After Two.Hour Debate.
Ship Bill! Taken Up.

After two hours debate on an
amendment offered by Senator Nc
Kellar of Tennessee providing for a
the Senate vote of 81 to So laid the
Mcclellan amendment on the table.
The McKellar amendment had been
offered to a bill providing for the sale
by the District Commissioners Of land
purchased in 1869 at Goth and Jack
son streets for public school purposes,
but never used for that purpose.
by Senator Ball. chairman Of the Dis
trict committee, when the Senate first
met today. Senator McKellar i'm
mediately offered his amendment pro-
viding that hereafter street car fares
in the District should be cents. with
six tickets for a quarter.
Many Of the senators had been de-
sirous of considering the so-called
anti filled milk bill during the morn
ing hour today. But the debate on
the proposed flve-cent street car fare
in the District continued throughout
the, morning hour.
Finally, Senator McNary of Oregon,
one Of those desiring to bring up the
filled milk bill, moved to leave the
McKellar amendment on the table.
His motion carried by ono vote, but
too late for the transaction of any
other business before the shipping
bill came up as the unfinished busi-
ness Of the Senate.
Senator Smith Of South Carolina
thought there should be an investiga-
tion by a committee to get all the
facts of alleged watered stock. Nc
Kellar replying that in the mean
time the street railways ought not
to be allowed to charge the high fare.

HOPE FOR DISTRICT:
LEGISLATION WAVES
IN BIG HOUSE JAM
Rules Committee Head Says
Chance for Another
Day Is Slim.
MANY IMPORTANT BILLS
HANG FIRE; IL DAYS LEFT
Two Years Frittered Away by
Focht's Associates, Declares
Chairman Campbell.

Chairman Campbell Of tho House
rules committee made it plain today
that as far as he can see now 1t will
be impossible to grant the House Dis
rrict committee another day in which
to call up the teachers salary bill or
other important legislation.
Mr.. Campbell expressed the opinion
that the only chance Chairman Focht
Of tho District committee has to get
the teachers salary bill through the
House is to notify the Speaker that
he will move to suspend the rules to
put the bill through.
It is known that Speaker Gillett
would not be in favor or Such
course. as he believes the teachers
pay bill is not the character of legls-
iation that should be considered un-
der suspension of rules with linz
tied time cutting off all debate.
Blames District Committee.
Chairman Campbell expressed HIM
self as very sympathetic to the Dis
trict and to the school teachers. He
said that If he had 1t in his power
he would be glad to put the District
committee in for another day, but
insisted that the District committee
has "frittered away its time for the
last two years, and that It Is unfair
in the closing jam Of this Congress
TO push other important committees
and general legislation aside to correct
the shortcomings Of the District COM
mittee."
Chairman Campbell displayed four
special rules, all on important gen
eral legislation, which must be given
privileged status now. He pointed
out that the House Is now in Its third
day on another measure. the omni-
bus Navy bill, which should have
been settled in one day.
Many Bills Await Action.
Chairman Campbell explained that
the judiciary, military affairs, irri-
CATION, public lands. immigration.
foreign affairs and other standing
committees are each insisting upon
day for consideration Of important
matters which they have reported
and which are pending on the cal
endar.
with only twelve legislative days
left. he explained, it will be tmpo3-
sibie to meet all these demands.
Regarding the character OF i'm
portant legislation that Is waiting,
Mr.. Campbell consulted the calendar
OF the military affairs committee,
which has twenty-one important bills
awaiting action. He said that the ju-
dietary committee has q number or
administration matters, including
measure to house woman criminals
a nd to give additional room in federal
penitentiaries.

Engineer Commissioner Keller.
chairman OF the Public Utilities
Commission, denied emphatically
today that he had any thought OF
criticizing any one in his address
read before the American Electric
Railway Association meeting hero
yesterday.
Tho Commissioners statement
was prompted by published re-
ports that the Central Citizens AS
ISOLATION mot last night and took
exception to what the colonel said
in regard to the public attitude
Toward utility corporations.
/ Col Keller said his address was
not directed at tho local street
railway situation, but dealt with
the broad question Of utility regu-
iation throughout the country.
Tho thought he had in mind, he
said, was to urge fair play both by
the utility and the receiver Of
utility service. He called attention
to the fact that he advised the
companies to LAY their cards on
the table, and to ask only for
what they are reasonably entitled

PROBE Of BUREAU
BLOCKED BY c. 0.P.
Republican Senators, How
ever, May Approve Paying
Lost Salary.

The republican members Of the
Senate committee on contingent ex-
penses Of the Senate, It was reported
today, are unwilling to bring about
an investigation Of the dismissal of
the twenty eight employees Of the bu-
reau of engraving and printing last
year by executive order.
II is believed, however, that they
might be willing to support measure
to pay these dimissed employees the
back salary due them for the period
since their dismissal.
The committee is to meet again this
afternoon to consider further the
Caraway resolution which calls for an
investigation Of the dismissal Of these
employees.
Representatives Of the dismissed
bureau of engraving and printing
chiefs today charged that the Senate
committee on audit and control, which
is considering a resolution by Senator
Caraway of Arkansas to investigate
the dismissals, has refused to grant
a hearing to either the dismissed
chiefs or their friends.
Charles B. Brewer, special investi-
gator Of the Department Of Justice
who. 1t is understood, was instru-
mental in fling the original charges
on which President Harding based his
action. already has been heard by the
committee and. according to authori-
tative information, he was unable to
eubstantiate his original charges.
Friends of the dismissed chiefs as
sert that the action Of the committee
is serious perversion Of justice and
that 1t has shown grave bias in re-
ton.
