MORE TIME DESIRED
VENEZUELAN QUESTION NOT
TAKEN UP BY COMMITTEE.


Contrary to expectation. the Venezuelan
question was not touched upon either by
Secretary Root or by members of the
Senate foreign relations committee to-
day 1t is understood that the commit
tee members desire further time in which
to inform themselves before taking up
this subject.
The tentative plan for dealing with
Venezuela now under consideration by the
committee contemplates three measures
which, it is believed, will have a per-
suasive effect in bringing President Castro
to a settlement Of the claims by arbitra-
ton as has been repeatedly suggested by
the United States. They are:
The establishment of prohibitive tar
III on Venezuelan coffee.
The exclusion from the United States
of all importations of asphalt from
Venezuela.
Granting of authority to the President
to exercise the general authority vested
in him to take such steps as he may
deem necessary to procure the settlement
of the claims.

COSTA RIGA AND TRUST.
Question in Senate as to Regulating
Foreign Monopoly.

Senator Johnston of Alabama intro
duced "a resolution directing the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor to investi-
gate the operation of the United Fruit
Company. which is engaged In handling
tropical fruits. Mr.. Johnston explained
that the company had secured an edic,
from the Costa Rican government prohib-
iting rival company from exporting
from Costa Rica any bananas intended
for shipment to the United States. He
wants to ascertain whether such a course
is permissible under our laws.
The question is" said Mr.. Johnston
whether a trust can shield itself behind
the shadow of some little republic and
defy this government, and the purpose OF
this resolution is to have the committee
on interstate commerce see whether a
trust IN this country can use the agency
O. foreign government to protect itself
in its nefarous operations
The resolution was referred to the com.
mitee on interstate commerce.

NO DECISION REACHED.
Another Meeting of Conferees on
the Union Station Tracks.

t0c Ou1OA OtdIIOu 4TdChS.
Nothing but progress came as a re-
suit of the fourth meeting Of the Senate
and House conferees on the Union sta
ton trackage bill late yesterday after
noon. Senator Gallinger said before the
meeting that he hoped "the matter would
be settled at the meeting. but apparently
the hope was forlorn.
A curious situation has arisen as a re-
suit of the meetings that have been held.
Representative Sims of Tennessee, one of
the House conferees. insists the only thing
that holds up the action Of joint confer
ence and creates the deadlock is the solid
ity of the senators. and he says 1t so often
and so hard that it appears he really
means 1t On the other hand. the Sem
ate conferees declare with strong con-
vlction ,nat ii is merely the obdurate and
obstinate attitude of the House conferees-
mostly Mr.. Sims-that makes the dead
lock.
In the meantime there are no tracks to
the station and there is getting to be less
chance every day of having any as a re-
suit of this session Of Congress.

WAS BUSY WITH MR.. L|lLEY
TESTIMONY OF A CONNECTICUT
MANUFACTURER
Tried to influence Representative
in Favor of Submarine
Boats.

Franklin A. Taylor of Waterbury,
Conn. vice president Of the Randolph
CLOVIS Company. manufacturers of brass
and copper, was the first witness called
today by the special committee OF the
House that is investigating the charges
against the Electric Boat Company. He
said he had told Representative Lilley to
vote for submarine boats. as there was q
possibility of his company getting some
business If the boats were ordered.
He was present In the Waterbury Club
a week ago Saturday. he said, while Mr..
Lilley was talking with a number OF gen.
tlemen about the present investigation.
According to Mr.. Taylor Mr.. Lilley said
it was quite likely that he would get an
adverse decision and in that event he said
he would go on the floor of the House and
tell all that he knew about the whole
matter of submarine boats.
Mr.. Taylor said that he never lost an
opportunity to impress upon Mr.. Lilley
that he ought to vote for submarines and
that he had shaken his fist at Mr.. Lilley
several times. but always in a jocular
manner. He did not Intimate to him that
he had gone to him at the instigation Of
the Electric Boat Company
Mr.. Taylor said that he had been re-
quested by John P. Kellogg. one of the
attorneys for the Electric Boat Company,
in January. 1908, Ito get busy with Mr..
Lilley and again tell him about the pos
sibilities of submarines"
Elihu B. Frost vice president of the Elec-
trio Boat Company. followed Mr.. Taylor.
Mr.. Frost said that he had given no
instructions to c. s. McNeir to employ
newspaper men to prepare articles on sub
marine boats or to influence Congrers.
Mr.. Howard read to the witness a list
Of the members Of the naval affairs COM
mittee Of the House. asking him after
each name If he knew the member. and II
he or any member Of his firm had ever
employed any attorney or agent in that
members district. With the exception of
Of Michigan. the witness said that so far
as he knew no attorney or agent was
employed in any members district

TO HOLD MEETING TOMORROW
SUBCOMMITTEE CONSIDERING
ANTI-BETTING BILL.
Action by the Senate District Com
mittee Friday Expected-Some
Sentiment Expressed.

No meeting Of the Carter subcommittee
on streets and avenues, which has charge
of the Benning road bill with the Sims
amendment to prohibit race-track gam
bling in the District of Columbia, was
held today owing to the fact that Sena-
tors Carter and Burkett wished to attend
the meetings of the foreign relations and
public buildings and grounds committees
respectively: but a meeting Is to be held
tomorrow, according to the present plans
Of Mr.. Carter.
The question has been raised at the
Capitol as to whether or not the sub
committee, If 1t decides to act favorably
on an anti-gambling measure. will report
to the District committee the Benning
road bill with the Sims amendment. or
the Burkett bill. which Is exactly the
same in purpose and wording as the
Sims amendment
1t is rumored at the Capitol that there
is strong sentiment in the Senate Dis
trict committee in favor of not interfer-
ing with race-track betting during the
meeting now In progress at the Benning
race track. Another rumOr is that there
is strong sentiment in favor of consider
ing the matter on its own merits, and
not as a part of the Benning road bill.
If the latter opinion should prevail the
Burkett bill will doubtless be favorably
reported. instead Of the House bill. This
would put the matter squarely before the
House as a separate proposition. and
would incidentally delay the enactment of
the legislation.
Favorable Action Counted On.
There is apparently not the slightest
doubt at the Capitol that the Senate Dis
trict committee will take favorable ac-
ton on the question Of anti-betting legis-
lation. But there is considerable doubt
as to how and when this action will be
taken. The opinion is pretty general,
nevertheless. that the committee will do
something Friday at its regular meet
Ing.
It Is known that Senator Burkett. as
the ranking member of the subcommittee
on streets and avenues. was ready to
make a favorable report on the House
bill, in the absence Of Senator Carter.
last Friday, but could not do SO. as the
absence of g. quorum prevented a meeting
of the full committee. Other senators on
the committee, on the other hand. are
known to prefer that the committee go
more slowly in the matter.

reau. and In this they were supported BY

man of Washington. The work of the
bureau was vigorously defended by
Messrs. Hepburn of Iowa and Scott of
Kansas.
Considerable time was devoted to dis
cusslng proposition by Mr.. Humphreys
of Mississippi to increase the appropria-
ton for the investigation of soils, which
was carried.
A little less than one-half of the bill had
been completed when the house adjourned.
