 you can save thousands of dollars to the Government in transportation of these jurors and witnesses and prisoners, when the money is al ready appropriated and available Does the gentleman propose to say that because it has been considered by those in authority in the House that you will not make these appro priations, therefore you are going tu mulct the Government of thousand of dollars of needless expenses be cause a jail and court house are 10 be built somewhere, and you do not get postoffice?
 Mr. She'll am not asking for any think l have been as considerate iii asking for appropriations as anyone in the House. I have really earnestly tried to cut down appropriations at this time, and until there has been some general policy adopted to deal with these emergency propositions, am constrained to object to this measure and I do object
 MT. Shell argued that the elim ination of the post office provision at that time would in the future TO. uuire an additional appropriation of $50,000 or that it's retention would neccsstate a present additional dp propriation for that amount MT Clark Replied:
 "There will not be dollar save1 by objecting to the passage of this bill. On the contrary it is going to entail thousands of dollars of cost in bringing these witnesses and jurors back and forth as stated by the gentleman from Alaska.
 Now. let me say this, further: Gentlemen have raised the question of these buildings that are needed. As the gentleman from Kentucky them require an additional aa- thorization and we have been in formed that no bill of that character will be permitted to pass. Therefore the committee, lowing to the rule ot the order, or whatever you may term it, has not reported any of these bills. believe that the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds will agree, if they get any intimaticn from the House they will pass it, to report a bill in here that will take care of every one of these emergency cases that the gentleman from New York (Mr. SnellD refers to. But in his ease it will require an additional appropriation out of the Treasury. If the house wants us to do that, we are perfectly willing to do it.
 By this objection the measure was defeated.

SMELL DEFEATS EFFORT TO GET
 BUILDING FUND
Appropriation for Cordova Federal Building Defeated
 By New York Man.

That the authoriza ton for the ex- penditure of $100,O00 for the con struction of courthouse and jail at Cordova was prevented in the l House of Representatives by Con gressman Shell, of New York. is the ! Parks, of the Interdepartmental ! Board. The matter, which came up 1 for consideration on January 17, was defended strongly by Delegate Grigsby, Representative Clark and others, on the floor.
 The bill was on the unanimous consent calendar for that day and copies of the Congressional Record just received here contain a full account of the debate MT. Grigsby explained the nature of the measure as follows:
 "Mr Speaker, the bill is one to make available for the construction of court house and jail, the sum of $100,000 which was appropriated in 1913. to construct a court house,
 
 found to be insufficient for that kind of a building The supervising ar chtect, however, reported that he could construct the court house and jail for that amount. This bill makes available that sum for that purpose. There is no additional appropriation. It is simply making available an or iginal appropriation
 Mir. She'll Gnterrupting) I do not understand What was the original appropriation?
 Mir. Grigsby-One hundred thous and dollars.
 MT. Snell--And this is an additional appropriation?
 MT Grigsby-No, it is not. It is to make available the same amount of money and building which can be constructed.
 Delegate Grigsby explained at length the conditions existing at Cordova which was costing the Gov ernment thousands of dollars yearly and which would be saved by i'm mediate construction of the proposed buildings. Chairman Langley oi the Committee on Public Buildings also defended the proposition. Reprcstn- tative Clark, of Florida said q want to say Mir. Speaker, that this $10O000 has already been au- thorized and appropriated"
 MT Snell-Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield for a question right there?
 Mr Clark-Let me finish this statement. Then will yield anG endeavor to answer any questions you may want to ask, if l have time. i This $100,000 has been appropri- ated for the specific purpose oi constructing building to take care of the court, jail and postoffice. The money is not sufficient for that purpose They need the court house and jail worse than they do the other. So it has been thought ad- visable to do this so long as it took no additional money. and this partic- ular amount has already been apro- priated. The Treasury officials say they can construct the court house and jail within the limit of cost, and therefore the committee reported the bill simply eliminating the post office in order to allow the jail and courthouse to be constructed, which are so badly needed by these people of Alaska.
 Mir. Clark-You have got to appro- prate that extra money, possibly S5O,000, now or some time hereafter. Why not construct the building when

