DETECTIVES NOT
TO Be BORROWED
Congress Prohibits Lending of
Federal Sleuths to the
Departments
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 21.-It
is all up with the BLACK cabinet" of
Washington. The house appropriation
committee has included in the sundry
civil appropriation bill, which will be
prohibiting the detailing, assignment or
loan of any member of the secret
service force to any other department
of the government for any purpose
whatever.
The hearings on the sundry civil bill
contain a deal of interesting informa-
tion extracted after considerable effort
from Assistant Chief w. H. Moran of
the secret service. Moran's testimony
shows that in detailing secret service
operators to other departments for de-
tective purposes the law has been
repeatedly violated. The most remark
able case of all was the employment
by the navy department of a secret
service man to gather evidence in a
sensational divorce case. Upon this
kind of evidence gathered by a secret
service man paid by the government a
midshipman at the naval academy was
dismissed from the service, which dis
missal was followed by a suit for di-
vorce in naval circles.
1t also came out that when the secret
services force was not sufficient to sup
ply all the demands for men from the
various departments, outside detectives
from private agencies were employed,
although this has been expressly for
hidden by statute ever since the Home
stead strike.

CAMPAIGN BILL PASSED
Election Contributions Here
after Must Be Reported

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The Mccall
campaign publicity bill today was unan-
mouslX recommended to the house for
passage by the committee on election
of president, vice president and repre-
sentatives in congress. The bill pro-
vides that "all contributions hereafter
made to political campaigns engaged
in promotion of the election of repre-
sentatives or delegates to the congress
of the United States or to presidential
electors at any election at which rep
resentatives or delegates shall be voted
for shall be reported by such commit
tees to the clerk of the house of rep
resentatives."
The bill was so amended that any
person may, in connection with such
election, pay from his own private
funds for the purpose of influencing
or controlling in two or more states
the result of an election at which rep
resentatives in congress are to be
elected and his travelling expenses. He
may pay for stationery and postage and
for telegraph and telephone service
without being subject to the provi-
sions of the act

Twenty-fifth infantry, and especially
that by the committee on military at
fairs, was presented to the senate to-
day by Senator Warner Of Missouri. He
said:
In the war of 1s61-5 1 served in the same
command with negro troops. The surviving
veterans Of those troops wear with me as COM
rades the button of the g. A. R., and certain it
is / have no prejudice against the negro soldiers
and not prepared to cry against negroes as
soldiers because 1 believe that members of the
Twenty fifth infantry at Brownsville disgraced
the United States uniform and stained the hon
orabIe record of their race soldiers. Law
lessness is not distinguishing characteristic Of
any race or color
The Missouri senator quoted freely
throughout his discourse from testi-
mony taken in the several investiga-
tions of the charges that the soldiers
shot UP the town.

COMMITTEE is BUSY
Small Chance for Presidents
Measures to Pass

WASHINGTON, April 21.-At a meet
Ing of the republican steering commit
tee of the senate today the legislative
program was discussed but no decision
was reached to add any important
measures to those destined for enact
ment at the present session of con-
gress. In regard to currency legisla-
ton it was stated that il the house
passed bill providing for commits
sion to investigate financial matters
the senate would, Immediately upon re-
ceipt of the measure, vote to add the
Aldrich currency bill with a view of
putting the whole subject into confer
ence.
Senator Hale told his colleagues on
the committee that the sentiment of
the senate was against the four bat
teships scheme advocated by the presi-
dent, and that it would be useless to
try to get an appropriation for more
than two battleships at this session. 1t
appeared from the discussion that there
were few measures in addition to the
appropriation bills that have any pros
pect for passage at the present session.
Senator Beveridge declared that it
would be bad politics for congress to
adjourn without passing some of the
measures desired by the president, and
that the do nothing" policy would be
heard of in the coming campaign.
He was particularly urgent in de-
manding consideration for an anti-in-
junction bill and for the proposed
amendments to the Sherman antitrust
law. The other members of the steer
ing committee, however, saw little
chance for the passage of these meas
ures.
Although no date for adjournment
was considered, it was generally con-
sidered that the business of the session
should be concluded about the middle
of May. Senator Beveridge opposed an
adjournment without an effort to carry
out the presidents policy or some ac-
tion showing disposition to revise the
tariff, such as the appointment of a
commission. To ignore these things,
he said. would be a grave mistake

REAGAN GRILLED ON
WITNESS STAND
Plaintiff in Libel Suit Compelled
to Review His Official
Record
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SAN RAFAEL, April 21.-Consider-
able progress was made today in the
trial of the libel suit brought by
former Police Commissioner Reagan of
San Francisco against the San Fran
cisco news company. distributor of
McClure's magazine, which published
the article to which Reagan took ex-
ception. The proceedings soon devel-
oped a warmth which indicated that
there would be an abundance of pyro-
technics when they were well under
way.
After the reading of the offending
article the balance of the forenoon
session was devoted to the examina-
tion Of j. B. Sheridan. manager of the
San Francisco news company.
Fremont Older's deposition was read
during the afternoon, together with
one by Reagan. Older denied Reagan's
allegation that he and Detective Burns
had given to George Kennan certain
details embraced in the article in Nc
Clures.
Reagan was called to the witness
stand late in the afternoon and sub
jected to a severe grilling by Attorney
John S. Partridge. He admitted re-
luctantly that while a police commits
sioner he had conducted an insurance
business and had held at various times
policies on approximately 800 saloons.
Counsel for Reagan sought to show
that the publication of the article in
McClure's had seriously injured his
standing as a citizen and his business
credit. 1t was brought out that he
called upon Mayor Taylor early this
year, on the advice of District Attor-
ney Langden, and applied for a city
position. paving inspector preferred
The mayor refused to consider his ap-
plication on the ground that he was
not fit man in the public estimation
to be placed on the municipal payroll
Mayor Taylor, he said expressed per-
sonal sympathy for him and hoped
that he would obtain remunerative en-
ployment.
Partridge denounced Reagan un-
mercifully. charging that for many
months while Reagan was a police
commissioner he had been cognizant
of the rottenness of the Schmitz ad-
ministration, but had remained COM
plaisant until he had had q falling out
with Schmitz.
Fremont Older will be the principal
witness tomorrow.
