If Congress in the next thirty day re-enacts the Army appropriation bill as it passed at the last session, sub- sequently failing through the Presi- dent’s “pocket veto,” actual construc- tion of a new conduit for increasing Washington's water supply may start this summer, it was stated last night. ‘The Army bill carried an initial ap- propriation of $200.000 for the water supply project, as outlined by Col. M. C. Tyler, District engineer officer. This amount was to be expended on preliminary requirements. Col. Tyler has not been idle since the last Congress adjourncd. An- ticipating the special Congress con- vening tomorrow would repass the Army bill with the water supply item included, he has made plans for expediting the preliminary work. with a view to issuing specifications for bids late in the summer, if possible. Engineers Ready. It is known the District engineer office is considering having the con- duit constructed in sections, prob- ably by several contractors, so that the utmost speed may be made to- ward its completion. This probably is the most impressive indication that has yet been given that Army en- gineers see a real menace to Wash- ington in the water situation. Members of Congress who were in- strumental in getting the water item tacked onto the Army bill will be on the alert to sec that it remains in the measure. In the House, Repre- sentatives Zihlman of Maryland and Moore of Virginia were two of the most _active supporters of the pro- posed legislation.

In its stead, President Harding will issue a new executive order establish- ing a “real merit system” and plac- ing the postal system on a strict business basis While IPostmaster General Hays has been telling the newspaper men and the members of Congress who have been besieging him for a decision on which to base their replies to can- didates that no decision has been reached, he three weeks ago showed pretty plainly what may be expected. Purpose of Hays. Mr. Hays said: “My purposes are, first, to make such rectifications as in all decency and fairness must be made to assure a square deal; sec- ondly, to strengthen and broaden the civil service at every point where- ever possible to the end that merit may govern: thirdly, wity absolute fidelity to put the entire postal serv- ice upon a purely business basis, so sound and so serviceable that no political party will ever again dare at- tempt to ignore or evade it ultimately. Representative Simeon D. Fess of Ohio, chairman of the congressional campaign committee, has taken a referendum of the republican- mem- bers of Congress as to what they thought the policy of the republican administration should be. A report on this referendum has been made to Postmaster General Hays. In an executive conference yester- day, called by Postmaster General Hays, a sincere desire to cure the prostitution of the merit system was the Kevnote.

COMMITTEES' SIZE MAY CAUSE FIGHT Senate Democrats Consider _lncrease Hampers Work. Gain for Republicans. A contest over the organization of the Senate standing committees, with the democrats in opposition to the effort of ghe republican committee on committees to increase the member- ship of ten major committees from fifteen to sixteen, loomed up last night. During the last Congress the Sen- ate. in an attempt to bring about greater efficiency in its work, cut the number of standing committees from seventy-five to thirty-four, and re- duced the size of the committees so that the largest should be only fif- teen in membership. The republican committee on .com- mittees, after laboring for many days, determined to recommend to the Sen- ate that the size of ten major com- mittees be increased to sixteen, add- ing one senator to each committee. The committée will propose an ‘|amendment to the rules authorising the increase in' the size of ten com- mittees and formal notice of the pro- posed amendment will be given to- morrow. § It was believed that the proposal would go through without opposition until last night, when the democrats evinced a decided disinclination to join with their republican colleagues n the change. In the first place, the democrats believe that it will be a step back- ward, and will tend to bring about the old" interlocking of committees. In the second:place, the democrats are inclined to object because the wepublicans in phoviding ten new places on the major éommittees, have given them all to republican sen- ators, and none to democratic sen- ators. : The contest may delay the organ- ization of the Senate for several days. % BROTHER KILLS BROTHER.

If the Vice President refers them to the civil service com- mittee, then Senator Smoot or Senator ‘Warren may be expected to move that they be referred to the appropriations committee. | There is not a little feeling over this matter of jurisdiction. Senator Sterling contends that the reclassi- fication of the government employes is a legislative matter and should be referred to the legislative committee, rather than to the general appropria- tions committee. The opponents of this plan argue that the appropria- partments, including the salaries of the government employes, and should handle the reclassification. Employes Backing Sterling. The Federation of Federal Employ: | is backing the Sterling faction in the Senate. Telegrams have begun to come to senators from their home States, signed by the locals of the federation in those states Senator Smoot has already discussed the matter of reclassification with President Harding and will do so again. The President. it is known. is taking an interest in the matter Senator Sterling plans to talk with Representative Lehlbach of New Jer- sey, chairman of the House civit service committee. before introducing his bill, in the hope that Mr. Lehl- bach will agree to introduce a simi- lar bill in the House. During the last Congress, the re classification bills were referred in the House to the civil service com mittee and not to the appropriations committee. In ‘the Senate, however, {the measures along with the report of the joint commission on reclassifi- cation were sent to the appropriations committee. Senator Sterling started his fight to have the reference chang- ed in the last few days of the last session. But in the jam over legisla- tion at the close of the session he was unable to get a change of reference. _ SLAIN BY U. S. OFFICER. Lieut. B. G. Techer Kills Man Who Shot at Him. PUNTA GORDA, Fla.
