effect that Mr.. Schwab'S personal eX
penses for October 1918, amounting
to $260,000 were charged to the ship
ping board. Mr.. Schwab declared
that the statements were "absolutely
unqualified and maliciously false" anC
that he personally paid all of his
own expenses during his term of of
flee as director general of the Emerg-
cncy Fleet Corporation.
Mr.. Schwab said that although he
was supposed to receive a dollar a
year salary he did not even collect
that. In his travel from shipyard to
sh;pyard while at the head of the fleet
corporation, he asserted, he never
received any compensation and did
not want any. He admitted that such
a voucher as that charged by Col.
Abadie might have been paid to him
but declared it was not for the pur-
pose claimed by Col. Abadie and that
no part of it was charged to ship con-
etluction. He became head of the
fleet corporation, he said, only at
the urgent request of the chairman
of the board and President Wilson,

sisted that all matters connected with
his own shipbuilding companies -
handled by other member .saSe =

Col Abadie, who again took the
stand today, said he regretted the
necessity for connecting Mr. Schwab
with the voucher, that he hoped it
was an error and that Mr.. Schwab
would be cleared. Col. Abadie reiter-
atcd his previous testimony that in
formation concerning the voucher
had been given to him by Mr.. Morse
of Perley- Morse and Company, ac-
countants, employed to audit the
shipping board books. He said the
charge was entered as "overhead", in
the main office of the Bethlehem
Steel Company and 100000 was
charged to ship construction.
He admitted that Mr. Morse had
told him how the other 100000 had
been spent but declined to repeat
what he had been told and said it
concerned the Bethlehem Corporation

Suspension of Increase.

Officials of the New Mexico cat
tie and Horse Gro ters' association
are making an effort to obtain the
temporary suspension of the 80 per
cent increase in freight charges
added last August. A wire was
sent to the interstate commerce
mission yesterday by the asso-
citation secretary explaining that
the additional rate will work con
siderable hardship on the cattle

be a heavy movement of oatt.e 10

The suspension is only asked
during the period OF spring NOV

tlemen are optimistic regarding
the probability of the suspension
being granted.

ADOPTION BY The SENATE OLA
STATE wide PRIMARY LAW NOW
LOOMS AS STRONG PROBABILITY
Four Republican Senators Are Excused in Or
der That They May Confer With the Gov
ernor; They Hold the Balance of Power;
State Operated Coal Mine Is Recommended
(BY CLINTON P. ANDERSON

Santa Fe, March S.--Passage of
a statewide primary act by the
senate loomed up as strong prob
ability this afternoon when four re-
publican senators were excused
from session IN order that they
might confer with the governor.
Senator Martinez stated for the
four that if the governor wished
them to support statewide pri-
mary, they would probably secure
it's passage by the senate. The four
senators hold the balance of power,
having allied with them eight
democrats and possibly two more
republicans. There has been con-
siderable dissatisfaction with the

ed by the senate last night, Sena-
tor Martinez and his friends de-
sire to go the whole way if they
move toward primary at all.
Senator Phillips, chairman, of the
judiciary committee, Is drafting
at the request of the governor a
series of amendments to house bill

amendments are drafted and pre-
sented there is every indication
now that the bill will pass the SEN

SENATE STARTS
A Ne " PLAN FOR
GRANTING FUNDS
Governor Is Given Authority
to Approve or DiSapprove
Any Part of Bill Appropri-
ating Money.
CBY STAFF CORRESPONDENTS }


Santa Fe, March SIN passing
the appropriation bill last night,
the senate started a new system
for granting money to educational
Institutions which is likely to en-
able governors to reduce expenses
in any institution without striking
out the entire appropriation to that
school. In former appropriation
bills the institutions have been CIV
en- a lump sum for maintenance,
which a governor either had to ac-
cept or reject. If he vetoed the
item, the school would be forced
to close
The last sentence of section 90
of article 4 Of the state constitu-
ltion provides,
The governor may in like man
ner approve or disapprove any
part or parts, item or items, of any
bill appropriating money, and such
parts or items approved shall be-
come a law and such as are dis
approved shall be void, un' ess
passed over his veto, as herein pro-
vided."
The constitutional grant does not
give the governor power to reduce
items but only to strike them out.
The result has been that when ap-
preparations were granted in a
lump sum the governor was unable
to trim them down as the consti-
tuition contemplated, should he
think such a reduction necessary.
In passing the appropriation bill
last night the senate adopted a
series of amendments which item
lied appropriations to schools. In
each ms anCe the items were small
er than normal expenditures, it be-
ing understood that the remainder
would be made up from the funded
income of the schools. With these
itemized bills, the governor is free
to strike out from the appropria-
ton of any school such items as he
may deem necessary in order that
the appropriation bill may be re-
duced.
While it is not regarded as certain
or very likely that Governor Mech
EN- actually contemplates striking
out any items, it is known that he
personally favored the change in Or
der that a practice might be started
which would be of distinct benefit
to future governors in case an eX-
cessivc appropriation bill succeeded
in passing through any legislature.
When the bill was under con-
sideration Senator Ayres attempted
to have added to the penitentiary
appropriation the sum of $500 for
a welding plant and $1,000 for a
lathe. The amendments were de-
feated by the senate, but may pos
sibiy pass in the house. Both were
recommended by the committee
which Investigated conditions at
the penitentiary.

that $4,000 be appropriated for
this purpose. This follows the re-

The senate devoted considerable
time to a consideration of senate
bills SO and ITO and house bill 269,
all for the control Of the sale Of
patent medicines by drug stores.
Martinez moved to recommit SEN
ate bill SO, which was on the calen-
dar. His motion was tailed, after
which senator Phillips moved TO

cock moved to table his motion but
the Hedgecock motion was lost.
Phillips then withdrew his first
motion and moved to substitute

that this bill was not properly be-
