1 HOPES OF TAX RELIEF FADE AS. STATESMEN SEEK REST IN FIXING “HOME FENCES" Political Spring Fever Leaves } Both Houses of Congress \ } Short Handed, : y ARMY ASKS $1,208,901,505 Even Compromise Would Give It Nearly as Much as } National ‘Expenses of 1916, By Martin Green. (Special Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, March 26.—People &re walking on the shady side of the street in Washington these days. Gardeners are setting out plants on the White House and Capitol lawns, buzzing in hotels and public offices. Spring is apparently progressed as tar North as the Mason and Dixon| line. Spring fever, manifesting itself in ennui and desire to be elsewhere hz with the softening of the weather, and our statesmen are scat- tered far and wide. The Senate is inactive because @ quorum cannot be raised, and business was completely suspend- ed on that account yesterday. In the House the attendance dur- ing the session ranged from forty to sixty-two members, and at one period Representative Blanton of Texas counteu up and found more clerks, messengers and doorkeep- ers than Representatives in sight. come Washington are not resting. Some Senators are out promoting their own Presidential booms, Others have hast- ened to their home States to find out where they are at in the political field. Many representatives have gone to their home districts for the same pur- pose. Relief for taxpayers in the form of reduced taxes next year is not im- proving in prospect. An Indication of a disposition to enact no legislation which will interfere with the present threatening financial condition of the Government, beyond framing up a record to ‘enable the majority to go before the country in the next elec- tion and assert it was as economical as the Administration would let it be, is shown in the Legiviative, Executive and Sudtelal Appropriation Bin, which hus just been reported to the Senate. It carries appropriations amounting to $105,649,871, approximately $16,600,- 000 than the estimates submitted department heads and bureau called for. The cut amounts 3 per cent. The navy appropriation has been to $426,000,000, reduction of $: 600,000—less than 10 per cent. This is considerably beléw the percentage saving promised by the House jcaders. There was no decided differ- between the House and the Sen- ate on the navy appropriations, but Tiere appears to be quite a decided difference on the appropriations for by the hiefs tol ence the war establishment. Répresentative Mondell and other Republican leaders have announced their intention of effecting a terrific aving on the amounts demanded by the War Department ‘The House, as a matter of fact, re- the demands up to the prom- cs in spots. The abandonment at this time of compulsory military truining was a great saving in itse THREATENED SLASH WON'T AVERT DEFICIT. Kut now comes Senator Wadsworth cmount that will be required for next All the War Department asks for is $1,208,901,505 to support a suppositious army of 316,000 men and officers—-suppositious b cause there is no reasonable e: pectation that more than a skel- eton army can be recruited in times of peace with wages high and jobs scarce. If the Senate programme as outlined by Senator Wadsworth goes through the War Denartment will be handed $75i 901,505 for next year's expenses, This sum is about a quarter of a million dollars less than it cost to the allegation of Mrs, Lillian Pardon, trees are budding gnd electric fans are | All the statesmen who have fled] | New York, Chairman of the Senate | Committee on Military Affairs, with he announcement that his committee 1s decided to slice $450,000,000. off War Department estimate of the FOUR OVERCOME AT $100,000 FIRE; iain |F eman Collapses, Is Dragged | Through Smoke and Flames by Comrades.

They tried to get him to a Window, but the flames and smoke drove them back, nearly overpowering them. They succeeded in getting him down the stairs to the street. There all collapsed and were treated by Dr. Shellburne of the Brad- ford Street Hospital Morris Adier, son of Joseph Adler, one of the owners of the Highgrade Shoe Company, this morning insisted upon a rigid investigation by the Fire Marshal because of a recent series of labor troubles in the factory. The American Goodyear Protective Union, and the Children's Shoe Work- ers’ Union have been clashing, and last Monday Paul Langer, foreman, was attacked and beaten up Between 300 and 400 men and wom- en were thrown out of employment wy the fire.

Carpentier, Beau Brummell of Fisticuffs, Is Far From Low-Browed Hero of the Ring, MAY NOT BE KNOWN Then he and Madame motor to and through the Bois de Boulogne, They have two cars, a speed car and a tour- ing car. These, by the way, were left behind, but two other cars have been! put at their disposal while they are in New York by the Robertson-Cole Company. Going through Paris M Carpentier drives, but once the Bois| is reached Madame sits at the steer- ing wheel. From 11 to 1 Carpentier is thus motoring or walking at the popular | rendezvous of the smart world of Paris. He lunches at 1, He eats simple food with plenty of green veg- etubles, and although he is a tem- Peraté person he has a Frenchman's pretty taste in wines. In the after- noon he usually spends at least two hours in some form of athletic exer- cises. He and his wife join the social dancing at the “five o'clocks” in the smart French restaurants. After dinner they attend the opera or a theatre or Some social entertainment. Of course he wears the clothes suit- ble for each function, sometimes nging six or eight times a day. They were married only a few days before sailingf, but this is the sort jot life to which Mme, Carpentier 2x- | pects to go back. She is a gray-eyed, nimated, tly rounded | young woman, with a sweop of tawny brown hair drawn simply back from her forehead and the gayest of She is a lady, just as her husb: an unmistakable exponent of French gallantry and grac well as of French valor, intelligence and endur- ance. 0, not the country life exclaimed impulsively asked her about the repor wanted to retire to a farm and raise | chickens. “That is all right when one is older, when one settles down. for me!" | when I that she wish to play. And Paris is the place to play. I adore it. I adore dancing and pretty dresses and music.” HEN, .whilo somebody else was a charting bit of by-play as winsome Madame glanced smilingly | over her shoulder at her adoring hus- band, who sat lightly on the arm of the couch she cecupied. He bent his head, she lifted hers and their eyes kissed if their lips remained as much as an inch and a half apart. A bit later in the interview, after Carpen- tier—I know he is prouder of being a husband than of being a champion— had kissed his wife’s hand and taken his departure, Madame — frankly Pressed her lips to iis good-looking countenance in a phowgraph of the two some one handed her to auto- graph. “I am passionately fond of motor- ing,” she admitted next, “but I like swimming even better.
