Appropriation for
Engraving Bureau

Senator Warren brought up in the
Senate today the bill amending the
sundry civil measure so as to add
$15O,000 to the appropriation for the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
The Senate concurred in the House
amendments and the bill was agreed
to. This action makes 1t possible to
go ahead and complete the new build
ing for the bureau and to accommo-
date the 1000 employees who are now
housed in undesirable quarters.
The building, as explained by Chair
man Warren Of the Appropriations
Committee, has been delayed because
the appropriation measures, which have
allowed 81, 10000 for the building and
site, were not adequate to complete II
and to carry out the requirements for
ventilation.
Senator Warren said the conditions
BOW are intolerable at the bureau, and
She new building is needed badly. It is
necessary to proceed without delay
The Treasury Department wanted to
complete the building with facings of
granite or marble. but the House de-
Cided to have it finished with limestone,
and under the circumstances Senator
Warren thought this should be done.
Granite or marble would have cost
about s400,O0O more, while limestone
would cost onlv s150000.
Senator Warren made al urgent plea
for putting the 1900 employees in COM
modious quarters
Senator Hepburn did not refuse con-
currence in the House amendments, but
he objected strongly 10 the policy of
putting up cheap Government buildings.
He thought limestone Objectionable, and
that thereby the building would be an
"eyesore"

DEMOCRATS SHUT
OFF AMENDMENTS
TO COTTON BILL
Special Rule Stirs Cries of
Gag" From the Re-
publicans.

With the old-time cries Of gag rule
echoing through the chamber, the
House this afternoon took up, under a
special resolution, the cotton bill, which
Ii to be passed without amendment alter
four hours of general debate. With the
bill out of the way there Is little to pre-
vent adjournment sine die tomorrow
afternoon at 8 o'clock.
Everybody is anxious to get away,
and the restless members all favored
prompt action on the cotton bill, but
the special rule brought In after a hur-
ried meeting of the committee afforded
the Republicans a farewell opportunity
to lambast the gag"
Representative Underwood, majority
floor leader, first asked unanimous con-
sent that the House should pass the
cotton bill after four hours debate and
that the bill and Senate amendments
should be voted upon en- bloc.
Representative Anderson. Minnesota
insurgent, said he wanted a separate
vote on amendments. He objected to
unanimous consent.
II will say to the gentleman that the
resolution will pass anyway" said Mr.,
Underwood. Il was merely attempting
to expedite matters and to avoid the
necessity of sending the resolution 10
the Rules Committee"
oh, know You have the votes, but
object" said Anderson.
Within less than a minute Chairman
Henry had beckoned for the members ot
the Rules Committee, and they retire
to the rear OF the hall, where the i'm
promptu meeting was held. After q
little ad interim business by the House,
the committee members solemnly filed
down the aisle and reported the special
rule.
Representatives Madison and Lenroot
minority members of the Rules Com
mittee, arose and denounced the rules
as more drastic and infamous than any
that had aided to Jam bills through
prior Congresses. II was worse, said
Mr.. Madison, than the famous Republi-
can rule by which the Payne-Aldrich
bill was railroaded through the House.
The special rule was adopted by a
vote of 143 to 107 and the House began
the four-hour grind of debate. The cot
ton bill, Just as II came from the
Senate, is expected to pass the House
late today and will go to the Presi-
dent tomorrow. His veto Is expected
and the House will hardly await the
veto message.
In opening the debate Representative
Underwood accused the Republican side
OF not playing fair regarding the spe-
clal rule. Mr.. Underwood said that he
had had an agreement with Minority
Leader Mann and Representative Pa
that the bill would be taken up under
such a resolution and he relied on their
agreement.

UTILITIES BODY FOR
ALASKA, HIS PLAN
La Toilette in Senate Speech, Urges Development of
Resources Under Direct Government
Control

