TAFT, IN HOSPITAL,
REPORTED BETTER
Ordered by Physician to Take
Rest; Expected to Leave
by tuesday.

Confined in Garfield Memorial Hos
pital with q bladder ailment, Chief JUS
tice william Howard Taft of the United
States Supreme Court was reported
early today as very much better"
Or. Francis r. Hagner OF the Farra =
gut Apartments, the Chief Justices
physicion, said he expected his patient
Monday or Tuesday at the latest.
The Chief Justice. who will be "
years old next September, returned early
yesterday from trip to Cincinnati, his
former home, and according to DR..
Haener was feeling pretty miserable. "
Upon the advice of his physicians, he
decided to 90 to Garfield to rest up for
a few days.
Condition Not Serious.
DR.. Hagner emphasized that there is
nothing serious in the Chief Justice s
ailment. It was thought ktsflrst that the
patient was suffering from stomach
trouble.
Chief Justice Taft spent restful
and comfortable night and is very much
better this morning." DR.. Hagner said:
an alarming nature and II all goes well,
he should be out Of the hospital at least
by Tuesday" ..
Mrs. Taft accompanied her husband
to Garfield yesterday, but did not re-
main there during the night.
1t is understood that quiet and rest
will do much to bring about the jurist' S
speedy recovery. Chief Justice Taft
had planned to continue on to his
Summer home in Canada upon his re-
turn from Cincinnati, but his Illness
will delay plans for his departure until
he has recovered his full strength.
May Have Overworked.
The Supreme Court recessed last
Monday after an unusually strenuous
session and it is believed that overwork
may have brought on Mr.. Taft's illness
and rundown condition. The court
docket was nearly cleared for the first
time in many years, necessitating a
great deal of extra night work on the
part of the individual justices. Chief
Justice Taft was very anxious to clear
the docket of a number Of long pending
cases, with a result, 1t was said, that
the last few weeks were particularly
laborious. He left Washington Monday
night and it is believed he may have
overexerted himself on his trip.

FORD RAILROAD
INDICTED BY Jury
Charges Violation of Ekins
Act in Receiving Discrim-
,>.-~~ inatory Rates.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 8 (P).-The
Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railway,
Henry Ford'a railroad was indicted on
Is counts charging violation of the FL
kins act in receiving discriminatory
rates for coal shipments from Kentucky
to Ohio points, by United States
Federal grand Jury here today.
The 25 counts charge that the D. T.
8E 7. ordered coal, destined for Ironton,
Jackson and other Ohio points, shipped
from Hardy and Stone, KY. to South
Charleston, Ohio, so that the Ford rail-
road would Feceive split" rates with
the Norfolk Il Western and then, when
the coal arrived at Glenn Jean, Ohio,
junction point, an agent who served
both roads would allow the D. T. g. I.
to ship the coal back over its line.
The D., T. 81 l. crosses the Norolk g.
Western twice in Ohio. The Govern
ment charges that coal should have
been sent from Hardy by the D., T. Sc I.
over the N. g. w. to the first junction
point and thence over the D., T. SS I.
OThCkS 10 4IOIlCOIl, tilc bOIl shipping
charge being $1.15, which the Ford
Railroad had to pay.
Instead, the Government claims the
D.. T. IL I. ordered coal delivered by
the Fordson Coal Co. to the N. g. w.
at Hardy, sent to South Charleston,
Ohio, north of the second junction
point, which is Glen Jean. The rate to
South Charleston was $214, and the
D., T. & I. received $l.01 of this as its
customary share. But the coal never
reached South Charleston, the Govern
ment alleges.
Instead when it arrived at Glen Jean
the joint agent allowed the d. T. 81
to take the coal there and ship it back
to Jackson on short haul. The Ford
Railroad thus, by working on the split
rail basis, Government agents charge
got lower rate for long haul than it
would for a short haul direct to Jack
son.
Such rates, the indictment says, con-
trary to published tariffs and constitute
determinations solicited, accepted and
received" 1t was emphasized that nc
individuals but only the railroad was
indicted

Congressional Consideration
Expected at Once on
Appropriation.
ACTION OF PRESIDENT
FOLLOWS BINGHAM VISIT
Joint Committee Now May Turn
Attention to Site and
Cost of Field.

