''Extra Pay for the Engineer Com

Because of points of order raised
against any Hem which remotely rescm

more than an hour yesterday afternoon
reading through less than three pages.
The measure contains 1(5 pages, but the

the chair will bo applied without argu

will be In the chair while the House Is
considering the bill In Committee of the

between himself and Mr. Johnson on

Items have gone in bills for a number
of j ears, that the money was given for
extra work done by thce officers and to

his point on the fact that the added com

Mr Johnson made the rather startling
statement that because comparatively
few of the minor offices and salaries in
the District establishment are specifically
authorized by law having grown up with
the establishments and been made neces

increased responsibilities tho greater
part of these could be knocked out of
the bill by points or order, .sir jonnson

necessary, but that he belleed a num

did not propose to acquiesce In increases

Dixon nnd Martine Clash.
No feature of the debate attracted
more attention than the colloquoy be
tween senators Dixon of Montana and
Martine of New Jersey. Tho Republicans
enjojed tho clash immense!, and the
Democrats were visibly embarrassed by
tho statements of the New Jersey Sena
tor. Senator Dixon was opposing the
one-term limitation and declared that the
Democrats would make a mistake. to sup
port tho proposition In view of the fact
that they were soon to inaugurate a
President whose services might be such
as to entitle hint to renomlnatlon and
election. Senator- Martine objected yt
having President-elect Wilson thus drawn
Into the debate, because, he said, Mr
Wilson's views were well known and
were In hearty accord with the one-term
proposition He said this provision was
contained in tho Baltimore platform, and
that Mr Wilson had announced public!)
that he favored only one term for Presi
dent. The statement by Senator Martine chal
lenged immediately Interest. He was
akcd If he spoke ex-cathedra or with the
authority of tho President-elect, to which
he replied that he was repeating what
he knew to be the attitude of Mr. Wil
son
"Did ho say that before or after his
nomination? asked Mr. Dixon
"Well. I believe it was before his nom
ination." replied Mr. S'artlne, and the
Senate smiled "But," he added, he has
positive! Indorsed the Baltimore plat
form " Senator O Gorman, one of the
President-elect's close friends and ad
iier who was evidently disturbed by
the turn of events, hastened over to
Senator Martine, took a seat next to
him. tugged at his coat tall, and a whis
pered conference followed. The New
Jersey man was evidently ill at east, and
Mr Dixon asked if he could tell the Sen
ate who wrote the one-term plank in
the Baltimore platform.
The situation was relieved by Senator
Faynter of Kentuckj, who said that he
understood that that plank was written
bv ex-Governor Beckham, of Kentucky.
"I have understood that the name of
the author of the one-term plank was
not Beckham." replied Senator Dixon.
Kvery one smiled as tl ey recognized that
the Senator was alluding to William J.
Bryan
Some Modification.

which provide that the one-term limita

of which he asked for a pardon, and
in tho other he asked for a reprieve, so
that he might appeal his case or ob

lawyer managed somehow to pass In
with the Sunday-school delegates, and
when he reached the President"- he

said that his decision was final. Later,