Immediate development of the vast
mineral resources of Alaska through
Government ownership Of all railroads
and public utilities. wharves, docks,
etc, and the actual mining of Alaskan
coal by the Government, all to be ad-
ministered through a board OF public
works for the benefit Of the people, was
the broad plan outlined in a speech in
the Senate today by Senator La Fol-
lette.
Every day makes 1t more evident
that the American people are waging
losing fight In Alaska" the Wiscon-
sin progressive asserted. "On the one
hand are the 5000 pioneers who are
rtsking their lives and fortunes in the
exploration and prospecting of its un-
discovered resources. On the othe-
hand, are the millions Of American peo-
pie to whom this great storehouse OF
natural resources belongs. Between them
is the enormous power OF the greatest
concentration Of capital that the world
has ever known.
Whatever evidence or lack of evidence
there may be as TO the present inten-
tions and maneuvers of corporate power
in Alaska, our experience with the same
monopoly under these same conditions
Is inevitable.
Logical Result of Monopoly.
Anyone must see that the founda-
tions are being laid in Wall street for
the upbuilding of a monopoly in Alaska
equal to that which controls the an
thracite coal fields of Pennsylvania.
The key to the whole situation is the
control Of the means OF transportation.
The tremendous power OF freight dis
ordinations first showed itself in the
Pennsylvania anthracite fields forty
years ago, when it was employed to
force the sale of 95 per cent of all the
individual owned coal lands to railroads
owning and operating the only lines
Over which the coal could be trans
ported.
"ThesS coal roads Disseminated IN
rates refused cars to shippers, and
harassed and opposed individual owners
until they were compelled to sell upon
such terms as the railroads offered. A
subservIent legislature nullified consti-
tutional prohibitions by passing laws
which prevented the State getting title
to these lands, and this same pawer
was used TO defeat the struggle Of
labor, organized against oppression, TO
obtain fair wages"
when we have before us the history
of this anthracite struggle now con-
summated in the complete control of
J. Pierpont Morgan against the whole
American people. can We expect any
different result, II we permit the Nor
Alaska? The power will lie in their
control of the docks, wharves, noun
tain passes, and the limited outlet to
the markets.

Boy Murderer's Offer to
Plead Guilty Refused

NEW YORK, Aug. n.-An offer made
during the trial to plead guilty to mur-
der in the second degree, punishable by
life Imprisonment, made on behalf OF
Paul Geidel. the seventeen-year-old
Hartford, Conn, bellboy. accused of the
murder of William H. Jackson, an aged
brokers' cashier, was refused today by
District Attorney Whitman.
When the offer was made Geidel was
IN a pitiable state from fear. He had
cried almost continuously and his coun-
sci, after an appeal to the court, Sc
cured permission for his mother to sit
beside him. She held his hand tightly,
but the boy wept constantly and showed
plainly that he was utterly terror
stricken.
The Washington times., 1911-08-21

'If a private corporation now own
ed the coal fields of Alaska what
would be the first steps undertaken
by the management Of such corpor-
alton in their development? Would
the management look to some other
corporation to build railroads con-
Meeting such coal fields with the sea,
while having ample capital Of its own
to build such railroads? The very
suggestion shows the absurdity Of II.
"A management that would pursue
moval by the stockholders upon the
ground Of graft or incompetency. But
proper management Of such a cor
poration would at once proceed to
construct railroads to the coal fields,
and II there were any existing lines,
they would at once secure control OF
them through purchase. Fortunate
ly, private corporations own but a
very small portion Of the coal fields
Of Alaska. Their ownership still
States. and under our form Of govern.
ment and control are vested by the
people in the Congress and the Presi-
dent Of the United States. In con-
stderation of this question, we ought
to regard ourselves as having ex-
ers, the people. in the management of
these resources, as a board of di-
rectors would have to the stockhold-
ers, were the resources under private
ownership.
1T then follows that our first duty to
the owners Of these magnificent coal
fields and other deposits of mineral
wealth Is to provide for their proper de-
Velopment, and, as in the case Of a pri-
yate corporation, so in the case OF public
ownership, the first step to be under
taken should be the creation of proper
transportation facilities whereby a mar
ket may be afforded for the resources.
The Government should own and build
these transportation facilities for the
same reason that private corporation
II owning the resources, would build and
own them
The .wharves. docks, railroads, and
terminals IN Alaska should at once be
acquired by the Government for the
same business reasons that would move
private corporation to acquire them
II II owned the coal fields.
THE Government should own an1
operate at least one great coal mine, to
supply its naval and military reeds and
to sell the surplus at a reasonable profit
as a check against extortion by private
corporations developing mines
THE sensible and practical thing 10
do Is to create a board Of public works
for Alaska. similar to the Isthmian
Canal Commission. This board should
railroad from Controller Bay to the coal
fields, but should now acquire all Of the
railroads in Alaska and settle at once
the policy Of Government ownership. 1t
should similarly provide for the develop
ment of other public utilities, such as
operate and develop the wharves, docks.
and steamship lines. II necessary, to de-
liver the products Of Alaska 10 the Pa
