Thursday, March 18.
Washington, March 18.— The census
bill in its amended form was passed by
the house today after a lively attack
on tbe rules by DaArmond, o f Mis­
souri. The bill was passed at tbe late
session, but was vetoed by President
Roosevelt, because o f his objections to
tbe provision taking from the civil
service commission the power o f ap­
pointing the clerks.
In order to prevent the spread o f tu­
berculosis among government clerks,
the house agreed to an amendment by
Bennett o f N ew York, requiring that
each censúa applicant furnish with his
application a certificate o f good health.
