DEFICIT AT THE END o. THE YEAR
Is Likely TO BE SIN, 600. 900. Much Less
Than Expected.

Than Expected.
Washington, June 2.-Treasury Off
Gals are now confident that the close of
the fiscal year, a month hence, will
show a deficit of not more than S44 ,OOO,-
900, which is at least $4,000 900 less than
was predicted four weeks ago and 3d.
100000 or 100000 less than the present
figures.
1t is shown that the pensions pay
ments during June will be at least $685.
$1,000 less than for May. and payments
on account of interest will also be re-
duced $1,500,000. With an increase of
the liquor, tobacco and oleomargarine
licenses, which must be paid before Ju-
ly /, and material reductions in pension
and interest payments. it is expected
that the next month will show a small
surplus. with the deficit further reduced
to at least $44, 900, 900.
The month of July. however, is likely
to see the deficit increased by at least
S10,000,000, as that months interest pay
ments will aggregate about $1,000 900.
Disbursements in every branch of the
government are usually much heavier
in July than in any other month, so
unless the receipts are greatly increas-
ed. the deficit August l next will not
likely fall short of $50, 5000 for the 13
months.

sEcRETeD BULLION FROM THE MINT
Sensational Disclosures by the Mistress
of n Former Employee.

Carson, New, June 4.-Flo Stewart
appeared before a police judge this
morning and swore out a warrant for
the arrest of ]. Picker, with whom
she has been living, for striking her.
Picker was arrested and placed under
800 bail to keep the peace. Later she
came to the attorneys for John T. Jones,
who is under arrest for being respOn-
sible for the mint shortage, and told
them Picker had a considerable amount
of bullion from the mint secreted about
his house.
A search warrant was Immediately
issued and in the presence of United
States Secret Service Agent Grant. Il
search was made. Nothing was found
in the house, but when digging in d
corner of the woodshed i'm the place
described by the woman, the officers
uncovered several large pieces of re-
torted amalgam. Picker up to this
time protested profound ignorance.
When confronted with the bullion, he
said it belonged to his brother in Idaho,
who sent it here to be coined six
months ago, but owing to the trouble
in the mint, he did not dare send it
there. The recovered amalgam weigh
ed 1919 pounds. Its fineness is not
known, but it is thought to be princi-
pally silver. Pickler said it was worth
$500, but the officers think it worth
more.
Further search will be continued to-
morrow. Mr.. Jones attorneys are sat
isfied that this discovery will lead to
something tangible soon. Picker was
in the smelling room under the CARAT
administration several years ago and
under Adams, the present superintend.
ent, he was not employed.
