Committee yesterday. reached this city
night about IL o'clock. and was met
At the traiu by This T'ules-pispatch cor
respondent Mr.. Kennedy was fully in

testimony before the committee in Rich
mond to-day, and was asked for n state
ment in reply to Messrs. r. c. Bell. Scho-
field, bpok-sellers and others, who tes-
titled, The librarian seemed not the least
worried about the turn things apparently
had taken. putting him in the centre
of the stage. He said that 1t was neces-
sary TO buy tho books for the State cir
cnlating libraries month or more after
the schools had begun their session. In
order to get the Libraries quickly, 1t was
Impossible to go into the open market and
get the books in time to be of much sere-
vice for the present session. 30, by the
direction OF the Library Board, he went
to New York and gave the contract.
Saved Money for State.
Mr.. Kennedy readily admitted that the
books of fiction could have been gotten
cheaper at the department stores than
the State bought them. but only few
could have been gotten at a time. these
here and there. and SO the task would
have been long one and unsatisfactory.
AS TO the other books. such as Swiss
Family Robinson the list furnished the
librarian by the Superintendent OF Public
Instruction specified the edition. pub
Usher and year of publication OF each
book desired. and Mr.. Kennedy says
these books could not have been pur-
chased more cheaply than was done.
Not only so. but the State got flat
cash discount OF twenty-five per cent. on
the contract, the bill amounting to $3.50
and the State actually paying Sl,16O, thus
saving $500.
AS to the report that the Putnams
wanted him to write history of vir-
ginia. 1t was absolutely false. he said,
as he has never been approached by a
representative of that firm with any such
proposition. He was asked by an agent
OF another concern to write such a his
tory. but declined on the ground that he
didn't have the time to undertake It.
wishing to give his whole time to the
State Library
Mr.. Kennedy will reach Richmond via
the Chesapeake and Ohio at 3:45 to-
morrow Crhursday) afternoon. and will
be at the service OF the committee from

Michigan Representative Offers
Bill to Give Army Men
S5,ooo,ooo.
HAVE ALREADY BEEN PAID
Chairman Mahon, OF War. Claims,
Denounces the Bill and Ex-
plains It's Evils.
HAVE ALREADY BEEN PAID
[From Our Regular Correspondent. /


WASHINGTON. d. c., January s.-The
House Committee on War Claims killed
this morning a bill which, had it passed,
would have taken several millions OF
dollars out OF the treasury and placed
tho sum in the pockets of officers and
enlisted men Of the army discharged from
service. The bill was introduced by
Representative Hamilton. OF Michigan
1t was entitled. "a bill regulating the
travel. pay for officers and enlisted men
mustered into the service of the United
States under the act Of March 3 1S99"
Briefly stated. the bill provided that
certain men who have left the army un-
der certain circumstances, and have been
sent to their homes at the expense OF the
government shall be allowed one days
pay and twenty cents a mile for every
mile travelled from the place of muster
spoke In most emphatic terms in denounc-
ing the bill to-day in conversation with
The Times-Dispatch correspondent.
I'VE have to allow many things in ths
way OF claims against the government
which do not stand the closest scrutiny"
he said. THAT is natural. owing to the
vast amount of business done. and the
combinations resulting from circum-
stances. But this was outrageous, 1t ap-
peAred to members of the committee. and
the bill was killed.
Old Law a Graft.
Under tho law as it formerly existed,
officers and enlisted men mustered out
of the service. were allowed, en- route
Ito their homes days pay and COM
mutation of days subsistence
for every twenty miles travelled. A
soldier mustered out in San Francisco.
especially II an officer. would thus re-
ceve quite a snug sum IL his home was
in Georgia. The War Department called
the attention Of Congress to the fact that
several officers and men who We're mus
tered out In the Philippines received a
days pay and communication of subsistence
for every twenty miles travelled to their
home. In this country, and 1t was re-
commended that -the law be changed.
In 1900 Congress enacted law providing
that men discharged from the service
should receive four cents mile as travel-
Ing expenses to their homes,
But men enlisted prior to the date of
tho new law, who have since been mus
tered out OF the service, instituted
movement this winter to secure pay un-
dor the old law at the rate of days
pay and commutation Of rations for every
twenty miles covered In reaching their
homes from the place of muster-out.
Mr.. Hamlltons bill was tho result of the
efforts of the discharged men. who wished
to got several million dollars. $a,O0oO0o
