in Senate.

President informs Senate Attorney
General Cannot Answer Culberson's
ResoIution-Sends Message on Har.
riman Decision.

Washington, Jan. the postal saw
ings bank bill was before the senate
and many amendments were proposed,
some requiring the deposit OF postal
savings funds in state as well as ma.
LlOnal BANKS. That state banks should
be used as government repositories
lor postal funds was proposed IN
amendments offered by Senators
smith (MiCh), Cummins Ua.) and
core (Okla.).
Senators McCumber, Fulton and
others declared in favor OF placing
such state banks on an exact equality
with national banks as government
repositories. Mr.. Smiths amendment
proposed the acceptance OF state, cOun.
ty, municipal or United States bonds
as security.
Senator Piles offered an amendment
providing that postal savings funds be
deposited rataDly among banks of a
city on a basis of their capital stock
and surplus.
Bonaparte Need Not Reply.
The senate also received two mes.
sages from the president, one recon-.
mending additional interstate com.
merce legislation and the other relat-
ing to the absorption by the United
States Steel corporation Of the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron company. Presi.
dent Roosevelt informed the senate in
plain terms that he had approved the
absorption OF the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company by the United States
Steel corporation and had instructed
Attorney General Bonaparte not to re-
spond to the senate inquiry as to the
reason for his failure to prosecute the
steel company. The president declares
he does not conceive it to "be within
the authority of the senate to give di-
rections of this character to the head
of an executive department"
The message was in response to a
resolution, introduced by Senator Gull
berson, calling on the attorney gen
eral to state whether he had brought
an action against the steel company
because of its acquisition of the Ten,
nessee concern. While the resolution
was not directed to President Roose
welt, his attention was called to it by
Attorney General Bonaparte.

batting rally The batting of the
Papermakers was hard but Gibbs kept
the hits scattered throughout the seven
innings that he pitched. Miller, on

the balls up in big league style. nail
ing his man at first on every attempt.
Baker also played a snappy fielding

and it was just pure luck that he won
from New Haven on Tuesday after
that team had gathered in three runs
in the last inning.
The New Haven Palladium says that
the article of ball this year is 100 per
cent. slower than last year. 1t is the
taking on too many amateurs every
year. The baseball served up by the
league teams should not be judged by
the article of ball dished out by the
New Haven outfit
The Giants came back unto their

Tomorrow the Orators tackle the

very surprising to see the Senators
