Washington, Jan. 30. Senator Fulton and Senator Bourne
broke bread last evening and put their feet under the same table..
The warm red lamps of Harvey's shone with particularly soft
color on the love feast at which appeared the ghost of Schue-y

The air about the Oregon delegation is surcharged with ru
mor of a compromise. There Is feeling that the' lleney bomb
was tossed into scrambling political factions Just In time to bring
the combatants to a realization that in some things they have a
common cause. Fulton naturally looks for sympathy in the try
ing hours of attack. Fulton seems to have weakened and when
Bourne sent him the invitation to dine he accepted "Misery

Truman, it is said, secured the full
amount of his December salary from
Rumelln. giving in exchange a power
of attorney to the banker by which ho
could secure Truman s warrant. It Is
said that an arrangement was made be
tween Truman ana Kumeiin wnereDy
Truman always secured the warrant
from the city auditor's office in person
and then Dald Rumelln.
When the time came for Truman to
pay Rumelln nis December loan, me
banker alleges Truman failed to put In
an appearance. Rumelln then used his
power of attorney for Truman's January
warrant. Learning of this, Truman en
gaged Jay Upton as an attorney and
filed notice upon Cltv Auditor Barbur
that he had revoked Rumelln's power of
attorney and directed the auditor to
pay the warrant to no one but Truman.
As a result Mr. Barbur will not pay
either man until the court has decided
the case.
The position of Rumelln is that he
did "not -lend Truman money, but sim
ply bought his warrant at a discount of
G Der cent. He savs that Truman's ac
tion in taking the warrant and using
the money for his own purpose is
equivalent to embezzlement. He stated
that his company secured such a con.
vlctlon against a man in California
under the same conditions, and that he
Is serving a term in San Quentin penitentiary.
Whatever the outcome of the personal
differences between Rumelln and Tru
man may be, it is certain that the city
will take definite steps In regard to em
ployes selling: their warrants. The sys
tem has always proved a source of an
noyance to city officials, and the em
ployes are contlnuallv in hot water
with the men from whom thev borrow
the money. It was with the end in
view of eliminating further trouble that
the executive board Informed the city
employes that borrowing money on their
pay warrants would be a cause for dis
missal. I

DISTRICT ATTORNEY JEROME EXAMINING MRS. HARRY THAW.
SKETCHED FOR HEARST-JOURNAL SERVICE, i
(United Press Leaied Wire.)
Washington, D. .C, Jan. 10. As an In
dication that the house of representa
tives .does not approve of the course
taken by President Roosevelt, Jn his
controversy with Rear Admiral Brown
son, that august body today through
its committee on appropriations declined
to set aside one cent for the malnten
ance of the hospital ship Relief.
The house could not have placed Its
stamp of disapproval orf the president's
plans relative to the ship In a more ef
fective manner. Hence, the navy de
partment has been forced to put two
colliers out of service In order to secure
sufficient money to carry out the anti-
Brownson plans. These funds will be
used to equip the hospital ship.
Chairman Tawney, chairman of the
appropriations .committee In explaining
to the house tne action the committee
had taken, seemed to be quite proud of
It. Not a single member of the house
raised a word In protest.

Washington, J.an. 30. The Aldrich
