Cuts Appropriation From
Postoffice Bill, Which
Will End Service by

"Pork Barrel* Cry Is Raised;

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.?The $850,
: 000 which the House Postofflce Com?
mittee put in the postoffice appropria?
tion bill for continuing the air mail
sen-ice next year between Washington
and New York and New York and
Chicago went out to-day on a point of
order and without a vote. Unless the
Senate restores it when the measure
goes to that body and it is accepted in
conference the service will be discon?
tinued Juno 30. There was no vote on
the item to which pbjection was made
by Representative Tincher. Republican,
of Massachusetts. His point was sus?
tained by Representative Walsh, Re?
publican, Massachusetts. Speaker pro
tempore, although many members be?
lieved on a vote it would have been
retained in the bill. .
The fight against the $850,000 was
led by Republican Floor Leader Mon
dell, backed by Representative Mad?
den, Republican, and opposed by Repre
< . scntatives Mann and Longworth, two
other Republican members. Demo?
cratic leaders sought to increase the
amount to $3,000,000, as recommended
by the Postoffice Department.
Make Charge of "Pork"
Mr. Mondell declared the air mail
service is not economical and denied
that through it the maiTs are expedited.
He called the provision "pork barrel"
legislation.
"As a matter of fact," said the Re?
publican floor leader, "the mail is not
expedited through this air mail serv?
ice. As to the Washington-New York
service it is extremely doubtful if
there is any expedition, and this doubt
extends to that between New York and
Chicago. No man. living, who is cap?
able of sound thinking, but knows the
government cannot afford to carry all
first-class mail bv airplane."
"It would cost ?5,000,000,000 to do
that," interjected Representative Mad?
den.
"I have not figured out its cost," said
Mr. Mondell, continuing, "but I know
it would cost too much. Talk about
pork barrel legislation! There is noth?
ing that ever has been before Congress
that is quite as clear and definite a
piece of pork barrel legislation as this
proposition to expedite the mail by air?
plane here, there and everywhere." He
said boards of trade and chambers of
commerce naturally favor legislation
of this kind for the purpose of adver?
tising their communities. He pointed
out that it costs $5.25 a ton mile to
carry mail by airplane, against 6 cents
a ton mile by train. He asked the Re?
publican members to stand behind their
pledges for economy.
Representative Madden said the air
'.?aho service would be one of increas
rg cost and make the postoffice ap?
propriation bill as much of a pork
?errel measure as public buildings bills
'. r rivers and harbors legislation. He
? ??.id such legislation would lead to
rivalry among cities for the service
r.nd eventually would run into the
hundreds of millions.
Unified Control Plea
Representative Mann opposed elimi?
nation of the item and urged unified
aovernnient control of government
aviation activities. "It* we want to
:naintain efficiency of the army, the
navy and the Postoffice Department,"
raid Mr. Mann, "and at the ??ame time
encourage aviation, we should have
unified control of aviation activities
and develop the science of flying. IS
we are going to spend $50,000,000 o:
$100,000,000 every year for experiment?
ing in aviation in the army and navy
alone, in time of peace, the people
will shortly conclude that we are wast?
ing money which might be devoted to
carrying of the mails and other useful
work. The only practical thing is to co- ?
ordinat? these activities. That is what !
the War and Navy departments fear." ;
Mr. Longworth said he favored econ
Oiny, but said the House should encour
age aviation in all possible ways and !
should not stand in the way of prog- j
ress in that science. *
Otto Praeger, Second Assistant Posi?
ng aster General, in charge of the air
mail service, said to-night the service
must be discontinued June 30 unless
the item is restored by the Senate.
"We will be able to and will continue
the service up to that date," said Mr.
Praeger. "After that we have no
authority in law to continue the service
unless C?ongress provides for it in the
meantime by separate legislation."

Water Power Bill
Passes in Senate
By Vote of 3 toi
Follows Generally Measure
That Has Been Before
Congress in One Form or
Another for Last Decade
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.?-By a vote
of almost 3 to 1 the Senate to-day
passed the water power development
bill, different in some respects from
the measure adopted by the House in
July, but following in a general way
the same bill that has been before
Congress in one form or another for
the last decade.
Five Republicans and thirteen Demo?
crats voted against it, while Senator
Nelson, Republican, Minnesota, who
'was in charge of the fight for passage
and who had stood his ground against
every effort to defeat it, got 62 votes
in its favor. The bill was sent to con?
ference for adjustment of House and
Senate differences.
Vote Against Bill
Those voting against the bill were:
Republicans?Borah, Gronna, Ken
yon, Lenroot and McCormick.
