attorney General BOnaparte made the
declaration that there is no such thing as
the so-caled armor plate trust The mat
ter came mp before the committee in con-
uection with the bids for armor plate for
the South Carolina and Michigan, the
contracts for which We're divided among
the three bidders. despite the fact that
the bid of the Midvale company was much
lower than those of the Carnegie and
Bethlehem companies
Mr.. Padgett Il member of the commit
tee. asked if the effect Of Mr. Bonaparte' s
action. when Secretary OF the Navy, IN
dividing the contract did not, in effect
serve notice upon the trust that it would
get a part of the contracts regardless of
its bid.
In answer Mr., Bonaparte declared that
/ there was no trust AS regards the Car
negie and Bethlehem companies The
Bethlehem company, he said. is not in
the steel trust. But" he continued, lit
was generally supposed. and I think prob
ably with reason. that the two companies
mentioned had formed a combination, had
formed an agreement among themselves.
that they would make Identical bids in
the years past They did not adhere to
that agreement, if there was any such
agreement, with the bids which they made
this year. I do not think it would have
had the effect suggested. I think that the
result would be to make them understand
! that the department was going to act on
the principle Of getting armor at the
lowest possible rate for the government.

gencies of the situation"

dueed and Bill Finally Passed.
Session II short.

A spirit Of economy moved upon the
/ members Of the House yesterday, and was
followed by-substantiaI affirmative action.
The Committee on Appropriations had
/ recommended the abolition Of nine of the
eighteen pension agencies now in exist
ence, but, after thrashing out the cues

store the remaining nine 20 the general

out division adopted a motion offered by
Mr.. Gardner. of Michigan, tn charge Of
the bill. to abolish all the agencies save
the one az Washington. The salary Of the
agent here remains as previously fixed
$4,000 year.
This was followed 10y a reduction of the
appropriation for clerk hire from S37o.e00
TO $50 900, and the elimination Of an item
of 81 500 for inspection Of agencies
Mr.. Tawney. chairman of the Commit
tee on Appropriations. said that 235 clerks
at Washington could do the v 1rk now re-
quiring the services Of f35 clerks at the
several agencies.
With these changes the appropriation
bill was passed.

Embarrassing Dilemma.
To a second letter from Gen. Morre1,
asking whether it would be possible to dis
miss without trial under the act as it now
stands, Mr.. Baker replied that it would be
impossible to forecast what view a court
would take Of the matter
Concluding his letter, Mr., Baker says:
IF may indulge in making another sug-
gestion about the proposed bill, 1 should
say that great embarrassment must result
if. by section /. the teachers who have
been legally dismissed be continued in
the positions they formerly held. What
will be done with those that have been
legally appointed in their steads? The
board will not be able to dismiss these
later ones without trial. and as they can-
not be charged with anything they must
remain in the service; thus leaving TWO
persons for the one position and the one
pay.
If 1t be the policy of Congress to allow
appeals from the decision of the board. /
think the new section is adequate for the
purpose"
Gen. MorreH on receipt OF this letter
telephoned a further inquiry 10 Mr.. Baker
in regard To reinstating dismissed teach
ers. to which Mr.. Baker made the fol-
lowing answer in writing:
1t would seem to me to be III ADVISED
to attempt - reinstate the teachers that
have been discharged If they have been
Illegally discharged they have right in
the courts. and the courts can give them
their remedy If. on the other hand, the
discharge has been legal the attempt to
restore them would place them in the
position where two persons would be
claiming the same position. with the
same pay. with provision for only one.

DIFFERENCES ON IMMIGRATION

The conrerees Of the Senate and

disagreement are first the amendment

Il transmit herewith a report and sub

trict Of Columbia. l agree with the rec
ommendation Of Mr.. Drake that what is
needed is an insurance law for the Dis
trict Of Columbia on the lines OF the So
called Ames BILL already introduced in the
House Of Representatives, revising It so
as TO include in II ali desirable features
Of the. so-cailed unifoTa bill. With proper
notifications after expert revision. this
bill could be enacted into law so com
prehensive and just that It would stand
as model of equity / regret greatly
that there is not national power TO deal

seems al present to be the case, We should
