COMMITTEE MA Y REVIEW
CONDITIONS IN SOUTH
Modified Proposition TO Be Presented TO Republican Caucus
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. TO Force Bill.

In order to obviate the objections of Re-
publican members OF the House TO the
resolution that has been considered by the
caucus the past two weeks, modified
proposition regarding representation from
the Southern States will be submitted to
the caucus next Monday night.
1t has been objected that the caucus has
been discussing a resolution that would
permit the special committee to be ap-
pointed pursuant to its provisions to re-
port a force bill to deal with the situa-
ton If the committee should decide that
to be the proper or best mode of pro-
cedure.
The idea of a force bill is obnoxious to
many who desire that the alleged condi-
ton in the South shall be investigated and
the facts brought to the attention OF the
House and of the country. To meet the
views of these members it has beer
agreed by those most Interested in the
matter that at the meeting of the caucus
Monday night a resolution shall be sub
mitted for consideration to the following
effect:

formation and belief that the right OF

system now in such successful operation
at the Bethlehem works.
The speaker argued that there could
be no better incentive TO industry thar
the bonus system which enabled indus
trious men to save money and provide
themselves with their own homes, which
otherwise they would have been unable
to do. While the men, as is customary
with the labor element in protesting
against any innovations, objected to the
system at first, they were now heartily
in accord with it, and would resist siren
uously in being deprived of its benefits,
which deprivation would certainly ensuc

sentative Cummings.
"Oh, ! am declared out of that now"
responded the former.
Quite an interesting colloquy ensued
when Mr.. Johnston made the statement
that under the eight-hOur law 1t would
be almost impossible for his concern to

Mr.. Johnston. They assemble the diff
ferent parts of the gems at the navy
yard. but l was not aware that they
manufactured them
Thereupon Mr.. Cummings appealed to
ex-Secretary Herbert, who bore out Mr
Johnston's testimony, saying that the
forgings and castings came from the Car
negie and Bethlehem works.
Il thought such was the fact, as stated
by Mr. Cummings" interrupted Chairman
Gardner, until yesterday, when | Wis

to my great surprise. that the Govern
ment no more makes cannon than a horse
breaker raises horses"
There was a general laugh after these
remarks at the expense of Mr.. Cum
mings, who is supposed to be an expert
on such subjects, as a member of the
Naval Committee.
Mr.. Johnston was examined at
some length by Mr. Gompers, but re-
manned mistaken in his statements.

Two measures affecting the District Of

granted, was laid upon the table.
The most important measure considered

agreed to favorably report the measure.
with several amendments.
Two Years Possession.
The main feature of the measure is,
however. retained. II provides that the
purchaser of a tax certificate shall &C
quire the property after the lapse of two
years, provided it is not redeemed by the
owner, his heirs, or legal representatives.
One of the amendments provides that

ing the erection of temporary public COM

empowers the Commissioners to issue per-

cial assessments, and William p. Rich

terday appeared before the committee
upon behalf of the commissioners in re-
gard TO Mr. Babcocks bill to authorize
the appointment OF assessors for special
improvements.
The two men advance conflicting views.
Mr. Daniels opposed the measure, and Mr.
Richardson advocated II. The committee
laid the bill on the table by a unanimous
vote.
The matter of civil service in the Dis
trict government was not brought up in
the committee yesterday.

HOUSE APPROVES POPULAR
VOTE FOR SENATOR'S
Joint Resolution Passed by Unanimous Vofe-Ne. Corss De-
clareS Measure Demanded by American People.

BY a unanimous vote yesterday the
House passed joint resolution providing
for an amendment to the Constitution of
the United States to elect Senators by
direct vote of the people.
At the time the resolution was acted
upon. however, there was probably less
than a quorum of the House present, but
no one called attention to this fact, and
the matter went through without a single
objection or protest from any member to
the proposed amendment.
When the Committee on Election of the
President, Vice President, and Members
of the House of Represen iatives was
reached during the call of committees in
the House, Mr.. Corliss called up this
resolution. He stated briefly that sim

the Treasury to the District will be nee
essary. The amount Of this advance to
the District Is one of the matters to be
taken up at the conference; also the terms

No Bond Issue Likely.
1t is fairly certain that there will be
no bond issue. 1t cannot be learned that
any Senator or Representative interested
in the matter is in favor CT this method
of raising money. The plan of a simple
advance of the necessary funds for the
different improvements as they are used
with provision for the repayment of the
loan in yearly inkallments seems most
likely to be adopted This is the plan Of
the bill introduced By Senator Mcmillan

Whether the full amount of the loan
provided for in this bill will be sanctioned
by the Appropriations Committees is still
an open question.
