SENATORS PASS
P|STOL-BAN BILL
Measure Barring Weapons
From Mails Now Goes to
President Coolidge.

A Federal measure to make it more
difficult for undesirable persons to OBJ
tain revolvers by barring such fire.
nrms from shipment through the mails
was passed by the Senate last night.
Having been approved by the House
at the last session, the bill is ready
for the Presidents signature. The
bill would affect mail-order houses
that sell pistols on a c. o. ID. basis
by shipping them through the mails.
In a report to the Senate by Sena-
tor Phipps, on behalf of the commit
tee on post offices and post roads, at
tention was called to a letter from a
city magistrate in New York, who in
favoring the bill declared that revol-
vers ARE almost as plentiful in this
country as lead pencils"
America Biggest Market.
The magistrate told Congress the
United States is the greatest market
in the world for the sale of pistols.
This magistrate took the position
that revolvers are OF little value even
TO good citizens for defense against
robbers, because, he contended, the
victim is usually taken by surprise
before he has a chance to use his
own weapon.
New Backs Measure.
The report further asserted that
more people are wounded or killed by
pistols in the United States in one
year than in all the rest of the world.
Postmaster General New advised
Congress that regardless of what leg
jslation is proposed to prevent inter
state shipment of revolvers by other
agencies they should be barred from
delivery through the mail

SENATE DELIGHTS
DISTRICT ANGLERS
Passes Bills Blocking Sale of Bass
and Extending Closed
Season.

The anglers of Washington were
made happy today by the action of
the Senate last night in passing the
Halves bill preventing the sale of
large and small mouth bass in the
District Of Columbia, and the Capper
bill extending the closed season for
these fish from January to June, in
stead Of the present twomonth closed
season.
This action followed a favorable re.
port of the Halves bill yesterday by
the House District committee. The
bill in the House is sponsored by Rep
resentative j. j. Manlove of Missouri.
who introduced it for the anglers of
Washington.
In presenting the bill Mr.. Manlove
said it was introduced with the idea
of carrying out a movement that is
progressing all over the United States
to protect for the future the game
and game-fish of the country so that
those who may desire to participate
In hunting and fishing may have the
opportunity to do so.
When the bill was called up at the
previous meeting of the House Dis
trict committee there was some objec:
ton on the part of Representative
Blanton of Texas and others, princi-
pally because there was no one pres
ent to explain the mea sure.
Yesterday q number of District
anglers appeared before the House
District committee ready and willing
to explain that such a law was badly
needed here. Mr.. Blanton, who had
objected to the bill when it was first
read, was told that the proposed
measure was the only thing to stop
the wholesale slaughter of bass In the
Potomac River. After listening to ar
guments in favor of the measure Mr..
Blanton said he would not oppose the
bill If amended to exclude all salt
water bass. The bill as amended by
Mr.. Blanton was then quickly disposed
of without dissenting vote. Mr..
Blanton then promised to support 1t
when it came up in the House.
Among those appearing in support
of the measure were George King,
who is responsible for the bill, as it
was through his efforts that Senator
Halves first introduced it in the
Senate; Edward c. Kemper, chairman
of the bass protection committee,
Washington Chapter, Izaak Walton
League of America: Perry Miller, edi.
tor of Rod and Stream in The Star,
and Bob Wilson, fishing editor of the
Washington Herald.
Early action by the House is hoped
for by fishermen of Washington to
end for all time the many evils sur
rounding the American game fish,
large and small mouth bass.

FARMERS MARKET
ACTION POSTPONED
Capper Writes to District
Committee Members Stress
ing Urgency of Action.

