FOR LAND GRANT REPEAL
View of Senate Committee Re-
garding Anacostia Deed
to Sidney Bieber.

Another chapter has been added to
that now-famous grant of lands along
the Anacostia river to Sidney Bieber by
the recommendation of the Senate COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds
that the present law making one Of the
biggest grants to Mr.. Bieber be repealed.
The committee agrees with the officials
of the War Department. whose Views
were made public several days ago, that
the appropriations for the Improvement
of the Anacostia river make necessary
the land along the banks. and that such
of that land as has been granted to Mr..
Bieber should be retained by the repeal
Of the law making the grant
Provisions of Law.
The law which it is proposed to repeal
directed the Secretary OF War to convey
to the purchaser from the government Of
certain squares Of land in the District,
Mr. Bieber, all Of the interest Of the
United States in land lying south Of the
squares and between them and the chan
mel of the Anacostia river, upon the pay
ment of such sum as should be de-
termined to be right and proper.
A commission determined that the land
TO be so decided to Mr.. Bieber was worth
about $21, 600. Mr.. Bieber thought this
price too large and the money has never
been paid. But as the law still stands on
the statute books. the payment Of the
money would Immediately take the land
away from the United States. It fs to
prevent that. just when the land is need
ed by the United States in connection
with the improvement Of the river. that
the repeal is recommended.

CHOICE Of j. S. SENATORS
BY VOTE OF THE PEOPLE
House Adopts Resolution Pre-
viousIy Approved by Senate
Changing Constitution.

Only thirty-nine representatives voted
yesterday against the joint resolution
providing for an amendment to the Con-
stitution to permit the election Of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people. The opposition to the amendment
came chiefly from the southern demo-
Gratis. but following debate on the floor
of the House, lasting several hours and
at times quite bitter. the vote showed 81
members in the Affirmative. Conspicuous
upon the affirmative side was Oscar Cn-
derwood. who ran the gantlet of criti-
cism from several OF his southern coI-
leagues for casting his vote against ther
views.
Having passed the Senate previously
the proposed amendment will now 60 10
the President, and after that ii will have
to be ratified by three-fourths of the
states.
Signal Of War.
Representative Rucker of Missouri
brought up the amendment shortly after
noon yesterday, and Representative Bart
lett OF Georgia Immediately signified his
intention of leading a fight on 1t.
He was followed by the Georgia, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana delegations, all
opposing the passage of the Senate
amendment because tney DeueVcQ lC
would give the federal government too
great q control at senatorial elections.
Mr.. Bartlett proposed to soften the Sem
ate amendment by a further amendment
which provided that Congress should not
have the power TO rule upon the qualifica-
lions of electors in the various states,
nor to authorize the appointment Of SUI
pervisors OF elections and other election
officers nor to authorize the use of the
United States marshals or United States
troops at the polls during elections.
Racial Issue Raised.
The democrats who stood with Repre-
sentative Bartlett based their contention
on racial issues. Bartletts amendment
was lost by a vote OF 1S9 to 50. and on
the vote to adopt the original Senate
resolution to change the Constitution
fifty democrats deserted, leaving but
thirty-nine in opposition.
