BIC SAVINGS SEEN
IN PUBLIC FUNDS
Hemenways Investigations for
Senate Committee Likely to
Mean Much.

Former Senator Hemenway Of Indi-
ana, who, to aid the Senate Committee
on appropriations, has been probing
into the subject Of reducing the expendi-
lures Of the Government. is evolving
hSures that will doubtless give the va
rious departments something like heart
failure.
Mr.. Hemenway Investigations are
not completed. but they are far enough
along, so the Senate leaders think they
are justified in the belief large savings
can be made The permanent annual
appropriations, it is said, can be cut by
about S35.G0O.O00. and that much or more
can be subtracted from the regular an
nual appropriations for the departments.
This would mean a saving of at least
$IO,OOIO0 year and would be equiva-
lent 10 raising that much additional rev
enue.

Tariff Debare Postponed.
Senator Aldrich then announced that
he had expected ta ask the Senate TO
begin considerable of the tariff bill
today, but inasmuch as the House had
recalled hat bill, and he was not
himself ready to submit a table Of
probable revenVes to be derived from
the various scheC uleS, he would post
pone that motion until Monday, when
he gave notice he purposed to take up
the bill Immediately after morning
business.
Senator Dolliver asked at what the
maximum and minimum and the draw
back features OF the bill would be re-
ported TO which Mr.. Aldrich replied
that he thought the committee would
be able TO present them within ten
days.
Amendments introduced.
A large number Of amendments to the
tariff bill were introduced in the Senate
today and among them the bill of Sen
ator Beveridge for a tariff commission
The bill is similar to the one which
Senator BeVGr1dge introduced at the last
Congress. It provides for a commission
of seven members. Senator Beveridge
addressed the Senate briefly in support
of the bill. He explained its provisions
and said that later he would speak to
the Senate in a mere extended way and
would answer all objections. He ex-
pressed the hope that the Finance Com
mittee would see fit TO include in the
tariff bill provision for a Iarif com
mission.
Senator L.aFollette also introduced a
bill as an amendment TO the tariff
measure providing for a tariff commits
sion.
Senator Stone OF Missouri presented
his amendment providing for free trade
with the Philippines. and for the inde-
pendence of the islands in fifteen years.
Various amendments Of less import
ance were presented by number Of
Senators.
Senator Root introduced a bill for a
bridge across the Niagara river at the
city Of Niagara
The Payne tariff bill was withdrawn
by the House to make a correction in
the oil products schedule, and was
later messaged back to the Senate.
After q session Of about an hour
the Senate went into executive meet
ing and then adjourned over until
Monday.
