Washington. March 10.-The Bal
ainger-Pinchot Investigation was re-
sumed today with former Secretary Of
the Interior Garfield on the witness
stand. The examination of Garfield was
taken up at the point where it was
left of when the committee adjourned
Saturday. Garfield had just begun a
detailed explanation Of the four coal
land b:.ls introduced in congress dur
ing his term as secretary. He continued
session today.
Hearing is EnIivened.
The testimony of former Secretary of
the Interior Garfield before the Ball
linger-Pinchot investigators today was
enlivened by the declaration of the
witness that he did not believe the
$30.000,O00 bond issue, recommended by
the president to congress, was neces-
sary for the proper forwarding of ir-
rigation work in the. west. Garfield said
this in defense of the cooperative
agreements he entered into with the
water users associations and of the
reclamation certificates he issued in
evidence of work performed, and which
have come to be known as Garfield
currency" Garfield claimed it was evil
dent the attorney general and presi-
dent did not have the proper facts be-
fore them when they reached opinions
adverse to the legality Of the reclaim
alton certificates. Witness implied that
Ballinger might have been responsible
in this connection. Garfield said he
could not recall any conference with
Ballinger regarding the Cunningham
coal claims, altho Ballinger said he had
conferred with Garfield after the re-
ceipt of the CLAWS protest against a
clear listing OF the Alaska claims

Cleveland, O., March 1O.-The run
on the Society for Savings was re-
newed today and when the doors op-
ened this morning hundreds of deposit
tors were in line waiting to withdraw
their money. Officers of the bank an
nounced today that there is on hand
and ready for depositors $6,539.656 in
currency, the depositors are being paid
off as rapidly as they present their
books.
The origin of the run is unknown.
Former Governor Herrick, president of
the bank, the auditing committee, and
State Bank Examiner Seymour issued
statements late last night announcing
that the institution was in excellent
shape. Six million dollars in currency
was on the counters during the run.
The Society of Savings is an insti-
tuition without capital stock, organized
under special charter as a mutual saw
ings society.
In addition to available cash the bank
has government and other bonds as
security of loans to the value of s30,-
900 900 and it holds real estate security
for loans of S10,O00,000. The run was
started by rumors originating in the
foreign section of the city, so far as the
Officials are able to learn.

Washington, March 1O-Even SEN
ator Elkins has become convinced that
IT the administration railroad bill is
enacted without eliminating some of
the jokers, it will bring disaster to the
republican party. The bill has been
made unfinished business in the SEN
ate.
Senator Cummins is to open the de-
bate with an exhaustive discussion of
the defects and jokers of the measure.
He is to set forth in his speech the
reason why the progressive republicans
will not support the measure in it's
present form and will vote against it
unless it is materially changed for the
better. He has already pronounced
the proposed legislation as a step back
ward in the matter of government con-
troll of railroads in the interest of the
public, and he will seek to prove this
assertion.
Senator Elkins, chairman of the in
terstate commerce committee, which
reported the bill to the senate and pre-
vented any amendments while it was
in committee went over to the house
yesterday. He congratulated the MEM
bers of the house committee upon the
manner in which they are disregarding
the presidents wishes and are making
the bill over, with view to giving it at
least the appearance of legislation in
the interest of the public

said. 1--WE should have pursued the

MORE CHANGES IN BILL.
House Committee to Limit Powers OF
Commerce Court.


Washington, March 10.-Stfll further
vital amendments to the anti-merger
section Of the railroad bill will be made
by the house committee. The admins
tration forces are willing to drop the
provision that the commerce court shall
consider public benefit in determining
whether q merger shall be permitted
under the Sherman antitrust act. Now
the, courts have no discretion in deter
mining violations of that act. Com
binations all fall in the same category,
whether they are good or bad.
In the house committee the pro-
posal has been assailed on the basis
that It attempts to confer upon the
courts a power which is legislative. It
has been declared that to give the
coufts such discretion would be uncon-
stitutionaL @
BY giving in on this point the admin
istration hopes to retain for the COM
merce court the power to determine
whether the proposed mergers are per-
misslble. It is hoped thus to gain q
compfomise. That the court should

