Washington, Feb. 10.—Debate on the
Indian appropriation bill under the
five-minute rule was resumed in the
house today. At the very outset poli-
tics was injected into the proceedings,
when Mr. Leake, a Democrat of New
Jersey, denounced William J. Bryan
and his methods. Several Republicans
and Democrats objected because he was
not speaking to the bill. By unani-
mous^ consent, however, he was al-
lowed to proceed.
Mr. Leake said he had been surprised
at the usurpation of the prerogative*
of the delegates to the Denver conven-
tion next July. There were some men.
he charged, who believed that this was
the time, the house and th* place to
nominate a candidate.on the Democrat-
ic ticket, "and,” he said, "unless my si-
lence might be construed as an in-
dorsement of the nomination of Wil-
liam J. Bryan, I rise for the purpose of
making this protest.
"If," proceeded Mr Leake. "I adopt-
ed the example of Mr. Bryan, I would
vehemently condemn, as he did, the
distinguished Democrat, Hon. Grover
Cleveland."
But he would, he said, content him-
self with admitting that Mr. Bryan
was honest, consistent mid sincere.
•He declared, however, that Mr. Bry-
an's familiarity with the decalogue
better qualified him for the house than
for tli* presidency.
Republican laughter greeted this ut-
terance. which immediately afterward
was supplemented by Democrtalc hisses
until Mr. Leake said of Mr. Bryan.

that he be given sole charge of the

Aldrich Opena Debate on .ills Financial
Bill.
Washington, Feb. 10.—Senator Aldrich
of Rhode Island, chairman of the sen-
ate committee on finance, opened the
debate in the senate today on his bill
to provide an emergency currency. He
was listened to with great attention
by Republicans and Democrats alike,
while in the galleries was • large
crowd. Among others was J. P Mor-
gan. who remaided throughout the de-
livery of the speech. During the de-
bate Senator Foraker made reply to
the President’s statement regarding the
use of the appointing power for po-
litical purposes and had letters read
showing the President’s attitude in one
case.
Senator Depew defended the course
of the secretary of the treasury in de-
positing public funds in New York
banks.
The criminal code bill was again
oonaldered and at 4:30 p. m. the senate
adjourned.

chant on an equal footing Thia is. It

believe that the visit East was«princi-
pally to secure funds for needed im-
senate," for long terms so as to insure
the continuity of efficient service.
Under this plan, the postmaster gen-
eral, as a member of the cabinet, is
chargeable with general supervisory
control and the department of ques-
tions of policy.
The commission also recommends
that the business of the department be
deeentralized*so as to avoid the con-
gestion at the national capital which
impairs the efficiency of Nie service;
that the bookkeeping, auditing and ae-
counting be nimplliied, unified ad
centralised to secure greater accuracy,
more prompt snath os and elimination
of duplication of work; and that the
practice of requiring needless de-
tailed report* from small postoffices
he discontinued.
The moderate application of the non-
accounting system to small offices will
eliminate about 50,090, or nearly one-
half of -the pnstal Accounts from tha
omplexed reg ort and bookkeeping sys-
temeeor woud at least, greatly simplify
The commission says:
"It appears too obvious to require
argument that the most efficient serv-
ice can never be expected as long as
the direction or the business is, as at
present intrusted to a postmaster gen-
eral and assistants, selected without
special reference to experience and
qualifications and subject to frequent
change. Under such a system, a large
railroad, commerctal or industrial en-
terprise would inevitably go into bank-
ruptcy. and the postoffice department
has averted that fate only because the
United States treasury has been avall-
‘able to meet deficiencies."
Submitted with th* report of the com-
mission is a report of considerable vol-
ume from two New York accounting
firms which were Assigned to the in-

( an‛t Imagine Why Foraker Did Not
Read AS.
Washington, Feb. ’10—The reading
by Senator Foraker hi the senate to-
day of certain correspondence between
Representative Douglas of Ohio and C.
H. Brysom. postmaster of Athens, Ohio,
in support of the charge that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has ntilize4 federal of-
fires to ad vane • the political fortunes
of Secretary Taft caused Mr. Douglas
on the floor ox the house of repre-
sentatives tn read another letter of
his to Mr Brysom, which, he said, Mr
Foraker had failed to read. Mr. Doug-
las said he was unable to understand
how Mr. Foraker came by the letters,
which were private, nr why he failed
tn read all of them, urless if Wes that
he did not have them.
The letter was in reply to one from
Brysom, who had acknowledged himself
a Foraker man and who had made the
assrtion thet the President would not
Appoint such men to public office.
In his letter to Mr. Brysom; Mr
Douglas declared that he was making
a mountain out ot a mole hill and in
order to disabuse his mind about the*
President’s feeling toward candidates
for public offiee he suggested that Mr.
Brysom come to Washington and have
a talk with the President
Mr Douglas declared that he had
recommended Mr Brysom for the post-
mastership and the President had ap-
pointed him.

Mrs. Fisher was horrified beyond

find what had happened, but the child
was dead when she came in. Mr. Fish-

idy tablet*. They are sold by all druggists, but never
on the cross of socialism."
The President thus being deprived of
his big stjek, Mr. Leake declared, has
resorted to the big slipper.
Mr. Leake expressed the opinion that
the American people Gid not need
spanking from the President or scold-
ing from Mr Bryan, to the latter of
whom he sarcastically referred as ".the
gentleman from Nebraska.” He thought
the health of the American communi-
ty was such that a doctor was needed
and he hoped that either of the two
great political parties would get one
and that in his administration of the
remedies for the cure of the many ills,
he would not forget to commend th®
American railroads; that th* American
railroad system is on® of the greatest
in the world, and that American busi-
ness men and enterprise were the best
on earth.
Mr. Leake provoked laughter when
he expressed the hope that one o the
two political parties would nominate
"a specialist in statesmanship."
"If that should be,” he declared, 'the
center aisle of the chamber would no
longer mark the difference between
Dencerats and Republicans, but the
difference between radicals and con-
servatives "
"Will the gentleman name th* doc.
tort" interjected Mr. Gaines of Ten--
nesjke.
"I don’t propose to name the doctor."
Mr Leake replied. ‘I think It is the
privilege of the delegates to tha Chi-
cago and Denver conventions."
When the gentleman talks about
railroads and the good things they
have done for the country," interjected
Mr. Shackelford of Missouri, "did he
have in mind Mr. Harrhman?’
Mr. Leake replied that he did not, but
said he referred to th fact that Amer-
ican railroads bad given cheaper and
better service than the railroads of any
other country.
Messrs. Heflin of Alabama and Hep-
burn of Iowa were on their feet, each
protesting that Mr. lake was out of
order, but at that juncture Mr. Leake's
time expired and he took his seat amid

that was his home city. The amount

he insisted, did not justify its mafn-

He thought it would be “a wise thing
to send that warehouse after him."
On Mr Fitzgerald's point of order
the warehouse was put into a category

The letter contained a declartalon of
political independenc* so far as ex-

that while he would like to continue
in office, he would not do *o by the
sacrifice of his independence, and the
President could have the office foi
some one who was willing to carry out
his personal wishes in all matters.
Mr Foraker characterized the letter
by Mr. Brysom "an able, frank, ''andid
statement, with no beating about the
bush in it. He said that he supposed
Mr. Douglas had laid it before the
President and asked that the President
send in the nomination. Mr Foraker
gave the President entire credit for
seeing the justice of such a course, in

Bryaom to the criticism that he had
made of him.
Mr. Foraker asserted he could es-
