Expenses V A Expenditures of 1924 Will Be $3,180,843,334, Not In- cluding Postal Service— Army and Navy Will Take $546,433,800. F Washington, Dec. 4. — Presidént Harding, in transmitting the annual fed®ral budget for the next fiycal year, frankly tofd congrqsfl today that Whether there was to be any material reduction in government expenditures and in taxes in future years would de- pend largely on whether there was to Le a curtailment or expansion of fed- eral aid in lines of research, improve- ment and development, Only Billion Left Placing the estipated government outlay in 1921 at $3,180,543,234, a de- crease of about $500,000,000 as com- pared with cstimates fr this fiscal year, Mr. Harding called attention that two-thirds of this total was on account of practically fixed charges, such as the public debt, national de- fense, pensions, world war allowances and federal aid. There was left, he said, only about one billion dollars in charges subject to administrative con- trol and against which, he added, the retrenchment policy of the govern- ment had been directed. Little Hope of Reductions While expresstig the opinion that some further reduction undoubtedly would result from a reorganization of government cstablishments on a more scientific basis, the president said this alone would not affect such a mater- ial cut in operating costs as would Justify the expression of hope for a copsiderable lessening of etpenses in the years to come, ¥ederal Aid Problem Taking up the question of federal aid, the exccutive declared that this wa$ a rapidiygbroadening ficld of ex- penditure and that there was a ques- tion as to how far the government should participate in it He added that it did not pertain to the normal functions or operations of the business of government, “These extraneous activities,” he continued, “have flowed from laws enacted pursuant to popular demand and I take this occasion to refer to them for the purpose of showing that the taxation which necessarily results in providing funds to meet them is a necessary incident to the fulfillment of the popular demand. “In the efforts which have been di- rected to reducing public expendi- tures, T have been much concerned in a reduction in the county, and muni- cipal indebtedness, and 1T am fearful lest this condition may be in part at- tributable to tfe expenditures made by the government pursuant to its fed- eral laws, as many of these state laws require state contributions as to pre- requisite to the extension of the fed- eral aid.” Hopes For Balances A summary of the budget for 1024 as given to congress shows an esti- mated excess of receipts over exper ditures next year of $180,969,126 as compared with an estimated deficit of $278,088,712 for this fiscal year. The president said, however, that he was hopeful that the estimated deficit for 1923 could be reduced in the remain- ing seven months and that the close of the year next June 30 would show a balance in the accouht. Estimated expenditures of $3,180,- §43,234 for 1924, which are exclusive of the postal service, compare with estimated appropriations of $3,078,- 140,331 for the same period. Mr. Harding explained that the expendi- tures would represent actual cash| withdrawals from the treasury, in- cluding some on account, of appro- priations in previous years. Another Deficit, Anothér.defsit in postal operations wag forecast for this year, but Mr. Harding said it, was estimated that ‘through proper geadjustments there would be a surplus of postal revenues | over expenditures in 1924 amounting to $952,439.

Waterville, Me., Dee, 4.-—Three stu- dents of Colby college were burned to death early today when fire de- stroyed one section of North college, the original college building erccted in 1820. The dead: Alton T. An- drews, Belfast, senior; Charles M. Treworgy, East Surrey, senior; War- ren L. Frye, Revere, Mass., freshman, Andrews had been prominent in the work of the Colby Christian associa- tion and was a member of the edi- torfal board of the college annual last year. Treworgy was a football letter man this year and had been a mem- ber of the track squad for three years. College classes were suspended for the day and arrangements were made for funeral services for the students in the college chapel this afternoon. Blaze Spreads Rapidly. The blaze started on one of the lower floors and spread so rapidly that the building was a mass of flameés 16 minutes after the alarm was sounded. The northern half of the building was destroyed. The firemen, unable to trace the cause of the fire, definitely expressed opinion that it was due either to faulty electric wiring, or to a defec- tive flue. Treworgy was sleeping in the dormitory on the fifth floor. All of the other students who were on that floor made their way to the ground by the fire escape. Some of them said that Treworgy tried to escape by way of the stairs. I'rye and Andrews with Roy Shorey of North Vassalboro were asleep in rooms on the second floor. Shorey jumped from a second story window without injury.

One of the first things the new mayor shouid do, Mr. Iord declared in dis- cussing the appointment of Mr. Cou- zens as U, S, senator, is to cut fares in half. This, the motor manufac turer declared, would treble the street railway's business. “People would find they could ride cars so cheaply, he added, “that many thousands who now drive to and from work would ride the street cars—the saving would be so con- siderable that they could not afford to drive.” Pledging aid to the municipally owned traction system, Mr. FFord said a large amount of additional power was being installed in the River Rouge plant of his company which he'would gladly furnish the city at a moderate figure.

Hartford, Dec. 4.—Coroner J. Gil» bert Calhoun announced today his finding that Charles L. Lorenzini of Bristol, formerly of New Britain, whose body was found half subs merged in the waters of the Con~ necticut river last Wednesday, was murdered. He declared that circums stances surrounding the finding of Lorenzini's body and clothes pointed to but one thing and that was the Bristol fruit dealer was shot by some one else, and did not commit suicide, Medical Examiner Costello, who conducted the autopsy, told Coroner Calhoun in an informal report on the case that a gunshot wound in the head caused instant death. No opinion was expressed by the medical exam- iner, however, as to how Lorenzinl met his death—whether by foul play or by suicide. 5 No Clue To A Motive. The state pollce, East Hartford po~ lice and the state's attorney’s office are working on the case endeavoring to run down clues which might shed a light on the motive for the murder, The state police have thus far suce ceeded in the course of their investi- gation in tracing the revolver found on the murder scene to the Bristol Hardware Co. where Lorenzini him- self purchased it three years ago. Dis- covery of this fact however, deepens the mystery as it reveals nothing in the way of a tangible ciue to work on the uiurdered man having owned the gun himself. ik Coroner was Renaldino Case. 5 athoun admitted the case. mo 4 puzzling that o his atfention, Not reus <lanc o sieround- o AT TeaY Wy it alte there ') ‘rori witlch 4 motive 1 v establised.
