largely responsible for this great change.
Perhaps the most conspicuous exam

Representative Sulzer OF New York.
yesterday took issue with Representative
Dalzell. who, on Wednesday, produced a
clipping from a morning newspaper in
which some remarks rather derOgatory TO
William Jennings Bryan were set forth
Mr. Sulzer said that the article in
question, which he understood Mr. Dali
zell to say. was a report OF a resolution
adopted by the Virginia Democratic As
soclation. was a misstatement of fact
He produced an affidavit from r. F. Yel-
lott. president Of the Virginia Democratic
Association, IN which Mr.. Yellott dis
claimed the resolution. and said that it
had never been voted upon by his asso-
citation.
Mr.. Sulzer said the purport OF Mr.. Dali
zells speech, that part, at least. in which
he referred TO Mr.. Bryan, had been to
place facts which Were incorrect before
the public, through the Congressional
Record
MIR. Dalzell. who entered the hall be-
fore the New Yorker had finished speak

NAVY YARD TRACK TO STAY
Senate Amends Bill and Railroad Is
Enjoined by Court.
Government VIII Buy Right of Way
for New Line and Company viii
Accept This Compromise.

Two events which occurred yesterday
viii have the combined effect OF prevent
ing the Washington Navy Yard from
with the outside world
The Senate passed the Carter bill 10
require the Philadelphia. Baltimore and
Washington Railroad Company to con-
struct a new track connection with the
navy yard along the bank Of the Ana
costa River and 70 maintain the present
track connection pending the completion
of the new line, after amending the bill
so as to authorize the payment by the
government of $4,000 10 the railroad for
the private right of way which must be
secured for the new line.
Chief Justice Clabaugh, in the District
Supreme Court, issued a temporary IN
junction restraining the railroad from re-
moving the present track connection, or
in any way interfering with its use
The injunction is made returnabIe on
March 20 for argument. This assures suf-
icient time for the bill TO pass the
House and receive the signature OF
the President II relieves the railroad
company from the necessity of tearing uu
the tfacKs before midnight tonight in or
der TO get the s.. 800 900 which the govern
ment still owes on the sum allowed the
company by the Union Station act The
money was withheld by the terms OF the
act 10 assure the removal Of the tracks
The company will not oppose the in
junction, since II is thereby relieved
from the operation of the station act as
regards the navy yard track. The order
fCcf1Ad M
Attorney Baker and Assistant District
Attorney Mcnamara, who acted at the
request OF the Navy Department.
1t is believed that the bill which yester-
day passed the Senate will not be opposed
in the House, and that the danger Of iso-
lation which threatened the yard has
been disposed of effectually.
