EMBASSY MEASURE
PASSES IN HOUSE
Big Majority for United
States Buildings.

The Lowden bill authorizing the gov
ernment to erect its own embassy
buildings in foreign capitals was
passed by the House yesterday by q
vote Of 141 to 80.
There was great rejoicing over the
result. notably by Representatives Low
den. of Illinois, and Longworth, of
Ohio. and for a time business had to
be suspended while Mr.. Lowden, the
author Of the bill. received the con-
gratulations of many members. For
many years the Committee on Foreign
Affairs has regularly reported the Low
den bill. or a bill drawn along similar
lines, only to have the measure re-
jected by the House, and advocates Of
the bill feel reasonably confident now
Of seeing it on the statute books.
In discussing the Lowden bill, Mr.
Longworth characterized the present plan
Of representation abroad as IAN aristo-
cratic ofhce-hoIders' trust
None but wealthy men," said Mr..
Longworth, could afford to accept an
ambassadorship at the present salaries
paid. and considering the cost Of renting
appropriate embassies and legations in
other capitals. an expense now saddled
on the incumbent Of the Office"
When the Democrats showed signs of
opposing the bill Mr.. Longworth an
nounced that the measure had the ap-
proval Of William Jennings Bryan. Rep
resentative Lowden declared that every
Secretary of State since Richard Olney's
time had urged that the government own
its own embassies and legations.
What's a poor man going to do with
a $4,000 mansion?" asked Representa-
tive Cullop, Of Indiana. in replying to
MIR. Longworth's plea that persons other
than millonaires should be enabled to
accept posts in the American diplomatic
service.
Thirty-six Democrats voted with the
Republicans on the passage of the bill.
1t is the understanding that the measure
will be concurred in by the Senate.
The Lowden bill authorizes the Secre-
tary Of State to purchase or erect build
ings for use Of American diplomatic
not more than $50o.00c to
be expended for such purpose in any
one year.

EVEN CHAMP CLARK
MAY Be IN DANGER
So Say Opponents of Bill
Limiting House.

A situation is developing In the House
and Senate that promises to prevent the
passage Of an apportionment bill at this
session Of Congress.
A combination has been effected by
Democratic and Republican members
from States that would lose representa-
ton under the bill providing for a House
OF 3T members. Included in this combina-
ton are Republicans who have openly
announced that they will not abide by
the decision Of the party caucus held
last week. which gave approval to the
Campbell plan limiting the House to 81
members. as at present, and other Re
publicans who attended the caucus are
said to be flirting with the ''bolters."
Now comes Senator Stone. Of Missouri.
and Champ Clark. also Of that State,
who declare that the Republican leaders,
in supporting tho 81 plan. are conspir-
ing to deliver a blow at tho Democracy
of Missouri
II a bin providing for <s3 members Is
put through. the Missouri districts will
remain unchanged. II q bill for 3H men,
bers passes, however, the Missouri Democ-
racy. it is contended, will be MANAGED.
The Democrats control the Missouri
legislature, but the State has Repub-
lican governor. Tho Democrats have less
than a two-thirds majority in the lesis-
lature. Should a bill Of S91 members be
passed. Missouri would lose two MEM
bers. and it would be up to the legisia-
ture to redistrict The Republican gov
ernor. the Missouri Democrats say.
would veto such a bill The Representa-
uves Of the State would then have to
be elected at large instead Of by dis
tricts. Under these circumstances, the
Missourians point out, the Republicans.
who are in control Of the election ma
chinery. would be in a position to deal
in that State body blow.
Even Champ Clark. they declare. might
lose out in the shuttle.
As the time draws near for adjourn
ment the prospects for the passing Of
the apportionment bill diminish. Sena-
tor Stone has declared that he will fill
buster single handed. if necessary.

