OBJECTS TO APPROPRIATED

At the elimination of his attacks
upon the District of Columbia appro-
priation bill in the House of Represent
atives today, Representative johnson
order against the entire appropria ton
for the police and health departments,
claiming that there is no authority in
the law for the maintenance of these
departments on the half and half plan
Mr.. Johnson argued that by the sundry
civil act. passed nine days after the ap-
prevail of the organic act of the District
of Columbia. the cost of the police force
and the health department is placed solely
upon the District of Columbia. and tina,
any attempt to support them on the plan
of onehalf by the United States and one
half by the revenues of the District is
outside the law.
The attack was made so swiftly and
with such verbal sharpness Hat Repre-
sentative Burleson of Texas, chairman of
the committee which has the District bill
in charge, could not make n reply at the
time. and asked that Mr.. Johnson furnish
him with the law in the case, and the
items were passed over temporarily. but
will be considered on the floor of the
House later, perhaps today. The police
force item in the bill approprates 1881 249

PENALTIES URGED BY TAFT
Recommends Changes in the
Law Applying to Shippers
ManifeStS.

The President this afternoon transmit
ted to Congress a message recommending
amendments to the law relating to the
preparation OF shippers manifests so as
to secure accurate figures of the export
trade of the United States.
The President recommends that for any
omission from or incorrect description of
the merchandise in any manifest,
whether originating in the interior or at
the port of expectation. as to kind. guam
tity or value. the owner. shipper. or con-
signor. or agent of either, should be made
liable to a fine of so. unless it he shown
that such omission was due to mere
clerical error.
If 1t be shown that the incorrect state
ment has been willfully or fraudulently
made. the person responsible therefor
should be deemed guilty of a INSIDE
meanor. and rendered liable to fine or
imprisonment in his opinion.
The President also recommends other
penalties for failure to carry out the
provisions Of the law or to disclose any
information described in any manifest.
He concludes by saying:
1T is believed that d measure embody-
ing these suggestions into law would
fully meet the objections now offered to
the proposition that interior shippers
shall supply manifests of the goods for
warded for expectation. The chief OBJ
lection has been that information re-
garding their business might be disclosed
by employees of the common carriers
transporting the merchandise and receiv-
ing statements as to its character, val
uation, destination and the consignee.
THE plan. If carried into effect, would
it is believed, protect the original eX-
porter against disclosure of his business,
give to the CUSTOMS officers at the port
of expectation sufficient information to
enable him to properly describe and value
the merchandise. and also assume much
greater accuracy as to the true value
of the merchandise being exported

brought out his old argument that it is
wrong for taxpayers all oyer the coun-
try to pay for the school hooks of the
many rich people in Washington"
REPRESENTATIVE Murray of Massachusetts
asked him IL il would work III practice.
and received an affirmative answer. MIR.
Johnson referred to the law for distribut-
ing free text books here as ''horribly dis
eliminating He said other localities
had provisions to get text books free. but
that parents had to swear that they are
not able to buy them
Representative. Murray of Massach,-
setts, where text books are free all over
the state, raped the Johnson amend
ment.
Mr. Fowler assuming that children are
not allowed to take their public text books
home without the teachers permission.
said that the system is detrimental on
that supposed account. He also said he
could prove his POINT by the small per-
centage of children promoted in the pub
lie schools this month.
Representative Murray, asSailed by
many members of the House, backed up
against a desk and talked about the edu-
cational system in Massachusetts.
Representative Farr of Pennsylvania
characterized the amendment as one that
would mean a long step backward.

that the expense of the police force by

Mr. Burleson asked to be enlightened

the present
