Increase in power and membership of the House Appropriations Committee, giving it control of practically every large supply bill, rns the fiscal plan lined upon the House to-day by Congressman Fitzgerald, of New York, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.

He opposed the "budget system" framed by Congress man Shirley, of Kentucky, which will he presented to the House Democrats' caurus to-morrow. Reversion to the old system of expend ing the Government money in vogue hundred years ago by the domination of the Appropriations Committee was Fitz gerald's plan. His remedy was aimed at the machinery rather than the pro gramme of appropriation legislation. He denounced the present appropriation plau as "illogical, unscientific and universally eondemn'-d." He strongly urged that the authority to authorize expenditures of money be taken away from many of the small committees of the House and lodrcd in the Appropriations Committee with an increased membership. "A Treasury surplus, js maintained Fitzgerald stated, "by.

a system of indi rect taxation so ingeniously devised that individual burdens are not renlly appre ciated but are assiduously proclaimed as blessings." Fitzgerald said that former President Tnft's strictures upon the present appro priations system were not well founded. "The increased expenditures of the Government are out of all proportion to the country he declared.

ALBANY', June 24. In a' message to the Legislature to-day Governor Sulzer recommended the passage of a bill for a direct tax of one mill. In another message he stated that the new building law for second class cities ought to be mnde operative in October rather than immediately because of the hardship the changes would work on builders. He declined, however, to rec ommend the repeal of the sanitary fea tures requiring light and air for all rooms in a dwelling.

Pretty 15-year-old Margaret Cacopardi was found early this morning and rescued from a filthy room on the fifth floor of the tenement at No. 443 East Thirteenth street, Manhattan, to which she was taken June 0 by a gang of traffickers in women and where she has been held pris oner ever since. The detectives broke in the door of the room. The girl wis lying on an old broken-down bed. Her clothing had been taken from her.

The bed was the only article of furniture in the room. On the floor were a few empty cracker boxes and milk bottles, Josephine, Margaret's sister, 16 years old, was captured by the abductors also. She shared the room with Margaret until June 15, when she was taken awny despite Margaret's tears and pleas. The detectives are now seeking her. After rescuing the girl the detectives arrested Guiseppe Longo, 18 years old.

who would not give any address. The girl named him as one of the two who abducted her. The police refuse to give more information of the girl's story at this time. It is believed they have hopes of rounding up a gang of traffickers in young girls. Tenants of the tenement house supplied Margaret with clothing and she was taken to the Children's Society to spend the rest of the night.

On June Margaret and Josephine disappeared mysteriously while on their way to work in a factory. The girls lived at No. 54J Southern Boulevard, the Bronx. Their aunt, Mrs. Mary Mazzlo, of No.

524 East Fourteenth street, conducted a search. The police were put on the trail, but could find no trace of the girls' whereabouts. On June 14 a well-dressed Italian told the aunt that the girls were held in a' house in Thirteenth street. Mrs. Mazzio carried the news to the police of the Fifth street station.

Detectives McGrath and Carroa devoted their attention to some of the tenements along Thirteenth street. From nearby tenements they received Information that made them suspicious of No. 443. Lust night they decided to investigate. On breaking in the door of one of the rooms they found Margaret.

the fact that Ihere ara 100.000 less arrests year now than 'when I became Mayor. "One of my greatest difficulties was to make the idd timers on the force realize that arrests are not nlwuys necessary. These useless arrcsis of small boys are due to ignorance or childish carelessness. It would have done just as well to warn these children or summon them to a magistrate's court. "This business of arresting boys and locking them lip in dirty cells must be stopped." The Mayor then complimented the children on their success self -govern went, and urged the girls to continue tlteir work and make themselves useful in their homes and in civic life.

He added he had advertised the first free ice for the people who were unable to pay for it, and had made arrange ments whereby they could obtain the ice without publicity. He wondered why more of the poor did not take advantage of the plan, and asserted that "what poverty there is, generally is due to liquor and laziness." The Mayor was In "fine fettle." The children applauded him, and he seemed pleased. He said he loved the "little ones," and they showed they liked him, the "gray Eplctetus" of the City Hall. While the children showed Interest In him, the people of the Eastern District were far more interested In the fact that he and his "bodyguard," Lieutenant Kenlon, ran through Roebling street In their automobile. The street has been a "disgrace" to the district for a long time.

Improvements were begun there some years ago, but never have been com pleted. Property- has suffered and eon- eequenfly the residents and taxpayers.

