sims CHANGES TIE CAR BILL
Would Have Tracks to Union Sta
tion at Once.
Wants Washington Terminal Com
pany to Do WOrk-Herdics to
Go Next.

Representative Sims yesterday decided
not 70 ask for unanimous consent for the
passage Of his bill for the construction
OF temporary tracks TO the New Union
Station, and. instead. reintroduced the
first measure with a second one.
The original bill was TO authorize the
Washington Terminal Company 10 con
struct temporary tracks from the station
10 the intersection OF North Capitol and
c streets, with a second section proyid-
ing for the erection of waiting sheds al
the junction by the Washington Street
Railway Company and the Capital Trac-
ton Company. His bills yesterday made
each separate 10 preclude the Offering Of
additions.
This makes total Of four bills so far
introduced in this Congress governing the
construction Of such tracks All but the
one presented in the Senate by Senator
Gallinger provide only for the construe-
ton OF temporary overhead lines. 10 be
removed as soon as permanent work IS
completed,
The Gallinger measure Is a long bill
governing the methods Of approach 20 the
station from all sides, and one feature
is Of particular interest TO residents OF
the northeast and southeast. This IS sec
ton 4. which reads, in part, as follows:
That the Capital Traction Company
be. and Is hereby, required and author
ized 10 construct a line thence
by such a route (fron the stationl
as may be determined with by the Com
missioners TO the corner Of Second and
F streets northeast. thence east on F
street to Eighth street thence south on
Eighth street 10 the intersection Of Penn
sylvania avenue"
This would connect the line with the
Pennsylvania avenue tracks, where the
branch now turns of to 90 TO the Navy
Yard. and would be a short cross town
line that would benefit not only the
traffic 10 and from the Union Station.
but part Of town as well that has not
hal proper car line facilities
The Gallingcr provision for temporary
/ tracks provides that the two traction
companies build them. while the Sims
bill requires the Washington Terminal
Company to do the temporary work.
Another street car bill is that of Mr.
Madden's. requiring universal transfers
Another interesting feature of the Cal
linger bill is provision that If the Met
I ropJltan Coach Company does not, with
in one year substitute motor vehicles for

SENATOR POPULAR AT HOME
Report that Gallinger Will Not Re-
turn Secuted by His Friends.
Last Effort 10 Create Adverse Senti-
ment to Him Made Press of State
Demand His Recollection.

The baseless story which was cir
culated yesterday 10 the effect that Sena-
tor Gallinger, of New Hampshire, Chair
man OF the Committee on the District OF
Columbia Of the Upper House Of Con-
gress. would not return 10 Washington
at the expiration of his present term,
recalls an interview which was given out
in this city some time ago by a promi-
nent visitor from New Hampshire, and
its effect
The purport OF the interview was that
Senator Gallinger would be hOpelessly
defeated if he again became a candidate
for Senator. and it had the immediate
effect of bringing out every paper in his
home State as an unequivocal advocate
Of the Senator's recollection.
ANY attempt TO circulate such another
report" said a New Hampshire man. who
knows both the Senator and his con
stituents intimately. will have the same
effect-it will be a boomerang Senator
Gallinger is probably the strongest man
with the people Of New Hampshire who
has lived in that state for many years
and moreover. he is never stronger with
lLtll lllaM Hutn he is IN W dSlinklOn
They realize the responsibility Of his
position as chief of the District commit
tee, and they know also. from long ex.
perience. that their interests never suffer
for lack Of attention from him. Don't
worry about the Senator-he doesn't even
have 10 look out for himself; he has a
whole Stateful Of adherents who will sec
that he stays in the United States Senate
so long as be wants TO"
Senator Gallinger said yesterday. in re-
ply TO a query as 10 whether he would
attend the Republican national conven-
ton next June:
II have no idea what I shall do six
months from tO-day-it's too far off I've
been a delegate 10 so many national con-
ventions that they retain no particular
attraction for me. If my people order me
to go next June. suppose I'll have TO go
To tell the truth. I haven't time to think
about it just now"
Mr.. George w. Moses. editor Of the
Concord Evening Monitor. and a warm
friend Of the Senator's, has been in this
city for several days. lie declares that
Senator Gallinger will not only head the
New Hampshire delegation to the conven-
ton, but that he will stay in the Senate
until he climbs from the eighth rung OF
the seniority ladder. where he now stands
10 the first.

ASKS FOR NAVY WORK
Representative Roberts Tries to
Save Massachusetts, Mems Jobs.
Transfer of Orders from Washington
Yard Being Sought from
the Department.

Representative Roberts. OF Massachu-
setts. has taken up with the Navy De-
partment the question OF transferring GER
tain ordnance work from the Washington
Navy Yard 10 the Boston Navy Yard. in
order TO save the positions Of at least
a part OF the men employed there who
have either been discharged or who are
elected for dismissal
One hundred and ten workmen in the
ordnance bureau at the Boston Navy
Yard out OF total Of 40 have already
been discharged II additional work could
be provided. part OF these men might
be Teinstated.
After looking the field over. Mr.. Rob
erts discovered that practically ell Of
the ordnance work under the Navy De-
partment has been allotted 10 the yard
IN Washington. II a part Of this work
were transferred 10 Boston. Il would. Of
course. deprive a number OF men in Wash
ingtOn- Of employment; but, while Mr.
Roberts regrets this. II is natural that
his interest should be chiefly with his
own constituents and the people Of his
own state.

BULLET CORES MAY DECIDE.
Expect Important Result at Resump-
tiOn of Brownsville Question.

Further developments are promised in
the Brownsville imbroglio to-day. The
Senate Committee on Military Affairs will
meet at 1870 O'Clock this morning to re-
sumo consideration Of the famous shoot
ing up" Of the Texas town, and it is
expected that something will be devel-
oped concerning the specimen bullets sub
mitted as evidence which may radically
affect the final outcome of the commit
tees report
Analysis of some Of the bullets are said
to show that they do not contain the
substance prescribed by the government
contracts for such missiles, and either
the bullets were not prepared for the
government or they were not up to the
contract standard. Senator Foraker is
anxious 10 find out which Of these theo-
ries is correct, as its effect on the de-
cision may be far reaching.

There is little likelihood that any of the
important matters pending in the Senate
which affect the District OF Columbia will
be acted upon before the Christmas recess.
which probably will begin on Thursday
OF next week. and continue until the sec
ond week Of the New Year.
The vacancies existing on the District
Committee make a full meeting of the
committee impossible, and the Union
Station track bill. the investigation of the
public school muddle, and other District
matters which are pending are considered
Of too great Importance to be considered
by an incomplete comittee.
Senator Gallinger will doubtless bring
these matters before the committee at its
first meeting after the reorganization.

ment of the additional committeeman. but
it is the general impression that this re-
organization cannot now be affected be-
fore the holidays.

ceptance OF Mr.. Andrew Carnegies offer
