Lands ON EXTRAVAGANCE
Congressman Repeats Assertion That
Million Could Be Saved on
Governnent Printing

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2O,-Supple-
menting his statement regarding eX-
travagance and waste in public print
ing, Charles B. Lands, chairman OF the
subcommittee of the congressional
printing committee charged with an
inquiry into the alleged extravaganza
in the public printing, today insisted
that the statement he made to con-
gress before it's adjournment that the
government could save million dol
lars a year on it's printing bill was not
at all extravagant.
Mr. Lands declared today that "a
printing contagion seems to have swept
over and taken possession of congress
and all departments of the government
to such an extent that an arbitrary re-
duction in the printing appropriations
of from 20 to 25 per cent could be made
without doing violence to the public
welfare"
There are tons upon tons of docu-
ments for which there will never be any
demand piled up in the committee
rooms, and in the various departments
about Washington and the garrets and
woodsheds of senators and representa-
tives throughout the country 1t all
represents waste and extravaganza and
improvidence and the situation fairly
shrieks for correction"

CUNLIFFE STARTS FOR
PITTSBURG WITH OFFICERS
DECLARES HE BURNED $4,000 OF
THE STOLEN MONEY
Discovery Of $4,000 Of the Funds Re-
moves Prisoners Hope of Getting
Lenent Treatment by Telling Its
Hioing Place
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Oct. 20-Ed-
ward George Cunliffe, the Adams Ex-
press employe who disappeared from
Pitsburg. Pa, with $101,0 and was ar
rested here yesterday. started back to
Iittsburg with the detectives today
He seemed more low spirited today
than when first captured. He explained
this by saying he had hoped to arrange
for lenent treatment after reaching
Pittsburg by trading on his secret as to
the whereabouts of the stolen money
but the fact that the detectives recov-
cred $S0,0O0 of the money at Bristol
Conn, last evening removed the pris-
oner's hope in this respect.
After having been told by the deteC-
tives of the recovery of the money Gun
life said that he had burned the rest of
the amount stolen. about $4,000, be-
cause the bills were all of large de-
nomination and all on a certain bank,
making it dangerous for him to carry
them about.
The discovery of the shipment of the
money to Bristol came about through a
local driver of the Adams Express COM
pany, who after Cuniffe's arrest re-
membered tha on October IL he was
called to the Arlington hotel where
Cunliffe had a room and was given a
suit case to be shipped to Brisol, care
of the Electric Express company. The
driver informed the local manager of
the Adams Express company yesterday
of this circumstance, and detectives
were at once sent to Bristol, where they
located the suit case at the home of a
relative of Cunliffe. Joseph w. Board
man. 1t had not been opened and con-
tained $SOOO0 in bills, together with
some clothing.
Cunliffe, according to his own state
ment, did not spend more than $3.50
during the ten days which intervened
between his departure from Pittsburg
and his arrest.
Superintendent of Police Birmingham
does not credit Cunliffe's story about
burning part of the money. The super
intendent believes that the missing 500,
600 is hidden.
A detective employed on the case in
timated that accompliCes are believed
to be holding the missing money for
Cunlffe and that more arrests are
likely. The total amount recovered is
$S0,243. Detectives who went to Bristol
to recover the suit case say that the
money was stuffed in articles of cloth
ing of all sorts. A pair of shoes con-
tanned $4,000 i'm $100 bills and bills OF
the same denomination filled all tbs
pockets of the clothing and crevices
between other articles.
