VIII Go on Ballot.

Columbus, Nov. 19.-Both the prohi-
bition and socialist parties will be
able to hold conventions next year,
and get their tickets on the ballot
without the use of petitions. In 9TH
er words, they are on an equality
with the republican and democratic
parties. The socialists lead the mi
nority parties, having polled $4,000
votes. The prohibitionists polled
10000 votes. A party must poll per
cent. of the total vote to get on the
ballot without petition. This year, !
per cent. Is little over 5000.

He thought if a Department of Labor
were to be established in the future it
might possibly include the present Census
Bureau. but he declared that he was mott
qualified to state what other bureaus It
should include, if. indeed, it should in
clude the Census Office. He preferred to
leave that matter to Congress when it
should establish a Department of Labor,

Mr.. Fuller argued along the same line.
He said that the present Bureau of La

where 1t is at present than to be incor-
porated in Department of Commerce.

or authorized the use of money in at

The resolution directs the committee
also to enquire as to how such money. if
expended, was raised, and to ascertain, so
far as possible, the effect which the ex-

new MEASURE TO KILL
OFF -SCRAPERS
Bill introduced in Senate by
District Committee.
Aims to Keep Objectionable Structures
Off Residence Streets-In Form of
a Joint Resolution.

The Senate DISTRICT Committee yester-
day introduced its measure to prevent the
erection of sky-scrapers on residence
streets. The committee has had the sub
ject under consideration for some weeks,
as heretofore stated in The Times, and
much expert opinion has been heard re-
garding it. This testimony has not all
been favorable to a further restriction
of the height of new buildings, but 1t is
the opinion of the committee that the
present measure represents the ideas Of
the majority.
The measure takes the form of a joint
resolution. It was introduced by Mr.. Nc
MILAN, the chairman of the District
Committee.
Wording of Resolution.
The wording of the resolution is as fol-
lows:
That hereafter on residence streets no
buildings shall be erected in the District
OF Columbia to height greater than the
width of the adjoining stree, measured
between curb lines"
The significant points of the measure
are that 1t is restricted to buildings on
residence streets. and that the width Of
the streets is to be measured between the
curbs instead of between the building
lines.
The present regulations with regard to
the height of buildings have been inter
preted to refer to the width between
building lines. The wide sidewalks and
parking on both sides of nearly all streets
have thus added materially to the per-
missible height of new buildings.
Many of the apartment buildings re-
Gently erected have taken advantage of
this Interpretation and are much higher
than would be allowed by the proposed
new law.
The restriction OF the proposed law to
residence streets is in accordance with
the plans of the Senate District Commit
tee, which has not contemplated. for the
present at least, any restriction on the
building of business structures.
Streets Not Mentioned.
The resolution does not make any pro-
vision designating what streets shall be
considered to be residence streets. 1t is
understood that the committee consid
cred it proper to leave this question to
the District Commissioners entirely.
The provisions of the measure apply
largely, If not exclusively, to apartment
houses a permit to erect an office build
ing would not be DESTROYS and would not
be granted even if wanted. in residence
neighbOrhood.
Members of the committee state that
in their opinion the new law will permit
the erection of reasonably tall buildings
and will only prevent structures which
may do the city more harm than good.
The streets vary in width from sixty feet,
virtually the minimum, SO that it will
still be possible to erect buildings of from
five to eight or nine stories.

Representative Richardson, the Demo-
cratic leader in the House. has prepared
a resolution which he will probably in
troduce today. asking for an investiga-
ton of the fac.s concerning the statement
made by Capt. Dirdinick Won Christmas,
that he was obliged to expend large sums
of money to substitute the American press
and influence the votes of United States
Senators in the matter OF the purchase of
the Danish West Indies Islands.
Captain Christmas is reported to have
made the statement in Copenhagen that
he spent large sum Of money in this
way in the United States in furtherance
of the project for the sale of the islands
by Denmark to this country.
These statements were published in
newspapers in the Danish capital on Feb
ruary 10. but the treaty providing for the
transfer of the sovereignty of the islands
was not ratified by the Senate until
week or more afterward.
The statements of Captain Christmas
were first made public here by Niels
Gron, who claimed that he, and not Cap
tain Christmas, was the unofficial agent
of the Danish Government in negotiat-

would be seriously distasteful to the

no Objection =. ..~

Mr.. Hoar replied that IL that objection
existed to the pending bill nothing could
induce him to give 1t his support; but On
the other hand Congress had the right TO
use the taxing power TO put out of ex-
istence, and strike down anything which
Congress had a constitutional right to
strike at directly
Mr.. Bailey asked if Mr.. Hoar though.
that the imposition of 10 cents a pound on
oleomargarine was really intended 10
raise revenue.
No." Mr.. Hoar replied, 81 have tried
to make that as clear as / could. This
10 cents a pound is tax not on oleo-
margarine but on fraud, on false color
ing-and IL is not merely because il is
fraud, but because 1t is a fraud which
interferes with our legitimate power of
taxation
Nj. Lodge announced his intention TO
vote for the bill. Mr.. Proctor said that
an amendment for that purpose would be
offered
Mr.. culberson offered q substitute for
the bill, embodying the Democratic ideas
on the subject.

appointed by the House, Messrs. Payne
of New York and Dalzell of Pennsyl-
yania.
An informal agreement on all the other
amendments OF the Senate, which are
largely verbal, has been reached, but the
House conferees insist strenuousIy that
the tax on bucket shops shall also be re-
pealed.
The Senate conferees are equally in
sistent that it shall stay, believing that
bucket-shop transactions should be dis
couraged as much az possible, and there
is yet no prospect that an agreement will
be reached at the adjourned conference
to be held tomorrow.
The Senate usually wins these contests,
but 1t is by no means unlikely that in the
present case it will yield to the House.