Representative William S Bennett, Of
New York. started to make his political
beQuests yesterday. Mr.. Bennet an
nounced at the White House that he was
very sorry. but he would be unable to
continue the crusade he began in the
House recently to show that the District
Of Columbia Commissioners and their
board Of assessors were not fair to tho
poor and favored the wealthy.
Mr.. Bennet said that he was greatly
grieved that he could not carry on the
good work, but said that there was not
sufficient time remaining during the pres
ent session for him to collect all tho
data necessary.
Il have selected the man to carry On
the fight IN the next Congress-" said Mr..
Bennett Il cannot tell his name just
yet but I will turn over all my fnforma-
ton to him.
Taft Not Likely to Act.
What the outcome of tho numerous re-
cent charges against the District Com
missioners and other officials will be is
not known, but it is regarded as settled
that something more than defamation in
Congress and complaints from tissatis-
fed individuals will have to be produced
before President Taft orders a general IN
vestigation, or before radical action will
be taken in the case.
The President earnestly desires to be
shown something that looks like a prima
facie case. one with names. dates, docu-
ments, corroborative evidence, &C. be-
fore worrying about the lost and undone
condition of the District will be Of any
service to him as weight reducer.

TAFT Is INVOLVED
IN INDIANA FIGHT
Rivalry for Federal Patron
age Brings Warfare.

There Is an interesting rivalry going
on in Washington just now between In
diana Republicans for the future control
Of the Republican organization in that
State. President Taft has been put in
position where he is in a sense an
arbiter Of the matter The immediate
stake involved is the Federal patronage
in Indiana.
President Taft has been entertaining
one or two Indiana politicians of promi-
nence daily at the White House for the
past few weeks. He has invited a num-
Der Of leading Republicans Of the State
to come to Washington to confer with
him, with a view Of trying to harmonize
factional differences and bring about har-
mony in the party ranks that will lead
to victory in the State two years hence.
Senator Beveridge's term will expire
on March 4. There are two vacancies IN
important Federal offices in Indiana. The
Office Of United States marshal has been
vacant for several months. and the Office
Of internal revenue collector OF the IN
dtanapolis district will soon become va
cant.
Senator Beveridge recommended the ap-
pointment OF Edwin NJ. Lee, chairman OF
the Republican State committee. as mar
shall The Fair airbanks-Hemenway- X ceiling
faction. that was formerly IN control OF
the State, arc opposed Chairman Lees
appointment. Representative Crumpacker
a close personal friend Of President
Taft's. and who will be the only Re
publican member OF Congress from In
diana after March 4. recommended a
candidate for the Office of marshal
To compose the differences, President
Taft yesterday offered to Chairman Lee,
who had been summoned to Washing
ton. the Office OF Auditor for the State
Department, but Senator Beveridge re-
fused to permit Mr.. Lee to accept it,
and the fight was renewed. Senator Bev-
eridge sees the President almost daily
He is very anxious that the office be filled
before March 4. on which date his right
to recommend as Senator will expire
by limitation.
Incidentally, the Senator from In
diana has been working in harmony
with the President to put through some
of President Tafts most important
recommendations to the Senate The
Senator from Indiana is the only one
Senate who will vote for President
Taft's Canadian reciprocity pro-
gramme.
Senator Beveridge announced yester-
day that he would address the Senate
on Thursday in support Of Canadian
reciprocity. He is also supporting
President Taft's recommendations for
a tariff board, but in that attitude he
has not parted company with the other
insurgents. He is also taking an ac-
tive part in the fight to exclude Sena-
tor Lorimer. a matter in which the
President is taking no personal part
openly, but one in which he is be-
lieved to stand with the majority Of

DROPS TARIFF BOARD BILL.

Senate Committee Takes No Final
Action ON the Measure.
The Finance Committee Of the Senate
further considered the bill creating a
tariff board yesterday, but took no final
action, and adjourned until Thursday. A
few slight amendments were made. A
proposal to eliminate the section con-
ferring On the board inquisitorial powers
was eliminated from the bill by a vote
of the committee, but later the question
was reopened and action deferred.
1t appeared on further discussion that
the objections in the committee were not
directed SO much against the inquisitorial
powers, but to an authorization direct
ing the board to report to Congress cases
of contumacious witnesses.
The tariff board matter has been de-
prived of much of the interest it formerly
had for Senators by the certain knowl-
edge that the bill will not be allowed to
pass the Senate this session.

