GIVES PRESIDENT
CASH TO TRAVEL
Senate Passes Bill After Dem
ocrats Have Poked
Fun at It.
MORGAN CHIEF HUMORIST
Appropriation Made Separate Meas
ure and Adopted After South
erners Have Made End
less Objections.
WASHINGTON, June 22. The opposi
tion in the Senate to the committee
amendment to the sundry civil bill appro
priating $25,000 annually for the payment
of the traveling expenses of the President,
which was begrun by McLaurin. resulted
today in the withdrawal of the amend
ment by Hale, in charge of the bill, and
the subsequent passage of the independent
bill providing practically for the same ap
propriation, which was recently passed by
the House of Representatives. The bill
as passed reads as follows:
That hereafter there may be expended for
or on account of the traveling expenses of
the President of the United States such sum
as Congress may appropriate from time to
time, not exceeding (25.000 per annum, such
sum when appropriated to be expended In
the discretion of the President and ac
counted for on his certificate solely.
There Is hereby appropriated out of any
money In the Treasury not otherwise ap
propriated, for the purposes authorized by
this act for the fiscal year 1907, the sum
of $25,000.
No Liquor for Old Settlers.
The greater part of the day was de
voted to the discussion of this question,
but considerable other business was trans
acted, including the passage of the sundry
civil appropriation bill. There was an
effort to strike out from the bill the pro
vision prohibiting canteens at soldiers'
homes, but Instead it was made stronger.
The bill as passed carries an appropria
tion of $102,400,000. It also retains the
House provision for a lock canal at Pan
ama. The Senate also accepted" the conference,
report on the District of Columbia appro
priation bill and the conference report on
the Postoftice appropriation bill.
The Senate also adopted a Joint resolu
tion introduced by McLaurin expressing
sympathy with the Russian Hebrews on
account of the recent massacres, and
Brandegee's bill appropriating $3,000,000
for the purchase of land in the White
Mountains and Appalachian Mountains
for forest reserves.
No Public Interest In President.
In opening the debate on ,Jhe provision
for the President's traveling expenses,
McLaurin took ls.-ue with those who con
tend that provision should be made to
permit the President to take newspaper
men with him on his travels, saying that
the people generally are not concerned
about the private affairs of the President.
There is, he declared, no interest in the
President simply because of his office, and
the Senator did not believe that more
people would turn out to see htm than
would have gone out to see Mr. Gladstone
or Agulnaldo. In short, he was sure that
the vast majority of the people regard
him as a human being, and care no more
for the President than for any other man
of distinction.
He announced his confidence that the
present Chief Executive has not sought
this legislation, and, knowing him well,
he had confidence that,' If the proposition
should be presented to him independently,
he would veto It. There was to his mind
no reason why Mr. Roosevelt should have
his expenses paid while traveling about
the country, nor would there be any rea
son for such a course when Mr. Bryan,
who, he announced in confidence, would
be the next President, takes the office.
liaises Constitutional Point.
The provision was opposed by Bacon on
constitutional grounds. Ho contended
that the $25,000 which it is proposed to
appropriate is an emolument such as is
prohibited in direct terms.
Foraker suggested that to make the
appropriation by the separate bill now
pending would bo preferable to making
ft as an amendment to an appropriation
bill. He concluded that the appropriation
would be an emolument and therefore
constitutional.
Continuing, Bacon said he did not ob
ject to the President's visits to the var
ious sections of the country and referred
to the tours of President Cleveland, Pres
ident Harrison and President McKinley.
"Docs tlie Senator mean to say that
they paid their own way?" asked Lodge,
and. when Bacon replied in the affirma
tive. Lodge replied that "it Is perfectly
well known that they did not, but that
the railroads had paid their expenses."
Bacon then said that be had only meant
to say that the Government had not foot
ed the bills. Both Senators agreed that
under the prospective railroad rate law
the President could not' accept free trans
portation from the railroads.
Hale then proposed that the House bill
on the subject of traveling expenses for
the President be taken up and voted
tipon without debate. Objection was made
by half a dozen Democratic Senators.
Morgan Bubbles With Fun.
