FAvoRs OLD DOMINION BILL.
Central Labor Union Adopts Report of
Committee.

The report of the Commissioners recently
sent to Senator Gallinger, chairman of the
Serate District committee, disappearing the
bill ito authorize the extension, construc-
tion, operation of the Great Falls and Old
Dominion railroad into the District of Co
lumbia." Was the subject of report sub
mitted by the Legislative committee of the
Central Labor Union at meeting OF that
body held last evening.
The report which was adopted, Is as fol-
lows:
Senate bill 2SG3 To authorize the ex-
tension. construction and operation of the
Great Falls and Old Dominion railroad into
the District of Columbia has been disap-
proved by the District Commissioners. The
measure was unanimously indorsed by the
Central Labor Union in January last for
the reason that the construction OF this
road would conduce to the comfort and
convenience of thousands of our residents
and largely promote the material improve
ment OF a large area OF our city which Is
deprived of street railway conveniences
After consideration by the Commissioners
for a period of two months. during which
there was one limited public hearing, the
board in a recent report to the Senate Dis
trict committee, as stated, disapproves the
measure
The report goes on to say it is presumed
the bill was referred to the Commissioners
70 ascertain the desire OF the general pub
lie. and that as representatives OF all the
people of this District they would heed the
expressed sentiment of a reputable and in
tellgent majority OF residents, each of
whom was given few minutes at the hear
ing. But it is evident that the Commission
ers in the consideration OF this very i'm
portant matter have regarded solely the
selfish and exclusive interests of a few
property owners along a limited portion
OF the proposed route. who were reinforced
by the Capital Traction Company and the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany.

competitive street railway lines, and ad-
yised that all rights and privileges pertain

ration of a street railway line in this Dis

railway companies. This is suggested not
withstanding the generally known fact that
neither of these companies is inclined to

NEW YORK HILL DEMOCRATS
JUST BEAT OUT HEARST.
Labor Delegates Barred From Working
for Candidates-Hawaii Reported
to Be for Roosevelt.

A dispatch from Albany says: Consterna-
ton reigned in democratic circles in Scho-
harie county yesterday, and only the hard
est kind of work saved the minority leader
of the assembly, George NJ. Palmer from
having his county delegation instructed for
Hearst. AS it was, the Hearst men carried
number of towns in the county, including
Schoharie. Cobeskill, Mr.. Palmer's home,
was lost to Hearst by a majority of two in
PSI Summit was carried by the Hill fac
ton by a majority of nine. Broome was
carried for Hearst, and probably Carlisle.
The Hearst people claim twelve of the six
teen towns.
The Hearst stampede was complete sur
prise to the Hill contingent. How narrow
the escape was is illustrated by the happen
ings in Cobleskill The primary was called
for 1 o'clock When Assemblyman Palmer
started out he suddenly discovered that
the Hearst boomers were carrying printed
ballots and simply swarming up to the poll
ing places. Mr.. Palmer promptly post
poned the primary until 1:3o and sum-
moned his friends by telephone. When the
vote was counted the Hill-Palmer contin-
gent won by 12S to 126.
Labor Men Can't Work for Hearst.
A dispatch from Chicago says: Walking

POLITICAL SIREN
LURES HENDERSON
Longing for Further Preferment Re-
sponsibIe for His Latest
Ammo incement.

Col. David B. tHenderson's disgust
with life in New York is diagnosed BY
Iowa politicians as the forerunner OF
his re-entry into the politics of the
EaW keye State.
The question which politicians "a
n,iliar with the politics of the Middle
West are asking is: VIII Colonel Hen
cerson be a candidate to succeed Ser
atOr Allison. or does he want to be
governor of Iowa?
The sudden withdrawal of Colonel
Henderson from politics two years ago
shocked the old-line Republicans in the
State so badly they have scarcely yer
recovered. He declared his political ac-
tivity vas over.
His Latest Announcement.
II was announced he would devote
the rest of his life to the practice Of
law. Now comes the announcement that
he will leave New York and maintain
permanent residence at Dubuque. Iowa
He has also signified his intention OF
attending the Republican State CONVEX
tor at Des Moines on May IS.

politicians 10 be symptoms of longing
:or further political preferment.
Senator Alllson's age Is telling on him.

weakened him. Iowans begin 10 talk

Colonel Henderson is said to have re-
covered from the fit of anger in when
ne withdrew from Hawkeye politics. He
was offended because many of his con-
stituents didn't agree with him on the
tariff question, so he said. There was
another story that enemies forced him
ont of the race by threatening to make
disclosures of a personal nature.
But now there are evidences Of rec
onciliation between Colonel Henderson
and his enemies. He is billed as one
