JUDGES SALARIES
NOT TO BE RAISED
Lively Colloquy in House
Over the Judicial Code.

Representative Walter |. Smith, f
Iowa. rsactionary Republican. was
nominated by President Taft several
DAYS ago to be Federal judge of the
Eighth judicial circuit Representative
Norris, of Nebraska. leader of the in
surgent Republicans of the House, WAS
a candidate for the jon. Yesterday a
proposition to increase the salaries of
circuit judges was defeated by insurgent
votes
1t was calendar Wednesd ay. and the
Moon bill to revise the judicial code was
under consideration. Representative"
William S Bennet. of New York. moved
that the salaries of circuit judges be in
creased from s7.000 to $4,000 a year. Rep
resentative Mann. of Illinois, offered an
amendment that they be increased to
$500. On this roll call was demanded.
and the Mann amendment was defeated.
1s9 to l56
Not at all discouraged. Mr.. Mann pro-
posed to make the increase to $500. This
was defeated by vote of IA to To-.
Most of the recognized insurgents voted
with a large proportion of the Demo-
Gratis on both these propositions. Then
Mr. Bennett demanded a roll call on his
original motion that the salaries of cir
cult judges be increased to $4,000. His
colleagues were either discouraged or dis
Susted by this time, and his motion was
lost. 30 to 2l7.
Many brief speeches were made for and
against the proposed salary-increase
amendments. Representative Tawney, of
Minnesota, chairman OF the Appropria-
tiOnS Committee. earnestly advocated the
proposed increase, declaring the salaries
of circuit judges to be entirely inadequate
at the present time, and picturing the
impossibilitv of Federal judge provid-
ing for his family and educating his
children on a misery stipend of 5000
year, with $40 day on the side for ex-
penses. He commended that the increase
in salary would help to keep the ju-
dietary free from faint. Other members,
Democrats and Republicans. took the OPP
poSite view.

TAFY'S SUGGESTION
IGNORED BY BOARD
Naval Appropriation Bill
Carries $125,421,538.

The House Committee on Naval At
mendation made by President Taft and
Secretary Of the Navy Meyer for legisla-
ton permanently abolishing the Bureau
OF Equipment of the Navy Department.
This bureau was abolished temporarily
under the naval appropriation bill last
year. as an experiment, for a period OF
one year, and its functions were dis
tributed among the other bureaus of the
department.
This plan. it is said. has worked salts
factorily. and Secretary Meyer this year
urged that the abolition of the bureau
be made permanent Several days ago
President Taft wrote letter to Rep
resentative Foss. chairman of the COM
mittee. asking that the bureau be per-
manently abolished.
In the naval appropriation bill. which
was completed yesterday, and will be
reported to the House shortly, the pro-
vision relating to the Bureau of Equip
ment is the same as that in last years
bill. In other words, the present status
of the bureau has been continued until
next year. in spite of the recommends
lions of the President and his Secretary
of the Navy. The reorganization scheme
of Secretary Meyer. which Is also on
trial. will be continued for another year
in its present form.
The bill carries a total of SIS. 421 ,5Ss
for the next fiscal year. as compared
with $l3l .35O.S4 appropriated last year.
The initial cost of vessels authorized
will be SIS, So 600 This years estimates
amounted to 81. 46S.l57. An appropria-
ton OF $4,000 has been inserted in the
bill for experiments in aviation. and the
creation of a naval medical reserve corps
has been authorized. similar to that ex-
listing in the army.

OCTOPUS CHASER
IN THE LIMBLIGHT
Senator Jeff Davis Heard in
Halls of Congress.

