When the House convened today consid-
Grafton of the pensions appropriation bill

Mr.. Gibson CTenn.) being the first speaker.
He said the President had pursued a
wise and prudent course in connection with
the Panama situation. He declared that
the south was prospecting under repuDli-
can tariff laws and would prosper under a
republican isthmian canal. He said the
tariff was like a pair of suspenders-too
tight In some places and too loose in others.
but very needful just the same.
Mr.. Bassett {N.yY.) spoke briefly on the
Panama question, saying that what the
country wants to know is if the course pur-
sued has been properly taken and with o.
view to doing justice
Mr.. Dinsmore (Ark), replying to remarks
made by Mr.. Hit {Ill) last week. said he
had not charged the administrator with
laWlessness, but had conscientiously de-
scribed the act as he understood it to have
been done He renewed his contention that
1t was the duty Of the President to have
turned to Nicaragua and repeated that
the Panama canal law had been violated.
He insisted that the President had done
wrong.
Mr.. Dinsmore quoted from the speech

LOomis said, ut became evident shortly

gress In June that there was not the least

THE MOTION DENIED
JUDGE DECLINES TO REOPEN
CASE OF MILK DEALERS.

Judge Kimbal1 Of the District branch Of
the Police Court today denied a new trial
to John A. Storm and John Sherwood milk
dealers, in business at 1908 32d street
northwest who were convicted in the Po-
lice Court several weeks ago on a charge
of adulterating milk. A fine of $40 each
which was imposed on the defendants was
paid.
The filing Of the charge against Storm
and Sherwood grew out Of an investigation
to ascertain the cause Of the wholesale
sickness at the Industrial Home School
during August last.
The Investigation which was ordered by
the Commissioners failed to disclose the
cause of the illness, but during the course
of the, inquiry sample of the milk served
to the institution was analysed by the Dis
trict chemist, who reported that 1t had been
adulterated. An information was filed
against Storm and Sherwood in the Police
Court at the time and they were permitted
to forfeit S. collateral. The health depart
ment was not satisfied with the action
taken and complained to the Commission
ers, who notified the corporation counsel
in charge Of the, prosecution of cases at
the Police Court to ask for an attachment
and have, t1le forfeiture set aside.
The request Of the Commissioners was
granted and anew warrant was Issued, and
storm ana sherwood appeared III court ana
asked for a trial by jury, leaving $50 col
lateral for their appearance. The trial oc-
Cured several weeks ago. as mentioned in
The Star at the time. and resulted in ver-
dict of guilty. motion for a new trial
was made. but Judge Kimball today denied
the motion $500 ''.-+
On Two Charges.
Louis KRISTEN, in business at 421 L street
southeast was named as q defendant in
court today on two charges Of violating the
milk law.
Upon hearing the evidence. which was to
the effect that KRISTEN failed to exhibit
sign in his store with the name of the dairy
from which he purchased his milk. and
that he declined to sell sample of milk TO
representative of the health department,
Judge KimbaI decided that the charges
had been sustained. Fines amounting to
so which the court imposed were paid.
.Snowden A. Mitchell of 1910 X street
southeast forfeited S. for neglecting to
thoroughly wash the milk receptacles at
his place of business.

thought that Washington ought to be a
model city in every respect. He remarked.
incidentally. that he had found the District
Commissioners to be extremely efficient.
Mr.. Edison was called upon to give his
Views and merely said that he was greatly

would obtain full information as to the law
for governing tenement houses in New York
in order to embody 1t in a bill
Senator Gallinger said he supposed that
the commercial instinct of the people would
provide sanitary houses as the old ones are
torn down.
Sanitary improvements.
Mr.. Edison explained that the Sanitary
Improvement Company had already built
145 houses, with double that number of
fats. but that their plan had been taken
by other people for the building of similar
houses, so that others had built four or
five times as many. as the company had.
He said that this was a semi phflanthropfc
and seni-business project on the part OF
the sanitary company, and explained that
they rent their fats from 50 to $3.50 per
month, refunding one months rent If the
houses are kept in good condition Inc
houses in alleys generally rent at the rate
of from $1.50 to $3.50 a room each month.
The sanitary company had paid per cent;
though 1t earns per cent. the additional 2
per cent being laid aside for repairs ana
catastrophies of any kind.
Mr.. Riis said that in New York they had
spent a million and a half on this work,
but that it was worth ten million dollars
to them He admonished the committee
that the present was the time to do this
work more cheaply than it could be done
in the future, because in short time
brick houses on the same miserable plan
as the old frame ones would go up and
they would be harder to get rid of. BY the
passage of a proper law new building could
be restricted so that only sanitary houses
would be had in the future.
Mr.. Woodward suggested that Mr.. Henry
Willard is now putting up 200 of these
houses on sanitary plan within two
squares of the Capitol.
At the conclusion of the hearing Mr..
Weller offered to take members of the Sem
ate or House to one of the worst of these
alleys and bring them back to the Capitol
at any time in fifteen minutes. He said
that one of the worst was within two and
one-half blocks of the Capitol.
Hopeful of Coco Sesults.
All of the senators and representatives
who We're present at the meeting ex-
pressed great interest in what was said
and Senator Gallinger stated to Star re-
porter that he believed that this matter
would be brought to a successful conclu-
sion. He proposed to back 1t up and to
work for an Improvement in the housing
conditions along the line that had been in
dictated.

Plans are being prepared for an extension
of the wharf at Fort Washington. Md, that
will make 1t more than twice the size of
the present structure. 1t is proposed to ex-
tend the wharf about $50 feet along the
lower side of the present wharf, but not to
bring 1t quite so far out into the river, and
to build slip in which the army tug Glib
bon can lie out of danger from drifting Ice
The proposed berth of the Gibbon Is to be
dredged out to a depth of ten twelve
feet, and deep water will be obtained along
the front of the new wharf. The building
of this addition TO the wharf at the fort has
sells laden with coal and lumber are arriving
there SO frequently as to greatly interfere
with the steamboats, landing at the wharf.
The new portion of the wharf will be used
for the unloading of vessels, while the
steamers will continue to use the old wharf.

He did not, however believe in the policy

tended that direct legislation was easier of
