TAWNEY PROMOTED.
Says He Has Been Elevated to Mem
bership in Ananias Club.

Washington. Jan. 6.-Drastic meas
ures are being considered by the Per
klns special committee of the house ap-
pointed to recommend action in de-
Tense of the body in reply to the critic
ism made by the president in his annual
message in referring to secret service
legislation.
After a meeting of the committee a
report said that the committee would
recommend to the house that the por-
ton of the message referring to the Sc
cret service be eXpunged from the
record. Another report was that the
recent message in reply to the request
for more information on the subject
would be returned to the chief executive
Neither report could be confirmed.
One of the most interesting debates
of the session is expected when the re-
port is brought into the house. Friends
of the president will resist any drastic
action that may be recommended. On
the other hand, Representatives Taw-
ney, Smith, Sherely and Fitzgerald are
preparing to defend themselves against
the references to themselves in the mes
sage. Their remarks, however, will not
be a personal defense as they maintain.
they should not attempt to draw atten-
ton from the controversy which is be-
tween congress and the president and
not between themselves and the presi-
dent.
"I-have been elevated from the ranks
of the criminal class to the Ananias
chairman of the house committee on APP
propriations. commenting on President
RooseveIt's special messake to congress
relative to the secret service. Il have
nothing to say in reply to the presi-
dents message at this time" continued
Mr.. Tawney. except that ne has mis-
interpreted my speech to the house.
This controversy lies between the chief
executive and the legislative branch of
the government and there it should rest
until settled. The president is unwar-
ranted in trying to make it an issue be-
tween himself and the appropriation
committee"
Mr.. Tawney was one of these upon
whom the president placed the respon-
sibility for the movement to restrict the
secret service.
Mr.. Tawney stated that after the
special committee. to which the mes
sage was referred. had made its report
he would have something to say on the
floor of the house upon the subject
of the sectet service and the MESA ge

it is that we should have the influence

The clergymen had referred to ne

that his previous statement was one
of his strong reasons for advocating
the maintenance of excellent UNIVERSE

men had great responsibility and
should be thoroughly prepared there

Bill for Their Establishment Is
Unfinished Business.
Measure Will Be Pressed for
Action From Now On.
AMENDMENTS
SOME
Are Contemplated to Make 1t
More Acceptable.
Opposition Appears ON Ground
of UncOnstitutiOnality.

Washington, Jan. 6.-When the SEN
ate convened today it was understood
that the bill to establish postal saw
ings banks would be taken up after
the disposal of routine business. The
bill is in charge of Senator Carter
who will attempt to keep it before
that body until it is disposed of. The
senator proposes to press for a vote
on the measure. which is now the un-
finished business of the senate. APP
parently the only obstacle now in the
way of the postal savings bill is the
unanimous agreement to take up the
omnibus bill on the 14th, and Senator
Fulton, in charge of that measure, has
announced that he will not urge it in
opposition to the postal bill.
Senator Carter believes that a week
or 10 days will be ample time in
which to dispose of his bill.
Senator Rayner of Maryland be-
heves some of the features of the bill
to be unconstitutional and Senator
Carter will satisfy much criticism of
his proposed legislation by Offering
amendments, reducing the amount
that may be deposited by single per-
son in a postal bank during the month
from 5000 to 500 and the aggregate
amount that may be Kept on deposit
from $1,000 to $500. To economic
bookkeeping, the minimum deposit
will be increased from 10 to so cents.
The provision allowing a trustee to
open an account for a ward will be
stricken out. Senator Piles of Wash
ington will offer an amendment re-
quiring the distribution of deposits of
savings banks funds in cities having
more than one bank on the basis of
the amount of capital stock of each,
and Senator Warner, of Missouri
probably will introduce an amend
ment allowing banks organized under
state laws to receive such deposits un-
der specified conditions.
It is expected that these amend
ments will do much to make the bill
satisfactory to senator's, who have not
approved it.

tonic and Rio Grande railroad is al
ready building north from point near
Mercedes where D. F. Yoakum and his
associates have already $4,000, 900 in

In this railroad and in the big land

Texas a year ago and began to buy
land and take options where he could.
This man is known to have handled all

TAFT TO PREACHERS.
He Discusses Relation of the Church
to Government.

Augusta. &C.. Jan. 6.-To the
Protestant ministers of Augusta Presi-
| dent-elect Taft has expressed his views
regarding the influence of the church
upon civilization and its usefulness in
aiding governmental development. His
talk was regarded as an interesting ad-
dition to the general discussion re-
garding his religious belief.
The ministers had extended Mr.. Taft
a cordial welcome and expressed a de-
sire to arrange a reception for him, the
manifestation of friendliness being
concluded with prayer.
Mr.. Taft began by thanking them for
their good will and their prayers
adding:
I'm carrying on the burden of a gov
eminent which with its increasing use
tasks, they who are charged with it's
execution need every assistance and
sympathy"
Mr. Taft referred to the moral
awakening during the past four years
as an indication of the healthfu1 state
of American civilization. the people
had demanded a moral reform. and in
this he said, the clergy must take an
important part"
Leaving out the sectional distinc-
ton he continued. 1.-THE Indispensable

Improvement in our civilization no one

the obligations that Providence has
thrust upon us. And in the study of
the DEVELOPMENT it has been made
known to me the enormous influence
that the church must exercise in order
to make our progress there effective.
The Roman Catholic church was there
for years and preserved that state of

moved from other denominations. and

BAD FOR HOTELS.
Guests Can Beat Bill If Not Asked
About Payment in Advance.

Wichita, Kan, Jan. 6.-According to
a decision of Judge James L. Dyer of
the city court, hotels of the state of
Kansas can not hope to secure the
payment of bills by the arrest of de-
linquent guests. He held that there is
no law on the Kansas statutes under
which a man might be punished, pro-
vided the hotel keeper did not ask the
guest if he had enough money to pay
his bill. In this event, the guest could
be prosecuted for false representations.
The decision was made following the
arrest of guest at the Cary hotel. who
refused to pay his bill, following a mis-
understanding with the proprietor.
