PUBLIC BUILDING BILL
 PASSED BY THE HOUSE

Washington. May 15,-Under suspen- sion of the rules the House today passed the public building bill carry ing. an appropriation of $23, 100000 MT. Bartholdt (Mo.), briefly explained It's provisions which he said would result in giving work to many unemployed.
 Tn opposing the bill Mir. Fitzgerald IN. Y.) of the Committee on Appro- priatfons, protested against the lack of opportunity afforded to consider 1t in detail. He charged that the spells had been evenly distributed so as to forestall the veto with which he said President Roosevelt was credited with tfreatening Congress The bill" he said, will go through by the cohesive power of public pfunder."
 Mr. Jenkins (Wis) vigorously re- sented the statement of Mfr. Fitzger- ald. The effect of his language. MT. Jen1xins charged. was that the members of the House had been purchased. He wanted to know how many Democrat ic Indians'' the Republicans got yes- terday on the currency bill through knowfedge of the fact that in the mat Ter of public buildings. they were sharing equally as well as the Repub-
 With corresponding yigor Mfr. Fitz- gerald disclaimed making any such suggestion.

tial candidate this year. and this in- terest is intensified because of the re- cent announcement of Senator John ston that he prefers the Minnesotan to the Nebraskan.
 The point Is made here by many of the anti Bryan men that this Is all the more significant by reason of the fact that the Senator twelve years ago was at the front of the Bryan movement in Alabama.
 Since his interview was published Senator Johnston has received numer- ous letters from Alabama. He says one came from Anniston this morning in which the writer expressed the opin- ion that Calhoun county would certain ly be carried by the Johnson support CTS. The Senator says he does not yet know enough of the sentiment to be able to judge how the state will go at the primaries, but from what he has heard he is inclined to think the John son ticket stands a pretty good chance.
 It is known here from private con- versations that many Democratic Sem ators are opposed to MT. Bryan. but they are not willing at this Juncture to give out any statement for publica- tion It is the same way with some of the ardent advocates of Mir. Bryan. Certain things cause them to refrain from being quoted and all this is doubt less due to local conditions in their respective states.
 As Alabama is the first of the South ern States in which M the packers of Governor Johnson have put up a straight fight the result is anxiously awaited here.
