' REWARD FOR LITTAUER He Put Through Salary BUI sod Leaders Shamelessly Tried to Return Favor, but Taft and Senate Blocked the Way. OBBGOKIAN XBW9 BUREAU. Willi, lngton, Aug. 7 In compelling Congress to abandon the excessive House rates on gloves. President Taft saved hla party from one of the most dangerous political scandals ever attempted at the National capital. Seldom have special interests been so bold as the glove manufacturers, for rarely do tney have men so peculiarly influential to lobby for them In Congress. Members of the House, especially new members, who voted for the original Payne rates on gloves, have been as tounded to find that their party leader, backed by Speaker Cannon, -would at tempt anything quite so "raw" as the glove schedule in the tariff bill as it was reported to and originally adopted by the House. The truth ie that the Payne rate on gloves was fixed by Lucius N. Littauer, an ex-member of Congress from New York and one of the leading glove manu facturers of the United States. Littauer brought with him to Washington creden tials authorizing him to represent fill the glove manufacturers of tRe United States. But it was not his credentials.' nor the mere fact that he is an ex-member that enabled him to wield such power. Littauer Got Salaries Raised. Littauer was permitted to dictate the House rate on gloves because it was he who, when a member of the House and on the appropriations committor, led and carried the fight that raised the salaries of Senators and Representatives from $5000 to $7500 per annum. It is acknowl edged that but for the part played by Lit tauer, the salary increase would never have gone through. And the advance in the rate on gloves way beyond the rate fixed In the Dingley bill was purely and Bimply m the nature of payment to Lit tauer for the work he did in getting an extra $2600 annually for members of Con gress. Among the older members of Congress, those who knew Littauer and knew that the salary raise was largely due to his personal fight, the reason for raising the rates on gloves was understood, but the new members, who knew nothing of Lit tauer or the "magnificent work" he did in getting members an increase of SO per cent in the pay, assumed that the ways and means committee, under the leader ship of Chairman Payne, had actually found the glove industry of the United States was being injured under the Ding ley law. With them it was a pure case of allowing themselves to be deceived. No Excuse for Cannon and Payne. But for the House leaders, Cannon,,' Payne and other Republican members of the ways and means committee, there is no excuse no extenuating circumstance. They went Into the deal for the avowed purpose of doing Littauer a favor and, eo far as in their power lay, they did it. Even after President Taft demanded a reduction to the Senate rates, these old House members stood pat as long as they could, determined not to give in; The Senate, it Bhould be said, gave Littauer less credit for the salary raise than did the House leaders. Littauer" influence was not necessary to get that measure through the upper branch of Congress. Hence, the Senate felt under no obliga tion to this man. In connection with Littauer and his marvelous Influence over the House of Representatives, an old member recalled today the fact that when Littauer re tired from Congress after the salary raise, lie was tendered a gorgeous ban quet by the House members. Those who were Invited were assessed $25 a plate. Many rebelled, saying no banquet was worth that amount. But the promoters came back with this retort: , "Don't overlook the fact that Littauer got for you an extra $2600 a year. Now fork over your $25." And almost invari ably they "forked." BALLOT FARCE IN CHINA Reports of First Election at Amoy Are Not Encouraging, PEKTN, Aug. T. Speclal.) Constitu tional government in China seems to be at last within sight. In one or two prov inces the first elections for the local as semblies have already taken place. Man churia, for Instance, has elected BO rep resentatives, who will form the provin cial Parliament. Very little Information is available as to these first encounters with the ballot-box. A brief account is, however, given In a Hong Kong journal of what happened at Amoy. which had to elect two of the 72 members of the As sembly which is to meet at Foochow. The proclamation previously Issued by the authorities stated that all business men worth $5000 and upwards, all those with any official rank, literary men. Christian preachers and most professional men of good standing would be entitled . to exercise the franchise. On this basis the voters numbered 700, but only about 200 persons availed themselves of the privilege. The rest, Chinese-like, preferred to wait until they saw what they would be let in for If they voted. The number of candi dates was not stated, but at the top of the poll was a wealthy and powerful local business man, who received 127 votes, while the second favorite received 30 votes. It la added that the voting was by secret ballot, but that a lot of underhand tricks seem to have been resorted to, making the whole thing a farce. Battery A Goes Into Camp. SEASIDE, Or.,' Aug. 7.
