Washington.--With President Taft's legislative program practically carried out in its entirety the first regular ses­ sion of the Sixty-first congress ad­ journed sine die Saturday night. signed the rivers and harbors bill, but sent a message to congress in­ dicating that he had made up his mind to do so practically at the last min= ute of time at his disposal, so far as that measure was concerned. Congress was warned that it must change its method of framing river and harbor improvement measures, and announcement is maue that un­ less reforms which he suggests are carried out In future bills che with­ holding of executive approval will be justified, even though a rivers and har­ bors bill fall. The president also signed without comment the postal savings bank bill, the omnibus public building bill, the latter carrying authorization for im­ provements aggregating $23,000,000, but leaving the items of appropriation to be attended to later, in connection with the regular estimates of the treasury department with respect to work authorised by congress. There was little work remaining to be done when the two houses of con­ gress met for the last day of the ses­ sion. Practically everything of im­ portance had been attended to except the general deficiency appropriation bill, which had become involved in the charges of attempted bribery made by Senator Gore of Oklahoma. The upshot of the recommitting of the last of the big appropriation measures to conference was, the adoption of an amendment more drastic even that the Oklahoma senator had desired, providing that no contracts heretofore or hereafter made affecting the tribal money or property of the Indian tribes shall be approved until further action by congress. With this amendment, foMowjng the adoption of a resolution in the senate to have the Indian affairs committee investigate the contracts involved hi the Gore charges, the general de­ ficiency bill was passed by both houses. The one thing left pending when congress adjourned was the Ap­ palachian forest reserve measure, upon which opponents In the senate prevented a vote. For ten days after the president reaches his summer home at Beverly, according to an announcement made at the White House, he will attend to no business matters--make no ap­ pointments and have no political con­ ferences, devoting the time to rest and recreation. The only touch of excitement in the closing hours of the house came when Representative McGulre of Oklahoma arose to a question of personal priv­ ilege and offered a resolution directing an investigation of the charges of fraud and bribery in Indian contracts. A substitute amendment, offered by Representative Carter, more specific and stronger, was preferred by the house after promiscuous debate, which developed nothing of importance, ex­ cept a widespread sentiment that a thorough inquiry should be made. After a fight which had lasted al­ most from the beginning of the ses­ sion of congress just ended Represent­ ative Martin (Dem.) of Colorado suc­ ceeded in securing an investigation by congress of his charges of fraud and maladministration in the sale of friar lands in the Philippines and of the en­ tire interior department of the Phil­ ippine government by the house com­ mittee on insular affairs. 4- T#rrt "BIG STICK" POLtoY •Rings sinati to terms. . Disposal of the Deposits Waa.tha Issue on Which Senator* ' Clashed. Washington.--tracking only jthe ilf nature of President Taft to become a law, the final step toward postal sa­ vings was taken Wednesday when the senate concurred in ths house postal* savings bank after voting down a number of amendments. President Taft's action In assuming a "big-stick" policy >5 regarded u having made the vote a certainty. The vote was 44 to 25. The bill now goes to President Taft without a ccfe ference. On the main issue of tike legislation relating to th% disposal of deposits in postal banks the house bill concurred in by the senate provides that 65 per cent, may be redeposited in the local banks and 30 per cent, may be used for the purchase of bonds backed by the taxing power of the national gov­ ernment. There is nothing arbitrary about either of these provisions, bow* ever. Five per cent, of the deposits will be retained as a reserve fund. As security for deposits in local banks, bonds backed by national, state and municipal government and other securities approved by the trustees may be used. The house bill creates a board of trustees consisting of the postmsreter general, the secretary of the treasury and the attorney general, who are vested with discrimination In the ad­ ministration of the system, Including the designation of post offices !$s postal-savings banks. Deposits in these banks by one per­ son shall not extend more than $100 a month, or a total of $500, on which interest shall be paid at the rate of two per cent, a year. An account may be opened with one dollar, but stamps may be purchased in the denomina­ tion of ten cents for those desiring to accumulate money to be deposited. At the request of the depositor gov­ ernment bonds in amount of $20, $40, $60, $80, $100 and $500 may be pur* chased with his deposit, the bonds to bear interest at 2% per cent. These bonds will cover a refunding of the $64,000,000 of three per cent, govern* ment bonds outstanding and a new Is­ sue of Panama canal bonds. The banks will be required to pay 2% per cent. Interest on postal-bank funds do- posited with them. GOV. HARMON RENOMINATED 1,500 IN SHIP FIRE PERIL Four Dead, Number Seriously Injured and 400 Slightly Hurt--Result of, Burning of Excursion Steamer. La Crosse, Wis.--Four persons are dead, a number seriously injured and about 400 slightly burned in attempt­ ing to escape from the burning hulk of the excursion steamer J. S., with 1,500 passengers aboard, which caught fire Saturday night the Mississippi river 15 miles south of here. The story of the rescue as told is that the steamer, when it finally reached Bad Ax Island, where the pas­ sengers were able to escape ashore, was burning so fiercely that only 200 of the 1,500 aboard were able to go ashore on the gangplank. The other 1,200 or 1,300 passengers were forced to leap over the rail into water four or five feet deep and wade ashore, suf­ fering terribly until they were able to reach the main land. Plan to Pledge Candidate for Senate Dffistfd in ohie Dswccrstlc Convention. Dayton, O.--The following resolu­ tion, indorsing Gov.

