THE DEFICIT SMALL
UNCLE SAM MAY NOT HAVE ANY
 SHORTAGE.
President Roosevelt Dlscusses Condt- ton of the Treasury With Caii- ers--Cannon is still
 Stand.PAtfer.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Among the subjects discussed by the President with some of his callers today was the probable condition of the treasury at the end Of the current fiscal year 1t is the opinion among Senators ana Representatives who have talked to the President about the matter that the deficit in the treasury this year after all, should be small. They point to the increased revenues of the treasury du- ring the past three or four months as an indication despite the somewhat in creased expenditures that no alarming deficit is likely.
 small deficit would cause no ap- prelIension in the mind of the Con- sressmen but many of them believe now that practically no deficit will be shown at the end of the year.
 Among the callers upon the Presi- dent was Senator Hale of Maine, Sem ator Dryden of New Jersey. Senator Burrows of Michigan. Senator Proctor tana.
 Speaker. Cannon and Representative McCleary of Minnesota also had talks with the President
 Senator Hale. when asked about the condition of the treasury said:
 T doubt whether there will be a deficit this year. At all events, if lHeIc SnOulQ Dcp IL VIII UC SIudil, JuuB ing from the present outlook, conse- quently there will be no need for leg islation providing for additional reve- nues."
 Senator Burrows expressed similar opinion.
 Representative McCleary, who is talked of as the possible Chairman of the House Committee on Appropria- tions, believes that the exercise of a-n in rto tof xrrfr an excess of expenditures over receipts. He suggested that any deficit might be provided for easily by the imposing of a tax of or 8 cents a pound on cof- fee.
 Such tax" said he. would be no hardship to the consumer and proba- ply would not result in the raising of the price of coffee.''
 Speaker Cannon, who called at the White House yesterday but did not see the President at that time. had con- ference with him today, the nature of which he did not disclose.
 On the tariff revision question Mir. Cannon indicated that he yet is standpatter. if said he, "a tariff bill should be brought under consider alton and we should proceed for twelve months or so with its discussion and then its friends should command the votes necessary to enact it into law and then the business interests should succeed in adjusting themselves to the new conditions, it probably would be found that the measure contained as many 'outrages' and 1njustices as the present law contains" -
 Do you think any sort of revenue legislation will be necessary at the ap- preaching session to provide for a pos- sible deficit in the treasury"
 Look at the balance sheets of the treasury" replied Mir. Cannon. They tell the story. We have a pretty com fortable surplus, don't you think?"

There is no truth in that statement, so help me God.'
 When his settlement was under dis cussion, Mir. Hyde said to him that, the Equitable Life had always made politi- cal contributions. aMr. Hyde did not give particulars. Here MT. odell was asked to tell precisely the facts about the introduction of the Amber bill. He replied: s,.sslr4
 why had prepared the introduc- ton of that bill and, brought the whole shipbuilding case before MT. Jerome, the District Attorney of NeW York, and stated he better look into 1t and see if there was anything connected with 1t or anything in connection with the scandal. which,-shou not be investi- gated by his ofice.
 He had the case for some time and he said to me after several weeks that he lad gone into 1t very carefully and he came to the conclusions khere were no grounds for criminal prosecution.
 Some Other Concerns.
 Tn the meantime such concerns as the Fire Company and the Whiting Pa per Company and American Bicycle Trust and some fourteen or fifteen others had been mentioned as having been either projected by Alexander and Green and presumably with the ap- proval and with the support of the Mercantile Trust all Of which had been failures and 1t was suggested that something ought to be done to stop that and in talking over the matter in conference with people who came into it was decided that some legislation, some remedial legislation could be for mulated and prevent the unloading on the public of these securities among others those which I have mentioned
 Tn the meantime the papers had taken antira1v onistic view of the matter. Whether they had been inspired or not do not know, but there was more or less talk about it being a measure to get even | with somebody; and then when Senator Ambler came in to see me. and talked with me about it. said to him that under the circumstances he had better let the whole thing drop.
 No Cross Examination. Mir. Untermyer asked permission to | cross examine Mir Odell. but was re- fused. Justice E. F. Ransome, counsel for G. H. Squire. was next called. He said Mfr. Squire is a very sick man. He presented a statement relative to the transactions in Lawyers Titles Insur- ance stock and the c. H. Squire trustee account

