PRUNING ESTIMATES
President Tells Officials That They
Must Make Reductions

Washington, Nov. 30.-President
Taft is welding the pruning knife.
He established a precedent yesterday
by summoning to the White House
more than one hundred officials who
disburse millions of dollars annually
for the government and told them
that they must reduce their estimates
for the coming year. He was told
that the estimates had already been
reduced over $40,000,000 but that
did not satisfy the president.
Go back and cut off some more
was the essence Of the order he is
sued, at the same time warning all
that hereafter the best of business
methods must prevail In all depart
ments.
The president is resolved to make
his business administration, and he
went personally over the estimates
prepared by the officials. Cabinet
members, army and navy officials,
district commissioners, officers of the
reclamation service, and the forest
service besides officers of practically
every other branch, took part in the
conference.
The conference was a part of Pres
ident Taft's war against pork bar
rel" methods. He will carry the
fight to Congress and appeal to Con-
gress as whole to eliminate pork
barrel items in the appropriation
bill.
Cut the appropriations to the
bone will be his appeal.
The president hopes to reduce the
appropriations so materially that the
recent billion dollar Congress" shall
be the last in his administration.

HOUSE LARGE ENOUGH
Speaker Cannon Opposes Increasing

casted yesterday when Speaker Can

ed population must figure again The
Democrats are laying plans to have
the matter go over to the next Con-
gress and with a little help from the
insurgents will be able to do so.
The house is so large now that It
is unwieldly," said Speaker Cannon,
"and it ought not to be made any lar
ger"
On the present basis of apportion-
ment with a total population OF 10000
600 the House would be increased by
10 members from 391 to 46l. To hold
down the House to its present size
IL would be necessary to increase the
ratio. The unit OF popu alton would
have to be made 225,OOO and this
would result in loss OF representa-
ives to probably several states, in
Guiding Maine, Vermont. Iowa, Indi
ana, Nebraska and Kansas. because
the increase in population in these
states would be too small to stand

FRANK HICKS OF
NORTH ADAM S
FINED S25
For Killing Deer Without Nom
Resident License
IN MUNICIPAL COURT TODAY
Massachusetts Hunter Run Down BY
Warden Chase and Forced tu
Plead Guilty A1Sil

Frank Hicks of North Adams was
convicted in Municipal court this
morning of killing deer in the state
of Vermont without first procuring a
nonresident hunting license and was
fined $25 with costs of s514. Hicks
pleaded guilty.
According to the presentation of
the case to the court by County Game
Warden Harry Chase, the deer was
killed by Hicks in the town of STAN
ford on November 4th while the
North Adams man was visiting at the
home of f. c. Leroy. Mr.. LeRoy's
son, Julius, early in the day had killed
n big buck and father and son togeth-
er with Hicks took team and went
into the woods for the purpose of
bringing the deer home. On the way
Mr.. Leroy saw a small doe and shot
it, Hicks borrowed a rife and going
into an old orchard discovered and
shot another deer and all three ami
mails were loaded on the wagon and
carried to the house.
The statute requires that any per.
son shooting a deer shall make report
Of the same to the nearest deputy
warden and the report was made In
this case, the three deer being cred
tied to Mr.. Leroy and his two sons
Julius and Dewey. the latter lad OF
Ii years
The case looked rather suspicious
to Deputy Warden Whalen to whom
the report was made and he so in
formed County Warden Chase who
went to Stamford for the r.rpose Of
investigation. Warden Chase learn
ed enough to convince himself thai
the younger Leroy boy could not have
killed the third deer for the boy was
at school during the day. With the
younger boy eliminated the Leroy
household would be in the predica
ment of having three deer in its poss
ession and unable to account for bu
two and liable on fine OF 800. II
save his friend from the consequen
ces Of an act for which he himself
was to blame. Hicks volunteered Il
come to Bennington and plead guilt!
10 haYing shot the third deer.
In court this morning Hicks state,
that he had no intention of huntinl
when he went to Stamford. Whil
the party was bringing the two dee
killed by the father and elder son h
saw the third animal, borrowed Juliu
Leroy's rifle and shot II, not bein
able 10 resist the temptation. A yea
ago Hicks took out a nonresident ]
cense and hunted in this state durin
the entire season and he said thl
morning that he would have followe
the same course this year had h
been abe to secure a vacation fror
his work.

There was in the fall of 1897 a va

them. | selected Dewey, giving the
other the European squadron, having
