Questioned by the Senate lobby COM
mittee before he became a United
States Senator from Pennsylvania, the
work of Joseph r. Grundy on behalf
of protective tariff again was before
the committee today with Warren r.
Doane, editor of The Manufacturer, tes-
trying that he was employed by the
Pennsylvania Senator at salary Of
$500 month.
The committee called Doane after at
tention had bene directed to a news
paper story that Grundy's old organiza-
ton, the American Tariff League, had
moved its headquarters into the Sena-
tors offces in the Senate ONCE Build
ing after he succeeded William S. Ware.
Grundy on the Senate floor yester-
day denied this report emphatically
and said that his of1ces we're used only
by his own employees or those of the
Government.
AbandOns Downtown Office.
Doane, whose magazine devotes It
self mostly to tariff matters, said that
ne was employed by Grundy for the
las. six or seven years and that after
Grundy took his seat he (Doane), aban-
doned his downtown Offices, where he
issued newspaper releases under the
name of the American Tariff League
News Bureau, and was assigned q desk
in the Senator's office.
Doane denied, however, that the news
bureau had any connection with the
American Tariff League, and said he
had issued no news releases from Grun-
dy's quarters. He added that he did
much of his work at downtown hotel,
where he lived.
"Are you an employe then Of Senator
Grundy?" asked Senator Blaine, Re-
publican, Wisconsin.
That's it. I'm on his STAFF" Doane
answered
Two other witnesses, Arthur L. Faubel,
vice president of the American Tariff
League, and John Lerch, an attorney
employed by the league, were called to
testify today. Lerch was unable to be
present, but Faubel, who followed Doane
on the stand, testified emphatically that
his organization had not moved its
headquarters into Grundys ofices.
Doane spent most Of the morning
session on the stand. The witness was
at one time sent from the room with a
committee investigator to get copies of
manuscripts and memoranda he had
prepared for Grundy.
Gathered Data for Grundy.
He said he did not know what use
the Senator made of the data he pre.
pared, and then the questioning went
back to Grundys previous appearance
before the committee in October.

OF PARROT FEVER
Widowed Mother and Watch
man, Laboratory En-
pIoyes, Are III.

Two more employees of the hygienic
laboratory of the Public Health Service
are i'll of what is believed to be psitta-
COSTS, or parrot fever.
One is Mrs. Sadie Carlin, 818 Sixth
street northeast, widow and the
mother of two children, who was en-
ployed In preparing cultures.
The other is Robert Lanham, who
lives near walkers Chapel, Va, a
Waterman at the laboratory.
In confirming the illness of these
two, DR.. George w. Mccoy, head of the
laboratory, announced that it had been
definitely established that the organism
responsible for parrot fever is a filter
able virus-an organism so small that
1t cannot be detected under the most
powerful microscopes, but which will
pass through practically solid wall
of porcelain.
Filtration Experiments Successful.
Two filtration experiments have
proved successful, Mr.. Mccoy said.
From the residue which passed through
the porcelain filter it was possible to
inoculate other birds with the disease.

mosphere Of confidence among at least
some Of the leading delegates that tan
gible results would be achieved within
measurable time.
This feeling was especially voiced by
Prime Minister Macdonald, who declared
emphatically that the conference was
going to produce a treaty at a not very
distant date.
Reason for BuOyancy.
eff I talk with feeling of buoyancy,'
he said. II have very good reason for
it."
The prime minister also declared that
"all the prophets Of evil, as so often is
the case in human history, have been
confounded."
The prime minister's optimistic pre-
diction was made at the close of meet
ing of the principal delegates of all five
powers at St. James Palace made pos
Sible by the return of the French with
their delegation in full working order
Premier Tardieu himself was not pres
ent, being absent in the South of France
where disastrous floods have been in
progress.
Faster Progress Is Asked.
Prime Minister Macdonald was one of
the most active figures at today's meet
ing, pleading for faster tempo in the
pace of the conference. In urging a
speeding up of negotiations he asked
the delegations to submit their fleet tom
mage figures Immediately so that the
category tables can be filled out.
With Tardieu absent Mr.. Macdonald
will meet Foreign Minister BRAND al
Chequers on Sunday to talk things over
and on Monday morning the heads OF
the delegations again will meet to de-
eide among other things when the next
plenary session of the conference viii

chiefs today was to express deep SYM
pathy with the French nation at the loss
Of life and suffering caused by the floods
IN South and Southwest France. M

phasized how much France would appre.

CITY TO LET ROAD
CONTRACTS EARLY
Plan Is Designed to Relieve
Unemployment Situation
In District.

The District Highway Department
announced today that it would award
contracts for 100000 worth of street,
alley and sidewalk construction March
"a. much earlier than is customary, in
order to help relieve the unemployment
situation.
Capt. H. G.. Whitehurst, co-ordinator
and chief engineer of the District En-
cheering Department, pointed out that
ordinarily contracts for street improve
ment work are not awarded until pas
sage of the District appropriation bill,
when the new projects it provides are
combined with work left over from the
previous working season. Since it is I'M
likely that the 1891 appropriations viii
become available until after the Spring
working season opens, he recommended
that the work left over from last season
be Immediately placed on the market
because 1t will directly or indirectly give
employment to a number of men.
Seen as Employment Aid.
Although the work will not materially
increase the District force, Can't. White
hurst explained, it will give employment
through contractors and material deal
erS to men now out of work. After the
work is started. he said. the District
may have need for few additional day
laborers.
Bids on the various construction pro-
jects will be advertised Monday. The
program calls for $4,000 square yards
OF sheet asphalt, the same amount of
cement alley construction IN mn ent,o 20
yards OF cement sidewalk construction
and 10000 square yards of surface
treatment on macadam roadways.
Streets included in the early con-
tracts, it was said, have been selected
to avoid as far as possible extensive
Underground work, which otherwise
would result in delays to full start on
the work.
Plans Virtually Complete.
Capt. Whitehurst has virtually COM
pleted plans for the entire current street
Improvement program which involves
the surfacing ,resurfacing and repairing
OF $50 streets, covering approximately
80 miles. 1t is estimated that the en-
tire program will cost $2,500,000.
The program has been worked out SO
that there will be a continuity of pro-
gresS. BY the time the work to be put
under contract, March "a, is well under
way. 1t Is expected that Congress will
nave passed the appropriation bill.
Work on the projects provided in this
Dill will then be started as the highway
appropriations become available i'm
mediately. AS originally framed for
consideration of the Budget Bureau, the
1881 program contained 81 surfacing
and grading projects.