Democrats?Gore, Harris, Harrison,
Kirby, McKellar, Nugent, Reed, Robin?
son, Sheppard, Stanley, Trammel];
Walsh, of Massachusetts, and Williams.
Senate conferees on the water power
bill were appointed as follows:
Jones, of Washington; Nelson,
Smoot, Fall, Republicans; and Bank
head and Myers, Democrats. \
Just before the final vote was taken
the Senate reconsidered its former ac?
tion and restored an amendment which
would limit the government license
charge on water power projects to 25
cents per horsepower developed. Sen?
ator Lenroot, Republican, of Wiscon?
sin, who opposed the amendment, de?
clared it was' a concession to special
interests and expressed the opinion
that it was calculated to invite a Pres?
idential veto.
The bill as passed by the Senate pro?
vides for creation of a Federal water
power commission, composed of the
secretaries of War, the Interior and
Agriculture, which would be author?
ized, after investigation, to issue li- ;
censes for development of water power ;
projects "for a reasonable annual !
charge." The licenses would run for
fifty years.
Right Given to IT. S.
The measure further provides that
the Federal commission shall cooperate
with the states and other Federal
agencies, that there shall be no charge
on state and municipal power projects,
and that industrial plants developing I
less than 200 horsepower shall not be !
required to pay a license. On two
years' notice in writing the United
States would have the right, at the
expiration of a license, to take over and
operate plants.
Power plants now in operation would
not come under provisions of the bill.
At the expiration of the fifty-year
license period the government would
have three courses in dealing with all
licensed projects:
Take over the plant, issue a new
license or have the original licensee
continue in operation.

Calls 'Reds' to
Testify Against
Five Socialists
Continued from page 1
quit, counsel for the Socialists, inviting
the committee members to associate
themselves with him remained unan?
swered.
Root Cannot Serve
Efforts will be made by Mr. Newton
to-day to obtain the services of some
prominet New York attorney to ap?
pear as counsel for the Judiciary Com?
mittee. Elihu Root, who was spoken
of in Albany as the choice of the com?
mittee, will be unable to serve be?
cause of urgent business In New York.
William D. Guthrie, who at the meet?
ing of the Bar Association last Tues?
day night opposed Mr. Hughes's resolu?
tion calling for the appointment of a
committee "to safeguard representa?
tive government," was asked to serve,
but declined.
The five suspended Assemblymen
yesterday were given copies of the
charges upon which they are to be
tried. After receiving the copies from
a sergeant-at-arms, who traveled from
Albany for the purpose, they held a
conference at Mr. Hillquit's home,
214 Riverside Drive. Later they is?
sued a statement complaining that the
charges were "vague and unspeci?e."
The statement said:
"Speaker Sweet promised that the
charges would be made against us in?
dividually and in detail on the question
cf our personal qualification and fit?
ness. The charges which we received
from the sergean,t-at-arms to-day give
the lie to this promise. The charges
contain nothing but vague questions
and inferences. A criminal brought
up for trial is furnished with the par?
ticulars of his alleged crime. Not so
in our case. We have not been ac?
corded even the kind of privileges ex?
tended in criminal cases.
Demand to Know Charges
"We now know no more of what we
are being charged with than we did
when the Assembly ousted us. We de?
mand to know in what particulars each
of us is guilty. We shall make this
demand when we appear for trial."
Referring to Speaker Sweet's cita?
tion of the Brigham II. Roberts case,
wherein the House of Representatives
refused to seat ithe Mormon Repre?
sentative from Utah before he had
taken the oath of office, the Socialists
declared this could not be considered
a precedent.
"The Roberts case is entirely dif?
ferent," said Samuel De Witt, one of
the suspended Socialists. "Roberts
never was suspended from his legisla- ,
tive duties because he never assumed ?
"them, while we were sworn in and took
part in the organization of the As?
sembly, including tho election of a
Speaker. Mr. Sweet's attempt to make
a precedent out of the Mormon case
is absurd."
Mr. Hillquit made public ? a letter
from James A. Allen, an attorney, who,
referring to tho Assembly's action,
said: "This is the most revolutionary
act which has taken place in this coun?
try since the flag was fired on at Fort
Sumter."
Fight to Change
'Rules for Trial
Staff Correspondence
ALBANY, Jan. 15.?A determined i
fight will be made in the Assembly i
Monday night to force the Assembly !
Judiciary Committee to change its rules j
of procedure so as to insure a trial of I
the suspended Socialist Assemblymen !
which will be above criticism.
