MILITARY BUDGET TO
BE REDUCED NEXT YEAR
Taft Approves Draft Presented
by General Wood

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a reduc-
tion Of several million dollars in the to-
tai estimates for appropriations for the
military establishment, including riv-
ers and harbors expenditures, as COM
pared with the estimates of last year,
has been determined on by the war de-
partment.
Major General Leonard Wood, chief
of staff of the army, laid the final
draft of the estimate before President
Taft at Beverly last week. General
Wood, who returned to washington
today, said that the president had ap-
proved of the estimates, with a few
changes, and that they were now ready
for submission to congress through the
secretary of the treasury.
One feature of the estimates calls
for the construction of permanent
buildings in the Philippines for the use
of the army, rather than temporary
structures such as have been the rule.

NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA

Distributive rates out of Los Angeles

the Santa Fe will take a material drop
October 1, according to F. P. Gregson
of the Associated Jobbers of Los An
geles, who has been working for the
reduction for some time. The reduc-
ton comes as a result of the rate re-
ductions recently made in the east,
which threatened to take the jobbing
business for Arizona away from Los
Angeles in favor of eastern CONNER
ciai centers. 1t is believed the new
rates will effectively prevent any such
happening, but if they should not,
further reduction win be asked. The
new rates are as follows:

In the Korean disease the worm at

MORSE GOES TO PEN
SAYS HIS SENTENCE MOST BRU-
tai In CIVILIZED COUNTRY.
Dangerous Example Of Govern
nient Gone Mad in Search
of Victim.

New York-With supreme effort to
be cheerful, but with emotion occasion
ally getting the better of him, Charles
w. Morse left New York Sunday to be-
gin serving tifteen-year sentence in the
federal prison at Atlanta, Ga, imposed
upon him for violation of the national
banking laws.
Before leaving the Tombs, where he
had been confined for the greater part
of last year, morse received his wife and
two sons and then the newspaper men.
He was too affected to say anything, but
he handed out carefully prepared state
ment OF comment on his case.
Il am going to Atlanta to begin penal
servitude under the most brutal sentence
ever pronounced against citizen in a
civilized country" is his opening SEN
tence.
Il have hoped" the statement con-
tinues, with that hope which comes
from a consciousness of my innocence,
that l would not have to close out for
ever the light and liberty of this world
under such an inhuman sentence. had
felt that the fact that | had paid a fine
of $7,O0O,O00 and served year in prison
would satisfy the cry for a victim, and
l have steadily believed that the courts
would be compelled to give me a new
trial.
'When l learned that the private de-
tectives of the prosecution were the
keepers of the jury; that the jury drank
like men upon a jaunt or a holiday,
rather than citizens engaged in serious
service, and that as a result two of them
were rendered unfit, | naturally hoped
that | would be allowed another trial by
another jury free from these hostile in
fuences.
at seems that the courts intend to es-
tablish the practice which makes rum
drinking part of jury service, and pri-
vate detectives as the custodians of a
jury permanent institution. BY this
sentence and judgment may be brought
to ruin; but the damage done to me Is
not half so important as the injury to
the administration of Justice.
Il am now up in years, and must, with
the passing of time, pass also; but the
record of my conviction and the way 1T
was brought about will remain lasting
and dangerous example of a government
gone mad in search of a victim"

parture Harry and Benjamin Morse ap-
peared for another farewell to their
father He gave them fond embrace

RACE RIOT IN HAVANA, CUBA
American Hotel Was Scene of the
Disturbance

Havana-A strong race feeling has
been engendered by the trouble which
arose at the Hotel Plaza, an American
house, over the refusal of the bartender
to serve drinks to two negro congress
men. This resulted in a riot, which,
although no one was seriously injured,
made necessary the calling out of the
police reserves The clerk of the hotel
was arraigned in the correctional court
and fined $40.
An enormous crowd of negroes, in
cluding strong representation of the
Veterans Association, attended the court
session and demanded exemplary pun
ishment on account of the insult to the
colored race Senor Nlorua Del Gado,
president of the senate and leader of the
negro element, conducted the prosecu-
tion, and insisted upon the extreme pen
atty, which is a fine of $1,000 and six
months Imprisonment.

PRESIDENT CALLS ON LURT0N
Chief Executive Would Pay Respects

ashington-President Taft Sunday
took away the breath of those who
have maintained that the days of Jeffer-
sonian simplicity have long departed,
and that the administration is taking
on all the ceremonial of a European
court, when he calmly left the White
House and paid call on Judge Horace
H. Lurton, the newly arrived associate
Justice of the supreme court. The af-
fair was unique in that it is the unwrit-
ten law that, any new official shall first
call out of respect at the White House.
The president, accompanied by Capt.
Butt, left the White House and led the
way up Pennsylvania avenue and, prac-
tically unnoticed, made his way into
one of the leading hotels. He inquired
for Judge Lurton, who is an old friend,
and when the hotel clerk had recovered
from his surprise, it was discovered that
the jurist had gone out for a walk.
"Too bad," said the president, show
ing his disappointment. please tell him
that / calle1."
He then returned to the White House.

NATION HAS CREDIT BALANCE
First Profit Since Payne-Aldrich
Tariff Bill.

ington-December's fiscal finance
operations of the national government
showed balance on the credit side
the first time during the fiscal year 1909
10, and the first time since the Payne
Aldrich tariff law went into effect. The
receipts aggregated $50, 9,s27, 1886, and the
disbursements $57,713,795, leaving a
balance of $2,113,741.
Exclusive of the deficit for the last
six months on account of Panama canal
operations amounting to $16,311,97S,
and that on account of the public debt
transactions, the loss to the treasury
thus far this fiscal year is $23,919,91O,
against S51,755,573 for the same time
last year. The largest increase has been
in customs receipts, about $30,0O0,000.
Now that the Christmas season is over

again increasing, being $3O,1oD,5S3.

MEAT PRICES DOUBLED
HIGHEST INCREASES COME IN
PLEBIAN CUTS OF BACON.
Production Has Kept Pace Will
Population, and Still Prices
Continue to Soar.

Chlcago-With one exception, every
staple kind of meat for sale in al
American butcher shop has doubled il
cost to 'the consumer in the past ter
years, and some items have trebled.
President Taft declared last week that
a great blame for the increased cost ol
living in THIS country is probably due tc
the extravaganza of the peoples appe
tites.
He declared that the man who, some
years ago, would have been satisfied
with a fairly good cut of meat, today de
mands the choice cuts; that the man
who is making fairly good living de-
mands just as good things to eat as his
millionaire neighbor, and that, as re-
suit, there is too great a demand for
choice cuts.
By the old law of supply and demand,
he takes the view that the American
people, by their own demands, have
raised the cost of necessities.
Yet bacon, which sold for II cents per
pound ten years ago, today costs the
housewife 36 cents per pound, and sir
lon steak, formerly 22 cents per pound,
today costs 33 cents.
Nine out of ten people one may meet
in any of the big hotels or restaurants
in this country, will declare that bacon
is not a choice cut; many hold that it
is decidedly plebeian diet, yet bacon is
today more expensive to the householder
than sirloin steak.
