ruled him.

OUT OF MONEY.
The Appropriations for Marshals, AttOr-
neys and Others.

Curiosity as to expenditures in the De-
partment of Justice, says a Washington
special, has been stimulated by Attorney
General Brewster's estimate Of the detci-
ency in his department for the current
year. The appropriations for Marshals,
attorneys, clerks, jurors and witnesses,
aggregating 81, 1856, 900, were exactly the
same for the last fiscal year and the cur
rent fiscal year. At the end of the last
fiscal year the deficiency was only $50, 900,
of which S150,000 was for Deputy Mar
shals' fees that had been unpaid two or
three years. GOw, three months before
the end of the fiscal year, the Attorney
General reports a deficiency OF $345,000
IN these five items, besides a deficit of
$50. .1j0 in miscellaneous items. The ap-
DrOpriatiOn for Marshals' fees. which was
$500 900 in each of the last two appropria-
tien bills, now shows a deficit of $4,000.
There is a $4,000 shortage in the matter
of district attorneys salaries, for which
the appropriation for the current and past
fiscal wears was 1925, 900. The deficit is
easily accounted fOr-the employment of
Bliss. Merrick and Ker. The apprOpria-
ton for clerks is S160, 900 year, and the
deficiency for this year is 100000. The
annual appropriation for jurors is $780,
GOO. and the deficiency is 100000. The ap-
propriation for witness fees is 100000,
and the deficiency is $4,000.
