sent at once to property owners along
the road, while a subcommittee will

CONFEREES REMAIN

District Legislation Again Held
Up Over Farley on Keller
Allowance.

The House and Senate conferees are
today as strongly deadlocked as ever on
the District bill. following a session yes
terday at which they again failed to
reach an agreement The item to al
low the claim of Thomas W. Keller, as
sistant doorkeeper OF the Senate, re-
mains the bone Of contention.
For reasons not visible to the naked
eye, some Of the Senator's on the SEN

ing disposition to recede on the Bor-
land paving amendment and allow it to
go through If the House will allow
$1,000 to Keller, who is the Demo-
cratic pair clerk.

permitting this matter " stand in the
way of final passage of the District
bill.
Senator Martin Is not on the con-
ference committee. Senator Gallinger,
who is one Of the conferees, refused to
give his sanction to such an arrange

Senators John Walter Smith and SEN

offered to compromise on a proposition
to allow the Keller condemnation pro-
ceeding to be reopened in the courts,
but this Is not satisfactory to Keller
friends in the Senate.

him damages for the cutting through

Jury, however. assessed him for i'm