Those who advocate a liberalizing of j
the rules are insistent that the special ?
committee of the Bar Association be '
permitted to appear'before the commit- j
tee "to represent the people."
Speaker Sweet is opposed to the ap- j
pearancc of the lawyers before the
committee except in the capacity of ?
counsel for Assemblymen Claessens,
Orr, Waldman, Solomon and Dewitt. ;
Louis M. Martin, chairman of the .Tu- ?
diciary Committee, echoes Speaker j
Sweet's sentiments.
Despite the antagonism to them |
of Speaker Sweet and Chairman Martin
the meiiihers of the special committee ,
arc planning to come here on Monday.
Some of the five, including their chair?
man, Charies E. Hughes, already havo
made reservations at local hotels. ?
It is understood that the. chief
spokesmen for Sweet and Martin on
Monday night against any change in
plans will be two members of the Tam?
many delegation, Assemblymen Louis
I Cuvillier and Martin G. McCue.
Sweet Losing Support
' "Sweet's following is fast slipping
; away from him," said Assemblyman
| Ames, "and I predict that by Monday
night he will lind that a majority of
? the House will come out openly against
! him."
The fact is that there is an almoBt
? universal expression of opinion from
i Assemblymen, Republican and Demo
1 cratic, that Speaker Sweet acted arbi
? trarily. One of Speaker Sweet's inti
i mato advisers and stanchest support?
ers said in commenting on the situa?
tion: '
"Sweet made monkeys out of us in
I the first place. But if we were to
| change our position now we would be
j making even bigger monkeys out of
j ourselves. But when it comes to the
?final vote after the Judiciary Commit
| tec report?, 1 shall vote as my con
science dictates, and nothing can pre?
vent me."
Speaker Sweet to-day issued another
typewritten statement defending the
Buspension of the Socialists. It fol?
lows:
"The impression seems to have gone
out that the action of the Assembly
in refusing to seat five of its members
pending an investigation into their
eligibility and qualifications to sit as
members was unwarranted and wholly
without precedent. I deem it my duty
therefore to concisely state the true
situation as it exists.
Convinced of His Duty
"The remarks made in debate by cer?
tain members of the Assembly during
the session of 1918 and 1919 upon legis?
lation then pending pertaining to the
successful prosecution of the war had
attracted my attention. This attitude
upon their part, together with informa?
tion which came to me from Federal in?
telligence officers, led to the adoption of
the resolution Which created the legis?
lative committee known as the Lusk
Investigating Committee, of which I as
Speaker of the Assembly, am ex officio a
member.
"My observation of these members in
legislative action, together with evidence
presented to the Lusk committee and
other information, convinced me, as it
has others, that my duty to the state
and to the nation demanded that before
these five members should be permitted
to participate in the deliberations of the
State Assembly their eligibility and
qualifications so to sit should'be passed
on by the Assembly. ?
"This decision was reached after deep
study of the subject and after consulta?
tion with men whose adherence to the
doctrine? of true Americanism cannot
be questioned.
"The impropriety of a member sitting
in a legislative body and voting upon
the adoption or rejection of a report in
respect of his conduct would seem to be
manifest and to justify his temporary
suspension. This is all that has been
done.
"The Assembly has followed the usual
orderly and well settled rules and prece?
dents in such cases."
The demand for places by newspapers
throughout the country at the trial of
the suspended Socialists, which starts
on Tuesday, promises to tax the ca- ?
pacity of the Ass. % bly Chamber. Forty i
special telegraph \\ es have been strung :
into the chamber. As many telegraph ?
operators will send over these wires the
accounts of the trial as faBt as they are i
written.
It is expected that a larger number of ;
newspapers will be represented at the :
forthcoming trial by staff correspond-!
enta than were at the impeachment of !
Governor Sulzer. There were eighty
seven newspaper men seated at the Sul- !
zer trial.
Berger Got Fair Deal,
D ailing er Declares
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.?Replying
to charges of Representative Griffin,
Democrat, New York, that the exclusion ;
of Victor Berger last week "smacked ;
too much of lynch law and established
a Vicious and dangerous precedent,"
Chairman Dallinger of the Elections
Committee told the House to-day that
"no man ever had a fairer hearing by ,
a legislative body than Berger." j
"He was permitted tc put in any evi?
dence that he saw fit." Representative
Dallinger said, "and to make any state?
ment to the committee and to the
House regardless of the rules of legal
evidence. The' committee found that
he did violate the espionage act.
"It also found that, disregarding en?
tirely the passage of this act, both be?
fore and after the act was passed,
Victor L. Beiger was the head and
front of an organized conspiracy to I
hinder, embarras? and obstruct the gov?
ernment of the United States in carry?
ing on its military operations, and to .
prevent, if possible, the United States
from winning the war with Germany.
