DEBT
BILL IS PASSED
SENATE VOTES BIG ISSUE
OF CERTIFICATES
Senator Clay, Opposing Principle, Says
u. S. Will Have to Appropriate
Millions for Reclama-
ton Work
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, March 2.-After a
brief general discussion, the senate to-
day passed the bill authorizing the
issuance of $3O,0O0,OO0 worth of Ger
tihcates Of Indebtedness for the COM
pletion of irrigation projects already
under way.
The bill is intended to supply enough
money to finish these works, and it is
contemplated the certificates will be
retired by money derived from the
sale of lands redeemed by the i'm
proVements.
Senator Clay of Georgia made a
speech in opposition to the principle
involved rather than against the bill
itself. He predicted that the time
would come when a direct annual ap-
preparation of fifty or sixty million
dollars would be necessary to carry on
the reclamation work. He entered into
a general discussion of government
expenditures, saying he considered as
useless all the efforts to reduce the
vast sum.
These Investigations by commits
sions invariably cost more than they
save" he asserted.
Mr. Clay then referred to Senator
Aldrfch's statement that if he were
running the government he could re-
duce expenditures $500, ,000 900.
IF" interjected Mr. BaIey, who sat
at Mr. Clay's side.
He is running it now and he ought
to accomplish it,"
Messrs. Bailey and Hepburn ex-
pressed the opinion that the public
lands should be turned over to the
several states. There was no division

not deny, but he can get enough of it,
he admits.
1t has always been the intention OF
the president and rs. Taft to restore
dancing to its former place of emf
nence among the world of Washington
amusements and they are pleased to
find other hosts cooperating in this
plan. Musicals will also have a large
place in the 'cial program of the
White House after Lent.
The presence of the Misses Ander-
son, Mrs. Tafts nieces, at the White
House for the past month has given
1t an added interest. Both are charm
ing girls, cultivated, cordial and hand
some. Miss Harriet Anderson, the
younger of the two. is thought to re-
semble Mrs. Longworth. Both young
women have been much feted during
their stay, not only by their relatives
in the White House, but by the Larz
Andersons and Mrs. Nicholas Ander-
son, to whom they are also related.
Miss Anderson has gone to spend some
time with friends in West Virginia,
while Miss Harriet Anderson will
make a series of visits in New York.
Both have made a fine impression on
Washington society, to which they
will always be welcome visitors.

case is incurable, he will frankly tell

KANSAS CITY, Mo, March 2.-After
weeks of delay, occasioned by squab-
bles between attorneys and her pres
ence before the grand jury, Mrs. Lo-
gan o. Swope, the guiding hand in the
Investigation of the Swope mystery,
today gave her deposition in DR.. b. c.
Hyde's slander suit against john g.
Paxton, executor for the Swope es-
tate.
There was little of the sensational in
Mrs. Swope's story. With twinkling
eyes and many smiles for her son-in-
laws attorneys. she told of many of
the eccentricitieS of Colonel SWope,
and then with all seriousness expressed
her confidence in "Dr." Jordan, the
swarthy "yarb" man, who has re-
ceived between $4,000 and $4,000 for
"doctoring'' the 5wopes during eight
years.
While Mrs. Swope was telling her
story a deputy sheriff in Wyandotte
county, Kansas, was searching for the
herb specialist with a warrant, charg-
ing him with practicing medicine with
out license. The warrant was secured
by James Meek, assistant prosecuting
attorney of Wyandotte county, after
the state board of medical registration
and examination had made complaint
against Jordan.
Warrant Not Served
Jordan was found at his home Ill

Regardless of all of Jordan's troubles
Mrs. Swope believed in him. She is
still "doctoring" with him, as she tes-
titled today. She also said that Mrs.

vestigation of the doctor also had
confidence in him at one time.
Frances Hyde" said Mrs. Swope, in
speaking of her daughter, ''was just
as well pleased as any of us when
Jordan cured me-"
"Col. Swope never took any of Jor-
dams herbs" Mrs. SWope said. "All
the members of the family used them
except him"
Mrs. Swope said the medicine Jordan
left at the house was thrown away by
her with many other medicines at the
request of DR.. G. T. Twyman, who took
charge of the fever patients in the
Swope home after DR.. Hyde's dismis-
sal.
Poison Found
1t was Immediately after DR.. Hyde
had been discharged that the medicine
chests of the house were cleared. Tab

Mrs Swope testified she did not know
whether Col. SwOpe had ever taken
any of these tablets.
