BILL CALLS FOR CHANGES
Measure Adopted by House Provides
Rearrangement of Patent Of
flee Examiners.

The House today passed the Morrison
bill providing for a Encouragement OF
the examining force in the patent Of
fce. something which has been urgently
advocated By the commissioner OF pat
ents for several months past.
Before the vote was taken Repre-
sentative Mann of Illinois took the
floor and said;
This bill will make some promo
tons, but the patent once Is perhaps
not so expensive as II should be II
more than pays for itself The patent
business, however. really warrants an
increase in the force"
The bill rearranges the various grades
Of examiners so that some Of the lowest
paid grades are decreased in number and
the higher grades are increased so that
there will be etghty-six OF each Of tho
four grades, The bill also provides for
flve examiners in-chief instead of three

House Resolution Aims to Dis
close Interests Back of
Opposition.
SENATOR MARTIN IS NOT
AN OPPONENT OF PROJECT
Unable to See Any Valid Objection,
He Says. to the Location
as Selected.

An investigation into the causes fol-
the present agitation in regard to the
proposed central heating plant was
asked for today by Representative
Crosser of Ohio. who introduced a reso-
luton to empower a subcommittee OF
the House District committee to make
the investigation. When asked why he
introduced this resolution Representa-
tive Crosser said:
L think the Potomac Electric Light
and Power Comany is largely RESPONSE
BILE for the protests which are being
made by the American Institute of
Architects. In order to make myself
sure and 10 settle the question. / have
introduced a resolution and am pre-
pared TO back 1t up.
Provisions of Resolution.
The first two paragraphs of the Cros-
ser resolution outline the details of
the appropriation for the central heat
ing plant.
The remainder of the resolution de-
ciares:
active efforts are being made. for
motives and reasons not fully disclosed.
10 prevent the construction of the said
plant, and misrepresentation of the most
fragrant character are being published TO
ing the power plant
Therefore. subcommittee of the
House District committee is hereby
authorized and directed to make an
immediate and thorough investigation
into the causes and reasons back of
and inspiring the efforts to prevent the
carrying out and execution OF the VIII
of Congress in the construction OF the
said plant and to ascertain what per-
sons, organizations or corporations are
therefor whether
person. firm or corporation will be
benefited by the postponement of the
construction of this plant or the repeal
Of the Legislation authorizing its con-
struction.
Senator Martin for Plant.
IT sse no objection to the erection of
ing plant for the government on the
site selected at the foot of 14th street."
said Senator Martin of Virginia to-
day. Senator Martin is chairman of
the Senate appropriations committee
and also chairman of the conference
committee which now has before it the
Senate placed the Newlands amendment
prohibiting the construction of the
central plant until the fine arts COM
mission and the President had given
their approval of the plan
Il have visited the SITE" continued
Senator Martin, land to my mind there
are no valid reasons why the construc-
ton should not go on. OF course, l look
at the matter from the view point of a
layman. but I do not see how the cree
ton Of the power plant will injure the
appearance OF the city. AS a matter of
fact. by The erection of this plant the
number Of smokestacks which now belch
forth much smoke viii be done away
with.
II do not say that this particular
site should have been selected but
now that 1t has been, 1 do not see any
reasons for Directing to the plan" d
Senator Martins view of the matter
will probably have much to do with
the hnal decision of the conference
committee and of Congress.
