LABOR UNIONS or WASHINGTON
 ADOPT RESOLUTIONS.
Candidacy of Mir. Taft is Strongly Condo Ne- groes Are Coming Out Boldly
 For the Ncbraskan.

washington D. C.. Aug. 4.--(Spe- eial. 1.-the Central Labor Union or Washington, has adopted resolutions strongly indorsing Bryan for the pres idency and as strongly condemning the candidacy of Taft
 Indeed the latter Is roundly cen sured for his course in regard to laboring men. The Central Labor Union is we'll made up of delegates from the various organizations of the city and meetings are held every week practically during the year. The vote by which the resolutions were adopt ed was overwhelmingly in faNvr of Bryan. The only opposition came from members of the Typographical and Plate Printers Unions. This is due to the fact that the ruling spirits in these two organizations are employed at the Government Printing Office and Bureau of Engraving and Labor.
 Samuel Gompers president of the American Federation of Labor, made an earnest speech urging the Central Labor Union to adopt the resolutions. and those who were present, say that he was most yociferousiy applauded. showing that the organizations here are standing by him in the course he has taken against Candidate Taft.
 Gompers and other prominent labor officials here state that this expres- EIOn klNCS an lOcd OI LH6 LcCltNk III labor circles throughout the United States Gompers Is daily receiving letters from Union officials all over the land pledging him their support in the course he has adopted with reference to the political contest now going on.

 "The trouble with the negro is." said he, 'tha< he has blindly followed one party. The solidarity of the me- gro vote has stopped the advance of the negro race in this country"
 Dr. Waller took up the Brownsville affair and declared that Booker Wash tngton could have stayed the Presi- dents hand had he chosen.
 Northern capitalists have s3.000.- 000600 invested in the South and they fear unrest there," he continued. "Un- rest means no dividend"
 The speaker charged that the cap- italists had chosen Washington as their representative. He was bitter dn his denunciation of the latter
 T am not afraid to face the ques- fion which will be asked concerning the treatment of the negro by the Democrats in the South," he continued.
 T declare that the Democratic party has been compelled to do what it has done In the South in sheer self de- fense. because we have been stupidly Tnassed against 1t, The first step in our salvation will come when we d. vide our votes and stop giving it to one party that does nothing for us."

Submit Report.

That. although vermin was found upon
two patients several days after their
transfer from the Washington Asylum
Hospital to the Government Asylum
for tho insane. no fault lies with the
management of the former institution.
is the statement made in the report of
Charles p. NeiH and DR.. George NJ

appointed by the Commissioners.
The investigation was made upon a
charge that Leila Devine, Hattie Mil
Ter. AlonZo Jackson and Josiah Inghram
were received by the Government
Asylum for the Insane from the Wash
ington Asylum Hospital with vermin
upon them.
Referring specifically to the four
cases mentioned in the complaint. the
report says:
We find that in the cases Of Leila
Devine anu Hattie Miller. no vermin
were found on their persons or cloth

the Government Hospital. Vermin were
discovered on the heads OF these pa
tlents several days after their admission
to the hospital.
In commenting upon the report of the
committee. Commissioner Macfarland
said:
The report shows that the investiga-
ton made by the Board OF Charities
was very thorough. The committee,
consisting Of DE- Charles P NeiU and
DR.. George NJ. Kober, which did the
actual work, was especially qualified for
It. The report illustrates once more
the absolute necessity for a new ununic-
ipai hospital on the new municipal hos
pital site. The Superintendent of the
Washington Asylum has done the best
he could with the makeshift hospital.
but It ought no longer to be kept be-
tween the jail and the t1orkhouse, to

OF JUSTICE
FOR SUPREME COURT
BEFORE CONGRESS

Present indications are now that Rep
resentative Lttlefeld Of Maine viii
succeed IN his efforts to have this ses-
sion Of Congress enact preliminary leg
islauon for the erection Of a superb
s. 10000 building for the United States
Supreme Court on the north side of the
square on which the Capitol, the L.
brary Of Congress, and the House office
building now front.
This preliminary legislation, il il is
enacted, I-ill prOvios for the prepara-
tion Of plans for the structure, with
the provision that the building shall
not cost more than $6000 O00
Mr.. Littlefelds plan Is to have the
supervision Of the construction lodged
in a commission Of three-one from
the Supreme Court. and one from each
OF the Committees on Judiciary IN the
House and Senate. His desire is TO
have built a VeTitable palace Of JUS
tice. a handsome structure that shall
be devoted exclusively to the delibera-
tions OF the Supreme Court and TO any
international tribunals that may meet
here in the future.
A bin for such a structure has been
pending in one form or another for
the past ten or twelve years. 1t has long

ters of the court are lamenJably
cranped ana insufficient. There is on
record now a report Of the present
Speak, MIR. Cannon, setting forth the
advisabiiity OF enlaTging the quarters
of the court. but pointing out that IL
is impossible TO enlarge the Capitol
so as to make the courts rooms more
CommodiOus.
Mr. LitUlehelds plan is to have in
the new structure. in addition to the
court room and a big tribunal hall. a
separate room for each member Of the
court rob.ng rooms, consultation rooms.
four or six rooms for counsel in cases
before the court, a room for the At
torney General and the United States
marshal, more space TO-. the Offices Of
the clerk OF the court, and more library
space. In addition to this, IL is his de-
sign to have every modern convenience
and comfort in the building, which shall
be the most beautiful court building in
the world.
At present the law library Of the Su-
preme Court is so crowded as TO be in
convenient 10 the justices and to those
who have to look for books in il. Like
wise. the present offices of the clerk of
the court are too crowded These fea-
lures will be eliminated If the Little
field plan is carried out
The proposition of the gentleman from
Maine gains added interest when IL is
remembered that scarcely anything has
been done to improve or add to the
quarters Of the court since 17S7
If the plans as contemplated by Mr..
LittIefield are carried out, the home of
the United States Supreme Court will
be more handsome even than the famous
Palace De Justice in Brussels.