Harmon for governor by acclamation: "We Invite the attention of the na» tion to Judson Harmon and the work he is doing for Ohio. Two years hence it will have been completed, then we can spare him for larger duties. He believes that guilt is personal--is act­ ing on that belief at home and would act upon it in larger fields. A high sense of duty provides his only mo­ tives for official actions and his sens* of justice alone compels judgment. Firmness and strength mark him the man to supplant vacillation and weak­ ness. The nation needs a real man. and the Ohio Democracy here presents and indorses for the presidency in 1912 Judson Harmon." Atlee £omerene of Canton was nom­ inated for lieutenant governor on the second ballot and the vote was made unanimous without finishing the roll call.

Sustains Demurrer on Technical Grounds--Orders Special Grand Jury for New Hearing. Chicago.--The indictment against the National Packing company and its ten sudsidiary concerns charging them with conspiracy to restrain trade in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law, was knocked out Thursday when Judge Keneshaw M. Landis in the United States district court sustained the demurrer filed against the indict­ ment by the so-called beef trust • A special venire of seventy-five men was ordered called for July 14. From this venire & grand jury will be drawn and a second investigation of the packing companies begun. In his decision sustaining the de­ murrer to the government indictment Judge Landis said: "The most painstaking search Of this indictment fails to disclose the presence of a charge that during tl*e statutory period the defendants have engaged in, or had anything to do with Interstate commerce, or that they done anything having any effect upon such commerce, and the court is not clothed with authority to suppler, entirely by inference, the complete omission of such a fundamental ele­ ment of the offense. "This fatal weakness might have been obviated by including the charge, had the evidence warranted it, that the defendants, or their respective of­ ficers or agents, did something, as, for instance, fixed prices, controlled output, divided territory, or the like, which effected a restraint of Inter­ state commerce being carried on within the three years' period. "The general averment that the de­ fendants engaged in a combination in restraint of interstate trade is, of course, a mere conclusion, and there­ fore insufficient The demurrer must be sustained."

Berlin.--The long and venomous Cjfepaign waged by German newspa­ pers and rival Industrial Interests against one of the German branches of the Standard Oil company--the Deutsche Vacuum Oil company--has Just been brought to a vlcorious end for the American's involved. A w4ll-known Hamburg newspaper for months printed such a series of attacks on the "American graft meth­ ods" alleged to. have beeh practised by the vacuum ^company in the con­ duct of its German business that the public prosecutor of Hamburg felt constrained to make an official Inves­ tigation with a view to ev^gtual In­ dictments! The prosecutor has now concluded his Investigation, especially of the work of E. L. Quarles, Ameri­ can manager of the German com­ pany's sales department, and an­ nounces that no necessity exists for pursuing the inquiry further. No evidence of anything warranting prosecution was found against Mr. Quarles, and the costs of the entire inn quiry will be borne by the state. The result of the investigation con­ stitutes a notable triumph for Amer­ ican interests in Germany. It is not the first time that Germans, finding themselves unable to compete with Americans on ordinary terms, have resorted to slander.
