LEGISLATIVE BILL SLASHED There is grave danger that creases in the pay of the federal em- ployes provided by the House in legislative, executive and judicial propriation bill will be stricken out | by the subcommittee of the Senate ap- | propriations committee, it was learned today. ‘The subcommittee held a meeting on the bill today, and w and 10 per cent horizontal increases for em- | ployes receiving up to $1,800 a yea were not reached, the probable action | of the subcommittee was fore The members of the subcommittee » ghave expressed themselves heartily in favor of increases for federal em- ployes receiving low salaries, on a count of the present high cost of liv- ing. But the fact that a $300,000,000 deficit is s:aring the Treasury in the face, and that new methods of raising Money to meet the government expen-| <ditures must be found, has hardened * them against any increases in salaries at this time. it was said today, following the meet- ing of the subcommittee, that consider- able progress had been’ made in con- Bideration of the legislative bill and that great slashes in the proposed ap- propriations already had been made by the committee. Hope in Full Committee. After the subcommittee has completed consideration of the bill, it must be passed upon by the full committee be- fore it is reported to the Senate, and it is possible that the full committee might overrule the subcommittee in the matter of sdlary increases, provided the subcommittee strikes them out of the bill. However, the subcommittee consider- ing the bill consists of Senators Martin, chairman of the full committee; Over- man, Robinson, Bryan, Smoot and Oliver, and their judgment is likely to influence strongly the action of the full committee. The probability is, it was said today, that not only would the 5 and 10 per cent horizontal increases be stricken from the bill by the Senate committee, but that every other proposed salary or other increase in the measure would go out. Caucus Backs Committee. The democratic caucus of the Senate went on record Monday night as being willing to support the appropriations P committee in any steps it might take leoking toward economy of the govern- ment expenditures. Some of the sena- tors, however, have said that they did ot intend to be bound by this ‘coucus action, but would use their own judg- ment in voting upon salary increases for the government employes. The friends of the salary increases for the federal employes in the Senate bave by no means given up the fight for better Pay for the underpaid clerks. They intend to carry it to the floor of the Senate, éven should the appropriations committee report against the proposed increases. Await Developments. H. M. MeLarin, president of the Feda- ¢ral Employes’ Union, said today that nd other advocates of the increases in pay for the clerks were awaiting developments. If the committee acts adversely on the matter, he said. the employes would do all they could to have the Senate reverse tne action of the committee when the bill comes up for consideration.

FARMERS BACK LEWIS BL Want Government to Own D. C. Telephones, According to Granger McSparran. WIDER SCOPE IN FUTURE | i | Supporting Representative — Lewis'| contention that government ownership and operation of the telephone system | fit to the farmers of the United States, John A. MeSparran of Furnace, Pa.,| secretary of the legislative committee / of the National Grange, appeared be- fore the District committee this morn- ing at the hearings on Mr. Lewis’ bill providing for government ownership| of the telephone system in the District jot Columbis Mr. McSparran contended that the small telephone companies now operat- ing in rural districts are being squeez- ed out by the big companies, which de- mand that the low rates of these small companies be raised, on threat of re- fusing them long-distance service un- less this is done. He stated that these small companies, whose sole object is to provide low rates for the farmers, would much prefer to be squeezed out by the government, which might be able to provide still lower prices. Ready to Meet Issue. It was at this point in the hearing that Representative Focht of Pennsylvania in- quired of Mr. McSparran where the farmers would be if the government, hav- ing obtained a monopoly of the telephones | of the country, should refuse to provide any service at all for the farmers. Mr. McSparran, with his rugged jew thrust well forward, turned to his in- terrogator: if the government of the United States ever treats the farmer that way there'll be a hell of a time,” he prophesied. “For whom, the farmer?” inquired Mr. Focht. “For you!" opined the Pennsylvania farmer to the Pennsylvania representa- tive. For Postalization of Phones. Mr. McSparran stated that the or-! ganized farmers of the country are strongly in favor of the postalization of the telephone wires, and that ex- | Periment looking forward to this con- dition is regarded as highly desirable. The time which would be saved in in- tercommunication would prove of great benefit to the farmers, he said. He l: ecial emphasis upon the fact that, ontrary to general opinion, the or- ganization which he represented is not in favor of general government ownership. 5 The question as to whether the gov- ernment has 2 monopoly in the field of carrying the mails was again raised by Chairman Johnson, who claimed that it had not. The law on the sub- ject of the delivery of mails was read by Representative Lewis, and Mr. Mc- Sparran contended that the govern- ment is exercising as complete a mo- nopoly in this field as it would over the telephone system under the Lewis bills. Not Terrified by Deficit. The question of whether Mr. Mc- Sparran believed Congress would be right in passing bills which would cre- ate a deficit in the Post Office Depart- ment was answered by that gentleman to the effect that, in view of the great benefits that would accrue to the coun- |try from the passage of the bills, he could see no harm in a reasonable deficit. He pointed out that several of the functions of the department are now operated at a loss because of the service to the country. In conclusion Mr. McSparran claimed that any objection on the part of the would show that they are afraid to | have the experiment involved tried out. {He urged the use of current congres- | disbursements for free seeds, | sional }amounting to several hundred thou- sand dollars. to “meet the expenses of the proposed experiment in the Dis- triet The committee will meet at 10 o'clock j be held Saturday.

