FOUR MILLION DOLLAR
 BRIDGE OVER POTOMAC

Washington. Sept. 2.--Plans for $4,000,000 bridge that would link the capital with Virginia it was announc- ed today are being considered by the House committee on commerce. The difficulty facing the committee at present is said to be the selection of the site for the Virginia terminus of the structure It is proposed to make the bridge structure that will stand for centuries and will admit of the passage of such shipping as uses the upper Potomac river. Under the ten tative plans, the bridge would have so feet of clearance from the rivers sur face, thus doing away with the neces sity of draw. The plans arc being worked out by a subcommittee and a report is expected in the immediate future.

Tariff Debate Is
 Drawing To Close
Final Vote on the Measure Will Soon Be Taken In United States
 Senate.

Washington, September 3.-The close of the tariff debate is drawing near, and the final vote on the meas ure will soon be taken in the Senate. The alignment of the final vote can be forecasted with certainty. The Democrats, without exception beyond the two senators from Louisiana, will vote for the measure, although there are many items in the bill which some of the Democrats will have hard time explaining to their constituents.
 The Republicans on the other hand, both progressive and regular will vote solidly against the bill. The single Progressive in the Senate, PoindeXter, of Washington, also will vote against the bill.
 The vote therefore will stand, if cast in full. AS to 47 in favor of the bill. One seat in the Senate is vac ant, that formerly occupied by the late Senator Johnston, of Alabama, whose successor Henry D. Clayton, was appointed by Gov. O'Neal but has not been seated by the Senate. His credentials have been referred to the Senate committee on privileges and