It will be the first appearance of these men togpt'ier at any public gathering since it became evident that the Progressives were divided over the proposition to support a Republican for the Mayoralty, nnl it is underst nd that they will tnke advantage of the opportunity to ranke plain their attitude, and to let it be known whether the leaders have come to a decision on the matter, or whether there is still a division on this important question. Much interest is also being shown In Progressive circles as the number of members of p.prty who attend the dinner. There is a bad split In the new party in the Bedford section, a eon-sldprnble element being strongly opposed to 'Dr. Dexter's leadership. Those who approve of him and his methods have arranged the dinner ns, an indication of their approval and an indorsement cf his leadership.

Committees revresenting the Independence League and organizations known as the Democratic Union and the Cleveland Democracy will call at the Fusion headquarters the Fifth Avenue Building, Manhattan, this afternoon and evening, to voice their opinions regarding the sort of ticket that should be named by the fusion forces. It is understood that the Independence League committee will Hrge the naming of a composite ticket for all the positions throughout the five bo roughs, as the Leaguers are anxious to get some of their leaders into office and know that the only way to do it is through a combination. Iu Brooklyn the League programme in to get a nomination for Register E. T. O'Loughlin.

and other nominations if possible. To-morrow's conferences are assigned to the Em. pire State Democracy and the Democratic Alliance. Norman Hapgood, chairman of the Citizens' Municipal Committee, said today that there was no change in the situation, and nothing new. This is taken to mean that District Attorney Charles S.

Whitman Is still In the lead and will be nominated unless some stronger Apposition to him is heard In the conferences than has been presented thus far. District Attorney Frank Moss is likely to be the fusion candidate for District Attorney of New York County. He has been 'urged for the nomination for some time, and yesterday told a committee which called on him that he was prepared to accept the nomination if Mr. Whitman should be named for Mayor, but that if there should be anvone else chosen for the head of the ticket Mr. Whitman would undoubtedly be named again for his present position.

If that should happen, Mr. Moss said, he would be found working for Mr. Whitman's re-election. Fusion plans are already under way in Queens borough, regardless of what is done by the Citizens Municipal Committee on the city ticket. A joint com mittee is being named representing the county committees of the Republicans, Progressives and Indeiff ndence League, to arrange for a county' ticket that will be aujiBcrtcd hjr.

three parties, MANY IGURIN ON TICKET i again to-day effort were being made to effect a compromise on the primary bill. Senator John F. Murtaugh is the chief promoter of the efforts. The basis of the proposed compromise is a proposition to have a referendum to the voters nt the next election on the question of the abolition of the State convention. But even on this there is a difference between the Governor and the party organization.

The party leaders want to have the whole question submitted to tho people as a referendum. The Governor will not agree to that but suggests that all the features of the bill, except the convention clause, be passed and made a law, and that the referendum be made to embrace solely the question of the abolition of the convention. The Republican organization is agreeable to the Governor's plan. Plans are in to bring the extra, session to a close on Thursday, and they will be carried out, nnless the Governor circumvents them by taking action on the request of Justice Cohnlan to have the charges made against him by John A. Connolly submitted to the Legislature at the extra sessions.

Such aotiqn will probably lead to the Legislature referring the Cohalan case to the Joint Judiciary Committees of the Senate and Assembly, with instructions to report after a recess. There is doubt, however, as to how much of a recess should be taken. Some are in favor of allowing the Cohalan case to go over until after the fall election. Others favor a two weeks' recess and then disposing of the case and getting it finally out of public notice before election. The latter plnn was odopted.

and it Is now dependent on the Governor sending the case to Legislature. If the Governor does not submit the Cohalan case by Thursday, the Legisla ture will adjourn on that day. If he does send it in. it will be referred to the committees, as already stated, with instructions to report back to the Legisla ture in two weeks, during which the Legislature will stand in recess'. If an adjournment is taken because of not having the case before the Legislature, it is the general conviction another extra session must be called to dispose of the Cohalan case whenever the Governor is- ready to submit the charges to tho Legislature.

Cakier, before starting for Washington last night, spoke before the members of the Sixteenth Assembly District Republican Club, of which Marcus B.

The Mayor characteristically expressed his views about the physical state of the street and added he was glad of the opportunity of seeing it for himself. Because of his study of Roebling street Mayor Gaynor, who was expected at the school at 10 o'clock, did not arrive until twenty minutes later.

Miss Grace Strachan, district superintendent, welcomed the Mayor. (jk When the Mayor entered the audi-'torluin the boys' band of "No. 147" played "Hall to the Chief."
