WASHINGTON. Feb. 17.— The legis

measures of the government, was
passed by the house today after sev
eral days'* discussion. The amount
carried by It is practically as reported
by the committee, $32,336,573. •
There was a lively debate over the
provision giving discretion to heads
of departments to remove or reduce
incapacitated employes of the govern
ment.
When the provision was reached
Goulden of New York made a point of
order against it. The chair sustained
Goulden's point of order. The provi
sion accordingly went out of the bill,
but Immediately afterward the house
adopted the following provision by way
of substitute:
"The appropriations herein made for
the officers, clerks and persons em
ployed in the public service shall not
be available for the compensation of
any person Incapacitated for perform

pensions at 50 per cent of their sal
aries to all persons discharged under
the substitute provision adopted, and for
an assessment of one-half of 1 per cent

"employes who served in the army or
navy of the United States during the
war of the rebellion, or who, as mem
bers of 6tate militia organizations,
aided in the suppression of the rebel
lion, and the widows of such persons."
The amendment "was lost by the
chair's ruling that it was offered too
late.
The reading of the bill ,was con
cluded, and It was about to pass when
Hitchcock of Nebraska mored to have
Jt recommitted with Instructions to
report it back with an amendment re
quiring the secretary of the depart
ment of -commerce and labor to cause
to be included In the reports of spe
cial agents investigating trade condi
tions abroad "information showing
the prices at which American made
goods are sold abroad to merchants
and at retail."
APPEAL IS TABLED ,
A point of order was raised" by
Tawney of Minnesota, and it led to a
discussion of the parliamentary phase
of the question.
Speaker Cannon sustained Tawney's
point of order, whereupon Hitchcock
appealed from the decision. Tawney
moved to lay the appeal on the table.
The motion prevailed, 119 to 108, and
the bill was passed. ,
Following the passage of the legis
lative appropriation bill the house re
sumed consideration of the resolution
to refer the president's message to
congress to the respective committees.

The contest was led by Senator

ter against what he called the promo

word directed against his record, which

CONFER ON CURRENCY BILL
House Members Anxious to
Agreement
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. — The repub
lican members of the committee on
banking and currency entered today on
a. series of conferences by which It* Is
hoped to reach an agreement regarding
the recommendation' to the house. of a
currency bill at this session. A feeling
exists among the members that the
country's financial system, embracing
the fluctuations of national prosperity
is the issue on which the coming presi
dential campaign will be fought,, and
that the sort of currency bill to be
passed, at the present session of con
gress will determine in a great measure
the shape of the financial plank to be
Inserted in the republican platform at
Chicago.
The republican members of the com
mittee are therefore very anxious to go
before the house, with an unbroken
front in reporting favorably a currency
bill. Thus far some rather wide differ
ences of opinion have characterized the
attitude of the majority members. It
was In the hope of closing these
breaches that the conference series was
inaugurated today.
It is the general understanding that
the democratic members of the com
mittee will submit a minority report
recommending tho passage of the
minority currency ibill introduced re
cently by Representative John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi, no. matter
whether the republicans finally agree
to recommend the Fowler bill or some
other measure in Its place.

at the crowd inside. ,
Ti.ere were nine persons In the
drinking place • in addition to the. pro
prietor. They promptly, obeyed the
command of . the white masked in
truders and lined up against the wall,
covered by the weapons of one bandit
while the other thief ransacked the
cash register. Just as the bandit had
gone behind the bar and opened the
cash register, .Aggens, the saloon
keeper, Jumped Into a rear room behind
the bar and the one on guard shouted
to his companion that Aggens had got
away. The footpad snatched $10 out
of the cash register and then he and
his companion ran out of the j front
door and disappeared. The robber
overlooked $60 that was in a drawer
at the back. of the cash register. Ag
gens notified Policeman J. B. Collins

O'GARA' DRAWS OUT ACH " :
„ O'Gara's i argument was largely, based
on. the . premise ; that . a ' defendant who
had relied upon a- contract of immunity
which was : later, broken' would demand
a restoration of rights which he had
waived -in -case .it was shown that" he
had' ..hotv intended to deceive -the. prose
cution,, that; he. was in the power of
the .prosecution, or- that .the prosecu
tion had .entered into, such a contract
.with no intention, of 'keeping it Under
such conditions, he said, the subsequent
acts ;".; of the parties:- to the contract
.would have > to '\u25a0'• be considered by -; the
court. : ; ' Achlhimself admitted that if it
could^be^ shown-; that ! _,Ruef had broken
his ; contract he would' forfeit immunity.
•' r O'Gara /gave : way \u25a0; to Ach ; late in \ the
afternoon, 'and the latter began his re
buttal; argument, . which occupied - half
an- hour;, before: the adjournment: of
court; was taken.. He asserted that tne
breaking ;J; J of. Ruef's ; Immunity .contract

GOVERNOR CONDEMNS
LOS ANGELES CITY JAIL
Pardons' Prisoner and Declares
Bastile Is Overcrowded
and Unclean
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
! LOS ANGELES, Feb. 17.— 1n pardon
lng^jCharles Greenfield, an Englishman
sentenced to serve 90 days in the city
jail here for vagrancy. Governor- Gil
lett made caustic remarks regarding
conditions in the Los' Angeles rbastlle.
The governor declares that Greenfield
was not a vagrant 1 in the meaning of
the, law,; and- that -his only offense ap
peared to.be that he had endeavored to
obtain work 'without' 1 success.
The prisoner was '-, released today,
after 'having "expended what few- dol
lars he possessed in purchasing "trifles
to make life in the miserable Jail more
comfortable.
"It further appears," said the gov
ernor, • referring to the jail conditions,
"that the " place of imprisonment of
Greenfield is overcrowded, • unclean and
extremely, unhealthy, and 'it would, be
improper . longer,: to \u25a0 compel him to re
main in such a- place." .
The British vice consul 'appealed to
the governor, in behalf of Greenfield.
