Washington, D. C., March 27-v- (speciai) )--Last night John sharp wil- Hams furnished to the press associa- tions a lengthy statement outliuing the policy he thought the House Democrats should pursue during the rest of the session. when the minority leader read some of the morning papers in this section of the country he was mad ali over, for he says that his views were not only garbled and twisted around to please certain people but the salient points were carefully omitted.
 What Mr. Williams complained most of was that an attempt was made 10 have iiis statement appear as q whole sale indorsement of President Roose- veft. What he has been driving at ia to make the House Republicans get down to work and pass some of the bills that are demanded by the people, Instead of running along on a do-noth-
 Ths Democratic leader did today what he has never done before dur Ing his lonE service In Congress. he read from the manuscript his views. This he Insisted was the sure way or having his statement correctly pub lished in the Congressional Record at least.
 Mr. Williams is undoubtedly full or fight, and from what he says. he is determined to make the minority wake up and haul the Republicans over the coals ct every opportunity.
 Chairman Bartholdt4 of the House Public Buildings Committee is of the opinion that an omnibus Dill carrying not in excess of $is,000.0 .000 will be pasted before the close of the ses- sion.

BURLINGAME, May 2s.-The cleo
tion for the Incorporation of Burlin-
game today proved one of the most
strenuous battles of this kind that San
Mateo county politicians ever took part
in and when the polls closed this
evening Burlingame was a town. the
vote standing 80 to SO in favor OF in
corporation. The voting was heavy
all day and 173 out of total of 207
ballots were cast.
The following officers were chosen:
Trustees, III. p. Frear. Erie Lange, G.
w Gates. s. w. McGavran, E. F..
Treadwell; city clerk. DIR. L. III. Chap
man; treasurer, c. z. Dunshue; mar
shall. d. K. Jones.
For several weeks past the women
of the city made an active campaign
for incorporation. 1t was mainly
through their efforts that the propo-
sition carried. They were bitterly
fought by the opposing faction. The
fair residents of the place pleaded for
votes on the ground that should in
corporation carry the Chinese wash
houses would be eliminated and the
roadhouses in the vicinity forced to
close. The following dodger, which
was spread broadcast this morning by
the women, created quite furry:
Vote and vote for Incorporation.
We still have the use of the Burlin-
game schoolhouse, which belongs to
the county and to you and me. Chinese
wash houses can't afford to locate
here after Incorporation. The super
visors will not permit roadhouse to
operate at the west end of the county
road. as they have refused to issue
licenses to all localities in the vicinity
except Burlingane.
