SUBSIDY BILL AGAIN
HUMPHREY OF WASHINGTON IN. PRODUCES ADMINISTRATION
 MEASURE IN THE HOUSE.
SOME OF THE MAIN FEATURES
Vessels Which Receive the Subsidy Must be Constructed of Iron or Steel and Cannot be Sold Without Per mission of the Government.

Washington, Jan. 6.--Congress con yened after it's two weeks recess promptly it noon. Only a brief session was held In each house, on account of the death during the recess of Senator McLaurin of Mississippi.
 The administration ship subsidy bill was introduced in the house by Humphrey of Washington.
 The bill contains three main feat ures, the payment of mail subsidy the exaction of a heavier tonnage tax on foreign vessels, and the admission of foreign vessels to America registry for foreign trade only. with the pro yiso that these ships shall not share in the mail subsidy.
 The ships which are to receive the subsidy must be constructed of iron or steel, in accordance with plans made by the secretary of the navy; must be available at all times for the use of the United States and cannot be sold without the written consent of the secretary of the navy. They must also employ American apprentices, after five years. 50 per cent of the crew must be Americans.
 It is provided that no ship owned by any railroad company or to which a rail road company gives preferential rates, can receive the benefit of the proposed legislation.
 Explaining his bill Humphrey said. There Is now only one American yes sel engaged exclusively in the foreign trade which is flying the American flag Not ship now running can take advantage of the provisions of the bill Neither can the watch dogs of the treasury exercise their lungs, because 1t is provided the subsidies cannot ex- ceed the estimated revenues from the mail service on those lines.
 If the section providing an in crease in the tonnage is added, it will bring into the national treasury about Sl,000,000 annually. Foreign ships now carry about 90 per cent of our commerce. They are receiving about S200, 100000 from the American people for this service and we expend foi them in river and harbor improvement S50,0O0,O00 a year. It is proposed rc rebate SC per cent of the tonnage dues to American vessels that carry Ameri- can boys, one for each 1000 tons of the vessels.
 When the Panama canal is com pleted it will be used almost exclusive ly by foreign ships. We will get the glory and they will get the commerce. A short time ago we were compelled to send our soldiers to Cuba in foreign ships,

WOULD CUT DOWN THE
 WHITE HOUSE EXPENSES
Could be Reduced S75,o0o a Year With. out Deprivation, Says Rep
 resentative Adair.

Washington, Jan 6.--IIad the presi. dents daughter and son, Miss Helen Taft and Robert Taft, remained in ;he house gallery few minutes longer they would have heard their father roundly criticised by Representative Adair of Indiana for alleged extrava- gance of the executive department.
 Mir. Adair said the presidents salary should not have been increased to $75.- 900 year, adding that a president, with from an income of s5O,000 year who cauld not save a sufficient sum to live. in ease the balance of his life.' did not have sufficient business capacity to direct the affairs of this great nation
 Attacking the presidents allowance of $35,000 for vehicles, stables and the like. MT. Adair argued that this was $30,000 too much, and he also asserted that one-third of the $9,0o0 allowance for care of the White house green houses would furnish the president with all the flowers he could possibly use.v
 Without depriving the president of any of the comforts or luxuries which properly belong to the White house, MT. Adair said, the appropriations Of the executive department which were $329,420 last year could be reduced at least $75,000 year.

The United States Proposes That the Property De Sold to China and Fi- narced by an International Syndi- cate--Russia Is Not Favorable.

SENATOR WILSON'S LAND POLICY
A Bill Providing for Leasing Govern ment Oil and Timber Lands In-
 trcduced in Senate.

Washington, Jan. 7.-The most i'm portant and far reaching measure af- fecting the public lands of the United States, that has been known since the free homestead act. was introduced by Senator Nelson of Minnesota, chair. man of tho senate committee on public lands.
 It is believed that the full power of President Taft's administration will be behind the measure because it estab. fishes new policy in dealing with the coal oil and timber lands Of the Uni ted States, creating a system by which the fee of the surface of these lands shall remair in the federal govern ment and a license system for taking the timber ana mineral riches from the lands.
