 Charles Browne.

New York, July 26-Although the safe delivery by Marshal Henkel at Sing Sing of Charles Browne, the for mer customs examiner, convicted of silk frauds, was generally regarded as a clever stroke at the expense of the prisoners lawyers Albert w. Bonynge of Black, Olcott, Gruber & Bonynge, declares it was a gross violation of in- ternational comity, and an insult to the Canadian government.
 He will apply at once for writ of habeas corpus, and says Browne must be brought to New York and tried on second indictment.

DOLLAR! DOLLAR! WHO'S
GOT WANDERING DOLLAR

The Wonder wants the wander
ing dollar Saturday and just to
show how anxious the big store is
to get the coin the management
offers to accept it as full payment
for 1925 worth of any goods In the
house. Now who says that dollar
spent in Spokane won't go farther
than if sent out of town?
Yesterday afternoon the last
heard of the wandering dollar was
at the Alma Market, 0172S Division
street. The proprietors were just
little afraid that the coin would
tempt bold, bad burglar, and, con-
sequently, expended it at the Nell
son Grocery near by. Mr.. Nelson
gave the dollar to one of his en-
ployes and the latter inveigled his
friend, the board house keeper, to
accept. Later it went to pay the
laundry bill and the last heard of
it this afternoon it was in the pos
session of a carpenter who had
taken 1t as part payment for work.

ed. There is no longer a deficit
In fact, the present fiscal year will
close with a surplus of at least
5000, 900; which will look well
against the record of last year
which closed with a deficit of near.
ly $24,000,OOO.
The fading of the deficit is an In.
dication of general prosperity. The
revenues come from duties on i'm.
ported merchandise and from the
tax on cigars, snuff, beer, liquors
etc.
The revenue from the latter taxes
is more steady than that which is
derived from the tariff duties, and
any falling off In the income gen.
orally means that the general bust.
ness of the country has sagged. A
comparison of the separate month.
ly statements this year with those
OF a year ago shows that this year
is better than the previous one by
very considerable per cent.
Meantime congress has had the
pruning hook into all appropria
tons. Army and civil expenditures
have been Topped off relentlessly
This under the personal supervi.
sion of Uncle Joe Cannon and Jim
Tawney, chairman of the house an.
preparations committee.
The February business turned
the scale. The deficit on Feb. q
was only $2S3,130. When the re-
ceipts of the month were counted
and the bills paid it was found on
Feb. % that there was a surplus OF
$1,102,000. The end of March saw
the balance increased to $5,772473
That settled the question of a de-
