MANY BIG MEASURES LOST.
Only Two on Administration Program
Got Through

Washington, March 4.-Of all the
legislation on the administration pro-
gram proper, only two measures, the
Revenue Bill and the masure giving
civil government to Porto Rico and
American citizenship to its inhabi-
tants, got through the legislative tan
gle at the close of the session One
of the most important enactments,
the immigration Bill, passed both
houses, despite the Presidents veto
Among the administration bills
which failed were the measures to
supplement the Adamson Law; the
the bill to enlarge the interstate Com
merce Commission; the Webb Bill TO
legalize joint foreign selling agencies
and conservation legislation, includ-
ing the general dam bills and water
power bills
Espionage Bill Failed
Bills which do not form part of the
original program. but which were
pressed unsuccessfully by Cabinet Of
ficers and administration leaders late
in the session, included amendments
to the Shipping Act to give the Presi-
dent power to commander ships; a
drastic Espionage Bill which passed
the Senate, but never was taken up
in the House, and amendments to the
Federal Reserve Act to increase re
serve bank gold holdings and de
crease member bank reserves.
Congress provided for the payment
of Is million dollars for the Danish
West Indies, but the Senate failed to
ratify, despite an urgent request by
the President, the treaty 20 pay Co
lumbia Is million dollars for the sep
araiton of Panama.
Made the Capital ''Dry."
Among important enactments
which were not specifically included
in the program were the bill abolish
ing saloons in the district of lColum-
bia and the rider on the Postoffice Ap-
preparation Bill making it crime to
! transport liquor in interstate com
merce into a prohibition state
Although the State Senate filibus-
! ter stopped the passage of appropria-
ton bills, carrying in all about 511
million dollars, Congress managed
to get through ten other supply meas
ures with total of nearly 1900 mil
lion dollars. Appropriation measures
that failed included the army Appro-
priation bill carrying 270 million dol
lars; the Sundry Civil Appropriation
Bill carrying 139 million dollars, the
| lars; the Rivers and Harbors, 80 mill
| lion dollars, and the Military Acad-
envy, S1,38O,00O.
Wilson Signs Last Bills.
President Wilson was at the Capt.
| toll in the closing hours of the session
signing bills as they were delivered to
his office. Members of the Cabinet and
Secretary Tumulty, with staff from
the White House, were on hand tC
assist.
Among the measures which the
President signed were the Naval anC
Agricultural Appropriation bills; z
resolution providing for $50 million
dollar bond issue to speed up warshiI
construction, a resolution postpon.
ing until July 1, the effectiveness OF
the ''bone dry" prohibition feature
of the Postoffice bill; a resolution ap
propriating million dollars to con
tinue work on the Alaskan Railroad
and more than a score of minor reso
lutions and bills.
The last measure signed provided
a pension for the widow of Maj. Gen
Frederick Funston.-K. G. Star.

US, that makes US dread what we do
not comprehend. We are still like

transform every stump, tuft of grass
