Money Spending

Busy for Week

In the House. money and what 10 do
with il were the chief topics throughout
last week
The District appropriation bill is yet
before the House, but one-half OF It has
been read and passed on in the commit
tee OF the whole. one big feature Of
the consideration of this measure was
the action OF Champ Clark ia having
stricken from the bin the appropriation
or $4,000 for the purchase Of public
Fairgrounds in this city.
Mr.. Clark took the ground that the
proposition was merely a plan 10 sell
the Government a big lot of land. He
therefore. raised q point OF order against

chair at the time, said he would have

How He Did II.
He accomplished this by asking that
the House non-concur in the Senate

cept the amendment by the Senate that
the salaries OF the Speaker, Vice Presi-
dent. and members OF the Cabinet be

as had been provided in the bill by the
House.
Mr.. Littauer moved that the House in

members OF the Cabinet be retained in

Entire Program Set AWry
by Controversy
Raging.
Child Labor Bill Believed to
Be Lost for This
Session.
Car Shortage Problem May
Be Left to the Rail-
roads.

Almost the entire program of pro-
posed legislation in the Senate has been
set awry by the unexpected develop
ments in the brownsville case. Senators
who were cosnizant Of the difficulty of
settling the Brownsville controversy,
and who aEe aware of the time that Is
now likely 70 be occupied IN debating
il were seriously asking yesterday
whether it would be possible 10 get any
thing accomplished in the remaining
weeks of the session.
Naturally. the appropriation bills Will
receive attention II this is possible. IN
some way, in a crisis OF this kind a
method is usually found TO get the ap-
preparation bills through. But there is
a large number of other important mat
ters pending. according To every indi-
cation, now will go by the board.
Philippine Tariff Dead.
Before the Brownsville case became so
complicated, little hope was entertained
of getting the Philippine tarin bill dis
posed of. Now practically no hope ex-
lists that Il will be acted on. The diffi-
Culties OF reaching a vote on the SmOOt
case are also enhanced. IL is true the
SmOOJ resolution is a question Of the
highest privilege, but il is not easy to
keep IL 10 the front when there is a
controversy raging of the intensity that
belongs 70 the Brownsville case. II be-
gins 10 look extremely doubtful wheth-
er a vote will be reached this session
