NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1914. JARBOR MEASURE 1S SIDETRACKED onnecticat Members: Belicve Meas- 6 Wil be Passed:at This Sessien. (Special to the Herald.) Washington, July 25.—The de- ion of the caucus of democratic Bnators the other night to lay aside he Tiver and harbor bill in favor of e administration’s antietrust {pro- ram, as was foretold by Senator andegee last Tuesday, has almost pnvinced the friends of that mea- pre that there is but slight chance pr that bill to be enacted at this ssion of congress, notwithstanding he assertion of Senator Simmons of orth Carolina, majority leader in he senate, that consideration of the iver and harbor .bill would be re- imed following the passage of the Pust program. ‘When this statement repeated to Senator Burton, who leading the fight against the bill, said that “‘Senators would be wear- fur caps and overcoats before the ver and harbor bill would be passed ¥' the senate.” | Senator Burton declares . that the ending measure is of the ‘“pork bar- Bl” variety and carries large appro- riations for communities, prin- pally in the south and southwest, hat have little or no real merit. One \‘the projects that Senator Birton tacked viciously is the Trinity river Texas. Parts of this stream are jty and it was shown in the debate hat a trolley company wanted a por- in. of the river bed for a right of , and that the district army en- ineer recommended drilling of ar- slan wells to supply water for the ipposed stream. _ Conspiracy in Attack. | Representative Barchfeld of Penn- variia, a member of the house pmmittee on rivers n asked his opinion of the sit- ition, said: “I can see a conspir- in this attack on the bill, a well- ld plot, carefully thought out. You lust remember that Senator rton léaving congress and that he is mbitious to leave in a blaze of glory, h the reputation of defeating a ver and harbor bil! which he had BOOK ON .

[ 118 West 31st Street New York and harbors | denounced cas a ‘pork barrel’ sure.” The decision of the caucus to side track the bill has alarmed members of the house, who see in it the de- feat of the bill. It is feared that the bill will be defeated and leave the engineers without funds to con- tinue improvements already under way. In this connection Represen- tative J. Hampton Moore of Phil- adelphia, said yesterday: “The fail- ure of the river and harbor bill, in- stead of saving money for the gov- ernment, will result in great damage, delay and financial loss. ‘We can- not stop work on great river and harbor improvements without waste of time and money, the consequences of which are not to be calculated. Some of us are not yet convinced that the bill will not pass.” General Exodus Predicted. Those opposed to the bill, ever, say they are willing to remain in Washington indefinitely before they will allow such an appropriation bill to become a law, and it is the general opinion that as soon as the president’s anti-trust bills are passed there will be a general exodus from Washington and the river and har- bor bill will be lost sight of. In his remarks yesterday on the bill Senator Burton gave a list of rivers under improvement upon wnich the traffic had declined. Among others he mentioned the Connecticut river below Hartford where the aver- age traffic from 1890 to 1895 was 1,041,000 tons per year had declined 80 that during the year 1912 there was but 617,981 tons, a decrease from the average of 423,091 tons per year. The traffic on the Paucatuck river between Connecticut and Rhode Is- land declined from 167,668 tons in 1905 to 55,522 in 1912. The Connecticut members of the house expressed the belief that the bill will become a law at this ses- sfon. mea- how- HAVE HALF DAY REST. Lawn Tennis Players to Resume Matches This Afternoon.
