ENLIVENED BY TILT
Macon and Cook Relieve Tedi
um of House Debate.
'POSSUM TO BE PRESERVED
.eorplan Adds Touch .of Humor
With "cgro Dtalogue Increase
of Naturalization Fee Causes
a Storm of Protest.
WASHINGTON". Feb. 11. The agricul
tural appropriation bill was passed by the
House today, practically a? it came from
the committee. The debate dragged
wrarily on for several hours, when the
proceedings were enlivened by a brief
but spirited tilt between Macon (Ark.)
and Cook (Colo.)".
Purins the debate on the agricultural
appropriation bill Bartlett of Georgia
sngarested that some provision should be
made for the preservation of the 'possum
and p-ovoked the House to laughter by
reading a humorous dialogue between
two negroes, who found fault with President-elect
Taft"s recent 'poseum dinner
In Atlanta on the ground that 'possum
was not a white man's dish.
.Every Increase in salary provided for
In the bill was stricken out on the ob
jection of Macon (Ark.).
A successful fight led by Shabath (111.)
was made against the Senate amendment
to the bill amending the naturalization
laws, which, among other things, in
creased the naturalisation fee from $5 to
$10. Mann (Illinois) openly charged that
ih proposed Increased fee was simply
an attempt to put more money in the
pockets of clerks of courts. By an em
phatic vot ihe conference report was
rejected and the bill laid on the table.
A tribute to Lincoln by Boutell (111.)
closed the day's proceedings.
GARFISXT TALKS TO SOLON'S
Explains Scope and "Workings of
Reclamation Service.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 11. A compre
hensive review of the work of the re
clamation service of the Interior De
partment was given to the House com
mittee on Irrigation today by Secretary
Garfield.
Mr. Garfield said that in the construc
tion of the big irrigation plants every at
tempt had been made so to construct
them that the cost of repair from year
to year will be as small as possible. The
Secretary dwelt upon the Importance of
the co-operation of the states and the
Federal Government In the development
of arid lands. He gave the committee
some suggestions as to the future con
trol of the Irrigated lands.
"There should be no relaxation of the
requirement that the money expended on
those lands must be returned to the Gov
ernment, and" there should be no permis
sion granted for the postponement of
the first payment." he said. "The time
has arrived for the first payments to be
made on some of the projects, yet many
requests for an exteslon of time have
been made. If payments are to be post
poned or payments entirely abandoned.
there will not long be a reclamation fund.
- The Secretary approved in unqualified
terms the water users associations, say
ing that they are absolutely necessary In
the successful management of an irri
gation plant. He favored the small-sized
farm unit In Irrigated sections.
CAMvIXGETt SPOTS TROTTBLE
Snys 26,000-Ton Battleships Can
Only 'Find Two Docks.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. Senator Gal
linger has presented to the Senate a doc
ument known as "hydrogTaphlc data con
cerning United States navy yards and
stations." in order to make a permanent
record as to the actual depth of water
that prevails at the various naval yards
and in the channels to sea.
The data is based on information taken
from Government surveys. From the ta
ble It is shown that the Puget Sound navy
yard has the greatest depth of water,
varying from 37 feet to 61 feet, with
Portsmouth, N. H., second with a depth
of 33 to 37 feet, while next in order come
Norfolk, League Island, New York, Mare
Island, Charleston, Washington an Pen
sacola. From this record Senator Galllnger con
cludes that it will be possible to dock the
great dreadnaughts already authorized
only at Puget Sound and Portsmouth, un
less the harbor and navy yard approaches
at the other yards are dredged.
FIGHT OX CENSUS BILL OFF
Matter Will Probably Be Taken Up
in Special Session.
WASHINGTON. Feb.' 11. All at
tempts to pass at this time the census
bill over the President's veto were
abandoned today by leaders of the
House and Senate. The House com
mittee adjourned to meet -t the call
of the chairman. A hasty poll of both
houses was not encouraging to the
passage of the bill over the veto quick
ly, particularly in the Senate. The en
actment of a census law for the taking
of the decennial census probably will
be made the subject of legislation at
the special session.
SEXATE COMMITTEE HAS WAY
Decides Repeal of Salary Increase
Will Fix Knox Tangle.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 11. Senator Knox
is declared by the Senate committee on
judiciary to be eligible for appointment to
the office of Secretary of State, providing
the salary of Secretary of State is . re
duced from I12.0CJ to S000 a year, which
was the salary prior to the action of
Congress in raising it during Senator
Knox's present term of office.
