TALE OVER TAKT'S EXPENSES Acrimonious Debate in House Over Money Expended in Traveling. | YEAR'S ALLOWANCE OVERDRAWN Journéy Through the West and South t Fall Cost Big Sum-——>Money to Make Up the Deficlt s Refused. WASHINGTON, May 2.—President Taft's traveling expemses and the fact that he has already overdrawn his allowance of $§25,000 a year voted by congress led to acrimonious debate in the house yesterday and to a re- fusal to permit him to use the next year's allowance to meet the deficiency. As reported from the house committee on appropriations the item of §25,000 for the fiscal year beginning July 1 next would be- come immediately available except for the Pprotests of democratic members. The words “immediately ajlable” finally were Btricken out by the action of Mr. Mann of Illinols, the ocupant of the chair, in sus- taining a point of order made by Mr. Macon of Arkansas, a democrat. It was the western and southern trip made by Mr. Taft last fall that exbausted the White House traveling fund. Speaker Cannon, in a speecn from the floor, defended the necessity of the presi- dent meeting the whole people and sald that these long trips to various sections of the country were necessary. President Taft, Mr. Tawney explained, had made his extended trip through the west and south at the Invitation of sena- tors, governors of states and clvic organiza- tions. Met Popular Demand. “This trip,” Mr. Tawney sald, “was not made for his own pleasure, Congress was in session when delegations from this house, from the senate and from the different states visited him, urging him to make such a trip.” At that time, Mr. Tawney sald, there was no appropriation to meet traveling ex- penses. “The president informed the chalrman of the committee on appropriations,” Mr. Tawney explained, ‘“that personally he would rather remain at his summer home after adjournment than to make that trip, and tiat the only way he would be able to make it would be through congress giving him an appropriation which we tailed to make at the close of the sixtieth congress. Now, after the presjdent has accepted the Invitation of members of this house and has visited thelr states; after senators and governors Invited him, and while on that trip he accepted their hos- pitality, they criticize." This statement greatly excited the demo- crats, several of whom valinly attempted to interrupt. Democrats as Hosts. Mr. Tawney said nine democratic gover- nors invited the president to visit thelr states, the states being Texas, Colorado, In- diana, Mississippi, Loulsiana, Moptana, South Carolina, North Carolina and Arkan- sas. He added that democratic senators from (Loulsiana, Mississippl, Tennessee, Georgla, North Carolina, Florida and South Carolina, together with twenty-five demo- cratic representatives, had extended to the " president the hospitality of their states and districts. “Is this southern hospitality?” Mn Tan- ner ghouted, looking towards the demo- crats. “Can there be a meaner man than he Who invi r to accept his hos- pitality and ,then kicks him because he Accepted?” * Mr. Bartlett of Georgia demanded to know what representatives had accepted the hospitality of the president on that trip dis stated by Mr. Tawney. Mr. Tawney named Mr., Bartlett and his colleague, Mr, Hardwick of Georgla. “TMat s not true; that is false Mr. Bartlett exclaimed. The Georglan added that he did not ride in the president's car, but he paid his own fare. Mr. Tawney sald three democratic sena- tors had been guests of the president on his western trip. Fitsgerald Criticises. Mr. Fitzgerald sald that when the presi- dent exhausted his appropriation for travel- ing expenses he.should have “lad strength ot character elther to decline some of thesq invitations or to pay his own ex- penses.” He dismissed the president's speeches on his trip as more harmful to, the republican than to the democratic party | and criticlsed as a remarkable proceeding Mr. Tawney's securing from. the White House & 1ist of the democratic governors who, at the request of the people in their communities urged the president to visit them. “ am inclined to believe,” Mr. Fitzgerald sald, “that after the fifth of last August o republican governor desired the presi- dent to make such speeches as those in which he declared the present tariff law to be the best ever passed.” The country did not desire to have the president away from Washington while congress was in session, according to Mr. Fitzgerald. He deprecated what he asserted to be the practice of cablnet officers to leave Washington In hot weather and set up thelr official headquarters in other places. There had been no official account- ing In the case of these travellng expenses, Mr. Fltagerald said. “The president may think it is proper to furnish my name as one who was on his train," Mr. Bartlett said. “If the president is satistied with the propriety, with the de- cency of furnishing the names of myself and my colleagues to the gentleman from Minnesota in his sneering attack upon what he calls the hospitality of the south, that is & matter for him. But the president has violated both the rules of hospitality and of decent conduc v Increase in Salary. Mr. Cullup of Indlana, suggestea that it had been elearly understood that when the president's salary was Increased from $60,- 000 to §75,000 that that amount would cover travellng expenses, this statement leading to @ controversy between Mr. Cullup and Mr. Tawney. “It a gentleman is the guest of the presi- dent, must that fact be reflected in his vote here upon appropriations,” Mr. Hard- wick of Georgla inquired. Speaker Cannon took ‘the floor and de- fended the president in his desire to meet the people of the country. “'As far as his power’ and responsibility are concerned,” Mr. Cannon said, “they are greater than those of any executive on earth, save the caar of all the Russias.” He sald he would be glad to make the president’s salary $100,00 annually and he wanted not only the president to be abie to travel, but he said he would have & re- qQuirement that every member of the house should see the country for which he was to legislate before taking his seat in con- the whole, belng prepared to rule on the point of order, Mr. Macon restricted his objection to the words “to be immediately avallable’” The point of order being sui tained these woids were stricken out while the appropriation remained in the bill to be avallable after July 1, 1910. Sugar Magnate’s Letters Show Up Liberal Weights Heike's Correspondence Introduced at Trial Speaks of Concessions at Customs Hous NEW YORK, May ~Charles R. Icike, in the United States circult court this aft- ernoon, heard Henry L. Stimson, for the government, slowly read letters in which Helke spoke of the “liberal welghts we re- celve from the custom house.” As sccre- tary-treasurer of the Amerfean Sugar Re- fining company, the so-called ‘“‘trust,” Helke is charged with conspiracy to de- fraud the government of customs dues on imports of raw sugar, Five subordinates are being tried with him, and the prosecu- tion has been endeavoring to prove that he, although an. executive, was cognizant of and instrumental in cheating at the trick scales. Counsel fox Helke fought bitteriy to bag the letters, but Judge Martin overruied the objections and they became part of the record, The first was dated December 14, 1904, and addressed to Frank G. Turoer, superintendent of the South Boston re- tinery. In It the writer speaks of differ- ences in statements relating to sugar cargoes. The letter was introduced unexpectedly by the government and was read from Helke's private letter book, which was identified In court by Willlam Foster, auditor in the company’'s Wall street office. During the afternoon session Willlam A. Bryan, a clerk In Heike's office, testified that in March, 1909, he destroyed a package marked technical statements, 1806, at Helke's direction. This was four days after the termination of the government suit for the recovery of the sum of $2,000,000 in dutles from the company.

