Senator Jones of Washington had held the floor the entire night opposing the bill. He began his address late yesterday when a parliamentary struggle dls« losed the fact that the democrats were j!gain In control of a majority vote of the Senate, the mobilization of their forces having been completed with the arrival of Senators Xewlands and Smith of South arolina.

Senator Jones id spoken thirteen hours and fifty-five ..inutes. having taken the floor at 6:45 p.m. yesterday. His only relief during i.e night came through the efforts to get a quorum, which consumed one hour and forty-five minutes. The speech was surpassed for length only by that of Senator La Follette, who spoke eighteen hours and twenty minutes against the Aldrich-Vreeiand urrency law, and by Senator Burton, vho spoke over fourteen hours on the river and harbor measure last session. After the quorum was obtained Sena:or McCumber began to speak at 8:50 o'clock. Throughout the night the democrats ade few efforts to interrupt Senator Jones. Anterooms of the Senate chamber had been hastily fitted with cots tnd blankets, and in these senators -natched a few hours of sleep. Senator Fletcher, in charge of the shipping bill, emained at his desk all night, stretch1 ^ut over two chairs and dozing fitone or two of his democratic colleagues and an equal number of republicans were always in the chamber.

During the debate on the motion the roll was called several times and the largest number of senators to respond was fifty.

I t ) UTILITIES BODY CALLS JITNEYSJPUBUC HACKS Commission Favors Advent of New Transportation, Hoping It Will Improve Conditions. When the jitney bus conies to Washington it will be treated by the public utilities commission as engaging in a public hacking business and will not I be considered a common carrier. This decision of policy affecting the threatened invasion o^ Washington of the newest device in the line of transportation facilities was reached by the commission at a board session today. It is known that all the members of the utilities board look with favor upon the advent of the jitney bus, as they are desirous of seeing what this experiment can do in the direction of improving traffic conditions iri the capital. That their decision will lead to the establishment of a number of public hack stands is declared to be probable. Seek School Patronage. Efforts are being made by the officers of the Jitney Bus Association of Washington to interest the department stores and schools of Washington in the advantages of the jitney bus. Letters were sent out this morning from the headquarters of the association seeking indorsement of the project and proposing a sort of special car service for the students when they are contemplating trips to the theater or other downtown places. "The jitney," says the letter, "will call at your school, collect the passengers, place them promptly at the door of their destination and return them at such a time as is desired; all for the 6-cent fare each way." Company Shows Profit. Another letter also was sent out today to the garages of the city and to automobile agencies in an effort to interest them in the service. Figures of the operation of local railroad companies are cited in an effort to show t.ie profit in the operation of a jitney bus. "The litnev i«s horo tr» otuv n-Au. » per." says this letter, "and we predict some routes will, within six months, have a bonus valuation of from 5500 to $1,000, and upon the strength of our understanding, and kn- .ledge of these valuations, we expect to ultimately furnish all co-operators, a one style twelve-seated bus on credit at cost, plus 10 per cent, and carrying charges to be paid for at the rate of 55 per day and interest." DECLARED GUILTY BY JURY. Max Hirschman Is Convicted on a Charge of Robbery. Max Hirschman was convicted late yesterday afternoon by a jury before Chief Justice Covington in Criminal Division 1 of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia on a charge of robbery. John D. Hill alleged that he lost $15 while in the company of the defendant and other young men. The chief justice increased the bail of Hirschman to 51.5000. The testimony showed-that a group of young men engaged in a crap game on the White Lot September 18 last and later continued the game in the Senate office building, after midnight. Hill claimed he was relieved of the money as they were leaving the building. The defendant denied taking the money and declared that the money was lost in the game and that he also had been a loser. Assistant United States Attorney Hawken represented the government. Attorneys Robert I. Miller and Thomas M. Baker appeared for the defendant. Donation Party at Martha Home. Arrangements have been made for a housewarming and donation party at the Martha Home, 420 3d street northwest, tomorrow from 4 to 9 o'clock. The purpose of the home, which is nonsectarian, it is explained, is to furnish board and lodging for women. Members of the board of managers are Miss Nannie K. Riggs, Miss Rafaela Acosta, Mrs. Samuel E. Forman, Miss Julia H. Laskey, Mrs. Maurice F. Talty, Miss Elizabeth J. Moore and Mrs. Lineas D. Underwood.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., February 9. .The packing: firms of Armcur & Co., Swift & Co., the St. Louis Dressed Beef and Provision Company, the Hammond Packing: Company and Morris & Co. were found guilty of violating: the state anti-trust law by the Missouri supreme court today. An order of ouster was issued, but the companies are allowed to remain in the state on payment of fines. Each comapny was fined $25,000. The opinion was written by Judge R. F. Walker and was concurred in by all the other judges except Judge Blair, who was assistant attorney general when the ouster suit was filed and con- sequently did not sit in this case. Must Pay Fine by March 11. To stay in the state each company must pay its fine by March 11. The ouster suit against the so-called "beef trust" was filed by Gov. Major when he was attorney general. Daniel Dillon of St. Louis was appointed) commissioner to take testimony in the case and he reported to the supreme court that the companies had violated the anti-trust law. The case was argued in the supreme court more than a year ago. CAMPAIGN IS UNDERTAKEN. Howard Park Citizens' Association to Increase Membership. Plans for an extensive campaign to increase the membership of the asso- elation to 200 by the March meeting were announced by the chairman of the committee on membership and publicity of the Howard Park Citizens* Association at its meeting last evening in the Church of Our Redeemer. 8th street near Barry place. Members in attendance unanimously indorsed the program. J. H. Bagley, the vice president, was in the chair. The secretary was directed to forward to the District Commissioners a petition for the installa- tion or a puonc comrort siation at itn street and Florida avenXie northwest. The association also voted unanimously to address to the proper officials a pro- test against the passage of the Clark bill establishing "jim crow" street! cars. The committee on street improve-' ments reported the accomplishment of needed repairs on 5th and t»th streets near the Freedmen's Hospital, and the organization decided to ask the removal of the old Mott School building, said to have been condemned long ago, as apparently beyond repair and to be a gathering place of undesirable characters. BANKER SHOOTS HIMSELF. John S. Button of La Plata, Md., Brought Here to Hospital. John S. Button, who has served as cashier of the Southern Maryland National Bank at La Plata, Md., for the past twelve years, shot himself in the head while in his bedroom yesterday morning.

