WASHINGTON, June 22.-(special Tele-
gram -Hardly had tho house adjourned |
yesterday after an an-night session last
ing until ! o'clock. when tho senate com
mlttee on public buildings and grounds, |
anticipating the passage OF tho omnibus |
public building bill, got together and the
way they hustled through the amended |
public building bill as "a caution.
When the senate convened at noon SEN |
ator Scott, chairman Of tie public build
ings and grounds committee was ready TO
report back the house bill with amend
ments amounting 20 about Sl0OOO,OO0 extra.
Then the senate got up and took notice for
such quick work, oven in the palmy days
Of the upper branch looked like derby Of
thirty years ago compared to the speed
which this committee developed in the
course of the mornings discussion on the
omnibus public building bill. OF course,
the senate committee has been sitting for
several days or the house bill and getting
ready for its reception. They certainly ex-
eee6od the speed limit on this bill.
Senators Burkett and Brown showed their
fine Italian hand In getting included In
the bill amendments amounting to S2B,OO0
over appropriations for Nebraska carried
I'm the house bill Burkett put in 100000 for
tho Lincoln postoffice and court house and
Senator Brown added $4,000 for Wahoo
But Burkett was not satisfied with $2OOOOO
for Lincoln He wanted $1,000 for Chadron
and therefore got busy, armed with letters
from Chairman Bartholdt OF the house
committee and the chairman Of the subcom-
mittee, stating that Chadron had been cut
out Of the house bill
Congressman Kinkaid was also busy. In
fact he had off his coat with Burkett and
hammer and tongs" they went after the
public buildings committee, with the result
that they agreed to report Chadron for $751;
900 when the bill is taken up. 1t is under
stood that the house will accept the senate
amendments so as to avoid a conference
increases for South Dakota.
Senators Gamble and Crawford secured
an increase of $4,000 for the building at
Huron; for buildings at Bookings and
Rapid City, $4,000 each, and for sites at
Madison and Redfieid $4,000 each.

dltional Improvements to the Fort Dodge
buildings Senator Warren obtained an in
crease of $4,000 for Rock Springs and
$1,000 for the cities OF Basin Green River,
and $1,000 for Buffalo,
Senator Burkett was overjoyed today in
putting out his boiler. inspection bill which
has had a hard road to travel since its in
PRODUCTION for 1t has met with opposition
of every railroad in the country.
The bill as reported by the Interstate
Commerce commission is substantially the
same as the Burkett bill, the only change
being made in the number of district in
spectors. Senator Burkett said that the
success In securing this favorable report
on the bill was due to the interest shown
by President Taft who had upheld him
throughout and made every effort to bring
IN nv he ,r,It
which was unanimous.
At q special hearing of the, house COM
rntted on military affairs at the request
of Representative KinlSaid to hear him
upon the bill to appropriate money to aid
the city of Crawford in procuring pure
water, the committee decided that propo-
sition was brought to their attention toe
late to do anything this session, so II
was seen that Crawford so far the gov
eminent is concerned, may continue tC
drink water considered on all hands to bt
polluted by sewers from Fort Robinson
Judge Kinkaid has worked valiantly FOL
an appropriation to aid Crawford, but 4
appears the committee on military affairs
in the past and again today refuses L
extend a helping hand.
