THIS DISTRICT DAY
MAY Be PASSED OVER
Babeock Thinks Tomorrow May Be
Given Over TO Debate on
the Tariff.

II the rules Of the House are followed,
tomorrow will be given over in the
House to the transaction Of business
Affecting the District of Columbia. as
the second Monday in each month is
reserved for this purpose.
Last night. however. Chairman Bah
cock. OF the District Committee, said he
did not know whether the Speaker
would allow the time 10 be given to
District business. Mr.. Babeock thought
the whole day might be taken up with
the tariff debate. which had not ended
yesterday.
Another reason for thinking that no
District business will be transacted to-
morrow is the fact that but few Dis
trict bills have been put on the caicn-
dar and Mr.. BabcOck may postpone
District day until his committee has
reported more bills for favorable action
by the House.
The ways and means subcommittee
OF the District Committee held a meet
ing yesterday afternoon and prepared
reports to submit TO the full committee
next Thursday on several measures.
Representative Campbell of Kansas is
chairman Of this subcommittee.

SENATOR DOLLINER
IS QUIZ { AGGRESSIVE

Senator Doliiver Of Iowa will resist
TO the utmost any attempt Of the Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce, Of
which he is a member, TO defer action
upon the railroad regulation question
until the House shall have passed bill.
The political majority or the commit
tee is opposed TO giving the Interstate
Commerce Commission the power TO hx

Three Of the Republicans, however,
stand with the Democratic members for
regulation, as generally defined by the
President. They are Dolliver, Cullom,
and ClapD thus placing those who favor
regulation in the majority. If Mr.
D0lllver can get the support of ths
Democratic members he can force the

cation. He declined to discuss the
status Of his case, but from his
friends the impression was gathered
that he is extremely anxious that the
case be pushed to a conclusion as soon
as possible.
Senator Smoot Wants Hearing.
The impression has gained strong
footing that If the case ever comes
out Of the committee and before the
Senate. Mr.. Smoot viii make a great
speech in that body. Strongly beIiev-
ing in the right and justice Of his
cause, il is believed the Senator. VINO
for three years has been kept on the
defensive, with his title 10 his seat
constantly in question, would make
an eloquent and pathetic appeal for
determination of the question on It's
merits and without reference 10 the
biased opinion which his followers be-
lieve is organized against him.
There is a difference Gf opinion IN
the Senate committee as TO whether
Smoot shall be expelled" or merely
excluded" Roberts was excluded
from the House, but 1t is explained
that his case was different from
Smoots. because he was never per
mitted to take the oath OF Office. lie
was stopped at the threshold, and 1t
was then urged by the attorney for the
objectors. Mr.. Tayler. that, once per-
mftted TO take the oath, two-thirds
vote would be required to "exDei
him, whereas a majority vote would
be sufficient to exclude" him.
But Smoot has been allowed 10 take
the oath Of Office. and nobody ques-
tions that he is now a Senator The
Senate has the unquestioned cOnstiJu-
tional right TO expel him by two
thirds vote. but whether a member
can be excluded" who has once been
admitted, is a legal question on which
there is division. Chairman Burrows
believes il is possible. IN this he Is
at variance with most of the Senatorial
lawyers who have been seen. The gen
eraI belief is that a tWO-thIrds vote
viii be necessary TO prevent MI Smool

That this sentiment is now percepu-

that within the next month or six
