I was prepared to point out that other men, not so burdened with work were willing and competent to do some of it, and 1t seemed to me that justice to both the House and all the individuals concerned dictated that these things pc considered.'

ALLEGED SPINDLE
 IS BEING PRObED Claimed Government Lost
 Millions of Dollars A CREOsoTE FRAUD
Is Charged That Southern Ports, New Orleans and Mobile, Have Been Admitting Creosote Importa-
 tions Free of Duty

Washington, May 19.-creosote i'm portations and alleged irregularities concerning them through which the government is said to have lost mil lions in revenue, were considered to- day by the House committee on ex- penditures in the treasury department Stimulated by public charges that creosote, dutiable under the Payne-Al- drich tariff law at 20 per cent adval- prem was being admitted at New Or leans and other southern ports as creo- sote oil, free of duty, the committed summoned Allen D. Benson, who wrote the article which made the charges.
 MT. Benson told the committee that in the summer of 1907 J. E. B. Stuart then collector of the port at Newport News, found at that port the British steamer Balakani, loaded with 2000 tons of creosote, which he believed dutiable at 20 per cent ad valorem. The captain told him he had been bringing it in free for years and that it was not duti- able The cargo was billed for New Orleans and Stuart required the cap tain to give a bond that he would not attempt to smuggle it into this country before he permitted the vessel to pro- ceed. At New Orleans the cargo was admitted free as creosote oil.
 Benson said Stuart called the atten- tion of the treasury department to the matter in the spring of 1910, when the Balakani again appeared with a larger cargo of creosote for Mobile and New Orleans and that Assistant Secretary of the Treasury A. P. Andrew in Sep tember, 1910, issued order to the collectors of customs to collect 20 per cent duty on creosote containing chlor- he gas, such as the cargoes coming g into New Orleans were alleged to be. In November, 1910, Benson told the com mittee that Assistant Secretary of the Treasury James F Curtis, in charge of customs, who was i'll when the Andrew order was issued, gave an order di- recting. that creosote oil containing traces of chlorine gas shall be admitted free. the order operating to admit free of duty cargoes such as the Balakani had often unloaded at New Orleans.
 Benson also told the committee that just before the last order was issued Collector Stuart was removed from of fee Members of the committee have been informed that millions of dollars worth of creosote are being imported constantly upon which 20 per cent duty should be collected and it is further charged that most of this commodity, which is used by the railroads is brought to southern ports, where for merly it was shipped to New York, where now the duty of 20 per cent Is demanded.
 The committee is going to inquire further into this business" said Rep- resentative Cox of Indiana, chairman of the committee, today. Tt will meet again Monday and former Collector Stuart will be asked to tell what he knows of the matter"

Madero Issues Statement


 Senor Madero issued statement to- day explaining that he would not go to the capital until Senor De La Barra steps into the presidential chair The statement follows:
 From the moment I received the invitation of the government of Gen eral Diaz that I should go to the cap- ital Of the republic with the object of the Urea ting for the establishment of peace, 1t appeared to me 1t would be convenient if I did not arrive in Mexico City until such time as Senor De La Barra had been installed in the presidency. With that idea in mind I was about to write telegram in re- ply.
 But 1t appeared to me to do such thing might be interpreted by Gen. eral Diaz as lack of confidence In him on my part and for that reason I ac- cepted the invitation without making any comment or fixing any time for my departure.
 "The one thing that I did was to prepare myself for the journey as soon as 1t would be convenient. Afterward 1t was apparent to me that the gov ernment of General Diaz thought as did respecting the period in which I ought to go to Mexico City, so 1t is possible for me to announce definitely that will not go to the capital until SenOr De La Barra shall nave been placed in power.
 "FRANCISCO l. MADERO."
 Judge Carbajal noted the word "invl- tation" in the Madero statement when he saw 1t tonight and suggested that 1t was too formal an expression for what actually occurred.
 As the rebel leader now has decided not to go to Mexico City until Senor De La Barra becomes provisional pres ant hA fpfr1 1n1 r,1o of 1,o xti l,i, arrange peace terms in Mexico City has practically been set aside
 Peace terms will be arranged by telegraph and by observation, the lat ter constituting the scrutiny which the rebels will place upon acts of congress and the state legislatures between now and the end of the month. The Mexican congress is scheduled to adjourn by the end of the month. It Is safe pre- diction, therefore, that 10. days either will see complete tranquility in Mexico CT a continuation of the war.

Washington, May Especial. )-The Senate district committee ordered a favorable report today on Senator Johnstons bill for the proper ob servance of Sunday as a day of rest in the district.
 The bill Is one that has stirred up much controversy, and has been strong ly opposed by the Seventh Day Ad- ventists and others. The motion pic ture interests of the city. among others object strongly to the bill.
 The sub committee in charge of it. however, made a favorable report to- day, and the main committee did like wise. The effect of the bill will be to shut off ordinary labor in the Dis trict on Sunday, and to make it unlaw- full for any person to engage in any circus, show or theatrical performance
 Persons who observe some other day than Sunday as a day of rest are not amenable to the measure.
