"H0ME, Sweet HOME
NOT Until AUGUST |
Senate Leaders Fear There Is No
Chance for Earlier Ad-
joumment.
WE'LL GO SLOW AND CAREFUL
DiGere.ee Of lGensry.

Senate leaders were predicting yester-
day that Congress would probably be in
session until July 20 or August I. They
admitted that the plan. set on foot Q
week ago at q White House conference.
to bring about an adjournment on July
10. had been practically abandoned.
II predict that we will adjourn some
time in the month of July. and that 10
the best I can say at this time" said
Leader Kern.
The Senator made no move yesterday
to fix a definite date for a final vote on
the canal tolls bill, and intimated that
he would not bring the matter up again
until all of the speeches for which notices
have been given In the Senate have been
uttered.
Mr. Kern denied a report that the
President had been insisting upon the
enactment Of the radium bill and other
conservation measures, In which Secre-
tary Lane has evinced such strong in
terest.
Senator Kern added the President had
simply said that he was writing at the
request OF Secretary Lane. to say that
he was not opposed to the bills and
would be glad II they could be passed,
but did not indicate a date before which
he would like to have them passed.
1T is idle to talk about passing the
tolls bill. then passing the trust legisla-
tion and going on home by July 10" said
Senator Bristow. of Kansas, yesterday.
Not even this proposed trade commits
mission bill can be passed by that time.
A bill to regulate trusts il one Of the
most important issues confronting the
country today, and no slipshod methods
in the drawing of the law will be tolerat-
ed.
'The House may pass such a bill at
the request of those higher up, but the
members, anxious as they are to get back
to their districts. would pass such q bill
trusting to the Senate to study 1t care
fully, and knock out the dangerous por-
tions.
That Is what was done in the cur
rency bill. If the bill. rushed through the
House, had been enacted 1t would have
been a crime

dents Views Are Opposed
to COMMISSIONER
CROSSER BILL HEARINGS
Witness Insists There h No Public De-
mand Here for Municipal Own
ership Of Railways.
cR0SSER BILL HEARINGS

President Wilson's position upon the
question Of government ownership and
regulation Of public utilities was read
into the record Of the hearings before
the House District Committee on the
Crosser municipal ownership bill yester-
day by Gen. George H. Harries, who ap-
peared for the American Electric Rail-
way Association Gen. Harries. formerly
vice president Of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company. is now vice
president of H. NJ. Byilesby & Co., Of
Chicago. operators Of public utilities in
20 cities and towps.
Opposed to connissioners.
President Wilson'S stand. which has
been said to have been In sympathy with
the District Commissioners as favoring
public ownership, as opposed to public
regulation through the utilities commits
sion, was shown to have been the re-
verse. Quoting from the Presidents
work. The State Gen. Harries read
the following declaration Of the author:
But the proposition that the govern
ment should control such dominating or
ganizations Of capital may by no means
be twisted to mean by any necessary
Implication that the government should
itself administer those instrumentalities
OF economic action. which cannot be used
except as monopolies.
Government regulation may In most
cases suffice. Indeed such are the diff
culties In the way of establishing and
maintaining careful business manage
ment on the part of the government that
control ought to be preferred to direct
administration in as many cases as pos
sible-in every case In which control
without administration can be made
effective"
Owing to a call Of the House. the hear
ing was again interrupted yesterday and
Gen. Harries was the only witness who
had opportunity to be heard. At the con-
ciusion of his testimony the committee
voted to continue next Tuesday morning,
when representatives of the National
Civic Federation, the American Electric
Light Association and others will be
heard. The committee yesterday had no
information that anyone. the District
or citizens Of Washing
ton, desired to be heard In favor Of the
bill.
This fact led Representative Reed. Of
New Hampshire. to suggest that the bill
be laid on the table, but he did not
make a formal motion and the continua-
ton Of the hearings was ordered SO that
all who wished to be heard might have
the opportunity. Representative Crosser.
author OF the bill, to take over the street
railways and own and operate them
objected to further hear
ngs II all the witnesses were to talk
against the bill, but Representative Reed |
pointed out that the committee had no |
means Of knowing the direction of any |
future testimony.
Gen. Harries insisted that there is no
public demand for the proposed legisla-
ton and gave II as his opinion that when |
he people Of Washington were aroused |
10 the real import Of the bill they Would |
be against it.
