ORDER DELAY IN
CUSTOMS CHANGE

Washington, D. c., June 5.-Secre-
tary McAdoo has recommended to con-
gress postponement of the customs re.
organization plan until Jan. l, 1914,
because of objections against 1t and
because he believes it contains imper-
fections. The secretary, however, ap-
proves the principle of reorganization.
Practically every customs port in the
United States is affected by this de-
cision.
In suggesting postponement, McAdoo
recommends that congress amend the
law so that the plan of reorganization
must result in a saving of 100000,
based upon expenses of the customs
service for the current year. The
president, secretary of the treasury
and congress have been bomDarded
with protests against the reorganiza-
ton. which revolutionizes the customs
service and reduces the number of dis.
tricts and collectors of customs from
156 to 40.
Acting upon the recommendation OF
McAdoo, the senate commerce com.
mittee voted in favor of the bill to
defer until Jan. l, 1914, the proposed
reorgapizing of the customs service.
Secretary McAdoo's eleanout of re-
publican customs officials at San Fran
cisco is taken as a forerunner of other
sweeping changes in the reorganiza-
ton plan to be worked out at one
port at time.

FORMAL TENDER

Judge Ramsay Orders Mayor to
Permit Reopening of Two
Saloon Properties.
MATTER PUT IN NEW LIGHT
Decision Contrary to That in Similar
Gases Made by Other Circuit
Judges.

Judge F. D. Ramsay has decided a
mandamus case involving two saloon
properties which have been closed Tor
over a year because of refusal of the
mayor to renew licenses, against the
city. The properties are those on the
Northeast corner of Fourth avenue
and Seventeenth street and the same
corner at Third avenue and Twenty
first street. Both are leased by Ben
Taxman. Mayor Schriver said today
the licenses would not be issued till
he had a chance to confer with City
Attorney Witter, who is out of town.
There is no disposition to fight the
case further, however.
Judge Ramsay's decision, which
was made public today, reverses rul.
ings made recently in similar case.
by both Judges Graves and Olmsted.
VIOLATED REGULATIONS.
The mayor closed the saloons on
account of repeated violations of the
regulations, following a course as he
believed, that had heretofore been
sustained by the courts. Mandamus
proceedings were begun and the two
cases were made one issue and argued
before Judge Ramsey by ]. F. Witter
city attorney, and William McEniry
representing the lessee. The city's
position was that, the properties hav
ing been closed as saloons Nor q
period of seven months they were tC
be considered as abandoned and
could not be relicensed until the con
sent of adjacent property owners had
teen secured.
This position was opposed on the
ground that the tender Of the license
fee TO the city clerk within the seven
months kept the rights as a saloon
from lapsing. The latter view was
that taken by the court.

CONFESSION DAY
ON CAPITOL HILL
House Members SquabbIe
Over Vacations and Tell How

Representative Jerry Donovan Of

Of Illinois of talking through his hat"
in slap-bang debate on a sort of ring
around-the-rosy subject in the House yes

including a fling at Mr.. nonovan's gram

Of attacking new members, and Mr.
Mann accused Mr.. Donovan of being ig-
norant on every subject he had spoken
on.
This was but Ollie view in the rapidly
moving scenario which was presented in
the House yesterday, the general impress
sion received by an onlooker in the gal
lery being that 1t was confession day on
Capitol HILL as half q dozen members.

QUESTIONS to Congress, had been in Con-
greSs constantly for varying periods of
claiming any intention to mend political
| fences while in the rural districts.
When the Fur Flew.
The fur began to fly after Representa-
tive Raker of California who told how
long and arduously he had worked here,
wanted permission to go home for a few
days. Representative Mann, who usually
blocks these requests, merely expressed
the hope that such requests would not
become contagious, and sat down.
Whereupon up rose Representative
Jerry Donovan, with his hands in his
pockets, and said in tones tinctured with
surprise that he could not see how the
distinguished minority leader could ac-
QuieSce in the breaking of the law by
m1mhorG "a Mr n
is the man who started all the fuss about
the abSenteeiSm of Representative Hob
son of Alabama. He said the House had
no right to excuse members for anything
but Illness

the House frequently with amusement,
but never with information" retorted
Mr.. Mann when he had chance. There
is no such law. The gentleman knows
about as much on that subject as any
other And / want to call attention to
the fact that he sat still and acquiesced
in this leave of absence, when he

Then he accused Mr.. Mann of jumping
on new members fresh from the husk-

The doughty republican leader leaped
to reply.

Donovan.
That's the baby act.'' yelled Mann.
II withdraw it, said Donovan.
Then Mr. Mann quoted from the sayings
of Mr.. Donovan. I'm referring to me, the
gentleman from Connecticut says 1t is un-
fortunate for he His facts and his
grammar are alike"
That ended the squabbie, but the House
fell to talking about its own vices and
virtues in a regular old-time experience
meeting. Representatives Raker, Brum-
baugh and Gambler were excused for a
short time, but Representative Metz. run
