PENSION BUREAU BILL PASSED.
Former Speaker Cannon Wins Fight
In House.

Washington, Aug. 3.-With all of
his old-time fire and vigor former
Speaker Cannon yesterday over-turn-
ed a Democratic majority and forced
the retention in the sundry civil APP
preparation bill of a Senate amend
ment approprating 100000 for ad-
ditional employees in the pension bu.
reau. Mr. Cannon won his fight de-
spite the opposition of Representative
Fitzgerald of the appropriation com
mittee, who begged his followers to
stand by the committee recommen-
dations and disagree to all the Sen
ate amendments.
Mr.. Cannon fought for the reten-
ton of two other Senate amendments
but was defeated. These were the
provisions appropriating S225,000 for
the continuation of the tariff board,
disagreed to by vote of las to 109,
and the increase of the fund.- for the
enforcement of the antitrust law
from 5000 900 to 100000, lost 148 to
SO. All the other Senate amendments
were rejected and the bill was sent
to conference with Representatives
Fitzgerald of New York, Sherry of
Kentucky, and Cannon of Illinois as
managers for the House
The fight began when Mr.. Cannon
charged the Democrats with bad faith
in passing the Sherwood dollar
day" pension bill, and then failing
to provide, clerical forces sufficient
TO care for the vast amount of new
claims that had arisen under the new
general law. He tainted the oppo-
sition with the declaration that they
never had seriously contemplated car
ing for the old soldier but had
planned from the outset to put
through the Sherwood bill for polit-
ical effect solely He was supported
by Minority Leader Mann.
Chairman Fitzgerald retorted that
the addition of the 100000 was a po-
litical trick and that the clerical
force" would be found in the coming
presidential campaign on the hastings
ito perpetuate the Republican ad-
ministration and keep that party in
power He begged Democrats not
to fall into such trap and promised
that if investigation disclosed the
need of a greater force in the pension
bureau, the House would supply it.
In spite of Mr.. Fitzgerald's plead
ings, however, 65 Democrats swung
over to the Republican side and the
amendment was accepted les to So

INVESTIGATES GRAFT REPORT.
Philadelphia Director of Safety Looks
Into Charges.

Philadelphia, Aug. 3.-Whether or
not the charges made by Edward Fra
zier, the alleged burglar under arrest
at Atlantic City, that members OF the
Philadelphia police force have aided
burglars in getting rid of hundreds OF
thousands of dollars worth of stolen
goods are sustained, the bare making
of such charges already is having the
effect of unearthing a scandal in the
local police department.
Director of Public Safety George d.
Porter is spending most of his time
making denials to the public, while
the balance of it has been occupied
in receiving the reports of numerous
detectives he assigned several days
ago to investigate the graft
charges Director Porter denies that
a relative of a member of the local
detective bureau acted as a fence
for the Atlantic City burglars.
The most savory bit of information
cleaned by the investigating detec-
tives is that former prominent Off
cial connected with the local police
department went hand in hand. with
the gamblers of the city.
While no evidence has been adduc-
ed as yet that this former police Of
fetal actually collected protection
money direct from the gamblers re-
ports have been made to Director
Porter that this same Official used a
rather unique method of getting his %

gamblers to continue their handbooks
so long as they took his bets, paid

win. By this system the police of

arrests will be made.
The stolen goods include lumber,

and even horses, which were resold
to the city.

WHY CHINA ISN'T RECOGNIZED.
Republic Must First Show Us II is
Firmly Established.

Washington. Aug. 3.-Reasons for
the Withholding of recognition of the
Chinese Republic were discussed by
Secretary Knox and Representative
Sulzer today. Following this confer
ernce 1t was made clear at the De
partment that the Chinese Republic
will not be recognized by the United
States government until the new
government has demonstrated that IL
is established on a sound basis and
competent to fulfill all the obligations
of a sovereign Power.
Inasmuch as the United States has
been from the first most insistent in
urging policy of concerted action by
all the Powers toward China since
her troubles began a year ago Il was
pointed out that this government nat
urally will act in harmony with the
other nations in granting recognition
to the new republic.
