PRESIDENT ASKS INCREASE
Appropriation for Examining Railroad
Accounts Too Small.

Washington, May l. - President
Roosevelt sent for Representatives
Hepburn of Iowa, Townsend of Mich
igan, Campbell of Kansas and Sulzer
Of New York and urged them to make
vigorous efforts to secure a larger ap-
preparation In the sundry civil bill for
an investigation of the books of the
railroads of the country to determine
whether they are complying with sec
tion 20 of the Hepburn railroad rate
law, providing that a system of uni
form accounts must be kept as pre-
scribed by the interstate commerce
commission.
For the present fiscal year the COM
mittee has an appropriation of $4,000,
but has not been able to make much
headway in the work. For the next
fiscal year the administration desired
an appropriation of from $250,000 to
100000, but the house committee on
appropriations cut the amount to $780,
900. 1t is claimed by the president
and the interstate commerce commits
sion that this amount will be entirely
insufficient. Section 20, it is stated,
Is considered the most effective por-
ton of the Hepburn law, really being
its publicity clause. BY careful In.
vestigation of the books of the roads
the granting of secret rates or rebates
would be revealed. It is understood

Fourth Day of the Celebration in New
York City.

New York, May 1.-The pro-
gramme for the fourth day of the cele-
bration of the centenary of Cath
olicity in New York provided some
thing for almost every hour of the
day. There was solemn mass a.

and prelates of the diocese. Bishop
O'Connor of Newark was the cele-
brant and Auxiliary Bishop Cusack of
New York delivered the eulogy.

NEW BILL is DOOMED.
House Committee Opposed to Vree.
land Currency Measure.

Washington, May 1.-The house
committee on banking and currency
had brief meeting, but declined to
proceed for the purpose of taking up
the new Vreeland currency bill. The
vote for adjournment stood II to 3,
the negative votes being cast by
Messrs. Burton, Weeks and Mckinney.
The negative vote is supposed to rep
resent the strength of the new bill
and it is inferred that that measure
will be tabled as was the first Vree-
land BILL if it ever reaches a vote in
committee. The bill was not discussed
at any length, most of the members
claiming that they had not had time
to read it and others saying that IL
was in effect the old bill put in new
form The committee will meet again
next Monday.