Hale withdrew his proposition and Mor
gan spoke in opposition to the amend
ment. He made a speech, facetious In the
extreme. He said the Senate knew noth
ing of what was intended to be done with
the $25,000 to be appropriated.
"It might be used," he said, "for the
entertainment of scions of royal blood,
with the President giving Instructions in
American hunting and sports, or, as some
have suggested, it might be for political
expeditions where the President might
stock a train with spellbinders to en
lighten the people of the United States
on subjects they know more about than
the spellbinders. In that event, it would
be money thrown away."
He pictured what the President's spe
cial train might be, with liveried retain
ers of black, red or white. "Then," he
said, "it might be that he wanted to take
lessons In catching a live wolf and chok
ing him to death with his hands. In order
to appoint' his instructor to public office."
He characterized the appropriation as a
"pure donation for excursion purposes."
Why Not Give People Peanuts?
Hale withdrew the amendment and re
newed his request that the House bill
making an independent appropriation of
$2G,000 for the President's traveling ex
penses be laid before the Senate with the
understanding that it be voted on at 1
o'clock today. The time was extended
until 5 o'clock and the proposition was
agreed to, with the understanding that
speeches on the bill should be limited to
ten minutes' duration. The discussion
then proceeded with the Independent bill
as its basis.
Carmack opposed the bill on the ground
that the only purpose is to give the peo
ple a free show, and said the next move
would be to furnish roasted peanuts and
pink lemonade. He moved to strike out
the appropriation for the current year,
but the motion was rejected, 16 to 36.
The division was on purely political lines,
the Democrats voting in the affirmative
and the Republicans in the negative.
Culberson moved to so amend the bill
as to make the appropriation applicable
only to travel "on official business." This
motion was also voted down, 23 to 35. La
Follette and McCumber voted with . the
Democrats for the amendment.
President Not to Be Hermit.
Spooner said it was never intended that
the President should live the life of a
hermit.
That every dollar of the amount appro
priated would be expended In the con
duct of official business was the opinion
expressed by Carter, kho spoke in sup
port of the bill. He said that Presiden
tial trips were not "primrose Journeys."
Patterson contended that the bill In
directly increases the President's com
pensation and is therefore unconstitu
tional. Heyburn supported the bill.
Vote on Final Passage.
The bill was passed, 42 to 20, the vote
being as follows:
Yeas Allee, Ankeny, Benson, Beverldge,
Brandegee, Bulkeley, Burkett, Burnham,
Burrows, Carter, Clapp, Crane, Cullom, Dick,

No Beer at Soldiers' Homes. .
With the question of paying the trav
eling expenses of the President out of
the way, consideration of the sundry civil
appropriation bill was resumed and Kel
son moved to strike out the provision
prohibiting canteens at the soldiers'
homes. He read several statements, one
from Archbishop Ireland, testifying to
the Improved conditions under the regu
lated sale of beer and wine at the homes.
On motion of Hale the motion was
laid on the table.
Hansbrough then offered the following,
which was agreed to:
"Hereafter there shall not be main
tained at any branch home of the Na
tional Home for Disabled Volunteer Sol
diers any bar or canteen for the sale of
beer or wine or other Intoxicating
liquors."
The Senate also retained the House
provision prohibiting the use for a sea
level canal of any of .the money appro
priated for the Panama Canal. It, was
not debated. This Axes the type of the
canal.
The sundry civil bill as amended was
then passed.

STATE IS ASKED FOR AID
Ruined Little California City Told
Earthquake Destroyed It, Though,
Photographs Say Otherwise.
German Company Insolvent.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., June 22. (Spe
cial.) The people of Santa Rosa, after a
fruitless contest with the insurance com
panies, extending over two months, have
at last appealed to Commissioner Wolf
and the people of San Francisco to aid
them. Most of the insuranoe companies
which carried policies on the structures
in Santa Rosa which were destroyed In
the disaster of April 18 have flatly refused
to' settle, claiming that all the material
damage was done by, the earthquake and
that the fire which ensued merely licked
up the ruins.
The situation is far more complicated
than in San Francisco, where the large
buildings did not suffer from the shock.