Before the final passage of the Indian
appropriation bill in the Senate yester-
day Senator jeff Davis. Of Arkansas.
jumped into the limelight with d char
acteristic attack upon former United
States Senator Marion Butler, of North
Carolina.
An amendment to authorize the pay
ment of ZOO to Col. Hugh Gordon, son
of former Senator J. 3. Gordon. of Geor-
Gia. for professional services in behalf of
the Colville Indians of Wyoming.
aroused the ire of Senator Davis, who
made a point of order against the legis-
lation on the ground that it was new
business.
The 'low-comhed rooster of the
Ozarks'' did not wait for "A ruling from
the Vice President, but struck out with
a statement in support of his point of
order that startled some members of the
Senate
This is a case that has been before
the Committee on Indian Affairs, of
which I am a member" shouted the
ArkanSan. 1T is claim in the interest
of Col. Gordon, of Georgia. for certain
services he claims to have rendered for
securing a large appropriation for In
dams. l am advised that not only Col.
Gordon is interested in this claim, but
that former Senator Marion Butler, of
North Carolina, is interested in it.
Il have seen former Senator Butler
lowering around this Senate chamber -
declared the excited Arkansan, land I
want to say TO the Senate that when I
see that gentleman interested in a mat
ter of this kind l at once become SuS-
picioUs that there is something dead in
Denmark.
And that is not all continued Sena-
tor Davis. waving his arms. Il want to
say, sir, that former Senator Marion But
Ter has secured more claims and fees of
this kind to be passed through the various
committees of this Senate than any man
within my knowledge, and I merely state
that the fact that Senator Butler has an
interest in this matter is OF itself suf-
ficient to put the Senate on guard"
The Vice President sustained the point
of order Of Senator Davis. but on motion
of Senator McCumber the Senate pro-
vided that 100000 Of the remaining funds
of the Colville Indians should be kept in
the Treasury. so that the claim of Col.
Gordon and Mr.. Butler should not be
legislated out of existence without fur
ther hearing.

NOT OPPOSED TO TAFT.
embers of Progressive League
Make Clear Their Position.

One of the Republican Senators who

Progressive League. made public Mon
day. has sgnifed his intention of sup
porting William II. Taft for renomina-
ton He is Senator Norris Brown, of
Nebraska Senator Brown has set forth
his intentions in a letter addressed to the
President. 1t is the understanding that
whatever the purposes of Senators La
Toilette, Cummins. and Bourne in or
ganizing the league, some of its men,
bers are in no wise hostile to the Presi
dent.
The publication of the leagues platform
Monday excited a good deal of a hub
bub in Washington. The league was
hailed as an anti-Taft movement, and it
is still so regarded by the adminstra-
ton supporters However, Senator
Brown. and likewise Senator Dixon. of
Montana, ii is understood, take the posi-
ton that the league is in business solely
for the purpose of furthering the cause of
good government. and not to oppose Or

SENATOR PAINTER
DEFENDS LORIMER
Assails Taft for Seeking to
Influence Votes.

President Taft'S name was dragged into
the Lorimer bribery case for the first
time Yesterday Senator Paynter. of
kentucky, criticised the President for
his reported activity against the Illinois
Senator.
Senator Payrter spoke in defense of
Mr. Lorimer. He is one Of the Senators
who signed the majority report of the
Committee on Privileges and Elections
which cleared Lorimer and declared that
he held his seat in the Senate by valid
title Here is what Senator Paynter had
to say in regard 10 President Taft:
1T has been repeatedly stated in sub
stance in the newspapers that the Presi-
dent was taking hand in the case and
was using personal, not his official, in
fluence against NJ. Lorime-.
1T is quite difficult to understand how
the two kinds Of influence can be sep
arated or ASSOCIATED. Evidently the
newspapers were trying to show that the
President was simply trying. by appeals
or arguments, to induce Senators to vote
to unseat Mr. LOrimer, but was not
threatening to separate Senators from
official favorS.
Senator Paynter holds that Lorimr
was legally elected. even if eleven votes
be thrown out as corrupt. He holds that
these eleven votes cannot be counted as
making up the total of the legislature If
they are held TO he corrupt In other
words, a majority of the legislature. with
eleven votes excluded. would be Sc. and
Senator Lorimer. according to the Ken
lucky Senator, would still have 81. ma
jority of one, if eleven were thrown out.
I.orimer's opponents refuse to accept
the contention that the corrupt votes
should be deducted from the total num-
Der of the Legislature having right to
vote as well as from the vote recorded
for I.Orimer.
