PORK BARREL"
TO BE NAILED
No New Projects in Rivers and Harbors
Bill, Public Buildings Hopeless,
and Good Roads Side
trackad

Washington, Jan. 27.--The committed
on rivers and harbors yesterday voted
4 to include no new projects in its forth
coming bill, but to confine appropria
tions absolutely to projects already au'
thorized thus limiting the total to ap.
proximately S44,000,000.
Disposition of the administration to
shut down as well on the proposed pub
lie building bill and the good roads bill
has brought about situation which
threatens a big revolt in Congress.
With a campaign drawing near the
news that there may be no pork bar
rel of any sort to be distributed is not
at all pleasing to many members Of the
House and Senate.
Under the circumstances, an upheaval
is in prospect which will result in the
administration finding itself faced with
a condition wherein the preparedness
programme will be endangered by insist
ence Of members that If there is to be
no "'pork" there win be no large sums
voted for army and navy expansions.
As yet the situation has not taken
shape, but yesterday there was a lot OF
grumbling and muttering under the sur
face. The believers in large river and
harbor appropriations are sore. The
House has just passed the good roads
bill by an overwhelming vote. The
Democrats of the House were largely
united for good roads legislation.
Now, to have the word passed along
from the White House that this bill
ought to be halted in the Senate and the
river and harbor bill and public building
bill except as to continuing existing
projects sidetracked, displeases many
of the Democratic members, to say notn.
ing of those Republicans who want the
legislation.
As the session advances, this conflict
between the pork barrel bills and the
administration preparedness plans prom
se to become more and more acute.

largely a measure for construction OF

whereby the government can lease OF

taken for blockade against Germany
Critics of the governments policy and
the defenders thereof were equally in
sistent on the necessity of enforcing "a

they Joined issue on the best method of
enforcing this, a keen desire being shown
in some quarters to make the interior
ence with neutral commerce as light as
possible The demand was general, how
vention of foodstuffs and other condi-
tional contraband passing by neutral
countries into Germany.
The debate hinged on a motion intro
duced with the object of obtaining from
the government a full statement of the
facts and giving an opportunity to deal
with most of the aspects of the recent
complaints against the foreign office.
The motion follows;
"That this House, having noted the
volume of imports into neutral countries
bordering on enemy territory of goods
essential to the enemy for the prosecu-a
ton of the war, urges the gvernment to
enforce as effective blockade as pos
sible without interfering with the nor

In addition to these changes the Mayor
