AGENT STANDS BY CLAWS
Horace T. Jones, Testifylng In Ballln-
gerPlnchot Inquiry, Proves Good
Witness for Prosecution.

Washington, Feb 26.-Testimony
by Louis r. Claws in his charges
against Secretary Ballinger and the
general land office, was again cor
roborated when Horace T. Jones, spe-
cial agent OF the land office, took the
witness stand before the Ballinger-
Pinchot investigating committee.
Mr., Jones proved to be as good a
witness, If not better for the prosecu-
tion than Mr. CLAWS himself.
One of the most important state
ments made by Mr.. Jones was that
James T. Sheridan, the special agent
of the land Office who supplanted Mr..
CLAWS in the Alaska coal land investi-
cations, so conducted the hearings be-
fore a special commissioner that many
opportunities were lost to prove the
contention of the government that the
Cunningham claims were fraudulent.
He said Mr. Sheridan refused to
listen to the advice of several govern
ment representatives and declared
that inasmuch as he intended to enter
upon the practice of law he wanted
to get all the advertising out OF the
case he could.

ALDRICH WINS HIS FIGHT
Senate Committee Report Railroad
Bill Without ProViso Limiting Jur-
isdiction Of Commerce Court.

Washington. Feb. Ex-senator Aid
rich won his fight in the senate com
mittee on interstate commerce to keep
out of the administration railroad bill
a proviso that will limit the jurisdic-
lion of the proposed court of COM
merce to the power now conferred on
circuit courts OF the United States.
II this victory can be clinched in the
fight that is coming on the floor of the
senate, the new bill will open up to
the corporations such opportunities for
protracted litigation as practically to
nullify the advantages of the proposed
court OF commerce. In point of fact,
the whole plan of the president for
court OF commerce IL declared to be
endangered by this insistence of Sen
ator Aldrlch upon broad court re-
view.
The proposed amendment of the at
torney general limiting the power and
jurisdiction OF the interstate COM
merce court so as to prevent broad
court review of the administrative
acts of the commission does not ap-
pear in the text OF the bill as finally
reported to the senate by Mr.. Elkins.

TAFT FOR ECONOMY
FAVoRs BUDGET SYSTEM FOR
REGULATION OF GOVERN.
MENT'S FINANCE.
DEPARTMENTS ARE WASTEFUL
Speech Regarded as Keynote Of Ad-
rinlstration's Campaign Looking
to Reduction High Cost Of Living
Would Pension Old Employees.

Newark, n. j., Feb. 24.-President
Taft came out fatty in favor of a
budget system. by which the govern.
ments finances may be regulated, in
a speech which he delivered before
the board of trade.
The president talked of waste in
the various departments OF the gov.
ernment and suggested that the way
to curb 1t Is to have a system such as
is I'm vogue in other countries where
schedule of expenditures is made up
with reference to the income.
The president touched broadly upon
other phases of government policy, ad-
vocating among other things, the
quick completion of the Panama canal
TO be paid for by the issue of bonds,
the pushing of river improvements
and the building up of the army and
navy
Two Bsttleships Year.
Like his predecessor, President
Taft sees the necessity of expanding
the navy and he advocated the con.
struction of at least two battleships
a year while the Panama canal is
being rushed 10 completion. He be.
lieves, so he told his hearers, that It is
polite to add to the naval strength
until the canal is finished, so as to
provide ample protection to the At.
lantic and Pacific coasts. After the
canal is built, he says, the country
can then afford to halt in its strength.

Would Pension Old Employees.
Another important recommendation
made by the president was the pen
sioning of what he called the super.
animated employees of the government
and the substitution in their places of
alert employees who would not waste
the money paid to them. This ques-
ton the commission, il appointed, is
to 20 into and President Taft indi-
Gated that he hoped the commission
would find some way by which the
business affairs of the government
could be administered with more re-
gard for practical results.
The presidents speech, with its
various suggestions as to government
economy, was regarded as the key
note of a campaign to be carried on
by the administration looking to the
reduction in the high cost of living.

Philadelphia, Feb. 26.-The first
open move to bring about settle

made when a committee composed of
clergymen of many denominations Of
fered two plans to the company and
the strikers.
The first plan calls for a board of

men and a seventh member to be
chosen by the other six. II Is pro-
posed that each side select three of
the arbitrators.
If this plan does not meet with ap-

total on hand of $500 out of the ordi-
nary 5000 Its claim was fairly accu-
rate, for the strikers admitted that
500 cars were running and an estimate
midway between the two would per
1aps be correct.
Big Demonstration Planned.
On Monday morning, unless all
plans go awry. this city will witness
the greatest labor demonstration the
United States has ever seen.
One hundred thousand labor union
lists, fully one-fourth of them women.
will march in a body upon the city
nall, will surround 1t, and will demand
by their presence the recognition of
the striking street car men and the
acceptance by the Rapid Transit Com
pany of the demand that these men be
given 25 cents an hour and the right
to belong to whatever organization
they care to.
This move was planned as a coun-
teraction to the issuance by city Off
cials of a warrant for the arrest of
John T. Murphy, the labor chief of the
town, on a charge of melting a riot,
because Murphy, in newspaper was
quoted as follows