Declares Proposed Location Inappronriatp ftTld Wnf TTamtftnvr WH1, Improvement Plan. Preceding an attempt to strike from the sundry civil bill the appropriation of $1,500,000 for the new Department of the Interior building. Representative Cooper of Wisconsin late yesterday afternoon severely criticised the location of the proposed building in the square bounded by E and F streets, 18th and 19th streets northwest. The ensuing discussion brought from several members a variety of comment in the general proposition of public building sites in the District of Columbia, but the Cooper amendment was voted down. "This is a most extraordinary location for tbe Interior Department," said Mr. Cooper. "It is not at all in har| mony with the plan for the improve! ment of the city of Washington and utterly inappropriate as a site for this department. "Here is the department to which members are constantly required to /CI. it IB JJI upOSCU lO pifttc I this new building: at about as inaccessible, inconvenient a point as could well be found. The location will be good for the street car companies, but very inconvenient for the members of the Senate and House. Now, years ago the government condemned and purchased, and has ever since owned, the square on which Poli's Theater is located, and all the Bquares between that square and the Mall. These squares are unsurpassed as building sites. Squares Bought for Buildings. "The government bought them for the purpose, as the law expressly provided, of erecting on them three buildings.one for the Department of Justice, one for the Department of the Interior and one for the Department of State. For years all of these buildings have been greatly needed, and today all are greatly needed. "The government is expending $600,000 a year, perhaps a little more, for rentals for public buildings in the city of Washington. Six hundred thousand dollars a year is 3 per cent on $30,000,000. The government can borI row money at 3 per cent and less. Plans were completed for the construcI tion of these three department build| ings on those squares, at a total cost of only $8,000,000; but none of these buildings has been erected, and to my amazement, and I think it must be to the amazement of a large majority of the membership of the House, we find it now proposed that one of them shall be constructed on a site two or three blocks west of the building of the State, War and Navy departments .a site remote, inconvenient, awkward to reach, and which was original- ly bought as a site for a hall of records." Baps Justice Department Quarters. Mr. Cooper said he was convinced that there is a well established industry in this city "having for its prime object the renting of privately con- structed buildings to the government of the United States." He also men- tioned the fact that trie government 10 Per Cent Discount On Accounts Closed in Thirty Days Washington, D. C. PEBRUARY bring' 1 from TEN TO T] ing for somebody.

