President Sharply Criticized for A.
tempting to cosros Congress.
Washington, May S.-President Tai
was sharply criticized in the senate
yesterday by Senator Cummins. who
charged him with attempting to coerce
congress in tariff legislation.
Mr.. Cumlnins, speaking in support o.
his metal tariff revision bill, said he
understood the president was opposed
to any legislation on the metal sched-
ule until the board reported upon 1t.
Il deplore the action of president
in interfering in any way with the
work of congress-" he declared.
Il have heard great deal lately
about the recall Of rhe judiciary and OF
pose, but l regard these as incense
quental in comparison with the en-
croachments Of the executive branches
Of the government within the last few
years"
Senator Cummins declared he be-
lieved it as improper for president to
attempt to unduly influence congress
as for him to undertake by his power
to influence the judiciary in perform
ance Of duty.
Altho Mr.. Cummins spoke directly to
his republican colleagues that side OF
the chamber was not filled while he
was speaking. AT one point he engaged
in sharp colloquy with Senator
Oliver.
Mr.. Cummins declared that the
Payne Aldrich law had failed to meet
the demands Of the people and warned
his colleagues of the results Of the
coming election if congress We're ad-
journed without that law being al
tered.
We have won on this issue many
times" he said, but we can not win
again If the duties are higher than
necessary to maintain our industries
and protect our workingmen."

COMMENDS ACTION
Of COMMISSIONERS
Neutrality-suspicious.
J. A. Brown Praises Drop

Not Need Money.

The Commissioners received today from

action In reducing the pensions OF sew
eral members Of the Police and Fire
Departments. Following consideration
of the report of the Board of Police and
Fire Surgeons, which recently concluded
medical examination Of the pen
sioners, the Commissioners ordered re-
ductions In sixteen instances.
The statement is made by the board
that those affected are in good financial
circumstances and not dependent upon
the pension fund.
II am glad to know that the axe Is
being laid at the root of the principal
cause OF the deficiency" writes Mr..
Brown. THE public is in sympathy
with the purpose of the pension fund
benefit of widows and orphans, and the
sged and infirm who have no other
source of income. but with the knowl-
edge Of the fact that a considerable
number of cases amount to simple
gratuityto persons who hold Govern
ment positions paying good salaries, or
who have ample means, 1t Is small
wonder tnat the campaign for increas-
ed revenues or an appropriation By
Congress aroused little sympathy In
that body or elsewhere.
1T is not just to the men in active
service that they should be assessed to

will be confirmed by the Senate before
the end Of the session.
While the nominations were referred
to a subcommittee at a recent meeting
of the Senate Committee on Military
Affairs, the gossip about the corridors
today was that this would probably not
mean a protracted hold up of the con-
firmatons.
Senator Bristow Is one Of the Senators
who is not friendly to confirmation. He
is a champion Of General Funston, and.
like all friends of that able commander,
does not like the way he Is constantly
passed over for the purpose of showing
favor to officers whose capacity Is less
well proven than his own. But II is not
believed Senator Bristow will stand out
indefinitely.
Just how far the Senate Democrats
will carry their political opposition to
General Edwards is not entirely clear.
