Preceding an attempt to strike from

Of the Interior building. Representa-
tive Cooper of Wisconsin late yester-
day afternoon severely criticised the
location Of the proposed building in the

18th and 18th streets northwest. The
ensuing discussion brought from sew
eral members a variety of comment in
the general proposition Of public
building sites in the District Of Column
bia, but the Cooper amendment was
voted down.
This is a most extraordinary loca-
tion for the Interior Department." said
Mr.. Cooper. TT is not at all in har-
mony with the plan for the improve
ment of tho city Of Washington and
utterly inappropriate as site for this
department.
Here is the department to which
members are constantly required to
go. and yet 1t Is proposed to place
TINS new building at about as inacces-
sible. fnconvenient a point as could
well be found. The location will be
good for the street car companies, but
very inconvenient for the members of
the Senate and House. Now, years ago
the government condemned and pur-
chased, and has ever since owned, the
square on which Polls Theater Is To-
Gated, and all the squares between that
square and the Mall. These squares
are unsurpassed as building sites.
Squares Bought for Buildings.
The government bought them for
the purpose. as the law expressly pro-
vided. Of erecting on them three build
ings-one for the Department of JUS
tice, one for the Department of the
Interior and one for the Department
of State. For years all Of these build
ings have been greatly needed, and to-
day all are greatly needed.
THE government is expending $500, 600
year, perhaps a little more, for
rentals for public buildings in the city
of Washington. Six hundred thousand
dollars year is per cent on
s2o.O0O,oO0. The government can bor-
row money at 8 per cent and less.
Plans were completed for the construc-
tion of these three department build
ings on those squares, at a total cost of
only $S.0OO,000: but none of these
buildings has been erected. and to my
amazement. and / think it must be to
the amazement of a large majority
of the membership of the House, we
hnd 1t now proposed that one of them
shall be constructed on site two OF
three blocks west of the building of
the State, War and Navy departments

ward to reach. and which was original

Shortly before midnight many sem
ators who had been attending dinners
and theater parties returned to the
chamber in evening dress to relieve
those who had been on guard during
the evening hours. The latter retired
to the improvised bedchambers in
committee rooms, leaving an order to
be called should any effort be made to
force the vote.
That there would be no chance for
vote during the night was conceded
by leaders of both sides. and 1t was
predicted that Il record-breaking con-
tinuous session had been begun. Some
would continue without interruption
throughout the week unless the bill
should be withdrawn. Others predicted
a motion to take up an appropriation
bill could be carried unless some prog
reSs was made on the pending measure
within the next forty-eight hours.
Shortly before midnight, Senator
Fletcher interrupted Senator Jones to sug-
gest the absence of a quorum. A roll
call showed fifty senators on the floor,
although but half a dozen had been pres
ent when it began. Senators came from
the cloakrooms rubbing sleep from their
eyes.
Senator Reed made the point of order
he yielded to Senator Fletcher, who made
point OF no quorum. Senator Ashurst,
in the chair, overruled the point, and on
an appeal the roll call showed but
twenty-seven senators present. At mid
night another quorum call started, and

Renting Profit Shared Alike.

Representative Fitzgerald. in charge
Of the sundry civil bill. called atten-
tion to the fact that the original au-
thorization for the new Department of
Interior building was contained in the
public building act of 1918. and that he
had opposed it. but now that the build
ing was authorized it had to be appro-
priated for. He said he had protested
to President Taft against the bill.
Mr.. Fitzgerald said that President
Taft, in reply to his protest, had said:
There are SO many things in the bill
of peculiar benefit to Washington that
/ cannot forego an opportunity to have
them authorized"
Mr.. Fitzgerald also said that the profit
in renting government buildings is
shared by the government as well as by
the real estate man, as the Treasury
has been able to escape paying out large
sums for large and monumental build
ings with a permanent annual charge.
Amendment Is Voted Down.
At the end of the discussion, Repre-
sentative Cooper offered an amendment
to strike the item for the Department
of the Interior from the sundry civil
bill, but 1t was voted down.
Representative Gillett Of Massachu-
sets offered an amendment to the sun
dry civil bill yesterday afternoon which
would have taken 100000 from the
bill. He proposed to strike out all OF
the public buildings items except those
