TIVO CQNGRESSMEI1 HAVIIIGA DISPUTE Tawney and Livingston Sum Up Congress' Expenditures in Different Ways. BOTH PLAYING POLITICS
REPUBLICAN COUNTS THE ACTUAL EXPENDITURES BUT THE DEMOCRAT TALKS OF THE BONDS YET TO COME.
A HEW TONG VICTIM Another Chinaman Injured in Battle Yesterday, Died Early Today.
DISTRICT UNDER GUARD
Washington, June 28. Figures do not lie, but Congressmen do Juggle them to their purposes, as was shown today by the statements issued by Chairman Tawney, of the house committee on appropriations, and Representative Livingston, of Georgia, the ranking democratic member of that body, showing how much money the late session of congress has cost the country. This is an annual spectacular performance on the part of these two members, the former seeking to minimize, and the latter to magnify the expenditures, each for partisan purposes. Star tine out with the identical set
of figures, by the simple processes of
addition and subtraction they have
rerxhed widely different answers to the problem of the cost of running the national government. In the end their
figures are nearly S200.000.000 apart
This apparent but not real difference Is reached by reason of the fact that
Mr. Tawney Includes In his figures only the direct charge made upon the federal treasury occasioned by the actual appropriations made in appropriation bills of this year. Includes Bills -to Come. Mr. Livingston includes not only actual charges upon the treasury, but authorizations which will become latter next year and years following, charges upon the public treasury, but which will not have to be met during the coming fiscal year. Both statesmen agree that the appropriations this year are $1,027,133,446.44, but Mr. Tawney follows the rule of subtraction and thus fixes the expenditures at SS93.120.760 net, while T f f IvInMitAM'. mU l .L.l M a j I
' AMf IIIQSWil 9 IUIQ ID lUCLfc JL audition, and he accordingly reaches the "grand total of $1,081,744,142 gross, or $15,000,000 more than the appropriations of last year. Including $11,000,000 for the extra session, while Mr. Tawney's figures read $28,000,000 less than last year's appropriations. Taking the charge upon the treasury alone, Mr. Tawney shows there will thus be a surplus of about $11,000,000 of receipts over expenditures, but In doing this be counts upon $25,000,000 from the corporation tax, the constitutionality of which is now pending In
iue supreme court. Deficit Would be $14,000,000. If it should be decided unconstitutional the deficit would be $14,000,000 upon his showing to actual charge upon the treasury, to say nothing of contingent appropriations. Always heretofore Mr. Tawney has been obliged to apologize for increasing expenditures, but this year he finds cause for rejoicing in reductions and he gives President Taft credit for enjoining economy upon congress. Mr. Livingston, as he has been doing for more than a decade, harks back to the days of the Cleveland administration, when the total expenditures were less than a billion dollars per congress, whereas they are now a billion dollars a session, or double what they were during the last democratic administration. These figures "Uncle Lon" has been religiously presenting to the country ever since the last democratic con
gress. Mr. Tawney asserted that a summary of the constructive legislation of the first regular session of the sixtyfirst congress constitutes a record of accomplishment surpassing In importance any previous session in the history of congress. Money for the Army. Livingston denounced what he called a large increase on account of publie expenditures, an Increase of the public debt, "half a billion dollars spent for militariasm and the treasury drained for army and navy." Mr. Tawney declared there was a substantial reduction in current military expenses, while Mr. Livingston asserted that under the reclamation Issue and naval appropriations "we have a policy that stands for Interest bearing bonds issued against the humble homes of the settlers and the lavish handing out of millions upon tens of millions of dollars raised by onerous taxation to satisfy the greed of shlp-builders and armor plate contractors, and to maintain a nation policy of pomp and splendor." Mr. Tawney urged abrogation of the rule. Instituted by a democratic house giving to eight different committees the power of preparing the money bills for each congress and the adoption of a new rule constituting one committee, large enough to be representative of every section, to have initial control over all appropriation bills. wT?'f 00 maitas to sate and at tns um PJpln. the positive car for all di Maces ari.ini
(American News Service) New York, June 28. The latest outbreak of rival clans in Chinatown claimed its second victim yesterday when Chu Foo, a member of the Four Brothers Society, died in the Hudson street hospital from a bullet wound in the head and back suffered Sunday afternoon when his faction and the Ong Leonga renewed their fight. Sin Jing, a fruit merchant, died in Sunday's battle. Chu Fan is suffering from a severe wound, but will live to be tried for murder. Seven other Chinamen are under arrest, while the district occupied by the Chinese is like an armed camp today. Fifty additional policemen are on guard and only occasionally does a Chinaman appear on the street. When compelled by business to go out the dodge under cover as quickly as possible. Police Captain Hodgins declared to
day that it was only by a miracle that
more persons did not lose their lives in Sunday's conflict as narrow Pell street was crowded with hundreds of
persons, including sight-seeing visitors. The On Leongs seized the opportunity offered by a celebration of the Four Brothers Society over the acquittal of Chu Hen on a charge o murder to make a raid which had apparently been planned for some time in advance. More than sixty shots were fired in the brief conflict and then both factions took to flight be
fore the police.

