P)—Voicing again his plea for governmentu: cconomy, President Coolidge sub- mitted to Congress today a budget for the fiscal year 1930 calling for cxpenditures of $3,780,719,647, leaV- ing the treasury with an estimated $60,576,182 surplus which he de- clared offered no immediate pros- pect of further tax reduction. The eostimated surplus, which would be available June 30, 1930, is based upon expected revenue total- ling $3,841,205,829, Describing the surplus as small, the president said it was nevertheless ‘satisfactory as it points to a balanced budget.” Can't Spend Too Much Mr, Coolidge warned congress that “it is clear that we cannot assume any great additional expenditure without jeopardizing this favorable outlook.” “We are committed irrevocably to a balanced budget,” he said, “ana that carries the assurance that the cnly revision of our tax laws which will be considered {s a revision downward. We have no immediate prospect of any further reduction in tax rates;but we have no thought of curtailing in any way the benefits which have gone to the people by the four reductions already made in taxes.” Giving an account also of the progress of fiscal affairs for the current year, the president sald the outlook for 1929 “is not so bright.” Referring to budget estimates that precifted & surplus of $282,640,282 at the close of this fiscal year nexv June 30, Mr. Coolidge observed that “this forecast has been materially changed.” He recalled that the “best estimates” at the beginning of the year envisaged a $94,000,000 deficit and now with the year nearing the half-way mark he declared it “most gratifying” that a surplus of $3,. 990,192 is in prospect.

SEN. OCOLEMAN DU PONT T. COLENAN DU PONT QUITS U. 5. SENATE Delaware’s Millionaire Statesman Resigns Be- cause of Ill Health Wilmington, Del, Dec. 5 (® — United States Benator T. Coleman du Pont of Delaware has resigned his seat in the senate because of his health. The resignation was made known today by Governor Robinson, who sald he had received a copy of the letter of resignation which the sena- tor had sent to Vice President Dawes. Senator du Pont is recuperating from a long illness at his country place near Cambridge, Md. Mr. du Pont, a republican, be- came a senator in 1921 when he was appointed by Governor William | D. Denney to succeed Josiah O. Wolcott, democrat, who had re- signed to become chancellor of the state of Delaware. Senator du Pont was a candidate for election in 1922 but was defeated by Thomas F. Byard, democrat. He was again a jcandidate in 1924 and was elected. His term would have expired in 1930. Gov. Robinson has not indicated whom he will appoint to fill the va- cancy, but it is said the republican organization of Delaware has indi- cated to him that its preference is for the naming of Daniel O. Hast- ings, who is now judge of the mu- nicipal court in Wilmington. FOURTH OFFENDER KILLED BY POLICE Attempts to Kill Officers Taking Him to Life Sentence New York, Dec. 5.—(#—Facing a possible sentence to life imprison- ment as a fourth offender, Sigmund “Whitey' Welss, convicted jewel rob- ber, was shot and killed in an alley- way of the criminal courts building today after he had shot and wounded two court attendants in an effort to escape. While struggling with the two guards, Weiss fired three shots be- fore his gun jammed. Captain John Doyle, head of the court attendants, attracted by the shots, ran into the heap with drawn revolver. He fired twice. Weiss was hit in the face and a mecond bullet hit him in the back, ploughing through his heart. Leo Karlstrand and Alfred Wil- llams, court attendants, had taken Weiss from the prison pen in back of general sessions courtroom, and were waiting in the alleyway with one of Weiss' hands handcuffed to Karlstrand when the prisoner made his bid for freedom. Karlstrand sald a revolver, which presumably had been smuggled to the prisoner, suddenly dropped from one of Weiss' trouser legs. The two guards and the prisoner grappled, but Weiss succeeded in seizing the revolver as the three men fell in a heap. Weiss placed the muzzle against Karlstrand's forehead and pulled the trigger, but Karlstrand exeuted a mighty heave and twisted his head as the bullet grazed his forehead, leaving a searing flesh wound. Karlstrand fell back and Weiss fired again, hitting Williams in the right hand. A third shot went wild. As Doyle arrived: Weiss pulled the trigger aguin, but his gun jammed and Doyle fired instantly. When the shooting occurred Weiss was being taken from the tombs be- (Continued on Page 14) McManus Pleads Not Guilty to Murder New York, Dec. 5 (P—Smiling broadly and nodding to acquain- tances in the court room, George McManus was arraigned today on the blanket indictment charging him and three other men with the mur- der of Arnold Rothstein. McManus' counsel entered a plea of not guilty for his gambler client and asked for 15 days in which to prepare motions. With approval of District Attorney Banton this was granted and Dec. 20 was set for hearing of the motions. OPTIHISTIC FOR NATIONS FUTIRE Treasury Secrelary Says Auto- mobile Production Shows Major Tarn for Better AGRICULTURE ALSO HAS SHOWN EXCELLENT GAINS Illicic Manufacture of Liguor at Homie Is Chief Sourte of Domestic Bouze, Statement Indicates—Ex- port Trade Shows Only Slight De- clinc and Same Holds True of Imports. ‘Washington, Dec, 5 —Bandying about sums running into the billions, Secretary Mellon has found that bus- iness, which reached & low point in November and December of 1927, finished the fiscal year ending June 30 only 3 per cent below that of the previous 12 months, In his annual report the financial chief of the administration cramns into a 91-page pamphlet a formid- able array of figures showing the in- tricate fiscal operations of the gov- ernment and dealing in detall with agriculture, customs affairs, taxes, {business conditions, prohibition, and a great many other things and with scarcely a note of pessimism for the future. Automobile Production Agriculture, as a whole, he says, made substantiul gains. Automo- bile production experienced a major turn for the better during the year. Export trade was but slightly under the previous year and imports had hut a small decline. As to liquor, he says only about 5,000,000 gallons was identified in foreign ports as presumably destined for the United ftates against 14,000,000 gallons the previous year. Incidentally the secretary says that diversion of legal liquor, includ- ing industrial alcohol, is no longer the major problem of domestic law enforcement, but that illicit manu- facture from sugars and grain is the principal source of supply of the do- mestic market. The prevention of drug smuggling he believes to have been improved. Business ¥ell Off At the opening of the fiscal year, the secretary says, the volume of business was nearly on a par with the year previous but soon fell off, reaching its minimum in the last two months of 1927. In January recovery took place and the monthly volume thereafter was custained about equal to the same months of the previous year. “There was an increase both in prices and in total cash returns for (Continued on Page 9.) POSTAL FLIERS COVER 26,385 MILES DAIL Post Office Official Reports on Air Mail to House Committee Washington, Dec. § (M—The net- work of airmail lines in the United States has been extended until the postal service fliers traverse 25,38% miles daily over routes which touch ive million persons. Irving Glover, second assistant | postmaster general, testifying before the house post office appropriattons sub-committee, explained also tha. a number of additional lines were being contemplated with the proba- hlity that service would be started on them before the beginning of the uext fiscal year. The reduction in air mail postage rates in August almost, doubled the amount of mail dispatched monthly over the lines, Glover said, adding that there also had been a slight In- crease in poundage in September, the second month ,after the rates were reduced from ten cents & half ounce to five cents for the firs ounce. Four routes already are in opera- tion to foreign countries, Glover tes- tified. He included among them, however, the roite from New Or- leans to Pillottown, La., where atr- planes pick up the mail from In- coming ships, and from Beattle to Victoria. A daily service is main- tained from Miami to Havana and planes cover the route between New York and Montreal six times a week. Contracts already have been awarded, Glover added, to provide service between Key West and the Canal Zone, and three times a week between Key West and San Juan, and Miami and Nassau.- Chaplain Goes to Athol, Mass., Church Hartford, Dec. 5 —The Rev.

