HOW LAWMAKERS SPENT MONEY.

and to maintain national policy of
pomp and splendor."
Tawney urged abrogation of the
rule, instituted by Democratic
House, giving to eight different com
mittees the power of preparing the
money bills for each Congress and the
adoption of new rule constituting
one committee, large enough to be
representative of every section, to
have initial control over all appro-
priation bills.
He supported this by showing that
the Appropriations Committee in the
bills in Its jurisdiction cut $685.
925 under the estimates, while the
bill from the seven other committees
exceeded the estimates by $27,931,-
402.
Tawney figured that the total def
ciencies appropriated for at the last
session are less by $7,5S7,654 than
those of the previous session and
$11,825, 1883 less than the average an
nual deficiencies since the Spanish
War. Livingston, comparing the four
years of Roosevelt's term with the
last four years of Cleveland Admin
istration, said there was nearly $4,-
900, 100000 for four years of Repub-
lioanism, as compared with less than
half that sum for the same period by
a Democratic President"
Tawney contended that reduction
of $28,529,821 from the last session
of the Sixtieth Congress had been
achieved He said that the Admins
tration had rendered Congress mate
rial aid in reducing expenses, and
that a wholesome balance between
revenues and expenditures had been
restored, and that prospects indicated
that the Government receipts for the
fiscal year 1911 would exceed the au-
thorized appropriations by $11,937,-
812.
The Democratic view was that
"again the high-water mark of bill
ion dollars of expenditures is passed, :"
that including the authorized recla-
nation issue, river and harbor obli-
cations, public buildings authorized,
lighthouses, etc., the total direct and
indirect appropriations for the last
session reached 1,096,952, 051, in
creasing the previous regular sessions
appropriations by $15,207,909

RECOVER BODIES
AT ANNAPOLIS, ND.
Two Midshi. men and Woman
We're All Drowned Together.
MEN DIED TRYING TO RESCUE HER
Mrs. Bowyer, Daughter-in-Law of
Superintendent, Was Favorite--
Not Able to Swim and Got Into
Deep Water

Annapolis, Md With everything
to indicate that the young midship-
men met their death in manner be-
fitting the best traditions of the
American Navy, the bodies of Sher-
man N Mason, of Newport, r. r.;
Grisby e Thomas, of Union Point,
Ca, and Mrs Joseph Nice Bower.
daughter-in-law of Captain J. M
Bower, superintendent of the Naval
Academy, were found. They were
found close together and there can
be no doubt that the midshipmen
lost their lives trying to save that of
their companion, who could not swim
and who had probably gone off the
shoal and into the deep water that is
on the side of the bar.
The place of the finding was about
forty feet from the place where their
craft in which they went sailing had
been an anchor
One of the launches picked up the
body of Mrs Bowyer with graphing
lines. A few minutes later the bodies
of Mason and Thomas were found al
most simultaneously They were
about four feet apart and each about
six feet from the body of Mrs. Bow
yer
The closeness of all the bodies in
dicated that they had gone down to-
gether, the slight separation being
accounted for by the drifting with the
tide. The circumstances bear out ex-
actly the theory that Mrs. Bower
had got into deep water and the mid
shipmen had tried to save her life.
Mrs. Bowyer could not swim and
Thomas was very poor swimmer
1t is likely, however, that he did what
he could and that Mason tried to help
both. The result was the drowning
of all three. Whatever happened
must have been very sudden From
the fact that the life preservers which
were in the boat were not used, it is
probable that all three were in swim
ming when the accident occurred,
and there was no chance to get the
life preseryers out of the boat.
Mrs. Bower was extremely popular
at the academy, as were both the
midshipmen. She was the widow of
Joseph Bower, a son of the super
intendent, and had made her home
with Captain and Mrs. Bower since
her husbands death two years ago.
Prior to her marriage she was Miss
Marie Dean, of ,Pittsburg. She was
twenty-eight years old.
Mason was star athlete and an
expert swimmer
Both Mason and Thomas, who were
each twenty years old. we're mem
bers of the academy rifle team, and
were to compete in the national
matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, in Au-
gust.

