137 BILLS PASSED
IN SENATE RUSH
100000 Fund for Walter
Reed Included in Unop-
posed Calendar.

Legislation affecting the District
was included in 1877 measures which
the Senate put through yesterday
afternoon in fve-hour session
when consideration was given unob-
jected bills on the Senate calendar
One Of the most important of the
bills put through in this rush OF
business was the Wadsworth bill au-
thorizing the construction of addi-
tional facilities at Walter Reed Hos
pital and authorizing the appropria-
tion of 100000 for this purpose.
The bill provides for the compile
tion Of two wings of the main hos
pital building, containing wards; q
rear addition to the main hospital
building containing dining rooms
kitchens, wards and library; a
laboratory and morgue building and
tuberculosis, observation, infectious
disease and semi-isolation wards.
Projects to Cost s2,4S0, 900.
These projects will cost s2,4s6, 900
The Veterans Bureau is to contribute
100000 of this total and an appro-
priation is carried in the second de-
flciency appropriation bill for that
purpose. The War Department is
prepared to begin the construction
program Is soon as the funds become
available. The departments housing
program for Walter Reed Hospital
contains items totaling S3,S2O,O0O, OF
which the projects mentioned in the
Wadsworth bill are part. 1t now
goes to the House for action.
Another bill passed yesterday was
that introduced by Senator Ball
chairman of the District committee
TO regulate the sale and use of milk
bottles and cans and other containers
of milk and cream in the District O,
Columbia.
The bill provides that all containers
of milk shall be plainly marked with
the name of the distributor of the
milk or cream. 1t forbids the use
of such containers by distributors
whose names the containers do not
carry.
Mistakes in Identity.
The District Commissioners recon-
mended the passage of the bill on the
ground that 1t would be of assistance
to the Health Department in its
efforts to enforce the law and reEu-
lations relating to contagious diseases
The Commissioners pointed out that
In making inquiries concerning the
name of the dairyman furnishing milk
quently happens that the householder
forgets the correct name of the dairy
man she obtained her milk from, and
in order to refresh her memory ac-
cepts the name of milk bottle as that
of the dairyman who furnished the
milk. This information is quite often
erroneous, they say, as a number OF
dairymen IN the District are in the
habit Of using any milk bottle COM
ing into their possession. If dairy
men are prohibited from using bot
ties other than their own, errors OF
this kind can not happen.
Aid In Investigation.
The Commissioners say also that in
securing samples of milk or cream
for analysis and in cases where COM
plant Is made of the quality of the
milk sold, the limiting of dairymen
to the use of their own bottles would
be helpful to the Health Department
in the investigation that must follow

for the appointment of a second dep

WOULD CUT EXPENSES
OF GOVERNMENT GREATLY
Measure, Under Consideration Four
Years, Has No Serious 0pposi-
tion Before It Now.
BY Will p. KENNEDY.

Reorganization Of the administra-
tive branch OF the Government is as
dead as the pioverbial doornail at
this session Of Congress, but there is
strong probability that one of the
principal recomme mendationS of the
joint committee on reorganization
VIII be approved at this session as
distinct measure which Will bring
about a considerable reduction in the
cost OF running the Government.
The Senate showed clearly where
1t stood in regard to the reorganiza-
tion legislation on Friday. when by
a vote of Al to % 1t voted down SEN
ator Smoot's proposal to give it q
privileged status.
In the House Chairman Mapes Of
the House contingent on the joint
committee has been pressing House
leaders and the steering committee 10
give his bill carrying out the recon-
mendations OF the joint committee a
tryout lie and Representative Temple
Of Pennsylvania, the other Republican n
House member of the joint committee,
are boldly maintaining that they think
it has a chance OF passing. House
Leader Longw worth has been promis-
ing him the try-out as soon as posi-
BILE with the understanding that If
any considerable opposition develops
the reorganization measure will be
laid aside.
See No Chance for Vote.
But the reorganization bill has
been shunted behind each succeeding
appropriation bill as it comes from
committee. House Leader Longworth,
Chairman Smell of the rules commit
tee and other such men who know the
temper of the majority membership
and the plans of the steering COM
mittee earnestly protest that there is
no chance Of passing the reorgani-
zation bill at this session and espe-
cially the outstanding provision for
setting up new department of edu-
cation and relief, administered by a
new cabinet officer
1t is known that the Republican
majority is seriously divided on this
legislation, so much so that II 1t
came to a vote there probably would
be more Republican votes against
than for the bill. It's defeat IS clinch-
ed by the fact that the Democrats are
organized to fight it, and Representa-
tive Oldfeld of Arkansas. the Demo-
cratic whip and party campaign lead
er, has been active in rounding up
the vote in opposition.
Three Reasons for Fight.
Objection in Congress is mainly on
three features of the joint commit
tees proposal, first, against the pro-
posed new department. which has no
chance at all of getting by, and even
proponents OF the legislation admit
this; second, against the proposal to
remove the Bureau OF Roads from the
Department of Agriculture and place
it in the Interior Department., with
the two Democratic members of the
joint committee (Senator Pat Harri-
son of Mississippi and Representative
r. Walton Moore of Nirginia) on
record against this in a minority
report, and. third, against any inter-
ference with the rivers and harbors
work as now carried on by the En-
gineer Corps of the Army.

KILLS Z CHILDREN
IN RELIGIOUS CRAZE
Farmer Explains He Had to
"Sanctify" Home After
Excitement Kills Father.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
POTTSTOWN, Pa, January 81
Walter Bingaman, a farmer of War
wick township, near here, while in a
religious frenzy today, beat to death
two of his three children. When
policemen broke into the farmhous e
they found the farmers father,
George c. Bingaman, 73 years old,
also dead. His death, Coroner Rus
sell James Of Chester County said
was probably due to excitement and
heart disease.
Tonight Bingaman was in the
Chester County jafl violently insane
the police said. Bingaman's wife
was at the neighbor's house when the
tragedy occurred
The dead children were: H Pris-
ella Bingaman, 8 years old, and
William D. Bingaman, IS months
Argued About Religion.
Thursday night, according to Mrs.
Bingaman, her husband tried to con-
vert her to his way Of thinking in
religion.
An argument followed and he tried
to strangle her. She was rendered
unconscious for some time. Friday
night her husband again attacked her
and she fled to the house of a neigh
Dor ana renamed there OVernlg MT,
fearing to return to her home.
Today she became alarmed when
nobody was seen about the farm
house and the authorities at West
Chester were notified. Breaking into
the house they found Bingaman and
a 5year-old son, Walter. jr., stretched
across bed, with the dead grandfather
and two lfeless children in the same
room.
Prompted BY "Spirits."
The county officers seized iBngaman
and manacled him hand and foot. He
said he was prompted by "spirits' to
Kill the baby. He evidently had
beaten the infant to death with the
handle of a carpet sweeper.
When his aged father died Binga-
man said he had to ''sanctify" the
home by sacrificing the 3-year-old
girl. Her skull had been crushed.
The coroner held an inquest and
decided that Bingaman had killed the
two children and that the father died
from excitement and heart trouble.
Bingaman spared the life of Wal
ter, jr., his 5-year-old son, he told
his captors, because God had not
commanded him to take it," The
coroner believes the fit of temporary
insanity left the man after he had
killed the two children, to return
later.
