DEFENCE OF THE BIRD CAGE
It's Producer Declares There Is Moth.
ing Immoral in the Play.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: | am astonished TO perceive in the
dispatches from Providence. where THE
Bird Cage" by Austin Adams. Is being
played, under my management, a para
graph saying that parts OF the story
are such that they cannot be published"
and am moved to the conviction that the
writer OF this paragraph could not posi-
bly, have seen Mr.. Adams's play.
There is not an evil or suggestive phrase
or an evil or suggestive situation I'm THE
| bird Cage" The story is OF a girl. Madge
Trench, the daughter or a retired rear ad-
miral In our navy. She has been engaged
for long time. by the wish OF her father.
to marry a young naval lieutenant. Ran
dolph Lee by name. and has not seen
him for three years. During this period
she has met a broad minded artist con-
siderably older than herself. who talks to
her OF his views OF life and the caging
up Of women, very much as he might talk
to a younger sister. The girl begins to
listen and to read and to become con-
WINGED that there is something In wom-
ans life above and beyond getting mar
ried off merely TO suit the parental will.
She is found at the camp Of Croft. the
artist. and is accused Of wrongdoing. but
she Is entirely innocent She refuses to
go back. In spite Of every effort to induce
or compel her to do So And when 1t Is
all over the Inference Is left that Madge
will regain her liberty and after a suitable
interval will marry the artist whose
yIews of the liberty Of women first
awakened her girlish mind.
is there anything immoral in this
story? ! think not. And let me assure
you that In Its telling there is no other
note than that OF perfect purity. There Is

CLAPP COMMITTEE
WILL NOT SUBMIT
REPORT AT PRESENT
Matter of Inquiry Into Cam
paign Expenditures Will
Be Carried Over to
New Congress

Washington, March 2.-The Senate cam
paign expenditures committee will make
no report to the dying Congress upon its
exhaustive inquiry into campaign expen-
ditures of 1904 and 1905 and OF 1912. and
into the relations of John d. Archbold and
the Standard Oil company with members
of Congress and federal officers Mem
bers of the special committee have found
it impossible to agree upon report and
the matter is to the carried over to the
new Congress. It is understood that the
five members of the special committee
Senators Clapp, Pomerene, Oliver, Jones
and Paynter, have been unable to agree
on the character of the report or the ex-
tent to which the committee should go in
anAlyzing the testimony taken. Some
members of the committee will eventual
ly recommend important changes in the
laws regulating campaign expenditures.
Among the bills to be favored for pas
sage will be one recently introduced By
Senator Clapp, prohibiting the collection
of funds in one state by the national con-
gressional committees for use in eleeting
congressman of another state. It is ex-
pected the recommendation will also be
made by one or two members of the com
mittee that campaign committees COM
posed entirely of members of Congress
as the republican and democratic con.
gressional committees are now composed,
be prohibited by law.

ZOO COOK EMPLOYEES
OFF THE PAY ROLL
County Commissioners Fail
to Agree on the Annual
Budget

Chicago, March 2.-Nearly 200 Cook
county employees are off the pay roll
today and all may be without salaries
in 1913 as a result of failure last night
of the county commissioners to agree
on the annual budget. County Attor-
ney Chindblom and States Attorney
Hoyne of Cook county, agree that the
failure brings in question the entire
budget and may prevent the payment
of any salaries by the county.
The deadlock in the county commits
sion was caused by the failure of the
commission to agree on compromise
after President A. A Mccormick had
vetoed the salary appropriation for the
$50 jobs.
The budget had to be passed on the
legislative day of March l. The clock
was put back, but after an allnight
wrangle, the commissioners gave up
and adjourned a few minutes before
6 this morning.

JUDGE I. c. JONES
REGA|N|NC HEALTH
At st. Augustine, Flare
cent Attack of Pneumonia
Was Very Severe


St. Augustine, Fla. March 2.-(special)
Judge Thomas G. Jones is still at st. Au-
gIstine. regaining his strength, after the
attack of pneumonia from which he suf-
fered in January.
His physicians think he should not tre-
turn to Alabama for some weeks yet.
While out of the state Judge Jones can
not make orders, asshe is sometimes asked
to do by lawyers and others who do not
know of his absence from the state or
the cause of it.
The Age-Herald correspondent is graft
fed to learn that his improvement still
continues, and that in a few weeks ne
will be completely restored TO health.
vester company, when advised of the re-
port OF the commissioner of corporations
on the operating methods of the lnterna-
tional Harvester company tonight, issued
the following statement:
For the bureau of corporations TO make
it's report on the International Harvester
company at this time is manifestly un-
fair. 1t appears in the midst of the gov
ernment's law suit and within two days
of the beginning of the evidence OF the
company. The bureau has considered the
governments evidence. 1t refuses to wait
for the companyS evidence, WHICH VIII
disprove every charge of misconduct
which the bureau makes.
THE report rehearses old charges which
1t finds are mainly untrue. but which II
lacks the courage and candor unequivo-
cally to deny.
But even so, 1t justified the company
with respect to the fundamental mat
ters of honest capitalization, moderate
profits and fair prices. Compelled by the
proof of independent appraisements. the
report grudgingly comedies that this COM
pany, unlike many other large corpora
tions, is not over capitalized. 1t admits
that its profits have not been excessive
averaging even by the bureaus own un-
fair figures, less than sie per cent per
year.
while drawing unfavorable differences
from trivial and exceptional instances OF
misconduct by employees, the bureau fails
to draw from the important facts of fair
capitalization, reasonable prices and mod
crate profits, the conclusion that the
American farmer has been benefited
The bureau nails the old falsehood that
we sell abroad cheaper than at home
The charge was never true and their in
vestigators who raked Europe were COM
pelled to so report. But the bureau could
not resist saying that In some cases they
found lower margin of profits was
made. Low margin of profit in restricted
districts does not arise out of any reduc-
ton in prices 1t results from poor crops,
unexpectedly small sales and bad local
conditions and happens In our domestic
trade more frequently than in the foreign
That the bureau refers TO 1t at all shows
the animus of the whole report.

Seaman's Bill Altered
The Senate began the day with con-
sideration of the "seamen's bill," the
measure designed to abolish involuntary
servitude on merchant ships and to inn
provenlent of conditions of labor and liv-
ing for merchant marine sailors.
The blockade caused by the rivers and
harbors bill, which was broken in the
Senate early this morning by the adoption
of the conference report was completely
removed late in the afternoon when the
House also adopted the report and sent
the bill, carrying $47,S6SS94 on it's way to
President Taft. The army appropriation
bill. completed by the Senate at O'Clock
this morning, was signed by President
Taft early this afternoon.
Appropriation Bills Threatened
Danger still threatened several of tho
big appropriation measures tonight, ths
Indian bill, sundry civil bill and several
other measures resting in conference
committees where arguments had not yet
been reached upon disputed points.
Aside from the seamen's bill in the Sen.

upon which 1t was believed the Senate
would accept the amendment made by
the House, little actual legislation re-
manned tonight to hold the attention OF
the two bodies in the remaining hours OF
the Sixty-second Congress. Scores OF
members of the House were watching for
an opportunity to force upon the atten-
ton OF that body minor measures which
they hoped might be passed in the CLOSING
hours of the session, but practically all
general subjects of Importance had been
disposed of.
The agricultural appropriation bill
as agreed upon in conference late to-
day restores the authority for the con-
gressional distribution of seeds which
had been stricken out. The conferees
dropped from the bill the plan for a
bureau of markets under the depart
ment of agriculture and for the es-
tablishment of a national game pre-