The committee on judiciary today con
sidered the bill Introduced yesterday by
Senator Hale from the point of view that
it might be regarded as a subterfuge and
a technical violation of the constitutional
provision intended to prevent the crea
tion of lucrative positions for members
of Congress. Finally it was decided that
the main proposition of the Hale bill,
which was to repeal the Increase of sala
ries of Cabinet rftembers so far as It re
ferred to Secretary of State, was sound.
The phraseology, however, met with crit
icism, and it was decided to draft a new
measure. The new bill, in accordance
with the views of the committee, used
the word "emoluments" instead of "sal
ary," in order to be in harmony with the
language of the Constitution.
It developed during the session that the
committee, was not unanimous in regard
to the question whether It would be pos
sible to repeal the salary Increase pro
vision so as to make Senator Knox eligi
ble for the office. Senators Klttredge and
Overman seemed to be in some doubt as
f
to the propriety of taking this action, but I
they will not make a minority report,
and It Is said they will not oppose the
passage of the bill when it comes upon
the floor of the Senate.
Prescribe Form of Electoral Vote.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1L Half of the
certified votes of the Electoral College,
canvassed by Congress yesterday, were
not in due form, according to one of the
tellers. The discovery of the errors will
result in a movement to have Congress
prescribe a form for the voters of the
various states.
Senator Bailey probably will introdfice
at .this session a bill prescribing such a
form.
It is argued that the passage of such a
law might avoid the necessity of throw
ing out the vote of one or more states at
some period when such action might
change the result.
, Half 'Million, for Hospital.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 11. The Senate
committee on commerce today ordered
a favorable report on a bill appropriat
ing $500,000 for the construction of a
new marine hospital at San Francisco.
The committee reported an amendment
to the sundry civil bill to provide for
the construction of a light station on
Eliza Island, Bellingham Bay, Wash
ington. ,
House Favors Statehood.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. Representa
tive Watson, of Indiana, Republican
whip of the House, told the President
today that the blip admitting Arizona
and New Mexico to statehood will pass
the House next aionaay unaer suspen
sion of the rules which will prevent
amendments in that body.

FALSE BILL IS SENT
Firm of Booth & Co. Altered
Statement to Bank.
DIFFERENCE OF $2,000,000
Bills Payable Were Scaled Down a
Million, and Bills Receiv
able Were Scaled Up
' Enormously.
CHICAGO. Feb 11. Frederick R.
Robbins, ex-asslstant treasurer of A.
Booth & Company, testifying under
oath at the hearing being held by a
Master in Chancery, said the books of
the company were properly kept, but
that in a statement presented in 1907
to the Commercial National Bank, the
Continental National Bank, the Corn
Exchange National Bank and the First
National Bank, the "bills payable by
the firm were scaled down $1,000,000,
and the bills revceivable increased by
about the same amount, a difference
of about J2.000.000 in all. Previous
erroneous statements, he said, had been
made.
The following year, witness said, he
had several conversations with W. Ver
non Booth, head of the firm, relative
to the statements and Mr. Booth ex
pressed surprise at the state of af
fairs. Finally It was afrreed to make
a statement of the true condition o
affairs to the banks concerned.
"I"id any one state to the bankers
who was responsible for the false
statements?" Robbins was asked.
"There were suggestions made as to
who was responsible," he answered.
"Who was the man?"
"I. M. Smith, general manager of the
Booth Company."
"Where was Smith at tho time of
this interview?"
"En route to Orepon from Seattle."
POSED AS WOMAN . TO ROB
Youth Flirts" With Gay Men and
Then Goes Tli rough Them;
NEW YORK, Feb. ll.James Daly, a
slender youth who was arrested last nislit
in Yonkers, N. Y., while masquerading in
feminine attire, admitted that he had
been posing as a young woman for the
last four nights and flirting with men In
order that he misht rob them. Daly was
captured after conversing with a detec
tive, who became suspicious that his fair
companion was not a woman, and later
proved his theory by tearing oft Daly's
wig.
"My reason for masquerading," he told
the police, "was that I needed money, and
found that by dressing in women's at
tire I could mix freely in crowds. After
being wined and dined by men I found It
easy to take all they had from their pock
ets. I am something of a hypnotist, and
by this means and sleight of hand, I
usually got the money."
