Senate and House ConfereeS
Reach Agreement After
Luncheon with Taft
UPPER HOUSE PASSES BILL
President to Have Power to Or
. der Examinations of
Projects
[Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, D. c., June "a
The house conferees today won their
fight for the house provision In the bill
authorizing the issuance of $20,000,0O0
in certificates of Indebtedness for the
completion of existing reclamation pro-
jects, on which it is proposed to spend
the money as raised.
They made the concession, however,
that the provision be modified SO that
upon the president alone.
The house provision would have re-
quired the approval of the army EN-
gineers.
The senate opposed turning over to
army engineers the work of examining
and approving projects, on the ground
that many Of the projects had been de-
veloped to a point where they must \be
continued according to the original
plans, or all the money already in
vested would be lost.
An effort to reconcile the differences
was made at the White House today
when the president had the conferees
to luncheon. He proposed that the
question of having the projects exam
ined by the army engineers be left to
the discretion of the executive, and
the senate conferees were wiling to ac-
cept this suggestion.
The matter was not settled, however,
until after another conference at the
capitol, and the agreement resulted
only after still further concessions by
the senate conferees.
After considerable debate the senate
accepted the conference report.

FATE OF ACCUSED CRATER

CHICAGO, June 24.-It has been
many years since an Illinois jury has

Democratic minority of the Illinois
house of representatives.
In instructing the jury Judge Nc
Surely said the uncorroborated testi-
mony of an accomplice might be con-
sidered, but it should be received with
great caution. Should the jury believe
that any of the states witnesses testi-
fled because of promises of immunity
from prosecution, this should enter
into the consideration of the case. To
find Browne guilty, the court said
the evidence must establish beyond a
reasonable doubt that on June 16, 1909
Browne gave Representative White in
the Briggs house, in Chicago, the sum
of $3.50 in consideration of having vot-
ed for William Lorimer, pursuant to a
corrupt agreement.

TWO PLEAD GUILTY IN
THE COTTON LEAK CASE
Haas Pays a Fine of $4,000, and
Peckham of $4,000

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Moses
Haas of New York and Frederick
Peckham of Cincinnati, after fighting
for five years against indictments re-
turned against them in the cotton
leak in the department of agriculture,
today entered pleas of guilty to the
count in the indictment charging con-
spiracy to effect misconduct in Office.
On the recommendation of the de-
partment of agriculture, Justice Gould
imposed a fine of $4,000 on Haas and
$4,000 on Peckham, which they paid
and were released from custody. The
other indictments pending against
were nolle pressed. Haas and Peck
ham paid their fines in $1,000 bills. The
lawyers for Edwin S. Holmes, jr., the
former assistant statistician, were TAX
en- by surprise when Haas and Peck
ham pleaded guilty and were not pre-
pared to say what course they would
take for their client.
Holmes was tried in 1900 and the
Jury disagreed. He has not been re-
tried because of technical litigation
over cases. 1t was limited from unof-
fetal sources that the government
would be satisfied with the same pun
ishment imposed on the other two men.
Charges are still pending in the New
York courts against Theodore II. Price,
the cotton operator, implicated in the
scandal.
