at an uptown lodging house early to
day.
They were apprehended as they were
returning from an automobile trip 10
a suburban resort Both the man and
woman denied all knowledge of the
crime. Webb declared he saw John

CONGRESS MAKES
NEW HIGH MARK
FOR EXPENSES
More Than Billion Dollars Has Been
Voted in Appropriations During
Session Which Will Come
To Close Soon.
Increase of $40, 000,0 in Expenses
Due To Distribution of Two
Pork Barrels.

WASHINGTON, June 2l.-The ap-
preparations made by congress at this
session are the largest in the history
OF the country, reaching $1,0S0,OO0. 900
as compared with s1,044. 100000 last
year.
After a hot days work yesterday,
the house remained In session until
! o'clock this morning, when, amid
noisy scenes. the public buildings bill,
carrying $20.000.000 was passed. with
only five Democratic votes recorded
against 1t. They were cast by Sims,
(Tenn); Sulzer. IN. W; Fitzgerald.
IN. W; SABBATH. Qlls.). and Kerby,
(Ind).
The increase OF nearly $4,000. 900
In the expenditure this year Is due
TO the fact that two great pork bar
rels" OF legislation were distributed
among the hungry statesmen. They
were the rivers and harbors bill, and
the public building bills. In the past
II has been customary to open these
barrels on alternate years. but this
year the congressman wanted feast
OF all that the legislature table afford
ed. The rivers and harbors bill, car
rying about s50,00O.0O0, has been
awaiting the presidents signature for
some time. II has been reported that
he has thus far refrained from sign
Ing to see how congress acted in the
closing days.
There has been n saving this year
of about $30.000000 In ordinary ap-
preparations but owing TO the opening
Of the two pork barrels" the grand
total OF the appropriations Is un-
precedented
