Would Curb Older Senator'S.

Senator jones' contends that the pres
ent system of committees makes it i'm
possible for the senators to attend to
the work Of the Senate properly. or
even to the work of all the committees
to which they are assigned. He has
pointed out that when "A number of the
committees are at work on bills or
holding hearings 1t is almost impos-
sible to keep quorum in the Senate
chamber for consideration of business
before that body. He has contended,
also, that it is impossible for a senator
to give all the attention which should
be given to the various important
measures which may come simultane-
ously before several committees of
which he Is member.
Undoubtedly, 1t. Is said, the adoption
Of the Jones plan would tend to break
up the vast influence which a coterie
Of older senators now exerts in the
Senate through membership in many
committees of Importance.

Reorganization of the working sys-
tenn of the Senate is proposed In plan
submitted to- the Senate by Senator
Jones of Washington. .
Senator Jones has introduced two
resolutions. One would limit the num-
Der Of standing committees OF the Sen
ate. dividing them into committees of
the first class and committees Of the
second class limiting the number OF
committee assignments which single
senator may have, and reducing the
size of the committees. The other reso-
luton specifies the number OF employees
which each senator and each committee
may have and fixes their salaries.
Would ReVolutionize System.
The work.-ot the. senate is largely
done in the comInittee, rooms. where

When the committee findings are re-
ported to. the Senate they are usually
accepted by that body. Any change,
therefore. In tho committee arrange
ment would have great effect upon the
working organization of the Senate.
The Jones Resolutions are before the
Senate rules committee. Senator
Jones has promised to do all IN his
power to get them considered during
the present session.
The first measure introduced by Sen
ator Jones provides for nine commit
tees of le first class and sixteen com

the Secretary Of the Treasury, ex-
planned that these supplies were pur-
chased before the beginning of the
cruise because they could not be OBJ
tanned after July in the region where
admitted that the purchases were made
for supplies for which there was no
appropriation at the time.
Controller Downey decided that the
cruise is an annual occurrence, and not
an emergency. and that Congress takes
one fiscal year the expenses OF OUTFIT
ting for the cruise. and appropFiates
accordingly. AS need of the fiscal
year in. which the purchases were made,
they are properly chargeable to the ap-
propriations for that. year.
A. contract entered into In June. 1914.
for supplies delivered in July. after the
beginning Of the new fiscal year. Con-
troller Downey excepts from this ruling
and allows the sum Of $2,066.55 to be
charged against the appropriations for
1915. He considers that the contract
deliveries in the following fiscal year
are alone to be given weight in de-
Gliding the proper appropriation to
which to charge the expenditures.
The item OF $1,124.44 and 3s3.15. also
involved, do not vary in their status
as purchases made for needs incurred
in the same fiscal year, although their
use may have been for the following
fiscal year. Controller Downey rules
that both are chargeable against 1914
appropriations.
1t is further recommended by Con-
troller Downey that Congress. in max
ing future appropriations, arrange an
allotment of the various classes Of eX-
penditures, and not vote lump sum, as
ut present.

u. S. CUTTER SERVICE
MUST ASK FOR FUNDS
Deficiency Appropriation Needed to
Pay for Supplies Bought
for Cruisers.

A deficiency appropriation Of s11,-
ls1.oS must be asked OF Congress for
the revenue cutter service, This Is
made necessary by reason Of the re-
fusal of the controller OF the Treasury,
George e. Downey, to allow expendi-
lures made in ono year for supplies
to be used in the next year and be
charged against the appropriation for
the year in which the supplies are
used. and his insistence that the law
requires that they be charged against
appropriations of the year of purchase.
Three items of disallowance made by
the. auditor for the Treasury Depart
ment are involved. The first is Si2,-
oob.O1, for purchases made In April,
May and June, this year; the second,
an item of S1.124.44. for stores bought
IN June, and a third item of SS3.15, 1916.
AS the appropriations for 1914 are ex-
hausted. no way Is open but a request
for a deficiency appropriation to meet
these expenditures. Allowance of
32,066.5o Is made, however, where de-
livery was made in the later fiscal
year. and not in the year OF contra ct
for purchase.
Most of the purchases under the first
item were of ship chandlery. engineer
and ration supplies for outfltting the
revenue cutters Cnalga, Manning, Ia
hona, Bear and McCulloch, for the an
nual cruise In the north Pacific and
Bering sea, for preservation and pro-
lection of fur seal and sea otter. All
these vessels were cruising after July

Chapter Of Tragic
Little Love Story
Is Told in Court

What may prove to be the next to
the last chapter in the tragic little
love story of Mr.. and Mrs. Alden r.
Meek. one-time Central high school
student sweethearts, was told to Presi-
dent Judge Kunkel at a special session
of desertion court to-day when Mrs.
Meek, nee Alice Shope, asked for an
order for maintenance. Some day the
last chapter may be written in divorce
court.
Meek. who was a Central high
school honor man, class of 1905, and
Miss Shope were married four years
ago and went to, Ridgway, Pa, to live.
Meek was earning $75 per month.
Failure to "get along" on that sum
as both groom and bride would have
wished had much to do with their
marital unhappiness.
Mrs. Meek accused her husband Of
cruelty, of refusing to allow her to
select her own dresses, of his rough
ness, of how he held her on his lap
and kissed and hugged her-and when
she objected he slapped her on the
floor. He told of his earnest efforts
to make her happy, of spending his
whole income upon their home and
upon her clothes. of helping her select
her gowns because she "couldnt t
choose for herself" of her thought
lesSness. Her story was largely cor
roborated by her diaries; his whole
story was practically told in n pathetic
letter to her after she had left Ridg-
way to return home. You must de-
eide. Girl" wrote Meek, whether
your husband or your family stand
first in your heart"
Judge Kunkel directed Meek to pay
$35 per month.
