SCORES Democrats
ON EXPENSE POLICY
Mr.. Fitzgerald Says Party
Has Failed to Keep
Its Pledges.

"a horrible mess" is the term applied
| to the democratic policy Of expendi-
lures by Representative ]. ]. Fitzgerald
of New York. democrat, and chairman
of the House committee on appropria-
tions Mr.. Fitzgerald. leader of the
"watchdogs Of the Treasury" yester-
day afternoon in the House scolded his
democratic colleagues for the manner
in which they were forcing Congress
to spend millions of dollars moro than
they are entitled to under his construc-
tion of the party's pledge of economy.
The democratic party platform" he
said. pledged us to the abolishment of
useless Offices In a few months l shall
be called upon in the discharge OF my
official duties to review the record that
this democratic House shall have made
in its authorization Of the expenditure
of the public money. Whenever I think
Of the horrible mess that 1 shall be
called upon to present to the country
on behalf Of the democratic party l
am tempted to quit my place"
He turned to his side Of the House:
Joke to Ignore Pledges.
81 am now looking at democrats" he
said with fervor. "who seem to take
amusement in soliciting votes on the
floor of the House to overturn the COM
mittee on appropriations in its efforts to
carry out the pledges of the democratic
platform. They seem to take 1t as a huge
Joke not to obey their platform. If I
placed my political fortunes above my
sworn duty I would not attempt to carry
out the promises of the democratic plat
form. but would place myself at the head
of this band Of Treasury 1ooters every
time"
He produced letter written by min
lister of q church In his district which
threatened him with political death II he
did not throw his influence toward in
creasing a certain federal expenditure
700 per cent He continued:
Becoming Laughing Stock.
I'VE charged the republicans for twelve
years of my service in the House under
republican administrations with being
grossly extravagant and reckless in the
expenditure of the public money. I be-
lieved that charge to be true. I be-
power. would demonstrate that the
charges we had made in good faith were
true. We are entitled to the help and
to the support of the members on this
side of the House in honest efforts to
carry out the pledges of the democratic
what we charged in order to get in
power was true. We have not had that
support. Our democratic colleagues hav.
not given that support to thus faI
during this session of Congress. They
have voted against recommendations they
should not have voted against They
have unnecessarily piled up the public
expenditures until the democratic party
is becoming the laughing stock Of the
country"

est handbook men or bookmakers who
refuse to settle winning wagers.
Notwithstanding rigorous provisions
against illicit betting Furnishing both
bookmaker and bettor (the latter with
fines up to $3.50, experts believe that
Illicit books will continue to flourish. not
only because the wage-earners. clerks
and smafl-salaried men who today fur
nish the bulk of the handbook custom
cannot afford the minimum stake of S12,
but because the heavy taxation of the
licensed bookmakers will enable the
handbook men to offer far better odds.
Since 6 per cent Of every bet entered
will go to the government as an initial
tax. and winning bets will be mulcted
with an additional tax Of from 8 per
cent on bets at odds of 2 to l or less UP
to 20 per cent on the long shot of 20 to

WIFE OF SE|FERT
ASKS FOR DIVORCE

Ignatz Seifert, aged II, living with
his daughter, Mrs. Fred Kellar, 81
Bridge avenue, has been named de-
PENDANT in a divorce action filed by
Catherine Ditscher Seifert in a Gin
cinnati court She is twenty-five years
his Junior.
In her complaint the wife declares
she married Sefert October II, 1910,
and she asserts her septagenarian
spouse has contributed nothing to-
ward her support since May 20, 1911.
This marriage was the second for both
parties. Mrs. Seifert is engaged IN
the floral business in Cincinnati, and
is reputed to be in good circumstances.
Ignatz Seifert was for thlrty-hVe
years employed as a mechanic at the
Gaar-ScOtt factory and is well known.
He retired from active work some
time ago. He was ill today and could
not be seen by newspaper men, but
his daughters said Mrs. Ditscher mar
ried her father not because she was
in love with him, but because she
believed him to be wealthy. Mrs. kel-
Ter said that when the woman dlscoV-
cred Seifert was far from being rich
man, she became highly indignant and
left him, never to return, after living
with him six months. Seifert has no
disposition to contest the divorce &C
ton. He is more than willing to have
his wife obtain legal separation.
