BIG RENTAL FOR GOTHAM
CUSTOM HOUSE KILLED

Washington, Feb. 25.--In the house
Of representatives the fight of many
years waged against the appropriation
OF $13o6oo for the rental of the old
New York custom house resulted in
victory, Mr.. Hemenway of Indiana,
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations. being unable to muster SUI
ficient strength to retain the provision
in the bill, The opposition was led by
Mr.. Sulzer. OF New York, supported
by Mr. Williams, OF Mississippi, the
minority leader, both of whom de-
nounced the expenditure as a public
scandal and in the interest Of the
Standard Oil Co., which it was alleged
was behind the National City bank, the
purchaser of the building from the
government. Although the bank was
alleged to have bought the property
for $4,000, 900 and to have credited the
amount to the government, it Develop
ed that no title had passed to it and
that in consequence it was paying no
taxes to the state of New York The
failure of the government to give a
deed was ascribed to be due to the in
fuence of the Standard Oil Co. The
action in striking out the provision was
on a strictly party vote
