Amendment Was Offered to Pay to the Heirs of Soldiers Who Died in Service Two Months
 Extra Pay.

Washington, March 2S-The house today devoted practically the whole day to the army appropriation bill. Several minor amendments were adopted, and about haH the bill was covered. There was a good deal of extemporaneous debate during the day. MT. DEgggs, New York, created di- version by charging reckless extravaganza in the fitting up of the transport Sumner, and precipitated a lively tilt upon the sub iect He gave notice that later he should ask the house to investigate the subject.
 Mr. Fitzgerald of Massachusetts offered an amendment to the bill to pay to the hei-s of officers and enlisted men in the regular army who have died in the service since January 1, 1908, two months extra pay. The amendment went out on a point of order.
 MT. Ash of Wisconsin, on behalf of tine committee, offered an amendment to re- duce the appropriation for travel allow ance to enlisted men on discharge from S3,O00,000 to $2, 900, and to provide for the computation of mileage at the rate of cents per mile. MT. Ash explained that dis charge mileage now computed under an old statue, passed in 1912, by which, for instance, a colonel would be allowed $2,39s to travel from San Francisco to Washing ton, whereas his railroad fare would be but S7f.

Cannon Contributed Eulogy

Mir Cannon of Illinois contributed to the debate an eulogy of the quartermaster- general of the army, who, he was con- vinced, would not be guilty of undue ex- travagance.
 MT. Lentz offered an amendment provid- ing that no part of the money appropriated for the pay of the army should be paid to the son of any member of congress who had secured his appointment since the de- struction of the battleship Maine. It was ruled out on a point of orCer.
 Recurring to a newspaper article read oy Mir Driggs, Mr. Wheeler of Kentucky de- livered an appeal against extravaganza. If it was unpatri to protest against that, he said he was willing to take the respon- sibility of being unpatriotic.
 Mir Cochran of Missouri also inveighed against profiigacy in expenditures.
 Without completing consideration of the bill the conference report on the urgent deficiency and pension appropriation bills were agreed to, and at 5:10 D. m. the house adjourned.

he summers Fittings

Speaking ito a proforma amendment, MT. Driggs, of New York called attention to a newspaper article describing the luxuri- ous fittings of the transport Summer, which, he said, was remodelled at an enormous cost MT. Driggs said the enormity of the extravaganza in the fitting of the ship was beyond credence. An $S000 silver service had been placed in her, he said, with cut glass tumb.ers which cost 10 cents apiece. The palatial furnishings of the sumner were such as could be found nowhere except upon a millionaire's yacht. He contrasGed the condition of this transport with those employed by the government when the so.- diers were being sent out to fight their country's battles during the Spanish war.
 MT. Driggs said he intended to irI,roduce a resolution to investigate the extravaganza in fitting up the Sumner
 MT. Hull said the other side was now Cc- cupying a strange position. During tine war their complaint was that the trans ports were not good enough. Now the com p.aint was that our soldiers were to be treated too we'll. MT. Hull eulogized our transport system, which, he said, was the best in the world. If there was reckless ex- travagance in fitting out the transports MT. Hull said this information could be obtained at the war department.
 Mir Driggs said his only desire was to criticise unjustifiable extravaganza.

The legislature is wrestling with the
State Normal School problem. We
do not know what they will do with it,
whether they viii establish four new
normals or none. We think they
ought to establish just one new one
now, and put it at Atlantic, Red Oak,
or some other good town with rail road
connections in the south west part of
the state. Half dozen state normal
schools over Iowa would weaken the
magnificent state normal at Cedar
Falls and make weaklings of them all.
One in south west Iowa would give
this section of the state some of the
opportunities enjoyed by the opposite
side of the state. Then there is no
doubt that two strong and creditable
state normal schools could be main
tanned. But the Legislators, many of
them, look out less for the interest of
the entire state than for their own
particular locality, hence four or none
may be the only solution, and that is
absolutely bad.