"If the Department of Justice were located at Pennsylvania avenue and 15th street and the other buildings were located on the square toWard the Mail, in accordance with the plan for the Improvement of Washington, not only would the effect be beautiful, but the public convenience would also be well served." Renting Profit Shared Alike. uepresentative Fitzgerald, in cnarge of the sundry civil bill, called attention to the fact that the original authorization for the new Department of Interior building was contained in the public building act of 1913, and that he had opposed it, but now that the building wag authorized it had to be appropriated for. He said he had protested to President Taft against the bill. Mr. Fitzgerald said that President Taft, in reply to his protest, had said: "There are so many things in the bill of peculiar benefit to Washington that I cannot forego an opportunity to have them authorized." Mr. Fitzgerald also said that the profit in renting government buildings is shared by the government as well as by the real estate man, as the Treasury has been able to escape paying out large sums for large and monumental buildings with .a permanent annual charge. Amendment Is Voted Down. At the end of the discussion. Representative Cooper offered an amendment to strike the item for the Department of the Interior from the sundry civil bill, but it was voted down. Representative Gillett of Massachusets Offered an amendment to the sundry civil bill yesterday afternoon which would have taken $9,000,000 from the bill. He proposed to strike out all of the public buildings items except those 3 All Our \ Iiiu AAo ui aimo) mi< modeling our new hon Price! 60 dozen Ladies' White L long and short sleeves; trimn laces and embroideries; all siz< up to $1.98.

He told the House that he offered the amendment on the ground that the Treasury is nearly empty. For eighty minutes the House discussed the Gillett amendment, but regardless of the plea of economy the Gillett motion was lost.

CRmCISES THE SITEFOR INTERIOR BUILDING

Representative Cooper Tries to HaveItem for Construction Stricken

From House Bill.

Declares Proposed Location InappronriatpftTld Wnf TTamtftnvr WH1,

Improvement Plan.

Preceding an attempt to strike fromthe sundry civil bill the appropriationof $1,500,000 for the new Departmentof the Interior building. RepresentativeCooper of Wisconsin late yesterdayafternoon severely criticised thelocation of the proposed building in thesquare bounded by E and F streets,18th and 19th streets northwest. Theensuing discussion brought from severalmembers a variety of comment inthe general proposition of publicbuilding sites in the District of Columbia,but the Cooper amendment wasvoted down."This is a most extraordinary locationfor tbe Interior Department," said

Mr. Cooper. "It is not at all in har|mony with the plan for the improve!ment of the city of Washington andutterly inappropriate as a site for thisdepartment."Here is the department to which

members are constantly required to/CI. it IB JJI upOSCU lO pifttc I

this new building: at about as inaccessible,inconvenient a point as couldwell be found. The location will begood for the street car companies, butvery inconvenient for the members ofthe Senate and House. Now, years agothe government condemned and purchased,and has ever since owned, thesquare on which Poli's Theater is located,and all the Bquares between thatsquare and the Mall. These squaresare unsurpassed as building sites.

Squares Bought for Buildings."The government bought them for

the purpose, as the law expressly provided,of erecting on them three buildings.onefor the Department of Justice,one for the Department of theInterior and one for the Departmentof State. For years all of these buildingshave been greatly needed, and todayall are greatly needed."The government is expending $600,000

a year, perhaps a little more, forrentals for public buildings in the cityof Washington. Six hundred thousanddollars a year is 3 per cent on$30,000,000. The government can borIrow money at 3 per cent and less.Plans were completed for the construcItion of these three department build|ings on those squares, at a total cost ofonly $8,000,000; but none of thesebuildings has been erected, and to myamazement, and I think it must be tothe amazement of a large majorityof the membership of the House, wefind it now proposed that one of themshall be constructed on a site two orthree blocks west of the building ofthe State, War and Navy departments.a site remote, inconvenient, awkwardto reach, and which was original-ly bought as a site for a hall of records."Baps Justice Department Quarters.Mr. Cooper said he was convinced

that there is a well established industryin this city "having for its primeobject the renting of privately con-structed buildings to the governmentof the United States." He also men-tioned the fact that trie government

located at Pennsylvania avenue and15th street and the other buildingswere located on the square toWard theMail, in accordance with the plan forthe Improvement of Washington, notonly would the effect be beautiful, butthe public convenience would also bewell served."

Renting Profit Shared Alike.uepresentative Fitzgerald, in cnarge

of the sundry civil bill, called attentionto the fact that the original authorizationfor the new Department ofInterior building was contained in thepublic building act of 1913, and that hehad opposed it, but now that the buildingwag authorized it had to be appropriatedfor. He said he had protestedto President Taft against the bill.Mr. Fitzgerald said that President

Taft, in reply to his protest, had said:"There are so many things in the billof peculiar benefit to Washington thatI cannot forego an opportunity to havethem authorized."Mr. Fitzgerald also said that the profit

in renting government buildings isshared by the government as well as bythe real estate man, as the Treasuryhas been able to escape paying out largesums for large and monumental buildingswith .a permanent annual charge.

Amendment Is Voted Down.At the end of the discussion. RepresentativeCooper offered an amendment

to strike the item for the Departmentof the Interior from the sundry civilbill, but it was voted down.Representative Gillett of MassachusetsOffered an amendment to the sundrycivil bill yesterday afternoon which

would have taken $9,000,000 from thebill. He proposed to strike out all ofthe public buildings items except those