Washington, d. C.-The fragments
of the Taft legislative program which
failed of Congressional enactment at
the session Just ended have been
packed in moth balls for preservation
until next winter The calendar as
already framed up includes these
measures:
To create the Appalachian and
White Mountain forest reserve.
To build up the merchant marine
by system of ship subsidies.
To regulate the granting of injunc-
tions.
To permit the Federal incorpora-
ton of railroads and other common
carriers.
To regulate the issue of stocks and
bonds of transportation companies.
The enactment of additional con-
servation measures, eight bills re-
naming without action.
To establish bureau of public
health.
To encourage the study of agricul-
ture and the mechanical arts, for

which an appropriation of $40 100000
is proposed.
A civil government for Alaska.
Modification of the Sherman Anti
Trust act.
Codification of the postal laws and
reorganization of the postal system.
A plan for the retirement of civil
service employees.
To expedite litigation in Federal
courts.
Beyond these there are many minor
matters to come up for action. Among
them are the Rockefeller Foundation
charter and measure for the regu-
lation of cold storage. Two impor-
tant investigating committees will
make their reports and possibly a
third one. 1t is certain the Balm
ger-Pinchot committee will report it's
findings to Congress and the commit
tee which is to make the inquiry into
the election of Senator Lorimer will
do likewise. 1t remains to be seen
whether the Gore bribery charge will
develop into national scandal.

SENATOR DANIEL IS DEAD.
Distinguished Virginia Senator Had
Been HopelessIy Ill For Months.

Lynchburg, Va. - John w. DAN
lei, senior Senator from Virginia, died
at the Lynchburg Sanatorium, his
death being due to recurrence of
paralysis.
John Warwick Daniel was an old
school Virginia gentleman brought up
to date. He was born at Lynchburg
September 5, 1912, and since early
youth was closely identified with the
affairs of the State as citizen, soldier
and statesman.
He possessed all the graces COM
monty associated with men of the old
South, and his voice musical, soft and
soothing, was one of the joys of the.
United States Senate.
His manners were exquisite, and in
debate he was Chesterfieldian, but if
any luckless opponent pushed him
too far the assembled statesmen were
usually entertained by sarcasm and
biting wit.
As an orator Mr. Daniel easily took
rank at the head of the Senate, and
could only be compared with ingalls,,
Voorhees, and Vest.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y.-The expect
ed and the unexpected happened on
the Hudson here. Cornell swept the
river. as the most confident of her
admirers believed she would. and
Pennsylvania had the crew that gave
battle to the veteran and well trained
oarsmen from Ithaca to the end.
Rowed in the dark, with the water
rough, and under conditions that
could hardly have been worse, Penn
sylvania suddenly jumped into fame.
while thousands cheered. For three
miles, and all through that gruelling,
heartrending fourth, the Pennsylva-
mans fought the Cornell eight, losing
out at the finish by less than half a
length after as stirring and wonderful
squirt as any crew has ever made on
the Hudson.

Washington, D. democratic
contention: Congress at the session
just closed again passed the billion
dollar high-water mark.
Republican contention: Actual
probable fixed charge against reven-
ues during the fiscal year 1911, $685.
12O.761.
Both parties agree: Appropria-
tions for expenses of the Government
made during the past session aggre-
gate 1,027,133, 446.
These contentious epitomize the an
nual review of national appropria-
lions and expenditures, made public
by Chairman Tawney, of the Appro-
priations Committee of the House,
and Representative Livingston, of
Georgia, ranking Democratic member
of that committee. Tawney's fixed
charge statement is based on deduct
ing from the aggregate the authorize
lions which carry no appropriations;
Panama Canal cost, which bond sales
will pay for; the 10000, 900 for rec
lamation projects, which an issue of
Indebtedness certificates will cover,
and deficiency appropriations and
miscellaneous acts for payment of
claims and other special matters ex-
pendable the present fiscal year in
stead of the next.
Tawney asserted that summary of
the constructive legislation of the first
regular session Of the Sixty-first Con-
gress constitutes a record of accom-
plishment surprising in Importance
any previous session in the history of
Congress. Livingston denounced
what he called a large increase on ac-
count of public expenditures, an in
crease of the public debt, half bill
ion dollars, spent for militarism, and
the treasury drained for Army and
Navy"
Tawney said there was substan-
tial reduction in the current military
expenses. while Livingston asserted
that under the reclamation issue and
naval appropriations 1--WE have a pol
