BUDGET TO TOTAL
ABOUT $Il,2OO,OOO
District Estimates Based on
Calculations on Gross
Revenues.

,rhe District budget for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1911. will probably aggre-
gate about 81 10000.
This estimate is based on a caIcula-
ton that the gross revenue this year
will amount to approximately $4,000.
Under the law the Commissioners. are
permitted to ask Congress for a sum
not in excess of twice the estimated net
revenues Of the District
From twice the gross revenues or S12,-
5000 there would remain to be de-
Quoted $4,000
This would represent the interest on
the bonds issued TO provide or general
improvements before the establishment
Of the present form OF government. and
100000 interest and part payment OF
money advanced 10 the District BY the
Federal Government. These deductions
reduce the aggregate to S11.2o0. 600. which
VIII probably be the sum the Commis-
sioners will deem necessary for next
years e1 penses Of the Government.
The Commissioners are working until
late this afternoon on sheir estimates,
and will be engaged on them for the
next two weeks. II Is their hope to COM
plete them al least two weeks before
October IS. which IS the time required
by law for ali Government estimates to
be In the hancs Of the Secretary of the
Treasury.

Explorer Wants Time to Finish
Book Covering Trip of
400 Miles.

LONDON, Sept. f5.-In an arti-
Gle made public today, William T.
Stead reviews Explorer Frederick A.
Cooks account of his discovery of
the North Pole. Mr.. Stead writes:
am glad to have the opportunity
of writing a review of everything
DR.. Cook tod me at Copenhagen
concerning his march to the Pole
and of putting into shape all of the
various statements he made to mt.
BY way of introduction, let me
say that there are certain things
upon which Dr. Cook insisted, with
out variation or without the shadow
of turning, from first to last. There
are other things upon which he
might have made different state
ments, or at least formed his state
ments differently.
MAKES THREE CLAIMS.
The statements he persisted in
we're these:
First-He had discovered the
North Pole.
Second-He had his data, In the
shape Of scientific observations, a
diary, and the like, by which he
could convince any competent sci
entiflc authority as to the truth of
his assertions.
Third-That until he had made
good his claim by the production Of
these data he asked for nothing
more than to be left alone to com
plete his book and present his case
az a whole TO the scientific world.
HOLDS THE DATA.
The points upon which his state
ments varied were few, as they re-
lated almost exclusively TO the
question Of where he had his dccu-
ments upon which he relied for his
vindication.
! see by certain Newspaper re-
ports that he is represented as say
ing as he left Copenhagen to 20
aboard the Oscar II that all his
documents were aboard the Jeanle
and were we'll on their way to New
York This may be a mistake on
the part of some of the correspon-
dents, for it certainly doesn't agree
with a statement made to me by
DR.. Cook last Sunday at luncheon
at the American embassy.
I said to DR.. Cook:
Considering the immense tmportance
Of the documents containing your OBJ
servaticns, I suppose you have insured
them. What rate Of premium did you
have TO pay?''
There Is no insurance Office IN Green
land which would undertake such q
risk ne replied, smiling.
Then when I asked him what he had
done 70 safeguard them, as il was Of
vital Importance that ne should be able
TO produce them, DR.. Cook replied:
''In order to avoid any risk Of their
loss 7 divided them into two portions

brought here to Copenhagen; the rough
material upon which those results were

Taft Calls Franchise
Amendment Vicious
Beverly, Mass,

Sept. "a, 1909.
Editors Washington Times and Bal
timore News.
My Dear Sirs:-
have your letter concerning the
franchise amendment which it is
proposed by the Democratic party
in Maryland to adopt.
I have already, in another letter,
expressed my opinion IN regard to
its vicious character.
1t is deliberately drawn to impose
educational and other qualifications
for the suffrage upon negroes and
to exempt everybody else from such
qualifications.
This is gross injustice and is a
violation of the spirit of the Fif-
teentA Amendment.
1t ought to be voted down by
every one, whether Democrat or Re-
publican, who is in favor of a square
deal.
Sincerely yours,

Machinery in Congress Cleared for
Program -Aldrieh Blamed
fQr Much Prejudice.
By J. c. wELLIvER.

Nth he Boston speech If Presi-
dent Taft and the proceedings of the
american Bankers Association con-
vention, both indicating clearly d
purpose TO press for currency re-
form, based on the establishment of
central bank Of issue, it becomes
dear that the great campaign of edu-
iation on that subject is fairly
opened.
1t is going 10 be long pull, in the
rpinion even of the most enthusi-
astic advocates of this settlement of
The currency question, but they are
taxing hold of it with real enthusi-
aSps and for a year past they have
insisted that public opinion has been
Teering strongly in their direction.
A Stumbling Block.
There is a widespread opinion
that the most serious prejudice
against the central bank plan is
based on the fact that Senator
Aidrich is its foremost sponsor. On
the other hand, prejudice or no
prejudice, Aldrich does things. His
tRriff bill has been subjected to
noss bitter criticism, but it is the
'sw Of the land. he got what he
wanted. Can ne do the same with
the central bank proposal?
In Congress. so far as the ma
chinery is concerned, the ways have
been cleared for the program. The
House Committee on Banking and
Currency is headed by Mr.. Vree-
land, who has recently made an ad-
dress committing himself to this
plan Of currency reform. The Sen
ate Finance Committee is domi-
Hated by Aldrich. The Monetary
Commission likewise is an Aldrich
board. and the most important part
Of its work in Europe last summer
was the investigation Of the great
banks OF issue. especially the I'm
vsrlal German Bank, which is the
Aldrich ideal Of such an institution.
Taft's Views Clear.
Until his Boston speech Of last night.
President Tafts views on this subject
have been little known. further than
that he had declared himself decidedly
in favor OF currency reform. But
whether ne was prepared TO align him
self with the advocates OF a central
