VASE IN PUBLIC pRrNq1xa
Joint Congress Committee POints out ways
~ 70 Save Money,

TO Save Money,
WASHINGTON, March ga, preliminary
report on the subject Of public printing
was to-day presented to the Senate by
Chairman Plat Of the Joint Congressional
Committee on Printing.
The committee also submitted two Joint
resolutions, with the object Of carrying
into effect their recommendations for
reform in two directions. The first is In
regard to the distribution Of documents
by Senators and Representatives. Under
the existing system each member OF either
body is allotted the same number OF copies
of q publication, without the slightest regard
to the needs OF his constituents.
Thus the North Dakota Representatives
nave the same quota Of Feports- on citrus
fruits as have the Florida members, and
the members from the thickly populated
districts Of New York city have the came
ture as the member from Nevada. The
result 10 the accumulation Of unused doou-
ments there being now stored In Govern
mept warehouses; 9,63s tons OF such matter,
and this regardless Of the fact that thou
sands Of, tons have been sold In recent
years to Junk dealers.
Without changing the number allotted TO
each Senator or Representative, the DOM:
mittee recommends that the first edition Of
any given document be limited to the num-
Der that would actually be used, and II that
Ia exhausted another edition be printed.
As illustrating the point, tho committee
refers to the printing Of 1892 copies OF the
impeachment proceedings against Judge
Swayne, which oost96 729, and TO the fact that
100 copies remain undistfibuted, with no
probability Of a future demand: To print
a second edition would. cost only $S5, and
the saving would have been 9 1884:
The bound Congregational Records for the
second session Of the Fifty-elghth Congress
comprised %, 100 volumes, costing 1922, 1923,
Of which 81 ,565 volumes are undistributed.
A second edition would entail an extra cost
Of 81 226. This saving would be SIS, ll5.
The second recommendation Of the COM
mittee is that the printing for the various
executive departments over which there is
no supervision be placed under control OF
the Public Printer, az q sound business
proposition which would result IN a great
saving.
The House to-day considered the ques-
ton of printing reform recommended by
the Joint committee. 1t first took up the
joint resolution introduced by MI. Lands
Of Indiana on Saturday, authorizing the
number Of copies OF the editions of Gov
eminent publications.
Mr.. lands said the Joint committee be-.
lieved that the changes suggested would
result in the saving OF q million dollars in
the printing bill in the first year Of their
operation.
The Joint resolution was passed; also n
relieving. the appropriation for Congress
sional printing from being charged with the
cost Of any department reports or docu-
ments, except for that portion Of the edition
distributed by Congress: The hson 1T Is e es-
Grease In the amount Of printing ordered
by the several departments.

GEN WOODS MILEAGE.
His Travelling Expenses From Manila n
Back Paid on Presidents Order.


WASHINGTON; March 2e.-secretary Taft
explained to the Military Affairs Commit
tee Of the Senate to-day the mileag
and expense account allowed to Gen,
Leonard Wood and HE aide on account Of
Gen. Woods trip from Manila to Boston
last summer to undergo a surgical
operation; and the return via London.
The information was elected by Senator
0verman (Dem.; N. C.), who brought out
the fact also that Gen. II. G.. Corbin had
rendered an account for milea &c allowances
when he returned to the United States,
which had been approved by the War De-
.partment.
Secretary Taft said'that the total allow
ance to Gen. Wood amounted to $1,000.
Gen. Wood first asked for leave Of
absence to come to the United States
without stating the object Of his visit
and it was allowed, but later, when 10
was learned that the object of his coming
was to undergo a surgical operation, the
order was changed to put GEN. Wood on
duty and allow him expenses, a practice
officers go to the hospital for treatment,
Gen. Wood returned by way OF London
On orders Of the President, who desired
him to consult an eminent English surgeon,
and under orders OF the President the e8"
penses were paid.
Secretary Taft said that an error was
discovered in allowing expenses on the
trip over, and the order was modified to
cut, out expenses via Hongkong and COM.
pute them direct from Manila to Boston.
Mr., Taft said the President was responsible
for Gen. Woods return via London. the
General having been DESTROYS OF going back
across the Pacific until the President or
dered him to London for treatment.

