Millions Ahead Of ANY Previous

Year
Washington, Specialist far as
working purposes are concerned, the
fiscal year of the government closed
Saturday, with a surplus Of substan-
italy $S7 ,000,0C0, one Of the largest
net balances every shown. In the
fiscal year 1902, there was a surplus
of $81, ,297. .3G5, but that was the larg-
est since 1890.
While the official figures for the
fiscal year will not be announced un-
til Monday, the figures available are
approximately accurate. They show
that in the year just closed, the in
come from the various sources OF

ditures $57S,376,709, as compared
with receipts of $5S9, ,754, ,296 for the
last fiscal year and expenditures of
S56S, ,7S4,79G. the surplus in that year
being S25 5,G69.322.
This has been a tremendous in
crease in receipts in the year just
closing, while the expenditures have
been only about $10,C00,000 in excess
Of the last year. The largest increase
in receipts has been from customs,
although internal revenue has shown
q big gain.
The receipts from the different
sources this fiscal year have been as
follows:
Customs 1888. .230,126, internal rev.
enue $G270, ,309,3S8, miscellaneous SOL
7G6.6l9.
There has been no year in the his
tory Of the country in which the re-
ceipts from customs came within
many millions Of the present year.
The receipts last year held the rec
ord up to that tiine and this years
income from that source is about
$33.000,000 in excess of last year.

ments Were Stolen.

Boise, Idaho, Special - Morris

who left the employment OF the Pink

book IN which he published certain
correspondence of the agency that
passed through his hands. was again
the principal figure at the trial os
William ID. Haywood for the murder
OF former Governor Stuenenberg.
More than half of the courts day
was occupied III reading to the jury
copies of the documents which Fried
man took from the Pinkcrton re-
cords. They were chiefly the daily
reports Of secret agents operating as
spies among the unions at Cripple
City, Trinidad and Denver and show
ed a complete surveillance Of tie

the United Mine Workers Of Ameri-
ca during the labor troubles in Colo
rado in 1903-04 Pinkerton men SAT
III the federation convention at Dem
yer in 1904, reporting all proceed
ines.
None of the reports that were pro
duced by Friedman and read to the
jury by Clarence Darrow contained
other than general references to The
collateral issues Of the trial. but ther
were offered in substantiation of tie
Plnkerton agency conspiracy for the
destruction of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners and the lives of its
leaders.
No Opposition From State.
The prosecution offered no opposi-
ton to any feature of Friedman s
testimony and no objection to the IN
PRODUCTION Of any of the documents
the defense obtained through him.
When Friedman was handed over for
cross-examination the State endea>-
ored to ascertain whether Friedman
had any more reports or letters bear
ing on the general issue It attacked
Friedman on the ground that he had
played the Pinkertons false. had vio-
lated his pledge to them and lad
stolen the documents which he pro
duced but the witness would not adj
NIT that he had stolen the papers
and would not allow Senator Borah
to call him a "Pinkcrton He in
sisted that it was not stealing to take
| information that had been obtained
by the fraud and deceit Of secret
service men, and declared that the
public service which he performed il
informing the people OF the methods
of the agency, fully justified any
thing that he had done
Friedman said that if he had
known that this trial was coming up,
| he would have tacn many more LEI
| ters and reports. Senator Borah
pressed him to tell just what records
there was in the Pinkerton office d.
Denver bearing directly on this ease
and, while the witness said he could
not tell him of any particular one,
he remembered many letters written
| by Detective Mcfarland II which
all manner of crimes were laid at the
, door of the Western Federation OF
Miners.