SPresident Hoover has given his assent
TO the budget estimate for a 100000
appropriation for the acquisition of
land upon which to build Washington's
municipal airport. The President to-
day approved the estimate, which has
been prepared by the Bureau of the
Budget, and returned it to the bureau
along with brief message to be trans
mitted with the estimates to Congress,
which was done shortly afterward.
In this message the President made
known his approval of the expenditure
emergency measure.
The President was represented today
as not only being anxious to see Wash
ington'S hopes for a modern and ade-
quate airport realized as soon as pos
sible, but understanding the impor-
tance of acquiring the necessary site
before prices of the land have been
boosted, The Presidents action today
followed call at the White House by
Senator Bingham of Connecticut,
chairman of the joint congressional
committee which has been studying the
question of municipal airport for the
Capital.
Now that the President has approved
the budget estimate and has urged i'm
mediate congressional action, Senator
Bingham feels assured that this money
will be available almost Immediately.
He anticipates no difdculty in getting
through the joint resolution providing
for immediate appropriation of the
$780, which will be turned over to
the National Park and Planning Com
mission to secure options on land and
for the ultimate purchase of the site
decided upon.
This appropriation will constitute the
Federal Governments contribution
toward the local airport which the
President and Congress are anxious to
have as a model Of its kind for the
rest of the Nation.
With this appropriation out of the
way the joint Congressional committee
may now give it's attention to plans
for the airport itself. Before the plans
can be perfected definitely, however,
the airport site must be decided upon,

home to get his wife, the flood struck.
The parsonage was twisted from its

Building Costs to Go Up.

Another one of the labor contro-
versies which has been vexing the
builders and workmen of Washington
has been settled. An agreement has
been signed between the master plum
bers and the union workmen whereby
the latter are to receive at once an
increase CT so cent day, and an ad-
ditional so cents August IS.
The union plumbers were successful
in their demands for a five-day week
Hereafter they will not be required to
work Saturdays, except in case OF
emergency.
The new scale of wages, which will
be in effect after August is. will
amount to Si2 day for fiVe-day
week for all union plumbers in the Dis
trict OF Columbia.
Increase Building Costs.
This increase will add another con-
siderable amount to the cost of build
ing In Washington. Already increases
have been demanded and obtained by
the concrete rodnnen and the cement
finishers. Workmen in both of these
unions have obtained agreements from
the builders which will increase theil
wages from SO to $40 day, effective
partly at once and partly later during
the next IL months.
Negotiations are still in progress be-
tween the builders and the operative
engineers and the metal and tile
workers.
The increases In plumbers wages, as
we'll as those Of other union workmen
will affect the cost not only of private
building operations here, but of the
Governments $50,000,000 building pro-
ject.
Writes to President.
Edwin II. RoSengarten, president of
the Master Builders Association, wrote
to President Hoover a few weeks ago
the local building trades and the prob
able increase IN the cost Of the Govern
ment's building program. Soon there
after conciliatorS of the Department of
Labor made an investigation of the local
labor situation with respect to the build
ing trades, but so far as known the Gov
ernment has taken no partSin the nego-
tiations between the workmen and en-
ployers.
The demands of the local building
trades unions for wage increases and a
five-day week are in line with similar
demands all over the United States.
The local unions have had the support
of their national and International off,
cials.
In one or two instances here strikes
have occurred, but in most cases the
men have kept on working while the
negotiations with their employers have
been progressing. There has been no
tie-up of the Governments bCilding
program.

CENSUS BILL TAKEN
|, UP BY CONFEREES
Early Solution of Differences
Between House and Senate
Expected.

An early agreement on adjustment of
differences between the House and Sen
ate on the administration bill to author
ize the 1880 census and reapportion-
ment Of the House on the basis of that
bill, is expected from the conference
committee which began consideration OF
the bill today.
Now that the House has re-amended
the bill to, cut out the drastic amend
ments 1t originally inserted, there are
few major differences between the
House and Senate versions Of the legis-
lation and it is believed these will be
smoothed out by the conference COM
mittee during the next few days.
=. The House proposed that the census
be started next May rather than ir
November, as provided by the Senate
The Senate adopted the proposal OF
Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New
York, to place the 100000 employees who
will be used in the two weeks census
taking under civil service, but the House
struck out that provision.
Language 1S SHAnBcus
While the House by q narrow margin
sustained the provision In the Senate
measure authorizing a census Of un-
employment along with the taking OF
the general census, it changed the lam
guage and this will have to be adjusted
The section requiring automatic re-
apportionment Of the House every ten
years was approved by both the House
and Senate and is not subject to re-
vision.
The big contests against the legisla-
ton were waged on the issue to exclude
aliens from the count upon which the
House membership would be based. The
House once approved this proposition
but later rescinded its action. Friends
of the bill contended that this proposal
was unconstitutional and a movement
already has been launched to amend
the Constitution to provide for exclusion
of aliens in counts upon which appor-
tionment of House membership Is based.
Program Endorsed by Hoover.
President Hoover has indorsed the
program of administration leaders that
this bill should be enacted before the
special session takes the prospective
Summer recess.
