SENATOR JONES’ GRAVE CHARGES. Demands Accounting From Mc- Kinley on That $50.000,- OOU War Fund. TELLTALE BOAT PURCHASES. of Appropriation Want- of Detailed Statement For Paris Exposition Also ed---Serious Charges Boodling. H Washington, May r| Jones of Arkansas severely ar 2 the Paris Exposition Commission in the senate to-day forits apparant on} extravagance, and in conne therewith demanded that the be opened so that the public may know in detail how the $1,448,766, for books appropriated at various times the expenses of the commission. had been expended. The same demand was made regarding the $50,000,000 war fund, placed at the disposal of the president. As reasons for demanding a detail- ed accounting of the $50,000,000 ex- penditure, Mr. Jones cited several in- cidents of extraordinary prices paid for vessels purchased during the war He read a press dispach from Buffalo y, setting forth that John recently nominated for Judge of the Western district of New York, had received $5,000 as a rake- off for his influence in sale to the government of Mr. Con- ner’s yacht, the Inquirer, at a cost of $80,000, being $35,000 more than the yacht cost Mr. Conner originally, 5,000 more than the govern- ment recently offered to sell the same vessel for. Mr. Jones declared that he had as surances from a trustworthy source that three other vessels were offer to the government in the early part of the war for a reasonable price; that the parties owning them were unable to make a sale until parties with influence afterward took hold of the matter and brought about the sale as the vessels at a much higher price than originally asked. Senator Jones was unable to give the names of the ships or of the parties who had brought about the sale, but said that his informant was a trust-worthy person who had promised to furnis! particulars. “IT want to find out what the presi dent did with the $50,000,000 placed in his hands by Congress at the out- break of the war,” said Mr. Jons “Twant to know how he spent this and to whom he gave it. I have heard all kinds of stories of boodling and extravagance in this matter, and I want a full and complete account- ing “L have heard that the war depart- ment says: ‘Go to the State depart- ment,’ when the figures are asked for in this matter, and the state depart- ment says: ‘Gothe Navy depart- ment.’ Now the president ought not to be afraid to tell us what he did with the $50,000,000. If there has been boodling his report will show. Let him send usa detailed account of expenditures showing to what use the cash was put. “Asan instance, the Hazel case will show that their is need of an in- vestigation, especially when a repub- lican with a pull can sell a yacht val. ued at $45,000 for $80,000 and the government later listed the yacht at $25,000." “Who was responsible for the pur- chase of the yacht?” asked Mr. Till- man. “The Navy department, I suppose,” said Mr. Jones, “but the funds came out of the $50,000,000. Why, 1 have been told by a man in this city that he had engineered a deal wit! the navy department he used his pull with the administration to sell three old barges to the gov- ernment at pri of ocean liners This dealcame out of the $50.000,- 000, too.” securing the whereby ces Mr. Jones thenstated that he would draw up a_ resolution directing the president to make a detailed s - ment. In connection with the expenses of the campaign. Senator Jones read press dispatches alleging extrava- ganee and misconduct for the pur pose of pointing out the importance of a detailed accounting of the oper ations of the commission. “The president sent a statemer answer to my resolution.” said showing that over $150,000,000 was Spent within the last two months o: the work of the commission. The whole cost was said to be $1,200,000 ‘and Mr. Peck received this amount. Now he only accounts for some } $400,000 in his detailed report re- quired by law, and he now asks for an extra emergency appropriation of #168 “Now. where is Where I demand to know this SS00,- I ask the Appropriation Committee and I i f nd W.
