Adapted Form of English Budget to

Washington, Aug 12-As an object

today, will SEND next years estimate

The present method of submitting
estimates to congress in identical form
each year, without detailed informa-
tion showing a definite program, is
regarded by President Taft, Secretary
of the Treasury MacVeagh and the
economy commission as unsystematic,
unscientific and antiquated.
The first budget will be drawn by
the economy commission, which re-
Gently recommended its adoption. Sec
retary MacVeagh in his last two an

to adopt the budget system in order
to show the inter relation of income

the executive and legislative branches
to study the problem.

"keynote of the Situation"

Il am the keynote of the whole sit
uation," Schepps is quoted as saying.
If talk it will reach long way
Scherps, according to Rose, rode in
the murder car uptown and later paid
the gun men for their murderous at
tack. The public prosecutor has sent
an officer to bring Schepp to New
York and has requested the Hot
Springs officials not to turn their man
over to anyone without instructions
from the district attorneys office. Mr..
Whitman wants his own men to see
Schepps before the New York police
get to him.
Will "Breakv Detectives
Deputy Police Commissioner Dough-
erty said today that he proposed to
investigate the story of Schepps that
the police found him in the Catskills
and failed to arrest him. Dougherty
said he would break the detectives
if they were found guilty. Schepps in
his story of his flight from the Cats
kills, where the New York detectives
were searching for the gun men, is
quoted as saying:
"In Sullivan county | was asleep in
a gymnasium when five of the New
York detectives that I knew, came in
and lifted the cover from me- One
of them asked me who l was and
grinned.
Detectives Covered Him Up.
Il said my name was Smith and
grinned right back. They went away
after kindly replacing the cover. Half
an hour later l was on my way to Buff
falo.''
From Buffalo schepps said he went
to Hot Springs.
M. Steuer went early today to the
West Side court prison, where 'Brid-
gle" Webber, his client, and one of
those charged with the murder of
Herman Rosenthal is locked up.
The lawyer admitted that he had
received an urgent telegram from
Weber AS he neared the prison, he
said that he did not know just what
Webber wanted to talk about.
Shortly afterward Hartford 7. Mar
shall, counsel for Jack Sullivan, ar
rived. He refused to talk and hurried
inside.
Will Obey Instructions.
Bernard H. Sander, attorney for |
Schepps, today gave out the text of
the kilograms exchanged yesterday |
between him and his client. The law
yer wired Schepps in Hot Springs, in
care of the police headquarters there,
as follows:
''Do not talk to any person until you
hear from Whitman, with hom sas-
isfactory arrangements have been
made
To which Schepps replied:
Telegram received. Will obey in

Whitman's man."