DEMAND FOR LABOR
And the Available Harvest Hands Are Now Organizing a Union. THEY ASK FOR BIG WAGES
(American News Service) Spokane, Wash., June 28. Taking advantage of the shortage of harvest laborers in the Pacific Northwest, where the grain crop this season is estimated at more than 100,000,000 bushels, several organizers, not affiliated with any of the recognized labor bodies, are working in eastern Washington and Oregon to form a Farm Hands' Union, the purpose being to raise the minimum wage of laborers to $3.50 for a day of eight hours. The scale for sack-sewers and forkers is fixed at $3 a day, while the pay of machine men will be increased from $6.50 to $7 to from $10 to $12 a day. Efforts are being made by ranchers and orchardists to bring men into the country from eastern, central and southern states, and in addition to these it is likely that students from a dozen or more colleges in various parts of the country can be enlisted to assist In harvesting the grain, grass and fruit crops. Several attempts have been made in Washington and Oregon to organize
farm laborers, but so far they have not
been successful. However, the farmers admit that if an organization could be
formed they would have to pay almost
any price demanded by the men.
Frank Trader, who appears to be the head of the organizers, says it is
purposed to form a local union in ev
ery grain district in Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho and Montana. He declares that the present scale, ranging from $.50 to $7 a day, is not high enough, "especially," he adds, "at a time when the farmers will be glad to pay more rather than leave their crops in the field. Fifty cents is the initiation fee and we will have enough members at the start to see ' the thing through. Our members won't work with those
not Identified with the organization.'

T STOLEN HORSE
Chief of Police Gormon today mailed
to police departments throughout eastern Indiana and Western Ohio, cards
bearing a description of a horse and
phaeton hired in Richmond yesterday by a stranger, and which have not been seen since. The outfit belongs to the L. N. Cox livery barn, North Seventh street, and was obtained by an
unknown man at about nine in the

short drive Into the country. The mat
ter was reported to the police last
night
The description on the cards is that
of a gray mare, and of a phaeton with
black running gear and black trim
mings. The man was of medium size
and about twenty-three years old, and
was clad in a striped brown suit.

Wayne county farmers knocked off from their work in the fields yesterday and came to town to buy muzzles for their horses. They say this warm rain is making the corn grow so .rapidly that it will be so tall the horses will be eating it ' unless muzzled at the next plowing. No farmer Is kicking on the present downpour. Every one of them can figure it out in dollars and cents just what it is going to be worth to him. A ' good many farmers had begun to
get a little discouraged over the out
look for the corn crop. The comparative light rainfall of the last few weeks, coupled with the threat of a
midsummer drought, had set some of
them guessing. Their faces brightened amazingly today. Some of them feel that the rain that has fallen in
the last twenty-four hours has practi
cally made the 1910 corn crop for Wayne county. Tomato growers, too,
are feeling good. . Growing crops of all
kinds will be very greatly benefited
by the rain. It is great stuff fr the gardens and a help that counts for
the orchards and berry patches.
It is probable that there will be
some wheat cut in Wayne county this
week. Farmers say that if the pres
ent rain be followed by a few days of sunshine, the wheat crop will ripen
with great rapidity. Many fields are
already showing golden. These, if the
weather favors, will be ready for the
binder by Friday or Saturday. Next week, however, probably will be the big week in the wheat harvest of the
county.
Meadows are rapidly nearing the
time they will be ready for the mower.
They are looking fairly good, consid
ering the lack of sufficient rainfall in
the earlier part of the summer. They
will not be as heavy as in some years that have gone before, but it is
thought their yield will be of excel
lent quality, the fields being much
freer from white-top and other growths
than they are usually.
They Pegged the Hole.
Lord Coleridge was oace the victim of the varsity men at Oxford. He was addressing a large audience there when he used the phrase: "We must remember not merely the beauty of the individual colleges, but the beauty of Oxford as a whole. And what a whole
it is!"
"Hear, hear!" yelled the varsity men.
"Yes, what a hole!" they groaned. "What a . beastly hole!"
Then it dawned upon Lord Coleridge that thi3 was a thing he would rather have expressed otherwise. London Tit-

ton and Monday They Met in Richmond.
NOMINATE A CONGRESSMAN
The adoption of a platform closely
following the state and national policies of the party, and the nomination of William L. Parkins, of Milton, for a seat in Congress, were the principal
acts of the Sixth District Socialist Con

A remarkable feature about the phy
siques of reigning European monarchs
is that they are nearly all shorter than their consorts. King George V is sev
eral inches shorter than Queen Mary,
The German Empress is a trifle taller
than the Kaiser, who always insists
on the empress sitting down when they are photographed together. Czar Nicholas II looks quite small by the side of the -czarina. Alfonso of Spain Is a head shorter than Queen Victoria Eugenie, and the King of Italy hardly reaches to the shoulder of Queen Helena. The Queen of Denmark too is a good deal taller than her husband. Exceptions to the rule are the king of Norway and the new king of the Belgians. The latter is six feet two inches in height and the tallest king in Europe. M. A. P.

Washington. D. C, June 2S. United States District Judge Page Morris,
holding court in Iowa, has decided that the federal law regulating the hours of service of train crews on Interstate
railroads was constitutional.
The attorneys for the defendant
The Illinois Central railroad attack
ed the constitutionality of the law on
thirteen different grounds. Their prin
cipal reliance, however, was upon the decision of the United States supreme court in the employers' liability cases.
Text of Court Decision.
In its statement the commission
says:
"In the interpretation of the hours of service act, which limits the service of the train crew to sixteen hours
in any twenty-four hours period, the
court held .that; the performance by the engineer of duties required by the rules of the company in preparation for a trip during the half hour previous to the scheduled time for the departure of a train from an initial terminal, made such engineer 'on duty' during such half hour, and that this
time must be included in the time of permitted service. I
The case was a test case, the state
ment concludes. It was the first decision by any court upon the constitu
tionality of the law and the first judicial i?rpretation of its provisions.
Injunction is Dismissed. In accordance with the agreement
reached between railroad presidents
and President Taft, United States District Attorney Charles H. Houts today, at St. Louis, asked for the dismissal on the injunction suit brought in the United States circuit court by the gov
ernment against railroads composing the Western trunk line committee to restrain the proposed Increase in freight rates. Judge Dyer who signed the restraining order at Hannibal. - ordered the suit dismissed on District Attorney Houts motion.