Although the bill authorizing pur-
chase of a site for new Farmers
Market will not be acted upon by
the Senate District committee at its
weekly meeting this afternoon, Chair
man Capper has not lost hope of pass
ing the measure at this session. The
bill already has been approved by the
House.
On the contrary. he wrote today tc
each member of the District commit
tee, inclosing a copy Of the hearings
on the market question and calling
attention to the urgent nature OF the
legislation, in view of the fact that
the farmers who bring produce to
Washington win have to give up at
least half of the existing market at
Twelfth and B streets this Spring to
make way for the new Internal Reve-
nue. building.
Copeland Asks Postponement.
Senator Copeland of New York will
not be able to attend the committee
meeting today and asked that the
market question be deferred.
The committee may take action
today on the long delayed bill to give
a permanent status to the Woman S
Bureau of the Police Department and
defining the field of service to be
rendered by that bureau.
Another measure listed for con-
sideration this afternoon is the park
commissions bill to empower the
commission to assume jurisdiction
over prospective park sites during the
time condemnation proceedings look.
ing to the purchases are pending in
court. The bill would provide a
method of compromising the owners
for being deprived of the free use Of
their land in advance of it's purchase
by the Government. The park authori
ties have stated the object of the bill
is to protect proposed park sites.

Reports.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
AT the request of counsel for Frank
l.. Smith, Senator-designate from Illi-
nois, the Senate elections committee
today. deferred further consideration of
his credentials until Wednesday.
c. j. Doyle explained that Col.
Smith could not leave his home be-
cause of an ear infection from which
he has been suffering for several
weeks, and that he and Attorney Gen
eral Carlstrom of Illinois desired to
confer with the Senator designate be-
fore the committee took further steps.
Col. Smiths ear infection began on
the day he arrived here last month, to
present his credentials to the Senate
and it has not responded to treatment.
His counsel said the attending physi-
clans were apprehensive that a mas
told operation might prove necessary.
Smith has asked for partial report
by the committee recommending that
the Senate permit him to take the
oath, but present indications are that
this request will be denied and the
ommittee will proceed with hearing
on the contributions made to the sena-
torial primary campaign by public
utilities operators of Illinois.

NEW CAMP MEADE
BARRACKS ASSURED
Senate Approves House Bill
Providing $500, OO0-Work>
Starts in Summer.

The last obstacle in the way Of
speedy construction of new barracks
at Camp Meade to replace the
draughty, leaky. dilapidated shacks
now in use, disappeared today fol-
lowing passage by the Senate last
night of a House bill appropriating
100000 for construction work at
the post. The bill authorizes eX-
penditure of $1,400,000 at various
Army posts throughout the country.
A total of $4,000 is now avail
able for new barracks at Camp
Meade. The sum of $4,000 was
authorized in the appropriation bill
of 1927. The 100000 granted in the
bill passed last night will cover needs
pointed out by the War Department
several weeks ago when it decided
to begin actual construction next
Summer.
Plans Are Now Ready.
War Department officials said to-
day that the layout and drawings
for the buildings have already been
started. These are expected to be
finished and approved before Spring
and the work will probably begin
early in the Summer The buildings
will be permanent, class A, rein
forced concrete and brick structures.
They will be of colonial design.
At the same time plans are going
forward for new buildings at Fort
Humphreys. A 100000 program is
contemplated there, with 100000 al
ready available. Construction is ex-
pected to be begun simultaneously
with the work at Camp Meade.
The Camp Meade measure was
passed by the Senate last night after OBJ
lection had been made and WITHDRAWN
by Senator Bingham, Republican, of
Connecticut, who argued against erec-
ton Of permanent buildings at Gov
errors Island. He favored use of the
island as an airport.
Senator Wadsworth, Republican, Of
New York said the Post Office De.
partment had rejected Governors Is
land as not suitable for an airport.
Senator Wadsworth declared officers
and men under present conditions
were forced to live in unfit quarters,
many of them erected for temporary
use and likely to burn down at any
time.
Among the larger items in the bill
in addition to the Camp Meade item,
were: 1921 900 for barracks at Brooks
Field, Tex; S750,000 for officers quar-
tiers and $550,000 for barracks at
March Field, Calf. S465,000 for bar
racks at Fort Benning. Ga. and $780,
