REVISION Of PLANS
FOR MARKET BUILDING
Proposed Increase in Facilities for
Handling Products at Foot
Of 18th Street.

Anticipating an extensive development
Of the municipal fish market, foot Of
lIth street, the District Commissioners
have ordered a revision of the plans for
the proposed new market building which
practically will double the number of re-
tail stalls to be available for leasing
This will necessitate their asking Con-
gress for a larger appropriation for the
structure than the original plans call for.
The enlargement of this institution Is
in line with the efforts Of the Commis-
sioners and John s. Sherman. superin-
tendent OF weights, measures and mar
kets. to bring about cheaper food prices
in the District.
Hope to Reduce Living Cost.
The District officials are OF the decided
they can do at the present time to check
pean war. but they believe that their
plans for the future augur well for re-
duction in the high cost of living.
The estimates last year contained an
item Of sl35.OOO for a new municipal mar
ket building 1t failed to carry. but Con-
gress has made available $4,000 for new
market wharves. This. 1t Is believed,
will be followed by an APPROPRIATION next
session for building.
The revised plans for the structure call
for the establishment of a refregerating
system which will make possible the stor-
age Of fish in great quantities. 1t Is be-
lieved that this will offset shortages in
the fish supply and lead to a considerable
reduction in prices.
Garden Produce Considered.
The plans also provide facilities for
the handling OF garden produce. this
being a feature that the District authori-
ties will endeavor to develop.
In this connection supt. Sherman is Of
the opinion that the building Of a new
Aaueduct bridge. with a terminus at 34th
street and the establishment Of a trolley
freight service between the hours Of
midnight and am. would lead to a big
Improvement in the supply, quality and
prices of garden produce brought to
Washington from Virginia points.
lie said today that the Georgetown
market at Potomac and NJ streets might
be converted into a big produce receiv-
ing station. should 1t be decided to build
a new bridge with a 34th street terminus
instead OF the present one at 36th and NJ

House Committee Acts
Promptly for Repeal
of Tolls Exemption

Prompt response to the Presidents ap-
peal on Panama toll repeal was render
ed by the House committee on interstate
commerce this morning After a short
session and brief discussion the COM
mittee. by a vote of IA to 3, ordered a
favorable report on the Sims bill to re-
peal the Panama canal tolls exemption.
Those voting in the negative were
Doremus O'Shaughnessy and knowland.
J.afferty. il he had been present would
have voted in the negative, and Goehke,
Cullop and Martin would have voted in
the affirmative if they had been present.
The roll call stood: Yeas. Sims, Coving-
ton, Talcott, Stevens, D. B.; Stevens.
Decker Stevens. F. c. Esch, Hamilton,
willis. .Adamson. Nays. Dormeus,
O'Saughnessy and Knowland.
Bill Right to the Point.
The bill as reported by the commit
tee is brief and to the point. 1t SIM
ply provides that the sentence in the
Panama canal act reading: mo tolls
shall be levied upon vessels engaged in
the coastwise trade of the United
States" shall be repealed. Members
who voted against it pointed out that
another provision relating to minimum
tolls also IHuSl Ue Tcpcdl0u OT Tic
whole question still will be open and
the United States may. in it's discre-
ton. allow American vessels free use
of the canal.
Chairman Adamson Immediately be-
gan work upon a report to the House
and declared he would press the repeal
Just as rapidly as possible. The COM
mittee also voted to ask for a special
rule to expedite the repeal. With three
days allowed for the minority report,
it is probable no effort will be made to
take up the bill in the House before
Thursday.
At the White House there was every
evidence that the administration was
pushing for action.
Within an hour after the committee had
voted on the report Representative Adam
son had filed a report of thirteen printed
pages, urging the passage of the repeal
bill The committee. which provided for
uniform. tolls in the canal act as original
ly reported. reiterated its position In to-

PROBABLY A RARE FIND.
Old Painting Discovered Which Will
Be Judged by Experts.

PARIS, March Getty Councillor Adrien
Mithouard. while inspecting a storehouse
where old pictures and bric-a-brac from
churches and public buildings were kept,
today found dusty canvas which he de-
clared was by Tintoreto. The staff of the
storehouse was skeptical, but, neverthe-
less, NJ. Nlithouard. after having cleaned
the dirt from the painting, insisted that it
was the famous Alteration of the Shep-
herds,' which, according to tradition.
once hung in the old church at Aateuil.
The picture will be submitted to experts
