President Attacked
For His Use of Fund
WASHINGTON, June 14. Charging that
President Taft had misused the $25,000
travelling expense fund voted yearly by
congress, Chairman Fitzgerald of the
house appropriations committee today bit
terly attacked the president during con
sideration of the sundry civil appropria
tion bill. He declared the president on
his recent western trip had mulcted the
accompanying newspaper and secret ser
vice men in spite of protests, to bolster
his depleted funds.
"It is deplorable," lie said "to have to
state these facts to this house and to
the country."
Mr. Fitzgerald declared, however, that
he would vote for the item which even
tually was adopted 78 to 55. He said face
tiously that he believed It would "pay
the democratic party and the country if
the president travelled jthe year around."
He then referred directly to the presi
dent's western trip.
"What happened in order to enable him
to make this trip?" he demanded. "The
cost of a special train to be utilized by
the president in that trip was figured
out in advance. The pro rata cost of each
person was figured out and every news
paper man who accompanied that train
was requested to pay $1,500 to pay for
his expenses. Out of the fund for the
suppression Of counterfeiting and the pro
tection of the president of the United
States, $4,500 was taken to defray the ex
penses upon the train of three employes
of the secret service against the protest
of the acting chief of the secret service
that to do so would create a deficiency
In that appropriation."
Former Speaker Cannon, Representative
Gillette of Massachusetts and Repre
sentative Shirley of Kentucky, democrat,
argued in favor of the item. They held
it was necessary that the president see
the country and that the country see the
president.
Mack Finds Hall
Very Satisfactory
BALTIMORE, . Md., June 14. National
Chairman Mack came to Baltimore to
night, and after officially opening the
headquarters of the democratic national
committee at the Belvedere, made an
inspection of the convention hall. The
national chairman was accompanied from
New York by National Committeeman
Roger Sullivan of Illinois, Secretary
Xjrey Woodson of Kentucky and Assist
ant Treasurer J. P. Doolin. The party
was joined here by National Committee
man Goltra of Missouri, who spent the
day in Washington conferring with
Speaker Champ Clark.
Chairman Mack and his fellow national
committeemen were delighted with the
convention hall.
"What about the presidential candi
dates?" was asked.
"I can say there will be no serious
conferences on the presidential nomina
tion until after the Chicago convention,"
replied Chairman Mack, who added that
the principal planks In the Baltimore
platform would be the tariff, the high
cost of living, and the trusts.
Independent Firms
Win in Competition
NEW YORK, June 14.-Testimony in
effect that bridge companies which are
independent of the United States Steel
corporation have been able to obtain
bridge and other structural contracts in
open competition with the American
Bridge company, a United States Steel
subsidiary, was given today during the
continued hearing of the government
suit to dissolve the steel corporation.
"Something very serious the matter
with our monopoly," was the ironical
comment made by David Reed of counsel
for the steef corporation, when he had
listened to this testimony which in
cluded the naming of a number of in
dependent companies which had been
successful In getting contracts.
The witness responsible for this testi
mony was J. V. W. Reynders, who for
six years had been vice president of the
Pennsylvania Steel company, an inde
pendent, and had charge of the bridge
2r i artment of that company for fifteen
years.

Mayor Hoctor Hesitate Before
Appointing Tax Collectors.
TWO CANDIDATES FOR POSITION
E. E. E. Ridgeway and William
Powell Leading In Race for the
Place Southireat Residents
Want Car Service.
Notwithstanding the splendid campaign
made by City Treasurer Gillin to IncroaM
his force of employes in the office of
the treasurer, there will be no additional
tax collectors appointed this week an!
probably none at all until Treasurer
Gillin has demonstrated that his office
force is overburdened with work.
Mayor Thomas Hoctor, who stands op
posed to any unwarranted increase of
expenses, however specious the pretext
be, announced last night that he ha I
not appointed any tax collectors and
would not Further, the mayor added
that he was not quite sure that the coun
cil had any right to appoint or authorize
the appointment of collectors of persona!
taxes. His honor announced that he had
consulted on the question with Assistant
City Attorney Sam Winters, who stated
that it was the sole duty of the city
treasurer to collect the taxes and that
withoue any extra help, unless the need
for the same could be shown beyond the
peradventure of a doubt.
As matters now stand two candidates for
the position are in the field, E. E. E.
Ridgeway, who formerly collected taxes
has been considered as best fitted for
the place in case of an appointment.
William Powell, another aspirant, an
nounced yesterday that he had six coun
cllmen pledged to support him for the
place. Ridgeway and others state that
In no case would the conditions warrant
the appointment of two men.
Probably between now and Monday the
council will be enjoined from assuming
the duties that are incumbent upon City
Treasurer John Gillin to collect the taxes
It is not thought probable that Gillin will
invite attention to his already large
office force, insisting that extra men be
appointed to carry out the auty be him
self is sworn to execute.
Want Car Extension.
As was announced in The Bee some
days ago a new agitation among the
citizens for increased street car service
is now on In South Omaha. Residents
In the southern and western sections of
the city have circulated petitions seeking
to force the street car company to ex
tend the L street or Cross-town line from
Thirty-fifth and L to Forty-fourth and L
streets. This extension when made will
afford street car facilities to a part of
the city which is now more or less segre
gated from the rest of the city. In the
southern portion of the city residents
have sought to have the street car
system extended along Twentieth street
to Railroad avenue. The pet i Liens will be
presented to the city council and to the
street car company.
