WAR ON STEAMSHIP POOL" "
Humphrey Consults Department 0i
Justice On Drastic Bill.

Hum phrey COnsults Department Of
Justice On Drastic Bill.
The trust-busting end Of the Depart
ment Of Justice was yesterday called into
consultation by Representative Humph-
rey. author of the bill which proposes to
exclude the steamship companies in the
Atlantic steamship pool from ports of
this country. Mr.. Humphrey expects a
hot fight in Congress over this bill. He
wants it to be as nearly perfect as pos
sible: therefore, with Representatives
Alexander. of Missouri, and Swasey, of
Maine, members of the House Committee
on Merchant Marine and Fisheries Mr..
Humphrey consulted on details Of the bill
with William S. Kenyon. assistant to the
Attorney General, and Clark McKercher,
one of the assistants in the department
connected with the steamship pool case
The bill introduced on Saturday by Mr..
Humphrey prohibits the ships Of COM
panies in this pool from entering at
or clearing from any port of the United
States under penalty of 500 for each pas
senger and the forfeiture Of merchandise
SO brought by such ship into an American
port" 1t is considered one Of the most
drastic anti-corporation measures ever
put before Congress
1t was predicted to-day that before the
bill comes up in the House it will re-
ceive the attention Of Attorney General
Wickersham, and that it will have some

NO PACT Is MADE
In FISHERY DISPUTE
Canadian Officials Displeased
Over Statement.

Negotiations with Canada which have
been in progress at the State Department
were continued yesterday. The proposed
reciprocity convention was considered
and the Newfoundland fishery regula lions
discussed. No conclusions were reached.
The Canadian negotiators on the fishery
question are displeased over the Official
statement given out at the State Depart
ment announcing that a complete agree
ment had been reached. and that tho
Canadian and Newfoundland governments
would take steps to modify the fishery
regulations to meet the objections Of tho
American fishermen.
This statement was given to the press
after the departure Of Sir Edward Morris,
prime minister of Newfoundland, who left
here Thursday night for home. The only
point which has actually been agreed
upon is that the expert commission pro-
vided in the award Of The Hague tribu-
nal will not be convened, but that the
question Of the reasonableness Of the ex-
isting fishery regulations will be settled
by direct negotiations.
1t was said yesterday that fair progress
has been made in the reciprocity negotia-
tions. although it is likely that the ses-
sions will be continued until next week.
Another important feature Of the question
is the likelihood of opposition when the
agreement is sent to Congress.

Democratic Mem ben OF House THINK
Meeting nl-advised.
A motion will be made as soon as the
Democratic caucus Of members Of the
next House is called to order here on the
18th that it Immediately adjourn. This
move will be supported by number Of
Democrats, who agree with Martin w.
Littleton. of New York, that the caucus
of members of the new House at this
time is ill-advised.
Judge Richardson, Of Alabama. will put
the motion for adjournment Immediately
after the caucus is called together. Rep
resentative Page, Of North Carolina, and
other old members Of the House win
back up the motion to be made by Judge
Richardson. They expect support from
a considerable number of new members Of
the House.
One of the arguments to be made
against the caucus at this time Is that
number Of new Congressman living a
great distance from Washington will not
be present. and that 1t will be unjust to
them to frame any sort Of legislative
programme.

the same candle power as the open lamp

trical Engineer Allen in 1901, and an ex-

POSTAL BANK NEEDS ROOM.
Senate Passes Bill Authorizing
Renting of Quarters in This City.

A bill to authorize the board Of trus-
tees of the postal savings system to rent
quarters for a central Office in the city
of Washington passed the Senate yes
terday. The bill was introduced Janu-
AIRY ., by Senator Penrose. chairman of
the Committee on Post-offices and Post
Roads.
1t authorizes the board of trustees to
expend not to exceed $4,000 for the
rental of quarters for such an office.
When the bill was reached on the cal
endar for consideration il provoked con-
siderable discussion. 1t was suggested
that the Office be located in the Senate
office building. thereby saving to the gov
ernment the amount of rental.
The suggestion was strenuously OBJ
jected to by Senator Bailey. He stated
that if there was any spare room in the
Office building, and no doubt there was,
the Supreme Court and other depart
inents Of the government should be first
considered. A number of Senators par
ticipated in the discussion. but the bill
passed as presented.
