CONGRESS TAKES
UP RAILROAD BILL
REGULARS AND INBURGENTS DIS
AGREE ON SOME IMPOR
TANT FEATUREB.
DEBATE NOT LIMITED
IT WILL BE WELL INTO MAY BE
FORE FINAL VOTE ON MEAS
URE IS TAKEN.
Washington. Everything in Con
gress is subordinated now to the con
sideration of the administration rail
road bill, which has been advanced to
a privileged status in both houses.
Differences of opinion in relation to
its features have brought the regular
and insurgent Republicans into sharp
conflict, while the Democrats look on
ready to grasp any particular advan
tage that may arise. Until the bill is
out of the way it will be idle to specu
late on the probable date of adjourn
ment.
The most optimistic predict that the
bill will not pass the upper house be
fore May 1. In the lower house no one
has hazarded a guess. The rules com
mittee, it is reported, is not inclined to
bring in a rule to limit debate.
After the railroad bill is passed by
both branches of Congress and goes to
conference, where probably there will
be several weeks “hard work" to rec
oncile the ideas of the Senate and of
the House, the other Taft policies will
have consideration. Statehood, injunc
tion bills, postal savings and conserv
ation legislation all will require time
for their disposition. If Congress con
cludes its labors by June 25. therefore,
no one will complain, notwithstanding
the anxiety of members to get home to
look after their fall campaigns.
. Of the general appropriation bills,
the sundry civil bill is the only one re
maining to be considered by the House
that will take up much time, it Is
likely this will be taken up in the com
ing week to the exclusion of delibera
tions over the railroad bill in order to
pass it on to the Senate committee on
appropriations, which has run out of
work.
Senator Lodge Is expected to call up
the request of the Republican mem
bers on the "cost of living" investiga
tion committee for an appropriation of
955,000 to extend the work.

T.F. WALSH DIES
IN WASHINGTON
UNOSTENTATIOUS, BUT POWER
ERFUL FRIEND OF THE WEBT.
PASSES AWAY.
CHARITIES WERE MANY
HELD MANY IMPORTANT OFFICEB
OF TRUST, BUT NO IN THE
POLITICAL FIELD.
Washington.—Thomas F. Walsh oi
Colorado, who ranked high among
American financiers, died at 11:15
o’clock Friday night at his home on
Massachusetts avenue.
Mr. Walsh had been in poor health
for several months. Present at his
bedside when the mining magnate ex
pired were his wife, their daughter,
Mrs. Edward Beale McLean; the at
tending physicians and nurses.
More than a month ago Mr. Walsh’s
condition became such as to cause ap
prehension among his friends, and it
was decided that a trip to Florida
might be of benefit to his shattered
health.
Accordingly, accompanied by his
physicians and by Mrs. Walsh, he went
to Palm Beach, Fla., but the improve
ment hoped for was not to be gained
there, and the party journeyed next to
San Antonio, Texas.
When It became known that Mr.
Walsh’s case was next to hopeless, he
was hurried by special train to his
Washington home, arriving there
Thursday, March 24.
The primary trouble was a malig
nant growth in the nature of a tumor,
which affected his lungs and caused
intense suffering and constant physi
cal distress.
At the inception of his Illness he
revised his will and in the closing
days he put his house in order in prep
aration for the end.
In accordance with his wishes, he
will be laid at rest by the side of his
son, Vinson, who is buried in the Rock
Creek cemetery, this city. The funeral
will be held Sunday at 3 o’clock in the
afternoon.
While the extent of Mr. Walsh’s for
tune is not known, he ranked among
the wealthy men of the country.
Mr. Walsh was highly honored out
side the financial field. In 1904 and
1908 he was a delegatest-large from
Colorado to the Republican national
convention at Chicago. He was se
lected for one of the commissioners to
the Paris exposition in 1890, where he
represented the United Btates govern
ment.
Owing to his wide knowledge of Ir
rigation matters and the interest he
manifested in that Important subject,
he was elected president of the Na
tional Irrigation Congress and gave
the office dignity and the benefit of
his information and experience.
He also was a member of the Amer
ican Academy for the Advancement of
Science and of the Washington Acad
emy of Science.
He was an honored member of the
National Geographical Society and
was president of the Aero club of
Washington.
Much of the advancement and beau
tification of the national capitol is due
to the Interest taken In the matter by
Mr. Walsh as a member of the Wash
ington board of trade.
He was signally honored by his elec
tion as a member of the American
Chamber of Commerce at Paris,
France, the American Chamber of
Commerce at Naples, Italy; the New
York Chamber of Commerce and the
Hellenic Travelers’ club, England.
