fore acceding to the demands Post
master Wilcox sought official advice
This has been given by the comptrol-
Ter in the following words. while
in my judgment you are not author
lied to turn over to the post Office in
spector in question the money due
Waters for his past services, yet you
are justified, under the facts set out
in retaining said sum due Waters
thereby giving the persons who lost
by his embezzlement, an opportun-

ment or otherwise, to show and assert
any rights they may have to the mon

But the Senate has a reputation for
legislating very carefully Nowhere is
that rule of closely scrutiniz;ng every
thing more scrUpulously applied than
in the Finance Committee, which has
to deal with measures affecting gov
eminent revenues. 1t invariably hap
pens that every revenue bill before
that committee is considered in detail
and by men who have been experts in
revenue matters for years. The atten-
ton OF Senator Allison, for instance. TO
the free alcohol bill is desired by the
committee. He is one of the best ex-
perts on internal revenue legislation
in the Senate. having given it study
Tor thirty years. But Mr.. Allison has
been i'll for nearly a week and has also
been much engaged, when he was able
TO get out, on the railroad rate regula-
ton bill. He has been appointed on
the subcommittee along with Mr.. AL
drich and Mr.. Hale. That sub-commit-
tee is composed of the strongest men
in the Senate.
While the benefits of a free alcohol
law are conceded. it is claimed on COM
petent authority that the cost of al
cohol will not be as little as many of
the representations have led people to
believe. Statements before the House
Committee on Ways and Means We're
that alcohol could be produced at from
Is to 20 cents a gallon, where now it
costs about 81 a gallon. The cost I'M
der the proposed new law Will prob
ably be nearer so cents a gallon than
twenty-five cents a gallon. That, how
ever, would be an enormous reduction
and would make alcohol, denaturized,
available for use in the arts and also
as fuel to a much greater extent
than is now possible.

islands. They seem well disposed to
such plans. That, I think important,
for it means that the appropriations
will be allotted to the islands as soon
as the money can be had. But tie trou-
BILE now is that the general apE -opria-

Gals have not the money to spend. But
I have been much impressed by the
friendly attitude of officials toward
Hawaii. They are now beginning to
fully understand our conditions"
