ITEM SHOULD GO
OUT, SAID CLARK
Montana Man Possessed of
Ground Which Was Desired
for a Public Park.

Washington, March 3-The second con-
ference report on the sundry civil bill
was presented in the house today by Mr..
Tawney and agreed to. Six items were
reported still in disagreement and by de-
cisive votes the house instructed the con-
ferees to further insist upon their dis
agreement to the senate amendments.
These related to the construction of
new building at Denver, the purchase of
a site for a new department building at
Washington. an appropriation Of s125,0oO
to carry silver dollars TO and from the
treasury, the purchase of ground for adj
difiOnal parks in Washington, the inves-
tigation of woman and child labor. and
the consolidation of purchases of miscel-
ianeous supplies for the executive depart
ments.
Knew Nothing About the Park.
During the discussion it developed that
Senator Clark of Montana is part owner
of the ground in Anacostia, District of
Columbia, which some people desire for
a public park, and Mr.. Clark of Florida
charged that the realty company with
which the senator from Montana does
business is lin the habit of buying up
valueless pieces of land and then unload
ing them on the government.
Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota said in reply
that Senator Clark knew nothing of the
contemplated purchase until he read of
il in the record, and that ne had then
said to the confereeS that in view of his
connection with the property the item
should properly go out
LET u make IL unanimous" replied
Mr. Clark of Florida, amid laughter. The
bill was then sent to the conference for
a third time.

Romantic Inspiration.

The Inspiration of this exposition is
the romantic and inspiring event of the
nations history and the decentralization
ofthe three hundredth anniversary OF
the country's birth provides a powerful
appeal TO the patriotism and sentiment
of the great American public. 1t is sit
uated in and surrounded by the most

Cannot Be Expressed in Money.
To those who judge an affair of this
kind by the actual monetary value in
vOlved, 1t may be said that the James
town exposition. in its variou features.
derivative, cOntributOry, and accessory,
will represent a money valuation OF quite
three hundred and fifty millions of dol
lars, fact supported by evidence and
easy demonstration. Whatever an expo
sition provides for the pleasure and en-
tertainInsnt of visitors is a legitimate
asset of such exposition, and the ques-
ton Of how end whence any feature is
derived in no wise alters the fact of its
actuality. The participation of the ma
tons of the world with their armies and
navies is alone sufficient to make this
a great exposition, and while this might
be eliminated and still leave a notable
celebration. the addition of these features
invest 1t with the dignity of a great world
event, and assure triumph.
VIII Set d Precedent.
In the conception of this enterprise it
was realized that the exposition of the
twentieth century must offer novelty and
originality and things other than these
met with in the daily walks of life, and
so, while the Industrial and commercial
features of the jamestown exposition will
be entirely adequate and equal to the
displays of some of the greater of its
kind. these have, nevertheless, been made
secondary to the romantic, the specta-
cular. the pieasurable and the historical,
to the end that it will set an unique pre-
cedent in the history of expositions, and
demonstrate that there is something new
under the sun.
Step by step. feature by feature, the
project has from its inception been stead

distinction and impressiveness, the ulti-
mate perfection of which will be reveal
ed in the impressive pageantry of the
great military. marine and naval displays
