big cheese knife in her hand. According
to the policeman the pistol went Oh ao-
cidentally when the boy grabbed hold
Of it and attempted to take it away.
The cross-examination Of Dillon &C.,
cupied practically the entire afternoon.
District Attorney Clarke picked Dillon
I'D on his statement that Louis Probber
was wearing an apron over his clothes
when he received his death wound. One
of the points made by the prosecute on
was that powder marks would have been
left on the boys o II he had his hand
on the pistol when it went Oh. as the
defendant claims. To bear out this
contention tests were made by the DIS
trict Attorneys office with police revolt

had not mentioned an apron for h first
time to explain why no traces OF powder
appeared on the clothing OF the deceased.

HAVANA, June 2s.-Only eight days re-
main Of the fiscal year. Senior Ferrars,
Speaker Of the House Of Representatives,
and other members Of Congress fear that
it will be impossible to approve the new
budget. The committee which has it in
charge is not yet ready to report and it
is feared hat after a report 10 made 1t
will be too late for the Senate and House
to discuss the budget and confer.
The Constitution provides that the
budget nust be approved before July !.
and forbids the ~perpetuation OF the ex-
PRED budget. Senior Ferrara says, how
ever, that the new law concerning execu-
tive power and prerogatives will ALLOW
the President to supply deficiencies by
decree. Others hold that such action
would be a fat violation Of the letter
Of the Constitution.
Other momentous measures, including
the lottery bill. are still pending. Little
real legislation has been accomplished.
The Constitution provides that the budget
shall be submitted in November. but
Gov. Magoon continuing in Office until
January % made this impossible.
The House approved to-day a bill

propriating $4,000 for the diplomatic
