Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
PHILADELPHIA Pa, Nav 1I.-After
discussing policy of explanation, criti-
clsm and debate of every paragraph of
the Underwood tariff bill in the Senate,
the republican program for the next two
months was outlined by United States
Senator BOies Penrose today
Senator Penrose fixed the date for the
passage of the tariff bill as some time
IN August. He said that every effort
would be made to focus the attention OF
the country upon the objectionable tea-
lures of the bill. There Is little chance
OF modification of any IF the radical
schedules by the republicans, he declared
The task before the republicans now
is to take advantage Of every opportunity
and opening if any should occur, in view
of the odds confronting them, and above
all II VIII be their object to focus the at
tention OF the country on the objection
able features Of the measure and to de-
pate every paragraph. so as to make a
complete record.
There is no disposition to unduly de-
lay the measure. but reasonable explana-
ton, criticism and debate on the part Of
republican senators, not to mention the
necessary participation Of the democratic
majority in the proceedings, will evidently
take two months or more

licans modifying any of the more radical
and objectionable provisions OF the bill
asked.
1T is not likely he replied, that it will
be possible for the republican minority to
secure any amendments. The democrats
are in control and they have the response
bility for the projecting OF the measure
and the passing of the same. OF course
If any opportunity offers. the republicans
will take advantage of it,
is there a possibility Of break in
the democratic vote over the sugar
schedule?" he was asked.
THE vote yesterday indicated that there
is no chance said Senator Penrose
The only senators expected to leave the
majority on this schedule are the Lou

tive Logue's provision for the admission

1T is impossible for any one to know
what the plans Of the democratic men,
bers Of the finance committee are to
be" replied the senator Their con-
ferences are shrOuded in darkest
secrecy. and no one is permitted to
penetrate the inner chambers. The
supposition is that any amendments
made will be largely OF a character
favoring certain southern industries
and that a balance will be struck by
reductions in the middle schedu:. and
In other northern manufactures.

PRESIDENTS HOME A COSTLY ONE
OVER $4,000, 900 SPENT UPON 1T

Washington, D. c., April Tax
payers of the country are hardly aware
OF the fact that since the official resi-
dence of the presidents OF the United
States was first built on the site it nov
occupies in Washington they have con-
tributed nearly $7,O0O,0O0 in real mon
ey toward its building. care, repair and
refurnishing at various times. Nor
does this large sum take into account
the added expense to the country u
nearly $1,O0O,OOO more expended at
various times for a variety of purpos-
es. In all, the White House, which in
the early years of its history was
known as the Presidents House, has
cost the country about $8,OOO,OOO, says
the Washington Star.
When the extra session of Congress
convenes it will have before it for
passage another appropriation bill for
the repair and upkeep of the White
House. Each year this same measure
becomes law, but this year, because
a new president has become the occu-
pant of the nations executive mansion
there are to be added to it other sums
which are desired because the new oc-
cupant, who has a larger family, de-
sires that more rooms be built in the
attic, which in reality is a third story.
This year the appropriation bills for
tbs White House will therefore in
clude, in addition to the yearly $4,000
an additional $33,5OO, which will 6e
used for alterations to the third story,
extraordinary repairs and refurnish-
ing, new roofs on the east and west
terraces and the construction of a
water supply for the grounds. The bill
was passed by the House but not by
the Senate.
Nearly every President who has be,
come a resident of the White House
since it was first constructed has had
it practically refurnished or has added
materially to the furnishings. This was
not because the furnishings were not
adequate, but because of the wear and
tear. Then, too, at various times in
its history the furnishings have be-
come obsolete in the view of the vari-
GUS mistresses of the White House and
this has brought about many altera-

tons in the interior decorations and
furnishings.
AS decade followed decade it is not
to be wondered at thar vast sums have
been expended upon the White House.
The n2tio.. s eyes are constantly fixed
upon it and here comes thousands of
citizens yearly making pilgrimages to
the real seat of the national govern
ment. This horde of yearly visitors
makes it imperative that certain of the
rooms be completely refurnished and
redecorated almost every year.
The first White House was far from
being a pretentious affair. Nor were
the grounds at all what they have
since become, in spite Of the fact that
a great deal of money was spent on
them from year to year. Like the res
idence itself the grounds seemed to
constantly require lot of work 70
make them proper setting for til )
house.
Visitors to the first White House Of
ten remarked upon the meagerness of
its furnishings, and did not hesitate to
place the blame upon Congress, in not
providing sufficient money with which
to supply the chief executive of a great
nation with properly built and fur
nished official residence. On the other
hand some visitors spoke frequently of
the elaborate interior of the building,
and declared it was not commensurate
with democratic principles that the
President, the public's servant, should
reside in so handsome place.
In 1914 the British visited Washing
ton and burned nearly all the govern
ment buildings, including the White
House, from which President Madison
had fed only few hours previous to
their arrival The fire did not wholly
destroy the mansion, but left it in such
state that it was deemed wise to prac-
tically reconstruct it from cellar 10
attic. Some of the walls, however,
were found to be in good condition.
and these were retained and the build
ing virtually rebuilt according to the
plans of the original structure. In
fact, the architect of the first White
House was in charge of the rebuild
ing.
