Washington, Aug. 22. A day of con
tinuous conferences here by the special
committee of railway presidents has
perceptibly cleared the prospect for the
sdoptlon of a peaco plan which will
avert the threatened tleup of the trjna
portatlon llnca of the United Sta'tes.
There are predictions that an adjust
cent will be reached, although no
definite proposals for the solution of
the problem have been announced.
The question uppermost In the de
liberations of the railroad executives
was not whether President Wilson's
proposal should he accepted or re
jected, but what counter proposal could
U devised that would be acceptable to
the President and to the employees.
All through the torrid day the com

tic, Knslgn Fltxhugh Green, the young
American naval officer who represented
this Government on the "Crocker Land"
Arctic expedition, notified the Navy De

rival at Copenhagen.
How many members of the party have
reached safety with him Is not yet
known. The American Legation at Co
penhagen will take Immediate steps to
assist Green and provide Btich other
means ns practicable for others of the
expedition.
The so-called "Crocker Land" which
Peary believed ho had discovered Is not
referred to aa existing In l'nslgn Green's
report. As this officer went In the ca
pacity of an official Government repre

During 1913 and the following year
no word whatever came from the party
and there was growing concern hero and
a demand far a relief expedition. The
Washington, Aur. 2. Expenditures
appropriated or authorised at this ses
sion of Congress amount to more than
1 2,000,000,000, according to figures com
piled by Senator Penrose and read In the
Senate to-day.
Senator Smoot began the attack on
the Administration by referring to ths
total of appropriations. Senator Penrose
said the limit of the "debauch," aa he
called It, could not be gauged by the
appropriations alone. Authorisations
and commitments must also be taken
Into account, he contended.
.Mr. Penrose had figures to show that
tho total appropriation would amount
to 1,71MS2,J22. and that In addition
authorization committing the Govern
ment to expenditures In the future reach
1636,641,97". This gave a grand total
of expenditures appropriated or author
ized at thH) session of 2.347,127.69.
Senator Penrose enumerated these au
thorizations as follows:
New appropriation bill $411,192,027
Sundry civil appropriation
bill 1.S27.000
Fortifications appropria
tion bill 14,100,000
River and harbor appro
priation bill :,724.S0
Flood control bill 60,400.000
Good roads bill, 79,000.000
Senator Smoot produced natures to
show that the present session had ap
propriated In the bills already pssieci
and certain to ias the unprecedented
sum of f 1.630.3S3.682. which Is 1516.446.

smaller, but Senator tfmoot challenged It.
.Mr. Simmons declared that he had ob
tained his figures from the Treasury De
partment, and that If there was an Isaac
as to their accuracy It was between the
Senator from Utah and the Treasury of
ficials. The suggestion that the present ses
sion of Congress had authorized the ex
penditure of more than $2,000,000,000
brought several Democratic Senators to
their feet In an attitude of violent pro
test. Senator Williams declared that
the flood control bill had passed the
House, but had not yet passed the Sen
ate and that Senator Penrose had no
right to Include It In the list of ex
penditures. Senator O'Qorman asked Mr. Smoot
