new order IN the making Of appropriations in
the present congress Il the purpose OF several

bles in the first regular session next De-
cember.
These senators are looking forward TO some
plan by which the committees may be fully
Informed concerning the expenditure of gov
eminent money which II is declared is not
known in a general way. 1t is uderstood by

Of auditing accounts in some Of the depart-
ments is one that permits the approval of
vouchers for expenditure that not actually
made, but which stand for items of expenses
that will not so readily meet popular APP
proval II plainly named.
There will be an effort to reduce the APP
preparations for vague purposes and to con-
fine them as far possible TO specific pur-
poses and then 10 overhaul the accounting
systems of the departments that congress
will have greater access to the exact purposes
for which the money has been expended.
1t is said the process Of short circuiting''
congress I'm the matter of expenditures which
was referred TO by Mr.. Hemenway has been
carried on extensively in several departments.
Just that plan will be adopted to allow con-
gress to make appropriations has not been
determined.

BIBLE CONFERENCE
COMES TO CLOSE
FINAL SESSIONS OF THE GREAT
CONFERENCE DREW IMMENSE
CONTEMPORARIES LEAVE
FOR THEIR HOMES.

With the Tabernacle filled to the doors,
the tenth annual session of the Baptist
Tabernacle Bible conference came to
close in Atlanta Sunday night. So TOO,
the most successful and enthusiastic con-
ference of the whole series passed into
history. Immediately after the closing,
the eminent ministers and evangelical
workers who have given their labors to 1t
during the past ten days began making
their preparations for departure to their
widely scattered homes.
DR.. L. G. Broughton, pastor of the Bap-
fist Tabernacle, states that the confer
ence of 1909 has accomplished more good
than he had dared to hope. He feels that
Atlanta, the state and the south have all
reaped untold benefit.
Most impressive were the closing SER
vices Simplicity marked them Each
one of those who had addressed the con-
ference from time to time during its ses-
sions took leave of his hearers with some
parting message, some final admonition.
Rev. Stuart Holden's talk, in the conse-
Grafton service which brought the session
to a close, was simple and powerful He
besought his listeners to be strong, telling
them that the eyes of the world would be
on them as they left the meetings.
No less crowded were the meetings held
during the Gay, notably the one for men
only, at the Grand, and the one for
women only, at the Tabernacle. Mayor
Maddox presided over the meeting at the
Grand, introducing DR.. Holden, vicar OF
St. PauPs, Portland Square, London. DR..
Holden took his text from the ninth chap
ter or st. Luke, Il would follow you, but
-" The Tabernacle, too. was crowded at
the same hour, while Miss Elinor Stafford
Millar addressed the women of Atlanta.
Miss Millar's subject was The Power of
WOmanhood."

sen TILLMAN BRANDS
ROOSEVELT A FAILURE

AUGUTA, Ga, March Ex-senator B. r.
TilIman. in an interview made public
here today, commenting upon Mr..
Roosevelt. the present situation in the
house and upon the new administration
said
Roosevelt narrowly escaped being a
great man. but his want of sincerity and
earnestness made him really one of the
greatest failures that has ever occupied
The white house. AS the time approached
for congress to adjourn and the oppor-
tunity to show Roosevelt in his true col
ors approached 1 began to seriously con-
slider whether il was worth while.
Senator Tillman said that the action
of the house of representatives and the
senate committee on appropriations Doth
charged Roosevelt with falsehood, ana
that he himself "had much evidence col
lected'' to prove that he (Mr. RooseVelp
had no regard for the truth
when l could have produced the eVi-
dence," Mr.. Tillman continued, Il knew
lot of people would charge me with
being actuated by malice and desire
for revenge. and therefore my attitude
would be discredited. So 1 finally de-
cided to leave him alone"
Speaking of the insurgents movement
in the house, Mr.. Tillman said:
Il was surprised to learn of the boilers
venality and cowardice What is needed
is discipline. What they ought to do
is to behead these men at the next cleo
ton"
OF the Taft administration Mr. Till
man said:
"Mr Taft's administration is going TO
be like a calm after a storm. He Is
patriotic just-minded, big-hearted man.
He will be popular in every section OF
the country. He will bring about an
era of good feeling"

lively considered. On the following
Monday morning. before the Democratic
caucus, Colonel Livingston declared Ffez-
gerald Howard himself and two others,
whose names he didn't CALL met again in
his office and they agreed TO support the
FITZGERALD proposition on the floor OF the
house After agreeing to support the
Fitzgerald proposition, as Colonel Liv-
ingston states, it appears that Messrs.
Fitzgerald Howard and others attended
the Democratic caucus. where the
straight Democratic program was out
lined and agreed upon.
The Fitzgerald resolution was not sub
mitted to the caucus, although Repre-
sentative Underwood, OF Alabama. VINO
handled the matter for Champ Clark, al
forded many opportunities for amend
ments to the Democratic proposition.
Representative Howard, when asked as
to Colonel Livingston's statement about
himself and Fitzgerald, declared that he
knew nothing of It,
He had no disposition to make any
statement other than the one what he
and others have sent to the press OF
Georgia for publication.
Edwards Talks
Representative EQWdIOS VI tAAC AAASN'
who was among the last members OF the
Georgia delegation to bolt, is credited
with explaining his attitude by declar-
ing chat he had to follow Brantley on
lumber" their interests in this respect
on the tariff bill being identical. The
lumbermen OF South Georgia are up in
arms against the reduction in the duty
on lumber from two to one dollar. as
provided in the Payne bill
The echoes of the rule fight will be
heard in Washington for many day.
One of the charges in connection with
the machine victory is that the counter
vaiIing duty on oil was provided for in
the Payne bill only after Pat McCarren
had prevailed upon his Democratic rep
resentatives to support Cannon. Another
charge is that Tammany votes were Sc
cured by assurances that no extra tax
would be imposed on beer.
The plan to adopt the Fitzgerald rules
it is said, was arranged last Sunday
night, when the machine Republicans be-
came convinced that they were beaten
if they depended solely upon Republican
votes to carry the day.

REVISION OF TARIFF
TAKEN UP BY HOUSE
had been referred and that opportunity
was extremely limiteu.
Minority Report

The plan outlined by Senator Aldrich
and his Republican colleagues on the
finance committee is TO take up the bill
and put in shape and then to call the
full committee together. The Democrats
then would have the unhampered chance
of submitting a minority report to the
senate at the same time the bill is re-
ported The minority members OF the
committee will not assume any response
bility for the measure II the ordinary
custom is followed. 1t is likely, how
ever. that they will take up the house
tariff bill and dissect il and build parry
measure which would become an import
ant part OF the minority report.
Maintaining secrecy on rates TO be
recommended by the finance committee,
II has been decided not to incorporate in
the bill any figures until the bill is COM
pleted. There will be prepared tables
which will be kept under cover in the
committee rooms and not taken there
from by any member of the committee.
These tables will be in the custody of
trusted employees. AS further means of
preventing disclosures concerning details
OF the bill, the question of rates will be
postponed until the phraseology of the
various principles TO be Incorporated in
the measure has been agreed upon. In
other words. the form of the bill will be
perfected before an effort is made to
agree upon any of the several schedules
over which there is iIkely to be conflict
between the senate and the house.
