Chairman Tawney Is Figuring
 on Appropriations
ECONOMY IS WATCHWORD
Currency Question Is Now Worrying Republicans and Chairman Fowler Is Expected To Bring In
 Financial Bill.

Washington, December 10.-(Special) Chairman Tawney of the House appro- priation committee has already begun to figure on the appropriations of the first session. While the committee has not been appointed nearly all the old members will be retained and several of the bills which will be reported within the next month are being framed.
 2 The last session of Congress ap- propriated s920,000,000 and the esti- mates for the present sesion are s996.- 900, ,000. This time last year the re- ceipts of the government exceeded the expenditures by about SIS, 1000, 900, while on January 1 it is expected that the expenditures will exceed receipts by $7,000,000 or $S,000,000. In other words the financial depression has begun to affect the revenues of the government and it is assumed that unless.the sit uation changes the custom and internal revenue receipts will continue to de- crease with the possibility of a de- felt of $2o.O00,OOO by the end of the fiscal year.
 Officials take 1t as a matter of course that orders for importations are sub stantially falling off and will not cease to do so unless complete business con fidence is restored. Naturally, with revenues decreasing the watchword of the congre ssional appropriations com mittees will be economy. There is no chance for rivers and harbors bill this session and even a public buildings bill which is ordinarily passed at the first session may be allowed to go over until next winter.
 Currency MuddIe.
 The House republicans are in mud dle over the currency question and no one knows hod it is all to turn out. only that if anything goes through it will finally bear the imprint of Senator Aldrich's o. k.

Governor Johnson himself may head Mln- mesota's d allegation to the next conven- tion, instructed for the Nebraskan. Not l next year, bht some time in tie future, , l Minnesota will present candidate for the presidency and he will be one who will be known by that time all over the country. Governor Johnson has grown wonderfully and will continue to do sy. It seems to me that the future has more in store for him than any other man on the democratic horizon

REAL, LIVE GHOST
HAUNTS STATION
Young Woman Frightens
Agent Almost to
Death.

WELLESLEY. Mass. Nov. is.-The
Boston and Albany railroad station at
wellesley farms Is haunted" now.
The townspeople think the agency the
same as that through which one night
operator was killed, two were murder
ously assaulted. and a dozen scared
from their work az the Wellesley teIe-
phone exchange
The young woman, whom the agent
really took for a ghost at first, put out
the lights by cutting of the gas sup
ply. AS the startled agent looked up
from his work he saw the hand sweep
ing up and down the outside OF the
window pane. Then Il vanished and re-
appeared at another window
Draped as It was IN fimsy lace, II
looked so much ike that OF a ghost
that 1t took ali the agents pluck 20
rush outside TO investigate. He did It,
however. to find the signal lamps gone
and a young woman fleeing down the
platform toward a Boston train which
was just pulling in.
Before ne could reach her she had
lcaped aboard the train. There was no
time to search the cars. so she escaped.
Despite the agents opinions. the police
are trying 20 connect the manifesto ton
with the cries Of horror at the teIe-
phone exchange. The murder Of the op-
orator has never been discovered, and
many people think the place haunted by
a real ghost"
