Samuel Has to Meet.
BOTH SCRUB WOMEN
AND CHIEFS SHAKE
Speaker Clark and Commit
tee Chairmen Hold Council
of War Behind Closed
Doors on Plans.
(American News Seryice)

Washington, April 1a.-Speaker
Clark conferred behind closed doors
this morning with the chairman of
nine committees, whose inquisitions
are expected to show many million
dollars were wasted under Republican
rule.
Wholesale investigation of all gov.
crnmcnt departments will follow. Sal
aries are to be cut right and left:
carded.
The old rule, not exercised since
1876 has been revived. giving the ap-
preparations committee unlimited
power to prune salaries and reduce the
annual budget. Extreme uneasiness
pervades in all departments today.
Among the chairmen who will pre-
| side over Investigations are Cox, trea-
sury department.; Moss. agriculture:
Cline. public buildings: All from In.
diana.
Not since 1876. when the Demo-
cratic house undertook a wholesale in
vestigation of ali government depart
ments have those departments been
so exercised as they were when Speak
er Clark and his committee chairmcn
went into session.
To Be Topsy-Turvey.
| Indications today were that the de-
partments and their various bureaus
are to be turned topsy-turvey In each
! of the nine -goSsSQmental departments
lthe~Democrats expect to find illustra-
tions of waste Such revelations will
make excellent campaign material, in
addition to creating considerable ex-
citement in the respective branches of
government.
The probe of 1876 began with the
adoption of a rule making legislation
in order upon an appropriation bill,
providing such legislation is in line OF
retrenchment. This gave to the house
appropriations committee practically
unlimited power to prune salaries and
reduce the annual budget. The Demo
Gratis now have revived this old rule,
of which the Republican house has
never approved, and the appropria-
tions committee of the house today ia
vested with authority to cut salaries
at will. Legislation on an appropria
tion will not hereafter be subject to A
point of order in the house. provided
that the Legislation saves the govern
ment money by abolishing some job
or in trimming down somebody's sal
AIRY. There will be trouble in the de-
partmentS as soon as the Democrats
begin to send their investigation ennis
saries around and uneasiness pervades
the atmosphere in the bureaus today.
The unsettled feeling and desire to
know. where am | at exists in the
breasts of cabinet officers as well as
women who gets few dollars a month
for wiping the floors of mud stains
left by Job hunters. Other chairmen
who will preside over the various in
| vestigatons are: State department,
Haalin. Missouri: War Department
