the guests have given the hotels by
putting up with admittedly poor serv-

open threats of getting square" are
being made. Private detectives have
reported to some of the hotel proprie-

WASHINGTON, June 3-Omitting
any appropriation for the tariff board,
but allowing $4,000 for the presi-
dents travelling expenses and $751;
600 for the presidents economy and
efficiency committee, the sundry civil
appropriatiin bill, carrying a govern
ment budget Of s109,577,414, was re-
ported today to the house. It's con-
sideration will he begun tomorrow.
The bill, the largest omnibus appro-
priation bill for miscellaneous federal
expenses, slashes requests of federal
heads for money by $42,400,000. 1t is
also s33 100000 less than that OF last
year.
1t was expected that the committee
would cut out the $4,000 for the
presidents travelling expenses, reten-
tion of the item being the biggest sur
prise of the entire bill. An appropria-
tion of $4,000 for an oil portrait Of
President Taft is another surprise.
Among the principal appropriations
are s2S,7s0,000 for construction work
at the Panama canal; a reduction
| s16,7S0, 900; s2,S06,o0O for its fortifica-
tion. and sS,os3,ooO for continuing con-
struction Of public buildings already
authorized.
No comment is made npon the fail
ure to provide FUNDS for the tariff
board. In the legislative, executive
and judicial bill, new make-shift tar
.liff commission was substituted. The
I present tariff board will go out O
business June 80 if the bill as reported
today is passed. The reorganization
of the customs service by abolishment
OF many collection ports is recommend
ed in the bill. Adjustment of the of
fees of receiver cf public moneys a
4 land offices is also provided. Such ar
!, economy was recommended by Presi
dent Taft.

tions are: Denver, Colorado, 100000,

that added strength to the rumor that
the Roosevelt forces will bolt the ma

date in the field if the Taft people
control the convention by means which
the Roosevelt people consider unfair.

had been Disseminated against in this
way if he tamely submitted"

believed the leaders will control, and

There was plenty of evidence today
that both sides are extremely nervous
over the situation. In the Taft camp
camp the fear is seen that some of the
delegates who were instructed for

their counties In the primaries two
weeks ago declared for the colonel.
In the Roosevelt camp the one thing
that Is causing 1t uneasiness is that
every ounce of federal administration

strengthen Taft.
