LESS THAN A BILLION
APPROPRIATIONS OF SESSION
ABOUT $500, 100000.
Leaders Believe All Money Bills
Should Come Out Of One
Committee.

The recent session of Congress was mot
q btllfOn-doliar affair. as has been as
serted. The plans Of the republican lead
ers to retrench expenses have borne fruit
At the beginning Of the session it was
predicted that 1t would be found impos-
sible to keep the appropriations for the
fiscal year 1911 below the billion dollar
total. But this has been done.
While Chairman Tawney Of the House
appropriations committee will not SUBJ
nit his official figures to the public until
tomorrow afternoon or Tuesday morning,
he made a rough calculation last night
that the total of appropriations for the
session of Congress just ended would ag-
gregate about $9O7 ,OOO. 600.
Includes All Direct Charges.
This includes river and harbor appro-
priations which will come out of the
Treasury during 1911 and other expendi-
lures Of all sorts which will be direct
charge upon the Treasury in that year.
1t does not. of course. include the total
of the public buildings bill-aggregating
about $23 O,OO0-which is merely au-
thorized and not appropriated. and which
will not be drain upon the Treasury
during the next fiscal year.
Although Chairman Tawney was able
20 keep down the totals of all the an
hual measures reported from his commit
tee below the estimates submitted by the
various branches of the government serv-
Ice, the naval affairs committee, the mill
tary affairs committe and the post ONCE
committee reported and secured the
passage of measures carrying more funds
than the totals requested by the respect
i've departments concerned
Single Control Advocated.
Mr.. Tawney and many members of the
House believe that the expenses of the
government will continue to grow at an
alarming rate until all annual appropria-
tion bills are placed in charge of the one
appropriations committee, which, in the
nature of things. they say, should exer-
else a general and particular supervision
over all the regular yearly charges on
the Treasury.

FOR FRIAR LANDS PROBE.
House Passes Resolution for Inquiry
Into Charges.

After a fight, which had lasted almost

minutes before final adjournment las,
night. in securing an investigation by
Congress of his charges of fraud and
maladministration in the sale of friar
lands in the Philippines.
The House unanimously passed a reso-
luton, offered by Mr.. Martin, providing
for an investigation Of the entire interior

Hughes Raps Taft.

Unfortunately for the laborlng people
Of this country" Mr. Hughes said. 'Presi-
dent Taft entirely misconceived the pur-
pose Of my amendment. 1t was not, as
he stated, a proposition to legalize boy

prosecution for doing innocent acts in
combination; in other words. to enable
them to strike for higher wages even
though engaged in interstate commerce
or in the production Of a commodity that
is the subject Of interstate commerce.

abundant opportunity to become familiar
with the law in this regard-in fact. he
has made mlch of 1t himself by his de-
cisions. 1t would seem as though he

he would call it, conspiracy.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK BILL
VOTE EXPECTED TODAY.
Bill Under Discussion All Day in the
Senate.

Washington. D. c., March 3.-Tak-
ing advantage of the privilege reserved
in its agreement concerning the vote
on the administra tion postal savings
bank bill, the senate late today took a.
recess until tomorrow morning without
dispOsing of the measure.
The agreement for a vote during the
day was qualified by the use of the
word Legislative before the word
day" The recess prolongs tho day in
legislative sense, and at the same
time leaves the agreement lnviolate.
There is every reason to believe that
the bill will be disposed of before the
close of the calendar day tomorrow.
The bill was under general discussion
today under the guise of considering
amendments, and ii was sharply crit
icised by many senators. A large num-
ber of amendments were adopted. Most
of them were along lines heretofore
agreed upon, but there was on innova-
tion. Senator Page offered an amend
ment ernbodying a provision looking to
the establishment of a reserve fund in
connection with the postal savings.
Nearly the entire five hours during
which the house was in session was
occupied by consideration of the
poStnffice appropriation bill The house
will be in session tomorrow.