The total damage in Santa Rosa will run
into the millions. It is acknowledged that
a great part of the damage was caused
toy the quake, but at the same time photo
graphs give positive proof that great
blocks which weathered the quake were
destroyed toy the fire that followed.
The Insurance Commissioner and the
commercial toodles of San Francisco have
pledged their aid to Santa Rosa, and will
endeavor to force a settlement. No poli
cies have yet been-paid in the little city.
IVIMj BLACKLIST DELIXQVENTS
Washington Bankers Act Against
Six-Bit Insurance Companies.
TACOMA, June 22. At the session
this morning' of the Washington Bank
ers' Association, a committee was ap
pointed to confer with the State In
surance Commissioner and compile a
list of companies that cannot meet ob
ligations resulting from the San Fran
cisco disaster .and a list of those com
panies that seek to evade payment of
losses. These lists will be furnished
to every banker in the state. I. H.
Albers, president of the National Cap
ital Bank, of Salem, Or., stated that
the Oregon bankers would take similar
action. N. B. Coffman, of Chehalls,
pleaded for the insurance companies,
stating that most of them were trying:
to meet their obligations.
The association's action will 'result
in a blacklist of the delinquent insur
ance companies in Washington..
DOIXG BUSINESS OX WIND.
Transcontinental Insurance Has Not
Money to Pay Losses.
' SAN FRANCISCO. June 22. (Special.)
Investigation of the affairs of the Trans
continental Insurance Company, now toe
ing pressed by Walter H. Linforth. re
veals the startling fact that the assets of
this concern, which wrote $6,000,000 of
business in the burned district of San
Francisco alone, are only about 10 per
cent of the estimated loss here.
Alarmed policyholders in the concern,
which is Incorporated in Hamburg, Ger
many, have put their claims into Mr. Lin
forth's hands for settlement. He is now
taking steps to form all claimants into a
corporation to sue the stockholders and
attempt to force them to disgorge some of
the profits on this top-heavy business.
The company has so far refused to pay
any losses. On a capital and surplus of
barely 1700,000, it has transacted an enor
mous business all over the world. The
policyholders will organize after the ex
ample of the creditors of the defunct
Traders' Company to prosecute the direc
tors and stockholders.
"The condition of this company is very
bad," Bald Mr. Linforth, after a prelim
inary examination of the assets and lia
bilities of the company. "The personal
popularity of the Coast agent, V. C. Drif
field, enabled it to write this huge busi
ness. The publlo readily accepted the
promise of the company to pay all losses."
WILL NOT Ol'ST KEFTGEES-
Greely Refuses to Disturb Camps,
Which House 50,000.
SAN FRANCISCO June 22. Although
requested by both the military and civil
authorities to oust the refugees from the
military reservations, Major-General
Greely declares that they shall not be dis
turbed until they are ready to go. Ha
says he will continue to supervise the
work of helping the homeless aa long- as
necessary.
General Greely has adopted a plan by
which he hopes to enable those -who are
striving to re-establish themselves in more
comfortable quarters to do so. Through
out the camps cards have been distrib
uted calling for a statement of the present
and prospective condition of each Individ
ual. In this way it is expected that the
population of the tented cities may grad
ually decrease until none is left. If an
individual has in prospect employment, or
if he believes that he can become sen
supporting at the end of one, two or
three months, he is issued bulk rations
to cover that period. Many have availed
themselves of this opportunity. When
asked the number of people still depend
ent upon the supply camps for food. Gen
eral Greely expressed the opinion that
there are still about 50,000.
RAW FOOD NOT IX DEMAND.
General Greely Brands Two Reports
as Flagrantly False.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 22. Colonel
George H. Piper was chosen by the
finance committee today to act aa third
man to handle the funds for relief and
rehabilitation of the city. Oscar Gush
ing was the other candidate, and he will
take the place of Dr. Devine, who will
only be able to remain in the state two
months because of other duties. E. F.
(Moran, at the head of the civil service
commission, is the choice of the Mayor,
and Dr. Devine will take up the Red
Cross end of the commission.