NO ACTION ON LAWSON Over the protests of republican mem- bers, the democratic majority of the House rules committee today voted to inquiry into the charges of Thomas W. Lawson, that there was a leak to | Wall street President Wilson's peace note. Democrats and republicans disagree on tion toward the son contempt charges. Republican y he was ab- solved by a vote of the majority and that the whole investigation is over. Chairman Henry insists that the spe- cial subcommittee to deal with Law- L: pounded by the committee and his pub- lication of “leak” charges in ne papers still is in existence and ma: ke some action. x ‘athe opposing members also disagree as to whether the inquiry is over. Re- publicans say it is in effect. Repre- sentative Henry says Representative Wood has another resolution before the committee which has not been act- ed upon which the majority refused to take up today. ‘New Version of the Leak. A new version of the “leak” to Wall street on President Wilson's peace note was given to the House rules commit- tee today by James R. Reilly, manag- ing editor of the Wall Street Journal. A tip picked up, he said, by a Dow Jones reporter in Wall street that brokers’ private wires from Washing- ton were saying the President was about to send a peace note was solely responsible for the dispatch forecast- ing the note which appeared on the company’s ticker at 2:05 p.m. Wednes- day, December 20, ten hours before the note was published. : Between 11:30 a.m., the time Reilly said he received the tip, and the dis- said, he received two messages from John Boyle, the Journal's local repre- The first, filed before Boyle had received Reilly's inquiry re- garding his reporter's tip, was marked “confidential,” and told of the coming of some sort of a note and said it was not a peace proposal. The second, in reply to Reilly’s inquiry as to whether anything was available on the repor! gleaned from the brokers’ wires, was to the effect that reference undoubt- edly was made to the coming note. Did Not Violate Confidence. * Reilly was very emphatic in his dec- laration that the Journal would not vio- late a confidence. “About 11:30," Reilly said, “one of our reporters told me that Washington wires to brokerage houses said the President was preparing to issue a peace manifesto. There had been ru- mors to this same effect abroad in Wall street for some time. I immediately telegraphed our Washington represent- ative. I sent him a message about 11:40. This preceded by an hour the filing of Boyle's confidential message, so the thing originated in Wall street instead of coming from Washington.” Asked regarding news comments sent out in their report that day regarding the market, Reilly said: “The market was very nervous that day. It was just possible that this was due to rumors that the President was going to take some important ac- tion with reference to foreign affairs.” Report of Bankers’ Meeting. “Did you hear a rumor about thet time or a little before,” asked Repre- sentative Harrison, “of a meeting of bankers at which they served notice to brokers that stocks were being pyra- mided too high?” “Not exactly that,” Reilly replied. “1 | heard of no bankers’ meeting, but there was a report that some of the big bankers met at the Metropolitan Club |and came to the conclusion that the amount of industrials carried in their loans was entirely too high. Whether such a meeting was held or not I do not know, but it was reported to have been held about December 15. “The rumor was brought to my office by one of my reporters. There is arcely any doubt, also, that the bankers for their own protection had begun to insist on a change of their collateral, and to favor railroad se- icurities instead of industrials which | would be most severely affected in the event of a break.” Asked about the effect of the Lioyd | jaitected the market. | No Forecast of Lansing Statement. kea by |there had been any advance informa- tion in Wall street that Secretary | Lgnsing on December 21 would issue a |statement asserting that the United States was being drawn near the verge of war, Reilly said he never heard patch of the item on the ticker, Reilly j orge speech, Reilly said that it had | Representative Patten if! —— eS SS >=- q Vessel Torpedoed By the Associated Press.

