.ANT|CANTEEN BILL
Reported Favorably by House
Military Committee.
Prohibits Sale of Liquor on
Government Premises.
Would Exclude Intoxicating
Beverages From Capitol and
All Public Buildings.

WASHINGTON, May 23.--The anti
canteen bill, which has attracted wide
spread attention and against which the
military authorities recently reported.
was ordered favorably reported by the
house committee on military affairs today
with an amendment which will exclude
liquor from the capitol and other public
buildings. The bill reported is known as
the Bowersock bill and is applied to
premises used "for military purposes"
These words were struck out, making the
bill apply to ''any premises used or own
ed by the United States" The bill as re-
ported is as follows:
"A bill to prevent the selling of or
dealing in beer, wine or any intoxicating
drinks in any post exchange or canteen
or transport or upon any premises used
or owned by the United States.
BE it enacted, etc, that the sale of or
dealing in beer, wine or any Intoxicating
drinks as beverage by any person in
any post exchange or canteen or trans
port or upon any premises used or owned
by the United States is hereby prohib-
tied.
Section .. That the penalty for any
violation of this act shall not be less
than 500 and not more than $500 for
each of1cnse."

though in executive session, is under

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The SEN
ate committee on printing has made re-
port of its investigation of the compila-
| tion and publication of the messages and
papers of the presidents. The commit
tee finds that Representative Richardson
| devoted four years to compiling and in
deXing the papers. ut is not to be
doubted" it says, that his labors were
most assiduous and that they consumed
during this period great amount of his
! time" 1t also is stated that he expend-
! ed $4,000 of his own funds in securing
assistance in the preparation of the in
dex. With reference to the claim of
copyright the committee says that Mr..
Richardson does not claim that ii OPP
crates against the government. but only
as against all other publishers-that it
protects the form of the publication, the
illustrations and the original matter,
though none of the documents them
selves.
On this point the committee expresses
the opinion that ''the prohibition in the
printing act was intended to cover every
publication authorized by congress in all
possible FORMS" and it adds that lin
view of the debate it is clear that con-
gress intended to prevent precisely what
has happened-the copyrghting Of this
particular book. Your committee thinks
that copyright should not have issued in
behalf of the messages and that the law
as it stands is sufficient to deny copy
right to any and every work once issued
as government publication. If the
services of any author or compiler en-
ployed by the government require to be
compensated payment should be made
in money, frankly and properly appro-
, priated for that purpose and the result
ing book or the publication in whole
and as to any part should be always at
the free use of the people, and this with
! out doubt was what congress intended"
! The committee says the donation of
the plates of the work to Mr.. Richard
son was mistake and placed congress
in false position. The committee pro-
nounces Richardson's contract with Pub
Usher Barcus unobjectionable, but criti-
cises Barcus' methods as questionable

nte yesterday Mr.. Spooner of Wisconsin
spoke on his bill providing that upon the
suppression of the insurrcction in the
Philippines the government of the is
lands shall devolve upon the president
until such time as congress might direct
otherwise. Notwithstanding the fact
that he was almost too i'll to stand, Mr..
Spooner's effort was one OF the notable
speeches of the present session. He de-
Tended with characteristic vigor and elo-
quence the policy of the administration
in the Philippines, maintaining that no
other policy in the circumstances was
possible and that none other could have
been adopted without dishonor to the
country. Without concluding his re
marks Mr.. Spooncr elected the floor until
today. Late in the afternoon Senator
Carter of Montana presented the creden
tials of Senator Clark Of Montana. They
will lie on the table for the present.
An agreement was reached yesterday
between the friends of Senator Clark of
Montana and the senate committee on
privileges and elections to postpone any
action upon the senator's credentials until
Wednesday, the 30th inst Meanwhile
the credentials of Mr.. Maginnis will be
presented, and the papers in both cases
