President Thinks 81 Millions
Too Much TO Spend
at This Time
However, He May Be Using
This as Club to Pass
Other Bills

Washington, D. c., May 22.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt already has ''taken
notice. of the $32,00O,OOO public
building bill, although that measure
is still in conference between the two
houses of congress. He today asked
Secretary Cortelyou to prepare re-
port on the measure to guide him
in determining whether to sign or
veto it. Mr. Cortelyou is asked to
include in his report, first, whether
the condition of the public funds
justifies SO large an expenditure for
public buildings at this time; sec
ond, the amount of future expendi-
lures which will be made necessary
to complete the new projects author
lied in the measure, and, third, an
opinion based on the expert judg-
ment of the supervising architect of
the treasury as to the necessity for
each of the projects provided for.
That there is connection between
the presidents desire to be fully in
formed as to the public building bill
and his desire to have passed an anti
injunction bill, and also his desire to
have bills passed appropriating for
ocean mail steamers, is declared to
be most obvious. It is conceded that
no measure passed at this session is
more toothsome to members of both
houses than the public building bill.
The prospect of having this bill
vetoed would cause emphatic con-
Germ and alarm

welt other than those alread men
toned, and which were not enacted,
resulted in compromises. For in
stance, he wanted a national child
labor law. He also asked for the
enactment Of law regulating child
labor in the District Of Columbia
and territories, and the latter. bill
was passed. The construction of
four battleships was urged in a spec
ial message to congress. Appropria-
tion was made for the construction Of
two battleships and the policy of
authorizing two each year was an
nounced by Republican leaders. Au-
thority to name tar1ff commission
and to appoint experts to gather data
with view to the revision of the
tariff at the next session was strongly
advocated. AS result resolutions
were adopted in the senate authoriz-
ing the committee on finance and in
the house authorizing the committee
on ways and means, to conduct indi-
yidual investigations These COM
mittees are empowered to employ
such experts as they need.
Several features were suggested
which were designed to place greater
powers In the hands Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the matter
Of regulating railroad rates. The
only result was that the commission
was given an appropriation Of $780,
600 for the establishment of a sta
tistical and accounting department
of the commission.
An effort was made and is still in
progress in the senate to suspend the
operation Of the commodities clause
of the Hepburn railroad rate act un-
til January 1. 1910.
Some general revision of the Sher-
man antitrust law in the interest
OF both capital and labor was de-
manded and bill was presented by
the national civic federal conven-
tion. After number of hearings
were held before the judiciary COM
mittees of the house and senate it
became evident that the bill stood
no chance of passage.
Questions Of conserving the natur-
al resources was before the session
prominently for many weeks. An

the senate to take step looking
toward ship subsidy. The ocea1
mail subsidy bill was passed as an
amendment to the postoffice appro-
priation bill. It met with opoosi-
tion in the house and is a disputed
item in conference.
Another important piece of legisla
tion in the postoffice bill is the pro-
vision authorizing the postmaster
general to suppress periodicals which
publish articles melting anarchy, ar
son or murder. Among the other
matters which become laws at the
present session are the following:
Prohibiting betting on races in the
District of Columbia; requiring the
registration of all cases of tubercu-
losis in the District of Columbia; re-
classifying many important posts in
the consular service; repeating the
shipping law in relation to trade with
the Philippine Islands so as to per.
nit the free operation of foreign YES
sells, and increasing from IS to S12
month the pensions to widows and
orphans of soldiers.
During the session 1874 private
pension bills became laws.
Many matters were before one body
without attracting attention in the
other. In the senate was the Browns
vile affray; an investigation OF
charges of structional defects in bat
tleships; the treaties negotiated at
The Hague conference, and general
arbitration treaties with practically
all nations. The treaty providing for
the control of wireless telegraphy
| went over until next session, as did
also the question of taking some ac-
| tion against President Castro look
| ing to the collection of American
| claims against Venezuela.
In the house there has been ex.
| tended hearings on resolutions pro-
! viding for the abolation of~the tariff
on wood pulp and print paper; also
investigation of charges brought by
Representative Lilley of Connecticut
affecting the conduct of members OF
congress concerning submarine boat
/ legislation. This inquiry resulted in
a severe arrangement of Mr.. Lille,
himself.
Bismarck daily tribune., 1908-05-23

