( Special Washington Correspondent)
Washington, June 17.? Thirty-five
dollar wastepaper baskets. $2 9 s
desks and $$30 tables were some of
the little economies effectd by Post
master General Hitchcock In refurn
ishing his "red room" and "brown
room" offices. These and other Ex
amples of republican extravagance
were revealed In testimony taken by
the house committee on expenditures
In the post office department.
Mr. Hitchcock sanctioned the ex
penditure of $7,6?0 In refurnishing
three rooms. $4,8oo of which went
to furnishing the postmaster general s
private office alone.' Circassian wal
nut furnishings especlslly designed
and manufactured, and specially de
signed carpets and draperies furn
ished the nucleus of this expendi
ture.
In ao Instance were bids advertis
ed for, or competition permitted.
The lucky dealer had but to state hl?
price and secure an order upon the
treasury. Five hundred and forty
dollars purchased two mahogany dav
enports for American royalty; $330 1
brought In two arm chairs; $98 pro-|
duced a table; 9296 purchased s m
ond desk, and $160 a third. A ward
robe to faaag coats In co?t #166; . One
nif was purchased at $*83.75. Dra
peries tor one room cost $600. Par
quetry flooring in one room et
$2?S. A telephone table cost $64. It
coat $362 to "scrape" the woodwork
in the private office preparatory In
new fl. JSh.
Bu?livwaa the measure of Mr. Hitch
cock's ecdnomy in matters pertain
ing to his own personsl comfort. In
matters concerning the employees ?
the railway mall clerks for instance
? he followed entirely different lines
of proceedure.
_Mr. Hitchcock figured it out one
day that by making three men do
the^work of four, he could make a rec
ord for economy in the railway mall
division. The already overworked
railway mall clerks were driven be
yond the limit of endurance. Condl
tiona In the west especlslly In the
tenth division, became Intolerable.
Open rebellion broke out on the
Pierre-Tracq line, the men refusing
to do the extra work imposed upon
them. Ten men were suspended.
Then five of them were reinstated,
but refused to return to work with
out their associates. This aroused
the whole northwest. The clerks
met In mass msetlng at 8t. Paul, Mln.
They are now forcing the postmaster
gsnersl to relent his plans to econo
mise by overworking the railway
mall boys.
8t range working of the Hitchcock
economy bump also caused the post
master General to pay thV full year
?alary of $6,000 to A. W. Lawnhe.
third assistant postmaster general,
while the latter sojourned In New
Mexico recuperating In health and
looking after the Interests of the re
publican party, but performing no
government service whstever.
8 till another example of Hitchcock
economy was hie appointment of a
pseudo "lame duck commission" of
four of Intimate friends and staunch
political supporters to go on s sort of
Holy Grail conquest at the govern
ment's expense. The commission in
vestigated "time recorders" in vari
ous cities, and managed to disburse
n expenses sums thst would have
gone a long way toward making un
necessary ths discharge of railway
mall clerks.
The average amount spent by each
of the committee for ssbslsteece was
between nine and ten dollars m day.
indicating thai Mr. Hltofceock's
friends had healthy appetites. Trans

portation expenses for each man for
a period of less thsn two months,
averaged 1300. Among many Items
of expenditure chsrged to and paid
by Uncle 8am, appear barber fees,
bath charges, telephone bills, shines,
news stand chsrges. in fsct almost
everything possible in such a cate
gory except laundry, cigars and flow
ers. The Hotel W lllartl In Washlng
toa, the Astor in New York and kin
dred hostelrles were employed to shel
ter jthe government emmlssarles. Por
ter feea average 50 cents. The "com
mls^oners" always purchased Pull
man tickets, andcsb fsres are thickly
sprinkled among the vouchers. Some
times the commissioners trsveled