1t became known here yesterday that
C. W. Morse. the New York banker, now
in the Atlanta Penitentiary, has added
twenty days by his own actions to the
sentence Of fifteen years imposed upon
him by the Federal court in New York.
About a year ago officials Of the peni-
tentiary found that Morse had some
money on his person. The banker was
called upon for explanations. He re-
fused to tell where he got the money,
but told what officials say were conflict
ing stories. For this reason twenty days
were taken OF his good-conduct record.
An appeal was made to the Department
OF Justice. Both the wardens at At
lanta and the superintendent Of prisons
here thought that the twenty days fine
should be annuled Attorney General
Wickersham. however. did not agree, and
It will remain against Morse.

LORIMBR DEPARTS:
RUM0RS FLY FAST
Believed He Will Resign to
Avoid Vote in Senate.

Senator Lorimer has gone to Chicago.
and there was a renewal yesterday after
noon Of the rumors that strong pressure
Is being brought to bear on him to get
him to retire from the Senate. and thus
relieve his colleagues of tho necessity OF
voting on the question Of excluding him.
Senator Lorimer was told before he de-
parted for Chicago that he could not
hope to retain his seat Senators who
are outspoken in his favor admitted that
a substantial majority Of the Senators
are in favor Of excluding him.
Senator Lorimer's personal friends ex-
planned that his hasty departure to Chi
cago was due to tho necessity that he
submit to treatment for q throat affec-
ton that has troubled him for years.
This ailment . few years ago necessitated
an operation. There has recently been
a recurrence OF the symptoms. so his
close friends say. and he felt that 1t
was important that he submit to treat
ment at once.
Think II Means ResiEninE.
Many Senators were inclined. how
ever, to associate Mr.. Lorimer's de-
parture for Chicago with a report that
he is considering the wisdom Of re-
firing voluntarily from his seat In the
Senate, rather than submit to what at
this time appears to be almost q GER
tainty that he will be excluded.
Left to his own inclinations in the
matter, the Senator from Illinois would
decline to quit. But the
pressure from his party colleagues may
become so strong that he will feel i'm
PEELED to yield. II he should conclude
to retire voluntarily. 1t is assumed that

Lorimer himself. and that 1t would be
withheld until after Senator Bailey. of
Texas. and the other Senators who
have defended him have had an oppor-
tunity to present to the Senate and the
country the reasons which influence
them to uphold his title to his seat.
senator Jones Against Lorimer.
Another Republican Senator went upon
record in the Senate yesterday in a long
speech as opposed to allowing Senator
William Lorimer. Of Illinois. to retain
his seat in the Senate Senator Wesley
L. Jones, who confessed that he had
served in the House Of Representatives
and on the same committee with Mr..
Lorimer. avowed himself of the opinion
that the Senator from Illinois held no
valid title to his seat.
after a careful study Of the evidence
in this case, and the briefs and argu-
ments of counsel said Senator Jones
Il am forced to the conclusion that men,
hers of the Illinois legislature voting
Hor Mr.. Lorimer were bribed, and that
as the result of their bribery they cast
their votes for him. and that sufficient
number OF the members Of the Illinois
legislature were so bribed and so cast
their votes as to insure the election. and
that without them he would not have
been elected on the a6th Of May, 1903"

INQUIRY INTO ECUADOR LOAN.
Secretary Knox Asks Full Report,
OwinR to American Interests.

Secretary of State Knox has directed
the American Legation at Quito to make
a full report upon the proposed loan
agreement made between the govern
ment Of Ecuador and a French syndicate
for the sanitation Of Guayaquil and for
other purposes.
The department takes the position that
the proposed agreement will have to be
scrutinized carefully, because Of the ne
cessity of protecting the large American
interests involved in the Quito-Guayaquil
Railway. which was built by Americans
and is owned by an American corporation.
The Ecuadorian government Is now heav-
lily indebted to the railway company. and
its rights in the matter of subventions
and so forth have not been met for some
time past The department is also in
terested in the proposed sanitation Of
Guayaquil because Of its proximity to the