effort was made in both bodies to
secure an appropriation for the Gre
alton of the southern Appalachian
and White mountain forest reserve,
but it did not succeed. AS an alter
native a commission to Investigate
was authorized The creation of
waterways fund.-" by making an
appropriation of $5O,OO0,OOO, was adj
vocated and rejected. AS substitute
a bill was prepared to continue"
the Inland Waterways Commission,
this bill was amended to author
ize'' the commission.
A bill to permit the president to
appoint an Inland Waterways Com
mission was passed. An action of
great general interest was the pro-
vision for a substantial increase in
the pay of officers and enlisted men
of the army, navy marine corps, re-
venue service and life saving service
of the government.
A bill was passed removing the re-
strictions from the sale and DISPOSE
ton of lands held by members of the
five civilized tribes, except full
bloods. The effect of this act is to
put s150,000,OO0 of property on the
tax lists of Oklahoma, which will in
crease the revenues of that state by
about $3,0O0,O00 annually.
Campaign contribution bills have
been considered in both branches of
congress, but none of the measures
have become law. Bills regulating
the shipment of liquor to prohibition
states We're considered without re-
suit, and bills for postal savings
banks met the same fate.
The Rainy river, (Minnesota) dam
project, which was passed by cong
ress and vetoed by the president be-
cause of the absence of certain pre-.
visions. was passed over the presi-
dents veto. The reason for this az
tion was that authority to construct
this dam was granted before the
presidents policy was announced and
the company building the dam had
expended a great deal of money up
on it, the vetoed bill being merely to
extend the time of completion of the
project.
A determined effort was made in

grand jury presents that Bella Gun
ness, late of the county of Laporte,
and state of Indiana, on the 18th
day of January, 1908, did unlawfully,
feloniously, wilfully and with pre-
meditated malice kill and murder
Andrew K. Helgelein."
Appended thereto is the indictment
of Lamphere as accessory.
Judge Richter today appointed
Fred e. Pitner administrator of the
estate of Andrew K. Helgelein. This
is preparatory to the filing of suit by
the Helgelein estate against the es-
tate Of Bella Guinness for the return
of $1,000 which it is alleged Mrs.
Guinness secured from Helgelein.

SALOONKEEPERNOT
LIABLE SECOND
FLOOR DRINKING
Recorder Mott, of Orange, Gives
Opinion That Surprises
City Counsel.

That a party of men can get together
on Sunday and drink beer on the sec
ond floor of a saloon without render
ing the saloonkeeper liable to indict-
ment, was the opinion of Recorder
Francis Mott jr., handed down in the
Orange Police Court today. Thomas
Paris, a saloonkeeper, of 1863 Main
street, Orange, was being tried under
a complaint preferred by Chief of Po-
lice Bell under section 6S of the crimes
act. 1t was testified that last Sunday
the Richard Francke Association, a
local organization, had a little meeting
over Paris's place, with two kegs OF
beer OF the side.
Harry Osborne, counsel for Paris,
argued that the amber fluid had beer
bought by the association and that
Paris was not liable. City Counsel
Jerome D. Gedney, on the other hand,
asserted that the association end Of
the proposition was only a dodge, and
that the beer had been delivered by
Paris on Sunday for consumption on
that day, and that payment was only
deferred. f@

BRIGHT GIRL ENDS
HIGH SCHOOL IN
TWO YEARS. TIME
Miss Paula F. Oellrich Ap-
plauded for Clever Work
in East Orange.
COMMENCEMENT HELD
AT WOMAN'S CLUBHOUSE
Leslie |. Rich Is Given Two Di.
plOmas Through Engraver's
Error.

