SENATOR'S OCCUPY
UNSAFE QUARTERS
Incident Emphasizes Danger OF
Collapse of Building Used
by Finance Committee
Conceded That Structure Should
Have Been Condemned and
Will Be Abandoned

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The fact
that a sarge number of senator's have
been occupying quarters for several
years that were perilous to life,
in a building that, 1t is now conceded.
should have been condemned, was en-
phasized today by the refusal OF. FL
lott Woods, superintendent Of the CAPT
tol, to- permit any increase of the
weight upon the floors through the ad-
mission of documents needed by the
national monetary commission.
The building where these conditions
exist is known as the senate annex,
situated one square from the capitol
building. The finance committee of
the senate has occupied quarters there
for several years, together with the
force employed in gathering data for
tariff and currency legislation.
In addition three democratic sena-
tors and six republican senators have
their office rooms in the building, but
within the next few months they will
move to the handsome marble structure
which is just being completed for use
as senate offices.
The finance committee desired to
carry into the building a large number
of documents and volumes on the sub
ject of finance. but Senator Aldrich was
told that the floors of the annex would
not carry an extra pound with safety.
This brought out the fact that several
senator's have been compelled to keep
their law Libraries at their homes be-
cause of the overlooking of the floors
of the annex. All of the senators and
committees OF the senate annex will be
transferred to the new building.

PEARL HARBOR TO HAVE
THE LARGEST DRYDOCKS
Provision Made for Accommo-
dation of Two BattIeships
or Three Cruisers
ISpecidI Dispatch 10 The Call


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Bids have
been invited by the navy department
for the construction at Pearl harbor.
Hawaii. of what will be the largest
drydock in the world, a dock nearly
twice the size of any now in existence.
The plans for this dock provide that
it shall be 1,195 feet long and 140 feet
in width. Not less than 10000 cubic
yards of concrete will be used in it's
construction. 1t will have two COM
partments, and two battleships may be
docked in it al the same time, or 1t will
accommodate three cruisers at one time.
over this immense drydock will be
a forty ton crane capable of lifting
and carrying the heaviest pieces of
armor to any point in the dock
The calling for bids for the construc-
ton of such an enormous drydock as
this in the mid Pacific is regarded in
Washington as being of more than
ordinary Importance, although no i'm
mediate significance is attached to it,
The building of the dock will be one
of succession of steps TO strengthen
the United States in the Pacific with
out menace to any other nation. Other
steps which have been taken without
ostentation but with a determination to
be ready to protect American interests
in the Pacific have been the strength
ening Of the Notifications in the Philip
pines, the construction of coaling sta
tlops there, the fortifying of Pearl har-
Dor, the establishment of a naval and
army supply depot at Fort Mason and
the decision that some of the subma-
rlnes about to be provided for shall go
to the Pacific coast

AT HOUSE
RULES is GROWING
Insurgeut Republicans Negoti-
ATE With Democrats to
Make Revolt Effective
Amendment Providing for Day
of Consideration, Optimists
Say, May Garry

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-The in
surgents against the present rule of
the house are leaving Washington for
their homes, jubilant over the progress
they have made in stirring up insur-
rection in the republican ranks They
Will tell their constituents that before
the end of thes session the rules will
be amended
one OF the insurgents expressed HIM
self today as certain that at least one
change would be made in the rules.
This was an amendment providing for
a DAY each week for the call of COM
mittees of bills on the union calendar
and on the house calendar.
Some of the most optimistic claim
this is all that is necessary to get re-
lief from the present rule. A call of
the committees would enable the com
mittees to get before the house all of
the important bills of the various
kinds, it is urged, and would relieve
the speaker of liability to charges of
preventing legislation which was de-
manded by the people.
inasmuch as the house would have
an opportunity to pass on the bills in
the course of short period surely dur
Ing session Of congress, the packing
OF committee against a bin would
have no other effect than the influence
of the opinion of it's members upon
those who had not Investigated the
subject thoroughly.
1t is acknowledged by some OF the
leaders of the insurgents that the only
hope of amending the rules lies in the
action of the minority. Ever since con-
gress convened emissaries from the in
surgents have been in conference with
the democrats
The new minority leader, Represen-
tative Champ Clark of Missouri, does
not feel himself required to bind his
party to any program until he sees how
the republicans will line up. He OBJ
Jects to forming an alliance with the
insurgents, which he fears may eventu-
ally be broken when the majority of
them might recognize they are losing
and leave the democrats holding the
bag while the republicans would get
all the glory
The minority is willing to stand for
an amendment of the rules, ii is un-
derstood, I'm accordance with the plat
form of the Denver convention. but it
would like to get just as much credit
as possible for the reforms

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-If bill
