UNABLE TO AGREE.
Two Postal Savings Bank Bills Re-
ported Back to Committee.


ported Back to Committee.
Tho subcommittee of the House Com
mittee on Post-ofices and Post Roads.
which has been considering the postal
savings bank bill for the last four or
five weeks. has found itself unable to
agree. In consequence it has reported two
measures back to the fun committee.
The principal question at issue among
the members Of the subcommittee con-
Germs the disposition of the funds re-
ceived on deposit by the postal savings
banks. There are, however, several other
matters in dispute.
A considerable majority Of the mem
bers Of the full committee are opposed to
any postal savings bank bill at all Yet
Chairman Weeks and the others who
hold this view realize, at the same time.
that some sort Of a measure must be re-
ported. I'm order that the House may so
on record on the proposition, which is
urged by President Taft
A straight savings hank proposition
IS favored by some members Of the sub
committee. They think the government
should be allowed to bring the deposits
to Washington and make whatever use
of the funds is agreed upon. Other MEM
bers of the subcommittee think the
money should be deposited in local banks
so tnat Il may remain in local channels

WHAT THE PRESIDENT THINKS OF OUR CITY

Speech before Dis,ric BANKERS Asspciation
am not going TO talk tonight about
banking. I am In the situation or a
distinguished Senator from North
Carolina. who. in a canvass concern
ing currency and finance. said that the
only proposition 10 which he was fully
committed was that it took two names
to float his paper.
/ had supposed in coming here that
! was going % meet a strictly Wash
ington audience. with the usual fringe
of responsibility from the Senate ana
the House OF Representative. Wash
iHgton is very dear 10 me. I am going
TO spend three years more here, If l
live. (Applause) The banking vote in
this community. and in the United
States at large Is not such as to swell
my head with your approval.
What l want to dwell on tonight IS
the beauty Of Washington and its pos
sibllities I don't know whether the
District committees IN the Senate ana
In the House are as generous rs they
ought to be. We are all In favor OF
intense economy in somebody else's
Appropriation bill and. therefore. We
may expect that in regard TO the Dis
trlct appropriation bill those Of us who
are intensely interested in Washington
will not be satisfied.
But as ! look back twenty years-and
/ began my official life IN washington
about twenty years agO-the progress
that has been made-in developing the
beauty of this Capital City Is remark
able. In the first place. you can take
a bath now I'm the water OF Washing
ton and see your feet You can drink
the water OF Washington, and not add
anything to #, and feel that you are
not necessarily taking in all the mi
crobes Of typhoid fever.
Parks Greatly Extended.
The parks Of Washington have been
greatly extended. 1 am proud to say
that with my friends Glover and Ross
Perry 1 stood as solicitor general for
the development Of Rock Creek Park,
and we had a big fight to bring it
about. And now It is certainly one
OF the most beautiful and unique parks
in the world. Gradually, by the APP
prevail Of Congress. the flats OF the
Potomac have been redeemed. We
have a large expanse down below the
railroad bridge that now furnishes
nothing but a riding path to adven-
turous riders. and a great many mos
quitoes during the latter part Of the
summer; but. under the appropriation
bills Of this year, 1t is hoped that it
may all be filled up.
The part Of the flats this side Of
the railroad bridge is certainly as
suming. not a present beauty. but a
suggestion Of possible beauty that will
make that park one Of the great parks
OF the world. And if we can ONLY con
meet that by the valley Of the Rock
Creek with the Rock Creek Park. and
then continue around 10 the. Soldiers
Home. and {hen around to Anacos,is.
we will make this city what it ought
to be.

KEEPS UP ATTACK.
senator BuTtOu scores Projects in
Waterways budget.


The Senate heard yesterday the third
instailment Of Senator Burtou's utter
anoes in opposition to the river and har-
Dor bill
He attacked the various projects as
wasteful. and was involved in coutro-
versles with a number OF Senators who
came 20 a defense Of the appropriations
that were under fire.
1T is impossible 10 make an appropria-
ton for the Development and improve
ment % a great harbor or river project,
said the Senator from Ohio. without
some Senator appearing with a demand
fOV an appropriation 20 dredge some in
significant stream at home that has
probably lost what commerce Il once
had. Senators even threaten TO defeat
any river and har0or legislation unless
they obtain appropriations for the i'm
provcmenJ Of these insignificant streams
1t Is IN this way that We pass river and
harbor bills
After Senator Burton concluded. at $50
p. IN. the Senate adjourned. Many OF
the Senators headed for the baseball
park, where Vice President Sherman had
made his way hall an hour earlier.

TERMED OLD STORY
Senator Aldrich May Retire,
Friends Assert.
WOULD GIVE UP PUBLIC LIFE
Leader Of the senate Not I'm Poor
Physical COndItiOn-Bis Intention
to Retire Was Announced Several
Months AgO-Tcrm Ends March 4,
IO11-Busy with Financial Affairs.

Senator Aldrichs friends who were con-
suited yesterday about the report that he
IS preparing 10 retire from Congress at
the end OF his present term, which expires
March (. 1911. expressed the opinion that
there had been no change in the situation
since # was announced several months
ago from Providence, r. J.. that Mi
Aldrich might not be candidate for re-
election.
It's an old story, said those who might
know
The Republican Senators who are closest
to Mr. AIdrich believe there Is a strong
probability that he viii retire al the end
Of his term.
No Confirmation Rcndy.
No confirmation can be had here Of his
reported intention OF giving up al COM
mittee work excep; such as relates TO the
financial question. but This would not be
surprising because the most important
work the Senator Is--ngaged I'm. outside Of
the Finance Committee, is as a member
OF the Interstate Commerce Committee
and the important work of that commit
tee for the present Congress was practi-
caIly over when the railroad bill, which
is now pending in the Senate. was re-
ported.
In view or the fact that Mr.. Aldrich
viii ind his time almost entirely occu-
pied with the work Of the monetary
commission. his friends would not be
surprised 70 ne asked 10 be relieved from
all other committee assignments, in or
der TO enable him 90 devote his energies
90 the work of reforming the currency
laws. There Is apparently no foundd-
ton for the report that Senator AIdrich's
health is seriously impaired.
lie has been under the care OF a well
known specialist I'm Washington. who has
attended President Taft and former
President Roosevelt ON number OF oc-
casions. II was at the advice Of this
specialist that Senator Aldrich made the
trip to Florida recently.
Restored To Health.
Bat the Senator was discharged by his
physician about two weeks ago, as en-
tiroIy restored 10 health. and Il can be
stated on the highest authority that he
has not been advised to give up his Off
cial work in order 10 conserve his health.
None OF the Senator's friends and asso-
ciates were surprised NJ the publication
OF the story. They said Senator AIdrich's
plan for retiring from official life at the
end OF his term had been under cOnsid-
Grafton for several months. that his
closest friends understood just how he
felt about the matter: and that they
would not be surprised if he gave up
public life with the conclusion of his
work with the monetary commission.

WANTS EXPENSES ITEMIZED.
Representative Graham Would Have
Department Accounts Justified.

Justification for the expense accounts
charged tc drainage Investigations is de-
sired by Representative Graham, OF
Pennsylvania. chairman OF the House
Committee on Expenditures in the De-
partment of Agriculture. which held a
hearing Yesterday.
Officials Of the experiment station bu-
reau of the Department explained that
there was great deal of field work in
connection with drainage inquiries. and,
therefore. the expense accounts ran
rather high. But they all contended that
the expenditures about which Mr.. era
ham complained were absolutely neces-
sary. Mr.. Graham intends to carry the
inquiry a little further
