WIDOW IS ROBBED
BY MAN SHE AIDED
Benefactor Says Veteran
Took Life Saving of 81, 500
and $685. in JeWeIry.

How widow was robbed Of virtually
all she possessed-s2, 500 in cash and
jewelry valued at s3,685-by a man to
whom she had given food and lodging
for the last seven or eight months was
related today by the victim, Mrs. Mil
dred A. Galliher, 1922 Tenth street.
Mrs. Galliher, who appealed to police
last night to find the thief and, if pos
sible, force him to return her money
and jewels, is the widow of William T
Galliher, newspaper linotype operator.
Since her husbands death, nearly
three years ago, she said, she has been
renting rooms, but has never been able
to keep more than one or two rented.
Agreed to Help Him.
Nevertheless, when a young man, who
described himself as World War vet
eran, appealed to her for a place to
stay. explaining he was homeless and
penniless, she agreed.
Il met him about a year ago. she
said, when I went into a secondhand
store to buy an odd piece of furniture
He was supposed to be part owner of
the store.
After that, he used to walk past my
house, and if happened to be sitting
on the porch he'd drop in for chat.
This continued for few months; then
he told me he and his partner had fall
len out and he had no place to stay.
II told him he could stay with me
If he'd help out around the house He
was handy fellow-he repaired the
roof, painted the porch, fixed the ga
rage doors and did a lot of other
things that 1 couldn't have done my
self. Besides, I'm alone a great deal,
and he sort Of made me feel safe"
Urged Her to Withdraw Money.
Recently, Mrs. Galliher continued,
her "boarder," learning she had q bank
termed her ''fooIishness.' He warned
her, she said, that mo bank is safe
nowadays" and urged her to Secrete
both her savings and her Jewels fright
here in your own home, where you can
keep an eye on Them
The man finally succeeded in getting
Mrs. Gall1her to agree, she said, and
she closed her bank account and de-
hnquiShed her safe deposit box.
The money and jewelry," she con-
t1nued, were all had left of what I
inherited from my husband when he
died. They represented our life saw
ings
There were IS new s100 bills. 1 put
them in an envelope, laid it under the
linoleum in my bed room and put nv
sewing machine on it.
Discovers Disappearance.
THE jewels, mostly diamonds, 7 put
in small box. He removed a board
from the bed room floor, put the box in
the hole and nailed the board back in
place. Since he was the only person
who knew where the money and jewelry
were hidden, and had such confidence
In him, felt that everything was safe.
My sister was sick last Saturday,
and spent the day with her, leaving
him alone in the house. Early Sun
day morning he left. saying he was
going to take ride to Great Falls and
enjoy the scenery.
Although he didn't return, I didn't
give the money and jewels a thought
until last night. Then it suddenly oc-
CURED to me to see if they were safe.
They were gone"
Mrs. Galliher notified second pre-
cinct police Immediately. She gave
them the mans name and a detailed
description.

Controller Insists Employees
of Senatorial Committees
Must Accept Reduction.
DENIES SPECIAL STATUS
FOR AFFECTED WORKERS
His Reply Contends That Legisla-
tive Shares Alike With Other
Federal Branches.

Despite vigorous protest from Sen
ator Steiwer of Oregon against the
economy acts pay cut on employees o.
senatorial committees, Controller Gen.
eral McCarl today fatty laid down the
rule that Congress, having cut both the
executive and judicial branches of thf
Government, also intended to cut it,
own legislative appropriations.
Frank and outspoken was Senator
Steiwer in protesting against the cur
tailment of appropriations for employes
on the contingent items Of the Senate
Not on Senate Rolls.
''The employees working for specia
committees are not on the rolls of the
Senate" Senator Steiwer contended
They are therefore excluded from the
cut by the plain language of the act
If the effect Of this act should be re-
garded as matter for speculation may
I then suggest that Congress could not
have intended to include the employees
of special committees for the reason
that they have no special salary basis
except for a maximum limitation.
1.-The only effect, therefore, of appli-
cation of the salary cut to these en-
ployeS is to reduce by ruling Of the
controller general and without action
of the Senate or House the. amount OF
money allotted to the special or stand
ing committees for special investi-
CATION"
Urges Revised Ruling.
The Senator urged McCarl to reverse
a previous decision on the matter hold
ing these employees should be cut.
The controller general answering the
Senator's complaint that the savings OF
8la per cent would be lost to the CON-
mittee by reason of being impounded in
the Treasury, McCarl replied:
The same situation confronts both
the executive and judicial branches OF
the Government and it is not to be
presumed in the absence of plain Ian
guage to that effect, that the Congress
intended to exempt its own appropria-
tions from the operation of the i'm
pounding section Of the economy act
merely because the amounts appearing
in the appropriation act for the legis-
lative branch of the Government, avail
able for personnel, are thereby re-
duced"

VETERANS DEPLORE
DELAY OF INQUIRY
Wanted Early Study of Econ
omieS Possible in Their
Legislation.

