ESTIMATES MUST BE SHAVED Declares His Figures Do Not Include Any New Appropriations for Rivers and Harbors Nor for Erection of Public Buildings. ‘Washington, Jan. 24.—In accordance with notice previously given Chair- man Tawney of the committee on ap- propriations " called up for considera- tion by the house tL: Trgent de- ficiency appropriation bill. An agree- ment was reached to devote the en- tire day to general debate on the measure, which carries a total appro- priation of $24,074,450. In explanation of the bill Mr. Taw- ney sounded a note of warning and sald that on the face of the estimates submitted to congress for the next fiscal year the country was confront- ed with a certain deficit of $100,000, 000. These estimates, therefore, would have to be materially revised and the figures reduced. Mr.. Tawney declared that he deemed it his duty to call attentirn to this fact in order that expenditures may be kept within estimated rev- enues. “I do not make this state- ment for the purpose of exciting alarm,” he said, “or for the purpose of exciting any apprehension in the mind of any one regarding the ability of our government to meet all of its obligations now existing or that this congress may create.” He said he appreciated the fact that his reference to a possible deficit would not “be received with favor here or anywhere else, especially where there' is a sentiment for in- creased expenditures,” but still he felt it his duty to state the facts. Continuing, Mr. Tawney said he had been ultra-conservative in his state- ment of the financial condition of the country. Replying to a question by Mr. Clark (Mo.) Mr. Tawney made it plain that there would be no new appropriations this session for rivers and harbors or public buildings, for, he said, his cal- culations did not include them. Mr. Mann (IIL) referred to the promises of both parties that if suc- cessful at thé mnext election they would revise the tariff and inquired of Mr. Tawney if it was not true that always immediately preceding a re: vision of the tariff there was a great decline in the customs receipts of the government. Mr. Tawney replied that such was the case and said there was always a decrease in the internal revenues as well. FOR MANHOOD SUFFRAGE Agitation in Germany Continues to Spread. Prunswick,:Germany, Jan. 24—The agitation in favor of manhood suffrage is spreading throughout this state. In Brunswick, as well as in Berlin and elsewhere in Germany, there is a dis- vosition to make.governmental - condi- tions responsiblé for busihess depres- slon. The Socialists- are constantly advancing -the idea that the economic reorganization of society cannot -be attained until the right of government is derived solely from the people and contend that the first great step to- ward making living easier i3 to win control of the state through elections. Motions have been drawn up by both the Socialists and the Conserva- tive parties asking how the present electoral laws could be amended and improved and they were introduced in the diet. It was decided to consider them and the house thereupon appoint- ed a committee to deal with the sub- Ject. FOUND GUILTY OF CONTEMPT Minneapolis Politician- Attempted to Influence a Witness. St. Paul, Jan. 24—Sherman 8. Smith, the Minneapolis politician, twice a member of the state legisla- ture and last winter clerk to the speaker of the house of representa- tives, was found guilty of contempt of court in the federal district court by Judge Page Morris. The specific charge on which the defendant was found guilty was in at- tempting to influence one of the gov- ernment’s witnesses, George J. Ham- mond, from giving testimony against the defendants in the case of the gov- ernment vs. the Wood brothers et al., alleged officers of the defunct Wiscon- sin Grain and Stock company, charged with a fraudulent use of the United States mails.

His last venture was the back- ing of an opera company, in which he 1s-sald to have lost $45,000. THREE ARRESTS IN ITALY Seque to Holdup of Paymaster in Pennsylvania. Messina, Sicily, Jan. 24—The hold- Ing upiat Portage, Pa., several years 8g0 of a paymaster named Campbell by a band of Italians when a driver samed Hay was killed and Campbell -was wounded found an echo here in the arrest of three men who are de- clared to have been accomplices in the crime. The men’s names are Car- melo Cavalli, Rosario 'Degrazio and Giiseppe Felormo. Search for these men had been going on for many months and in spite of the fact that they went disguised and by this means constantly changed their appearance they were finally located by the po- lice and shadowed. All three gathered together in a house near here. The volice then came down on them and the house was surrounded by Cara- biners. After all precautions had been taken six policemen forced their way into the room where the men were. There was a desperate fight, but the men were outnumbered and were quickly forced to surrender. There ‘were no casualties. Another accomplice in the holdup named Francesco Imbesi was arrested here several months ag JOHN W. GATES OPTIMISTIC Expects Business Will Become Nor- mal Before Long. New York, Jan. 24—“When the American people start in to wear their old clothes it does not take long to bring business back to normal,” said John W. Gates in discussing the finan- cial and business situation in the country. it was Mr. Gates’ first ap- pearance in the financial district since he went to Texas early in December. JOHN W. GATES. He came to town to attend the board meeting of the Republic Steel com- pany. He said there was a steady in- crease in the steel business, the Re- public company now operating 30. per cent of its capacity aiter having been shut down to 18 per cent of its ca- pacity in December. From now on he expected a steady increase. FOURTEER PER CENT IDLE Railroads Have No Use for Big Part of Their Equipment. New York, Jan. 24.—Figures - pre- pared for one of the large railroad companies, says the Tribune, show that a week ago there were 320,000 idle freight cars in the United States and about 8,000 locomotives which are laid up because of the falling off in traffic. As there are 2,200,000 freight cars in the country this would show that 14 per cent of all the cars owned by railroads are stored on railroad tracks Wwaiting for loads. Figuring the value of cars at $1,000 each and of locomotives at $15,000 each the statement shows that the railroads have $440,000,000 tied up in rolling stock for which there is no present use. The great shortage in rolling stock last year caused large orders for cars to be placed by railroads. As late as October the reported short- age was 87,000 cars. Estimating the average freight train at forty cars the 320,000 cars now idle would be equivalent to 8,000 trains, for handling each of which four men are ordinarily required, so that it may be estimated that more than 30,000 men less are needed than if all of these cars were in service. Many men have been laid off, the New York Cen- tral, for example, since the beginning of this month has Jaid off enough to make a saving of $250,000 a year, in addition to previous cutting down of its force, and many others have been placed on short time. But fixed charges of a railroad must be met in dull times as well as in active and maintenance and other expenses must be provided for and in view of all the facts the managements of many rail- roads are understood to be discussing the question of reducing wages, as a disliked, but necessary, measure.

