SOME EXPENSES
FOR FISCAL YEAR
TOTAL REPRESENTS AN IN
CREASE OF $72,o7s,248 OVER
THE CURRENT YEARS COST.

Washington, Dec. Sit will cost
$S23,415,455.14 to conduct the affairs
of the government for the fiscal year
ending June 20, 1914, according to
the estimates of the various depart
ment heads, submitted today to the
speaker of the house by the socre-
tary Of the treasury.
This amount which does not in
clude any provision for the postal
service, which is expected to be self
supporting, is an increase of ST.
O72,24S over the appropriations made
for the present year by the last ses-
sion of congress.
OF the increase, $2S,3I2,220 ap-
pears in estimate sof the secretary
of the navy, and $2O,597,297 repre-
sents the increase asked for by the
navy department in the appropria-
tions for building and equipping new
vessels. The estimates would pro-
vide for three new battleships to
be aid down during the year.
This would make up for the loss
of one ship from the two battleships
a year program of the department,
caused by the action of the demo-
cratic house in providing for but a
single ship at the last session of
congress.
SWelIed by Pensions.
Another $4,000, 900 or more of the
total increase is shown in the esti-
mates for the payment OF pensions.
The amount asked for is S1S5,22O,O 600
Last year $165, ,146,470 was expend-
ed for pensions. An increase OF
about the same amount appears IN
the estimates for public works for
the year.
The construction of puDlic build
ings planned for the year also shows
an increase of $1,0l2,j30 over the
appropriations for the present year;
$S,722,2OO being asked for that pur-
pose. The work to be done during
the year on the Panama canal will
cost s3O,174,432, which is $1,110,567
less than the appropriations for the
current year. OF this sum $6,769,
200 is asked to build Notifications
and military barracks in the canal
zone. This year $2.S25,OoO was ap-
propriated for Qualifications at Pan
ANA.

REGULATIONS FOR
THE PARCELS POST
DISTINCTIVE STAMPS MUST BE
USED ON ALL PARCElS-MAT-
TER DEBARRED.
(By V. Merkle.)

Washington, Dec. S.-Regulations
for operation OF the parcels post
system were made upblic by the
postoffice department today.
The committee completed its orig
inal draft of the regulations two
weeks ago, but upon review by Post
master General Hitchcock, he wrote
some of them and suggested chang
es.
Under the regulations as drawn,
practically all farm and factory pro-
ducts will be admitted to the par
cells post under the general limita-
tions as to size and weight.
All matter now classified as third
class matter will not be permitted
in the parcels post mails.
The Third class includes books,
circulars and all printed matter. Its
debarment from the parcels post will!
make this class of matter pay a
much higher rate than ordinary
merchandise. Under previous class
ifications, all matter tending to have
an educational value has been IA
ored in the mails.
Seeds, cuttings. bulbs, roots, sclons
and plants will be permitted in the
parcels post mails under regulations
as to size and weight applicable to
other parcels post packages, Dut at
the rate of postage Of one cent for
two ounces, or fraction thereof, re-
gardless of distance.
Distinctive parcels post stamps
must be used on al! fourth class
matter, including that weighing four
ounces and less. Such matter bear
ing ordinary postage stamps will be
treated as held for postage.
A parcel not more than three feet
six inches in length may measure
as much as two feet six inches IN
girth, or around it's thickest part
A shorter parcel may be thicker,
thus if It measures no more than
three feet in length, it may measure
as much as three feet in girth, or
around its thickest part. Measure
ments will be made by means OF a
six foot tape line furnished the post
masters by the department.
Parcels will be mailable only at
post office, branch post offices,
lettered and local named stations,
and such numbered stations as may
be designated by the postmaster or
presented to rural or other carrier
duly authorized to receive such mat
ter.
All parcels must bear the return
card of the sender, otherwise they
will not be accepted for mailing.
Parcels will be delivered at all
free delivery offices and to patrons
residing on rural and star routes;
they may be registered and may be
accorded special delivery service
on payment of the usual fees, and
they may be insured against loss in
an amount equivalent to their real
value, but not to exceed $25, upon
payment of a fee Of five cents.
Distinctive stamps must be used on
all parcels, but they may be mailed
in quantities of not less than 1000
identical pieces without stamps af-
fixed, the postage being paid in
money.
The regulations include provisions
for the mailing and care of perish
able farm products that are admit"
ted to the mails, and give the re-
strictive measures on the methods OF
preparing such parcels so as not to
conflict with the provisions of the
general postal regulations.