Decision of the Joint Congressional
Committee to defer opening its study
into ways to effect economies in vet
erans' legislation until the Fall was
derided today by John Thomas Tay-
lor, vice chairman of the American
Legion National Legislative Commit
tee. Taylor termed the delay an "un-
welcome shock"
Informed by Representative Nc
Duffie of Alabama, chairman of the
House group, that the committee would
not meet until November, Taylor de-
clared:
The Legion learns of this four
months delay with deep regret.
Sees Little Time Left.
Under this procedure, the Joint
Committee will have little more than
month in which to conduct the in
vestigation, determine a policy and re-
port recommendations to the Congress
by January l, 1888, on all laws affect
ing all veterans of all wars and their
dependentS-a truly gigantic task"
1t was hoped by the Legion, Taylor
wrote, thai the committee would give
earnest and open study to the veterans
laws and problems during the five
months elapSing between sessions
AS head of the five House members,
McDuff1e, who is at his MonroeWlle,
Ala, home, wrote to all veterans Or
ganizationS requesting they submit Sug-
gestions on legislation affecting ex-
service men. The committee was Gre
ated under the economy bill after Con-
gresS rejected proposed economies of
$48,000,000.
Wants Public Inquiry.
"Star chamber sessions we're not
alone the cause of public disapproval of
Economy Committee cuts" Taylor
wrote. "* Our suggestions are, in
effect, that the joint committee ascer-
tain the facts openly and let these be
known to all. Such action will inspire
confidence"
Taylor suggested that proposals af-
fecting veterans be subjected to a COM
plete analysis by the Veterans Admin
istration-an analysis which will &C
tually explain in detail the effect on
all groups of the economies proposed -
course, to testify before the joint COM
mittea," he continued. I'VE earnestly
hope that at that time the joint COM
mittee will not limit its deliberations to
economies and inequalities alone, but
will also give consideration to construc-
tive legislative suggestions We have
heretofore advocated"

La Toilette to
 Speak at Arena
Senator Delivers Address in New Haven Toe
 morrow Night

Robert M. LaFollette, fiery sen- ator from Wisconsin and young progressive leader in the United States senate will speak in the New Haven Arena Tuesday evening at S:30 o'clock. His subject will be Americas Way Out"
 Senator LaFollette who is chair man of the senate subcommittee Investigating the need for direct federal unemployment relief will tell of conditions throughout the country as revealed by prominent social and civic leaders who testi- fled before the committee during it's sittings. He heartily favors federal relief for the unemployed. claiming that the various states and cities cannot adequately take care of the unemployed.
 He will also give an outline of 7 his plans for bringing America back to a semblace of it's well be- ing, which was enjoyed through out the length and breath of the land before the present depression struck the country.
 It has been said that he would shoulder the burden of the cost of rejuvenating the country on the New England states by taxing the many industries here, but 1t is his claim that an explanation of his plans would still this fear and show the people of New England that the country as a whole would have to work together. All would benefit it is his belief, and condi- tions would be much improved.
 Senator LaFollette's appearance in New Haven will be his only one in the state.

Hartford, Jan 25-Rural taxa ton, roads and the need for paid secretary will be the three principal subjects taken up at the annual meeting of the Connecti- cut Farm Bureau Federation at the Hotel Bond in Hartford, Thurs day morning at 10 o'clock. s. Me Lean Buckingham. president of the association, reports that in addi- tion to the usual election of off, cers, Connecticut farmers, their wives and friends will have an opportunity of learning what pro- gress is being made toward the solution of their problems through properly organized effort.
 President c. R. White of the New York State Farm, Bureau Federation is going to discuss the rural taxation problems at the af- ternoon session. Highway Con- missioner John A. Macdonald will review a years experience in the improvement of rural roads. How ard S. Russell, secretary of the Massachusetts Farm bureau, will explain how. that organization started and the advantages to be derived by having a secretary who
 
 problems.
 In calling the meeting, Presi- dent Buckingham calls attention to the present conditions which de- mand faith in agriculture, hope for it's future and the courage to ac- cept our responsibilities for bring ing about that new day in agricul- ture that we are all hoping for. The Farm bureau, he explains, is a service organization, not only for all branches of agriculture but al- so for the farm home. Its county units contact directly with the farm and the farm home; it's state organization cares for the boarder phases of the agricultural prob- lems that are collective rather than individuals; while the na- tional organization, the American Farm Bureau federation, functions throughout the national field of agricultural interests.
 The future prosperity or decay of the rural sections will depend upon the farmers ability to find a sound and rational solution for these problems. It is practically impossible to solve them through individual effort, although organi- zed action offers one possibility.
 Everyone interested in the future of the rural communities is invited to attend this meeting next Thurs day and discuss this important matter. The women are just as much interested as the men in a