Miss Paula F. Oellrich received pro-
longed applause at the commencement
of the East Orange High School in the
Woman's clubhouse, Orange,
last night because she completed the
f~our-year course in two years. She
studied very hard and was advanced
rapidly. She will enter college.
An amusing incident was the presen-
tation of two diplomas to Leslie Irving
Rich. The engravers made a mistake
by fixing up two diplomas, but the
faculty went ahead and gave Mr.. Rich
both n he received an abundance of
applause.
The diplomas were awarded
by President William G. Thorn
as, of the Board of Education.
The hall presented a pretty scene with
the hundreds of bouquets. The class
was the largest ever graduated from
the school.
The invocation was offered by the
Rev. DR.. Fred Clare Baldwin. Address
ing the pupils Superintendent of
Schools Vernon l.. Davey gave the
graduates some sound advice.
Essays were read by Miss Elizabeth
Baldwin, who spoke of Popular Au-
thors;;" Miss Elizabeth T~rowbridge
Riggs, 1.-THE Rhine Land and It's Ro-
NANCE" Miss Charlotte Mae Lutz,
1.-THE Significance of Commencement
Orations were given by James A. Ste
venson, IAN Anticipated Institution"
Henry r. Hall, Anarchy" Miss Char
lotte Taylor Fryer rendered two con-
tralto solos, and Messrs. Louis Atz and
George E.. Clauder contributed a flute
and cello duet.
Some good o~ld-fashioned advice was
given the graduates by Vernon L.
Dayey, superintendent of schools. After
defining fundamental principles worthy
of consideration, such as honesty, pur-
ity and unsel1shness, Mr.. Davey ad-
vised the graduates t practise econ
omy and with 1t simplicity. Display is
delightful, he said, but display with
nothing concrete behind 1t was not
worth while.
Some of the other advice was:
Good clothes are fine, but no good
with unpaid bills in the pocket; auto
mobiles seem gorgeous, but bad when
mortgages were being carried around;
graduating exercises were q good place
and time for unusual display, with
neighbors vieing with each other to
see who could supply the most, and
poor people trying to equal the display
of people well to do; be moderate and
satisfied to live within your means; if
you earn little spend little, and if earn
ing a large amount set some aside; if
dependent upon some one else give
him a square deal; don't be ashamed
to work, even If 1t is handling some of
earth's soil; don't be ashamed to carry
a bundle on the street or shine your
own shoes; maintain the American
home and don't let it be supported by
boarding-houses; be safe inc Inc
leaders; don't expect to start finan-
cially now where you parents are to-
day. With all of this Mr.. Davey in
sisted he was no pessimist.
The superintendent also paid a tri-
butte to Miss Baldwin, a teacher in the
Eastern public chool for forty-two
years, who retired today.

SAY DOCTOR DID
NOT REPORT CASE
OF SmCARLETFEVER
Newark Physician Must Explain
to IrvingtOn Board of
Health.

The Irvington Board of Health wants
to know why DR.. James Hagerty, of
Wallace place, this city, failed to notify
it that a case of scarlet fever existed
in the family of James Quinn, of 102
Myrtle avenue, Irvington. Because
the physician is said not to have COM
piled with the health ode requiring
him to file a report, an explanation was
demanded at the meeting of the board
last night, and the doctor will b. ex-
pected to appear at the next meeting
of the board to satisfy the members
that he did not attempt to evade the
law.
The case was hat of a school child,
and neither the Board of Education
nor the Board of Health received no
tice of the matter. Another child in
the same family vas kept out of school
by the parents, and rumors finally
reached Health officer Joseph Click
enger.

Sore Because Small ApprO-
priatiOn Was Cut.

The members of the %Irvington Board
of Health are not pleased with the cut
of $50 from the $500 which they asked
the Town Council to give them for
next years expenses. While the MEM
bers would not be quoted individually
they left 1t to be clearly understood
at last nights meeting hat they re-
gard the cut of $50 as a piece of petty
parsimony.
They pointed out that Irvington is
allowed less han any other town in the
vicinity, although its population
amounts to nearly $4,000. 1t was also
pointed out that the minimum amount
to be appropriated as fixed by law is
$50 per thousand, which would give the
Ir%vington board a minimum amount of
between $500 and $500. The members
feel injured because in asking for $500
they felt that they were letting the
town off easy.
