HOUSES FAIL TO AGREE
ON THE DISTRICT BILL
Measure Sent to Conference-Gard-
ner, Taylor and Burleson Will
Represent the House.

The District of Columbia appropria-
ton bill was called up in the House Of
Representatives today. and after .
brief discussion the body disagreed to
the Senate amendments and sent the
bill to conference. Speaker Cannon
named Representatives Gardner of
Michigan. Taylor of Ohio and Burle-
son Of Texas as conferees on the part
of the House. These are the three sen.
Tor members Of the District OF Column
bia subcommittee Of the committee on
appropriations.
Representative Cox OF Indiana ex-
pressed the hope that when the con.
ference report comes into the House
provision will be made for a separate
vote on that Senate amendment au-
thorizing the expenditure OF 100000
for the purchase Of the Klingle Ford
valley tract OF land.
Mr.. Gardner said that while he could
not speak for his fellow conferees, he
personally was opposed to this amend
mend. In consequence, q separate vote
on II will probably be permitted when
the measure comes back to the House
from the conference committee, the
latter part Of this week.

RIGHT TOSUE UPHELD
Liability of Railways for In
juries to Employees.
IOWA LAW is SUSTAINED
Acceptance of Benefits From Relief
Department Not a Bar to
Claims for Damages.
IOWA LAW IS SUSTAINED

The constitutionality Of the law OF
Iowa passed in 1898 enabling an employe
of the operating department Of a rail-
road to sue a railroad for injuries. not
withstanding the fact that he had re-
ceived injury benefits from relief de-
partment supported partially by the rail-
road was held today by the Supreme
Court Of the United States.
The constitutionality of the law was
attacked when Charles l.. MCGUIRE sued
the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy Rail
road, was held today by the Supreme
juries. MCGUIRE had been given $SS2 by
the Burlington relief department, an as
ISOLATION organized by this railroad and
its employees.
1t was claimed that one Of the regula.
tons of the relief department was that
employees must elect between accepting
relief from it and pressing a claim
against the company. The company first
contended that the recovery from the
relief fund was q bar to the action In
court, and when that was decided against
it an attack was made on the constitu-
tionality Of the code provision.
The supreme court of Iowa upheld the
constitutiQnality Of the law.
The Supreme Court today af1irmed the
decision of the state court in an opinion
announced by Justice Hughes.

COURT DIRECTS BUYER
TO COMPLETE SALE
Tax Title and Adverse Posses
sion Held to Be a Good or
MerchantabIe Title.

Purchasers of real estate a. auction
or otherwise should be careful to see
that the title to the property is guaran-
teed to be good of record" and not
merely "a good OF marketable title" JUS
tice Gould in Equity Court No. today
decided this way when he directed that
George W. Marsh. purchaser Of q half in
terest In the Marian apartments last
July. should complete the terms of sale.
even though an examination by a title
company failed to show a clear title Of
record.
Buyer Refuses to Take Property.
At the sale conducted by Daniel w.
O'Donoghue and ]. Miller Kenyon, trus-
tees. under order of the court. the auc-
tioneer announced that the title to the
property was good. but did not say
good OF record" When Mr. Marsh
had the title examined 1t was reported
to be based on an old tax deed and an
adverse possession of sixty years. many
years beyond the statutory limit.
Marsh declined to take the property.
and the trustees sought to enforce the
sale.
AS the title companies are accustomed
to report adversely on such claims Of
title. and. it is said. two justices Of
the District Supreme Court have sus-
tanned a different view from Justice
Gould. the result Of the appeal. which
Mr.. Marsh has noted. will be awaited
with interest by operators in real estate
generally.
Justice Gou1d's Decision.
Justice Gould said the weight Of the
authorities in the states held that a
tax title coupled with adverse possess
sion is a good or merchantable title,
and that the same view OF the law had
been taken by the District Court Of
Appeals.

CHARGES AGAINST HIM
Contends That Position Still
Awaits Henderson, Who Sur
rendered $3.50 as Security.

lenses in securing $3.50 from George A.
F. Henderson when employing him as
private secretary for an uncle who was
said to be accountant general of the
republic of Mexico, Federico Gray, who

sponses were received from the adver-
tisement. and Gray. it was charged,
entered into negotiations with two or
more OF the applicants to furnish cash
security for the faithful performance OF
the trusts to be imposed in them.
Alleged Surrender Of $3.50.
One of the men. Henderson, had reached
the contract stage in the negotiations. &C

employed. He volunteered to put UP the
$500 cash. instead Of a bond, to which, 1t
was testified. Gray acceded. and from the
roll of bills allowed Henderson to retain
$50 to secure his travelling expenses and
make ready for the journey.
Gray 1t was charged, represented that
he was British vice consul at Vera Cruz.
and his uncle accountant general OF the
republic OF Mexico. While he was ne
gotiating to employ Henderson he was
also dickering. according to the testimony.
with Elmar A. Geneste, who, becoming
apprehensive, notified the police, and

clared the Office of secretary to his un-

convicted In England and served time
there.

SUGGESTION BY MEMBER
RESENTED BY SPEAKER
Anger Aroused by Edwards OF
Georgia in House of
Representatives.

Representative Parsons Of New York,
who was absent from the House yester-
day when Representative Edwards of
Georgia stated that on Saturday night a
lobbyist for the French spoliation claims
had entered the Speakers lobby and had
come to the very door of the chamber in
an effort to pass some documents to Mr..
Parsons, arose today as a question of
privilege to state his side of the matter.
He declared that he did not know the lob
byist in question and never had had any
communication with him.
Explanation by Mr.. Parsons.
Mr.. Parsons said that an employee of
the House had twice tried to hand him
some pamphlets, but he had refused to ac-
cept them, and had resented their being
sent to him.
Mr.. Edwards said he had not wished to
reflect on Mr.. Parsons and he did not
believe he had any knowledge of the
attempts OF the lobbyist to communicate
with him. Mr.. Edwards said he had
called the matter to the attention of the
House because he believed lobbyists
should not only be excluded from the
Speakers lobby. but from the galleries
Of the House as well.
