HOUSE REFUSES TO CONCUR
WITH SENATE IN ALLOWING
GIFT ACCEPTANCE.
House Committee Seeks to Discour-
age Acceptance Of Gifts or Decora-
tions From Foreign countries-sen-
ate Would Have Allowed Certain
Things to Pass.

Washington, April THE house
committee on foreign affairs today
rejected unanimously the bill passed
by the senate granting authority to
officials of the government and Off
GERS of the army and navy to accept
certain gifts presented to them by
foreign powers. Vigorously worded
resolutions were adopted by the
house committee, designed to dis
courage the practice of seeking from
congress the privilege of receiving
gifts of this character.
The senate bill would allow the ac-
ceptance of only such gifts as were
commensurate in value with services
performed by Americans. 1t would
prohibit the acceptance of rank or
decorations from secret orders of an
official character. The bill was de-
signed to set a standard so that Of
ficials would know in advance just
what they could accept with pro-
priety.

Springfield, Mass, April IA
dramatic incident in the career OF
Bertram Gage Spencer, Springfield's 8
self confessed masked burglar and
slayer of Miss Martha B. Blackstone,
was revealed tonight when Michael
Gi1hooly, a local street railway mo-
torman, whom Spencer today ad-
mitted having shot and nearly killed
two years ago, recognized in Spencer
the man whom of late he had been
making a boon compaion.
For month previous to the MUIR
der of Miss Blackstone Gilhooly and
Spencer were on terms OF close
friendship doVeg shrdlu cmfwypa
companionship. Gilhooly, however,
had not the slightest suspicion that
his friend was the masked bandit
who had shot him. Spencer at the
time of the trolley holdup mistook
Gilhooly for the conductor of the
car and ordered him to throw up his
hands. Gilhooly, believing the COM
mand a joke, did not obey and was
shot twice.
Spencer today declared that he was
the man who shot Gilhooly and who
made his escape so neatly as to COM
pletely mystify the police.

NO BASE BALL FOR
CITY EMPLOYEES.

New York, April 7.-Employes OF
the New York City department OF
finance, who yesterday had their
hopes of seeing the summer baseball
games b1fghted by the comptroller's
announcement extending their office
hours to 6 p. m. ar up in arms and
declade that unless the six-hour day
is restored they will institute a
strike which will tie up all the city
business.
In a spirited communication sub
mitted to Comptroller Prendergast,
his employees say:
"The work of the department
was performed just as we'll when it
closed early in the afternoon. 1t
seems a pity that the comptroller
cannot find any other means to pro-
mote his ambition than by continu-
ally abusing his employees in the
newspapers. Inc empoyes feel that
they are as good a body of men as
in any business house, doing their
work faithfully a1d well. But un-
less things are done differently, the
department is likely to become one
in which every employe will shirk
work as much as possible, and no
one can blame them"
