HOUSE BACKS DOWN
ON MILEAGE "GRAB"
Placed on Record, It Adopts
an Amendment Saving
100000 a Year.
REVERSES PREVIOUS VOTE
Members Also Kill Amendment
to Increase Salaries Of
Their Secretaries.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE mileage
grab" was done TO death in the house
OF It's friends to-day. BY vote Of 237
to 95 members of the House incorporated
an amendment in the legislative bill pro-
viding that hereafter Senators and Rep
resentatives shall be paid their actual
travelling expenses instead of being al
lowed 20 cents a mile as at present. Mem
bers voted in silence and did not ap-
plaud when the result was announced.
The other day on test vote In com
mittee OF the whole. which was not re-
corded. the House boisterously spurned the
amendment reported by the Appropria-
lions Committee knocking out the mile
age grab. To-day when members were
forced to go on record they reversed their
previous action and in sadness adopted
the committee amendment.
1t now costs the Government about
$1,000 n year to bring the lawmakers
from their homes and send them back
upon the completion OF their labors. They
get n fiat allowance of 20 cents mile.
II the Senate concurs in the House amend
ment saving of about 100000 a year
will be effected.
Compelled to go on record. the House
members also reversed themselves on an
other proposition in which they were vi
tally concerned. Last week they voted to
increase the salaries OF their secretaries
from $1,000 to $500 year. This also
was done in committee OF the whole
Scandal mongers have often asserted that
some members pocket a part OF the al
lowance made for secretaries.
The amendment increasing the compen-
sation OF members secretaries was car
ried in committee amid scenes of hilarity.
Iilarity was not present to-day. how
ever. when the House turned down this
particular amendment by vote OF 1877
to III. This will also save the Govern
ment something like 100000 a year.
The legislative bill was passed to-day
and now II goes to the Senate.

Mcssrs. Ring and Outerbridge
Say Ship Owners Would
Benefit.

wAsHiNGroN. April 1.-Two members
OF the New York Chamber OF Commerce
we're the star witnesses before the Senate
Interoceanic Committee to-day in favor Of
repeal of the tolls law. Welding Ring, a
member of the executive board OF the
chamber. and Eugene II. Outerbridge were
the witnesses.
Both speaking as shippers. told the
committee that the waiver OF tolls for
American coastwise shipping would not
benefit the shippers. but rather the ship
owners and the transportation rates would
be regulated by competition.
= Mr.. Ring, replying to Senator Bristow's
questions expressed the opinion that free
tolls would have very little effect on the
transcontincntal railroad rates. Mr.. Ring
opposed subsidies either for the coastwise
vessels or oversee carriers. He said that
the American merchant marine would
have to be developed by modifying the
navigation laws so as TO permit the same
wage scale and conditions OF labor that
foreign shipowners have.
The witness said that the New York
Chamber OF Commerce was on record
against free tolls by vote Of 1913 to 4.
Senator O'Gorman asked MIR. Ring " II
were not fact that the Merchants As
ISOLATION OF New York, with member
ship of 1000, had gone on record In favor
of tolls exemption. The witness admitted
that that was probably true.
When asked IL he would charge tolls
on the Erie Canal. Mississippi River and
500 Canal because the Federal Govern
ment had spent millions Of dollars and
the States had spent large sums on these
Ia t.l that pa
Canal was worldwide enterprise while
the others were domestic waterways.
Mr.. Outerbridge distinguished between
marine rates and railroad rates. He said
that steamships charged all the traffic
would bear and that the exemption Of tolls
would not figure in the making OF freight
rates He declared that the Chamber
among its members owners of such coast
wise lines as the Mallory, Old Dominion,
Clyde and Munson.
Mr.. Outerbridge told the committee
that he was apprehensive of the effect
which the Panama Canal opening would
have on railroads. lie declared that the
railroads were the greatest purchasing
power IN the country next to the agricul.
tural interests and when their prosperity
was interfered with. resulting in their
having 10 curtail expenditures. a depress-
ing effect on business Immediately fol-
lowed.
Senator Walsh asked Mr. Outerbrdge
II the railroads of the country were con-
cerned over the opening Of the Panama
Canal The witness replied that he had
talked with many railroad presidents WIN
had anticipated loss of tonnage AZ re-
suit OF the opening OF the canal. whether
freight rates were reduced or not.
George l.. Fox of New Haven was the
last witness of the day. He advocated re-
peal.
Col. George w Goethals has been asked
to appear before the committee. and 30
also has ex-senator Joseph b. Foraker Of
Ohio.

NOT THE SAME SWEET ALICE
Probably Ben Bolt Would Find 1t Hard
to Recognize His Sweetheart
In Modern Maid.

Oh, don't you remember sweet Alice,
Ben Bolt, when her hair was a beau
tiful brown? You never in the world
would know her as she looks today
with cane and trouserette gown.
Her Paris-made eurls are the new pur-
pie TINT when / called l could scarce
trust my eyes, for she wore little
nightcap, the fastest Paris hint, with
rosebuds and pink ribbon ties.
Sweet Alice is now on the stage,
Ben Bolt; she began at the end of the
row. She smiled with delight at the
public each night, and now she's the
hit of the show. She dances a tango
that sets them a-whirl, with dip and
kick and glide. You'd never be-
lieve twas the same little girl that the
song wrongly stated had died.
She's cigarette case on the end of
a chain, where the old fashioned one
wore fan; has fiat and a maid and
Pomeranian pup; her motor is olive
and tan. And down at the theater
place where she plays, her pictures
are hung by the score, and they've
fitted a slab with about a thousand
electric lights and sweet Alice's name
up over the door.-Kate Masterson, In

PARTIES
ATTORNEY GENERAL GIVES Rul'
ING THAT WILL PEEVE
THE LADIES

Santa Fe, Oct. 6.-Beware! Beware!
Ye ladies who play Five Hundred or
Auction Bridge for prizes.
Attorney General Frank W. Clancy
this forenoon handed down another
orinion that playing for prizes, even
at the Auction Bridge club meeting
or in honor of some distinguished
guest. or for sweet eharity's sake, is
violation of the New Mexico sta
tute. The opinion is in reply to let
ter from Mrs. A. Hortenstein of Sprln-
ger. who writes that several ladies IN
Springer have organized card club,
which meets every two weeks, at the
home of some member to play Five
Hundred. the prize to be furnished by
the hostess and that there have been
threats of criminal complaints against
those participating IN the games.
Today was opinion day, for seyen
opinions were handed down by the at
torn1y general anu his assistants.
Two of them sustain the action OF the
state board of equalization, that mort
cages are taxable, and one of them
gees so far that it is not necessary
for the assessor to accept any setoff
to such mortgages at this stage of the
game. IL the taxpayer neglected to
make the proper return on such evil
derces of indebtedness he holds, whe-
ther in the shape of certificates of de-
LOST in some bank or in bonds and
notes or in mortgages. The opinions
are given to District Attorney Ken
meth X. Scott at Roswell and S. D
Stennis of Carlsbad.
Another opinion makes it clear thai
taxes are levied against the land ant
not against the owner so that ever
though the taxes are levied against
man not the owner of the land at the
time of the assessment, yet. they ars
a lien against the land.
Another opinion is that a public
homestead is not taxable or assessabl'
until after patent had been issued ex
cept in cases where patent has beer
delayed through fault of the home
steader or his assignee or purchaser
Robert L. More of Albuquerque
holds that there is no requirement
tIat copies of complaints in the courts
of justices of the peace should be
served, nor that civil cases in those
courts should be begun by complaint.
