PUBLICITY BILL
IS TAKEN Up FOR
ACTION BY SENATE
Senator Hepburn Declares
Campaign Expense State
il ment Allows Corruption.

The bill to provide for the publicity of
campaign contributions was taken up
In the Senate today. Objection was
made to its consideration when it was
reached on the calendar by Senator
Burton of Ohio. A motion to take 1t
up was made by Senator Lodge of Mas
sachusetts, and prevailed.
After the bill was read in full Mr..
Burton offered an amendment requir-
ing an accounting from all those to
whom candidates have delegated au-
Nhority to make pledges and promises.
This was adopted.
Senator Sutherland of Utah expressed
the opinion that the Federal act gov
erning candidates before primaries
would supercede the State laws.
Senator Heyburn( Republican, of
Idaho declared that the bill authorizes
q man to pay money for his election to
the Senate. The amount being without
limit 80 long as he makes a statement.
That he is given "a legislative license"
and that the people would not elect
Senator but he could secure his own
election through the use Of money.
This is self-defamation," said Mr..
Hepburn. No man should be author
tied to spend money for his own cleo
ton. 1t would also legalize promises
Of patronage, which are now prohibit
ed"
What constitutes legitimate expenses,
travelling and otherwise, was much dis
Cussed.
Honest men must often undergo in
convenience in order that dishonest
ones may be restrained" Senator Root
of New York said. That much cor
ruption exist" ne said, was demon
strated by what already has occurred
in the Senate. The bill would limit
If not prevent repetitions. He believed
all honest Senators should accept dras-
tic regulations to prevent contamina-
ton.
Senator Reed of Missouri agreed with
Mr.. Roots views. He did not think
any restraint could be too severe If 1t
prevented corruption. No reflection
would be cast upon the Senate. He
thought the bill should go farther and
limit the kind of things for which
money might be expended and the
amount used.

of the circumstances connected with
the drowning Of Arthur Parks, a sailor
on the Presidents yacht, Mayflower,

o'clock. Before they could reef their
sail or get to shore the boat was caught
in q squall and capsiZed.
That Griffith and Collins are alive to-
day probably is due to the heroic work
Of Charles H. Coe, of 2947 Mills avenue,
Langdon, who rescued the two men.
Coe was in his sailboat, the Seminole, a
small craft, close in shore waiting for
the storm to subside. Seeing the boat
capsize, he lowered his sails and started
rowing to the scene Of the accident,
nearly a quarter of mile away. Gee

launch and recovered the body an hour
later with graphing irons.
Parks was twenty-five years old and
lived in Highbridge, N. ]. He was serv-
ing his first enlistment. The body will
be taken to Highbridge this afternoon.

Harper, who lived at 70S Twenty-fourth
street northwest, was drowned while
swimming from the old Government
pier at the foot Of Twenty-sixth street.
The boy 5ived from the dock, and 1t Is

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE market
opens for the week with the same re-
straining influences at work and the
same dullness that characterized oper-
ations last week. At the opening to-
day and in the initial trading there was
a show of strength. amounting to small
fractions up to a point, but after the
professionals had acquired enough stock
for the over Sunday orders business fell
into the same rut 1t has occupied for
ten days.
Trading is entirely professional. and
there is not enough outside business to
warrant the purchase of postage
stamps. Crop uncertainty, business de-
preston, and what Congress may do
are the influences which chiefly affect
the market. and 1t is@ma-king time un-
til some or all of these factors are
eliminated The market Is in condition
to respond sharply to any favorable in
