MAY SHOW WAR FUND ITEMS
Senators Not Inclined to Regard
President ROOseveIt's Request
for Secrecy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-President Roose-
velts request that the reply of the secre-
tary of the treasury to the Foraker <eso-
luton, calling for an itemized statement Of
expenditures made from the war deficiency
fund of 1899 be considered confidential, may
be ignored by the senate. Since the docu-
ment has been reposing in the files of the
committee on military affairs, it has been
examined by a number of senators who say
they are not impressed with the Importance
of concealing from the public the informa
tion IL contains.
The reason given by President Roose-
welt for the request that the information
should be kept as executive matter was that
the war fund had been used to send mill
tary agents into forengn countries to
gather material for the secret use of this
government. While 1t is said that this is
true in regard TO some expenditures. cer-
tain senator's have declared that the report
so hides the details connected with such
expenditures that the publication of the
report could not result In any diplomatic
arrangements with other governments.
The resolution bringing the statement to
the senate w6s introduced by Mr. Foraker
after he learned that the detectives used
in working on the Brownsville case had
been paid from the war deficiency fund. It
is declared by several senators who have
examined the treasury statement that the
information sent in shows the fund had
been used as "a financial junk heap" 1t
is asserted that the statement shows that
several 'junkets'' were paid for from this
fund and that in certain instances the fund
was used to pay for the entertainment of
military visitors from other countries.
Although a number OF senators are dis
posed to make the document public, 1t is
known that such action would be opposed
by others, and therefore a motion to print
the statement as a public document may
be accompanied by sharp and acriminous
debate.

BERKELEY. June Fearful. of dis

dreds of .swarms in the vicinity OF
Fresno. the raisers of honey bees have
asked Ralph Benton. head of the de-
partment Of apicuiture of the. .univer-
sity, TO suggest a Temeos. Joeb
ChFistman, Inspector of apiaries of
Fresno county, has put up a good fight
against the disease. but has announced
that he is bafied by the strange NAL
ady. which threatens to exterminate all
the bees in the vicinity OF. Fresno.
Whether a germ disease or some tiny
insect has attacked the bees the uni
versity authorities have not deter
mined, but the plague is one OF the
most serious they have yet eHcoun-
tered. 1t attacks the bee in all stages
of development. and differs from the
ordinary malady which kills the larva
just before being sealed up for the
long sleep from which it evolves a
fun grown insect.
At present the Investigations of the
department Of entomology must be
conducted on the campus on account
of the lack of funds with which to
