BIDS OPENED AT DISTRICT BUILD
ING TODAY.

Heights to Cost $21 ,OOO-
The Site Donated.

Bids We're opened today at the District
building by the chief clerk of the engineer
department and Mr. A. NJ. Poynton, the
principal superintendent of construction of
the building department. for the chemical
engine house which is to be erected on
Congress Heights and for which $4,000 was
appropriated by the last Congress. This
amount is the largest ever given for an
engine house alone, and the building, plans
for which were prepared in the building
department, is expected TO be a model in
every department. OF the original appro-
priation LOCO was set aside for the build
ing itself. Heretofore the Commissioners
have received appropriations for similar
amounts out of which it has been neces-
sary to purchase site. The site in the
present instance was donated to the Dis
trict by Mr.. A. E. Randle.
The plans for the new engine house are
the first to be prepared under Mr. Snowden
Ashford inspector of buildings and
likewise the first in which the principal as
s1staace has been rendered by Mr. Poyn-
ton. They are also the first plans pre-
pared during the regime of Chief Engineer
Robert W. Button of the fire department
The new house viii include many features
entirely new to District fire engine estab-
lishments. One of the most important Of
these is the plan by which the second faor

President Roosevelt's Recommend
lions.

President Roosevelt's recommendations
on the subject read:
The first essential In determining how
to deal with the great Industrial combina-
lions Is knowledge Of the facts-publicity.
In the interest of the public the government
should have the right to inspect and exam
Inc the workings of the great corporations
engaged In interstate business Publicity
Is the only sure remedy which we can now
invoke. What further remedies are needed
In the way of governmental regulation or
taxation can only be determined after puh
hcity has been attained by process of law
and in the course Of administration. The
first requisite Is knowledge. full and com
plete-knowledge which may be made public
to the world.
Artificial bodies. such as corporate
and joint stock or other associations, de-
pending upon any statutory law for their
existence or privileges, should be subject
to proper governmental supervision and
full and accurate information as to their
operations should be made public regu-
larly at reasonable intervals.
The large corporations, commonly called
trusts, though organized in one state, al
ways do business in many states, often do
ing very little business in the state where

Mr.. Dubois Conclusions.

Commenting on this record today, Mr..
Dubois said:
IF the republican party wanted to do
what the President asked them in his mes
sage they had a most excellent opportunity
to show their willingness by voting for my
amendment. sines, however, they voted 1t
try that the Presidents party is not with
him in this matter Of, Publicity or control
of the trusts, and Though he says since
Congress adjourned he intends to fight the
trusts and promises the people REMEDIAL
legislation that Would give both publicity
and control 1t would seem that he reckons
I'VE can only judge the fueure by the
past, and unlessnhe has stronger control
over the republicans Of the Senate than he
had last February we will get no such thing
from a republican Congress. 1t would
seem to the cashal observer that his re-
cent signal defeat on the Cuban reciprocity
proposition was an indication that he had
no better control of his party in The SEN
ate now than he had last February

Truck, Engine and Steamer.

The new house is designed to accommo-
date ultimately a truck, chemical engine
and a steamer, being the first built with
a three track system. As the trucks and
steamers are drawn by three horses, as
a rule, an entirely new system of liberat-
ing the horses from their stalls upon an
alarm has been devised. 1t will do away
entirely with the danger of confusion. This
IS accomplished by what is known as de-
tached stall for the three-horse apparatus.
One stall is brought forward of the other
TWO and only the leading horse is liberated
when the alarm comes in. AS this leading
horse leaves his stall he steps upon bal
ance trap which springs the bolt on the
two rear stalls and his horse companions
are thus liberated to follow him to the ap-
paratus. The leading horse takes the CEN
ter position at the truck and the two fol-
lowing horses are hitched On either side.
Prior to the planning Of this engine house
the truck house on Whitney avenue, Column
bia Heights, was considered the finest I'm
District. The average size of houses is
50 by so feet The Congress Heights house

TRUSTS ANDPUBL|C|TY
The Democrats Latest Cam
paign Arguments.
LINED UPIN THE SENATE
PARTIES POSITION ON PROPOSE
TON BY MIR. DUBOIS.
He Claims the Result Shows That
President Roosevelt Cannot Com
mand Support of Republicans.

