Miller took a firm stand against the payment of deficits in any of the State departments, He declared the man on the job ought to keep within his appropriation as a part of the job. He strongly recom- mended that where a department ex- ceeded its appropriation, the deficit whould be made good out of the cur- rent appropriation. ‘This would be not only a lesson in ecqnomy, he said, but would make the department heads more careful with the peopie’s money. “We Don't Know How Long He'll Be With Us,” Says Delaney in B.

By David Lawrence. i | (Special Correspondent of the Eve- | ning World.) WASHINGTON, Feb. ‘0 (Copy- right, 1931)—The influence of Preal- dent-elect Harding and Elihu Root, both of whom advised Republican leaders in Congress that it would be unwise to commit America for the present to a reduction of naval arm- ament, finally has prevailed. And the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs hag recommended that construction on ships already authorized be con- tinued until an international disarm- ament agreement makes it safe to do otherwise. About the time that Senetor Borah began his campaign for a three-party agreement, whereby the United States, Great Britain and Japan would agree to reduce naval armament, the move- ment in Congreas to cut down naval appropriations on ships already ur- der construction began to grow. One day a Republican member of Con- gress happened to be calling upon Secretary Daniels at the Navy De- partment. “I'm going to Marion to-morrow,” said the Republican member with a the Governor's party, and especially to department heads, It didn’t have @ practical ring to them and this Is 3 Vi ing i what has happened: a khaghipan i ae 96,000,000 IN “DEFICIT” TO BE MADE uP.

HARDING AND ROOT CHANGE DISARMAMENT TIDE. Several days later the same view was brought to President-clect Har- ding from other quarters, The plan of baving Elita Root write a letter to members of the House Committee on Naval Affairs was adopted in order to prevent action in the House that might enybarrass Mr. Harding when he took office. Conferences with Sen- ate leaders ensued and Mr. Harding made it plain that dt would be unwise for the United Gtates to take the ini- tiative in disarmament when there was no aswurance concerning the at- titude of other powers and that it would be particularly embarrassing if the United States scrapped her navy and then sat down to the table with the other powérs in an effort to Induce them to do likewise, Mr. Handing took the view that thé United States would have much more influence at a disarmament confer- Wealth to Oil Magnate. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. — That John D, Rotkefeller is the richest peraon in the United States, and Mra, E. H. Herriman is the wealthiest woman, is deduced from income tax statistics just published by the In- ternal Revenue Bureau. It is estimated that Mr. Rockefeller has accumulated $1,500,000,000 during his Hifetime, and that in 1918 his totu! wealth was between $800,100,000 and $1,000,000,000, and now is not mueb jess, though his known total bene- factions aggregate $00,000,000, Statistics show that for 1918 Mr. Rockefeller paid income tax on a net taxable Income of between $20,000,000 and $25,000,000, probably about §22,- 000,000 after general deductions trom bis returned income of nearly $33,- 000,000, This did not include exemp- tions on charitable bequests, nor in- come from tax exempt securities, Consequently some estimate that Mr, Rockofeller’s gross tmeome in 1918 was between $40,000,000 and $60,- 000,000, probably nearer the latter— ence not only if she continued to build the ships which had already been authorized but if she showed the world that she would continue to ex- pand her nayy unless an absolute agreement were entered into reliev- ing the peoples of the world of the burdens of taxation which a naval building race would entat!. The action of the Senate Naval Affairs Com'mittee in contending that the United States must have a navy “at least equal to that of any other power,” is not a jingoistic observation nor the beginning of any navalistic ambitions aimed ut Germany or any other power, It is part of the Repub- lican polley of compelling disarma- ment by butiding up to the naval strength of any other power so that the example of the United States and Great Britain in agreeing jointly to reduce armaments may be followed by powers of lester naval strength. NO CHANCE OF ACTION BY THIS CONGRESS. Having succeeded in suspending for the present the movement in Congress to curtall building appropriations, it Is to be expected that naval expendi - tures of other kinds will be sharply pruned. Although Mr. Borah und Sthers probably will not consent to be silent on disarmament proposals, the chance of action by the present Congress has passed and the whole problem has been left for the next President of the United States, who really wanted it handled that way so he might have a powerful lever in his first negotiations on a foroisn policy. Great Britain, aware of Mr, Har- ding's views, promptly called Auck- land Geddes, British Ambassador here, for @ conference abroad with the Prime Minister and the British Cabinet. When Sir Auckland left the United States he knew that the @ dollar for every tick of the clock— and that his income represented total ‘wealth of probably §1,000,000,000 or more, and probably is not much less now. The Government, of course, gives no names of persons paying taxeson great incomes, but it is easy to de- duce who many of them are, For instance, only one man listed as “sin- gle” reported a personal” income of more than $4,000,000, and as Mr. Rockefeller widower and would be listed as ingle,” he is undoubt- ediy the only “single’ man in the United States who would pay income tax on more than $4,000,000. There are two other such Incomes listed, one reported jointly by husband and wife, and one by a “single” woman, all from New York State. The woman listed as “single” paid taxes for 1918 on an income of from 14,000,000 to $5,000,000. In other tables the residence of this woman is given as New York State. Mrs, Harriman \is a widow and the inheritor of al- most all her husband's estate. She may be next in wealth to Mr, Rocke- feller. Kesides the three income returns over $4,000,000 made from New York Stgte, there were also three incomes of from $4,000,000 to $4,000,000 reported from taxpayers of New York State, WHAT IS DOING TO-DAY IN CONGRESS SENATE, Immigration Committee to frame emergency immigration whole question of disarmament would come up in the very beginning of the Harding Administration and that he could spend the month of February in no better way than in formulating proposals for Mr, Harding’s connid- eration during the month of March, APPEALS FOR IRISH PEACE.

