LEAD SCHEDULE IS
FOR WEARYSENRTORS
After Four Hours of Hot Air
Mr. Cummius Lost His
Amendment.
BEVER1DOE WAS IT
WASHINGTON, May 10.- Aftnr
several hours consideration of the
lead schedule Jn the senate today dur
ing which ntimarks made by a num
ber of senators. Mr. Cummins amend
ment reducing the duty on- pig 1' ad
from 2 to 1 cents a pound and
the differential from cents as rec
ommended by the committee on fi
nance, to cents per pound was lost
by a vote of 35 to 44.
There was much interest In the vote
as it wa considered a bt of th'
strength of the republican insurgents.
Of the thirty-five vot-s tst for the
amendment, elevn were cast by re publican
senators, but Hoy were not
sufficient. The committee won with
four votes to spare. The republicans
voting for the reduction were:
Beverldge, Burton, Burk'tt, Clapp,
Crawford.. Cummins. IVilllver. Gam
ble. La Follette-and Nelson. Senators
ttnh . rv.iorodo. and McKnery.
Louisiana, democrats, voted against,
the amendment.
Inferring in the debate preceding
in voi in the criticism which he
said had been heaped upon certain
Benators. Mr. Nelson said he was tired
of being lectured about the sched
ules f Jh hill and the orthodox of
the repubHran party. "l-ct us r-cog-j
nize the fact." he said, -that tie tariff
bill is just like the rivers an.' h:irb..rs
bill. You tickle me and I II tickle
you. You give us what we want on
the Pacific coast for our lead ore and
our citrus fruits, and we will tickle
the people of New England nix! gt"-'
them what they want on their cotton
goods." But. he tald, the people who
stood between these two el-meets
were being ground between the upper
and lower mill stones.
"We are willing. howeveT." he ex
Claimed, "to accept reasonable reduc
tions of our products, but how Is It
with the rest of vou?''
After the vote on tho Cummins
resolution Mr Beverldge moved, to
, reduce the differential one-quarter of
a cent and P t length in sup
port of bis motion. .

MANY MILLIONS
WERE THROWN AWAY
Inquiry 'May Result In The
Saving of $70,000,000
Every Year
( liy Mielilon S. Cllne )
WASHINGTON. May 10. A s.nsa
tlon Is promised when the senate
committee on appropriations reports
the results of its investigation of de
partniental expenditures. Ex-Senator
llemcnway, of Indiana, who was re
tained by the committee to manage
the details of the Inquiry, is under
stood to have covered some very as
tonishing situations. amounting in
some instance. to systems of misrep
resentation rovcilng l"iK periods of
Hears. Millions of dollars have been
appropriated by congress, it is assert
ed because congress was misled as to
the facts.
I aiormous !aviiurs.
An idea of the magnitude of the
thing may be gained from the fait
that It is alleged that as a result of the
Inquiry it will be possible to curtail
appropriations by not less than sev
enty 'millions of dollars a year. It is
not to be understood, of course, that
tile amounts appropriated as the re
sult of misrepresentation amount to
anything like this sum. It is proba
ble that the misrepresentation was de
liberate only In a small number of
instances, anil the committee may not
seek to prove these instances at all.
But the fact (hat seventy millions of
dollars a year 'can be saved without
impairing the efficiency of adminis
tration Is ample evidence that some
people have been guilty of gross care
lessness, to say the least.
If such a condition exists tlv blame
cannot be made to rest wholly on the
executive department. The appro
priations committees of the house and
senate are supposed to satisfy them
selves of the necessity of appropria
tions before they recommend seventy
millions a year or more than waa
necessary. It will he difficult to con
vince the public that' these commit
tees have been very earnest o thels
scrutiny of estimates.