hooves any weM-ordered, pleasure

How gratifying all this must be
to the discharged postal clerks while
they sit and figure out how much the
government Is "ssvlng" on them.
Senate Commlfcteesnip*
The senste committees are now
all formed fo rthe seeslon. Some of
the committee appointments appear
to have been singularly appropriat
ed.
Senator Dupont is chairman of the
senate committee on military affaire.
It la appropriate to the last degree
that Da Pont should bead thla com
mittee, Inasmuch aa the senator Is
the head o f the powder trust.
It la appropriate too. that Senator
Guggenheim should be made chair
man of the committee op the Phil
ippines, and a member of the com
mittee on agriculture and forestry,
on conservstlon of natural resources,
mines and mining and public lands.
Conalderlng Guggenheim's connec
tion with tbe Morgan-Guggenheim .
Alaska syndicate, notorious for Its
exploltstion projects and lu prom
inence In the Bellinger ecandal, it
is singularly appropriate the commit
teeships happened to tall as they
did.
Senator Crane Is a member of the
committee on Interstate and foreign
commerce When tbe late Mr. Elk
Ins was Its heed tbe committee re
ferred blUs Intended to curb the tele
graph and telephone monopoly to a
sub-committee of which Crane waa
chairman. Crane Is the largest hold
er of telephone and telegraph- and
general electric stock In the world.
The bills nerer got out of commit
tee pigeonholes.
Moil appropriate (or Inappropri
ate) of all is the appointment of Sen
ator Lorlmer to the committee on ag
riculture and forestry. Aa a member
of the house committee on agricul
ture, Lorlmer fought the pure food
bills and antl-butterlne law for the
Chios to beef trust, and there ts Ut
ile doubt but that the stock yarda
boas la under sren ssore obligations
to tbe beef trust now than be was
white a representees ^
It will be noted that the designa
tion of this committee la the
Is "agrlouttars and forestry." Lari

CALLS ON ATTORNEY GENERAL

TOR* WHO RESTRAIN TRADE
THE LAW IS CLEAR
Washington. June 17. ? Criminal
prosecution of the officers of the
Standard Oil Company and the Amer
ican Tobacco Company was demand
ed yesterday by 8enator Pomerane.
who addressed the senate ?>n his res
olution calling on the attorney gen
eral to undertake auch legal action.
The Ohio senator declared at the out
sent that the 8herman anti-trust liw
was specific in lts? authority to preae
auch a ault against conspirators who
restrain trade. He ^contended that
the lawyers" doubta of tho meaning
of the statute were "In proportion to
the slxe of the fee* they receive from
their clients" and that the interpret
ation of tho law by the supreme court
of the United States was clear.
"Now with theae plain findings of
fact and conclusions by the court that
this atatute has been violated." he
said, "what reason can be given by
any aworn court official for not con
tinuing hia fight against them In or
der to bring them to the bar of Just
ice? What ezcuae can any lawmaker
o.- any executive official give to the
people of thla country for a failure
to enfore- thla law when they are
svery day exerting themselves 40
punish Inflection* of the law agaioet
Oih* transgreaaoem wU* lees *^er
and leas influence at their command?
K decent Muse o t Mil-naiMct requir
es Ihe government either to enforce
this law pr to repeal It," ** ''
Mr. Pomerene said that the ruling
of the 8upreme Court must be follow
ed up quickly In the most vlgoroue
faahlon. "or the frulta of thoae vic
tories will be lost to the government
and to the people."
"Speaking for myaeJf," he said, 4IS
think it Is hlbh time that the Ameri
can people should understand wheth
er the Stars and 8tripea are to be
the emblem of their power and au
thority of whether that emblem shall
be the tobacco tag."
He declared that there was prece
dent for Ma resolution of lnatructloa
to the attorney general lnaamuch as
the latter had failed to undertake the
criminal litigation, although It la
provided for In the antl-truat law.
"The attorney-general la but a cre
ature of the lajr,' he aald. "Hia of
fice waa created by Congreee. Ha la
Clothed with auch powers and requir
ed to perform auch duties aa congress
aeea fit to demand of him. It can
add to or it can take away from thoe*
powers whenever In Ita judgment it
is deemed proper."
Senator Pomerene closed with an
appeal to the senate for support for
the resolution.
