CH|DED FOR NOT ACTING
ON APPROPRIATION BILLS
Senator Warren Takes Co..
leagues to Task for Delay in
Taking Up Measures.

Taking the Senate to task today for de-
laying action on the big annual appropl "a
ton bills. Chairman Warren of the Sen
ate appropriation committee paid his re-
spects to. the heads of the government
departments and to the lower house of
Congress.
The House has changed its rules, so
that it can put all kinds of legislation
on appropriation bills: We are up against
that problem in the present bills he
said
THE heads of some of the government de-
partmentS assume they own Congress, body
and soul, and want figures put into ap-
preparation bills to suit their ideas. Those
of us who have charge of these appro-
priation bills are between these fires, the
House, the Senate and the executive de-
partmentS.
Senator Warren's comment was made
when Senators Gallinger and Hepburn
objected to the immediate consideration
of the conference report on the agricul-
tural appropriation bill and asked that 1t
be printed before being acted upon.
Only Two Bills Signed.
Only two appropriation bills he said,
have received the signature of the Presi-
dent, the fertilization and the diplomatic
bills.
IF we are going on the captious idea
of Directing to considering these bills he
remarked, we might as well expect to
remain here until next autumn"
A reference to the fact that the District
of Columbia appropriation bill had not
yet been finally disposed of brought Sena-
tor Gallinger to his feet.
Not in criticism of the other house"
he said. for l do not do that, i should
like to say that after the bill had passed
the Senate with four hundred amend
ments it was not acted upon in the
House for two months.
Senator Warren replied that he knew
Senator Gallinger had been diligent in
pushing the District bill and had no in
tention of critic!sing him.

tiers that replies thus far received indicate
a general support of the former.
Secretary William Hayward of the ma
tionai committee spent part of today in
Washington. but said his visit wa en-
tirely on private business. Ormsby Nc

Coming Is in Doubt.

Whether or not Senator Lorimer will be
here Monday when his case is taken uy
in the Senate is now known. Dispatches
from Chicago indicate that he expects
to come on to Washington within a few
days. but definite word has not been re.
ceived by senator's, so far as could be
learned today.
Senator Lorimer was regular attend
ant In the Senate when the speeches were
made in the Senate on his case at a

gram to Senators Kern and Lea indicates
that he desires to be here this time when
his case is under consideration. They have
asked him to name a definite time VIII II
he will be in Washington. but no word
has come from him as yet
There still is some expectation that Sen
ator Lorimer will resign before the case
comes to a final vote in the Senate. Some
of his friends, who see an adverse vote
in prospect, have urged him to present his
resignation, and 1t is understood that a
final definite answer has not been made.
Placed in Jeopardy.
Some of his stanchest defenders, it lis
understood he has been told. have put
their political lives in jeopardy in de-
tending him. Out of consideration for
their friendship. Mr.. Lorimer has .been
urged to retire voluntarily.
About a dozen speeches, some of them
Of considerable length, are expected to be
made in the Senate on the Lorimer case.
Senator Kern, as a member of the. in
vestigating committee. will talk for sew
eral hours, attacking the validity of
Mr. Lorimer's title to his toga, and both
