Not Unlikely House Will
Adopt Conference Report.
BOON FOR SECTIONS OF CITY
Leaders, However, Have Proposed to
Wait Until Next Session to ApprO-
ure-senatOr Clay Scents Political
Trick to Help in Elections.

It was made extremely likely yesterday
that two more parks. one in Georgetown
the other on the summit of Sixteenth
street. Will be added TO the system of the
Capital.
An agreement was reached on the ON
nibus public buildings bill. and the
amendment OF the Senate appropriating
s64O. 900 for the purchase Of sites for these
parks was accepted by the House con-
ferees. II is regarded as almost GER
tain that the House viii accept the con-
ference report thus insurlng the estab-
lishment or parks in sections OF the city
In which their need has been long felt
The proposed Sixteenth street park will
comprise the tract of about ten acres of
land on Meridian Hill, bounded by Euclid
street, Columbia road or Fifteenth street.
W street or Florida avenue. and Six
teenth street extended. The Senate made
an appropriation of $4,000 for this pur-
chase.
The park to be established In George
town at a cost OF $4,000 will comprise
the Montrose tract containing about six
teen acres. 1t lies north of r street and
east OF Lovers lane
The bill as finally agreed to is practi-
cally in the form that ii passed the Sen
ate, and carries about SIS. 900. 900.
Senator Scott Pleased.
Senator Scott. of West Virginia. when
he submitted the report In the Senate,
remarked that it was "the best public
building bill that has ever passed the
Senate" speaking from his experience of
a number Of years of service on the COM
mittee.
Everybody will be happy" remarked
the Senator
And yet everybody IS not happy. There
IS a probability that Congress will ad-
journ without appropriating any money
TO carry out the projects authorized in
the omnibus bill. The last general ap-
preparation bin has passed both Houses.
and there is no other measure In which
the appropriations 10 begin the work can
be passed. unless the Senate and House
decide to put through an urgent defcien-
cy bin.
The leaders have proposed to wait IN
III the next session Of Congress to appro-
pirate the money. They point out that
the supervising architect of the Treasury
Is already far behind In executing the
public building plans u1der authorizations
OF Congress, and that even If the money
were available now. he could hardly be-
gin work on any OF the projects author
lied al this session before next year.

FOREIGN STEAMSHIP
LINES MUST PAY

Foreign steamship companies engaged
In the business Of transporting passen-
gers, freight, and mail between Ameri-
can and foreign ports and receive an
income from business transactions and
capital invested in the United States
are subject 70 the / per cent tax on
their earnings above $500 just the same
as are domestic corporations.
Such is the effect OF an important de-
cision rendered by the Attorney General
in response 70 an inquiry from Secre-
tary Of the Treasury MacVeagh.
The decision has been awaited with
great interest by lawyers I'm view Of the
fact that a number Of interesting legal
points were involved in this application
Of the corporation tax law. One argu-
ment Of the steamship companies was
that, lnasmUch Rs the transportation OF
passengers and freight from a dock in
the United States was the extent OF
their business in the country, an at
tempt 10 tax that business was IN real
lty an attempt to impose an export tax
IN violation of the American COnstitu-
ton.
Against this the Attorney General
makes an interesting argument 10 the
erect that n this contention should be
left out II would simply mean a reco--
milton OF the fact tEat the steamship
companies did business only on the high
seas. and that they could be neither
taxed at New York nor az LIVERPOOL or

Unable to Prove Suspect
Committed S15,OOOA
JeweIry Robbery.

Efforts on the part of the police TO
show that Andrew Lee, accused of "A
number of robberies in the Blooming
dale section, was responsible for the
$4,000 jewelry theft from the residence
Of Mrs. Rebekah Hornby. 17I5 1 street,
have failed.
A negro who saw two men enter a
vacant house adjoining Mrs. Hornsby's
residence the day the robbery was
committed. and who are suspected of
being responsible for the theft, this
morning called at the Eighth precince
station and failed to identify Lee as
one Of them
So far nothing has developed that
connects him directly with the Hornsbv
robbery, and the only ground left for
suspecting that he was implicated In
the big jewelry theft is the fact that
more than 5000 in cash was found IN
his possession. which is believed to be
part Of the proceeds Of the sale of the
jewelry
Lee will be arraigned in the Police
Court tomorrow on two charges Of
housebreaking and one OF carrying con-
Cealed weapons.
The compIainants in the housebreak-
ing cases are John n. Anderson. l54

T street. Lee is accused OF obtaining
about 500 worth of jewelry from the
two residences.
Photographs OF Lee and mis- BertiIIon
measurements have been sent broadcast
over the country In the hope Of learning
something of his record but as vet no
replies have been received. The police

oner as Richard p Wilson, who has a
criminal record in Massachusetts. put

DR.. White Scores System
Following Fatality In
Police Ambulance.

The body OF Edward Jones. a negro
inmate Of the Government Hospital for
the Insane. who died from hemorrhage
in a police ambulance yesterday, was
removed this morning to the District
morSue, where an autopsy win be per-
formed bv Deputy Coroner GlazebrOok.
While an inquest probably will not bc
necessary, Coroner Tevitt will not dis
pose OF the case until he has made a
thorough investigation.
Jones was picked up on the street on
February &c. and since that time had
been confined at the hospital on the
temporary commitment Of two physi-
clans. He was taken before a jury in

the Eleventh precinct, who was a
charge Of che patrol wagon. A short
distance from the hospital the negro
was taen suddenly with hemorrhage OF

Of n physician
Or White, superintendent OF St
Elizabeths, said this morning that the
negro'S death was another striking ex-
ample Of the necessity Of changing the
present system that requires the re-
moving of an insane man from an in
stitutlOn OF this sort.
Il do not mean 10 say that the police
man in charge Of this man was in any
way responsible for his death, out the
system that requires such procedure
has no place in a civilized nation" said
the superintendent.
He was taken from here in an open
police ambulance, IN charge OF a DO
hceman, hauled through the streets Of
me city during snow storm, hailed be-
fore Jury. and after being mixed with
criminals Of all sorts was returned here
dead"
DR.. White said the question OF insan-
lty was a medical qUs stion and should
be decided by medical men.

Prevention of Infant Nor

Officers Plan.

In order 10 prevent as much as pos
sible infant mortality in the District OF
Columbia, Health Officer Woodward has
recommended that the present law be
amended so as 20 provide for the fling
Of the reports Of births with The Health
Department within twenty-fOui hours.
Al present IL is possible for a period
of eleven days to eIapse between the
date Of birth ana the time of the filing
OF the report
There is nothing 10 be gained by this
delay" says DR.. Woodward. "and much
to be lost" The Instructive Visiting
Nurses Society sends a trained nurse
10 the mother Of each child s,orn with
out medical attendance 70 ascertain the
needs OF the mother and child Among
the most important features Of such
work IS the proper oversight Of the eyes
Of heWly-bOrn babies, diseases Of which
constitute probably the most common
cause Of blindness.
When such diseases o~c,u within the
1Tst few days after birth and when the
birth is not reported for eleven days

Nh Murphy then took ZIP the sugges-
tlons made by Edward T Devine. OF the
New York Charity Oreanlzauon society

by Dr. DeVlne had been very cdtelullN
