TWICE TOO MUCH
MONEY IS VOTED
FOR JUNkET
ANTHONY PRATT.
Municipal League Secretary Asks
Council To Cut Expense Allowance
of Delegates to Montreal From
500 to $50.
Corporation Counsel Hally Maka
Vigorous Defense of Such Trims
Declaring They Benefit City.

Aidermanic junkets are now a mat
Ter or investigation by the Detroit
Municipal league. OF which J. l.. Hud.
son Is president and Anthony Pratt
Is secretary. Pratt spent Friday
morning IN the controllers office look
ing up the financial history OF the
1unkets for the past few years. He
discovered few instances where mon
ey set aside for such trip expenses
had been returned.
A communication from the Munich
pal league will go to the council next
Tuesday night, requesting that body
to rescind its action in AUTHORIZING
the expenditure OF $1.100 for the ex.
penses OF IL delegates to the conven.
lion OF the League of American NUM-
cipalities In Montreal So far, no
alderman has been. found willing to
file notice Of reconsideration In re-
gard to this appropriation.
In the communication to the coun-
ell, Secretary Pratt will inform the
aldermen that the allowance of 800
per man Is excessive. The following
figures are put In to demonstrate this:
Round trip fare to Montreal, $50;
sleeper berths, 81, hotel bill for three
days. at IS per day. SIS; meals en-
route, IS; total. $50 The league,
therefore, wants the allowance cut In
half. 1t cost the city $3.50 last year
to send delegation to the Omaha
convention OF the same league.
There is a possibility OF court ac-
ton In case the council does not re-
sctnd Its action. the ground being that
the council has no right to set aside
money from the contingent fund TO
pay for convention expenses when
the convention was a certainty and q
contingency at the time the budget
was made up.
Pratt found quite a number OF
junkets on the controllers books, but
few refunds. Aid. Watson's commit
tee which went to Grand Rapids, Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul to in.
vestigate "T' rails year and a half
ago returned $50 out Of 5000 received
for the trip.
Aid. Owens grade separation COM
mittee got an appropriation OF $500
to investigate grade separations. but
did not go and returned the whole
amount. Aside from this. the refunds
were minus.
CITY officials going on such trips

Them" Deputy Controller w. j. Ma
gel told Pratt. Il keep 4 record OF
my expenditures when away and send
In bill on my return"
Corporation Counsel Hally was In
the controllers office when Pratt came
In and he arose to the situation with
defense OF that much-criticized Gus
tom, the junket.
IF the city had sent a committee to
visit the principal cities of the coun-
try before the original grade separa-
ton agreement was entered into with
the railroads. we would be money

AGREEMENT NEAR
| ON TARIFF, Says
1 ALOR|CH
conference Committee May Complete
Its Work Before Night-Taft
Will Be Satisfied With Con-
cession in Sight.
Duty on Hides, Coal, Lumber and
Iron Ore Will Be Reduced
Materially.
WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
Aldrich said this afternoon an agree
ment ON the tariff bill was In sight
and he hoped the conference commit
tee would complete its work before
night. AT this mornings session or
the conferees the cotton schedule
occupied much time and IL Is believed
the house conferees have become sat
isfied with most of the senate rates
on the higher grades OF cotton goods
They have. however, secured some
slight concessions on the lower grades.
Don't make any bets or promises
that you will not shave or have your
hair cut until hides go on the free
list. because | don't want you TO look
like Rip Van Wrinkle"
This was the advice given today by
a prominent senator to one OF his
newspaper friends, and II voiced the
feeling OF confidence which exists
among the western Republican sena-
tors on the whole question OF raw
materials. They are perfectly willing
TO make concessions in the rates, but
stand pat against the proposition 10
remove all duties from hides, coal,
iron ore and lumber.
So far as Senator Aldrich Is con-
cerne1 his personal interests and the
material interests OF the section from
which he comes would be served
through the removal OF duty from all
these articles. He has been working
iC secure the reductions which Presi-
dent Taft wants. he had a personal
interview with large number of SEN
ators yesterday and became convinced,
Il Is said, that II Is not possible 81
pass a bill through 'he senate with
these on the free list. He has SO III
formed the president.
In the opinion OF senator's who have
talkeS with the president within the
last day or two, there is no possible
ground for the revival OF the talk that
be might veto a bill which did not
include free hides aud iron ore, and
reduce the rates on coal and lumber.
What the president wants is as low
rates as he can get with due regard
To the protective policy of his party.
He has satisfied himself as To the
amount or the concessions which he
can secure, ana IL can be stated posi-
lively that he not only will sign the
bill, but feels that he can congratulate
the country on It's real downward RS
vision character.
With the duty on hides cut to 1-2
rer cent and the rates on leather and
Loots and shoes reduced materially
from the existing law; with coal re-
huced from 81 cents to 40 or 40 cents
er ton; with lumber reduced from 81
Ter 900 to 1925; with oil free, aid
with iron ore cut from 40 cents down
10 about 10, which Is the present fig-
ure talked OF, the president feels thai
the new tariff can be we'll defended as
keeping the pledges of the Republican
party liz the last campaign.
