ARCHITECT CRITICISES
PARKING PLANS
Mr.. Miller Says They Should
Be Open to Discussion.
Many Objectionable Features-Grave
Mistakes May be Made by Ap-
proval Without Comment.

| Mr. Eugue Keller. an architect of Hart
ford. Conn, has written to Chairman Bab-
cock of the House District Committee.
making plea for a liberal discussion and
full consideration of the plans of the
Parking Commission.
In his letter Mr.. Keller says:
1T would be well beforehand to estab-
lish that the plan is a reasonable one, as
a grave mistake may be made at the out
set in the location of buildings and their
character
No Opportunity for Discussion.
No opportunity. he says. has been given
by the Senate committee for free dis
cussion of the plans before its members.
but if the plans cannot stand criticism
they ought not to receive the sanction of
Congress,
yet" says Mr.. Keller. eff the several
bills now before Congress for the con-
struction of public buildings in conformity
with the Parking Commissions plans be-
come laws their plan will then be adopt
ed by piecemeal. and so escape the criti-
cism of Congress"
Mr.. Keller says the Parking Commits
sion ought to welcome discussion, If they
feel confident of the superiority of their
plan. He says he is aware that Senators
have little time to devote to the subject.
but that they ought not to shut the doors
to those who desire to express their views
different from those of the Parking Com
mission.
In conclusion he says:
There are serious objections to several
of the Parking Commissions plan, so far
as it deals with the grouping of public
buildings, the improving of the Mall. the
Monument Grounds, and the Memorial
Bridge"

been flooded with letters and communica :
tions from those who desire to obtain an
accurate impression as to his position.
From an authoritative source 1t is
learned that the Speakers position may
be briefly stated as follows:
When the subject of Cuban reciprocity
was first brought forward the Speaker was
OF the opinion that any considerable re-
duction in the tariff on sugar wouli work
injury to the beet sugar interests o. the
United States. to which the Republican
party had pledged itself Before taking
any stand on the subject he preferred to
await the decision of the Committee en-
Ways and Means. which. after hearing all
the evidence presented, decided that re-
duction of 90 per cent could be given the
Cubans without injuring the home in
dustry.
Accepting the conclusions of the com
mittee as being the best informa ton OBJ
tainable under the circumstances and de-
string to cooperate with the President
and to fulfill all the pledges which the
United States had made to Cuba to the
greatest possible extent. the Speaker
threw the weight of his influence in favor
of the bill and the result of his action is
well known.

Conference Report Lifting
Burden From Bucket
Shops Goes Through.
LONG DISCUSSION IN THE SENATE
Points Conceded the House in Conference
Committee-Senators in Doubt as to
Difference Between Legitimate and
Bucket Shop Trading.

The Senate yesterday agreed TO the con-
ference report on the bill repeating the
war tax and also repeating the tax on
| bucket shops.
A vote was necessary, as opposition to
an agreement was made by the Demo-
Gratis generally. The vote was 36 to 20.
a long and prosy debate was precipi-
tated by the conference committee re-
port. Most OF the Senators are unfamiliar
with the machinery OF Wall Street, and
had very hazy ideas of the difference be-
tween what arc denominated legitimate
brokers, members OF the exchanges. and
the bucket shops. Two hours or more
were required to enlighten them on this
point.
Wanted All Brokers Taxed.
In addition to this number of the
Senators, Messrs. Bacon. Tillman. and
Berry among them. were in favor of put
ting back the tax on all brokerage firms
instead Of taking it OF of the bucket
shops.
Senator Spooner made the speech that
cleared the atmosphere. He explained
with much accuracy for a layman the DIFF
ference between the two classes of brok-
ers, and then said that the conference
committee had no power to put back the
tax on legitimate brokers, rs both houses
OF Congress had already voted 20 repeal it.
The Only Possible Action.
The only thing remaining for the Senate
TO do was to agree TO abolish the bucket
shop tax or to disagree with the report
of the conference committee. He said
that he was in favor OF the tax but that
as the Senate conferees believed diaa-
greement would endanger the war tax
repeal bill he believed the confer~rce re
port should be agreed to.
The House also adopted the conference
report.

Democratic Votes Needed.

Chairman Payne admits that owing to
the opposition of the beet sugar ''iasur-
gents" a considerable number Of Demo-
Gratis will be required to pass his bill.
These will. however. be forthcoming.
The leaders would very much prefer to
BASS the measure without the aid of the
minority. but this they realize is impos-
sible
The fate Of the measure depends to
large extent upon what amendments are
pronoscd. 1t is practically certain that
the Democrats viii propose a number. If
they are supported by the insurgents with
the view of loading down the measure so
as 10 make it Objectionable to the Repub-
Iic,r leaders the result is uncertain.
The Washington times., 1902-04-08
A Consistent Friend of Cuba

Speaker Henderson has always been a
consistent friend of Cuba, but at the
same time he desires to secure the utmost
amount of protection compatible with the
public interests for the beet sugar in
dustry.
In common with many other prominent
members of the House. as well as of the
Senate. the Speaker believes that by Tea-
sonable tariff concessions the annexation
OF Cuba can'be postponed, at least. where
as without some trade favors being ex
tended to her the sentiment for annexa-
tiOn would grow in the island to an over
whelming extent and the United States
could scarcely refuse to accede to her
request for admission to the Union.
The Speaker holds that n reciprocity
treaty does not in any sense open up
the general subject of tariff revision and
any rulings which he may be required
to make during the progress of the de-
bate on the bill will be in line with his
opinion.
He believes the bill will be passed with
out amendment and with very few Re
publican votes against it or in favor OF
amending the measure.

Business men of the city held a
meeting at the city hall last night to
consider the matter of residences
needed in the city. H. L. Reade was
chosen as chairman Of the meeting,
which was addressed by Supt. Derrick
and a number of business men Of the
city. Supt. Derrick stated that when
It was decided to build the road into
the cityJa number of married employees
had applied for runs into Bismarck. de-
shining to remove their families here.
When their arrangements had been
made to move they found there were
no residences to be obtained in Bis
n1al'ck. At present there were four
employees running to Bismarck, whose
families were in Cakes. They were
anxious to move their families here,
and he thought it was to the interest
o the business men to see that resi-
dences We're provided. Several more
employees would be- moved here if
houses could be obtained. The agent
OF the. road here could get no house,
and had placed his resignation in. the
hands Of the superintendent, as he
could not afford to live here unless he
could obtain a residence. He Thought
cottages could be built here for a a
scnable price. He had made some in
quiries at Cakes, and found that neat,
eight room houses with basement had
been built there this summer for
81. 500.
Messrs. Little, Ward, Baker and
others addressed the meeting. Cap
tain Baker said he would build some
kind of a cottage this fall, and Mr..
Ward said if help could be obtained he
Wonld also build one. Col. Little said
be was willing to build if he could get
a suitable lot, and if labor could be
obtained. Contractor Lovin said he
employed fifteen carpenters at present
and could employ fifteen, more if he
could get them. He thought a four
room cottage could be built for about
$1,000. Hon. Joseph Hare said he had
been figuring on the cost OF some cat
tages, and said the matter was purely
a business proposition, and that if a
fair return on the investment was as
sured, houses would be built. After a
general discussion. a committee con
sisting Of Messrs. McGahan, Best, O
