WASHINGTON, March 3.—The) State of New York was about thiree- fourths represented in the House of | Representatives yesterday and prob- | bly will continue to be represented | to that extent until some legislation, for the enactment of which the busi- | ness interests of the country have vent out @ Macedonian ery, is out of the way.

This article might well be entitled g “How It Is Done.” To convey under- sianding to the reader it is necessary to go back a couple of week: The Department of Commerce, when it submitted its estimates for next year, asked for $12,778,000, Included | in thjs was the sum of $1,662,000 for the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, of which $337,000 was for salaries, $800,000 for promoting com- merce, $300,000 for commercial at- (aches and $226,000 for expenses in promoting commerce. SUB-COMMITTEE SLASHED WITH RUTHLESS HAND. The sub-committee, of which Mr. Wood of Indiana is chairman and Mr, Sisson of Mississippi is the Demo- cratic member, went through the esti- mate of the Department of Commerce like @ tornado through a forest. It ‘was especially destructive in the Bu- reau of Foreign and Domestic Com- merce. Im the first place it threw out the estimate for $1,662,000; refused to] consider it at ‘all. It took the appro- priation for the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce for this year <9000,000) as a working basis, and after exhaustive examinations and in- vestigations cut it down to $480,000, In other words the sub-committee, obeying the necessity for rigid econ- omy, allowed the Bureau of Foreign ‘Domestic Commerce $480,000 for (ee was expeditiously | sistant ACKER LIST” FROM N.

Gunson, @ detective on the staff of Inspector Henry of the Fourth District, was indicted to-day fon charges of extortion and bribery. Judge Malone of General Sessions issued a bench warrant for his arrest. ‘The indictment was found after the ‘Grand Jury had Jistened to the story by Rebecca Melyado, Stella Young ‘and Rose Gonzales, better known as “Spanish Rowe.” The women, testified poenas issued by Swann on evidence District James E, Smith, who has been at work on the, » for some months, The Melyado woman sald she has known Gunson for three years, that during that time she had lived with him in an 90th Street, and had given him yari- ous sums of money, amounting in all to approximately $3,000, besides suits of clothing and presents of different sorts, \She also declared she had acted as “rounder-up” af women of the under world who had failed to meet demands made upon them bby the police detectives. The indtetment charges Gunson with having received from the Mel- yado woman $50 in Oct 1917, while in their apartment Stella Young is alleged to have ibeon pres- under mub- District Attorney Attorney W, ent at the time the money was passed.

The sub-committee reported to the House two weeks ago. The explanation for doing away with the machinery of the For- eign and Domestic Bureau abroad was that the State Department, through its consular officers, looks after the interests of Amer- iean busi in every part of the world, and the work of the agents of the Department of Commerc who have grown in number and an eects in the Night Court waild have to | discharge her.

The majority and minority leaders expressed opposition to the adoption of the measure, primarily on the ground that the Senate investigation would be unnecessary in view of the fact that the Assembly apparently in- tended to go @head with the investi- gation.