Through his attorney Marsh has filed a pleading to withdraw his plea of nolle contender and to have the judgment of the court set aside, Judge Smith MePherson, who sentenced Marsh is holding & special session of United States court at Council Bluffs, and will take up Marsh’s application this morn- Ing. The effect of a plea of nolle contender on the part of Marsh and his two com- panions, Winford S. Harrls and Bert R.

Shores was also sentenced to fifteen months in the Fort Leavenworth peniten- tiary, but Harris escaped with a sentence of six months In the county jall at Red Oak. Later he was permitted to serve out the gix months in the Pottawattamie county Jall in Council Bluffs, where he is at pres- ent with Frank Scott of Pender, Neb., another member of the gang who escaped with a six months' jail sentence.

BANK BILL CAUCUS ON SNAG House Members Undecided About Dis- posal of Deposits. i!m FLOOD OF AMENDMENTS Men from Various Sections of Country Seek to Limit of Deposits in Local Banke ing Houses. Increase WASHINGTON, May 27.—The republican house caucus on the postal savings bank bill struck the expected snag last night wl‘en it reached section 9 of the Gardner blll, having to do with the disposition of depos- its of savings banks. Reaching no dispo- sition on this feature, the caucus, after three hours' deliberation, adjourned umll’ tomorrow night. The Gardner bill, on which the caucus was working, would permit 17% per cent of the deposits to be withdrawn by the board of trustees and Invested in govern- ment bonds or ‘other securities; 5 per cent additional to be used as a reserve and re- quires the remeining 47% per cent to be kept in the city where the postal deposits were recelved. When this' section was reached tonight there was & flood of amendments by mem- bers, representing various sections of the country, but all seeking to increase thé amount of deposits, which, under the law, would remain in the local banks. Repre- sentative Vreeland of New York offered one amendment increasing to 72% per cent the amount which should remain in the local banks, Various other amendments proposed the retention in local banks from 8 to 70 per cent of the deposits, Vreeland Urges Amendment. Mr. Vreelana spoke at length on his amendment and the Indications were that the discussion on this phase of the bill would continue several hours. Mr. Gardner vigorously defended the bill as reported, Practically there was no change in the bill untll the ninth section. Representative Snapp of Iliinols wanted to Increase the limit which an individual may deposit in any one month from §100 to $00, but this was supposed only by about fifteen mem- bers and was declared lost. An amend- ment by Representative Kesterman of Wisconsin provided that no interest should be pald on deposits remaining uncalled for after five years, but this also was rejected. When the proposition of limiting the total of individual deposits to $500 was reached a number of amendments offeted by Representative Madden of Iilinols pro- posing to increase this amount to varying amounts up to $1,000, but all were defeated by decisive votes. He first proposed a limit of $1,500, but this found no favor and he withdrew it. i Less than ninety members were present out of the total republican membership of /217.
