 LEADERS QUIT
 REPUBLICANS
Associated Preas)

NEW YORK. Jan 15-The split between the Republicans and Pro gressives Is now wider than ever. That much was indicated in state ments made tonight by George Per, kins. chairman of the Progressive national committee, and Everett Colby. a leading progressive of the State of New Jersey. They them. selves will refuse to have anything to do with Republican politics They evidenced that tonight when they, with other leading Progressiyes, re- fused to attend a dinner given by Republican National Chairman Will CON to the members of the execu- i've board of the national committee of the Republican party.
 The reason for such action on he part of the ProgressIyes. as given out in the statements, is that John Adams, of Iowa, said to rep. resent the old guard of the Repub .ican party, has been elected vice ghairman of the Republican national committee. The action was taken today by the executive board of the national committee against the protest of Chairman Wilcox. He con sidcrs, although he has not made public any statement to that effect that the naming of Adams means dual party control with himself in he east and Adams in the west, knowing that such course is ob jectionable to the Progressives. whom he hoped to bring back into he ranks of the regular Republi- cans, and to the Progressive wing of the party itself.
 At it's meeting today the eXecu- tive committee adopted resolution naming itself as a committee for giving recognition to and looking to cooperation with, all elements op posed to the Democrats and their policies

GOVERNMENT TO ISSUE BONDS TO
 BUILD RAILROAD

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15.- Representative Claude Kitchin, chair man of the ways and means com mittee of the house of representa- tives, says that the committee will recommend the issuing of bonds to cover the amounts necessary for the completion of a number of govern ment projects, including the Alaska government railroad; the purchase of the Danish West Indies, and the government armor plant. He also says that bonds will be issued to cover the expense of $162, 2,000,000 incidental to keeping troops, both regular and militia, on the border between the United States and MeXi co. He says that bonds in the sum of $21,S38,000 will be necessary for the completion of the Alaska rail way; S11,O00,OO0 will be necessary for the armor plant, and $25,0O0,OOO for the purchase of the Danish West Indies.
 Chairman Kitchin also declares that no conclusion has been reached by the Democratic leaders regarding the increase of taxes to meet the expected deficit at the end of the fiscal year on June 30, 1918. He says however, that several propositions for raising money to meet the de ficit are under consideration. He further states that the revenue bill will be passed by the house in about ten days, but he cannot say just what it will contain in the way of tax authorization. He expresses him self, however, as absolutely certain that the bond issue will be necessary for the foregoing purposes.

DEPARTMENT
 TO ABOLISH
 WITNESS FEE

In a circular issued by the depart ment of justice under the date of December 26, 1916, and which has just been received by the local fed eral officials, is contained provisions which, in the opinion of the local authorities, tend to abolish witness fees heretofore allowed
 In the past, when a witness Was compelled to travel 100 miles or over that distance he was allowed his actual travelling expenses, includ ing roadhouse bills, and also hotel expenses while in attendance at court In addition to this he was also allowed the regular five dollars per diem allowance while in at tendance at court, and also on the journey both ways. Witnesses com ing within the hundred mile radius were allowed the regular mileage of fifteen cents a mile and the regular per diem allowance.
 In the opinion of Clerk of Court J. E. Clark, as well as of the mar shal's office, the new order will do away with the per diem allowance if the witness is allowed his actual travelling expenses and hotel eXpens- es while in attendance at court The hundred mile limit is also done away with by this order, and any witness now has the right to choose whether he will travel on the regular mileage or at the expense of the government.
 Either way, the witness loses. as it is impossible to cover the travelling expenses with the fifteen cents mile age plus the five dollars per diem. And if the government pays the ac- tual expenses, there being no per diem allowed, the witness is out the time he is away from his business. plus any expense that he may be put to in filling his place while he is away from his job
 MT. Clark states that there may be a misinterpretation of the order, and to make sure, he is taking the matter up with the department, with a view to having the circular thor oughly explained.
