Asks Senate to Provide for Mammoth
Government Structure on

Senator Fairbanks of Inciana today
introduced in the Senate a bill 10 pro

west side OF Lafayette Square. 10 ac-
commodate the three departments OF
State. Justice. and Commerce and La
Dor. The measure is similar TO the ons
introduced by Mr.. Fairbanks last win

sideration.
The bin authorizes the Secretary of
State. the Attorney General. and the
Secretary of the Department OF Com
raerce and Labor to acquire by purchase
or condemnation the land known As

son Place. on the west by Seventeenth

Avenue. and on the north by Il Street.
The bill authorizes these three heads OF
departments 10 erect a suitable building,
with firepro0f walls ana all accessories.
The provision in the former bill 10
provide accommodation for the Presi-
dent and executive clerks has been
stricken out II IS planned TO take up
the question OF providing a proper Of

CUBA TO BE PART
OF UNITED STATES
IF SHE CHOOSES
Resolution Inviting the Young Republic to State
hood in the Union introduced in the Senate

a joint resolution inviting Cuba to join
the Union was introduced in the Senate
today by Senator Newiands of Nevada.
The joint resolution provides:
That the island OF Porto Rico become
a county or province of Cuba and a part
of the State OF Cuba: that the presi-
dent and vice president of the republic
of Cuba be the governor and lieutenant
governor, respectively of the State OF
Cuba until their terms of office expire:
that the bonds about TO be issued by the
republic OF Cuba for the payment of Its
army during the war with Spain, aggre-
eating SIS, coo 600. with interest at 5 per
cent, be issued as the bonds of the
State of Cuba; that the balance in the
treasury of the republic of Cuba be
turned ever to the State Of Cuba, and
the balance in the treasury OF Porto
Rico be turned over to the county or
provincial authorities of that island.
In support of the joint resolution and
explaining it. Senator Newlands said
the objection TO reciprocity treaties was
that they involved discrimination in
favor of or against certain domestic
products, and in favor of or against
certain foreign countries. and they
would breed dissension at hon and re-
taliatory actiOE= ssbroad Cuba wanted
free trade with rs and the best way 10
secure it was by political union which
involved absolute freedom OF trade and
equality of right Under the proposed
arrangement, Cuba would become a
sovereign State OF the Union with Sena-
tors and Congressman. Her annual crop

customs duties. would realize $35 900 000

The District commissioners have

Parker will not furnish the maps. for

Johnston.
1t is also reasonable to believe that
Miss Johnston Will not return the money
because she received it for work per-
formed for the Board OF Education.
Auditor Timme must have either the

matter to the District Auditor, John r

way out of the difficulty The Com

A Suit Useless.
It is said by District officials that
suit at law would avail nothing. The
Federal grand jury has DECLARED that
although there was a techsucaI viola
ton Of the law. there was no ground
for an Indictment. One Of the Commits
missioners has expressed himself rs
being highly dissatisfied with the out
come of the investigation, and thinks
ii absurd that a violation of law should
be established. and the blame fixed on
no one. The situation is embarrassing

The Imagination could hardly picture

economic conditions. If Cuba comes in

Mr.. Newlands contended it would not

So we would seek TO reduce her to
a dependency. Our action regarding
Porto Rico and the Philippines would
constitute an unanswerable argument
against her public men who might agi-

stand in clear and unequivocal terms
that We would welcome her as an equal
that we do not contemplate annexa-
ton. but sisterhOOd; that she would be

Mr.. Newlands added that the argu-
ment for union was so strong. that he
felt it would prevail if kept before
the people Of both countries. The oc-
casion was appropriate. The relations
of Cuba with our country are now be-

COMMISSIONERS MUST REPLY
Fear Expressed That Stone for Sta

Promptly.

Some doubt exists as to the ability OF
the granite quarry at Bethel. Vt. to
produce sufficient stone for the new
Union Station within a reasonable time.
Those who desire to have the station
erected as soon as possible are anxious
to know whether enough building ma
terial can be taken out of the Bethel
quarry to finish the structure within
five years