Thus Berger was ineligible to a seat.
"The House has always insisted upon :
its power to exclude members who !
have been found disqualified, but it has i
rever abused that nower and never '
will."
Liberty Bonds Given
As Bail for 'Reds'
Facing Deportation
Weinstein, Associate of Mar
lens, One of Six Freed;
Halt to Releases on Bond
Likely To Be Called
Friends of anarchists being held on
Ellis Island scurried through New
York yesterday in quest of Liberty
Bonds to be used in obtaining bail for
the prisoners.
Although six of the aliens were re?
leased during the day. it is possible
that a halt to the general releasing of
? radicals will be called to-day. Grant
| ing freedom to the prisoners, it was
found, changed their legal status to
such an extent that conviction and ulti?
mate deportation may be impossible.
"The burden of proof is upon tha
aliens in these proceedings as they now
stand," said Percy A. Baker, superin?
tendent of Ellis island. "The deporta?
tion warrants provide that the aliens
must show cause why they should not
1 be deported. The assumption is that
, they are aliens here in violation of the
, law. It will be almost impossible to
, get a case against them if they are
! immediately released on bail. They
can balk the government by the ??imple
[ devicu of refusing to answer ques?
tions."
Meanwhile Gregorivich Weinstein,
! c!o?e associate of Ludwig C. A. K. Mar
Itens, so-called Soviet "ambassador to
j the United States," was ordered re?
leased from the island after $10,000
worth of Liberty bonds had been pro?
duced to cover his bail. This action
was taken following an announcement
by Federal Judge Knox that he would
sustain a writ of habeas corpus for
Weinstein unless he way re,eased in
I ball.
Rose Weiss, a lawyer associated with
J Charle:? Recht, presented the bail
bonds at the island and later obtained
the release of five other prisoners on
$1,000 bonds each. She announced that
she had a total of $60,000 in Liberty
bonds which she would offer to obtain
the release of other prisoners being
: held in connection with government
"Red" raids.
Harry L. Weinberger, counsellor ac?
cused "Reds" now held on Kllis Island,
issued an open letter during the "veil?
ing in which he answered an interview
with Secretary of Labor Wilson, pub?
lished in tlio morning newspapers. The
?lawyer charged that Mr. Wilson's
promise- to deport, nil advocates of
force "just as soon as ships could be
found" was unfair and unjust.

One Private Got Honor
Nev> York Tribuns
Washington Bureaf
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.?A reply
by Secretary Baker to recent remarks
by Representative Gallivan, Democrat,
of Massachusetts, and a new state?
ment by the latter added fuel to-day
to the heated controversy over the
award of war service decorations by
the War Department.
Secretary Baker in a letter to Repres
tative Gallivan emphatically denied that
General March's predecessors as chiefs
of staff?General Tasker H. Bliss and
Major Generals Hugh L. Scott and John
Biddle?were "unequal to the task" and
"were removed." The War Secretary
quoted a letter he wrote to General Per
shing previous to retirement of General
Scott in which he indicated that he
would select General March for chief
of staff aftr the retirement of General
Bliss. He also cited the war records
of each of the three and added that he
made public his letter to Mr. Gallivan
as the only means of "doing justice to
the reputations of the officers, who must
otherwise sit silent under tho imputa- |
tions contained in your speech."
Only One Private Honored
Representative Gallivan's statement j
contained figures of the awards of Dis- j
tinguished Service Medals, showing ]
only one enlisted man, "apparently by ;
error," had been honored. The medal
had been given to 554 officers and 33 ?
civilians, the Representative said. He !
added that he had no intention of "be- j
fuddling the distinguished Secretary of ?
War" in compiling a report asked for in |
a resolution introduced by Mr. Gallivan ?
and adopted by the House.
Mr. Gallivan said he did not care to
comment on the figures showing the i
distribution of the awards, but he as- ?
serted that it was his opinion that the :
"medal had bepn restricted to a much |
narrower field" than he had indicated i
in his previous remarks. He gave the I
following distribution of awards of Dis- ?
tinguished Service Medals: j
Generals, three; lieutenant generals,
two; major generals, sixty-nine; briga-1
dier generals, twelve; colonels, 265; i
lieutenant colonerfc, seventy-eight; ma-1
jors, sixteen; captains, two; lieuten-?
ants, three; chaplains, forty-three; j
sergeantn, one; corporals, none; pri- j
vates, one; civilians, male, twenty-five; i
civilians, female, nine.
