100000 APPROPRIATED FOR I'M.
PRovEMENTs APT TO GO
INTO TREASURY.
BY COVERING BACK SECTION
Senator Burton Gets Busy to Meet
Situation-Specified Amounts In
clude Money for Columbia River and
Harbor at Tacoma-Congress must
Take Specific Acton.

WASHINGTON, May Sunless
congress takes specific action at the
special session now in progress, nearly
$1,000,000 appropriated for river and
harbor improvements in various Sec
tiOns of the United States will be COW
cred back into the national treasury
much to the chagrin of many congress
men and seantors.
This situation arises over the "cov-
ering back" section of the sundry civil
appropriation bill, approved on March
4. This section provides that all unex-
pended balances of appropriations that
remained on the treasury books June
l. 1904, except permanent specified
appropriations, judgments and findings
of courts and trust funds and apprO-
pr1atiOnS, judgments and findings of
courts and trust funds and apprOpria-
tions for fulfilling treaty obligations
with the indians. be carried to the sur
plus fund and covered back into the
treasury; provided that the money is
not needed to pay existing treaties"
To meet the situation, Senator Bur-
ton has introduced a resolution provid-
ing that the section of the sundry civil
bill in question shall not be construed
as applying to the unexpended balan-
ces in river and harbor appropriations
which may be essential, in the judg-
ment of the secretary of war; for the
maintenance and prosecution of the
work for which it was appropriated.
Among the appropriations that will
revert are:
Mouth of Columbia river. Oregon,
$4,000; entrance to Coos bay, Oregon,
$4,000; restraining barriers Sacra-
mento and Feather rivers. California.
$4,000. and harbor at Tacoma, Wash,

TACOMA, May 8.-After having as

the purpose of investigating the red

Accompanying the report were five
indictments. An additional indict-

Sandberg. which charges the renting
Of a house for immoral purposes.
The report says that difficulty was
encountered in obtaining evidence
relative to the red light district for
the reason that much of the testimony
was based on hearsay and rumors.
The report says in part:
'We have found an indictment
against the mayor of this city for not
enforcing the law against this evil.
While the law stands as it is, it is
our duty to find such an indictment,
and we trust that our action in this
matter will result in minimizing the
evil in the city of Tacoma, and will
bring about the enactment Of some
law by the legislature of this state
whereby this evil may be controlled