vance 10 In Two Years.
Washington, March 1O.-The senate
cost OF living committee examined Ed
ward F. Hall, who conduct a local
grocery and meat market. Hall said
the biggest jump in meat prices he
ever had known was in sthe last two
years, but he gave no figures.
Hall said he figured on gross pro-
fit of 10 per cent, but was satisfied with
a net profit of per cent. This caused
Senator Smoot to inquire:
"Then how Is it you have accumu-
lated $4,000 in fifteen years?"
The. reply of Hall was regarded by
the committee as evasive, but the point
was not pressed. Hall said he had to
do twice as much business and charge
more than he did ten years ago to
make the same amount of money. He
ESTIMATED that the cost of help in
creased about 10 per cent in ten years.
Speaking of butter, Mr.. Hall said
that Elgin creamery was standard and
that the price was fixed at Elgin.
Covering period of fifteen years, Hall
said, prices had remained stationary
on all kinds of canned vegetables, can
ned fruits, sugar, and oil. Flour had
increased about 25 per cent.
Senator Lodge mas discovered time
in 4he past when prices were unusually
high, thru the finding of a document Of
the twenty fourth congress. 1t is a
Recommendation by the secretary of
the treasury for an increase in the
salaries of clerks.
A memorandum accompanying the
recommendation showed that the price
Of sugar at that time was IA cents a
pound. flour IS barrel. and illuminat-
ing oil 81 a gallon. Labor was paid
only IS cents day. The date of the
document was 1886.
It costs less to feed the navy on the
Chinese coast than at any other part
Of the globe, according to figures trans
n1itted to the house yesterday by Sec
retary Meyer.
Fresh beef in 1908 was between 4 and
cents poundAat Chefoo and ran as
high as IS cents at Gibralter, while at
nome 1t ranged from to 10 cents, and
from II to IA cents in Panama.
Eggs cost only from 5 to cents a
dozen at Chinese ports, but in the
United States were lowest at 20 cents
and highest at "a cents.

CHURCH FUND DwlNDLEs
Cost Of Adjudication and Handling Of
French Properties Eats Into Original
Valuations - No Further Arrests
Made.

Paris, March 10.-No further arrests
scandal developed in the discovery of
a shortage of $2,000,O00 in the accounts
of Duez, one Of the liquidators Of the
church properties taken over by the
state. It is stated that originally the
church property was valued at $780,
100000. The inventories placed value
of $100,000,000, and later this was re-
duced to $50,0O0000. The gross re-
ceipts from the property thus far have
been only $19,000,00O, and all Of this ex-
cept $5,S00,000. has been expended for
the cost of adjudication and commits
sions to the liquidators.
Revelations following the arrest of
M. Duez, judicial trustee of the Tri-
bunal of the Seine, and formerly liqui-
dator of the properties of dispossessed
religious organizations, have caused a
great sensation in France.
It is predicted that they will have a
disastrous effect on the government s
chances in the coming elections. There
is indignation in many quarters that
the property wrested from the religious
bodies, which in many cases was de-
voted to relieving the necessities of the
sick and poor, should have been al
lowed. as is charged, to be frittered
away in speculation and dissipation.
According to the newspapers Duez's
defalcations now prove to be nearer
$2,00O,00O than $1,000,Oo0. It is said
the money was in nowise all lost in
bourse transactions. Some Of it was
invested in real estate by Duez for his
own benefit, it is alleged.
It is declared also that he lavished
immense sums on Mile. Peirie, no.
torious and beautiful demi-mondaine.
Many invoices of jewels were found
among his papers These and other
gifts to Mile. Peirie in the last few
months are said to have amounted to
$4,000. Duez also maintained a villa
on the Riviera.
The details of his alleged treatment
of the church property make amazing
reading. There is much talk of other
arrests. 1t seems, according to the al
legations, Duez shared his plunder with
unscrupulous lawyers and others.
The republican press finds no words
of excuse for the disgraced official and
lays much of the responsibility for the
condition of affairs upon the immense
amount Of work assigned to single
liquidator. At the same time the papere
accord the government praise for ex-
posing the scandal on the eve Of the
general elections.
