DEFICIENCIES TOO LARGE
Moody's Portrait of Knox Text for
Debate on Evil Ways of Depart
ment Ghiefs, and Rem
edy Is Provided.
"WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. Reform In the
matter of making deficiency appropria
tions agitated the Houbo today, and the
entire time was'devoted to Its discussion,
with the exception of a short ppeoch for
free hides by Perkins, of New York. The
urgency deficiency bill was being consid
ered under general debate order, and
Llttauer, of New York, in charge of the
bill, set the pace by pointing out the
failure of the legislation of last year to
curb the heads of departments In their
demands for deficiency supplies. The only
ppeclfic Illustration of the need for reform
which was cited was the appropriation of
52615 for a portrait of Attorney-General
Knox, which Attorney-General Moody
had paid out of the contingent fund of
the Department of Justice, and for which
the bill makes provision. Under the new
limitations. thiB use of the contingent
fund will not be permitted. General de
bate will proceed tomorrow.
Consideration of the bill was begun in
committee of the whole with Sherman
(New York) in the chair. Littauer ex
plained the items in the bill, which ag
gregate 515.215,503. including $5,340,786 for
the Panama Canal.
Moody "Under Criticism.
"Coercive appropriations by the execu
tive department of the Government" were
made the subject of criticism by Littauer.
He said the practice had become well
established by long usage whereby the
bead of a department arbitrarily forced
Congress to meet his demands for money.
The most common method of accomplish
ing this was to use up any particular ap
propriation in less than the year which it
was Intended to cover, and then demand
of Congress a deficiency appropriation.
The effort to remedy this by the last Con
gress had been only partially successful,
and the pending bill, he said, went a step
further.
Littauer cited this provision in the
pending bill:
"To reimburse the appropriation, "mis
cellaneous expenditures, of the Depart
ment of Justice for the fiscal year 1505,
the amount expended for a portrait of cx-Attorney-General
P. C. Knox. $2615."
"Who ordered the picture?" demanded
Gaines, of Tennessee.
JLltt&uer remarked that he understood
William H. Moody, the present Attorney
General, ordered it.
Custom Which Must Cease.
Adams asked if it had not been the
custom for the portraits of retiring Cabi
net officers to be painted at the Govern
ment's expense and hung in the offices
of the department. The reply was that
this had been the custom, but. If the pro
vision in the bill were adopted, It would
not hereafter be the custom.
This provision makes it unlawful for a
department head to ask an emergency ap
propriation unless he can show that
something unusual has occurred since the
Apportionment of the appropriation to
make the emergency absolutely necessary.
Brundige Stirs "Up Democrats.
Brundige, of Arkansas, favored this
proposition, and favored reducing the ex
penses of collecting the revenues of the
Government. He stirred up considerable
contention on the Democratic side by cit
ing several ports of entry where no col
lections were made from one year's end to
another.
Brundige criticized the slowness of the
Panama Canal construction. "With the
expenditure of $26,000,000, which, he said,
would be the amount used when the ap
propriation carried by the bill had been
used, it would only then have been de
termined what character of canal should
be built.
Livingston, of Georgia, the senior minor
ity member of the appropriation commit
tee, said the departments were not alone
to blame for sending In deficiencies. The
short session of Congress every other
year, he said, "was a cause of hurry on
the part of the committees of Congress,
and in both Houses, and resulted in much
unsatisfactory work."
After pome further debate the House, at
s:it o clock, adjourned until tomorrow.

HUMPHREY AGAIX TO ATTACK
"Will Renew Effort to Have Trans

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, Jan. 19. Representative Hum
phrey is loading up with ammunition pre
paratory to making another assault on
the "War Department. In the hope of se
curing the abandonment of the Army
transport service. Last Congress .air.
Humphrey secured the passage of a reso
lution calling on the Quartermaster-Gen
eral for all manner of facts regarding
transports, but no attention was paid to
it and no reply was sent to Congress.
Mr. Humphrey believes that, if his ques
tions are truthfully answered, he will
have unanswerable reasons Justifying the
abandonment of the transport service.
He Is, of course.-anxious to throw the
entire Philippine trade to American ships
plying between the United States and the
Philippines, particularly ships running
from Puget Sound. He maintains that
this business can be handled more eco
nomically by private lines than by ships
operated by the Government.

