DENIES LAND OFFICE MADE
EXTRAVAGANT EXPENDITURES

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE furni-
ture provided under the $1,000,0O0 ap-
propriation for protection of the public
domain, instead of being eXtravagantly
expensive, was the same as supplied
other branches of the public land ser
vice, declared Amos Hadley, chief of
the supplies division of the interior de-
partment before the house committee
on expenditures in that department,
today.
The committee is investigating ru-
mors that there were improper eXpend-
itures under the special million dollar
appropriation.
Both Mr.. Hadley and his assistant,
Mr.. Ayres, denied the allegations so
far as supplies were concerned. The
matter was brought before the commit
tee by Representative Hitchcock of Ne
braska.
The committee at an executive ses-
sion, at which Mr.. Page, minority
member, agreed with the majority that
so far nothing had been brought out
that reflected on Commissioner bennett
of the general land office, decided to
hear Chief Field Agent Schwartz next
Monday.

Out Habeas Corpus Writ

TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 7.-Governor
Sloan of Arizona today refused TO
honor the requisition papers issued by
the governor of California for l.. B.
Adams, N. w. Murphy and Nora Nc
Laughlin for the alleged kidnapping of
Adams son, on the ground that Mrs.
Kimball, the boys grandmother, had
not been appointed his guardian at the
time of the alleged kidnapping in San
Francisco.
on receipt of this news at Tucson,
Mrs. John S. Kimball the boys grand
mother, sued out a writ of habeas cor
pus for the child, alleging she had
been appointed legal guardian of the
how and was under court order to
produce him in court in San Francisco.

DETECTIVE KILLED:
POLICE BAFFLED
SHOT IN HEAD IN AGENCY CARD
ROOM
Detectives on Case Scout story-Dead
Man Was Formerly a Resi-
dent of Los An-
geles

PORTLAND. Ore, Feb. "A. T.
Barnes, an operative of detective
agency. in this city and once of Los
Angeles, is dead as the result of a re-
volVer shot.
Charles Mapes, a fellow employe, is
detained without bail by the police on
the order of the district attorney, pend
ing an inquest by the coroner into the
circumstances surrounding the shoot
ing, which occurred late today in
room used as a lounging place by en-
ployes of the agency where Mapes and
Barnes had been playing cards.
The weapon which was the cause Of
Barnes death is an old-faShioned single
action revolver of large caliber. Ac-
cording to the story told by Mapes to
the police, Barnes was twirling the
revolver by the trigger guard when it
suddenly discharged, the bullet striking
Barnes just below the nose and rang
ing upward into the brain.
The police detectives say they can
not see how it would be possible for
single action revolver to become dis
charged in the manner described by
Mapes..
D. L. Clouse, manager of the detec-
tive agency, stated to the police that
Barnes and his wife did not agree, and
expressed the opinion that the man
committed suicide.
Mrs. Barnes, when questioned by the
police, declared that she and her hus
band had never had any trouble. She
said that they were married four years
ago at Los Angeles and that their mar
ried life had been a happy one. She
believed that her husband met death
by accident
Detectives Carpenter and Price of
the police department say they are
convinced that it is a case of murder
or suicide. They place no credence in
the accident theory.

Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-08

Eight witnesses besides Miss Keller
testified during the day.
Dr. Edward L. Stewart said that
while he had no part in the autopsy
other than writing down the record
he knew that no hemorrhage OF the
brain, visible to the naked eye, was
found. Col. Swope was supposed to
have died from apoplexy.
The calling of the inquest today
brought together for the first time in
several weeks members OF the SWope
household.
Mrs Logan H. Swope and her daugh-
ters sat on one side of the room with
their attorneys, while Dr. Hyde and his
attorneys were on the other. There
was no sign of recognition between the
two parties. Mrs. Hyde was not pre-
ent Her husband explained that she
was too ill to attend.
During the day Mrs. Swope and Miss
Keller were served with subpoenas
by~a an attorney from the office of
Frank p. Walsh, DR.. Hyde's counsel,
to appear and give their dispositions in
the libel suits brought by DR.. Hyde
against Attorney John G.. Paxton and
Drs. Frank Hall and Edward l..
Stewart.
DR.. Hyde filed suit for 100000 for
alleged slander against Attorney John
G. Paxton today, and service was OBJ
tanned upon the attorney at the in
quest.
A similar suit against Mr.. Paxton
was dismissed by DR.. Hyde in order to
keep from giving his deposition before
the inquest began over the body OF
Col. SWope.

RAYNER FIGHTS
POSTAL BANKS
NO GROUNDS FOR MEASURE,
HIS CONTENTION
Maryland Senator Says Constitution
Is in State of Collapse; De-
pend on Taft as
Check

WASHINGTON, Feb. Admitting
that he had given no consideration to
merits of the postal savings bank bill
and declaring that he was not influ-
enced by the banking interests, Sen
ator Rayner today addressed the sen
ate in opposition to the measure on
purely constitutional reasons.
Il have not" lie said, been able to
find any constitutional ground what
ever for this measure. No one who
has read the Constitution of the Unit
ed States will contend for a moment
that it comes under any of the ex-
press powers of that instrument.
Il have searched in vain for any
decision sustaining this contention. 1t
is not a law necessary and proper to
carry into execution the clause which
gives congress the power to borrow
money on the credit of the United
States, because this enactment does
not purport to be for any sub pur-
pose"
Mr.. Rayner took up a statement
made by Mr.. Burkett that authority is
found for the legislation under the
general welfare clause He declared
there is no general welfare clause in
the Constitution as an independent
grant of power, that no text writer,
no commentor and no court has ever
ator Burkett contended for.
II know the Constitution under the
last administration was in state of
collapse" continued Mr.. Rayner.
Upon a number of occasions upon
this floor I attempted to show how it
received blow after blow until it was
almost staggering to its grave.
we have a president who is thor
oughly familiar with the landmarks
of his power, who, with his judicial
temperament, not onlv will hold him
self in equilibrium, but proposes to
hold in proper poise and balance the
checks and safeguards of government
al power.
He has never said in his message to
us under what grant of constitutional
power he has proposed this important
legislation. One thing I feel sure of,
and that is that he will never regard
the general welfare clause of the con-
stitution as an independent grant of
power. Such an Interpretation Of this
would convert US into a centralized
government of inherent and unlimited
functions, and would give congress the
right to pass any legislation whatever,
that, in its arbitrary discretion or from
political motives it may determine
upon, and in my opinion destroying the
autonomy of the states and obliterating
the invlolable decision of the tenth
amendment; would make such a
gaping wound in the heart of the con-
stitution that the blood that gave it
life would wither in it's veins"
Mr.. Carter interpreted Mr.. Rayner's s
speech as an acquiescence in the doc
trine that while the constitution does
not specifically warrant the establish
ment of a postal savings bank, it does
not specifically deny such right.

Miss Keller cared for Col. Swope
from September ~ until the day OF his
death. She testified that the mllllon-

ton to the treatment given MN py

Previously, in a deposition taken in
