Some New Figures
Here are some new comparative fig.
ures on republican extravaganza:
From 1881 to 1883 the average yearly
expenditures of the federal govern
ment were $25S,000,0 900; for the eight
years beginning with 1891 they aver
aged 1872 100000, while for the CORE
spending period beginning with 1901
after the Spanish-American war was
iover-they averaged $550,000,000 In
20 years the cost of governing the
country has thus more than doubled
The more the Aldrich-Taft plan s

learned about it, the less favorably Il
compares with an income tax. Men
that have already amassed colossal

Hns Stirred Hornets Nest.
II is the general opinion here that
President Taft has stirred up hor

the income tax, and that the buzzine

for Murderer.

New York, June 24.-After a day
of conflicting statements the dis
trict attorneys Office acting under
instructions from Mr.. Jerome, and
the police department, under orders
from Commissioner Bingham, refus-
ed last night to discuss further what
progress had been made in the
search for Leon Ling, the Chinaman
who is wanted for the murder of
Elsie Sigel, whose body was found
in trunk in room over an Eighth
avenue chop suey restaurant last
Friday night.
Nor would they discuss the results
of the examination of Chung Sin,
Leon Ling's former roommate, who
has been variously reported to have
witnessed the crime, to have aided
in roping the trunk and finally mere
Iy to have seen the girls body. There
have been hourly reports of clews
from all parts of the country, but
none of them, on close examination,
brings the authorities any nearer to
the murderer.

who volunteered as an interpreter
and in whom the police have every

Chung Sin, with an earnestness that
carried conviction, that no Chinese
society would aid him in suppressing
the facts or in concealing Leon Ling,
| but that, on the contrary, every
Chinaman of influence and respon-
sibility in the country felt that the
case was bringing disrepute on the

the police in efforts to run down the

in season and out of season, de-
nounced this as radical departure
from the well established. principles
and policies of the democratic faith
ers. After citing many authorities,
he traced the advocacy of free raw
material to the late Hon. Abram S.
Hewitt of New York, but declared
that this doctrine had never com
manded any substantial support
among the leaders or with the rank
and file of that sturdy democracy
which won so many victories and
administered this government with
such consummate wisdom through so
