Vice President 0verrules Point
of Order Made by Chair
man Smith.
LIBERAL TREATMENT
FOR DISTRICT is URGED
Senators Generally Of Opinion That
House Has Been Niggardly To-
ward the National Capital.

The Works amendment to the
District appropriation bill, abol-
ishing the present form of goveSn-
ment in the District of Columbia,
providing that the United States
shall pay all of the expenses Of
the District and that present Dis
trict taxes shall be paid directly
into the Treasury of the United
States, was upheld in the Senate
today by Vice President Marshall,
who overruled a point of order
made against the Works amend
ment by Senator Smith of Mary
land.
Vice President Marshall cited many
legal and constitutional points, but
at the same time said there probably
would be an appeal from the chair.
The main point of Vice President
Marshall's ruling was that the Dis
t,ict of Columbia is not municipal
corporation, but is an agency of Con-
Sress pure and simple.
Gallinger Proposes a Vote.
Instead of an appeal from the chair,
Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire
proposed that a direct vote on the
Works amendment be taken. and fol-
lowing this suggestion debate upon
that phase of that situation was begun.
ThatNthe House bill providing for the
District of Columbia is "indefensible,"
was the statement made by Senator
Works of California, addressing the
Senate today in support of his plan to
have the 'half-and-half' system done
away with and to have the federal gov
ernment pay all the expenses of the
District.
Other senator's. including Seniors
Gallinger and Dillingham;, chimed in
with the view that the House had been
niggardly in it's treatment of the Dis
trict.
Evening star., 1916-07-28
Are Opposed to New Legislation.

1t became evident that the opponents
Z the House rider would demand that
ne haif-and-half plan be retained un-
ii some adequate legislation amend
.;g the organic act of 1878 should be
framed and passed upon by Congress.
An appropriation bill, they contended.
as no place in which to make so vital
and radical change of the organic
act of the District.
Every effort will be made to pass the
District bill before adjournment to-
night But large lumber of senators
re planning to address the Senate on
he half-and-half plan, and also on the
question of the location of the new
municipal hospital, and it may require
all day tomorrow to complete consider
alton of the measure.
Evening star., 1916-07-28
Says Taxes Are Too High.

Senator Works also insisted that the
people of the District today are taxed
as much as are tie people of other
cities in this country of a similar size.
He pointed out that a joint committee
of Congress investigating this ques-
tion had SO found.
The California senator, while de-
sirous of doing away with the half
and-half plan, believes that the gov
ernment should pay more than half
the expenses of the District.
Opponents of the House rider abol-
ishing the half-and- half plan replied
to Senator Works that the opponents
of the half-and-half plan in the House
took just the other position-that the
District should be made to pay as much
IS possible and the federal government
hould pay as little possible Of the
expenses of the District.

STORY OF a YOUNG GIRL CAUGHT
IN 4 STORM.

The sky was black. the clouds hung
low. and the wind blew with force
that almost took the young girl off
her horse.
She was trying to reach her home on
the top Of the mountain before tho on
coming storm reached her. The noun
tain was very high. and she was not
half way to the top when the thunder
crashed louder. the lightning flashed
brighter and the wind almost took her
breath away. 1t was plain that she
would never reach the top before the
storm overlook her
Once more she looked up at the dark
sky. The storm was very near. II was
80 dark that she could scarcely see.
She knew that IL the horse fell 1t
would mean that both would fall to
the bottom OF the mountain aud be
killed instantly.
Then she remembered an old cabin
In which she had played when 4 child.
1t was only little distance from where
she WAS, and she urged the horse on.
reached the cabin. put her horse In the
old stable, and went into the cabin
and closed the door just as the rain
began falling In torrents, and the
thunder shook the cabin. She shud-
dered violently. She knew that her
father and mother were worrying about
her. She could picture them going to
the window and casting anxious
chances down the mountain side. FL
nally she went to the small window
of the cabin and looked out.
Suddenly she heard a horse comm &
slowly but steadily down the noun
tain. The rider had ilashliEht In his
hand. She could see the light, al
though it was too dark for her TO see
the man.
Suddenly there was a binding fash.
She felt almost stunned and fell to
the foor. She was brought TO her
senses by sound OF knocking at the
cabin door. (To be continued)