Kenneth Spence, assistant to Col, Henry L, Stimson, Special Attorney Genera), questioned the witness. * It became ‘apparent at once that no generally harmonious plan of procedure has develuped among the four groups of lawyers representing the four agcused men. They crossed each other with objections and insist- ing on points of benefit to the indi- viduel defendant, regardies of the in- terests of the others. In the examination of Mr. Dean, distinctly an anti-Hettrick witness, Mr. Elder's otjections were varied by objections made by Lawyer Fallon “for all the other defendants." One of these supplementary objections was that papers from the Hettrick offices, bearing date before the con- spiracy charged, were not properly én the case, so far as Messrs. Chap- man, Doran and Smith were con- cerned. Mr, Dean said he kept accounts for Mr. Hettrick for thirty different plumbing firms. His first task was to find out the average amount of yearly business done by the thirty firms altogether and individually for seven years before April, 1919. These furnished the data, the wit- ness said he was told by Mr, Het- trick, for the share of new businesi to be alloted to each firm.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb, 10.—A six hour battle early to-day between « negro, who had and killed a« ‘woman in the house where he was living, and nearly 100 policemen and firemen, resulted in the captupé of the man, mortally wounded, and the injuring of four policemen? Pistols, axes, high-pressure fire howe, sulphur candles and other chemicals wore used against the negro who had bar- ricaded himself in the house. Attention was attracted to the negro, who was known as William Dregen, “Alabama Joe” and other names when he shot Grace Robinson, a negress, and threw her body out of the house. A negro poligeman attempted to arres: him and was shot in the leg. Reserves were sent for, and when they attempt- ed to break into the house the negro appeared with two pistols and fired rapidly, wounding another policeman in the head. Dresen managed to barricade the doors’ and the police called upon the Fire Department for assistance. A high pressure bose was kept in op- eration and every tine the negro ap- peared at a window he was driven back by @ rush of water, but not be- fore he managed to fire several shots, Two other patrolmen were injured. The besiegers then resorted to strategy @ud procured sulphur can- dles and other chemicals fram a hos- tal to drive him out. The negro, however, kept all windows open, and this mode of attack failed. Finally Richard Anderson, a negro member of the Police Vice Squac, managed to get into the house un seen by the barricaded man and the two met at a stairway. There was @ fusillade of shota and “Alabama Joe" tumbled to the bottam of the stairs, Anderson was not hurt. 8\x policemen seized the wounded negro and an examination at the hospita! showed he bad been shot six times. t is beleved he received some of the wounds before Anderson fired at 1m. During the siege police discovered ‘two women and a fourteen-year-old ” oy were on the third floor of the house, While police kept Dresen away from the windows by «a barrage of rifle shots firemen ran a ladder to the third floor, permitting the three to descend.
