Mr.. Voorhees, offered an amendment
to the sundry civil bill embodying the
recent resolution of Mr.. wolcott for
participation by the United States in
an international monetary conference.
Mr.. Voorhees, asked that the amend
ment go to the appropriations commit
tee for speedy action, in order that it
be acted upon as part of the sundry
civil bill, and this reference was made.
rs it expected that this reference
shall be made and the committee Sc
lected before adjournment" asked Mr..
Hawley.
THAT Is the understanding" replied
Mr.. Voorhees,.
The sundry civil bill was then taken
up.
Mr.. Cockrell offered a committee
proprlating $4,000 to Col. Ainsworth,
chief of the bureau Of records and PEN
sions of the war department to reim-
burse him for legal expenges resulting
from the Ford theater disaster. An
additional $4,000 for heirs of two addi-
tional victims of Ford's theater disas-
ter was allowed.
Mr.. Berry Dem. Ark) spoke against
the committee amendment reducing
the appropriation for protecting public
timber lands from $4,000 to $4,000. A
letter from the commissioner of the
land office was read. showing the value
OF the service.
Mr.. Berry urged an enlargement of
the service and moved an increase.
Mr.. German said the places in this
service were we'll recognized as COM
fortaSle positionel for political favor
ties" SO gross was the abuse, so useless
the office continued Mr.. German, vehe-
mently that congress cut down the
appropriation Of $4,000 and l regret
to say the officer In authority exceeded
that appropriation by $4,000.
Mr.. Wolcott was even more vigorous
in denouncing this service. Forty thou
sand dollars, he said, was an over
appropriation.
These so-calied timber inspectors.

Nv. are lot OF broken down politicians

II suppose these venerable officers
referred TO by the senator from Color,
| ado" said Mr.. Berry, were appointed
by the last administration"
ut is not a party question" replied
Mr. Wolcott.
'If the senator thinks his party IL
better than mine In selecting timebl
agents he thinks less of his party thar
/ do" .,,.,
Mr.. German resented suggestive
remark Mr.. Berry had made as to an in
crease of many officers out aeSr ie -at
in their pay. Mr.. German declared
that he knew no party in his actions
nm This question and considered only
Ry this time Mr.. Berry was visiblJ
agitated, and he directed himself per
sonally to Mr.. Gornan. ,,t,.s
He ridiculed the civil service require
