The article and its assertions that men
high In the councils of Tammany Hall''
had been receiving money from the
gambling combine led to the appointment
of committee of five. of which Lewis
Nixon was chairman, to investigate the
truth of the charges. In his official re-
port Mr.. Nixon said:
There is an organization of men,
known the combine. that is organized
for systematic blackmail. and they cloak
their workings by pretending to be pay
ing Tammany Hall the money they col
lect for the protection they are supposed
to furnish in it's name.

certain men who acted in defiance OF the

Senator Roots Speech.

Senator Root said:
Mr.. President The committee Of noti-
fication here present has the honor 10
advise yoI formally that on the I'D day
of June last You were regularly and duly
nominated by the national convention ot
the republican party to be the republican
candidate for President for the term be-
ginning March I. 1919.
For the second time j.. the history oe
the republican party part Of the dele
gates have refused to be bound bS ths
action of the convention Now. as on the
former occasion. the irreconcilable minor
ity declares its intention TO support either
your democratic opponent or a third can
didate. The reason assigned for this
course is dissatisfaction with the deci-
sion of certain contests In the making up
of the temporary roll of the convention.
Those contests We're decided by the tri-
bunai upon which the law that has gov
erned the republican party for moro
than forty years imposed the duty OF de-
Gliding such contests. So long as those
decisions were made honestly and in good
faith all persons were bound TO accept
them as conclusive in the making up oe
the temporary roll of the convention, and
neither in the facts and arguments pro-
duced before the national committee the
committee on credentials and the conyen-
ton itself. nor otherwise. does there ap-
pear just ground for impeachng the hon
esty and good faith OF the committees
decisions Both the making up OF the
temporary roll and the rights accorded
TO the persons upon that roll. whose
seats were contested. We're in accordance
with the long established and unques-
toned rules Of law governing the party
and founded upon justice and commons
sense. Your title to the nomination 10
as clear and unimpea chable the title
of any candidate Of any party since po.
litical conventions began.

Government Expenses.

The expenses of the federal govern
ment reach total of nearly 80, 100000 a
day All appropriations expired by law
June 30. and an emergency resolution
was passed July 1, continuing them for
a month. The second resolution offered
today will authorize enough additional
expenditure to carry along all existing
work of the government and to pay pen
SionS.
Congress is being pressed for action on
the appropriation bills by the officers
of many departments. 1t is claimed that
the emergency method of appropriating
funds, has brought a stop to work of
expansion that had been planned by the
Post Office, Agricultural and other de-
partmentS.
The funds made available now are based
on the conditions of last June. instead of
on the estimates and plans that had been
made for August.

Confirm Parts of Story.

Mr.. Whitman says he has obtained
some important testimony confirming
parts of the story of Rose and Webber
that they met Lieut.. Becker by appoint
ment after the murder. Two restaurant
employees. according to the district at
torney. have given the information that
they saw Becker talking with Rose and
Webber on 42d street after the killing
District Attorney Whitman, who has
been advised by several supreme court
justices to go slow, sad today:
Il am confident that the whole truth
will come out. 1t may appear a little
slowly. but | am not going to rush the
case. The court Of appeals has held that
there must be some cOrrobOration of the
testimony of accomplices. The establish
ment of a motive Is corrobora ton. There
is no doubt in my mind that the motive
has been established.
The intimate relations between Becker
and Rosenthal, their quarrel. the fear of
Rosenthal of Becker. the accusations
against Becker. the killing itself the
meeting of Becker and Rose after the
killing. all point to one thing"
The grand jury probably will not re-
sumo its investigation into the case until
the district attorney has more needed
testimony in hand. Whitman is nvest-
eating stories that Becker is worth nearly
a million dollars
