 Although the leaders yesterday came close to a schism, today's meeting, it was stated upon most authoritative in formation, resulted in material pro- grtss towards compromise. At no time since the bipartisan conference began week ago. one of the active leaders declared, have the prospects bten so bright for an agreement be- twen the four republican and five democratic members of the commit tee.
 Possibility of harmonizing difference es over the fundamental controversies Article x of the League of Nations covenant and the question of equal voting in the league-weres the basis of feeling among the conferets tonight that compromise may yet be reach ed. The conferees also feel sure that possibly with some difficulty. any compromise which the bipartisan conference could agree on would be accepted by the senate.

 Company officials gave much of the testimony, Edward F. Gaynor, auditor for the Interborough, testified that in 1915 the road had surplus of $20 900, 000 after distributing 20 per. cent in dividends. In 1917 it's net income was sS SS5, ,35S g. This figure dropped the Following year to $4.652 T5S.92. Never theless dividends of IT 1-2 per cent were paid in that year. tota1ling S6,- 125.000. The difference was paid out of accumulated surplus funds.
 No profit was shown last year, but , per cent, more than $1,0000OO. was paid, Gaynor said.
 Mayor Hylan asked if it would not be proper to let the stockholders who had profited by the dividends go into their own pockets instead of the com pany going into the pockets of the people" by increa sing the five-cent fare for financial relief.
 James L. Quackenbush, counsel for the company. contended that the shareholders now were largely diff ferent body than those of years back. He admitted he said that if the In terborough had conserved it's earnings instead of distributing them in divi- dends, the money would be available for the roads financial difficulties now He added that he regretted that the stockholders had not foreseen the wal and the expenses growing out of it.

 Elimination by the senate of an ap- propriation of $42 300 900 from the Americanization bill and substitution therefor of an appropriation of $6 800, : 900 restricted to use until the end of the 1921 fiscal year instead of an ex- penditure over four years IS the larger appropriation contemplated.
 Democrats and republicans for the most part joined forces in the slashing away at appropriations, the vote to eliminate customary 'porky" public buildings bill being unanimous The reduction in the Americanization bills appropriation was advocated jointly by Senators MeCumber, republican, North Dakota, and Dial, democrat, South Carolina.
 The North Dakota senator told his colleagues that according to careful estimates the government would start the fiscal year beginning July 1 with a deficit of three billion dollars Should expenditures for 1921 be kent within the conservative estimates of six bill lion dollars, the senator thought they might be provided for, but there would

INVESTIGATING LOYALTY OF
 SOCIALIST REINSTATEMENT

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 21-Investigation of the loyalty of the five suspended socialist assemblymen was asserted at their trial today before the assembly judiciary committee to involve the question as to whether socialists can hypocritically masquerade as a polit- ieal party, strike hands with every agency of force and revolution. and still make simple American people understand they are not sworn ene- mics of their country and ready to overthrow it.
 This assertion was made by Martin,
 W. Littleton, who withdrew tempo- 1 rarily today as social cousel for the
 committee to handle the case of United Slates Senator Truman H. Newberry of Michigan, in connection with whose election charges of fraud
 have been brought.
 He charged that Trotzky and Leninei are attempting installation in America; of the soviet form of government and that before the waves of public opin f ion stirred by this case lMve subsidedl this country will Understand that thisi so-called political party is the agent and CO., -eonSpirator with the dark forces of the invisible empire whosei object is forcible destruction of con- Sttutional government in America"
 Despite ruling by the chair againsti demonstrations during the trial. thereE was burst of applause from men and
 women who filled floor and galleries when MT. Littleton,. after denouncing the attitude of the socialist party tow ard the war. referred to a remark by! Morris Hillquit chief counsel for the ] defense, saying:
 MT. Hillquit said yesterday that what may be treason today may be- the law of the land tomorrow It will be the law tomorrow if you let traitors write the law.''
 This later brought sharp objection ] from MT. Hillquit, who named men famous in history who had held views opposed to the majority, and s1id:
 There are always initiatists, always pioneers, and at first their ideas shock 1 those whom they strike. We are preaching economic freedom. It may
 sound traitorous to you but it is our right" --

W Grant, war time commander Of the First battleship force of the At lantic fleet, as witnesses.
 The controversy first reached the senate V hen Senator Walsh, demo- crat. Montana, introduced a resolu- ton criticisiEE Rear Admiral William $. Sims for recent testimony before -hc investigating sub committee in in which instructions of the most confidential nature" the senator said, were laid before the world. After sharp debate. on objection of Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, republican leader. the resolution went over.
 Later the dispute bObbed uH when Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, act ing democratic leader. aided by Sena = tor Pittn-ln of Nevada, democratic member of the Investigating commit tee. conducted a successful hlibuster against the resolution ot Senator Hale of Maine, chairman of the committee, 10 allow the committee employ coun- sci. After the two democratic sena- tors had spoken for some time Chair man Hale interrupted the debate to say that IS it was evident that fil- fbnster was in progress. he would withdraw his motion for immediate vote His resolution thereup went over to be called up later, probably tomorrow.

 We have gone mad on the question of conceiving new questions that will reach into the federal treasury, said Senator McCunber, referring to tlse Americanization bill, which is design ed to educate illiterates and Ameri- canize foreign born citizens. "The, only thing that will stop it will be when we get to the end of the rope and have to bond the country to meet expenses"
 Senator Dial said the taxpayers of the United States were getting tired of being overburdened."
 In cutting down appropriations in the diplomatic and consular service bill, the house committee denied Sec retary Lansing's request for increases
 in the salaries of ambassadors and ministers. The only4 increase granted over present expenditures were fat

CUMMINGS DENIES PLOT
 TO RAISE $2o, ,ooo, 900 FUND

Washington, Jan. 21.-Chairman Cummings of the democratic nation al committee today made public a letter to the editors of the New York Tribune denying statements in that newspaper that the committee plan- ned ito raise fund of S20,000, 900 for this years presidential campaign"
 At no time and under no circum- stances said MT. Cummings, has the chairman of the democratic na- tional committee or anyone else au- thorized to speak for the financial de- partment of the committee, made any statement indicating that it was the purpose of the democratic national committee to raise fund of $20,oo0, 900 for this years presidential cam- paign.
 Such fund could not be raised raised. Our purposes have been plain enough campaign contributions to en- able us to conduct legitimate cam- paign and to present our cause ade- quately to the people. It'is very likely that effective campaign work will be more expensive this year than during any previous year in our political his tory. This will be due not only to the higher cost of printing, distribu- tion and clerical assistance, but also because of the enormous increase in the voting population, growing out of the granting of suffrage to women. see nothing improper in financing the campaign of a political party through popular subscriptions.
