 NOT TO BE PUT ON EXHIBITION

Washington, December 16.-Efforts 10 authorize the sale of the hull of the

 desire to exhibit it at various ports of
 the United Etates and charge admission bees to visitors, were defeated today in |the House The urgent deficiency bill,

 It was admitted in the debates that of |ers approaching s1,0Ooo0O have been re- eived from exhibition interests for the lear portion of the hull. which can be |illed up with a hulkhead and lowed from Havana to the United States. This sum |voluld more than cover tfe S9O0,oo0, the los, of clearing the wreck out of Ha- lama harbor.

 CAUSE FOR CONCERN

Berlin, December 16.-The German gov- ernment sees no occasion to concern it. self with the threat of tariff hostilities between Germany and the United States contained in the letter written by Secre- tary Knox to Representative oscar IIn- derwood, chairman of the ways and means committee of the House, in which he suggested that the tariff act should he amended so to provide additional du- ties to prohibit importation of food from any nation which places restrictions on the entry of American goods.
 The authorities will await action by Congress-. The government has received nothing in the way of preparation for ac- ton. either through the embassy here or through Count Bernstoff, the German ann bassador at Washington. A report. how ever, has been asked for from the Ger man ambassador.
 Public opinion Is very little concerned about the matter particularly. in view of Representative Tnderwoods declara- tions in the House taking an unfavorable view of Mir. KnoX'c proposition. What additional comment appears in the news paper takes an unfavorable, vexed tone.

SHARP DEBATE OVER
 DEFICIT IN HOUSE
Economy Committee" Pre- cipitates Fight by Request
 For More Money

Washington, December 16,-A request for an additional S5O000 for the expenses of the House of Representatives on the part of the economy committee of the House and to cut in two the mileage of senators and representatives today threw the House in dehate on expenses that is eonsid prolific of the session that are to come.
 Republicans again charged the demo- crats With having lost track ot their economy programme. The reply from the democratic side was the Introduction of resolution by Representative Palmer of Pennsylvania, leader of the economy l board. to cut the annual mileage allow ance from 20 cents per mile to 10 cents per mile The democrtic forces split on the proposition and the plan was voted down. 50 to 13s. Subsequently on a motion 10 reeommIt the urgent deficiency appropria- ton bill to the appropriations committee with instructions to cut down the mile age, the Palmer forces again lost 9S to 129
 Chairman Fitzgerald of the appropria- lions committee explained the $5o,00 def icit appropriation for the expenses of the House by dividing some of the monthly expense accounts of the Investigating commit ses. The Stanley Steel investigat- ing committee, he said. was spending s27 month, which, extra stenographc eX penses were costing 5000 month.
 Later Chairman Stanley offered to ex- plain the expenses of the committee to any member who wanted to inquire about them.
 The House approved expenditures for a number Df departments, including about $42, 700 for the treasury department, which MT. Fitzgerald said was made necessary because the department had cut it's esti- mate too low last year. An appropriation of s105,OO0 for an immigrant station ct Philadelphia was refused.
 Members indulged in personal language when the proposal to cut down the mile age was taken up. Representative Hum phrey of Seattle said that members who lived near Washington were always try ing to economize at the expense of mem bers who lived far away.
 You propose to penalize members who have famiiies," he declared, "and to place a premium on bachelors Any member of Congress who wants to come to Wash ington and leave his family at home is unfit to oe member of the House, and any one who wants to penalize the mem . bers who have big families is not fit to be a member.
 No change was made in the mileage. An attempt to cut the mileage rate to 10 cents will be made again before this session ends.

President Taft today sent for several of the Senate leaders and placed the mat ter before them. He is said to have urged that the Russian abrogation be modl- fled. The President, it was said, had not given up hope that the negotiations un- dertaken some time ago with the St Petersburg government would meet with success. The demand for immediate ac- tion by Congress has become so insistent however, that he would not attempt to check it.
 Senators and members of the House, apprsed of what many of them charac- terized as a yelled threat by Russia to cut off all friendly relations with the United States, discussed the matter freely
 Republican leaders in the House were inclined to criticize the democrats for paving required the adoption of the Sul- zer resolution. They had endeavored, they said. to have the resolution amended. When that effort failed, they voted for it in it's original terms. The resolution was carried 30 to l. the only negative vote being cast by Representative Malby cf New York, a republican.
 The democrats were willing to de- rend their action and Chairman Sul ger issued a statement in which he declared that everything recited in the resolution was true and that the Russian ambassador would not attempt fra ,lcuV if
