She has been accompanying her hus-

Mrs Colt is "gist'' and not "gette''

one may be- she said, when pressed for
an opinion about the events of the last

REDUCTION IN PENSIONS
Appropriation for Next Year
May Not Exceed $145,000, 900.

Washington, Nov 29.-No general pension
legislation is expected at the coming session
of Congress. The most important measure
now before Congress. designed to remove
the restriction which has kept many wild
ows of soldiers off the pension rolls, is on
the Senate calendar. but Mr.. McCumber,
chairman of the Senate Pensions Commit
tee, and other members of the committee,
are not in favor of further consideration of
the bill in the 6lst Congress.
Thousands of private pension bills are
pending before the two houses of Congress.
All the measures which have been approved
by the committees will be submitted for
passage. and members of the Senate COM
mittee expect that from 2,500 to 5000 such
bills will be passed
The pension appropriation will not exceed
s145, 10000. it is believed. For the present
fiscal year the appropriation is about $l55,-
900 600 and for the last year the eXpendi-
lures were more than S162,0o0000.

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL
Will Be Purely Business Meas
ure, Says Chairman Alexander.
[Frorn The Trihune Rureau. ]

tFrom The Tribune Bureau
Washington. Nov 29.-President Taft held
an extended conference with Representa-
tive Alexander, chairman of the River and
Harbor Committee of the House, and Cen
eral Bixhy. chief of engineers of the army
to-day. to discuss the river and harbor ap-
preparations for the next fiscal year, The
next river and harbor bill, according to
Representative Alexander will be drawn
on a more scientific basis than heretofore,
and appropria tiOns will be only for sur
Veys and approved projects. When leaving
the White House after the conference Mr..
Alexander said:
At the last session of Congress the Com
mittee on Rivers and Harbors unanimously
adopted a resolution favoring annual river
and harbor bills to begin with the fiscal
year ending June so, 1912. The bill of 1910,
being preceded by the triennial bill of 1907.
necessarily carried projects and apprOprIa-
tons far IN excess of the needs of an an
nual bill, because. three years having
elapsed since the passing of a regular river
and harbor BILL more improvements and
larger appropriations We're required. An
annual bill, on the other hand. Contem-
plates only the needs of single fiscal year
This greatly reduces the number of items
and the aggregate of appropriations. Here
tofore the corps of engineers, from long
experience as to the uncertainties of leg
lslation, has felt the necessity of prOVid-
ing not only for actual needs of the en-
suing year, but for possible failure of ap-
preparations for several years
In making the present estimates on the
basis of an annual bill, the chief of engi-
neers submits only the most needed i'm
prcVementS and provides for minimum ap-
proprfations. In other words the chief of
engineers in his annual report just issued.
has laid the foundation for annual bill.
with the expectation that it will be fol
lowed by bill next year. His estimates.
numbering 211 items, approximate $23. 900 coo
and authorizations to the amount of about
| 500 0O0O00. One half of these items are for
| maintenance of completed projects one
quarter for prosecuting work already un-
| Ger government hJrpI
! labor, and about one half of the remainder
for completing projects
It Will be difficult to find in the proposed
bill any evidence of the sO-called pork
harrel'' or drihblng policy. It will be pure
ly business measure. based upon the most
careful work of the engineering depart
ment and satisfactory to Congress. it is
! believed. because it will provide for all OF
the projects which demand attention in the
bill will carry approximately $50 OOO. 900, in
! Cluding authorizations
