CONGRESS HAS THE POWER
The Commissioners Can't Take Ac-
ton Regarding Bowen School.
President Ross Explained the Sltua.
tion TO Delegates of South
Washington Citizens.

large delegation from the South Wash
ington Citizens Association called upon the
Commissioners today. TO advocate the
Change in the Bowen School. recently rec
commended by School Trustee Hazen. It
was Mr. Hazen'S suggestion that the school
building be Transferred to another school
division, and ohlieTated from the list OF
colored schools.
Mr.. James r. Shea presented the me-
mortal and DR.. G, C. Meador followed.
President Ross said it was beyond the
power OF the Commissioners to take
action at this junctme, the purpose for
which the original building was erected
having been prescribed by Congress, and the
appropriation for the new building on the
same site originating with the same
body. The matter, he said, had been
referred TO the board OF trustees by the
Commissioners several months ago, and
an adverse report was received, the fact
being that Congress is the only body
having jurisdiction.
1t was asked by Mr. Shea whether or
not the building may not be repaired, and
permit the matter to be brought to the at
tention of Congress, but the Commissioners
again said they could exercise no discre-
ton, and that Congress would have to de-
eide.
The delegates withdrew, with the cx-
pressed purpose Of presenting the proposal
to Congress at the extra session
These were members of the committee:

The DISTRICT BILL MAYPAIL
Considerable Apprehension Felt by
the Commissioners.
If Such a Thing Should Happen IL
Might Hamper the Operations
OF the Local Government.

The suggestion that the District ammo.
priation bin is likely to fail OF passage at
this session has created good deal Of
comment, and the principal disquietude is
over the certainty that if the measure is
left for tie consideration OF the next Con
gress the electric lighting controversy will
have TO be again gone over in all is details
IL Is feared by those who are deeply in
terested in the many subjects TO be pro-
Yided for in the bill that the interests
of the District Will suffer forlack Of means
to carry on the public business. as in the
event that the issue mentioned, if the de-
bate shall be resumed, viii cause delay
of months.
The District officials have made no com.
ment upon this feature of the situation.

they expressed solicitude concerning the
many items in the lin which they have
asked TO be made Immediately available

are awaiting action on the appropriation
bill for the Carrying out of measure de

the current appropriations would not be

III the Hou sc.

A snirited debate began today's House
proceedings IL was based on a conference
report which showed that the House con-
fereeS surrendered To the conferees of the
Senate on a bill granting SIS a month
TO the widow of Bigadicr General and
Brevet Ma jor General Carr instead OF $50.
as provided by the House bill.
Mr. Layton explained that Mrs. Carr had
served through the war as an army nurse.
and that she had an invalid daughter to
support. He believed that she deserved
the foil amount as much on account of her
own services as her husbands.
Mr. Hull told the House that the private
soldiera resented the making of such great
distinctions between pensions for widows
OF general officers and those Of privates-
On division the House by vote of A
TO 100 refused TO agree to the conference
report. which was sent back to a further
conference. with instructions to insist ON
pension OF $50.
On motion OF Mr.. Cannon, chairman of
the Committee on Appropriations, the House
went into committee of the whole on the
general deficiency appropriation bill
MIR. Sayres wanted to omake an agreement
to have three hours general debate on
the Southern Pacific Railway appropria-
ton in the bill, but Mr.. Grow gave notice
that unless he were given forty minutes to
speak on that subject, he would object.
Mr. Cannon begged the gentleman from
Pennsylvania not to insist, as there was
danger that appropriation bills might fail
In these closing days of the session, but Mr..
Grow said he had never seen any appropria-
ton bills faH, and maintained his objec-
tion.
Then Mr.. Cannon moved that the bill
be reported to the House by the committee
OF the whole. Mr. Grow protested. but
Mr.. Payne, who was in the chair, put the
question and declared it carried. When
he had reported to Speaker Reed that the
House had come to no resolution on the
bill, Mr.. Cannon Immediately moved that
the House again resolve itself into COM
mittee ofthe whole, for theconsideration of
appropriation bills, and that general debate
on the deficiency bill be limited.
Mr.. CIowtheT contended that there was
neither justice Eor equity in granting to
the widow OF a brgadier general SIS
month when the House had gone on record
time and again in refusing 10 grant that
sum. He averred, however, that he had
never opposed any honest and legitimate
pension bill.
Mr. Lacey contended that under the
general law Mrs. Carr was entitled to 80

District Committee has majority against
Mr.. Sands, the majority embracing some
OF the leading members. He has some
ardent friends on the committee, however,
and gives evidence of being strong in the
Senate outside OF the committee. The
opposition to MFR. Sands by members OF
the committee is said by them 70 be wholly
because of his temperament and not for
any objections to his character.
All attempts TO connect the Davis and
Sands cases will fail. There is no re-
semblance between them. Some warm

called outside the Senate, some trading, In

Dr. Hobbs representative did not ex-
