CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT

In discussing the bill to pay the eX-
penses of the President and his friends
while travelling, Senator Bailey said he
had heard that there had been an in
crease of 800. 600 in expenses during the
incumbency of the president. Il don't
know how that may be, he said. and
all that have to say is that if It is
true he has cost more and is worth less
than any President we have ever had. =
Senator Tillman thought il was intended
that the President should use the APP
preparation in travelling for campaign
purposes in going from one place to
another ito help out lame ducks who
the House" Senator McCumber, re-
publican, found in the provision tend
ency toward European systems, per-
hitting retinue. He said we might
well look forward to the time when
there would be chamberlains, keepers
of this thing and that. He also object
ed to the provision on constitutional
grounds. claiming that the proposed APP
preparation comes within the inhibition
against emoluments and increase in
salary, and supported this point by say
ing that ITO save is to gain, and that
gain is an emoument. The appro-
priation would save money to the Presi-
dent and would thus prove an emolu-
ment. Senator McLaurin objected tC
taxing the people to make class dis
tinction that a man in high position
is better than man in low position
Ii is impossible, he said. to tell wher,
such class movement would end
The man next in line would want the
same allowance. and so on down unit
eventually the working man would bear
all this accumulated burden.
The bill had passed the House OF
Representative by strict party vote,
the day before. II is distinctly
Republican measure and is in keeping
with the theories of that party 1t is
an attempt TO plumber the treasury by
an unconstitutional law; to create class
distinctions and privileges; to enable
the President TO exert an undue influ-
ence over the press by inviting his
press agents to travel with him al
public expense; and to enable him also
to go into doubtful States and work fol
party candidates at public expense.

FESTIVAL OF
The CADETS.
Pre- tty Sight on the Grounds at
Market and Rector Streets
Last Night.

Many Japanese lanterns strung in
circle gave the festival of the West
minister Cadets last night the appear
ance of a Mikado's garden. Here and
there were small tables where one
might rest and partake of the re-
freshments of ice cream. a lemon
ade well supplied the thirsty onesss
and those seeking knowledge entered
the fortune telling tent where the
palm was read for the small sum of
ten cents.
A number of young ladies assisted
the cadets in serving the patrons, for
which the members extend their
thanks.
The success financially was large,
considering the carnival, $25 worth
of tickets being sold on the grounds,
and over 100 quarts of ice cream
were disposed of.
The committee in charge were
Fred Briggs. chairman; Tom Hanson,
Albert Krogh, and Louie Garben.
The festival was held on the lawn
adjoining the Presbyterian chapel at
Market and Rector streets.

EXCISE BOARD
is AFTER THEM

The investigating committee of the
excise board is further looking up
the queer circumstances connected
with the saloon at 81 Charles street.
The matter was left with the inyesti-
eating committee after Commissioner
Hansen had reported at the adjourn
ed meeting Of the board Thursday
night that he had investigated the
place and found that Albert Balabas
owned the license, but that another
man ran the place. 1t was brought
out that this man was clerk OF Bala-
bas'. President Hoy stated that posi-
tice proof had been received that
Joseph Pollock, of 10S Cortlandt
street, had sold his place to another
man and that he had ordered the
place closed.

RUSSIAN
OUTRAGES
Congress Passes Vote Of SYM
: pathy With The Hebrews
in Russia.
HORRIFIED AT REPORTS.

WASHINGTON, June 23 SEN
ate without dissenting vote adopted
joint resolution introduced by Sen
ator McLaurin expressing, sympathy
with the Russian Hebrews on account
of the recent massacres.
BY unanimous vote the house pass
ed the senate resolution expressing the
sympathy Of the people of the United
States with the Hebrews on account of
the massacres of their race in Russia.
The senate resolution reads;
"That the people of the United States
are horrified by the reports of the
massacres of Hebrews in Russia on
account of their race and religion and
that those bereaved thereby have the
hearty sympathy of the people of this
country"
1t will have to be signed by the presi-
dent to be a complete legislative act.
1t does not seem likely that tile Unit
ed States government will be able to
take any steps which will afford relief
TO prosecuted Jews in Russia.
Since the recent massacre the ad-
ministration has been considering re
quests that this government do some
thing to relieve the condition of the
Jews, but the president has not been
able to devise any plan whereby he
can render assistance, and the same
is true of state department officials.
A Berlin. dispatch says that an in
habltant of Bialystok, Russia, who was
present during the entire massacres
there and who has arrived in Berlin,
has given the German Hebrews Aid
society the following account of the
massacre there:
"June IA was the fortieth anniver-
sary of the compulsory adhesion of
many Catholics TO the Orthodox
church, and celebration of the event
was planned. The police and military
were fully armed, apparently prepar-
ing for conflict Though there were
no visible enemies the Jews became
alarmed and sought hiding places.
"On Thursday professions of ol tho
dox Russians and Catholics to the
churches began and were apparently
passing without incident causing
many of the Jews to reopen their
shops Later an uproar began at one
part of the professions, and the rumor
spread that the Jews had thrown a
bomb into the crowd and were tear
ing Russian priest to pieces.
''The crowd shouted, Down with the
Jewsv and thereupon roughs armed
with clubs entered the nearest Jewish
houses and brought the inmates out,
destroying whatever they found with
In.
"The military in the meanwhile be-
gan firing upon the houses of prom
inent Jewish townsmen. and Jews
were taken from their houses, beaten
to death and their bodies mutilated
beyond recognition"

BO I TIERS
LICENSES
INCREASED
Excise Board Raises the Amount
from $50 to $3.50 to Con-
form With Law.
MUST EXPOSE THE BAR.

Beer bottlers will be required to
pay an annual license fee of $3.50,
three times what they pay at pres
ent, if an amendment to section of
the excise ordinance be passed on
third and final reading at the next
meeting of the excise board.
At a meeting of the board Thurs
day night the amendment was offered
by Commissioner Axen as chairman
of the ordinance committee. 1t was
passed on first and second readings,
and laid over until the next regular
meeting for final considerations.
President Hoy stated that he had
seen the city attorney and that he
had advised that it was not necessary
to amend the ordinance to conform
with the state law, and that the state
law must be followed regardless of
any ordinance that might conflict
Herewith.
The saloonkeepers will also have
their license fees raised, as the price
paid at present by them is $3.50, and
the new law places the minimum at
$500
After July 1, the saloons, on Sun
days, will be noticed free from win
dow curtains and other devices that
prevent the public from seeing in
side. The new law says that all sa-
looms must have their bars exposed
at such times when the selling of IL
quor is illegal, such as election days
and Sundays. Hotels are not includ-
ed in the restriction.
