SENATORS SQU|RM
OVER RUM0R
OF Job
OvERMAN AND Chiffon DENY
THEY ARE PROMOTING
STOCK SALES.

Washington, June 15.-The way was
opened in the senate today for an in
vestigation of the use of senate sta
tionery and the alleged employment of
government officials in connection
with the alleged employment of gov
ernment officials in connection with
the promotion of a North Carolina
gold NINE Senator Overman, one of
those mentioned in connection with the
mine, introduced a resolution calling
for such an inquiry and it was in
dorsed by Senator Chiffon, another
senator whose name figured in the
same way.
The resolution was referred without
debate to the committee on contingent
expenses and probably will be reported
for action within a few days. There is
little doubt that it will be agreed to
without opposition.
The call for an investigation came
as result of a report published today
declaring that there had appeared in
the offices of New York brokers let
ters boosting the mine of the Gold
Hill Consolidated company. written on
stationery of the senate committee on
rules Of which Mr.. Overman is chair
man, and of the committee on census,
of which Mr.. Chiffon is chairman.
The letter on the census committee
stationery was addressed to Senator
Chiffon and signed by J4 c. Williams,
an economic and mining engineer. The
other letter was said to be Identical.
Senators Overman and Chiffon both
said they were interested in the Gold
Hill company, but denied any knowl-
edge of any use of the senate station
cry to boost it. Senator Overman said
young woman in his office had made
copies of the letter on rules commit
tee paper at the request of Walter
George Newman, said to be promoter
of the mine, and Senator Chiffon sait
that Williams, the engineer, came tt
his office and got his clerk to make
copies on census committee paper.

Washington, June 15.-It has been
revealed that the Washington govern
ment suggested, through it's repre-
sentatives at Niagara Falls the names
of several men for provisional presi-
dent of Mexico who would be accept
able to the revolutionary forces of the
republic. Among these was Pedro
Lascurain, who was a member of the
Madero cabinet. The representatives
of General Huerta at the peace con-
ference have not accepted thus far
any of these men and have proposed
in turn men who have not been iden-
titled with the constitutionalist move
ment. These names have not been
acceptable to the United States as far
as can be learned in Washington.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Str! In

interests OF the people u the United States.
our country Is suffering from the war.
Ii has been found necessary to levy tax
upon our people In order to supply our
Government with necessary funds which,
but for this war. would have been paid
by others than the mass Of our citizens.
\ war tax Of $4,000 900 has been inn
posed upon us and further taxes for the
like purpose may be expected unless the
war Is brought to an early close. There
fore It Is to our Interest that the war be
brought to the speediest possible end. The
more material we sell 20 tho belligerents
for taking human life the longer the war
will last. II we should abstain from sell
ing to any belligerent. no matter who
they are. ammunition and material for
taxing life, for creating widows and Or
phans, and for Increasing the misery OF
the people OF countries with whom we are
at peace, the war may be brought to an
earlier termination.
What does the principle contained in the
dlctum that II is the right OF the neutral

country must be taxed sl00.000.000 or

How Mr.. McAdoo Saves Money.

When Secretary McADoo made his
annual estimate of the amount needed
to pay the Governments expenses for
l915.16, the total was stated at 81, 090.-
100000. a reduction Of S1SO00.OO from
the estimates for the current year
Upon the strength Of this apparent de-
crease considerable Democratic self
congratulation was INDUCED IN. and
the Administrations activities In behalf
of economy drew praise from all sides.
But when the Legislative. Executive
and judicial bill was reported to the
sachusetts, the ranking Republican on
the Appropriations Committee, called
attention 10 the manner In which this
apparent reduction was obtained, and
the fact that It Is wholly theoretical:

for the postal service under existing laws

on which the estimates should be figured,
that should be s23.ooo,o 900 larger. and the
apparent reduction OF 3is.o00,0oo over

sum any Administration has ever asked
any Congress to appropriate"
Mr.. GrLLErr was interrupted nj this
point by Representative STAFFORD Of

tain members Of the Congress are eager
to prohibit the expectation of arms,
munitions, even general supplies, food

To any American. and especially
to any Democrat, the word 'embargo
must have melancholy sound. IT re-
calls period of military weakness aud
of ruinous economics on the part of the
United States, shuttlecock between
France and Great Britain. The Demo
cratic party, AT first Republican of
name, was mainly composed Of farmers,
jealous and ignorant of commerce. JEr-
PERSONS own early ideal, which per
haps he never got entirely over, while
admitting its impOssibility, was tina;
the States should practise neither
commerce nor navigation" by the ia
nous or infamous embargo act of 1907
and its supplement of lSOS he succeeded
unintentionally in making his theory

these supposed reprisals were taken were
not injured or were but slightly injured,
Our exports fell from SllO0OO,O0O odd
in 1907 to S220O0,OOO in 1905 The
merchant class of the Northern seaports
and East were ruined. New England
was driven To the edge of secession.
Unemployment was the rule. The
farming interest felt the cessation OF
demand for their products. NAPOLEON
was tlckled, Meanwhile the navy had
been neglected
We need not follow the vain substi.
tutes and notifications, the nonlntcr-
course act or the suspension and reyivi-
ticatlon of n restrictive policy. At last
the country determined on a war that
should have been undertaken long be
fore and for which not Great Britain
alone had given more than ample cause.
President MADISON was driven into 1t,
and we know the rest. though we may
have forgotten that another embargo
act was slapped on in 1913 and re-
pealcd In 1914.
The purpose Of this prohibition, par.
