tinuance of recent dull sessions. With

ments Of pedestrians and vehicnlar users
and have given consideration TO industrial

"As to location Of bridge between
Market and Eleventh streets. whether

recommend structure at or near the
location Of the former trolley company
bridge. However, because OF the small

Of danger in grade railroad crossing at
switching point, the curve approaches

north, ! should suggest that bridge at
this time be provided for pedestrian Use
only. II Is probable that such could be
placed Of sufficient height TO span the
railroad and the stream without inter

"The officials OF the United States
Engineering Office advise me that the
quirement for clearance above high

partment after a public hearing and con-
sideration of riparian rights.

TARIFF BILL IS
DUE To COME UP
IN HOUSE TODAY
Special Ruling Is Made Civ
ing 1t the Right of Way
and Limiting Debate; Hard
Fight Is Expected.

Washington, Dec. 21.-The Ford
ney emergency tariff measure, de-
signed to protect some twenty odd
farm products by virtually stopping
their importation through heavy
duties will be called up in the house
tomorrow under a special rule CIV
ing 1t right of way and limiting de-
bate.
Although hard fight is expect
ed, proponents of the bill declared
tonight it's passage by the house
was certain. Its fate, however, in
the senate is regarded as somewhat
doubtful.
In the first test vote today ad-
vocates of the special tariff legis-
lation won signal victory By
adopting 206 to 76 motion to sus-
pend the business of calendar
Wednesday so as to bring the bill
to a vote tomorrow before adjourn
ment. There will be no opportunity
to include other articles by amend
ment.
The bill was denounced in the
house today as Especial class legis-
lation" by Representative Madden,
republican, of Illinois, who de-
clared that its "unwisdom must be
manifest to everybody"
The purpose of the measure, Mr..
Madden said, was to legislate on a
few articles and to eliminate from
consideration many other articles
in the hands of thousands of deal
ers. The only other reference to it
on the floor was by Representative
Longworth, republican, of Ohio,
who said it was needed to save i'm
portant agricultural interests from
