THE HOUSE.

Washington, March 2.-Thc House de voted the entire day to consideration o the District of Columbia appropriatio, bill. but did not conclude action on tht measure.
 The municipal building item aroused ex. tended discussion owing to the proposal of the committee to have all branches ot the District Government in one struc- ture. Objection was urged especially to placing the Police Court in the ne'S building. Mir. Burkett (Neb.) suggested that if the Police Court were not placed there. Congress would be called on for another million dollars for new court building. Efforts to amend the provision failed.
 Mir. Bartlett CGa.) proposed an amend ment fixing the rates to be charged :n the district for telephones at from S:i to $50 each per annun. alleging the eX5r- else of an extraordinary monopoly. " This was amended On motion of Mir. Hepburn 0a.), so that no rates in excess of those provided for the District can De charged by any company for telephones In private residences in the District Ln- der penalty of a forfeiture of rights.
 Mir. Hepburn said: This telephone company has been operating in defiance of the act Of Congress for nearly Sax years. There is an act limiting the price 1t may charge for service. It completely disregards 1t. probably because no pen atty is attached to 1t: there is no pro- vision working for forfeiture of the charter in case of violation. and there fore the company Is willing to htigate the matter in the courts. and to go on with its robbery"
 The amendment as amended then was adopted without a dissenting voice.

CHARGES SUPT. HAYES WITH
 DISPOSING OF $19,995.1
Examiner Wilkinson Says Wilcox Superintendent O1 Education Has No Legal Vouchers for That Amount.
 Charges That Pay Rolls Were Padded.

| Charges that W. L.. Hayes, County Superintendent of Education of Wilcox County. had disposed of the enormous sum of $19,995.n without the authority of law; and that he had entered upon the pay roll and kept 1t there the name of a prominent Alabama educator are start ling features of report submitted to Governor JellSs yesterday by Assistant Examiner of Public Accounts W. F. Will kinson.
 | The report declares that superinten- dent Hayes has recklessly and carelessly paid out the school money without re- gard to law. He did this in paying teach- CTS who had no certificates and in pay Ing money to teachers who made no re- port to the County Superintendent as re- quired by law.
 Judge Wilkinson declares further that the affairs of the office have been ad- ministered in a reckless way, the State lexamination being a mere farce. He says teachers during these examinations were allowed to go scot free and do as | is common talk that many teachers paid s and $10 to get their questions an- swered.
 The report of Examiner Wilkinson on Mir. Hayes's books in full is as follows: His books upon their face show that all money has been paid out and the bal ancc in his hands of s127 80 was in the bank of Camden as certified to by the assistant cashier. He has. however. recklessly and carelessly paid out the school money without regard to law. I find that he has contract for all except s69.50. which is shown in Exhibit c, at- tached hereto. That he has paid out to teachers which the records of the De- pertinent of Education show that they did not hold certificates covering time for which they were paid to the amount of $3,159.49, marked exhibit A; that he paid the teachers who made no report the amount of $16,770.72. Exhibit B.

charge against Mir. Hayes. In my inves- tigation I will state that gave Mir. Hayes every possible opportunity to ex- plain these matters and that I accepted and gave him credit for anything when he made any showing that could possi- bly, be accepted. In my investigations find where a prominent educator, living in different section of the State had been paid s90 and his name was actually signed to a contract to teach in A cer- tain township and range in Wilcox Coun- ty. In justice to this educator I will say that I have no idea he ever saw or heard of the contract. The affairs of the ofice have been administered in a reck- less way; the examination of teachers a farce. they being turned scot free to go and do as they pleased during the exam ination. It was common talk that many teachers paid from s to sl0 to get their extended from October. 1901. to Febru- ary, 1904.
 The State officials will take immedi- ate action towards reaching settlement with Superintendent Hayes. Mir. Hayes is a candidate in the Wilcox primary for reelection.
 Reports. upon the books of the other officials of Wilcox County were handed in by Examiner Wilkinson The books of Tax Assessor O. H. Spencer were re- ported to be correctly and legally kept. The Examiner reports, however, that the land of Wilcox County is assessed at only 51 per cent of its actual value
 Sheriff c. l.. Albritton, 1t was foun1, h"d made an error In his feed bills of .j.So. This was promptly paid by the Sheriff.
 Judge of Probate J. F. Beard had not collected two small corporation fees of $10 each. The records of the office, how ever, showed that the Judge had made attempts to collect the fees There was small error of 70 cents in the mortgage tax records and this was promptly cor rected. .. .
 The books of Circuit Clerk J. F. Foster and Tax Collector Joe Lambert were found to be correct in every particular. They had fully complied with all the laws in reference to their office.
