Fire-Alarm Goes Orr About Political Bargains. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. During the executive session of the Senate today for the- purpose of confirming Presi dential appointments, the nominations of four Ohio postmasters were defeat ed ' at the Instance of Forakcr and Pick. The nominations were reported unfavorably by the postofflce commit tee. Dick made the report from that committee, and on motion of Foraker the Senate immediately took action by sustaining the committee report. Taiere was no vote, the names be ing acted upon In the usual manner by the Vice-President's putting the question and assuming silence as an affirmative. Foraker, However, broke the silence after the names were re jected by moving that the President he immediately notified of the Senate's action. His sally caused considerable merriment. In commenting tonight Foraker said "There will be no further prostitu tion' of Federal patronage In order to carry out political bargains without Its being resented. There will be more objections to nominations, wherever it is found that the appointments were made in pursuance of a political com pact." , .

Aldrlch insisted that the resolution should not be adopted until after Secre tary Cortelyou's reply to a resolution formerly adopted by" the Senate was re ceived, but promised to aid in securing additional information If that reply should not cover the several phases of the controversy that bad been brought out. Culberson's resolution went over under the rules." Tillman offered a resolution embodying a new series of inquiries concerning the financial situation.

The amount of the fine and the length of the term of imprisonment to be meted out to officers and directors of corporations for violatr lng the law with respect to money con tributions for political purposes furnished material for a lengthy debate in the House today, in connection with the con sideration of the penal code bill. AH amendments to Increase the penalty or enlarge the scope of the law, however, were voted down. These amendments, without exception, emanated from the Democratic side, hut the one that brought forth the most discussion was by Cock ran, New York, who wanted the fine fixed at $10,000 instead of not more than J1O0O, and the Imprisonment at 10 years Instead of not more than one year. Payne, of New York, the Republican floor leader, charged that the "Democrats and not the Republicans were prevent ing the passage of the- bill, by indulging In political buncombe. His colleague, Fitzgerald, refuted the charge and said that the, Democrats were only seeking to Improve on the bill. Earlier in the day there was a sharp debate over the section prohibiting the enticing of artificers and workmen from Government arsenals or armories by pri vate employers. All attempts to amend the provision so as to make it applicable only in time of war or public emergency were voted down.

Answering a question, he said this esti mate did not include the J4O.3OO.OJ0 purchase price paid by the United States to the Government of Panama, nor the $10,000,000 similarly paid to Panama, therefore, the total computed cost would be $300,000,000.
