KING WATCHES
CHANCE FOR
D. {. BILLS
Senator to Call Early
"CIean-Up" Meeting
OF Committee

With more than Is bills on the
calendar Of the Senate District
Committee, half Of which have
little chance Of passing at this
session, Senator William H. King
I'D, of Utah, chairman, is watch
ing his chance to call a clean
up" meeting Of the committee.
II he finds it expedient the
meeting will be called toward the
end Of this week, he said today.
Although he wishes to leave q
clean sheet behind at the end
of this session on District legiS-
lation, he is Handicapped now
by the Tightening Of the situation
by important national bills that
must be rushed through before
the session ends.
Delegate Bill Stalled
Because of announcements that
efforts will be made at both the
political conventions to seek some
kind of representation Tor the
District in the party planks, little
hope is held for the measure 10
authorize a Delegate from the
District to the House, now on the
calendar, or the bill to regulate
the selection of delegates to the
conventions. Little hope is seen
also for passage Of the bill pro
viding for election OF the Board
Of Education, which has had an
unfsvorable report from the DIS
trict Commissioners.
The calendar does contain, now
ever, the following bills which
might be reported out and passed:
The lunacy measure: q bill exempt
ing property of American war
mothers from taxes; an authorize
ton for rewriting the District
code; the new juvenile court meas
ure; bill to extend Prospect
Street; a bill to regulate the time
for District damage actions; a bill
to make December 26, 1885, a legal
holiday. a bill to amend the code
relative to fraternal benefit aSSo-
Citations; a bill to regulate taxes
on public utility companies; a bill
to regulate hours of employment
Of women in the District: meas
ure to amend the code relative to
incorporation of interpretations;
a bill to regulate the practice Of
pharmacy; a bill to provide for in
corporation, regulation, m g r
and consolidation Of certain COM
panies; a bill to regulate profes-
sional engineering: a bill to pro-
vide for incorporation Of credit
unions, and a bill for a private
pipe line.
? Rent Measure Doomed
The rent bill, which was beaten
so decisively in the House, has
been kept dormant on the calen-
dar to await House action and is
hardly expected to be called up.
District legislation in other
channels of the Senate includes
the 1887 appropriation bill, which
will be brought up in conference
today, and the bill to repeal the
RED Rider" This latter bill also
is being held up to await action
on a similar measure in the
House. .|,,

TENSION MARKS
OPENING OF
MEETING
Glass Blocks T e X an.
In His Request to
Explain Slash

Senate and House conferees on
the 1887 District appropriation
bill met today for the opening
Of a battle at which almost any.
thing might happen.
Despite the fact that Senator
Elmer Thomas CD Of Oklahoma,
chairman, has announced that he
does not expect there will be
any controversy, circumstances
point to bitter argument which
may result in passing up the bill.
In this instance the House and
Senate will agree to a continuing
resolution which will leave the
District finances in the same Sits
uation as they are today. AL
though this would guarantee the
city a much better budget than
the items in the House bill would
provide it will wipe out any new
appropriations.
Senate Group Firm
The statement made by Senate
conferees that they would remain
firm on the bill as it was rewritten
by them promises to give the Dis.
trict a $5,700,000 Federal contri-
button and the health item, which
were approved by the Budget
Bureau.
The House originally set the
Federal contribution at $2,700, 900
and cut the health item, along
with the majority of other appro-
priations in the bill, way below
the budget estimate. Besides the
restoration of the aforementioned
items, the Senate also added more
than 81 ,000, 900 to the bill as passed
by the House.
When the conference began be-
hind closed doors today all the
conferees were present except Sen
ator William H. King CD Of
Utah, and Representative ]. Will
liam Otter RO of Pennsylvania.
The confereeS present were Sem
ator Thomas, Senator Royal s.
Copeland CD of New York, Sen.
ator Carter Glass CD of Virginia,
Senator Henry w. KeyeS (RO Of
New Hampshire, Senator Gerald
P. Nye (RO of North Dakota, Rep
resentative Clarence Cannon CD
of Missouri, Representative George
w. johnson CD of West Virginia,
Representative Bernhard M. Jacob.
sen CD of Iowa and Representa-
tive Thomas L. Blanton CD Of
Texas.
Glass Blocks Speech
The tense atmosphere of the con-
ference room was heightened by
the fact that while the Senate sub
committee was considering the
bill the Texas member requested
an opportunity to explain his
views. Senator Glass Immediately
raised opposition to the request
on the grounds that the Senate
did not need any help to write its
own bills. The Texans request
was refused.

Lack Of Skilled Labor

at Glenn Dale. Md. was revealed
by District officials yesterday.
Engineer Commissioner Dan I.
Sultan said he did not yet fear
enough delay in completion Of the
projects to prolong their opening
but the pressure Of competition
for skilled building men from pri-
vate contractors might eventually
slow up the work.

C0LLADAY
Party Split Due to Be
Taken to National
Meet, Is Belief

Edward F. Colladay, Republican
national committeeman for the
District, will probably be unSeated
at the State convention tomorrow
night, a spokesman for the ma
jority group in the party said to-
day.
Declaring that the majority are
tired Of Mr.. Colladay's attempts
to dominate" the party here, the
spokesman said no candidate has
been picked to succeed the COM
mitteman. but that any good can
didate mot under Colladay domi-
nation" would be satisfactory to
the majority.
In this event, it was forecast,
Mr.. Colladay would appeal the
matter to the national committee
at the convention at Cleveland
next month. Mr.. Colladay took
a walk" at a State party meeting
last night, leading a group of %
leaders from the meeting after his
objections had been overruled.
Rover Heads Group
At the meeting last night Leo
A. Rover, former United States at
torney for the District, was
elected party chairman for the
next four years. Tomorrow night
the tate convention will select the
three delegates to the Cleveland
convention and a new national
committeeman and com mittee
woman.
The question Of the candidacy
Of Governor Landon, Of Kansas,
for the Presidential nomination is
not an issue in this case, the local
spokesman declared, since the Dis
trict delegates will go uninStructed
to the convention.
Blame for the rift in the party
ranks was laid by the spokesman
directly to Mr.. olladay. He said {:
"Mr. COlladay wanted to 70
to the convention both as ma
tiOnal committeeman and as
delegate. This SmackS too much

majority are opposed to this &C

Hold "Rump" Meet
The Colladay minority group
held a trump convention" fol-
lowing their withdrawal last
night, electing James C. Wilkes
as chairman and Clyde D. Gar
rett as secretary.
Pointing out that the major
ity is seeking party harmony, the
spokesman said that last niglrS
they elected a number of Cola
day supporters who had with
drawn with the leader.
In threatening to appeal the
case to the national convention,
Mr.. Colladay charged the major
ity group with "Tammany-like"
tactics, asserting that if one dele.
gate had not been unseated and
two ballots thrown out his group
would have been returned to power.
Majority leaders expressed the
belief Mr.. Colladay will make the
same objections tomorrow night,
and that in event they are again
overruled will hold a minority
meeting, select his own slate and
then apepal the matter to the
national convention,
