PRESIDENT CUTS
ARMY ESTIMATES
WANTS THEM PRUNED UNTIL
HARDLY RECOGNIZABLE
FlcERS RESENTFUL.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-President
Taft sent back to the War Department
the estimates submitted to him for the
support of the military establishment
for the fiscal year 1911, and indicat-
ed his desire that they should be cut
approximately $4,000 ,000.,
The estimates were prepared during
Secretary Dickinson's visit to Panama
and carefully scrutinnzed by Acting
Secretary oliver who reduced them
to $171,65O,OOO $1S,OOO,OOO less than
the estimates for 1910. but about SIG,
100000 more than the appropriations
for that year. When Mr.. Taft saw
the figures he expressed his wish that
they be $40,000,000 less than the ap.
preparations for 1910.
Assistant Secretary oliver has sue
ceeded in reducing the figures $751;
100000, half the amount asked for by
the President. and they have now been
submitted to Secretary Dickinson for
final consideration.
If he reduces them to the extent the
President wants them cut, 1t will in
volve still further cut of about $751;
100000. The totals do not include
expenses on account of the Panama
Canal, nor the permanent annual APP
preparations.
Army officers say that the reduction
in estimates, If persisted in by the
President. means practically no con-
struction for the army during 1911.

TWELVE THOUSAND SALARY
Appointment Was Regarded as Slap
in Face Of Certain Faetion-This

of Hanna's Potege.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The APP
pointment of Elmer Dover, of Ohio,
fermer secretary OF the republican ma
tional committee, as United States
bank examiner for New York City,
has been revoked or suspended. Law
renee o. Moriarity, the comptroller of
the currency, made the appointment
with President Taft's concurrence and
probably at his suggestion. 1t is un-
derstood that the direction to revoke
or suspend it came from the White
House.
There is much reticence in official
circles over the matter. According to
one story, which has a reliable source,
the revocation or suspension was the
result of what was regarded as an
indiscreet effort to make it appear that
Mr.. Dover had been given recognition
by President Taft to show Mr.. Dover's
power and influence with the new ad-
ministration and that his selection
was intended as a slap at certain
prominent politicians. Only the other
day President Taft revoked the ap
pointment of a Kansas man to an
Office under the department of justice
because Gov. Justice Stubs, of Kan
sas, apparently had tried to show that
this appointment was meant as a re-
buke to United States Senator Curtis
and part OF an administration plan to
defeat. Representative Anthony, of
Kansas. The president wrote letter
to Gov. Stubs in which he showed
that there was resentment in the
political controversy in Kansas and

Many a cold that has run into more

almost inevitable. To make easy work

rope and pin the clothes on securely in
the house, and either wrap up properly
Before taking it out of doors or have
one Of the children take it out, and
spread in the air and sunchine. If the
washing is a large one the small arti-
cles may be pinned on the clothes
horse, but the large ones will have to
be taken care of differently. Have
some hooks put up in the kitchen to
exactly correspond with those for put
ting up the line out of doors. Have
loops in the end of the clothes line and
slip over the indoor hooks, pin down
clothes in place securely, take down
the rope, clothes and all, and fold down
in clothes basket To take the bas-
ket out OF doors and slip the loops over
the outdoor hooks is a brief bit of work
and can be done with gloved hands
Several short lines are better than one
