HOUSE SIDETRACKS
FEE FOR ATTORNEY
Tawney Asks $4,000 to Pay
A. S. WOrthington.

Legal services come high in Washing
ton-when the government is a client
and the brief appearance of the three
House members on the joint committee
on printing before the District Supreme
Court several months ago is liable TO cost
the government $500.
It will be recalled that the members Of
the Printing Commission were summoned
on mandamus proceedings. The Senate
members refused TO go. The House.
after debating the subject at length.
finally decided to permit its members to
appear and plead lack of jurisdiction Of
the court
Chairman Tawney. OF the Appropria-
tons Committee. yesterday offered an
amendment to the general deficiency bill
appropriadng S5.000 to pay A. S. Worth
ington for his legal advice
This stirred up an awful fuss.
Representative Madden, of Illinois,
thought the attorneys bin was 'inde-
cent, outrageous, and unjust" Repre-
sentative Clayton. of Alabama. thought
it was five times too much" and Rep
resentative Mann, of Illinois, declared it
wasn't half enough"
Mr.. TaNney evidently decided the time
was not propitious for showing this fee
along. and so moved that the committee
rise and quit considering the bill. This
was done.

COTTON INDICTMENTS
CRAFTY GOVERNMENT

The Department Of Justice was greatly
pleased yesterday when formal announce
ment reached Washington that the Fed.
eral grand jury in New York had III.
dicted several prominent men.
The news caused a lot Of unfavorable
comment from Democratic members Of
Congress. The Southern members have
been watching the Department of Justice
closely
A formal statement given out by the
department says the indictments result
from information that the persons liz.
dicted had formed a raw cotton pool 20
create an artificial shortage and ar
bitrarily fix prices.
Il also declared the information was
that spinners had entered into the agree
ment Of the manipulators, and that the
pool had been able TO acquire about 350.
600 bales Of May cotton. The statement
said the grand jury had become salts
fed Of criminal intent on the part OF
the members Of the pool
It stated that the prosecution does not
involve the question OF propriety on the
part Of the New York Cotton Exchange.
but is aimed at a specific violation of the
law prohibiting monopolies of interstate
commerce.
