sILCoTa's BIG STEAL.
Congress to Be Asked to Make
Good the Losses. go

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19-The special
house committee investigating the Sill
colt defalcation has at last agreed upon
a report. by the terms of which an APP
preparation will be asked to make good
the losses sustained by the members of
the house. Mr.. Holman and Mr.. Hemp
hill could not be induced to unite with
the majority in this agreement. MIR.
Holman wished TO have the $4,000
remaining in the sergeant-at-arms'
Office distributed first to the men,
bers who had money on depo-
sit and lost it, (the total being about
sS0.O0O) and to have the remainder di-
yided pro rata among the members who
lost their November salaries. Mr..
Hemphill favored the reference of the
case 20 the court of claims. Against
this proposition 1t was argued that con-
gress could not compel any one To make
up case before the court of claims. or
while in the absence of further legisia-
ton any member had the right to go
before that tribunal and sue for his lost
salary. The committee, therefore, ac-
cepted Mr.. Helman's view as far as it
went, but added another clause proyid-
ing for the passage of an appropriation
of SO much money as might DO neceS-
sary to make good the
DEFICIENCIES IN SALARIES
after the distribution of the funds ON
hand. IL was estimated that abOat
$4,000 would cover this deficiency. In
view of the necessity for securing the
concurrence of the senate, and also in
anticipation OF a good deal of debate
in the huuse upon the bill which will
be prepared. the committee decided it
would withhold its report until after
the holiday recess, as nothing could be
gained by bringing it in one day before
the recess. A separate bill will also be
reported making the sergeant alarms
discussing officer, and including the
other provisions of Representative
Payne's bill. Five of the seven mein-
berS of the committee, including the
chairman, hold that the sergeant-at-
arms was public officer, and that indi-
vidual members were Justified by the
usage and official recognition extending
over many years III so regarding him,
and that the loss by the malfeaSance of
SiIcott should be borne by the public
treasury and not by members of con-
greSs, who have not received the COM
pensation to which they are entitled by
law. The committee also hold that the
government. -
WOULD NOT BE JUSTIFIED
in taking the special deposits left with
the sergeant-at-armS for the purpose of
applying 1t toward the payment of the
laries due by the government, and
therefore that such personal funds
should be restored to the private OWN
ers. By the proposed pro rata arrange
ment those who have regularly drawn
their salary up to November would
have the advantage of sharing in the
amounts that other members had left
undrawn. which the majority of the
committee regard as indefensible.

SALT LAKE, Utah. Dec. 19.-The
Utah commission met here week ago
last Monday to hear Mormon charges
against deputy registration officers for

officers were favoring the Gentiles and
discriminating against Mormon voters.
The case closed to-day. Tonight the
commission decided that the charges
are not sustained and quote from de-
cision of Judge Zane, that registration
officers have discretionary duties as
well as ministerial. and while up TO GER
