TWO LOCAL BILLS
IN SENATE RUSH
Insurance Measure May
Pass, but Racing Fate
Is in Doubt.

Two District bills that have passed
the HouSe-the new life insurance
code and the horse-racing MEASURE
in the last-minute rush toward ad-
journment today.
There are no indications Of opposi-
ton to the life insurance bill. and
Chairman King of the Senate District
Committee probably will be able to get
it through by unanimous consent.
The fate of the racing bill hangs in
doubt, however, because Of the oppo-
sition to 1t by the District Com
missioners. the Federation of Citizens
Associations and the Washington Fed
Grafton of Churches. Senator Rey-
nolds, Democrat, of North Carolina,
probably will try to obtain unanimous
consent to call it up during the day.
This procedure is believed to be the
only way the bill can be considered
this near to adjournment, and if any
one objects to unanimous consent the
bill probably will die.
There is one other important Dis
trict measure on the Senate calendar
that has passed the House, the auto
mobile safety responsibility bill, and
there is a possibility that one more
effort may be made to have it acted
on. Senator McCarran. Democrat. of
Nevada. had the bill postponed when
1t was reached on the calendar a few
days ago. because he believes there
should be separate financial respon-
sibility bill to govern taxicabs and an
other measure for other motorists.
The Senate passed q separate taxi
cab bill, but the House defeated that
and approved instead this general re-
Sponsibility bill, which applies alike
TO all drivers, but does not affect any
motorist unless he is convicted of
serious traffic offenses or has unpaid
accident judgments pending against
him.
Aside from these three pieces of
District interest during
the closing hours also is focused on
the last deficiency bill conference re-
port which will decide whether the
Public Utilities Commission, the Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board and the
Parole Board will have adequate funds
with which to operate for the coming
year.

BEER SALE BANNED
NEAR HIGH SCHOOL
A. B. c. Board Refuses IL
cense for Restaurant on
Fourteenth Street.

An application for an ION sale" beer
and wine license for the Diana Res
taurant, at 26o1 Fourteenth street. in
the vicinity of Central High School,
was rejected today by the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board
At the same time, the A. B. C.
Board ordered the revocation of an
on sale liquor license held by Maggie
Tiches, 1921 Fourteenth street, on
finding that sales of liquor have been
made there on Sunday and that in
one case sale of bottle liquor had
been made, whereas the permit allows
only sale of drinks for consumption
on the premises.
In the revocation case the licensee
was given until Tuesday night to dis
pose of current stock before the license
must be turned in.
The permit sought for the Diana
Restaurant by John CriSt was denied
on the ground sentiment of the neigh
borhood was against granting the
license and on showing that high
school students to a considerable de-
gree were regular patrons of the place
Neighbors also complained of noise at
the establishment when 80 beer was
sold there, although A. B. C. Board
inspectors reported they found the
place quiet and orderly.
Granting of the petition was op-
posed by the Board of Education, the
principals of Central High School and
the Powell Junior High School, the
Congress of Parents and Teachers, the
Mount Pleasant Citizens Association
and a number of residents. Approval
of the license was urged by Al resi-
dents of the section who signed a
petition, but the board found II per-
sons residing in the neighborhood had
registered opposition.

GOTWALS BACKS
SEWAGE TUNNEL
PLAN IN PRINCIPLE.
For 16.Foot Instead Of 10.
Foot Piney Branch Rock
Creek Project.
HOPES TO SEE ITEM
IN 1886 OR 7 BUDGET.
Cost of Larger Project Would
Add $500, 1000 to 81, 100000
Estimated for Smaller.

Construction OF great under
ground tunnel along Piney Branch
and Rock Greek, from Sixteenth street
down to Potomac River, to carry OF
sewage now left in the valleys after
heavy rains, was advocated today by
Engineer Commissioner John c. Got
walls.
The plan was proposed In q sup
Elementary report by the special
board of sanitary engineers engaged
by the District last Summer to make
a study Of means of improving sani-
tary conditions here.
10-Foot Tunnel Proposed.
The report is approved in principle
by the Engineer Commissioner, who
hopes that estimates TOR the project
may be carried In the District budget
either for the fiscal year 1896 or
1887.
The special board proposes develop
ment of tunnel 10 feet In diameter,
estimated to cost s1,500,00O. Such
a tunnel, 1t says. would carry of
all pollution now created in the valleys
except during very heavy storms OF
long duration. occurring probably
g or 10 times a year, when Rock
Greek wound be In food.
Maj. Gotwals. however. favors use
of a tunnel Is feet in diameter,
which he believes to be large enough
to carry of all sewage and storm
water, even during the heaviest rains.
and end this source of pollution of the
two valleys. The larger tunnel, he
estimates, would cost some $500, 900
more.
Members Of the special board, en-
ployed under a grant Of $4,000 from
the Public Works Administration, are
Harrison Eddy, Samuel Greeley and
John Gregory. In their first report
they recommended development of a
modern sewage disposal plant at
Blue Plains. now made possible by
the Districts p. w. A. bill. which is
awaiting the signature Of President
Roosevelt.
Present Sewer Causes Pollution.
The tunnel would start at Tiger
Bridge, on Sixteenth street, just
north Of Spring road, and would run
underground along Piney Branch and
then Rock Greek to the Potomac. 1t
would be tied in with the Rock Greek
interceptor sewer and relieve it of
pressure during storms.
The present pollution is caused by
inadequacy of the present combined"
sewer in Piney Branch Valley, which
carries both storm water and sewage
During heavy rains this is Surcharged
and overfows into the valley.
Such a project is not contemplated
under the $4,000 900 item in the Dis
trict P. w. A. bill for the sewage
disposal plant. The matter will be
laid before the Commissioners at an
early date.

CAR PLATFORMS SCORED
Britten Holds They Are insight
ly and Peril Traffic.

Wood car loading platforms on
Pennsylvania avenue were condemned
today as a menace to safety by Rep
resentative Britten, Republican, of Illi-
nois, who several days ago made an
attack on the Capital Transit Co. for
seeking to re-route its Connecticut
avenue line over the Taft Bridge.
Britten declared the platforms not
only are unsightly but constitute a
dangerous obstruction to traffic. He
believes painted loading zones with So
called traffic buttons at each end
would serve the same purpose without
destroying the esthetic appearance
of the Avenue.
