TWO SUPPLY BILLS
RUSHED THROUGH
Senate Passes 1888, 0OO,O 900
Appropriation Measures
Within 100 Minutes.

Driving forward at high speed, the
Senate yesterday disposed OF two
more OF the routine supply bills,
bringing its calendar in that respect
practically up to date.
The combined Treasury-Post Office
bill, providing s763, 100000 for the
two departments, was disposed OF in
10 minutes, being taken up as soon
as the measure appropriating $685.
100000 for the Agriculture Depart
ment had been passed after one hour
and 20 minutes of discussion.
An agreement for a vote today on
Muscle Shoals, which broke the dead
lock over the Underwood bill, en-
abled the Senate to turn its attention
to the supply measures. Adminictra-
ton leaders recently served notice
that continuation of the Muscle
Shoals debate would necessitate re-
peated night sessions, and the Senate
was held two hours last night to pass
the Interior Department bill After
yesterdays record, however, there
were no suggestions that another
extra-hour meeting would be neces-
sary in the immediate future.
Committees Speed Up.
In the meantime, Senate commit
tees have speeded their gait to match
that of the parent body. The naval
bill and the first deficiency measure,
just passed by the House, were re-
ported to the Senate yesterday and
placed upon the calendar for con-
sideration as soon as the Legislative
situation permits. 1t appeared prob
able last night that at least one and
possibly both would be out OF the
way before the end of the week.
Items added to both bills passed
yesterday aggregated less than $780,
600. Those in charge blocked new
items and cut debate by points of
order against many proposals which

ginia, In behalf of the orchard in

by the Agriculture supply bill for
investigation into methods of fruit
growing, harvesting and packing.
Senator Swanson said he had been in
formed that the Department of Agri-
culture would be unable to send ex-
perts into Virginia unless the funds
were increased, and called the at
tention of the Senate to the remark

Coolidge Seeks
$4,000 to CoUer
Inaugural Cost

President Coolidge today asked
Congress to appropriate $4,000 to
pay expenses of the inaugural
ceremonies.
This request was made at the
suggestion of the joint committee
on inauguration, which pointed
out that $4,000 was appropriated
for this purpose four years ago, all
of which was not expended.
The legislation proposed by the
President would have this money
expended under the administration
of the Secretary of the Senate and
the Clerk of the House, and the
expenditure would include pay for

BOY INHERITS $4,000,
KEEPS DECKHAND JOB
Sudden Wealth Fails to Affect Life
of Ship Worker, Contented
With Present Work.
BY the Associated Press


WILMINGTON, DEL. January S.-In-
heritance of a fortune of $4,000
makes no difference in the life of
William Tracey, young deck hand
on Wilson Line steamer plying be-
tween this city and Philadelphia.
Having received a letter yesterday
containing a check to his order for
$4,000 and information that the re-
mainder of his inheritance would be
sent later, he deposited the check in
local bank and reported for duty
last night as usual.
The letter, from a firm of attorneys
in Los Angeles, notified Tracey that
his father, James J. Tracey, 81 years
old, a California fruit grower, had
died and left him an estate valued at
$3.50 The young man is the only
survivor of the fruit grower, two sons
having been killed in France during
the war. He also was member Of
the American expeditionary forces.
Tracey Is unmarried and said today
that he planned to continue working
as a deck hand as long as he could
hold his job. The position, he said, pays
him $3.50 a month and he is content
and satisfied.

Death came last night to end

wasted time, and decided that better
and quicker results could be obtained
by friendly conversations. After lis
tening to the diplomatic speeches
which opened the conference in which
the usual type of words such as
everlasting friendship common
interests" Cooperation and good
will" were oft repeated by the dele
gates of each participating nation,
Chancellor Churchill and Col. Logan
decided TO leave aside diplomatic
methods and to adopt the ordinary
methods used in transacting ordi-
nary commercial business.
Realizing that more can be
achieved by heart-to-heart talk,
they walked from the Quay dOrsay
to the British embassy, where, after
a few hours of talk over cup of
coffee and good cigars, they solved
the problem which had threatened to
poison the friendly feelings between
the British and Americans.
Americas claims were divided into
two: One, for the funding of the ex-
penses of the army of occupation in
accordance with the Wadsworth
agreement, and, second, for indemni-
flying the losses incurred by American
citizens during the war. 1t has been
agreed that the United States has a
priority claim on the Army expenses,
but the several hundreds of millions
of dollars claimed by the United
States will be reduced by some 20
per cent and distributed over a long
period of years.
The sums due will be refunded out
of the sums payable by Germany, &C
cording to the Dawes scheme, and
before the other allies receive theirs,
according to the Spa agreement. Other
claims, amounting to some $780,
100000, will be refunded similarly to
the other allies, but the modality has
not yet been decided and will be the
subject for further discussion.
Two Solutions Advanced.
Two solutions have been put for
ward-one that America receive per
cent yearly installment, which will
be deducted from the Belgian s per
cent quota, and the other that from
the sums to be paid yearly by Ger
many, a certain proportion be allotted
to the United States and the balance
distributed among the allies without
reducing their Spa percentage. 1t is
believed that the second solution will
be adopted, since it avoids the inevi-
table friction caused by the Belgians
protesting against their share being
sliced in order to satisfy the Ameri-
cans.

HOUSE IS WARNED
ON SALARY BILL
StengIe Says Smoot Plan
Lifts Restriction on Agri-
CuIturiStS' Pay.

Warning to the House against an
amendment made by the Senate yes
terday to the Agricultural appropri-
alton bill which removes all limit
on executive officers in fixing the
salaries in the field service and wipes
out all statutory salary rolls was
made today by Representative Stengle
of New York.
The Agricultural bill will come be-
fore the House tomorrow for con-
ference, and MIR. Stengle warned his
colleagues to be on guard against this
amendment which Senator Smoot an
nounced on the floor would be car
ried in all the appropriation bills,
because Of the fact that the reclasst-
ffcation OF the field service has not
been complete.
The amendment directs the Secretary
of Agriculture to fix rates of compen-
sation for civilian employees in the serv-
ice under the Department of Agricul-
ture to correspond, 50 far as may be
practical. to the rates established by
the classification act of 1928 for posi-
tions IN the departmental service in the
District 1t authorizes this, '"notwith-
standing the salary restrictions in other
acts which limit salaries to rates in
conflict with the rates fixed by the
classification act fixed by the depart
mental service
Points TO Classification Act.
Representative Stengle reminded his
colleagues in the House that the CLASH
fication act directed the personnel
board when it had made a reclassi-
fication of employees of the District to
proceed at once to a comparable basis
for the field service. 1t fixed the time
when they should report such reclassi
1ication of the field service before
June /, 1924. This Redistribution of
the field force has not been made,
Representative Stengle reminded the
House.
Representative Stengle spoke at
length on the question of reclasSifi-
cation and called upon members of
the House who will be conferees on
agricultural bill and on all other
supply bills to see that limitation
Is put on the authority granted by
this amendement to the heads of the
various Government Departments to
fix salaries.
Some of the members of the appro-
priatio committee who will be con-
ferees on the bill, which includes sal
aries Of the field force, have given as
surance that they will demand that
salaries thus reclassified must be ap-
proved by Congress.
