"3 SUBURBAN HIGHWAys. ‘The Bin Providing fore Uniform System Agreed To. FULL TEXT OF THE MEASURE AS IT WILL GO TO! THE PRESIDENT FOR SIGNATURE—HOW HIGH- ‘WAYS MAY BE CONDEMNED AND DAMAGES 4s- SESSED AXD AWARDED. Mr. Harris today reported to the Senate the conference report on Senate bill No. 1807, “To they provide a permanent system of highways in that part of the District of Columbia lying out- side of cities,"’ and it was adopted without de- bate. The report having been adopted by the Mr. Hemphill in presenting the report to the House submitted statement of the House conferees as follows: Statement to accompany the report of the House conferees on the disagreeing votes of the tro hones: on the ya to Senate bill No. 1907, “To ‘® permanent system of highways in that part of the District of Co- lumbia lying outside of cities.” ‘The most material amendment of the Houre | to which tha Senate objected relates to the pay- ment of damages assessed for the condemna- taken for the purposes of high- ways, &c. The Senate ill, as it originally came to the House, provi it one-third of the damages so assessed should be put upon the lands abutting en the highway. The House changed this by providing that the amount awarded as in any case of con- demnation should be assessed wholly upon the land benefited thereby, or upon the lands and the District of Cotumbin, as the court should adjudge, and that the amount assessed inat the District of Columbia should be paid ex- | clusively from the revenues thereof. Sen- ate insists that the proportion to be paid in ench case by the Dis and the property owners respectively should be definitely fixed | in the law, and insists on making it half to each, and the House conferees recommend agreement thereto. ‘The second and third amendments relate to the same point, and are made to harmonize the | bill with the change proposed in the first. The fourth amendment of the House was | designed to exempt the United States from all liability for any expense in connection with street, reservation or circle or other improv ment onteide of the cities of Washington and Georgetown. ‘The conferees on the part of the Senate in- | sist that this exemption is too broad, ar | would apply to the Washington aqueduct, the reservations on which its reservoirs are located and apply to any and ail kinds of improvements | now existing or hereafter to be made in the Dis- trict outside of the cities under authority of Congress. The amendment has been amended +o | ‘as to provide that no expenses incurred for the improvement of any street, circle, reservation | or avenue laid out under the provisions of this act outside the cities of Washington and | town shall be chargeable to the United | States treasury, but sball be paid entirely out | of the revenues of the District of Colamiia, | ‘The fifth amendment of the House is ren- dered unnecessary by those agreed on by the conferees and recommended for the approval of the House, and your conferees recommend that the House recede from the same. ‘The Senate recedes from its disagreement to the sixth amendment of the House, with the following amendment: “In case the court shall enter judgment of condemnation in any case and appropriation is not made by Congress for the payment of such award within the period of six months, Congress being in session for that time after such award, or for the period of six months after the meeting of the next ses- sion of Con the proceedings shall be void and the land shall revert to the owner.” ‘This amendment is to provide against the act becoming inoperative by reason of Congress | not being in session in time to give effect to its terms relating to the appropriation of the money necessary to satisfy awards made against the District of Columbia. ‘The seventh amendment of the House was de- signed to give preference in the opening of streets and avenues to those localities in which the greatest areas of ground might be dedicated for such use. Your confereesagree with those of the Senate that such provision might compel the of some streets and avenues in prefer- ence to others in which the Panis hed s mach more important interest. t in this regard the Commissioners should be allowed discretion in this work greater than would thus be given them, to select for first attention those sections @emanded by the best interests of the public. We therefore recommend that the House recede from the amendment. ‘The eighth and ninth amendments are ren- dered unnecessary by reason of the changed shraseology and form of the bill as made by the amendments already recommended, and your conferees therefore recommend that the House rececle from the same. MR, BLOUNT SATISFIED. Mr. Hemp*ill said that the report as pre- sented provided that the cost of any improve- | ments that may hereafter be made under this | act outside the cities of Washington and town in the way of improvement or per eteet of streets isto be ee) to the revenue of the District of Columbia. Mr. Blanchard—Does thix bill define the present limits of the city of Washington? ‘Mr. Hemphill—No, sir. Those have already been defined and nothing in this bill makes any chat in that respect. Mr Blount, referring to the provision that all expense involved is chargeable to. the revenues of the District, said this removed the ground of his former objection. He remarked that he believed this was a step in advance, as it recog- nized the objection made to the principle on which District expenditures had been divided between ‘the municipal and federal government. There ‘That matter, however, bad never come be- fore the Honse in such a form as would enable ‘the to bring about a change of polics that gard.

A Treasury Clerk Who Never Heard of Mulberry Sellers Lent Him Money. Father Columbia was not in the best of spir- its when he appeared in the Police Court this morning, after spending several days and | nights in jail. Although Judge Kimball had held him on a charge of being a suspicious person he was still ready to aay “not guilty” to the additional charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. Mr. J. K. White of the supervising architect's office of the treasury charged that le perted with £25, whieh he gave to Fatuer Colombia under alleged faise pretenses. Witness told of hmving met the defendant at the hotel where he resided and heard. bim tell of his immense wealth. Among other things | Father Columbia told him of scheme to loan money to government clerks and he also showed him a letter purporting to be signed by Bourke Cockran, stating that be wanted quarters for Richard Croker, himself and others for the inauguration. Witness loaned him €25 on the strength of his representations. Father Columbia bad told him that he was interested in a California vine- yard and he wanted money to pay freight. Judge Miller questi r. White, aski him if he did not think was a Mulberry a had no opinion to express, as he said he had never heard of Col.
