Russian Duma
Begins Debate
Annual Budget
Members Insist That Too Large Per.
centage of Revenue Goes to
Military Purposes.

ST. PETERSBURG. March 2.-General
debate on the budget OF 1909 began in the
Duma today, with a program Of speeches
by the president of senate l.. Alexlenko,
the constitutional democratic member, NJ.
shengaretf and Minister OF Finance Kokov-
soft. The principal criticism was leveled
against the disproportionate amount Of the
military appropriation as compared with
that for cultural purposes, the expensive
conditions of the last loan and the absence
OF the strict economy which Russian
finances demand. M. Alexienko showed
that expenditures had increased $lSS, Co., 900
in the last two years, as compared with an
earlier annual average OF $40, 100000. He
said that 1874 per cent of the budget esti-
mate was devoted to military purposes and
1871 per cent to education, agrarian re-
forms, etc. He called attention to the un-
favorable change in the balance Of trade,
which he said was due to the steadily in
creasing imports and the falling off in
exports. In conclusion he declared that the
record OF the last loans constituted a
chronicle of the death Of Russian credit.
~Shengareff pointed out that the expendi-
lures of the ministries OF war and interior
and of the prison department had increased
80 per cent during the constitutional epoch
and those of the ministries of education
and agriculture u per cent. He demanded
a reduction Of the peace strength Of the
army. =.
Finance Minister Kokovsoff in reply con-
coded the justice of the criticisms of the
military expenditure and declared that no
further increase should be allowed. The
last loan. he said, had been concluded under
difficult circumstances and with the war
cloud hanging over the Balkans delay was
impossible. Nevertheless, the terms were
far better than those of the previous loan
and none could have been obtained under
more favorable conditions. Foreign in
v~estors. he declared in conclusion. had con-
fidence in the third Duma, and If the Duma
and the administration would cooperate
loyalty the creit of the country, soon would
be restored to a condition worthy OF a
great state.

Bryan md Bank pepo.t,s.

VERONA, Neb., March Ito the Edi-
tor of The Bee: There has been so much
said to this Legislature by Mr.. Bryan about
platform pledges and bank guarantee, etc,
that a little history of past platform dec
larations by our party on Bryan's financial
theories may be refreshing.
In 1900 | asked Congressman Hitchcock,
who was one of Bryan's managers, why
free silver could not be left out of the plat
form? He replied that they had to put
ii in the platform or the republicans would
put Mr.. Bryan in a hole. He advocated It
80 strong in 1896 that to go back on 1t now
would do up Mr.. Bryan. All the delegates
knew it was silly to again advocate 1t and
a delegation of MIR. Bryan's friends dnclud-
ing a we'll known Nebraska democratic
EDITOR journeyed from Kansas City to Lin
coin and staid up all night with Mr.. Bryan,
trying to have him abandon It, but they
were met with the same response, Must
60 in and it went in, not because they
believed in 1t. but to save Mr.. Bryan's face.
When the panic came Mr.. Bryan con-
menced advocating a guarantee law with
immediate payment, and he and Haskell
forced 1t in the platform. Nobody believes
that the southern and eastern democrats
believed in 1t. But Mr.. Bryan was abso-
| lutte dictator and would pounce down on any
democrat who. like Guffey. refused to do
his bidding. But now Mr.. Bryan has been
| shorn of his power to harm the democratic
party. Three times beaten by the sane
voters of both parties everybody knows it
is absolutely silly to follow him now, and
whv can't Governor Shallenberger and our
democratic members of the legislature a
| their places at the head of the democratic
column, where we asked them to go, by
giving them more votes then we did Mr..
Bryan? Could anything be more humiliat-
ing to the intelligent democratic voters than
to have our legislature pass a banking law
that every intelligent banker knows will
end in disaster? If all the successful and
intelliSent farmers said a proposed law for
the supposed benefit OF farmers could only
end in disaster to the farmers would our
legislature pass It because one man forced
Il in the platform? Why take chances on
the ISL. 900 of deposits in safe banks.

HINT AT A MYSTERY IN
THE PARIS CRUELTY CASE
Authorities Trying to Trace Parent
of Children Alleged to Have
Been M~istreated.

PARIS, March Tine newspapers are
deeply absorbed with the case OF the Eng
lishman Sargent and his wife, said to be
an American, who were arrested at AS
neires, charged with the gross Ill treatment
Of four children whom they had adopted,
and claim that the developments indicate
the probability Of a great scandal.
The chief energy of the authorities is
befng directed to trace the parentage Of
the children abandoned to the custody of
the Sargeants. They find that Mrs. Sar-
gent claims the oldest child, who was so
severely beaten, was named Mary Ann
Edgworth. and that she was born October
IS, 1899, in Newark, N. J.
The authorities also say the woman in
sists that she is the daughter of a French
man named savin, and an American
woman, who now live in the United States.
and that they forward her each year So, 900
as an allowance. She refused to give the
maiden name OF her mother, or the present
residence Of her parents.
Before an examining magistrate today
the woman declared that she had not mall
treated the children. that she had only
classified them when punishment was
necessary. She said she had adopted the
NhiiuTeH beCdusc II IONCu NNCm' lneT6
were violent scenes in the court room be-
tween the accused couple and their SER
wants, the latter charging the woman with
being a prevaricating monster. Sargent
collapsed when the magistrate was examin-
ing him and was removed from the court
room in a semi-conscious condition.
The police say they have established the
fact that the youngest child adopted by
the Sargents, was born in November at
the Holy Trinity lodge, an Anglo-Amerlcan
institution, the membership Of which Is
composed OF English and American girls.
The official register gives the name OF
the child as Kenneth Edgminister, a son
Of Mabel johnson. In December. after
having verified excellent references given
by the Sargents, the lodge turned over
this child to the couple.
Mrs. Savin, si~ster-in-law of Mrs. Sargent,
says that Mr.. savin, the father of the sc-
cused woman, Is a wealthy financier who
resides in New York. She says also, tina
Mr.. and Mrs. Ssvin. the parents Of Mrs.
Sargent, separated a number of years ago
and that Mrs. savin went with her laugh
ter to London, where she died. savIn
afterward signed a deed agreeing to pay
his daughter 5000 annually.
Referring 10 the E~dgeworth child, Mrs.
Savin said she was the daughter OF a
woman who was employed as a cook in
Newark.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The supreme

In the course Of his opinion Justice Peck
ham took into consideration the effect OF
a decision along the lines OF Mr.. Bro"" S
contention. saying: Even If n court OF
equity had jurisdiction, we must consider the
result Of a decree in accordance with Mr..
Browns complaint. The corpora-Ion is ore
of the largest in the world, with more than

ment had been entered into.

action was taken.