Ger was allowed mileage while travelling
son an ocean liner?# inquired Senator Over
1T is not" replied the Secretary with
a smile, Gen Corbin asked mileage
when he travelled on the Manchuria, but It
was dhallowed."
There were a number Of questions pro-
pounded by Democratic Senator's In an effort
TO bring o the cause OF Gen: woods injury
and the nature OF the accident, but these

record Of the hearing.

CHANGES IN BALLOT Law.
Separate Tally Sheets for Each OGice and
New Rules for Counting.

ALBANY, March 2e.-The action Of Senator
John Ramos tonight would indicate that
the official ballot as used In this State Is
not to be changed except in some minor
particulars. Senator Raines likes to be re-
ferred to as the father Of ballot reform in
this State, and refuses to aver consider
amendments to the election law which do
not emanate from his fertile brain. To-
night he introduced amendments to the
election law, but he practically leaves the
blanket official ballot unchanged except
in regard to indie pendent nominations.

or more parties or independent bodies

POSTUM CEREAL.
A TROUBLE MAKER
Coffee Poison Breeds Variety OF Ills.

A California woman who didn't know
for twenty years what kept her i'll, writes
to tell how she won back health by quitting
coffee:
Il am 81 years old" she says, 'have
used coffee all my life and for 20 years
suffered from indigestion and insomnia.
Life was a burden and a drag to me all
the time, and about once a year my all
meuts got such hold upon me that l was
regularly sick in bed for several weeks
each time
Il was reluctant to conclude that coffee
was the cause of my trouble, but l am
thankful that l found out the truth.
sThen l determined to use Postum Food
Coffee exclusively--for a week at first
for / doubted my ability TO do without
the old kind of coffee for any length Of
time. l made the Postum carefully, as
directed and before the week expired had
my reward in a p~erceptible increase in
strength and spirits.
.Seeing the good that my short expert
ment had accomplished, 1 resolved to con-
tinue the use Of Postum Food Coffee, cut
ting out the old kind Of coffee entirely.
This l did for nine months. finding, daily,
increased cause for qualification at my
steadily improving health My indiges-
ton gradually left me, my sleep returned,
/ gained 20 pounds in weight, lay color
changed from a sallow to a fresh, rosy hue
and life became a blessing,
Then 1 thought l would try the old kind
Of coffee again, apd did so for a few weeks.
The punishment for deserving my good
friend, Postum, was a return of my old
troubles.
THAT taught me wisdom, and ! am now
and shall be all my life hereafter using

VIOLATIONS OF EIGHT HOUR Law.
The President Directs Bureau Of Labor to
Make q Complete Investigation.

Make q Complete Investigation.
WASHINGTON, March 28.-President Roose-
welt has directed the Bureau Of Labor to
make a complete investigation Of the charges
preferred by the American Federation Of
Labor that the national eight hour law Is
being grossly violated in many instances.
Charles p. Neill; the Commissioner Of Labor,
had a conference with the President In
response to a summons from the White
House, and Mr.. Roosevelt's wish that the
allegations made by the federation last
week be sifted thoroughly was made known
to Mr.. Neill.
The President had already directed that
each of the executive departments Of the
Government report to the Secretary OF
Commerce and labor any violations OF the
eight hour law which may have been
brought to It's notice; also that all cases Of
specific complaint in this regard be re-
ported to the same authority. The Secre-
tarv of Commerce and Labor will turn such
reports over to Commissioner Neill, and an
investigation Of each case on its merits will
follow.
II may be necessary for the Bureau OF
Labor to employ additional inspectors in
order to carry out the work contemplated
by the President.

ELEVENTH AVENUE BILL A Law.
Gov. Higgins Signs II and Gives His Reasons
in Memorandum

