Much Work Accomplished by the House and Senate
Washington reports detail a morning session where the Senate heard the annual Secretary Shaw report and the governor-general of Cuba orders. In the House Speaker Henderson named Shepherd of Texas to the public buildings committee, and a committee of the whole reviewed Cannon’s $50,100 appropriation for the anthracite commission with a favorable report expected. Attorney General Knox urged a new building for his department and higher judicial salaries, while the judiciary committee referred trust bills to a subcommittee chaired by Littlefield of Maine. The anti trust bill by Littlefield remains paused. The Senate received news that Virginia members elected under a new constitution will have the next Congress discuss disenfranchisement. The Senate tariff debate on the Philippines proposed 25 percent of the Dingley rate. The Senate territory committee recommended against the omnibus statehood bill, favoring Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one state with safeguards for Indians and polygamy. In Washington the Panama Canal talks with Colombia's Senor Herran advanced, focusing on compensation after a revenue study. Treasury officials are likely to place Cuban children with Mrs Tingley under a priestess’s care, amid questions about her residency and moral standing, with the Treasury declining further comment.