Odell waived the loss he had sustained by selling his bonds hastily and either Mir. Hyde or Mir. Colby offered to settle the suit by pay ment of sS7.500. Mir. Odell stood out for $75,o00. They reached no conclu- sion at that interview but a few weeks later Mir Odell received a check for $75,000.
 "The settlement of that suit" said MT. Odeli, was made by an assignment of all my claims as understood it, to the Mercantile Trust with the under standing that the suit was not to be dropped, II was to be carried along"
 MT. odell said he told James H. Hyde at their first interview that the Ambler bill would be stopped by him; that there was no fear. no matter what was done about his settlement of any re- taliatory legislation. He did not bother Mir. Hartman about the matter.
 Favored Hyde for NAmbassador.
 Mir. Odeli said he wrote letter at the request of Mir. Mcintyre, former Fourth vice-President of the Equita- bIe. in behalf of Mir Hyde's candidacy for the French Apibassadorship. This had nothing to do with the ship build- ing settlement. The letter was writ ten before the settlement.
 We have had mentioned in the course of your testimony. the subject of contributions for political purposes; you have stated you never solicited any from an insurance company; were any ever made to you voluntarily7"
 No"
 Did any ever come to you indi- rectly?"
 Possibly, through the National Committee and through Senator Platt"
 What relation had Senator Platt to the matter?'
 ''He always gathered all the funds together ever since I have been con nected with Republican politics, except last year"
 Witness said he knew nothing of the efforts of insurance companies to prevent inimical legislation. and knew 4. C. Fieldss activity in that direction only by hearsay. He did not know Andrew Hamilton. He said no money had ever been placed in his. hands di- rectly or indirectly for political pur- poses or otherwise to influence legisla- tion.
 Not the OnIy Suit Settled.
 His was not the only ship building euit settled. said Mir Odell. The Un- termyer suit was settled, and so were others. He felt that his claims were just.
 "of course,'' said Mir. Hughes. you will understand the committee is not here to try out the merits of the claim we are simply interested because def- mite threats were made that"

RULERS OF THE WORLD.
Meat Eating Nations Are the Leaders Tn Every Branch of Human
 Achievements

Achievements.
 The ruling nations of the world are meat eaters and history records that they always have been.
 Vegetarians and food cranks may explain that in any way they choose, but the facts remain that the Ameri- cans, English, French, Russians and Germans are meat-eating nations, and they are also the most energetic and most progressive.
 soldier. known as Biltong, Is a sort of dried beef. affording a great deal of nourishment in a highely concen- trated form.
 The weak races of people are the rice eating Chinese. Hindoos and Siamese. regarded since the dawn of history as non-progressive, supersti- tious and inferior physically and mem tally to the meat-eating nations who dominate them.
 The structure of the teeth plainly indicates that human beings should subsist upon a variety of food, meat, fruit and grains, and 1t is unhygenic to confine ones diet to any one of those classes to the exclusion of an- other.
 Meat is the most concentrated and most easily digestive of foods. but our manner of living is often so unnatural that the digestive organs refuse to properly digest meat, eggs and similar nutritious and wholesome food. but 1t is not because such food is unwhole- some, but the real reason is that the stomach lacks, from disease or weak ness, some necessary digestive ele- ment; hence arising indigestion and, later on, chronic dyspepsia.
 Nervous people should eat plenty of meat convalescents should make meat the principal food, hard working people and ofice men should eat, not so much meat; but at least once a day, and to insure its perfect diges- tion one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should be taken after each meal, because they supply the pep tones, diastase and fruit acids, lack ing in every case of stomach trouble.
 Nervous dyspepsia, catarrh of stom- ach, gastritis. sour stomach, gas and acidity are only different names for the failure to digest wholesome food. and the use of Stuart's Dyspesta Tablets cures them all because. by affording perfect di- gestion, the stomach has a chance to rest and recover its natural tone and vigor.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the real household medicine; it Is as safe and pleasant for the stomach ache of the baby as it Is for the imperfect di- gestion of its grand sire.
 They are not a cathartic. but a d. gestive. and no pill habit can ever follow their use; the enly habit stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets induce is the habit of good digestion and conse- duently good health.

 Henry Rogers winthrop. the financial manager of the Equitable. was called and said he instructed Mr. Gilchrist 10 make these loans at the instance of MT. Jordan. Mir. Jordan's discretion as 70 what amount of cash balance would DC carried in proportion to the companys assets was final.

 At the conclusion of the testimony or Mir. Bailey, who followed Mir. Junk on the stand the committee adjourned un- til stomorrow.

cAsTHo,s LATEST STUNT.
Declines to Make Second Payment ol , h- RA

Declines to Make Second Payment on
 the PlumIey Award.
 Paris, Nov. 16.--The Foreign once Is advised that President Castro yesterday refused to pay the second installment of the PIumley arbitration award. The arbitration covered damages sustained by French citizens in Venezuela during revolutionary periods prior to 1903
 Judge Frank PlumIey of Northheld, Vt, was president of the arbitration commission which met at Northfield last year. The judgment was in favor of France which was awarded about $650.- 900, and President Castro paid the first installment of the award three months ago.
 The second payment. due yesterday. was not paid. Apparently the vene- zuelan Presidents failure to pay the installment was on the ground that diplomatic relations between France and Venezuela are interrupted. The officials here decline to admit that this justified President Castro in not paying the installment. The incident is con- sidered to be further provocation.

CRIMINAL MALPRACTICE.
Aged Physician of Norfolk Allowed
 Bail Tn Sum of S1O,OOO.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 16.--Luther Chiles, charged with criminal malpractice on Miss Sarah Atkins, now i'll in the Nor folk Protestant hospital was today ad- mitted to bail by Judge Heneckel in the sum of $10,000.
 The prisoner. feeble in health and barely able to walk from the city jail to the court room, was brought into court by the sergeant with his son supporting him.
 Chief of Police Bousch stated that Dr. Doughty. Miss Aatkinson's attend ing physician, had announced that while there was a general improve ment in the patients condition she was still seriously III and it could not be said she would recover.
 The court said the prisoner had . right to bail and recited that even in the event of the death of Miss At- kinson, the charge could only be in the second degree murder or man. slaughter against the accused.