Only a reduction of Europe's debts
TO America can avert q catastrophe
In England and France and in turn
reduce Germany's debts Germany is
the one nation now paying what she
owes. Unless Germany obtains a re-
vision of debts under a treaty the re-
ported American proposal would bring
merely moral relief instead of actual
benefit. And such a treaty would not
be easily arranged unless France
shows remarkable change of mind"
DIR. Walter Simons, Foreign Minis
ter in the F'ehrenbach Cabinet, be-
fore leaving Berlin for London thus
summed up his opinion as to the ef-
fects of the reported American pro-
posal to reduce the debts owed to her
by the Allies. He confessed that per-
sonally he was pessimistic, but the in
timation that Germany might yet be
invited to the Washington conference
obviously cheered him. The main
theme OF his conversation was the
French attitude.
France" he said, "is the one country
which has insistently demanded gold.
Though it has now been proved that
huge gold payments are impossible. the
French refuse 10 learn the lesson.
Frances anxiety sbout the German
menace is nothing less than psyche
pathic, and by their methods they are
making Germany's revenge certain. I

----------s---- Iron and Steel Reuiew Shows Operations Are Still About 50 Per Cent

Cleveland, O., November 17.-(Spe- cial)-The Iron Trade Review today says:
 Under fluctuating conditions of de- mand. little headway now is being made by iron and steel markets, yet there are no clear signs that any material aggression has set in. Oper- ations hang around 50 per cent with indications that some of the principal producers will move more tonnage in November than in October. which was the best month of the year. The most cheerful aspect of the situation Is the tendency toward revival of heavy products, due principally to broadening activity of railroad buy ing. Railroad rate developments at Washington again are more promis- ing, and it may be that additional wage cuts about to be announced by various systems will speed longed- for reductions in freights.
 Naval disarmament, if carried ous on lines now proposed, would prove practically a negligible factor in it's influence upon the steel trade. Care full analysis shows that the total steel requirements of the American navy during the past i've years rep- resent only about one-half of 1 per cent of finished output of mills. and for S4 years about one-third of 1 per cent. Chief effect from cessation of navy demands would be upon armor plate. gun and projectile plants and manufacturers of maintenance and operating equipment. American ship yards also would likely suffer. since navy work has proved a sustaining back log for these plants during many lean years in building of com mercial tonnage.
 More business in railroad cars is current than at any time in years. Contracts placed in the past week call for 5000. Pending inquiry rep resents 15,000 cars. From 300,000 to 100000 tons of rails is active. An other new low mark Is recorded this week by composite market average of IA iron and steel products com piled by the Iron Trade Review. The figure is s3t 63. compared with SPA 02 ir November. 1913

WHEAT COULD NOT HOLD AN ADVANCE
 IN THE CH|CAGOP|T
Corn and Oats Were Both Weak, While Provisions List Was Unchanged to
 Five Gents Down
By Associated Prass

Chicago, November 17.-Declines took place in the wheat market today after an early advance. Reports of rain in the southwest and lack of European demand, notwithstanding strength in foreign exchange, were leading bearish factors. The market closed weak, 1h@1Hc net lower. Corn finished shade to 1sc up; oats off bc to %c and provisions un- changed to Sc down.
 Absence of any aggressive selling was largely responsible for the strength shown during the early trading in wheat. Bulls contended that with reduced receipts and di- minished stocks, the current prices of grain would look cheap should there be any apparent improvement in eco homie conditions On the advances which ensued. however, selling orders became more plentiful especially from elevator interests and from a house with foreign connections. It was these offerings which put a surplus on the market and proved hard to digest late in the session, when reports seemed to indicate the ending of drouth in the southwest. Slowness of export call was asso- ciated in some degree with announce ment that harvesting had started al- ready in northern Argentina.
 Persistent demand from the east for cash corn here gave firmness to the corn market. Oats appeared to be governed in the main by the action of wheat.
 Provisions were easier. reflecting a downturn in the hog market.
