Newspaper Page TextUP TO THE HOUSE! CASH FOR JETTY. Senate Votes Money for Prcserva tion of Columbia Jetty. $400,000 WITHOUT OPPOSITION Strugglo Will Come In House to Avoid Loading of Bill With Other Pro jects, Which Would Kill II. Washington, Mnrch 10. Senator Fulton's bill appropriating $400,000 tor the Columbia river Jetty vent through the senate yesterday without tho slightest objection. Soon ntter tho senate convened Air. Fulton asked (or consideration o( tho bill. It was read and passed without a Word of opposi tion. 'When tho house rivers and harbors committee returns from the South Mr. Fulton's bill will bo laid before it, and it Kill then bo decided whether to press this bill individually or wait and sup port lite amondment to tho sundry civil bill. If it shall become apparent that there is no possibility of pawing the individual bill through the house, then every effort will bo centered on Induc ing tho house to retain tho amendment to the sundry civil bill. There is danger, heretofore pointed out by Chairman Burton, that any in dividual bill making an appropriation for tho Columbia river in apt to bo added to by various members until it becomes a general river and harbor bill, but it is possible that some way may be devised of preventing this. If so, Mr. Burton will have tho senate bill reported to tho house, for he is earnestly supporting Mr. Fulton in this matter and will do everything possible to get tho appropriation through. WILL BAR CONSUMPTIVES. All President Orders Examination of Government Employes. Washington, March 10. A crusade against the spread of tuberculosis among the employes of the govrenment In Washington was today discussed by President Roosevelt, who issued an order to the heads of all departments giving them explicit instructions as to their dutiea in combating the disease After referring to the report of the committeo appointed by an executive order of December 7, 1005, to prepare a plan for the jueveutioa oftaWfea- rByjwyrlaf tovjmtmmtyeMr flwid week- JelKISH3BW'iH ititWtmMimimilmWiMliSLom P'WiTMtKWpaKteHfulea " pre pared by the committee shall be placed in eaca federal building under his con trol; that tho names of persons in his department who are a ill ic ted with tu berculosis be ascertained and a copy of the rules be presented to each; that non-observance of the rules may, at the discretion of the department head, be cousidered Just cause for separation from the serivce. Provision Is Made In Amondmont to Sundry Civil Bill. Washington, March 0. The aeuato committeo on commurco today voted unanimously to report favorably Sen ator Fulton 's amondmont to tho sun dry civil bill, appropriating $400,000 for continuing tho work on tho Colum bia rlvor Jetty, witli a view to Its pre servation unt'l congress shall horcattor mako provision (or its completion. On advice of Senator Fryo, chairman ot tho committeo, Mr. Fulton did not at tempt to amend his amondmeut, as recommended by tho secretary of war, so as to authorixo contracts to com ploto tho Jetty, to its full projected length, becauso it was" universally agreed that any such change would certainly defeat tho entire amondment and kill tho $400,000 appropriation' which now seems within graip. Rather than run this risk, Mr. Fulton asked for a favorbalo report merely on his amendment as originally drawn. The commerco committee, before act ing, gavo a hearing to Mr. Fulton, who ai somo icngm pointed out tlio neces sity (or the adoption ot his amendment, showing that, unless tho money is pro vlded, more than a mile of uncom pleted Jetty will bo entirely lost, be cause ot the certain destruction of the tramways. Unless his amendment is adopted, Mr. Fulton declared tho tram way would be utterly destroyed by teredos during tho coming season, and, onco tho tramway is gono, tho halt finished portion of the Jetty will be ab solutely lost, because it will bo impos sible to build new trestles over unfin ished rock work. This loss, he said, would cost tho government fully $500.- 000, and would set back woik on tho jetty not less than two years. He showed that good buslneeb principles demand that tho Incomplete work bo protected, and this can only bo done by the immediate expenditure of $400, 000, as explained by the army engin eers. Tho committee was thoroughly con vinced of the advisability of making this appropriation, and assured Mr. Fulton that it would individually and collectively aid him in securing the adopt.on ot his amendment. While the committee is not favorable to making appropriations for new river and harbor work at this session, it re gards this project as an extreme emer gency. To Increase tho chances cf get ting this appropriation, the committee authorized a favorable rep irt on an oricinal hill. IiUuiULI In irm ltl.

StlB-AasMMir AflllrrtrTTmorA Minmlltaa ami extremely friendly to Columbia river improvement, is an enthusiastic supporter of Mr. Fulton's amendment. He, like other members of the commit tee, believes the action of tho commit tee today makes it absolutely certain that the senate will attach the amend ment to tho sundry civil bill, but real izes that a fight will come when the bill goes back to the bouse.

Burr, of New York, a member of the board of consulting engineers, ap peared before the senate committeo on interoceanlc canals to discuss the type of canal to he constructed across the Isthmus of Panama. He said that since the report wu prepared, his re flections convince him more than ever that n sea-level canal was more feasible than a leck canal. The witness wan examined at length concerning tho control of the Chagres river, and declared that tho solution of the problem presented was entirely feasible. He declared he could see no reason why a sea-level canal should not 1)0 constructed in ten years, as no doubtful engineering feaia were con templated in tho majority plan.
