THE. JCORXHfG OmBGOXELK. JSTOMiiT,. AMIL 14, i9Q. All OF ONE OPINION Committee- Reports Jetty BiH Unanimously. ITS PASSAGE NOW ASSURED Langfltt's Statements ncmovc All Doubt, and Jonas "Will Father Measure Amendments Will Be Shut Out by Itulcs. ORBGOJCIAX NEWS BUREAU. "Wash ington. D. C. April 13. The House Com mittee on Rivers and Harbors today voted unanimously to ravorably report the bill appropriating $400,000 for continuing the construction of the Jetty at the mouth of the Columbia River. Representative Jones "was directed to make the report. This action was taken after Major Langfltt had submitted to the committee his charts and drawings explained in these dispatches yesterday. The show ing made was so strong as to com'Jnce every member of the committee of the ad visability of Immediately making this ap propriation. The committee reported the Jones bill, which Is Identical In c'ery re ppect with Senator Fulton's bill that passed the Senate several weeks ago..be causo several members believed appro proprlatlon bills should originate In the House. Once the House passes tho Jones bill, the Senate will readily pass it. Inas much as It Is identical with the Fulton bill previously passed by that body. There Is every reason to believe this bill will soon pass the House. The report will be printed immediately, and soma time tomorrow Mr. Fulton and Mr. Jones will call on tho Speaker to get him to agree to let the bill be called up for con sideration and vote. Mr. Jones believes he will bo allowed to call the bill up under suspension of tho rules on Monday. If .he-ean do this he will successfully shut off all amendments and probably secure prompt passage of the bill. If the bill la not brought up Monday, Mr. Jones will ask unanimous consent for Its consider ation at an early date. In that event the bill will not be subject to amendments. Tho Ktrong attitude of the committee In Indorsing the bill In its present shape and objecting to all amendments will go a long way toward Insuring Its passage by the House, for the passage of this Indi vidual bill will not open the way to the passage of other river and harbor appro priations, as was feared a few days ago.
