Taft during .h!» inauguration, left here tonight for Washington. They are Sergeanj. Joseph Berry. William Rohan. Arthur Mc- Carthy and Frank Murphy. Beats All Records WASHINGTON. Feb. 28.— Now that billion dollar sessions of congress are the rule, little other appropriation leg islation can be enacted during the short sessions, and the one to end this week is no exception to the rule. The ap propriations probably will be the larg est on record, even exceeding the $1,008,000,000 provided for at the first session. As only one of the 15 general appropriation bills has been sent to the president for his signature an ac curate statement of the amount to be appropriated is impossible. About 38,000 oills and 1.500 resolu tions were presented in both houses. Of these about 275 public bills will be come laws. There will be about 175 private bills enacted. About 50 resolu tions were agreed to. Early in the congress the president outlined his policies «as follows: . A na tional child labor law; an employers' liability law; anti-Injunction legislation amendments to the Sherman anti-trust law for corporations and for labor unions; financial legislation; postal sav ings banks; revision of the tariff; wa terways commission; regulation of wa ter rights on navigable streams. When the session ends, there will be no national child labor law, no na- : tional postal bank, and no additional regulation of \u25a0water rights. An 'em ployers' liability law has replaced the one declared unconstitutional. A com mercial currency law was enacted and a monetary commission is Investigating the subject of further financial legis lation. Active s»teps looking to a re vision of the tariff have been taken, All through the re&sion the house com mittee on ways snd means has been considering a tariff bill. Urges Perkins to Act VALLEJO. Feb. 28. — The chamber of commerce of Vallejo has wired Sena tor Perkins to use all efforts to ob tain the $1,800,000 collier for Mare island. The telegram stated that if the collier was built on the same line as the Prometheus it could be built here under the department consolida tion plan for 15 per cent less than estimated. If Secretary Newberry's figures are based upon the bureau's estimate they are not founded on \u25a0 any information forwarded by Mare island. In the event of the senate refusing to recede from Its $900,000 stand, Per kins is urged to get the matter into a conference, where a possible satis factory compromise can be arranged.

'. Both vessels foundered as a result of the collison, but 10 of the crew of the Austria who had put off in a small boat were picked up by the German steamer Liberia and brought to' Al pters. Until today n» word of . the fate of the sailing vessel had been' re ceived. The steamer Austria, howeVer, which arrived here today, reports having sighted a ship's boat between Cape Fal« *.con and the Hablbas islands, off th« Algerian coast, February 27, on which was painted the name "Condor, .Lon don."

TV N/ Pashkovsky OIL POURED ON FOUNDATION STONE New Greek Church Scene of Un» usual Religious Exer» cises With the ceremony of pouring oil ufion the foundation stone the Greek church was founded at the corner of Van Ness avenue and Green street yes terday. Rev. T. N. Pashkovsky officiated at this rite, which was followed by elabo rate religious exercises *vnd prayers and songs of thanksgiving, in which more than 250 people participated. The music, by a choir of 20 under the direc tion of V. T. Greevsky, the choirmaster, unaccompanied by instruments, as is the custom in the Greek" church, was a feature of the exercises. Another interesting Incident was the ringing of the big bell which was taken from the tower of the old Greek church at Powell and Union streets two days before the disaster in April, 1906. The members ot the congregation regard the saving of the bell with religious awe. • \u25a0 .. : Twenty years ago the bell was cast and given to the church as a thanks giving offering for a miraculous es cape ,of Alexander 111 and his family. Two days before the creat fire, the building occupied by the Greek church was sold, and the great bell, weighing 6,000 \u25a0 pounds, taken down and stored beyond/the fire limits. Its mellow note was heard yesterday for the first time since that day. It is hung In the tower of the church, the skeleton of which has already been erected. \u25a0. ' The structure when completed will be most picturesque In. its setting of trees and foliage, and will hold 600 people standing, the custom in the Greek church being to use no chairs or seats of any kind during divine service. In an iron box under the cornerstone Is sealed the parchments, on which is written the creed of, the church hi Greek and English a record of the deeds of the bishop. Platon, and the names of- the president , and cabinet ministers of the government of the United States at the present time. HALSEY MUST STAY FOR GRAFT TRIAL Indicted Man \ Refused Permis- sion to Leave Jurisdiction Doctors disagree as to the physical condition of Theodore V. Halsey; the indicted official of the Pacific States telephone company. Drs. Thomas E. Shumate, G.J. Sweeney arid John Gallwey have reported several times that Halsey is suffering from incip ient 'tuberculosLs, supervening upon the operation for : appendicitis more than-a- ; year ago, and ; also that the wound- caused by the""operation has never fully healed. '\u25a0'. : Upon these re- ? ports application * was made to the court to have Halsey. removed to south ern California. . ' As against these "statements, two in dependent' physicians, Drs. -Robert Pa tek , and Henry Harris, appointed by the ' colirt,' reported - under ''dat« 'of.

They, consti tute a comparison of the condition of the society" at' the end of 1908 with that of 1907. The figures are enormous., -For in stance, in a single year' there "was an increase in assets of $18,500,000. .The fund set aside with which to pay divi dends to policy holders in 1909 is. ap proximately $10,000,000. .In, every item that makes for success there was: a decided increase In 1908 over.. 1907, showing the skill and economy with which Paul Morton is conducting this gigantic institution. Paul Morton's success is the success of a western man conducting a national institution: and as practically .' an adopted son of California, his Califor nia friends are rejoicing with him over the record he is malclng. \u25a0\u25a0'\u25a0.• The managers ol the Equitable in California are much elated over the manner in which the people have re sponded to the • Equitable's attitude toward San Francisco after the fire. It: will be remembered that 'the Equitable was the first outside-insti tution to make a loan In San' Fran cisco. It placed $2,000,000 with James D. Phfrlan for the construction of; his Market street building, and followed this loan with a number of others. As a result, other eastern Institutions put about' s2s,ooo,ooo into, California.. This transfer of. money from the east to this west may be said to have. almost offset the effect of the panic of 1907 upon lo cal financial Institutions. That Call fornians are not unresponsive is-evi denced by the. fact that the Equltable"s new business in -the state last yekr took a jump of 150 per cent, over that of 1907. Just now the Equitable is making preparations to celebrate its , fiftieth anniversary by writing in. 1908 all the new business permitted, "by . the .'New York law for a single year—slso,ooo, ooo—with Encouraging prospects for success.
