Visited by an Inspector.
The trouble over DR.. Hughes admin
istration arose along in october. An in
spector went into the office, and In look
ing through the cash drawer, found the
due bills mentioned. which are said to
have been signed by prominent men in
the state. The names of Internal Reve-
nue. Collector Joseph Thompson. patron
age referee In Alabama; Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Steele and Reuben f.
Kolb, candidate for railroad commissioner
and claimant of the governors Of
flee at the time it was held by Thomas
G. Jones, now federal judge, have been
mentioned in connection with these trans
actions.
Whoever signed the due bills fully in
tended to pay them, as far as the depart
ment knows and there was nothing to in
dictate but that Postmaster Hughes was
going to make good every penny. but the
department is very strict about the hand
ling of its moneys. which must be
promptly deposited in some bank or other
authorized custodian of government
funds.
Postmaster General Wynne said yester-
day that he did not know yet who Post
master Hughes successor would be- No
one has yet came forward for the appoint
ment
Collector Tebbetts has been in WASH
ington a good deal in the last two or three
months. He has had some lively quar-
rels with Internal Revenue Collector
Thompson, who is not supporting him for
denomination. Major Tebbetts is a young
man. originally from New York, who
married into a prominent southern fam
fly, and has a good standing with many
of the best people in Alabama. He is in
clined to take the southern democratic
view of racial conditions in the south.
and does this so emphatically that many
of his republican brethren resent 1t. So
the fight for his denomination has been
prolonged. The case has been with Pres
ident Roosevelt for some time.

is also a subject of political controversy.
Barker is identified with the "black and
tan" element in Alabama politics, which.
under present conditions. is sufficient to
make him a target for the opposition.
This is the element that is fighting Col
lector Tebbetts, who is trying to build up
a white mans party.

Brundige Attacks Measure.

Mr.. Brundige of Arkansas severely at
tackled the provision appropriating $780,
900 for the construction of sea-coast bat
teries in the insular possessions, saying
1t was a most extravagant and useless
expenditure. He entertained the hope, he
said that at some time the United States
would be able to rid herself of those
possessions that have proven a bur-
den and a tax upon this country" The
appropriation, he declared. would fortify
nothing and protect nothing. A motion
by him to strike out the provision was
lost, 50 to "A. When the concluding para
graph of the bill was reached relating to
the remission of duties on such war ma
terials as might be purchased abroad.
Mr. Baker offered an amendment strik-
ing out that feature of the bill and in
quired of Mr.. Littauer if that had been
incorporated at the request of the Sec
rotary of War"
Yes" said Mr.. Littauer 'the present
and all former secretaries"
Baker Scores Taft.
Mr.. Baker charged that Secretary Taft
was a member of an administration
which advanced the proposition that the
foreigner pays the tax. Now why" he
inquired, ARE you going to make this
present to the foreigner" II the for
eigner was to have his goods admitted
free, he asked, why does the republican
administration which is so solicitous for
American labor, not tax the foreigner
and compel him to pay that tax into the
American treasury?'
Mr.. Littauer responded that it was not
the time for the question to be discussed
Mr.. Baker exclaimed, ooh, yes, it is
always the time when you people are
shown to be frauds in your contention
that the foreigner pays the tax. That
is always appropriate
$ Mr.. Baker wanted to know how the re-
publican party could Consistently come
here and say that 1t is going to remit
from the foreigner the tax he ought to
pay on the goods brought into the United

call a halt in the so-called Endicott
scheme of Notifications in existence since

gurs as well as in the of smokeless
powder, he attributed as important fac

Lessons Learned From Port Arthur.
Mr.. Littaur spoke of the great lessons
learned from the situation at Port Ar
thur and said the conditions there DEM
orstrated first, the efficiency of the sub
marine, and second, from the land side,
the practical uselessnesS of guns of long
renge without the proper system of d.
rection and fire control. He instanced the
fact that the Japanese gun fire had only
sunk two ships. whereas the Russians
had lost through submarine mines seven
battleships, nineteen cruisers and thirty
six torpedo boats and destroyers. He de-
Tended the appropriation for submarine
mines, saying their Importance was of the

ships.
Mr.. Baker, New York ridiculed the
idea of technical advisers to Congress and
then launched into an attack of the pol
icy which permitted a bill such as the
one under consideration to be brought
UP without notice
Mr., Baker vigorously condemned the
bill as a waste of public money When
it was suggested that he quote scrip
ture, "Oh." said he, when we are led
by a man who worships the war god,
who wants to hold himself up in the
United States as the equal, the equiva-

He concluded by declaring 1t to be the

Nine Torpedo Boats Are Believed to
Be Destined for Russia.

New York, January cit is believed
among shipping men of this port that
the sections which will eventually com.
pose the torpedo boats, built by Lewis
Nixon, were placed on board freight
steamer somewhere in New York har-
Dor or bay today to be shipped to
Russian port. The sections were load
ed on to a barge at Perth Amboy, N.
j., yesterday. and towed down the har-
Dor, where all trace of them was lost.
Mr. Nixon is silent as to their destina-
ton.
The Gregory, another craft built by
Mr.. Nixon, has not been reported since
she sailed from this port yesterday. 1t
was minated today that she also may
have been loaded bodily on the deck
OF transatlantic ship.
