Borah Secures Amendment. : Aa soon aa tho crumbling; In the Strength of the Cummins proposition waa seen Mr. Borah submitted an amend went providing that the postal funds Should be Invested only In securities o tha government bearing not less than fA per cent Interest. This would havo the effect of eliminating the $700,000,000 ' outstanding 2 per cent bonds from clr culation as an Inveatment for these funds. Mr. Borah's amendment was accepted by Carter without protest, but Borah insisted upon a record vote, and It was taken, with a result that his amend ment was inserted in tha bill by vnta nt JO ti 11 The adoption of this provision and the defeat of the Cummins modifica tion forecasted the success of the mcaa ure In the final vote, and but little interest was manifested In tha speeches. Smoot Amendment Carries. . The Smoot amendment aa amended by the Borah proviso was next put to vote and carried by 46 to 24. Repub licans who joined the Democrats in vot . ing against the Smoot amendment were Bourne of Oregon. LaFollette of Wis ronsin and McCumber of North Dakota. WcEnery of Louisiana waa the only Democrat to vote with the Republican organization. A number of minor amendments were offered, chiefly from Democrats, but they were bowled over aa fast as pre sented without the formality of a vote. Senator Gallinger submitted an amend- , ment putting trust companies doing a banking business on the same plane as national, state and savings banks In the matter of receiving postal deposits. It waa vigorously opposed by Mr. Hey burn, but was accepted by the leaders on a viva voce vote. The last important amendment de-. . feated waa that of Mr. Owen In the fhapo of a substitute which provided for- national bank deposits. Chamberlain Supports Bill. r Senator Bacon took the floor for the final onslaught on the bill. He referred to the Influence exerted by the presi dent; In pushing this bill and asked If there was any senator so credulous as to believe that the Borah amendment would be found In the measure when It came out of conference. This amend ment, he said, was particularly obnox ious to Republican leaders and the, pres ident, and never would be permitted to stay in the bill when it became a law. ' On the final vote one Democrat, Mr. Chamberlain of Oregon, supported the Republicans and not one Insurgent voted against tho bill. The full vote stood: Teas Beveridge, Borah, Bourne, Brad ley, Brandogee, Brown, Bulkley, Burk ett. Burnham, Burrows, Burton, Carter, Chamberlain, Clapp, Clark (Wyo.), Crane, Crawford, Cullom, Curtis, Cum min. Depew, Dick. Dillingham, Dixon, Dolliver, Dupont, Flint, Frye, Gallinger, Gamble, Guggenheim, Heyburn. Jones, Kean. LaFollette. Lodge,. McCumber, Nixon, Oliver, Page, Perkins, Piles, Root, Scott, Smoot, Stephenson, Suther land,. Warner, Warren and Wetmore. Total, 60. Nays Bailey, Bankhead. Clark (Ark.), Davis, Foster, Gore, Hughes, Johnson, McKnery, Money. Overman, Owen, Payn ter, Purcell, Raynor, Shlvely. Simmons, Smith (Md., Smith (S. C). Stone, Tal iaferro and Taylor. Total, 22. All senators not mentioned were paired. Four moriths of the regular session of the sixty-first congress will expire tomorrow. Today's action on the pos tal bill is the first to be taken on the many Taft measures urged by congress. End Is Not Yet. That every effort will be made by the administration forces to extract th Borah amendment from the bill in the house or the conference committee is the general belief of senators. The regulars' accepted a compromise todq,y because it seemed to offer the beat terms. A source of satisfaction to the Insurgents in the outcome, la the fact that they were able to "vote for the bill. However strong their ar guments they would have had difficulty in convincing their constituents that they served the people by voting against any kind of a postal savings bank bill. ii S ii y jr . .

"These prisoners the police have I do not think they are they right men. Let them get more." Both of the interesting letters re ceived by the police were written in Italian on dirty pieces of paper. They directed that the $15,000 demanded be placed under a stairway at the corner of Sackett and Van Brunt streets In Brooklyn.
