BEAUTY OF VENICE
SAVED FOR FUTURE
New Academy of Italy Pre-
vents Commercial Changes
Deemed Harmful.

VENICE, Italy-By one vigorous
stroke the Academy of Italy has saved
Venice from mutilation in the interests
of commerce.
Created a few months ago, the Acad-
emy of Italy was granted by King and
government authority over any struc-
tural project touching beautiful build
ings, streets, squares or sites anywhere
in Italy.
Its disapproval of the Venice project
has the force of the government behind
1t and means instant failure of the pro-
posed development.
municipality of Venice wished to dig a
canal piccolo Oittle canaD for a short
cut between the ends of a bosomy bend
in the Grand Canal.
The municipality had approved it.
The money was ready. I'VE need it,"
they said. "The Grand Canal is con-
gested. 1t takes a half hour by steam
boat to get from the station to st.
Marks Square"
The Academy of Italy assembled. At
the meeting were the artist Sartorio,
the academicians Ettore Tito and
Canonica, the composers Mascagni,
author of "Cavalleria Rusticana," and
Giordano, author of ANDRE Chenier," !"
But" they said, you are going to
change Venice. You are going to
transform this gem of the Adriatic.
We appreciate your desire to speed up
transportation. But at what a
sacrificed"
There is no appeal from the decision
Of the academy. Throughout Italy the
academys action has met with tre-
mendous acclaim.

Local Bills Without
Discussion.

The Senate today passed without de-
bate the bill to require taxicab operators
70 take out insurance or give bond to
the Public Utilities Commission to sat-
1sfy judgments resulting from accidents
and at the same time passed three
other bills of local interest. The other
measures approved without discussion
were:
The Robsion bill. extending the pad
lock law to apply to gambling estab-
1tshments; the bill authorizing the Bu-
reau Of Standards to acquire additional
land adjoining its present buildings and
the bill authorizing the people of Penn
sylvania to erect an ornamental foun-

poned, and the resolution of Senator
Tydings to give Senators the option of
adeciding whether dial telephones are
4 to be removed or retained in their re-
spective Offices in the Senate ONCE
Building also was postponed for later
consideration.

duced by Senator Capper. would have
given the Utilities Commission general
authority over rates and other phases of
regulation, but the committee decided
to confine the measure at this time to
q requirement that taxicab operators
furnish proof Of their financial respon-
sibilities.
The taxicah bill still requires action
by the House, and the gambling pad
lock measure also requires House ac-
ton.
Amendment Approval Needed.

Bureau of Standards, at an estimated
cost of 100000, has passed the House,
but must go back there for approval of
a Senate amendment prohibiting the

HOWELL PROTESTS
LEGATIONS LIQUOR
Author of New Bill ConferS
With Maj. Pratt About
Possible Action.

A protest against the importation of
liquor by foreign diplomats in Wash
ington was made today to Maj Henry
G. Pratt, superintendent of police, by
Senator Howell of Nebraska, author of
bill to give the District a special
liquor enforcement act.
Aroused by newspaper stories of the
delivery to the British embassy yester-
day of a cargo of 1000 bottles of rare
liquors, wines and brandies, Senator
Howell called on Maj. Pratt and told
him that the importation was in viola
ton of the prohibition law and he be-
lieved the police should take some ac-
ton.
Maj Pratt is said to have agreed
that the importation of liquor by any
one, including the accredited repre-
Sentatives of foreign governments, con-
Stituted a violation of the law, but that
diplomats are permitted to import it
with immunity out of diplomatic cour-
teSy.
Senator Howell declined to comment
on his conference with Maj. Pratt. He
said he happened to be at the District
Building this morning and just "casu-
ally dropped in" to see the police
superintendent.
Senator Howell's bill to give the Dis
trict a special enforcement act would
authorize the issuance of warrants for
a search of private dwellings upon in
formation OF the presence of liquor.

against the hop-off late today, in the
belief that better weather conditions

should the present outlook hold. He
had hopes that further weather reports
would reveal even better conditions.

House Committee Chairman
Wants Blame to crest
Where 1t Belongs"
BINGHAM CALLS MEETING
TO SETTLE DEADLOCK
Denial Issued That Federal EN-
ployes Meet Expense of
Government.

Concluding speech in the House
today on fiscal relations between the
Federal Government and the municipal
administration of the Capital City,
which is bone of contention between
the Senate and House conferees causing
a deadlock on the District appropria-
ton bill for the coming fiscal year, with
the House conferees standing firm for
the 100000 lump sum contribution
by the Federal Government and the
Senate conferees insisting on some
compromise between the $4,000 900 and
$4,000, 900, as approved by the Senate,
Chairman Simmons of the House con-
ferees said:
IF the bill must fail by reason of
the demand for still greater contri-
button, let the responsibility for the
failure rest where it belongs"
While Representative Simmons was
delivering his address Senator Bingham
announced that he had called a meet
ing of the Senate and House conferees
on the bill for 1890 tomorrow morning
in final effort to break the deadlock.
This will be the first time the con-
fereeS have met together since they
struck the deadlock over fiscal relations
nearly two weeks ago, with the House
members insisting on the $4,000 900
lump sum, while the Senate group took
the position that the growing total of
District expenses justifies some increase
in that contribution.
Tells of Conferences.

today attempted to diSprove the claim
that the District, in its financial affairs,
is suffering because the Federal Gov
eminent is purchasing large tracts of
most valuable land in the heart of the
city, thereby making it tax exempt.
He recounted the history of three
conferences between the House and
Senate conferees and denied the state
ment made by Senator Bingham in the
Senate that the House conferees had
not been fair.
Representative Simmons said that the
claim that Washington has no large
business industry and must depend on
taxing small properties owned by Gov
eminent employees for it's support is
absurd" because the largest business
in the world, that of the United States
Government, is located here and but
for that business Washington would
still be swamp on the banks OF the
Potomac.
Representative Simmons stressed that
the District appropriation bill is the
last of the annual supply bills that has
not been agreed to in conference. He
said he assumed that the charge that
the House conferees are unfair lis not
intended to be personal charge" Mr..
Simmons told his colleagues in the
House that there are two reasons for
the adoption of the lump-sum plan.
Private Property Gains.
1.-THE first recognizes that the prop
erty values of the United States re-
