MEASURES NOT EVEN DRAFTED
Pelfcy of Economy Causes Alarm
Among Members Who Desire Ap
propriations Revolt Against
Leaders May4 Result.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. 5. Members of Congress In
terested In securing river and harbor ap
propriations are becoming uneasy over
the repeated -warnings of Speaker Cannon
and other Republican leaders that the
strictest economy must be observed from
now until adjournment. While talk of
this aort Is always In evidence at the be
ginning of each session, -there Is more
seriousness in the tones of the Speaker
and party leaders than usual, and the
fear Is spreading that they mean what
they say.
So far as waterway appropriations are
concerned, the fear Is not alone based on
the attitude of the party leaders, but the
further and very significant fact that the
rivers and harbors committee, though it
lias been in session more than a month,
has accomplished absolutely nothing. One
of its members declares that, notwith
standing almost daily meetings have been
held, not a single line of the bill has been
iratned; not a single item agreed upon.
He declares that in past sessions, when
bills were reported and passed, the com
mittee did more actual work in two days
than it has done this Winter in more than
four weeks.
Alarm Among Members.
This dawdling policy, this postponement
of action. Is what causes the real alarm,
end no member can understand what It
means, unless it Is that the delay 'is in
spired by the Speaker for the sole purpose
of staving off action until It is too late
to put through a river and harbor bill.
If it Is found that this policy of delay
is continued, there Is apt to be a general
revolt of members from districts which
are sorely In need of money to continue
the Improvement of their waterways.
With few exceptions funds heretofore ap
propriated for this purpose will be ex
hausted by July 1, and unless a river and
harbor bill is passed, work will cease al
together. In many other Instances work
has already stopped for lack of 'funds.
May Revolt Against Speaker.
The promise has been made that the
rivers and harbors committee will bring
In a bill the fore part of January. This
promise will serve to check those mem
bers who are In favor of forcing the
Speaker to give In, but it will not serve
for long. Men who want river and har
bor appropriations arc growing desperate;
the situation at many ports and on many
rivers Is becoming serious and demands
attention.
If It develops that the delay on the bill.
which was to have been reported the first
day after the holiday recess, has been for
the sole purpose of defeating that bill
altogether, the Speaker is very HHely to
have a fight on his hands which will call
for all the strength and skill which he
and his trusted llcutenanta can muster.
Members are for economy so Jong- as
economy does net Interfere with the in
terests of their districts, but, as one mem
ber expressed It. "economy, like the tariff.
Is sometimes regarded as a' local issue."

Withdrawal of Huntingdon Signers
Causes Others to -Follow Suit, but
They Reserve Right to File
New Presentment
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 5. The present
ers of Bishop Talbot, who have not "re
pudiated the paper "filed against him, to
night formally withdrew the 'charges In
writing made against the bishop by
friends of Dr. Irvine, the deposed priesL
The document was handed to Rev. Dr.
Bodinc, president of the board of inquiry
to hear, the case late tonight by J. F.
Jcnklnson, of this city. After reading the
withdrawal. Dr. Bodlne said:
"The charges against the bishop of
Central Pennsylvania having been with
drawn by the presenters, It has been
thought that arrangements may be made
whereby the meeting of the board of In
quiry could be avoided. The place of
meeting will be in the City of Reading. . .
The withdrawal Is dated January 2. and
is addressed to Bishop Tuttle, to whom a
copy has been sent- The document
enumerates the charges as follows:
A crime, to wit: A criminal libel.
Immorality, to wit: False statements.
Breach of ordination and consecration vows.
Conduct unbecoming- a bishop.
v Continuing, the .document says:
W are in possession of such proof as Is
sufficient in our opinion to put BUhop Talbot.
upon his trial. The charges were formulated
In order that the scandal In the church, and
the dlfgrace of Che oSloe of Bishop Talbot
ebould be Inquired Into. In the expectation aod
belief that the board would direct the church
advoca'e to prepare a presentment to be
signed by such of the board as agree thereto.
The paper states that since the board
of inquiry was appointed the canon laws
have been changed.
After the names of the signers had been
published, the paper says. Dr. Irvine
learned through the newspapers that the
Huntingdon signers had repudiated the
document. Continuing, the withdrawal
says:
As Incomprehensible as this seems, upon in
vestigation the signers find, upon information
given to them, that at least two of the Hunt
ingdon signers cogfirmed these reports. They
also find 'that twp of the Huntingdon ricners
desire to withdraw their names from the
Charges. We do not know the attitude of the
other two.
For all these reasons, we cannot go before
the-board of Inquiry, and, accordingly, wo
withdraw our names from the charges In writ
ing heretofore delivered to you aa presiding
bishop.
In thus withdrawing our namea, however,'1- onr
action must not be misunderstood. We again
reiterate that we signed the charges In writ
ing, believing that they should be Anally and
absolutely settled by a proper inquiry and
trial.
We deplore that, owing to the serious legal
difficulties and the position taken by aome of
the Huntingdon signers. It has become neccs
eary for us all, one and severally, to request
the return of the charges In writing hereto
fore delivered to you aa presiding bishop, or
that the said charges In writing shall be duly
Indorsed In writing In such manner. In accord
ance with tbe facts, as -will not prejudice the
delivery to the- presiding, bishop jof another
document to take tbe place thereof executed
in accordance with "the existing conditions.
The paper is signed by J. Frederick
Jenklnsoh, A. J. Arnold, S. Lord Gilbert
eon. Hubert Noble. J. A. Beall, William
B. Wilson and Richard B. Cannon.
Although Dr. Gllbertson signed the
above paper, he Issued a statement to
night disavowing any further connection
with the' case, and will not allow his
name to be used "to support such fraud
as has been perpetrated In this case."
To Amend Naturalization Law.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 5. Secretary Hay's
recommendations on the naturalization of
aliens laid before Congress, are that the
law should restrict naturalization to cer
tain courts definitely named and forbid all
other courts from entertaining naturaliza
tion proceedings; that the nature of the
testimony upon which naturalization may
be conferred should be more particularly
prescribed by law than It Is now: that the.
language and form of certificates should
b prescribed; that they should be printed
upon a particular paper made for the pur
nose, so as to nrevent the extensive r-nnn-
terfeltlng which now prevails, and that all
courts naving power to naturalize snouid
be "required to make returns of naturali
zations to the General Government.
