WASHINGTON, D. C President
faffs traveling expenses and the fact
that he had already overdrawn his al
lowance of $25,000 a year voted by
Congress, led to acrimonious debate
In the House and to a refusal to per
mit him to use the next year's allow
ance to meet, the deficiency. As re
ported from the House committee oh
aproprlations, the appropriation of
$25,700 for the fiscal year beginning
July 1 next would have become. "Im
mediately available" except for the
protests of Democratic members The
words "immediately available" finally
were stricken out
President Taft' sent to Chairman
Tawney of the House committee on
appropriations , a' letter expressing
deep resentment at the 'criticisms
paid by Democrats In the House de
bate on the traveling expenses ot the
President. The President said he was
Bspeplally. distressed by the suggested
reflection on Southern hospitality.
Land Bill Changed.
The Senate publlo lands committee
has decided to amend the bill author
izing the President to make withdraw
als of public lands by adding the pro
vision that withdrawals shall not af
fect legal rights of any settler or en
tryman under the homestead' or des
ert lands acts, Initiated prior to the
brder of withdrawals made under the
proposed law.
Western Senators will attach the
$30,000,000 Irrigation bill tC this witn
drawal bill before It passes the Sen
ate, and hope by this means to insure
the early adoption ot both measures,
Under the bill the President is au
thorized to withdraw temporarily from
settlement from location, sale or en
try- any public lands and reserve
them tor power sites, irrigation, clas
sification of lands or other publlo
purposes. -
Development May Be Retarded.
Development of the West is going
to be retarded materially for the next
year or two, and perhaps longer, be
cause ot the failure of Western Sen
ators and Representatives in Con
gress to agree upon and secure the
passage of a practical reform of the
public land laws, for under legislation
that will be enacted the President will
be empowered to, and has given no
tice that he will, withdraw desirable
lands from entry and so hold them
until Congress provides adequate and
sensible means for their disposal.

Delay Lorlmer Investigation.
If the Senate investigates the elec
tion of Senator Lorlmer, In response
to his demand to have an Inquiry into
the bribery charges made in Illinois,
the committee will not begin Its work
before next Winter,' it Is believed.
Lorlmer asked immediate action on
his resolution, but his colleagues ruled
that it should take the regular course.
The Senators feel that tboy can de
vise more comfortable occupation dur
ing the bot Bummer days than to sit
for weeks as members ot an Investi
gation committee. If the Inquiry
shoutS be made, this committed would
sit In Washington and send for the
necessary witnesses.
Senators were not disposed to com
ment on the case. Tbey will reserve
opinion pending the receipt of more
complete Information. Whether there
shall be an Investigation may depend
on the result ot the proceedings in
the Illinois courts.
