BENNET ANSWERED
BY USE OF FIGURES
Assessed Value of klingle
Ford Valley Tract Shown.

An investigation of some of the threat
ened charges which Representative Ben
net and other members expect to hurl at
the Commissioners of the District when
the District appropriation bill comes up
in the House for assignment to confer
ence reveals the fact that some close
figures must be presented if Representa-
tive Bennet and his colleagues expect to
make their allegations hold.
Assuming the klingle Ford Valley
Park extension to be one of the District
projects, wherein Representative Foster,
of Illinois, intimated Thursday that the
proposed cost greatly exceeded the val
UatiOn according to the assessment fig
ureS the assessment on that tract was
scanned in a rough way at the District
offices yesterday. The District bill, fol-
lowing the recommendation of the Com
missiOners. apprOpriates $4,000 for the
purchase of the tract. A compilation of
the assessments on various parcels of
land which are to go into the improve
ment fiSCloses that taxes are paid on
a twc-third valuation of between S1jO,-
OO and $4,000
This leaves out of consideration any
improvements that may be on the land,
and (which must be purchased by the Dis
trict. The full valuation of the bare
property, therefore, according to this in
sDeCtiOn. puts it well above $3.50, 900, count
ing the present assessment as two-thirds
Of its value. 1t is likely that with the
addition of small parcels of land, impos-
sible to estimate without extreme care,
and the acquisition of such houses and
other improvements as there may be on
these pieces, the cost of the klingle ex-
tension will come within a few thousand
dollars of the estimate furnished by the
Commissioners and placed in the bill.

MANN'S STRATEGY
TRIPS DEMOCRATS
Blocks Efforts to Pass 0mni,
bus Claims Bill.

The Democrats of the House of Repre-
sentatives are a mighty sore set of men.
After having their efforts to pass the
omnibus claims bill blocked twelve hours
yesterday by a remarkable personal fill
buster by Representative Mann, of
Illinois, they secured control of the
House and were about to work their will,
when a unique parliamentary blunder
by Representative Underwood, of Ala
bama, who was leading their fight, threw
victory to the winds.
The House met at 10 o'clock yester-
day morning and adjourned at 9:S0
o'clock last night. During that time
the legislative machinery was absolutely
clogged and not a single item of bus-
ness was transacted.
In the middle of the afternoon the
Democrats began to concentrate their
efforts on an attempt to recess until to-
day. thus extending the legislative day of
Friday, upon which private claims are in
order, over to Saturday. so that the ON
nibus claims bill carrying $4,000 for
distribution in the South, might be
passed
BY motions of all sorts, by points of
order, by points of no quorum, and by
calls of the House. Mr.. Mann blocked
their game. Finally a quorum was Sc
cured, and Mr.. Mann, apparently drop
ping his filibuster, consented, under pres
sure-under great pressUre-to a recess
until II o'clock this morning.
The Democrats wildly applauded their
seeming victory. But they found out that
the recess until II o'clock to-day was no
recess at all, as the House meets at that
hour by an order adopted last week
Then their jubilation ceased. 1t may be
explained that a recess to be effective
must end prior to the regular hour fixed
for the beginning of a legislative day.

Senator Root a Feature.
The feature Of the last days session
was the speech Of Senator Root, who, as
Secretary Of State several years ago,
made a memorable trip through the coun-
tries of Latin America. Mr.. Root urged
the establishment of direct steamship
lines between the United States and Latin
America He said that cordial relations
must be maintained with other countries
of the world if the foreign trade of the
United States is to be increased. The
government, he added, could take no ac-
tive steps to compel the American man
ufacturers 10 avail themselves of for
eign trade opportunities which exist in
other countries.
"Our country cannot lead manufactur
ers and producers in the conquest of
Latin-American markets, like Germany.
Japan, and other foreign nations" said
Senator Root THE people do not con-
ceive of that as a function of our gov
ernment. and so far as our activities go
they are largely engaged in breaking up
organizati tions which do increase the in
dustrial efficiency OF the government
Is Not n Criticism.
Il do not want to be understood as
criticising that 1t is all right and i'm
Dortant to break them up when they
are monopolizing the means Of sub
sistence that should be spread through
out the great body of the people. But
we must recognize the fact that when
our government does enforce the law
a just law. a wise law-against our great
commercial organizations it reduces the
industrial efficiency of our country
Henry White, former ambassador to
France and chairman of the American
delegation to the fourth Pan-American
Conference held last summer In Buenos
Ayres. spoke in favor of reciprocity with
the countries of Latin America.

sort of animals are best fitted for the
purpose and adapted to climatic condi-
tons of the South. and how certain ami

can fauna can be guarded against i'm
portation to America.
II is understood that Maj. Burnham
will leave washington this morning for
New York, where he will embark on his
y.
three months.
Believe I'm the Plan.
oficials of the Agricultural Department
have expressed their belief in the plan,
and have reason to believe that Con-
sress. when 1t gets around to it, will
pass the bill authorizing the department
to import the animals for food purposes.
Mai Rurnham will make his report to
Secretary Wilson. who is said to favor
the plan and considers 1t, not only ad-
visable, but believes 1t practicable and
a probable means Of increasing the food
supply of the country immeasuabiy.
II is proposed to install these animals
ON the vast tracts and swamps owned
by the government In louisiana and
Mississippi, which are valueless for other
uses 1t is pointed out that cattle are

and then there will be only nine more

feared successful motion will be made