General Greely took occasion today to
brand as flagrantly false the report that
the army was attempting to induce the
refugees in the various camps under the
control of the army to sign away all
right to aid from the relief fund. He
made the further statement that con
trary to the report that raw food was
in demand he had not received a dozen
applications for the article In the last
four or five days, and that at present
there was over 1,000,000 pounds in his
care.
WILL STAY UNTIL EXPELLED
Companies Which Defy Law Will
Continue Business.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 22. Eleven of
the fire Insurance companies whose li
censes to do business in California are
open to cancellation because of their re
fusal to either furnish the State Insur
ance Commissioner with a complete list
of policies or sign the stipulation grant
ing an additional 60 days to their policy
holders for the filing of proofs of loss,
yesterday declared that their companies
would stay in California and settle losses
until they were driven out
These companies are the American of
Boston, American of Philadelphia, Con
cordia, Delaware, Dutchess, Globe &
Rutgers, Germania, Girard, New York.
Spring Garden and Westchester Fire. The
American of Boston and the American of
Philadelphia will, it is said, settle as best
they can and retire from the insurance
business.
Losses of Grand Army Men.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., June 22. As a re
sult of an Inquiry by Governor Pardee,
it is ascertained that 300 Grand Army men
lost their homes in the San Francisco fire.
They have received about J8000 from
Grand Army posts and these contributions
have been sufficient to relieve their imme
diate needs. It will require a much
greater sum, however, to prepare for
their future.
GERMANY MAY TAKE A HAND
Bring German Companies to Time
Which Repudiate Debts.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 22. Franz
Bopp, the German Consul in this city, la
about to file an official report with his
government upon the insurance situation
here. In regard to the position of the
German companies Involved here, he is
quoted as follows:
There 1b no doubt tbat the German gov
ernment has the rig-ht to control the ac
tions of alt commercial companies incor
porated under the laws of Germany; and
where It can be demonstrated that any in
surance company la not acting honeatly by
Its patrons the government Is empowered to
bring, it to reason. I am forwarding to the
German government my official report upon
conditions In San Francisco and upon the
Insurance situation. The government will
undoubtedly give its attention to the situa
tion and will not permit any insurance
company that Is able to meet its obligations
to escape them.
The German Insurance companies doing
business in this state are the Aachen &
Munich, Hamburg-Bremen, North German
of Hamburg, Prussian National, Rhine &
Moselle and Transatlantic. The last
named, it is said, has now ceased to
write insurance In California.
Aid for Distressed Teachers.

Gross, president of the New York City
Teachers' Association, has arrived here
with a draft for $10,000 for the relief of
San Francisco teachers in distress. He
wlU confer with the Board of Education
and various committees of school teach
ers as to the best method of distributing;

ALL DEPENDS ON WOMEN
They May Scare Senate Into Unseat
ing Smoot.
OREQONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, June 20. The postponement of a
vote on the Reed Smoot case until the
next session of Congress may prove a
serious thing for the Mormon Senator
and it may not. It all depends on the
course pursued by the women of the
country, who are behind the movement
to oust him. It has been conceded right
along that, if a vote had been taken this
session, Smoot would have been declared
entitled to his seat, for a marked ma
jority of tne Senate is today of this
opinion, possibly two-thirds.
The only hope of the Senators oppos
ing Smoot is in inducing the women to
keep alive the campaign they have well
begun. If the women remain interested
and actively revive their campaign this
fall. Just prior to the assembling of Con
gress and Immediately thereafter, it is
possible many Senators now inclined to
vote for Smoot will be induced to vote
against him or rather will be scared Into
voting against their convictions. The in
fluence of American women is great, as
demonstrated in the passage of the anti
canteen law, and it is quite probable
that this same influence, If .great enough,
can force the expulsion of Senator Smoot.
The fate of the Utah Senator may cor
rectly, be said to depend on the vigor
with which the campaign is waged
against him by the women of the coun
try. If the Senate is left to vote as it
deems proper, Smoot will never be un
seated; if the women get busy and are
able to scare the timid ones, as they
scared Senator Dolliver on the commit
tee, the opposite result may be expected.
