturing his man. This re-
port. however. could not be verified. A col
ored woman down near Forest Glen states
that Fords wife told her of her husbands
arrest but it is generally thought that the
runor resulted from the appearance of the
detectives in this vicinity today. Half
dozen detectives from Washington are in
the county, and the mans capture this
afternoon Is thought certain. Arrange
ments have been made to trap him at 2
o'clock where he has been promised work
and hiding place. SO 1t is stated, and the
officers have gone to the farm where he is
to appear.
Should he be arrested he may be taken
10 Rockville to be turned over by the court
to the Washington authorities.
Later.-SILVER SPRING, Md. May c.
Irwin Ford. the supposed murderer, had
not been appreherded up to 3 o'clock to-
day, but Detectives Horne and Weldon
and Constable Sam Jones Of Montgomery
county are secreted in the dense woods
near Ford's house on the Rupert farm,
v atching for his return to his home
If Ford is not caught before tomorrow
morning, a posse Will be organized to scour
the woods. where he Is believed to be
secreted, and in case he is caught by such
a body of men there are chances that sum-
mary measures will be taken with him as
the people throughout this section are very
much excited and wrought up over the
dastardly deed committed Monday, and
would not wait in all probability for abso-
lutte proof against Ford. when his unusual
and suspicious conduct is taken into con-
sideration.

The Commissioners Report on the Eek
ington Extension Bill.
Without Change of Cnrs-ObjectfOas
to Portions Of the Route
Other Local Notes.

The Commissioners today made a report
upon the bill to extend the route of the
lexington and Soldiers Home Railway
Company and of the Belt Railway Com
pany in the District of Columbia The re-
port says:
I'm the present operation of the Eckng-
ton railway a change Of cars is made on it's
chartered main line at Florida avenue;
second change Of cars, although not q
necessary one, is made on the main line at
9Th and G streets.
ut is believed when the motive power
of the lexington road is changed, as con-
templated by section 1 of the bill. that its
cars should be run through from the ter
minus at 18th and G streets to Brookland,
or at least to the power house on T street,
and 1t is therefore recommended that the
words and the lexington ana Soldiers
Homo Railway Company shall run cars
through from the terminus at 18th and G
streets to T and 4th Streets be added
after the word line in line 6, page 2, of
the bill"
Referring to applications made by the
company for extensions. the report says:
I'm view of the failure of the company to
operate existing branches the Commission
ers hesitate to recommend any additional
extension, Notwithstanding the apparent
necessity of granting this company further
privileges in order to secure d satisfactory
service On lines which 1t does operate in
Washington.
An extension of the Belt railway into lie
Droit subdivision. as contemplated in sec
ton T. s advantageous for the Pablo. but
the route for double tracks. as stated IN
the bill. the Commissioners consider OBJ
jectionable.
! The Commissioners are not able to rec
ommend the proposed lexington extension
on Sth and 18th streets east, but suggest
two alternative routes for reaching the
Navy Yard"

Physicians and philanthropists are sup
posed to exhaust every effort to reduce the
mortality of disease and wipe out the So
called incurable maladies, and with advanc-
ing ages 1t has always been hoped that
tuberculosis would be less frequently met
with and improved sanitary methods would
restrict that disease. but Mr.. Lawrence r.
we'll, from sociological point of view, asks
In the Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette, If it Is
desirable TO exterminate the bacillus tuber-
culosis. He holds that the fittest should sur
viye and the weakest should go to the wall,
and rather than raise up and keep alive by.
constant struggle and watchfulness those
who have been attacked by tuberculosis, or
who are prone to 1t, to let them die out. and
thus prevent a tainted offspring. His argu-
ment is that the bacillus tuberculosis is a
selective agent, and is a friend Of the race.
for 1t carries Off the unfit. Until the COM
munity chooses to do its own selecting by
exercising some control over the marriages
of the unfit. the world cannot dispense with
the benefcent services of this micro-organ-
ism.

there could be almost perfect access from
one side of the street to the other at all

According to the model, North Capitol

means of tunnel cut from the present in

and consequently according TO the model
shown yesterday, closed to traffic, as is
also f street from near North Capitol
street to Delaware avenue. The engineers
of the road were particularly questioned
In regard to the necessity of doing this.
and Mr. Manning explained that 1t was
deemed exceedingly dangerous to cause in
tersecting tunnels to be built under the
yard structure. Accidents he said. would
frequently result from such a device and
ample access seemed to be afforded by
these three tunnels provided between the
east and west sides of the yard. In re-
gard to d street. he further explained that

thought at the time the model was pre-
pared. might be constructed on the square
bounded by North Capitol, c and d streets

struction of the model, however, this plan
has been abandoned. so that 1t will per-
hapS be possible to open d street between

ciareo to be the lowest grade possible I'M

In View of the fact that the company is

Of the present "Y."
Loop System Impra cticable.
Attention was called to- one Of the other
models in the room. which showed a yard
constructed on the loop system, which
was proposed early in the preparation of
designs for this improvement Mr. Man.
ming explained that this plan had been
abandoned shortly after 1t was formulated
into model for 1t was found that. with
out the confiscation of a much larger area
than the road could afford, the loop would
have to be drawn on so short a radius that
1t would be impossible to couple the cars.
The model shown gave loop on 37O-foot
radius, which was SO sharp that the jan
rey couplers on use on most of the passen-
ger coaches could not BE- operated. The re-
suit would be that trains would have to be
made up by means of ropes and cars hauled
back and forth by switch engines making
a maximum of noise and confusion with a
minimum Of comfort and convenience. In