in Memorandum.
ALBANY, March 26.-The SaSe-Stanley
bill, providing for the removal of the New
York Central railroad tracks from Eleventh
avenue, was signed by the Governor this
afternoon. Gov. Higgins accompanied his
signature with the following memorandum
The Immediate purpose Of this bill Is to
REQUIRE the New York Central Railroad to
remove Is tracks from the surface OF Eleventh
avenue in said city. and 80 to terminate the
present use Of said avenue by said railroad.
which is now operated by steam locomotive
power at grade. No one contends that the
company should continue indefinitely TO
enjoy it's present privileges, which are adj
mitted to be a menace to public safety. 1t
IA desirable to move at once in the right direc-
ton toward the accomplishment of q plain
duty, II the bill is not fatally defective.
The bill Is objected to on constitutional and
engineering grounds. II IL said that 1t is a local
act which embraces more than one subject. and
that 1t therefore ~contravenes the provisions OF
the Constitution that mo local bill shall ems
brace more than one subject. and that shall
be expressed in the title" Constitution. article
III, section le). If, however. the provisions
relating to the collateral subject are not in
any way connected with or dependent upon
the main subject and may DO stricken out,
leaving the residue OF the act complete and
sensible and capable OF being executed. the
act with the void provisions eliminated Is
valid. The objection. II any. which exists
on this ground ia not fatalto the main purpose
OF the bill.
The bill provides for proper compensation
and due process of law. and while II imposes
q heavy burden upon the railroad company
by compelling 1t TO construct a subway or
leave the avenue entirely. Is must be remem-
bered that said company has for many years
past enjoyed the use Of a principal thorough
fare OF the city Of New York for Its railroad
tracks, in derogation Of the rights Of the public
and In q manner necessarily interfering with
the legitimateuse Of the avenue as q highway,
and fraught with danger to life and limb.
Railroad companies obtaining such privileges
do so at the risk Of losing them after years OF
enjoyment, when conditions as to popula-
ton change and that which was perhaps
@ rcusable In the first instance becomes an
intolerable abuse. In measuring the equities
OF the preeen IL Is well to consider the special
advantages enjoyed In the past.
I am not seriously concerned with the en-.
cheering problems presented In the plan
for a proposed subway. II such plan is i'm
practicable, by reason OF expense or other
conditions, the ompany Is not required to
undertake im~possibllities, but 1t may take its
tracks entirely out Of the avenue. II it elects
to do SO It will receive compensation for all
lawfully existing privileges which are hereby
taken from II.

jects of the Car, and even if far-reach-
ing concessions were feasible, they would
hardly be in the Jewish interest. Stoly
pin entertained no doubts as to the ac
tive participation of the Jews in the rev.
olutionary movement, but at the same
time deplored anti-Jewish eXcesses, and
said that he had taken steps to prevent
a recurrence of massacres.
In both interviews Stolypin enacted
the role Of the bureaucrat to perfection.
The Jewish condition is the direct result
Of governmental action and inaction.
"Jews have been wounded and killed;
what have they to say of their condi-
tion?" The plea Of ignorance is always
brought forward in moments Of indeci-
sion. Then when some decision has been
reached, the Jewish condition becomes
quite well known, and the premier be-
rates the Jews for their revolutionary
tendencies, and declares that the whole
matter rests with them. The folly Of in
terceding with the bureaucratic govern
ment does not seem to impress the presl-
dent of the Hilfsverein.

Premier Stolypin has announced that
he is in no way an anti-Semite. In an
interview which appeared in the Temps
from it's St. Petersburg correspondent,
he said that the Jews ought to be con-
suited relative to their condition, assum-
ing, probably, that the government is not
sufficiently informed on the subject.
Subsequently Stolypin granted an inter
view to DR.. Paul Nathan, president Of
the Hilfsverein, who was on a visit to
ST. Petersburg. In that interview, Stoly-
pin closely questioned his visitor in re-
gard to public opinion on the continent
on the treatment Of the Jews in Russia.
When informed of the state of public
opinion by DR.. Nathan, Stolypin ex-
pressed the conviction that the Jewish
question was far from soluble, and that
it's solution ultimately depended upon the
conduct Of the Jews themselves. For the
present, he said, it was impossible to

Few lives have been so stepped in sorrows

Pittsburg, Sept. 14.-John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Workers
of America, has arrived here for the
purpose Of comforting with the OIL
cials of the Pittsburg district. Refer
ring to the general conditions OF the
mine workers throughout the country
he said:
"The miners have never been In

the present time has less trouble on
its hands than 1t ever had before"
In answer to an inquiry relative to
the entry OF the American Federation
of Labor into politics Mr.. Mitchell
said:
Being officially connected with the
federation the move certainly has my
hearty endorsement We aim In this
campaign to stand by our friends and
to resolutely oppose the men who are

Mr.. Mitchell was asked concerning
the attitude of labor leaders In Illinois
on the reelection of Speaker Joseph

Joe has got pretty stiff majority
behind him."
Beyond that Mr.. Mitchell would not
make any comment.