Rival Railroads In Alaska.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Jan. 19. The House committee on
territories today gave a hearing on Rep
resentative Cushman's bill authorizing the
bonding of the Valdcz-Eaglc railroad In
Alaska at the rate of $30,000 a mile, the
bonds to pay 4 per cent Interest. The bill
requires that the Government shall guar
antee interest on these bonds after the
road shall have been completed. A pro
test against this bill has been received
from another road traversing practically
the same territory. This latter road Is
being built without Government aid, and
Its owners contend that it Is unfair that
the Government should discriminate in
favor of one Alaska railroad as against
another. The committee is not ready to
act on this bill

Senators Unwilling: to Force "Writer
to Violate Confidence of Inform
ants Inquiry Begins Into
Supply Department.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. Tho Senate
committee on lnleroceanic canal has post
poned until next -week reconsideration of
the recalcitrancy of Poultncy Bigelow. It
is believed that ho will go unpunished.
Before the meeting:, several members
paid they had slept over the case, and are
now disposed not to make a "martyr" of
a witness, "whose testimony appeared to
be of too little value to dignify Ills con
duct with summary punishment."
It was decided that further discussion
In executive session should be had, how
ever, to determine whether the jvitness
should be given another opportunity to be
come amonablo to the demands made of
him.
Unwilling to Prosecute.
Hopkins offered a resolution certifying
Sir. BIgelow's contumacy to the Vice
President for action in the courts and
asked that It be adopted. Several Demo
cratic Senators opposed this course, and
Simmons addressed the committee at 1
length. He declared that It was an ex
traordinary penalty that was proposed,
and contrary to common law. He sug
gested that the courts might refuse to act
on the certification, which, he asserted,
would prove more embarrassing.
Concerning Mr. BIgelow's articles, the
Senator said that many other articles had
been written against the canal manage
ment equally bitter by other -writers who
have not been called into the dispute, and
that this one appeared to have been sin
gled out by the President for a denuncia
tory reply. The course of the committee.
If It should proceed against Mr. Bigelow, j
would be to Intimidate witnesses, and
would be bad policy so early In the canal
Investigation.
He said fnat half the news printed by
newspaper men employed at the capital
1b obtained from confidential sources, and
that. If the committee is to declare that .
these confidences arc to be violated. It
would at once array the pross of the coun
try against the committee. He closed with
the statement that he would not sign a
if solution to certify the case to the courts,
and he was joined In this by Gorman and
Taliaferro.
Several other Senators expressed a
doubt as to whether .Mr. BIgelow's testi
mony was of sufficient value to Justify
the committee In making a "martyr" of
him, and Hopkins withdrew his resolu
tion. Purchase of Supplies.
At the afternoon session, when Major
Hugh Gallagher, assistant general pur
chasing agent of the Panama Canal Com
mission, was heard. It developed that the
commission had an agreement with the
United Fruit Company for the shipment
of purchases to the Isthmus whon the
amount of shipments was In excess of
what could be carried by the ships of the
Panama Railroad Company. The rate
paid was the regular charge to other
shippers.
Major Gallagher said IS or 3) clerks
were employed, at an average of $3250 a
year, and four assistant purchasing agents
received a total of $8000 a year. The gen
eral purchasing agent receives 510.0CO, and
the assistant general purchasing agent
5GO00, Including his pay as Major.
Senator Morgan pointed out that it was
provided by law that not more than six '
months' supplies should be carried. He I
asked Major Gallagher If he knew that I
there "were supplies of lumber on hand .

said he knew the purchases had been ex- 1
tensive, but that he supposed the rcqul-
sltlons were for material for Immediate
use.
The committee. In executive session, de
cided to meet at 2:30 o'clock Monday, to
hear Auditor Benson, of the Canal Com
mission and to postpone the hearing of
Poultncy Bigelow till Wednesday.

Native 3Icmbcrs of Executive Coun
cil Never Invited to Meetings.
Want Elective Senate.
"WASHINGTON. Jan. 39. Broad charges
as to the indifference of American offi
cials In Porto Rico to the wishes of Porto
Hlcans were made by Mayor Robert Todd,
of San Juan, In a hearing- today before
the House committee on Insular affairs
on the proposed bill to reorganize the in
sular government. Mr. Todd charged that
the six American members of the Execu
tive Council, who are also the heads of
the departments of the Insular govern
ment, do not consult the five native mem
bers of the body, and do not even Invite
them to meetings of the Council.
This body is both executive and legis
lative in Its functions, and stands In the
relation of a Senate to the House of Dele
gates of Porto Rico. Under the present
government organization, the 11 members
of this body are appointed by the Pres
ident of the "United States, and It Is re
quired that only five of them shall be
Porto RIcans. Consequently, the natives
Insist that their -representation Is wholly
inadequate, and they desire that they be
granted a Senate to be elected by the peo
ple instead of the Council.
In support of his charge that the na
tives In tho Council are ignored. Mr. Todd
presented letters from Roscndo Matlnenzo
kCintron, the present Speaker of tho House
of Delegates, and ex-Member of the
Council J. Gomez Brloso and other ex
members of the Council. Mr. CIntron,
who was a member of the Council from
1900 to 1904, wrote as follows to Mr. Todd:
I never attended tho meeting of the fo
called Cabinet, because I waa never invited
to attend the Mine, and-during the four year
of my Incumbency as a member of tho Council,
I never beard that ray colleagues, the r.atlvi
members of the Council, were ever Invited to
attend.
I was never Invited and therefore never at
tended any meeting of the Executive Council
in the creaence of the Governor, and. ontr.
once 41 I attend th meeting of the Jzccu
