County Attorney E. J. Britt
says that if the deputies will file
their bills with the sheriff they
will receive their expenses when
final disposition is made of the
case; that it is only a question OF
waiting, as other officers have
to do. If in any case the pris
oner is not convicted and the
costs fall upon the county, ther
the commissioners will pay; i
the costs fall upon the prisoner
then the prisoner has to pay AM
the deputy gets his money jus
the same. In some instance
these expenses have l,een pal

says, no authority for doing s,
and when they have deem s
paid the county has had to be;

DRIVEN BY AlOR|cH|sM
Complains That the Resolu- tion for Inquiry Into the Cause of High Prices Was Drawn to Shield the Tar if and the Trusts.

Washington. n. C.. Feb. 3.-SenatOr Elkins made a bitter complaint in the senate today concerning the treatment he had received in connec- ton with the resolution providing for an investigation of the high cos; of food. He charged Mr Aldrich with desire to shield the tariff law and the trusts in the inquiry. and he mtimated that hereafter he might be an ''insurgent'' if his wishes did not receive more respectful consideration
 Taking the floor. Mir. Eikins com plained that the finance committee had reported the Lodge resolution af- ter a days consideration. whereas his own measure had been held up by q contingent committee for months. Mir. ElkinS cOntended that many i'm pOrtant features of hiS measure had been omitted from the Lodge resolu- tion. and he asserted that the latter had been so framed as tO avoid an inquiry into the effect Of the tariff on food prices.
 Why do you want to dodge the tariff2' he asked, and added: I'm a tariff man myself; I'm not afraid to face the question in connection with this investigatin."
 Then he referred to the participa- ton of Mir. Aldrich in the preparation of the tariff bill, and that Mir Aid rich was qnick to act in anything af- fecting his child"
 When MT Lodge read his resolu- tion. amended by the finance com mittee. tO show that it proposes to include the effect of the tariff, in the inquiry, the West Virginia senator, still unsatisfied. declared that the measure as reported is a mere meth cd Of side-stepping the question, while his own measure has been so manipulated as to cause il to sleep the sleep of death"
 At this juncture, MT. Bailey sug- sested to Mir. Elkins, that if he de- sired to get action by the finance committee he should get on the com mittee.
 T suppose sO.'' responded Mr. FL l5ins "I never have gotten anything out Of that committee except in con- sideration of the tariff, when I got few droppings by begging for them and by voting for everything else they suggested"
 Mir. Aldrich replied that Mir Lodges resolution was much broader than MT Elkins represented.
 Let's see if it is," responded MT. Elkins. Where's anything in it about trusts and monopolies? Are they to be investigated as to their effect on food prices? Let's see who's nursing them?'
 Mir. Aldrich replied that he had no desire to dodge q full inquiry or to protect any interests.
 Re-introducing his resolution with the request that it he referred to the finance committee, MT. Elkins said: So far. I've kept in procession. and have stayed on reservation. But I don't have to stay there always; tariff laws don't live forever"