To correct it he gests a revison of the Can liquor cargoes to this country. Dr. Doran made this statement before a house appropriations sub- ‘committee at hearings, made public {today, on the treasury supply bill. Large Movements The commissioner said despite the fact that the coast guard has oper- ated to break up nearby rum-rows, there s still a large movement of liquor into the United States from European ports, the French islani of 8t.

Prohibition Money The measure, carrying $23,040,- 000 for continuing work on 137 fed- eral buildings project heretofore ini- tiated, and $13,500,000 for prohibi-! tion enforcement—the largest ever to be provided for thisi work—rep- | resented an increase of $20,245,806 ! over’the current appropriation and a decrease of $2,737,370 from the 1930 budget estimates. The post office department would be given the bulk of the total, $818,. 215,725, an increase of $38,990,68% over current appropriations, while the treasury would get $303,459,664. a decrease of $18,744,877, The figure for prohibition enforce. ment topped the previous high reached in the fiscal year 1928, when it was $13.320,405, and represented an increase of $770,860 over cur- rent funds, $777,164 of which wus sald to be needed to take care of salary increases under the amended classification. act. “The budget recommendation,” the committee report sald, “was for $13,400,000, which would have in- volved a reduction in the appropri- ation, ‘aside from the salary in- creases, of approximately $306,000. The committee did not concur in this suggested decrease and has re- stored the sum of $100,000, leaving the appropriations for 1930 to stand at the 1929 figure plus the addition- al amount necessary on account of the classification act.” Tax Refunds The bill also would provide $130,~ 000,000 for the refunding of ille- gally collected taxes, $29,670,171 for the coast guard, $13,300,000 for the airplane contract mail service, and $21.415,000 for the collection of customs, The coast guard figure represents an increase of $767,601, chiefly to complete eight new cutters and for commencing work on a ninth. A total of $215,500 was provided for the public health service to carry on rural sanitation work in 87 counties affected by the Mississ- 1ppi flood.

London, Dec. 5 UP—An anxious public learned today when a medi- cal bulletin of King George's physi- cians, was issued that the monarch was suffering from rewened activity of the infection in his chest. Prev- iously an improvement in this con- dition had been reported, but to- day's bulletin stated that this was what had caused the disturbing rise in his temperature noted yesterday. There was a measure of rellef to the popular mind, however, in the announcement that there were rea- sons for hoping that this recrudes- cence was being moderated and also that the night had been a fairly comfortable one for the king. Not Specific There was nothing specific in the morning bulletin regarding the king's temperature. Nor was any- thing said as to how his heart was reacting to the long strain of illness which, it had been strongly reiterat- ed recently, was the vital point upon which the king's chances of recovery from his grave iliness rested. The bulletin was signed by Sir Stanley Hewett and Lord Dawson of Penn and read: “The king has passed a fair night. There are reasons to hope that the recrudescence of the infection which caused the last rise of temperature is being moderated.” In palace quarters the physicians’ morning report was regarded favor- ably. 1t was said that a recrudes- cence of the infection which caused yesterday's rise in temperature was considered as part of the ordinary course of the king's illness and as such had been expected by his doc- tors.
