HOPE TO ADJOURN
CONGRESS- In AUGUST
Panama Canal Bill Is Now Chief
Obstacle to Going Home"
Day.

Adjournment of the sixty-second ses-
sion of Congress is now thought to be
possible somewhere between August 10
and August Is.
A large obstacle to early adjournment
was removed by the Senate yesterday.
when It agreed to vote on the tariff bills
pending. The agreement was reached
as the result Of the Democratic filibuster
to compel votes on the tariff measures,
or at least some of them.
An agreement was finally entered into
to vote On the wool bill next Thursday,
the excise bill Friday, and the sugar bill
Saturday. The discussion on each bill
will be limited and will probably extend
only to the calendar day on which the
vote is taken.
The House may send the cotton bill
over to the Senate as the result of the
agreement.
1t is believed that each OF the tarifi
measures, including the excise measure
will be beaten by the Senate.
One of the chief obstacles to- early
adjournment is the Panama canal bill
on which there will be a long discus.

PEACE OFFERINGS
TO CHAMP CLARK
MADE BY BRYAN
would Be Glad to See
Highest Sort of Happiness
Enter His Life"

LINCOLN, Neb., July 19.-William J.
Bryan in a Commoner editorial extends
the olive branch to Champ Clark, say
ing:
"All Democratic candidates for Con-
gress in the Ninth Missouri district
have withdrawn In order that Champ
Clark may have an uncontested field
This gracious act will meet with the
appreciation of men Of all parties. Un-
questionably Mr.. Clark met with great
disappointment at Baltimore. and po-
litical disappointments are often very
keen. They cut to the very quick the
unsuccessful candidate himself and they
press most heavily upon those nearest
and dearest to him.
But such things are to be classed
among the fortunes Of war. and men
of experience and judgment may sweep
them aside as altogether inconse-
quential. Surely Mr. Clark will find
consolation in the assurances Of affec-
tion that come from his old time neigh
bors and the graceful act of the am
bilious men Of his district who would
probably be glad of the opportunity to
serve a term or two in Congress-
"Mr. Bryan claims place among
those who are rejoiced by these incl
dents, and who would be glad to see
the highest sort OF happiness enter the
life of Champ Clark and the life Of
every one he loves.

BATH WITHOUT WATER
COSTING THOUSANDS

PHILADELPHIA, July 19-The city's
beautiful new public bathhouse at Ia
cony is completed and ready to be
turned over to the authorities, but it
cannot be used for a year because in
the construction of the building no pro-
vision was made for a water supply.
This little detail apparently did not
construction OF the bathhouse or into
the specifications governing it's con-
struction. 1t was not until the build
ing was almost completed that II was
discovered that the needed connections
had been overlooked.
The new bathhouse Is the most ex-
pensive of the many built by the city
and represents an outlay of $4,000. It
was intended to have 1t equipped with
the latest fittings and appliances, but
the failure to provide an intake or out
let for water will bar 1t as an example
of the last word in public baths.

HEAD OF RAILROAD
AT OLD HOMESTEAD
Erie's President Directs Great
System From Scenes Of Boy
hood Days In Wisconsin.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, July 19.-Fred
w. Underwood, president of the Erie
railroad, sat today In a quaint old arm
chair in the old homestead where he
was born in Wauwatosa, a suburb. In
front of him piles Of kilograms and let
ters Uttered the old red and white table
cover. Beside him a telegraph operator
licked off every word that Underwood
spoke while another operator in New
York copied. Thus the affairs OF a rail-
road system were directed today.
Underwood makes a pilgrimage of his
old home every year. His parents are
dead. but for two weeks out of every
fifty-two, the railroad president drifts
back through to the scenes of his boy
hood days In the old house which has
not been altered since the death OF hfs
mother and father.

WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU,
ALEXANDRIA. VA, JULY 10

After Saturday Of this week. Alexan-
dria viii be without any water commu-
nication with Washington for passeng-
ers or freight. other than by smaller
craft, for on that day the ferryboat,
Alexandria. in service between here and
the Capital, will be withdrawn. This
comes. It is said, after an unsuccessful
effort, lasting nearly eighteen months,
to put the venture on paying basis.
When the ferryboat. Lackawanna,
burned at the waters edge In washing
ton several years ago, this city was
placed at a marked disadvantage, and
merchants OF both cities were forced to
find other channels, while passengers
resorted to the electric railroad. Early
in the spring of last year, a number Of
citizens organized a company. and SUBJ
scribed heavily toward bonds to bring
about the resumption of the service.
The Alexandria was obtained, but the
patronage accorded 1t was far below
what It formerly was, resulting in in
creased tariffs for both freight and pas
sengers. The long interval between the
two ferries had gradually taken away
the custom.
Finally a contract was entered into
with the Firth-Sterling Steel Works, on
the opposite side Of the river. for the
transportation of its workmen to and
from Washington. This contract expires
next week, and was not renewed. 1t Is
said. owing to the fact that the Gies-
boro Point car line. running from Ana
costa, will soon be completed and the
employees will divert their patronage to
II.
Another reason given, Is the more
general use of the auto trucks, by
which Washington merchants bring
their goods down over the roads, instead
of on the ferry as heretofore.
Recently most Of the outstanding
bonds, whose par value was 500, have
been taken up from the Alexandria
holders at the prevailing rate of SIS.
and are now in possession of the Wash
ngton-Alexandria Ferry Co., whose
OFFICES are in Washington.
Representatives of the company here
are unwilling to discuss the matter, but

Similar To Ohio.
Maryland's situation In regard to elec-
tors is parallel to that of Ohio's recent
convention, In the matter of delegates
at large. The State went for Roosevelt
on popular primary vote, but the Taft
gangsters were able to control enough
of the delegates in the State convention,
which chose the delegates at large, to
give them to Taft. 1t required a liberal
distribution of patronage plums to put
1t over; but II went.
In the Maryland case, the Taft posi-
tion seems to be that 1t is better to
give the solid electoral vote to Wilson,
rather than to risk a division that might
give Taft three and Roosevelt five of
the votes. In other words, the Taft
people appear to assume that they have
no chance to reach a strength where
three votes would be of any use to
them; but they fear that Roosevelt may
get to such a point that FIVE votes
might make him President! So they
are willing to sacrifice Republican
chances In the State in order to prevent
this!
This action of the Taft forces viii
have the effect to settle, in favor of
Colonel Roosevelt's contention, the
muddle about whether to fuse with the

Gain Control In Iowa.
Colonel Roosevelt has been informed
that at the recent State convention in
Iowa. the progressives came back into
complete control of the party machin-
cry. The State committee is composed
of eleven men. one to each Congress
sional district. The progressives elected
ten of them, a larger proportion than
they ever held in the committee
1t Is expected that the pro-Roosevelt
nominees for electors-seven out of a
total of thirteen-will resign from the
ticket, in order to avoid the possible
charge that in supporting Roosevelt
they will be guilty of bad faith; then.
that the State committee will put them
They would thus go back on. under the
rule laid down by the State convention 8
resolution that support OF Taft is not
to be test of party regularity, and
would be free to vote for Roosevelt.
Whether this plan will meet the ap-
proval of Colonel Roosevelt. and pre-
vent the necessity for the nomination
of a complete ticket OF pro- Roosevelt
electors, Is not Yet known.
