.WASrtlNOTON, Dec. 12.TThe emergency
appropriation bill to provide the, lstomian
Canal comrnlHMon .with .tjiefunda .to carry
on the co'hstruction' of the Panama canal
will contala no general legislation.- This
'was derldi'xl by the senate committee on
appropriation at a meeting lasting all 01
today and at which It was agreed to re
port the measure appropriating $ll,M)0,ouo,
the amount named by the house, bill. The
tlrst section ,of the bill, In relation to the
issuance of ' bonds, ' was 'stricken out.
A bill containing this feature was Intro
duced 'in the senate by Mr. (Teller and It
will be dealt with by the flnanco commit
tee. The bill wa. amended further to
provide that' In the future, no expenditures
shall be made for the canal exoept . by
authority of congress and when approprla-'
tlons have been made by congress.
Taft aad gbouts tealoned.
Secretary 'Taft of the War department,
Theodere P. Shonts, chairman of the canal
commission ; Joseph B. Bishop, secretary,
and other, officials of the commission. In
cluding the purchasing agent and the as
sistant purchasing agent were before the
committee and were subjected to pointed
Inquiries a to the niaaner of making ex
penditures. Mr. Taft and Mr. Shonts urged
that; the appropriation be increased to
$18,600,000, the amount named In tha bill, be
fore It was amended in the house. They
admitted', however, thut $11,000,000 would be
sufficient to carry . on the work until
April. In view of the fact that congress
will have plenty of opportunity to legislate
before that tlme.lt waa determined not to
restore the $5,500,000 cut out by the house.
Bishop Explains Datlea.
The examination of Mr. Bishop, who had
been .referred to tn house ilehatcs as a
'press agent," for the commission, waa of
a personal nature In that he was asked to
define his duties. Jt. wa hown that, in
addlv'on to acting as secretary, he Is sort
of a diplomatic agent charged with meeting
any possible contingency that uviy crise.
In tha absence of Mr. Shonts n.l V. Leon
Pepperman,, the assistant chief of admin-
Iteration, i Mr; .Biahop says he assumes
their duties , in Washington even to the
extent of signing checks and that he deal
directly with the secretary ot war- in re
lation to canal matters. He said he wus
tUs -historian for the commission and as
sembled data of air kinds that might be
of use' for any purpose. He admitted that
to some extent this information was used
for the public press. In his capacity of
literary secretary Mr.. Blxhop declared that
ho was not. expected (o create public sen
tlnmnt, but to keen It normal. In explana
tion' he said that there had been a de
termjiied. attempt on (he part of the oppo
sition . Interests to . direct public feeling
againM the canal, and that before he
entered the employ of the government his
service 4iad been sought by . those Inter-
est at more liberal compensation than he
Is now receiving. When asked to name
the opposition Interests, Mr. Bishop specl- ; p., cmnpany, on Highland terrace. Only

House Caacas Statehood.'
The house will dispose of the statehood
question today. The precise manner In
which statehood I to be granted to the
four territories will be set forth In what
Is known a the Hamilton bill, giving state
hood to Arlxona and New Mexico a one
tate and to Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory as knottier. The bill embodies the
minor provisions agreed upon by the con
ference committees of the two bouses at
the lost session of nongresa.
The plan for statehood legislation will be
made speclflo at a republican caucus of
member of the house to be called tomorrow-
fpr . Thursday .afternoon . or: evening.
The committee on territories will meet in
the morning and perfect the bill to hlch
several minor amendment will be made at
the suggestion -of delegate from .Oklahoma
ient here for the purpose.- The bill, how
ever, will not be reported to the house un
til after the caucus action. Besides decid
ing on Its provision It 1 the plan that the
terms of a rule shall be agreed upon In
caucus under which the bill will go through
the house. There Is known to be some re
publican opposition to statehood a pro
posed In the bill, but this opposition la not
regarded a serious:
Rate Legislation Goes Over. .
Railroad rate legislation will be allowed
to rest until after the holidays. Member
of the house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce have agreed to take up
and dispose of less Important - measure
than those affecting rates before the recess.
In the senate aloo there Is a disposition to
let. rate legislation slumber for the time
being. The member of the Interstate .com
merce committee In that body have decided
to hold but one meeting a week before
Christmas and there la a general under
standing that legislation affecting the In
terstate Commerce commission will not be
pushed.
It la likely that several additional rail
way rate bill will be introduced In, both
bodies before the committees are ready to
take up the subject. Chairman Hepburn

bill which he I to Introduce.