SPURN BAITED TRAP, NOT PEACE, HE SAYS Lloyd-George Declares War Is Preferable to Prus- sian Domination. By the Associated Press, LONDON, January 11, 4:03 pm— Premier Lloyd George, speaking in the {Guildhall this afternoon, said Emperor William had told his people that the gntente allies had rejected his peace offer. ‘The emperor did so, he said, to drug those Whom he could no longer dragoon. “We Wed. rejected no peace terms,” the premier , aod added : ‘We were not offered-terms, but a trap baited ‘with’ fine words. It would suit Ge: Many .to}have peace now Gn her own terms, We ali want peace, but it must be a real one.” The premier said the allies were of the opinion that “War was preferable to” Prussian domination dver Europe The allies had made that clear, he suid, in their reply to Germany, and clearer still in their-reply to America. Under No Delusions. ‘The Rome conference was under no delusions, Mr. Lloyd George continued, as to the magnitude of the task of the allies, but felt no doubts as to the re- sults. The whole situation was probed, the difficulties were faced and arrange- jments were made to deal with them. All the allies felt, he declared, that if victory was difficult, defeat was im- possible. The premier said that the grim reso- lution of the entente allies at the re- cent conference in Rome was that at all costs they must achieve the high aim [which was before them when they ac- cepted the challenge of the “Prussian militagy caste” to rid the world “for- ever Of its menace and save Europe from unspeakable despotism. The premier said the navy had strangled the commerce of Great Britain’s enemies and would continue to do so, despite “all piratical devices. of the enemy.” : - With proper support at hand, he con- tinued, armies would cleave the road to ‘tory during 1917. The best security for peace in future, Mr. Lloyd George said, would be ob- {tained When nations ‘banded them- lselvea together to punish the peace j breaker. |, The premier then turned to the ques- {tion of ‘the German peace offer, saying: “The kaiser sent out a message to his people that the entente had rejected his peace offer.

IS BELIEVED TO BE DYING XK. Thaw cut his wrists and throat in @ private house on Walnut street west of 52nd street here today and was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital, according to Captain of Detectives Tate, who has been searching for him. Early reports did not indicate whether ‘Thaw was dead or dying. Surrounded by Police. According to Capt. Tate, Thaw's whereabouts were learned early today and the house was surrounded. When detectives entered the place, accord- ing to Tate, they found that Thaw had cut his wrists and throat. Thaw, Tate says, asked that Dr. El- wood Kirby, a well known physician of this city, be sent for. When the doc- tor arrived he ordered Thaw removed to St. Mary’s Hospital, where Dr. Kirby is hea@ physician. Thaw Expected to Die. St. Mary’s Hospital is in the extreme northeastern part of the city, several miles from the house where he was found. Capt. Tate later said. he had been in- formed that Thaw was expected to die. What Thaw cut himself with, Tate said he did not know. ‘The house where Thaw was found is within a short distance from the street where Thaw was in an automobile acci- dent last May. It was a damage suit tn- stituted against his mother, the owner of the machine, that brought Thaw here last Monday to defend the action. Police Clue a Secret. How the detectives learned that Thaw was in West Philadelphia they do not say. When they were asked by the New York authorities to apprehend him on a warrant charging him with assaulting Frederick Gump, jr. of Kansas City, they made a search and were convinced that he had left the city. Thaw Is Unconscious. Lieut. Scanlon of the detective bu- reau said that Thaw was found in the age shortly before 2 0’ clock. Scanion said that he had learned that while ‘Thaw is unconscious he is expected to ives ise was expressed that Thaw snout ‘be taken so far away when there were nearly _a dozen hospitals nearer the West Philadelphia house where he was found. , ‘Detective headquarters were not ad- vised in their early repjorts whether ‘Thaw was taken to the hospital in an automobile patrol or the doctor's auto- mobile. ~ Oliver Brower Indicted. NEW YORK, January 11—A third indictment in the Thaw case was hand- ed ‘down today by the grand jury. The defendant is Oliver Brower, who is un- der arrest on a technical charge in Philadelphia, and in whose possession were found papers left with him by Harry K. Thaw before