DONOVAN LEADS
 FILIBUSTER ON
 HARBOR REPORT
0speeial .to The Farmer)

washington, Jan Representa- tive Donovan. spoke about forty times Saturd day, leading a small coterie in a filibuster against the Rivers and Harbors appropriation bill on the ground that the members of the committee had used about all of the approximations for projects that were not as needed as some that were. Ignored by the committees.
 He called attention to the fact that there are 30 appropriations in the bill for Florida alone and this is the home state of Chairman Spark man of the committee.
 Mir. Donovan asked MT. Spark1nan d the report Of 4ne last census did not show that FIorida was the 45th state in point of commerce, and MT. Spark man answered fby saying that it was 18th or 18th in point of tonnage.
 Mir. Donovan said: There IS one thing sure, that Florida has several times as many fingers in the Treasury of the United States as Connecticut. There is no doubt about that. But IT he wants to quote from the census, let him tell US the page and line on Wnlcn he finds it. F ask the question or 1he gentleman. He assumes so much lzn1owIedxe, and Of course. if he has so not make the assertion. It was inter rogatory on my part. The gentleman can state truly. and without fear of contradiction, that when dt comes to putting fingers in the Treasury, FIor- ida has got Connecticut skinned in ev- cry way.
 TT suggest, MT. Chairman, if I am allowed, that nothing is so pleasing as the applause of the committee when one or the members has some thing to say IApplause.) The com 1l1ttee is in trouble on account of its system of doing business There IS Iiar51v a. member of this House who can vote on a single item of this bill inteI1igently2 am having trouble to get information. I go to the commit tee, go to the clerk, and it Is not given to me. Now the gentleman MT. Sparkman1 comes in here and he is in a serious disturbance of mind be- cause a query is propounded.
 Thus the doughty member from Connecticut kept hammering away at the report Of the committees and the committee itself.

POL lCE INCREA
 TO BE PRE- ED
 HROUGH COUNCIL
Because Commissioners Can't Agree, None Will
 Get Place

When the common council meets tonight steps will be taken to re- scind t11el order passed year ago adding lieutenant and ten more patrolmen to the police department. A resolution to this effect will be in troduced by Alderman MacF.ayden and will receive the support Of the Republican majority in the council and possibly of some Democrats.
 The Republicans give the reason fo1. this change of front to the fact that the Supreme Court decision which keeps the city separated into two tax districts, will reduce the rev. enue about $70,o00 and there will not be enough money to pay the police- men The board of apportfonment was always opposed to this increase. However wiseacre politicians have maintained that if the council pro- vfded for the increase the apportIon- ment board would have to provide the money.
 The increass in the police force was desired by Dever H. Warner and George S. Hill the present head of the board but was opposed by John T. King, William B. Seeley and other leading Republican politicians. The sduabble over the police appointments fight and the action of the council to- night means distinct victory for King over Warner. If the police commissioners had been able to agree on who was to De 1teutenant in the department and who the new police men would be it is more than likely that all would be doing duty now. But the commissioners could not get to- gether on the men and outside pres sure was constantly being brought to bear in favor of one man or another. The result is that the Republican leaders have decided to rescind the former action of the council.
 Some day this week Senator Bart lett will present in the Senate a char ter amendment which will give the police and fire commissioners disere- tionary powers to retire men who have served in the department 20 years or more.
 If the amendment passes number of officers and members of the de- partment will then be retired and whatever appointments are necessary to fill the vacancies thus created, will come from some from those who i are now candidates. It is predicted there will be many surprises also and some of the men who have been a.s- sured of a. chance to don the blue uni- pelled to wait for other men who at this time are not even mentioned for appointment. Not one of the mem bers of the police commission would comment to-day on the prospect of the resembling of the action increasing the department.
