Report of Committee.

The report of the committee follows:
your committee, after very carefully
considering the important question re-
ferred to it, unanimously decided that
the particular form of suffrage which
the chamber should advocate for the
District is representation in the Senate
and the House of Representatives, and
in the electoral college; and being of
the opinion that this form of represen-
tation can be secured only through the
fundamentally of an amendment to
the Constitution. your committee
adopted the following recommendation
1--WE recommend that the Constitu-
tion of the United States be amended
SO that the District of Columbia shall
be considered a state in SO far as 1t
shall be entitled to representation in

Miss Wilson'S gowns of the past
season have been especially well Sc

One of her most becoming ball gowns
was white satin, both skirt and
waist draped, the distinctive feature
being the broad girdle of black velvet
ribbon with long sash ends. Sim
plicity still rules the gowning of Mrs.
Wilson and her daughters for the

LONDON MUSEUM
DEDICATED BY
KING AND QUEEN
tBy Associated Press.

tBy Associated Press.)
LONDON, May king George and
Queen Mary today opened a new wing
of the British museum which has
just been completed at cost of a
million dollars. 1t is the first part
of a large scheme of extension.
In 1895 the government bought a
considerable portion of the Duke of
Bedford's property around the mu-
scum for $1,25OOOO and large area
was cleared The legacy of $250,000
bequeathed by Vincent Stuckey Lean
for the enlargement of the museum
gave impetus to the present extern
sion. The bequest was intended par
ticularly for the extension of the
reading room and library, to which
the testator was frequent visitor.
The new building is in architectural
harmony with the old museum. Its
facade, which is flanked by two mass
i've towers, is of Portland stone, the
outer walls and pedestals of the fore
court being of Scotch granite. The
main entrance is surmounted by a
balcony, the parapet of which is
formed by the stone laid in June,
1907, by the late King Edward. The
doorway itself is formed Of marble
surrounded with granite, and is closed
by a bronze door, the upper panels OF
which are sculptured in relief.
The architectural composition OF
the building is severely simple, In
the interior the object in view has
been to deprive the extension Of
everything irrelevant to the mair
purpose, the primary idea being tt
make it mere background for the
exhibition of the nation $ treasures.
An important feature Of the new
wing is the staircase, which is th'
link between the old beilding and thu
new one. This is extrtmely simpl'
in design. Its walls are covere'
with marble. which has been selecte'
more for its texture as n backgroun,
for antique sculptures than for II
veining.
The building comprises a basemer
as well as sab-grouRd. ground. mel

PULLED PUMPS

ANOFLO0OED
THE NINE
SECOND CHAPTER IN THE FIGHT
FOR coNrRotAOF MANHAT.
TAN PROPERTY.

The White Caps mine Is rapidly
being flooded owing to the ieasers
having pulled their pumps Tuesday
night after few hours notice, which
was not sufficient for the company
to provide new set of pumps.
Since the annual meeting there has
been considerable friction between
the minority and majority factions
in the board of directors. The for
mer represented the leaser, who had
been operating the mine and owned
all the equipment on the surface, in
cluding hoist, pumps and mill. The
directors were asked to buy the i'm
provements, including a secret pro-
cess for treating White Cap ores. The
price asked was $25,000, which the
majority Of the board thought was
too much, and therefore refused to
entertain the proposition. In pulling
the pumps the leasers also took out
the pipes and hoist, Gripping the
mine and allowing 1t to fill with wa
ter. The removed parts were taken
to the Associated mill for storage.
In the meantime the White Caps
company proceeded to get busy and
in the course of few hours secured
a pump and all appurtenances, which
were shipped to Manhattan yesterday.
The owning company admits cer-
tain loss, which will entail the outlay
of good deal of money, but assert
they will be in better position than
before as soon as they get their
pumps and hoist working. This will
relieve the parent company from all
interference. 1t is probable that the
acrimonious controversy will find its
way into the courts, as it is limited
that a suit for damages will be filed
ON the ground that the leasers did
not adhere closely to the terms of
their lease in removing the machin-
cry.

AMERICAN EMIGRATION TOCANADA
SHOWED FALLING OFF LAST YEAR

dropped to 1864 The immigration
from the United States for Novem-
Der, 1912, was 1896, while in Novem-
ber. 1913, it was only 5,942.
This decrease from the United
States was due to a falling of in the
number of general laborers and me
chanics. There was, however, de
cided increase in the number of farm
ers, the value of the effects they
brought with them, and the total
amount of the actual cash which they
had in their possession II is stated
on the authority of the immigration
commissioner at Winnipeg that the
358,859 immigrants who have crossed
from the United States to Canada
during the last three years have
brought with them. in cash and eff

the progress and development of Can

Americans, and especially American
farmers. being attracted to western
Canada by the fertile lands OF the
prairies and the opportunities offered
by the growing towns and cities.
While the American INVASION" as 1t
is sometimes called. is widely adver-
tised, the public rarely hears any
mention of the movement in the op-
posite direction-the emigration OF
Canadians to the United States. The
fact is, however, that in the
last fiscal year the number OF people
leaving Canada for the States was
larger than that which came to Can
ada from the republic. A booklet is
sued by the ministry of the interior
shows that in the year ending March
81, 1918, the immigration from the
United States totaled $4,000, while
the United States immigration com
at Montreal reports that In
the year ending June 30, 1913. the
number of persons leaving Canada to

CONVENTION.

tBy Associated FresB.)
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE work
of the National Association for the
Prevention of tuberculosis, which
was begun just ten years ago, was
reviewed at the opening session of
the tenth annual meeting of the asso-
citation here today.
Dr. Charles j. Hatfield, of Phila-
delphia, one of the directors, reported
that after ten years work there are
over $500 anti-tuberculosis agencies
now well established as compared
with less than $50 such agencies in
1905.
The agencies today include $50
tuberculosis sanatoria and hospitals,
410 dispensaries, nearly 1900 anti
tuberculosis associations, and $50
open air schools and fresh air classes.
Besides, a considerable number of
boards of health and other agencies
are taking an active part in this
campaign.
while the National association
cannot lay claim to the organization
of each and every individual piece of
anti-tuberculosis work developed dur
ing these years" says the report, cit
is probably no exaggeratiOn to say
that at least, a great part of this
movement has been stimulated direct
ly by our association 1t is, there
fore, significant to you, who are mem
bers of the association, to note that
while the entire budget of the ma
tional office for this period has been
only 100000, federal state, and local
anti-tuberculosis agencies, both public
and private, have expended during
this same period practically $780,

will continue to keep up their assess

The company has sunk shaft to
depth of 500 feet, where they are
getting some rich stringers yielding
$29.9S per ton. Three Waugh drills
are in operation and the surface
equipment is as good as can be found

it includes first-class hoist, COM

stockholders are satisfied so long as
they know their money is going into
the ground. and they believe it will
be only short time before they find

The company has sunk from 295
to 46O feet in the course of the year
and is spending at the rate of $4,000
