PORK BARREL
SPRINGS LEAK
Public Buildings Act May Be
Invaidated Through Er-
rors of Enrolment.
MANN SOUNDS THE ALARM
Republican Leader Teni6es Congress-
men BY Suggesting that Villages
May Not Get Palaces.
MANN SOUNDS THE ALARM

Republican Leader James R. Mann. Of
Illinois, has discovered what he believes
to be a flaw in the public buildings act.
II Mr.. Mann's contention is correct the
Federal Treasury may be saved more
than $4o000.00O.
Mr.. Mann, in his expose of the alleged
mistake Of the last Congress in the mat
ter Of the pork-barrel bill, attempts to
show by a parliamentary review of the
course of the measure that in the twi-
light zone of conferences the House
failed to agree to certain Senate amend
ments, and the bill Is really open to at
tack on the ground that 1t was never
properly passed. The number of Senate
amendments to which the House did not
agree. according to Mr.. Mann. was 262.
Mr.. Mann says in conclusion: Il do
not criticise the House employees who
enrolled the bill. In the pressure Of busi-
ness this bill probably was enrolled In
advance In the expectation that the con-
ference report would be completed and
agreed to by both Houses. The House
clerks in charge OF the matter were
worked beyond endurance. There were
not a sufficient number OF them to give
the proper attention to the matter. But
whatever may be the other facts. the
omnibus public buildings ibill did not
finally pass the two Houses and should
not nave been sent TO the PRESIDENT Ior
his signature"
While Mr.. Mann is generally recog-
nized as one OF the parliamentary
'sharps" OF the House. great doubt was
expressed last night as to the accuracy
OF the view that the clerical oversights
in enrolment would invalidate the act.
In any event, 1t is understood that the
Supervising Architect OF the Treasury
Department will go ahead with the work
OF preparing preliminary plans FOR the
new buildings as rapidly as the limited
force at his command will permit
Errors in enrolment are not infrequent,
but ordinarily they are not regarded OF
great importance. unless they appear in
the measure as approved by the Presi-
dent.
In the case of the public buildings act.
Congressman are quite satisfied with the
test Of the measure.

Chinese MINISTER
THANKS UNCLE sam
Presidents Stand with Regard to Six.
power Loan Pleases New
Republic.
SECRETARY ADEE RECEIVES CALL

The thanks of the government of China
for President Wilson's stand with re-
gard to the six-power loan and his ex-
pressions of friendship for China were
conveyed to the United States govern
Chinese Minister in Washington. who
called at the State Department.
Acting Secretary OF State Adee. who
received the Chinese Minister. declined
to discuss the visit other than to say
that Mr.. Chang expressed appreciation
upon the part OF his government for the
Presidents recent,statement on Chinese
relations. Asked as to how the Chinese
Minister knew OF the new policy OF the
United States, Secretary Adee agreed
that he probably read of 1t in the paper.
Secretary Adee said that he presumed
that Mr.. Byran would. on his return to
Washington. take up the question OF
notifying the other governments with
which the United States has been in
negotiation with regard to China OF the
new policy of this government. The gov
ernments of the siX-power group. and
not even China herself. have yet been
officially notified of the fact that the
position of the United States in Chinese
affairs mas changed since March 3.
1t is expected also upon Mr.. Bryan's
return that Minister Chang will call
again at the State Department to dis
cuss with the Secreary the new position
OF the United States government. Rep
resentatives of other governments have
been informed that there is nothing to
be said at the State Department until
Mr.. Bryan's return on Thursday next.
The reason is that no one now at the
department knows exactly what Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan have
in mind to do with regard to China. Con-
sequently, beyond expressing the thanks
of his government. the Chinese Minister
yesterday was unable to enter into any
discussion Of the new situation created
by President Wilson's statement to the
press. It is understood that the Chinese
government Is especially anxious TO as
certain what practical form the Presi-
dent intends to give his declaration Of
policy in which he withdrew the United
States from the loan project.
No less interested in Mr.. Bryan's re-
turn are the representatives OF the other
FIVE governments of the six-power group.
They want to know from an authorita-
tive source just what the position of the
United States is to be. Thus far. in re-
sponse to inquiries from their govern
ments. they have been unable to do
more than cable the statement of Presi-
dent Wilson published in the newspapers
last week.

DENIED bob WOOLEY
Assistant Secretaryship, 1t Is Said, will
Not Go to Newspaper
Man.
HE WROTE MAGAZINE PIECES

New York. March 3.-The Sun tonor-
row will print the following dispatch
from Washington:
His fearless magazine writing. dealing
with Washington big bankers and real
estate men and Senators and Represen-
tatiTes in Congress, is responsible fol-
Robert F. Wooley failing to land the jon
as an assistant Secretary OF the Treas
ury. This opposition. II developed today,
has become so strong in the Senate that
notice has been served on President
Wilson and Secretary OF the Treasury
McAdoo that they will have to find an
other man il they hope to have the
nomination confirmed.
According to gossip that arose follow
ing this disclosure, It would not be sur.
prising If Congressional investigation
would not be proposed by friends OF
Wooley for the purpose OF confirming the
sensational charges he made in a series
OF magazine articles In the fall OF 1903
alleging that group OF leading bankers
and real estate owners IN Washington
had monopoly on the real estate busi-
ness of the National Capital and had
held up the government on sales Of
grounds for public parks and buildings.
These articles have been laid before
President Wilson. While the President
policies are strongly against such prac-
tees as were alleged by MIR. wooley, II
is understood that he has realized the
hopelessness of obtaining at the hands
OF the Senate a confirmation OF his
nomination as an assistant secretary.
Both the President and Secretary Nc
Adoo made II plain. however, that they
will not drop the magazine writer and
hold that his services in connection with
the Democratic National Committee dur
ing the recent campaign entities him to
good office. Accordingly. will prob
ably draw some other office in the
Treasury Department approximately as
good financially as that OF an assistant
secretary. which pays $500 a year"
