PRACTICALLY DISAPPRoVED.
Views Of Commissioners on So-Called
Sunday Closing Bill.

The so-called Sunday closing bill, the
measure introduced into Congress by Rep
resentat1ve Allen of Maine, Ito further pro-
tect the first day of the week as day OF
rest in the District of Columbia has prac-
tically been disapproved by the District
Commissioners. In connection with two
other Sunday bills, 1t was returned to the
House district committee yesterday without
comment On only one OF the three bills
was a report made. namely, on the bill IN
troduced by Representative Wadsworth of
New York, and as this measure was identi-
cal with the bill introduced In the last ses-
sion Of the Fifty-eighth Congress by the
same member. the Commissioners duplt-
Gated their action of a year ago when they
recommended favorable action on the bill.
The Wadsworth bill passed the House of
Representatives last year.
At the recent hearing on the Sunday
closing bill' many arguments were adj
vanced that the provisions of the Allen blu
were too broad-that is, that 1t compelled
wished 1t or not. 1t was also contended
that the bill proposed religious legislation. -
which was unconstitutional
That the Allen bill was too all-emb:acing
seems to have been the idea OF the Com
missionsrs. an indicated In the language Of
their report on the companion measure
fathered by Mr. Wadsworth. Besides
mended on the latter bill. and that 1t is
substa nttally similar to H. r. bill 1879 OF
the F1fty-eighth Congress. second session.
the report specifies that:
s"The bill IL enacted will give protection
on their rest-day to the classes which seem
to be especially in need of It. 1t does not
seem to be necessary to argue the we'll
settled question that legislation for the pro-
lection of the common day of rest Is con-
stitutional and expedient.
"The Commissioners recommend that no
action be taken upon H. R. bill 1855. Pro
hibiting labor on buildings, and SO forth. In
the District of Columbia on the Sabbath
day.' and H R. bill 10510, TO further pro-
tect the first day of the week as day OF
rest in the District of Columbia which
were also referred to them from your COM

MENDOZA TO RETURN.
May Have Proposition to Submit to
Secretary Root.

The announcement at the Colombian 1ega-
ton that Mr.. Mendoza. the Colombian min
lister. will return to Washington from New
matte circles as an indication that he in
tends to conduct further negotiations with
Washington regarding the strained rela-
tons between Colombia and the United
States.
By. leaving Washington Immediately after
he received a note from the State Depart
ment the minister lent color to the runors
that the failure of this government to ad-
nit its responsibility for the secession of
Panama would result in the breaking off of
diplomatic relations between the two coun-
tries. 1t freely predicted that Mr..
Mendoza was about to leave the United
States, but it is now believed he has some
new proposition to lay before Secretary
Root.
Mail and papers received at the Colombian
legation indicate that on March 1 the re-
public was quiet and that President Reyes
and his advisers were in absolute control
of the situation.
