Washington. He wrote in part.
Since ] was quite a youngster
have been deeply Interested in our
method of financial legislation. One
of the objects I shall have most in
mind when / get to Washington will
be conferences with my Legislative col

some budget system into existence.
This business of building up the
expenses of the nation, piece by piece,
will certainly lead us to error and per

TITLE TO LANDS IN
DISTRICT ARE DISPUTED.
Washington, d. c., March 1S-Con-
flict has arisen between the federal
government and the local government
of the District of Columbia over title
to land on which now stand many
public buildings. An investigation
now under way by the district gov
ernment to determine the titles to
property has resulted in the discovery
that many local government buildings
are on ground owned by the federal
government while in numerous cases
the reverse is the case. When the in
vestigation is completed the land
probably will be appraised by joint
commission and the transfers made
on sale basis.
The inquiry is an exhaustive one
and in some cases the investigators
have gone as far back as 1857 in
their search. One interesting feature
developed was the fact that some of
the lands for school purposes were ac-
quired through lottery schemes while
others were snapped up at public auc-
tion sales.

that he, came more as a private cltl-

than as an official of the federal gov

no choice for either long or the short

Only in the most general terms did
Secretary Bryan refer to the, complex

only as illustration of citizenship
duties. am not here to tell you what
you ought to do" he said. Il decline
to tell, even if | am asked, for two
reasons In the first place, the re-
sponsibility is not upon men, it is up
on you. In the second place your
knowledge must be more complete
than mine. One from the outside
must rely on those who communicate
to him and if their communication is
for any reason in complete or inaccu-
rate, he then is not well informed
Concerning President Wilson's at

and in his own right and that tht
state had no interest therein, but that
they were paid to the said Brian B
Dunno without any service being rem
dered therefore. 1t would appear
that the report must have been very
hastily prepared as its wording would
seem to indicate that had said some
thing about money being paid to you
and about your having not rendered
any service. The committee must
ments of it's own motion as in my let.
ter to the committee, dated February
81. 1913, you were not mentioned in
any way whatever. My letter, after
stating the substance of the statutory
provisions as to the territorial oil in
spector, concludes as follows:
There is no requirement anywhere
in the act that the territorial inspec-
tor is to pay over any Of the moneys
received, whether by him directly or
from his deputies, but the deputies
are to send to him all moneys receiv-
ed by them for inspections. No pro-
vision is made for any salary to any
and it seems clear that the
fees were intended to con-
stitute the compensation for all the
work performed.
'The nature of the Office is the same
as that of any other territorial office,
and any matter pertaining to that Of
fee must be proper subject of inves.
tigation by the Legislature.
'As to whether the funds collected
by the coal oil inspector are public
funds or not, ! am compelled to say
that they must be regarded as the
property of the coal oil in
spector, the only provision of the stat
ute with regard to them, as hereinbe-
lore indicated, being that the inspec-
ors shall receive them. I am unable
% see how they can be considered as
public money any more than are the
ees collected by notary public for
services performed by him. or by any !
,ther officer whose compensation is
,y fees alone. without any require |
nent that they be paid over to the |
public treasury"

OF China TO

LOAN WHICH SIX POWERS ARE
TRYING TO NEGOTIATE WILL NOT
Be PERMITTED TO FIGURE IS
GENERAL BELIEF.
Definite news
EXPECTED SOON

Washington d. c., March lS.-
President Wilson and the CABINET
worked two hours today over a state
ment defining the attitude of the
United States toward the Chinese six
power loan. 1t was to have been made
public this afternoon, but just before
the meeting broke up, it was announc-
ed that the statement would not pc
given out before late today or prob
ably tomorrow.
A few days ago. it was pointed out
that the new administration did not
intend to couple the recognition OF
the new Chinese republic with the
question of the loan in any way that
might be construed as an effort on
the part of the United States to
force favor for American bankers.
There is no reason to believe that
this attitude has been changed and
some officials look for something defl-
mite along that line in the statement
if one finally is issued delegation
of bankers who visited the state de-
partment last week received intlma-
tions to that effect.
FRANCE WANTS BIG LOAN.
Paris, March TS.-The government
today asked parliament to authorize
a loan of $46,o00,000. OF this sum
$4,000, 900 is to be devoted to public
works.
Washington, d. c., March lS.--lt
became known today that Yam Shi kal,
Provisional president of China, has
been in communication with President
Wilson regarding the proposed Chln'
csc loan. At least two conferences
have been held by President Wilson,
Secretary Bryan and Chang Yin Tang,
the Chinese minister, at which recog-
milton of the republic and the biz loan
were discussed.
The American bankers who We're to
have participated in the $3.50, 100000
lean were J. P. Morgan e Co., Kuhn
Loeb & Co., the First National Bank
and the National City Rank of New
York.
A statement issued by them septem-
her "a, 1912, declared the loan had
been made impossible by China's re-
fusal to guarantee certain safeguards.
The bankers were not willing, the
statement said, "to undertake loan
v hich would so largely increase the
debt of China without insisting upon
the Inauguration of reforms which
ould enable China to sustain it,"
There was some intimation today of
American banking houses other than
those concerned in the first negotia-
tions, being prepared to take part in
the loan should 1t be revived.
