PROSPECT FOR BUSY
WEEK IN CONGRESS
Future Legislation Depends on
Action of the. House During
the Week.
ashlngton A busy week It Id
pro pec t (or both house of Congress
and tt is like!? that before the aeek
ends the calendar will be cleared for
several of the important matters now
pending; and the dute fixed for the
final adjournment. The president has
cancelled all outof town engagements
for the near future and will probably
remain in the capital until the session
ends.
The situat'on In the House ia the
key to the entire tariff tangle in Con
tress. Vpon the action of the House
this week rests the possibility of fur
ther tariff legislation at this session.
6peaker Clark expressed confidence
that a wool bill would be agreed on in
conference and that it would be
signed by the president. Other
House leaders, however, adopted a
more pessimistic view of the presi
dent's attitude and expect him to
Teto any wool bill framed by the pres.
nt Democrat-insurgent Republican
coalition in the Senate.
Coalition Threatens General Revision.
The coalition of Pemocrats and in
surgent Republicans which bowled
over the regular organization and
passed a compromise bill for the revi
sion of the woolen tariff by IS to 32.
flushed with victory. Is threatening
not only to pass the so-called "fainv
ers' free list bill." as It came from
the House, but to put through a cotton
bill as well. The insurgents want the
Sugar and st?el schedules included in
the program.
Two-Thirds Vote Lacking.
In the event the president should
veto the final conference wool bill, the
Democrat c leaders will begin calcu
lations as to whether the bill can be
passed by the House over the presi
dent's veto. The Underwood bill
passed the House on June "0 by a
Tote of 220 to 100. But to pass over
a veto two-thirds of the House mem
bership of 391 must vote for the bill.
This wouM be 261, or 41 more than
went on re-cord for tile orignal bill in
the House. There is nothing so far to
warrant counting on the muster of any
self added strength.
It is clear that the House will nt
be in a hurry to ask for a conference.
The Senate wool bill, when it is taken
up In the House, will be promptly re
jected and sent back to the Senate.
It will remain for that body to ask for
a conference comm'ttee.
Entrymen May Take More Land.
Congressman Mondell has Just se
cured from Secretary Fisher a very
Important interpretation of the 320
cre homestead law, making It possi
ble fcr entrymen who have taken lees
than the max'mura under that law to
enter now additional land up to the
full amount. Heretofore the Interior
Department tas held a directly oppo
site view.
New instructions, embodying the
changed interpretation of the law, will
be sent to ail land offices. Members
of Congress have received thousands
of complaints from entrymen who de
sire to take up additional tracts un
der this law, who have only filed on
160 acres.
National Capital Brevities.
The government has dee ded to ap
peal the Harriman merger case to the
Vnited States supreme court.
Fines of $500 to $5000 for each of
fense for sending intoxicants from one
State to another are provided In a bill
Introduced by Representative Jackson,
of Kansas.
Unsatisfactory conditions in the na
tional banks, accord'ng to Controller
of the Currency Lawrence O. Murray,
are due, in nearly every case, to the
failure of the directors to direct. In a
letter to the national bank examiners,
Just made public, Murray implored
them to be more stringent in their ex
aminations. Yourg mpn ambitious to enter the
United States army need not depend
upon a nomination to West Point. So
great is the demand that the Secre
tary of War has issued a general call,
and any young man with good moral
standing, and who can produce let
ters of reference will now be desig
nated for the competitive examina
tion. A bill prohibiting the employment
in any capacity of persons un(Pr 1(i
Jeaj-s of age by the government or any
government contractor and providing
that special delivery lett-r carriers