The Representative from Massachu- .
setts then compared the figures with I
those of Allied nations. Whereas :
America gave out 595 Distinguished i
Service medals, including seven to for- j
eigners, France bestowed 144; Great i
Britain, seventy-nine; Italy, twenty-j
two; Belgium, nineteen; Japan, four;
Rumania, one. '
In defending his former chiefs of,
staff ? Secretary Baker pointed out in ?
his letter to Representative Gallivan j
that Generals Scott and Bliss were
retired when they reached the legal I
age for retirement and that General !
Biddle was designated a? acting chief.!
The Secretary of War quoted from \
a letter to Genera! Pershing, written :
September 10, befora General Scott j
was retired September 2:2, in which \
lie suggested that it was his "strong
desire to have a young man who has :
had some experience in France" take i
up the duties as Chief of Staff when i
General Bliss was retired on Decem- !
ber 31.
Secretary Baker went, on to say that :
he had considered selecting General j
March for the position to increase the
coordination between Washington and
the expeditionary forces. He realized.
he said, that bringing General March
back "might be a serious loss to you
and I have by no means decided upon :
him (General March) for tha place, '?
but I would like to have your judg- '
ment on this question." 1
General Pershing concurred in the j
opinion of Secretary Baker and gave ;
General March "immediate and com- I
plete opportunity to study the entire
situation in France."
John J. White Found Dead

Famous Scotch Scholar and
Educator Was Genius Be?

Growth of Big School
BOSTON, Jan. 15. ? Richard C.
MacLaurin, president of the Massa?
chusetts Institute of Technology and a
scholar of international fame, died at
his home here late to-day of pneu?
monia. He had been ill since last
Saturday.
vRichard Cockburn MacLaurin gained
,a reputation in this country, Great
Britain, New Zealand and -Canada as
a physicist, mathematician and jurist,
and in the last ten years had won a
national reputation as an educator.
Dr. MacLaurin was born in Edin?
burgh, Scotland, in 1870, spent his
early boyhood in New Zealand and re?
ceived his preliminary education in
Great Britain. In 1892 he entered
Cambridge University at St. John's
College, and after four years received
the highest rank in the most advanced
mathematical examination, and with a
monograph won the Smith Prize, the
most coveted honor at Cambridge. Dr.
MacLaurin then took up the study of
law and won the MaCMahon law stu?
dentship for four years. While still
at Cambridge he wrote "The History
of the Title to Real Estate," which won
him the York prize. Upon his gradu?
ation he was elected a fellow of St.
John's College for seven years, with
an income of $1,000 a year.
After traveling in Europe Dr. Mac?
Laurin was called to the University
Of New Zealand as professor of mathe?
matics. Later he became a trustee of
that university and took an active part
in the organization of technical edu?
cation in New Zealand. For four years
he was dean of the faculty of law of
the University of New Zealand. In
1898 Cambridge University conferred
the degree of doctor of soience, and
in 1904 the same institution gave him
the degree of doctor of Jaws.
Came to Columbia in 1907
In 1907 Dr. MacLaurin left New Zea?
land to take the chair of mathematical
physics at Columbia University in this
city. In 1908 he was chosen president
of the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. ?
When he went to the Institute of
Technology there were great financial
difficulties to meet. Dr? MacLaurin
attached great importance to building
Up loyalty among the alumni. He was
remarkably successful, and one of its
results was a donation by T. Coleman
du Pont of $50,000 for the purchase
of n new site in Cambridge. The
alumni backed up Dr. MacLaurin in
his building plans, and it was under
his direction that the new plant of the
institute was erected. Dr. MacLaurin
was equally successful in interesting
many men of wealth in the work of
the institute. Benefactions of $11,
000,000 to the institute by George East?
man, of Rochester, N. Y., "the Myster?
ious Mr. Smith." resulted from an in?
terview with President MacLaurin.
Among the innovations brought about
by President MacLaurin were the es?
tablishment of a laboratory for re?
search in aerodynamics and the intro?
duction of the "technology plan" for
the retention of the institute by com?
mercial establishments as a technical'
adviser. In July. 1918, Dr. MacLaurin
accepte?! the appointment as national
director of college war training, and
he was the head of the Students' Army
Training Corps under the Committee
of Education of the War Department.
Dr. MacLaurin was a member of the
American Mathematical Society, the
American Physical Society, the Ameri?
can Academy of ?Xrts and Sciences and
the American Philosophical Society, tie
was a member of many clubs in this
city and Boston. He was the author
of "The Theory of Light" and many
other technical books and memoirs. Dr.
MacLaurin is survived by his wife
and two children.
