Senate Passes
Budget Measure
Without Roll Call
Prompt Action in House Prom
ised on Bill Which Was
Vetoed by President
Wilson.

Washington, April 26,--Brief de-
bate preceded the final vote on the
budget bill, which was passed to-
day by the senate without a roll
call. ...
1t was introduced originally by
Senator Mccormick, republican, Hi
nois, passed by both the senate and
house during the Sixty-sixth con-
gress, vetoed by President Wilson
and then rcpassed by the house with
the sections found Objectionable by
the executive stricken out. The SEN
ate, however, failed to act on the
measure after the presidents veto.
The measure, as passed today, now
goes to the house where prompt &C
ton has been promised.
The bill provides for bureau OF
the budget a, the Treasury depart
ment to prepare the estimates OF ap-
preparations, needed by the various
departments. The bureau would
have, as its head. a director of the
budget. appointed by the president
Will tilC COliSCHt VI TIC SClidtSt iol
term OF seven years with an annual
salary of $4,000.
The Offices of comptroller and
assistant comptroller of the treas
ury would be abolished under the
revised bill, and in their stead Of
fees Of comptroller general and as
sistant comptroller general would
be created.
Efforts Of democrats were directed
toward scaling down the salaries of
Offices provided for in the bill. SEN
ator Harrison, democrat, Mississippi,
called attention to the adoptin of an
additional Office in the budget bu-
reau and said he was curious why
at this time, when we are trying to
practice economy" there should be an
effort by the republicans to increase
the number of Offices.

Plans for Public
Welfare Bureau
Warmly Opposed
Federation of Labor Fights
Proposal of Harding-Dif.
ference of Opinion De.
velops in Cabinet.

Washington, April 26.-Plans for
creation OF a new federal depart
ment of public welfare, though still
i'll a formative stage, have already
aroused enough opposition to in
dicate that President Harding will
have much work to do before
whipping the project into final
shape.
The matter was up today both
at the cabinet meeting and at
conference between Samuel Comp
ers and other officials of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor and Secre-
tary Davis and Brigadier General
Sawyer, Mr.. Harding's personal
representative in welfare depart
ment preliminary studies. The
labor men voiced objections to
transfer OF the children's and
women's bureau of the Department
of Labor to the proposed new de-
partment and the cabinet meeting
was said to have developed differ
ence of opinion as to what had
been done with federal educational
dStuClcS.
1t was indicated that no con-
clusion was reached by Mr.. Hard
ing and his advisers and that the
president planned to confer with ad-
ninistrational officers and members
of congress before rounding out
welfare department plans first pre-
sented during his campaign and
later formally recommended to con-
gress.
Some administration officials are
represented as opposing any effort
to consolidate existing educational
agencies, like the bureau of eduea-
ton in the interior department, with
the projected welfare department.
On the contrary it was said they be-
lieve that a department of educa-
tiop should be created separately,
leaving public health and related
subjects to the welfare Depart
ment.
Organized labor's objections as
voiced by Mathew Woll, vice presi-
dent of the labor federation, to re-
moval of the women's and children's
bureau from the labor department
rested on the contention that will,
them would go supervision of
women and children in industry,
matters in which labor is held to
have vital interest.

Sheriff Asks
Dismissal of
Police Heads
Des Moines' Officers Charged
In Formal Complaint With
Giving Protection to No.
torious Crooks.

Des Moines, April 26.-(Special
Telegram. Formal charges were
presented to the civil service COM
mission here today by Sheriff w. E:
Robb asking the dismissal of Chief
of Detectives John Brophy and AS
sistant Chief of Police Frank
Harty. ....
The action follows a broadsidc
fred by the sheriff at the police
heads in the form of numerous affi-
davits in which it was charged that
Brophy and Harty had counselled
with notorious criminals as to the
commission of crime in Des Moines
and arranged to protect them.
Robb charges the two city police
officials not only allowed criminal
conditions to exist and wilfully
failed to suppress them, but associ-
ated and counseled with notorious
criminals and made arrangements
with the crooks to protect them and
have carried out these alleged graft
agreements. ....-
The recent raid, which pulled in
more than 100 persons in the police
dragnet Saturday night, furnished
the basis. for all additional charge.

having falsely arrested honest per-
sons and kept them in custody with
out sufficient grounds to do so.

were filed with the charges, but it is

Invalid Mother
Smells Gas and
Finds Girl Dead
Bluffs Woman Crawls Down
Stairs From Bed to Discover
Body of Daughter on
Floor in Kitchen.

After becoming alarmed by the
odor of escaping gas yesterday
afternoon, Mrs. Mary Frank, 14S
Vine street. left the bed in which
she has been confined last Novem-
Der and crawled down the stairs on
her hands and knees to the
kitchen, where she found the dead
body of her daughter, Mary, d. a
teacher in the Eighth avenue
school.
Her death was accidental ac-
cording to Coroner Henry Cutler,
and no inquest will be held. The
young teacher had gone to the
kitchen to light the stove and heat
some water. She had been feeling
i'll for two days, according to the
mother, and apparently tainted after
she had turned on the gas and be-
fore she applied the lighted match
to the burned.
The kettle of water was stand
ing half over the burner from which
the gas was escaping and the
burned match was found on the
floor near her hand. She failed to
revive from the faint in time to
realize the situation and finally was
asphyxiated.

Manufacturing Co. The father,
Henry L. Frank, died many years
ago. The sister and brother had
joined in the support of their moth
er.

body, Mrs. Frank managed to tele-
phone the police station before she
collapsed, due to the emotional
strain in her weakened condition.
DR.. Harry Kelly, police surgeon
was called, but could not revive
the school teacher. The mother is
prostrated.

With Allies Possible.

By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, April 2o,--Far
greater concessions by Germany TO
the demands OF the allies must be
Forthcoming before reopening OF
the reparations negotiations will be
possible, according to the lndlca4
tions here tonight
After a day OF conferences be-
tween Secretary OF State Hughes and
the allied ambassadors on the new
German proposals, the situation APP
peared unfavorable to the transmits
sion of the Berlin note to the allies
by the United States as basis OF
discussion.
I The ambassadors of the allied
powers pointed out to Mr., Hughes
numerous major features OF the Ger~'
man proposals that are wholly unac-
ceptable. The Berlin note has been
in the possession of the chanceller-
les in the allied capitals since yes-
terday and the British. French, ltal-
ian and Belgian ambassadors were
receiving today the instructions of
their governments as to the attitude
to be assumed in discussing the mat
ter with Mr.. Hughes.
Final Decision Today.
Whether the allied ENJOYS were
unit in rejecting the German counter
proposition and notified Mr.. Hughes
of the unwillingness of their gov
ernments to receive the proposals
formally, is not clear but there is
every indication that Mr.. Hughes
will know definitely by tomorrow the
final decision of the governments
concerned.
The German note, which was re-
ceived in Washington late last night,
was submitted by Mr.. Hughes to the
meeting of the president and his cab
met this forenoon. There ensued an
extended discussion in which the
Berlin counter proposals were ana
alyzed and weighed. 1t does not ap-
pear that the cabinet pronounced the
note proper basis of discussion"
though there was a general disposi.
ton to regard the proposals worthy
of informal submission to the allies
for their. opinion thereon.
1t was noted that the principal COM
cession by Germany is to name a
total rsparations amount considerable
ly higher than ever before. The prin>
cipal sum Germany is willing to pay
| is approximately $l2,s00,000,000. Tha
allies have fixed the principal sum
at S2f ,000, 100000. With interest
added, the total amount Germany ii
willing to pay is $S0,000,0O0, ,MG