COURT LIMITS WITNESSES Announces That Each Side May Call Only Three Alienists to Testify in Case—Doctors Wagner and Evans Appear for the Defense. New York, Jan. 24—The reign of the expert has begun in the Thaw trial. Dr. Charles G. Wagner, super- intendent of the state hospital for the insane at Binghampton, N. Y., was on the stand during most of the morning session and told in great detail of the three examinations he made during visits to Harry Thaw in the Tombs prison during the four months follow- ing the killing of Stanford White. He was also allowed to repeat his conversations with Thaw during the visits to the prisoner when the latter talked about his life and about the alleged criminal acts of Stanford White. Thaw declared, according to Dr. Wagner, that he had never in- tended to attack White, but Provi- dence took the matter in hand. There were a few new details in the physician’s testimony, but in general it was a repetition of what he said last year at the first trial. Dr. Wag- ner did not express his formal opinion a8 to Thaw's state of mind, this being left open until a few other witnesses of facts have put their evidence into the record. . Justice Dowling held a conference with the attorneys as to limiting the expert testimony and it was said it might be that each side will use but two physicians, although the defense is likely to call several more in sur- rebuttal of any evidence that may ap- pear in the state’s rebuttal case. Court Limits Number of Experts. With the opening of the afternoon session Justice Dowling announced that he would allow the prosecution and defense to call three experts each and no more. Dr. Britton D. Evans, superintend- ent of the New Jersey state hospital for the insane at Morris Plains, who introduced the “brain storm” into the case last year, then took the stand to give his ‘testimony as to facts as Dr. Wagner had done, both physicians being subject to recall later to answer a hypothetical question covering all the evidence in the case. The eud of the Thaw trial is in sight. The greater part of the evi- dence in the case is now in the hands of the jury and save for the technical evidence of the alienists practically all the testimony ‘that the defense is expected to offer has been given. It is likely that several alienists will be called upon to dispute the defendant’s experts and some of the minor points of the defense may be questioned or contradicted by the prosecution, but there is now little doubt that the case will be finally placed in the hands of the jury by the latter part of next week. The defense has all of the experts who testified for the prosecution at the last trial under subpoena. ACCUSED OF TWO MURDERS Love of a Girl Leads to Capture of Much Wanted Man. Chicago, Jan. 24.—The love of a girl, who, against the wishes of her ! mother, had been secretly meeting Horace Simmons, led to his arrest on the charge of being implicated in the murder of Policeman Willlam R. Mooney, who was shot by highwaymen on the night of Jan. 2. Grace Warner, twenty-one years old, has been meeting Simmons every night, while detectives were searching the city for him. The police learned of this and followed her from her home. Just as Simmons greeted her haif a dozen detectives surrounded the couple and Simmons was forced to surrender at the points of revolvers. Simmons, according to the police, 18 the most desperate highwayman who has worked in Chicago since the car barn bandits. William Brown, the confessed slayer of Policeman Moorey, | and Thomas McCann, an accomplice, both say Simmons was with them at the time of the murder. Simmons is also under indictment for the murder of Herman Hansen, a saloonkeeper. Twenty or more saloon robberies are. charged to Simmons. Recently a reward was offered for his- capture. WILL REPLY TO CRITICISM President to Make Statement on Fed- eral Appointments. Washington, Jan. 24.—President Roosevelt sent for the members of his cabinet and instructed them person- ally to prepare for him at their earliest convenience a list of all appointments which require confirmation by the senate which have been sent to that body during its present session. It s understood that the president intends this information for a statement to be issued some time in the near future. The statement, it is understood, will not be addressed to congress but will be made public at the White House. It will be, according to those who have talked with the president, an answer to recent criticisms made in the senate of federal appointments. All the members of the cabinet, with the exception of Secretary Cortelyou, responded to the president’s summons at once. PEOPLE TERROR STRICKEN 8trong Earthquake Shock Occurs in Itatian Province.