Thaw and George O’Byrnes, known as his body- guard, were indicted here on charges of assault and kidnaping, brought by Frederick Cump, jr., of Kansas City, Mo. The indictment today accuses Brower of conspiracy to kidna) ‘Evidence placed before the grand jury included the papers taken from Brower, which were brought here by a Philadelphia detective. Brower’s al- leged direct connection with the case is that after Thaw left New York sub- sequent to the whipping he is accused of having inflicted upon Gump on Christmas night Brower acted as Thaw’s emissary in coming to New York in the hope of finding Gump and preventing him from telling his story to the authorities. Application will be made at once to Albany for papers for Brower’s ex- tradition to this state, it was an- nounced. Morrison Declared Spendthrift. CHICAGO, January 11.—Edward W.

France is Implied. : LONDON, January 11, 5:55 p.m.—It has been learned by the Associated Press that the entente reply to President Wilson makes specific designation of its terms of peace, which includes the restora- tion of Belgium, of Serbia and of Montenegro, and complete reparae tion for the dam they sus- tained, and the evacuation of the invaded territories of France, Russia and Rumania, with such reparation as is considered just, Turks Must Quit Europe. The terms also require the liberation of Italians, Slavs, Rumanians and Czech Slavs from foreign domination. The retirement of the Turkish emping from Europe is also required. Reorganization of Europe. The terms also provide for the reore ganization of Europe, guaranteed by a stable regime and founded upon the re- spected nationalities and the full lib- erty and security of all great and small nations. . While Alsace and Lorraine and the Italian Tyrol are not specifically named, yet the terms require the restitution of territories previously severed from al- lied nations by force or contrary to the wishes of their populations. This is considered clearly to refer to Alsace and Lorraine and the Italian Tyrol. Czar’s Claim Not Mentioned. While Russia’s claim to Constantinople is not specifically alluded to, the Turkish clause is considered indirectly to mean the replacement of Turkey by Hussia at the Dardanelles. r The assurances of Emperer Nicholas of Russia concerning Poland are also in- dorsed. Text Reaches Washington. The entente reply to President Wile son’s peace note began arriving this morning at the State Department. As fast as it was deciphered it was laid before President Wilson and Secretary Lansing. It was announced in Paris today that the note would be given out for pub- lication tomorrow morning. Peace Door Not Closed. From all the recent press dispatches from abroad, editorial expressions, re- ports of the allied conference at Rome and other events interpreted as indica- tions of the tenor of the entente reply, the view prevailed here that the note, while setting out the position of the allies in possibly vigorous terms, would be a most courteous and friendly reply to President Wilson's communication and would not absolutely close the door on another move on his part. ‘One neutral diplomat had information from a source he considered reliable that its statement would be of such a nature that it could not be accepted by the central powers without modifica- tion, but would not preclude another move by the President. Diplomats were privately of the opinion that from the very nature of the subject another move by the Presie dent would not be out of the question, whatever the character of the reply, should he choose to make it the occa sion for one. : Explanation of Denial. It was officially denied some time ago that he had another move in con- templation, but that was before the entente had replied. Obviously, diplo« mats pointed out, he could not con« template a move until he had their an- swer. The same well informed sources as some time ago let it be known that at least another move was contemplat- ed understood today that the Presi« dent would not abandon his efforts for peace unless the reply was something wholly unexpected. State Department Silent. The utmost secrecy was maintained at the State Department, but the ime pression prevailed that, although the entente has been perfectly clear in stating its position, the door to peace had not been utterly barred. In other quarters it was pointed out that whether President Wilson will take = further step depends, not alone on the actual terms of tne note itself, but also on his personal estimate of the situa. tion and confidential advices to hing from abroad.