The Congressional Record of February Is
last is regarded at democratic congressional
headquarters in this city as a most valua BILE
document in the furtherance of their anti
trust campaign. This copy of the Record
is declared to prove positively that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will be able to do absolutely
nothing in the way of passing remedial
trust legsla ton through the Senate.
Senator Dubois of Idaho is responsible for
the pages of the Record which are regard
ed as of such value. At that time the SEN
ate had under consideration the bill to
make the census bureau a permanent insti
tuition of the government and amend
ment to this bill he proposed a new section,
which was drawn, he said, entirely along
the line of the recommendations of the
up this assertion the Idaho senator had
that section of the message referring to
trusts read to the Senate Immediately after
his amendment had been reported. On the
statement of Senator Quarles, who had
charge Of the bill, to the effect that such
an amendment would kill the measure abb
solutely a roll call was demanded on the
amendment and it was voted down by the
republicans present at the time.
In discussing this amendment with Star
man today Senator Dubois said that 1t was
simply the best disqualification of the Pres
tdent's expressed ideas on the subject that
he was able to draw. and that If enacted
into law he believed it would accomplish
the desired end-reveal the inside workings
of trusts to the public.

The Dubois Amendment.
The amendment reads:


ITO enable the director Of the census to
perform the duties prescribed by this Sec
ton, true and accurate reports shall be
made to him annually by all corporations
engaged in manufacturing, which reports
shall state in detail the nature Of the bust
ness or different lines of business, If
there be more than one conducted by such
corporation; the number of factories or
establishments owned or controlled by 1t,
the precise character of the business con-
Quoted at each factory or establishment,
and the gross receipts of such business the
amount Of the capital stock and the pro-
portion which has been fully paid up; the
surplus, the operating expense, wages, taxes,
both national and state, together with de-
tailed statements as to the quantity of its
product or products sold for export, the
prices per unit obtained therefor, the
bates, If any, allowed upon products sold
for export, and the prices charged to deal
ers in the United States; any and all agree
ments with other corporations, compa MES
or individuals engaged in manufacturing
the same or similar products for the main
tenance of uniform prices. the limiting Of
production or with reference to the wages
of labor, and all arrangements with trans
portation companies for specially advan-
tageous freight rates
Such reports shall be verified by the
President, manager or chief officer of the
corporation, who, upon the demand of the
director. shall furnish such additional de-
tails said director may deem necessary
to apprise him fully of the nature and ex-
tent of the business and the methods ap-
piled In Its management. A failure by the
President, manager, or chief officer Of any
manufacturing corporation to make the re-
ports herein provided for, or any Intention
ally false statements concerning any mat
tiers set forth in a report which he does
make, shall for every such ofrense be pun
ished by fine of not less than 81 900, or
more than 5000. or Imprisonment for not
less than one month nor more than one
year, or by both such fine and imprison-
ment.
All information thus obtained by the d.
rector of the census shall be uermanent1v
nled In his office In convenient and accessi-
Die form be classified, and published an
nually."

Object of the Amendment.

In the discussion which followed the read
ing of this section of the message Senator
Dubois disclaimed making any indscrimi-
nate attack on trusts But" he declared
'it is a subject that is attracting the at
tention of the country, and some time in
the future, and think, not In the very dis
tant future, We shall be compelled to leeis-
late in regard to them. My amendment
simply carries out fully the suggestion of
President Roosevelt, which is that the ut
most publicity shall be given to the trans
actions of the great trusts.
I'VE are establishing a census bureau
which is to be permanent, and it occurs to
me that there is no better time or place in
which to start this machinery which Will
make public the transactions of the great
trusts than In this bill"
In reply to this Senator Quarles appealed
to the friends of the bill not to load 1t
down with the subject matter Of the pro-
posed amendment, for the reason that 1t
would imperil the bill. "A subsequent bill -
he declared, IAN independent bill, can be
framed at any time by the senator, which
will stand upon its own merits and will
lead, Of course. to great discussion If 1t
is desired that that result shall be accom-
plished, 1 submit Mr.. President, it can be
done far better in an Independent measure
than 1t can be by putting it into this BILL
l hope, therefore, that the amendment will
not prevail, no matter how much we may
synpa thize with the purposes which the
it will imperil this bill and delay 1t lndef-
nitely If the amendment is passed, and there
are peculiar reasons why the bill should re-
ceive prompt consideration. I therefore APP
peal to the senator to withdraw the amend
ment at this time and to present his meas
ure In the form of an Independent bill"
