CONFERENCE TOMORROW
ON LEGISLATIVE BILL
Conferees Expected to Yield to Sen
ate's Action in Killing Bor-
land 8-Hour Amendment.

The conferees on the legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial appropriation bill
are to meet tomorrow to consider that
measure. The Senate has struck from
the bill the Borland eight-hour amend
ment, and 1t is expected that the con-
ferees on the part of the House will
yield to this amendment, especially
since the House has already yielded to
the Senate amendment striking the
Borland eight-hour amendment from the
agriculture appropriation bill.
The question of how far the $500 in
crease to the government employees
shall be extended also is to be consid-
cred in conference. The Senate has
provided that it shall be given to all
those receiving up to and including
$500 a year. while the House stopped
at $4,000. The Senate also has put in a
provision that it shall not be given to
employees paid from lump sum appro-
priations in those government burea us
and agencies established since January
/, 1916.

From the Ph1ladelphia Press.
The final steps In clearing old York
road of its toll gate membranes was
taken recently and six toll gates be-
tween the city line and Hatboro will
hereafter cease to vex the users of this
important highway. Philadelphia abol-
ished all toll gates within her limits some
years ago. but these nuisances still con-
tinue to maintain state OF siege about
this city except on the Delaware river
front, where the ferries perform similar
part. The ferries will remain until the
Delaware is bridged, but the toll gates

"BONE DRY" REPORT
ON D. c. is EXPECTED
Senate Committee Believed to Be in
Favor Of Applying Reed
Provision.

The post office committee of the Sem
ate will take up for consideration the
Sheppard bill to make the District of
Columbia bone dry by making the
Reed provision of the post office law
apply to the capital. as soon as the
post office appropriation bill has been
disposed Of in the Senate. it was said
by a member of the committee last
night. The appropriation bill is now
on the calendar and probably will be
passed by the Senate during the COM
ing week.
While some of the committeeman are
known to be opposed to the Sheppard
bill, it is believed that a ma jority of
the committee is favorable to the legiS
iation proposed. A favorable report on
the bill is expected, therefore. The bill
was reported from a subcommittee and
placed on the calendar. only to be with
drawn the following day. when it was
discovered the subcommittee had no
power to report to the Senate, but
merely to the full committee.