Mayor Moores sent in a veto to the ordi

the district boundfetl by Ninth and Thir
teenth, Cass and Capitol avenue and the
council promptly passed th ordinance over

tor explained-that tha rights of other roads

said:
1 return herewith . wKhoat my approval
document No. 4278, nasseid oy your non
orable body at your regular meeting, De
cember S. 1906. -
This document Is an ordinance permitting
the Union Pacific Railroad company to lay
tracks on streets and alleys between Nlntn
and Thirteenth streets and between Capitol
avenue and Cass street. Another ordinance
of similar character, ' Document 427. was
In my hands granting similar privileges to
the Chicago, Burlington ft Qulncy Railway
company to lay track on Uavenpoit street,
and this ordinance I have also returned
with my veto. The -future enlargement of
the wholesale district of Omaha will natur
ally be in the territory contiguous to. these
streets, and it is for the purpose of giving
these railroads aoeess to and control of
this future wholesale district that these or
dinances are presented for passage and ap
proval. - It Is the ambition or every loyal
cltlsen of Omaha that this city shall be
come- the loading -wholesale city of the
transmisslsslDDl region. To accomDllsh this
. result It Is neoessitry that wholesale es

petition in transportation rates it la neces
sary that the different competing roads
should De able to meet upon a rair levw
and make their rates from a common basis.
If one or two roads are to secure an ab
solute monopoly of' the wholesale district
they can charge their competitors such ex-
MW'lw ,wltei lng raUi that competition will
practlcaiiy destroyed. For this reason
! th future orosoeritv of our city reuulres
the future prosperity of our city requires
that no road be siren a monopoly of the
city streets for swltchtracks, but that all
be. allowed to use them Upon fair and
equal term.
City Shoald Coatrol the Traeks.
The Ideal method' of ecuring this com
petition, ot course, would be to have Hie
city build and owa all swltchtracks and
charge all roads on an equal u.is for
switching facilities. . At the present time,
however, this does not seem to lie a feasi
ble plan in view of the enormous expense
which would be eptulleV The only method,
therefore, to secure the desired results In
the granting of privileges for 'ay I rig track
on streets and alleys Is that the ordinances
giving the desired permission kbould pro
vide for tha use of ihe iracks-iry all other
.railroads desiring lo us tt.em upon reason
able charges, the same t be determined by
the city by ordinance in case the in tt rested
parties cannot agree ' -
The city attorney calls my attention to
certain provisions of ordinance No.
reference to which la made Jn.the ordi
nance in question. Section I of that ordi
nance Is as follows: ..
-That - the several railroad uomranles
now having tracks upon any street or al ey
In the city of Omaha. In pursuance of per
mission and authority heretofore granted
under any ordinance of the city, shall have
the right to operate aud maintain such
tracks on that part of the same now ac
tually occupied, subject to the conditions of
this ordinance and subjeet to all general
ordinances now existing or which may here
after be In force concerning railroads or
the use of railroad tracks In said city; pro
vided, however, that all other railroad coin
paniea are allowed to connect and be per
mitted to also use said tracks, or tracks
connecting thervwilA. upon Just and reas

garding tha use thereof, such, terms, corn,
pvtisallon ahd rules to be agreed upon be

companies cannot agree, t i be determined

Such a course would be a-b"dy blow to our

In my Judgment this matter should be1

city with Instructions to so modify the or
dinance as to permit all roads to use the
proposed tracks upon a fair and reasonable
basis.

Another long communication came from
the committee on fire, water and polloe,
embodying the final findings In the Hayden
brothers' building fatality. The report was
adopted and read as follows:

aunng as a Duurd tu Invemiaaie tne con
struction of tne new liuyuen Brotners
buhuing, wnich is now beam erected on
lousing, street, between bixteentn and
ttevemeentn streets, we nave tne luiiowuuf
to rport:
We nnd that the report is aatl.factOrv to
the city ounuina inspector witn tne excep- i
tlon of the matter oi I lie teat of tne Moots
anu tne mauer of placing additional tie
iimis in tne end panels only, in mailing
the test the board does not claim, and no
Wiittiu iiienuuiiK, Iuki tiiey nave lesied tne
tie rods. A load of ,tix pounds was placed
tne arch Is Indicated In toe reooi t. out the
euect that tne load had upon tne tie rod
ls not mentioned, in oruer to test the tie
tods a wnole panel of an ami would have
to be loaded in piace ol loading eignt tool ,
square only. In view of tne tact that ,
tne accident wnlch happened occurred by
tne breaking ot a tie rou It would be emin
ently proper to test tne tie rods in loading
a wnoie panel or an arch ana note tne euect
upon tne tie rod.
We theretore recommend that a test be
made upon one of tne middle arches as
tney now exist, loading the sumo uniformly
ail over to the extent of too pounus to the
equate foot of floor space In addition to
tne tests recommended by the Doara unaer
tne heaalnir of "A" and "B" on lae nve
of their report and that sold test be snowed
to remain lor three days.
Second. The provision in the board' re
port that ail panel abutting stairways or
elevators be re-lnforoed with iron rods
wouid Inversely prohibit the cuttlng-of any
opening for stairways or elevators in the
bunuing in any arcn in tne I inure, ii me
reDurt. therefore. Is accepted the cutting
of any stairway opening, well hole or eleva
tor suatt, in the tuture in tnis Duuoing win
be prohibited. (See the board s report, page
seven, noes lour, nve. six, seven and part of
line eigm ana me liiiiu, iwuhu a-uu mw
lines front the bottom on page three. With
tne exception ot tne above, we recommend
that tne board' report be accepted, subject
to the teata . called for. Including the test
called for in this report.
we now quote entirety irora wio iqi
and recommend that this portion Of the
reiort. be followed and executed:
, ."We find that, sufficient ue roua h
been provided and we therefore recommend
u,.i.i.viiir these floors that In' each
end paneh.oC-ah - poors , gndch panel
abutting upon openings In the floors there
hair be provided a total net section Of tie
rods of six ana. one-nan quun uut-a
steel. . In all other panel we recommend
that thera shall be provided a total net
sectional area of tie rods of three and one-
half Inches of susel. '
Wa tharernra recommend that the load
of all lde wall columns be supported upon
cantilever foundations so aeeigneu mai. mo
wall columns will be supported entirely
within the lot lines of the building. This
will result in a slight reduction In the
loads coming upon the Intermediate column
foundations, and the foundations can all be
so proportioned that a safe bearing pressure
will be -obtained for all footings through
out the building."
Referred to Wlthnell.
To make it effective the following resolu
tion was put through:
That the report of the committee on f re,
water and police and the building inspector
regarding the construction of the Hayden
Bros." building on Douglas street, between
Sixteenth and Seventeenth, streets, as sub
mitted and approved at this meeting, be re
ferred to the building inspector with in
structions to take the necessar- action to
acquaint the' owners of said building with
the contents thereof and to request the said
Hayden Bros, to immediately proceed wlf'i
the alterations and additions called for In
and In compliance therewith.
and to also request them to make, at their
expense, the tests called for In the report of
the special board and also the tests recom
mended In the report of the committee ,on
fire, water and police and the building in
spector.
CoacernlasT Food Aaalyels.
A opposed to establishing a city labora
tory for the analysis ot fluids and (ood
tuffs the committee on gre, water and
police reported In favor of contracting for
the, work for 12.000 annually. The ugges
tlon wa approved by the council, but no
other steps taken.
A. resolution was adopted directing the
city clerk to advertise tor bid for supply
ing the city with iSO gas; gasoline, electric
or any other kind of lamps for us In the
outlying districts, the contract to run from
two to five years. This was done because
the I7.M0 contract for 20 Welabach burner
gasoline lamp expires with the end of the
year, and It is necessary to maae a new
deal. The ' door are thrown open to all
competition. '
AdJatia-"r. Geaeral Fuad.'
The last reservations were taken from the
delinquent tax accumulation for the first
three- months of 19US by directing the comp
troller lo "adjust" the general fund so that
unpaid, bills of the current year may be
met from the money. The course has been
pronounced legal by the legal department.
An ordinance waa Introduced to give per
mission to W. H. Burnham to build a steef
and concrete platform twenty feet In the
street on Karnsm and Ninth streets around
the new eight-story building that la to be
erected for the I'rIUd States Supply com-
