Island independence.

Representative Jones of Virginia,
chairman of the House insular commit
tee and for years a leader in the move
ment to give the Filipinos indie
pendence. talked for half an hour with
President Wilson today as to prospec-
tive Philippine legislation. Mr.. Jones
committee has agreed upon bill, but
has not presented it to the House and
will probably not do SO for some days.
Mr. Jones discussed the various phases
of the subject with the President. point
ing out, it is understood. some of the
weak points of the bill that has passed
the Senate.
The Virginian is still insistent. as he
always has been. that any legislation for
the freedom of the Filipinos shall fix a
definite date. and have no strings attached
to the time
1t is not likely he will oppose the Clarke
amendment in the Senate bill directing
that the President arrange for this indie

President might determine that the Fill

and the legislation would be worthless.
Mr.. Jones early efforts for Philippine
legislation fixed July 4, 1921. as the
date for freedom of the islands. but
later he yielded to President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan in adopting the
language used in the Baltimore con-
vention platform, providing for free

He himself. in his argument before
the committee. set forth that the plate
printers are opposing the transfer OF
funds on the theory that there would
be less money available for their
wages and consequently a curtallment
in their work.
The contrary is the fact. he eX-
planned IF no transfer is granted

ton out of which their wages are paid
IL is also not true. as claimed by them,
that | would have less money to eX-
pend out of the appropriation for plate
printing than was originally contem-
plated. for the reason that the amounts
asked to be transferred is more than
offset by the amounts already credited
to this appropriation for the furnish

items.

Ground Near Site Proposed
for Central Power Plant
Inspected by Conferees

As the result of protests against the
erection of 200-foot- high smokestacks
on the proposed central light. heat
and power plant near the Mall. four of
the conferees on the urgent deficiency
bill today took trip through the Mall
in Uncle Joe" Cannon's automobile to
look over the physical characteristics
of the ground near the proposed site
for the plant. The deficiency bill dis
cussions in conference have not yet
reached the Newlands amendment
which provides that the work on the
plant shall not proceed until the plans
for il have been approved by the COM
mission of fine arts. and proba bly, this
item will not be reached until tomor-
row. The conferees who made the trip
to inspect the site and its surroundings
desired to inform themselves in adj
vance of the situation.
Those who took the trip with the
former Speaker, who is on the con-
ference committee for the House, were
Senators Martin and Bryan and Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald, whose desk is
stacked high with Geographic protests
from members of the american Insti-
tute of Architects.
The House conferees are inclined to
stand out against the Newlands amend
ment. They feel that too much time
has elapsed and too much work on the
plant has progressed to make any radl-
cal change in the plans at this time.
