RAILROAD BILL
 MAY BE PASSED
Senator Pittman Wants Alaska Railroad Sill Made Emer-
 gency Legislation.

Washington, D. C., June IT, Senator Pittman, chairman n1 the Senate territorial committee will recommend the passage as an emergency measure or the committees bill to appropriate SlO,OOO,OOO for the building of railroads in Alaska recommended by the railroad commission which visited the territory last fall.
 The bill provides that the pres idenL shall select the route of the road. but it is believed he will be guided by the recommendations of the commission, which spent much time last summer studying the conditions in Alaska.
 It is believed here that the Senate will pass the bill proVld- ed the tariff bill is not reported out of the finance committee be- fore the end of the month, in which event the senators would spend the time waiting for the tariff measure discussing the Alaska railroad bill, but if the bill is not passed before the tar- if is up for discussion it has no chance of passage.
 The appropriation of sl0,000,- 900 is to be covered by bonds, which will be sold by the gov ernment.

In the short time that Mr.. Watson
was on his feet he proved himself an
orator Of unusual ability, with the fire
and enthusiasm that comes from deep
convictions. Mr.. Watson was intro
duced as The Republican Whip" but
when the Indiana statesman got up to
talk he said there was no longer any
use for a Republican Whip" in con-
gress as the republicans remaining
there were so few that their absence
was easily noted.
His topic was announced as ''Yester-