conduct his department for the year.
This amount will be supplied out oil
the postal revenues and will bring
the total estimated appropriations
for the year up to $1,105,2O6,963.
Trouble in Prospect.
Just how these estimates will
fare at the hands of the democratic
majority in the house is the sub
iect of considerable conjecture.
Some difficulty in passing appropri-
alton bills may follow disagreements
between the house and senate, as in
the last session.
But the supply measures to be
passed on the basis of the esti-
mates submitted today will go into
effect after the democrats have TAX
en- full control of the government
and it is expected that the attitude
of the house majority on the ques-
tions involved in the estimates will
forecast the attitude of the coming
administration.
Among the estimates which will
develop debate in congress is de-
mand for $25O,OO0 for the economic
deficiency committee appointed by
President Taft, which is investigat-
ing and reforming the system OF
conducting the government business
in the various departments. 1t was
with considerable difficulty that
$4,000 was secured for the en-
penses of the commission this year
and the house democrats took with
little favor on the board.
Commerce Court Phase.
Another troublesome item will be
an estimate of $$54500 for the COM
merce court. The house democrats
endeavored in vain to write into the
legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill, in the closing
days OI lHe idSJ StSoioi, lcSioio'ioh
abolishing the court.
After the bill had been twice We
toed by the president, funds were
provided to keep the court in oper-
alton until March 4, 1918. II the
provisions in the estimates is writ
ten into the appropriation bill this
year. it will be necessary to secure
a deficiency appropriation to run
the court from March until the
end of the fiscal year.
The general furnishing up of the
white house for President elect Will
son is contemplated by the esti-
mates which woTld provide for new
roofs for the east and west wings
of the executive mansion, and would
make available $4,000 for redeco-
rating the east room, the red room
and blue room, where the official
presidential receptions take place.

eral more of the pigs. He promised
to pay cash for the lot, including the
ones which had been shipped to him
here
The same plan was worked on Mr..
Hoch to get his hogs.
The hogs were sold to the c. s.
Winchester Packing house. They were
taken direct from the depot to the
packing house in drays. They were
delivered to the packers Wednesday,
November 27.
Mr.. Buskirk returned to Newton
without discovering anything that
would lead to the conviction of the
criminal. He found the crates in which
the hogs were shipped but further than
that he learned nothing.
Mr.. Hoch is here from his home in
Attica to confer with the sheriff. Mr..
Hoch says he knows a stockman in
Wichita by the name of w. B. Ross.
Mr.. Hoch said he received the or
der from Mr.. Ross, as he supposed,
for the gifts to be shipped here. Mr..
Hoch held up the shipment on the
hogs expecting a draft to arrive. The
con man called him over the long dis
lance telephone from Wichita, asking
why the hogs had not been shipped.
He said the money would be sent on
receipt of the hogs. Hoch, being well
acquainted with Ross, shipped the
hogs.

Woman Severely Burned by
Brute Looking for Beer.
Children Unwittingly Aid In
truder by Playing Santa.

Pittsburg Kan, Dec. 10-When there
was a knock n the glass just where a
woman friend of Mrs. Joseph Rogers
always knocked, Mrs. Rogers opened
the door.
Il want some beer" a man greeted
her, and he was told that it was not
sold there.
you are a liar" he told Mrs Rog-
ers, who attempted to slam shut the
door.
A shoe used by the Rogers children
in playing Santa Claus" fell and pre-
vented the closing of the door, so Mrs.
Rogers stopped to pick it up.
The man threw acid on her neck and
face, then ran.
Mrs. Rogers felt the burn and ran to
the wash stand where she looked into
a mirror finding some kind of a red
LIQUID on her neck. The pain grew
more and more intense. She remained
with her children, afraid to call outside
for help and bore her pain with forth
tude.
Mrs Rogers doesn't have an idea who
the man was. Miss Ruth Davis, her
neighbor, who is employed by the Home
Telephone Company, has been annoyed
lately by a strange man, so she al
ways stopped in at the Rogers home
to visit and wait for her car. She all
ways knocks on the glass part of the
door, after opening the screen. So did

Bird Seldom Found South of Canada

Salina, Kan, Dec. 1O--A. K Boy1es,
taxiderrnist lis now mounting an arctic
owl, a bird extremely rare in this part
of the country. 1t was shot at Elmo,
a little town about 25 miles from Sa-
lima on the Missouri Pacific.
Professor Boyles said that such an
owl was killed some time ago at Hill
City but he had no knowledge of any
other being killed in Kansas.
These birds have feathers that much
resemble wool. Their feet are coated
with thick hair and it would require
about 40 degrees below zero to freeze
them. They seldom venture farther
south than Canada. Why this bird
should have come to Kansas while the
weather is so mild, Professor Boyles
does not know.

He GOES TO JAIL
Henry Settlemyer Expected to
Get Divorce From Wife.
She Causes His Arrest on Day
of Trial.

lola, Kan, Dec 1O.-Henry Grady
Settlemyer, young, well dressed, edu-
Gated, is an inmate of the Allen county
Jail, in spite of his suggestion that
100000 bond was available if the Off
GERS would .-ccept it. He came expect
ing to appear in district court to urge
his suit for divorce from his wife in
North Carolina, but was arrested as
soon as he stepped off the train on a
warrant issued in North Carolina. The
charge is abandonment of his wife and
1eging that he was not the father of
child.
The trap has been set for some
months for Mr.. Settlemyer. He filed
his divorce suit Lere last January, al
a child born to his wife. He claimed
citizenship in this county and the case
seemed of ordinary character. But
when papers were served on Mrs. Set
tlemyers at Gastonia, South Carolina,
things began to happen. She seemed
uncertain what steps to take. but a
Presbyterian minister became inter
ested in her behalf and several letters
have come from there 10 officers here
denying the husbands allegation and
asserting that she is living a good, in
dustrious life and caring for the child
born of the marriage to Settlemyer.
Upon receipt of this warrant the sher-
ifs office began looking for Settle
myer, finally tracing him, via Neosho
Falls, to Northcott, in Anderson county
where his uncle, N. P. Settlemyer, owns
a 400-acre ranch. The hunt was made
cautiously. It was evident that Settle
myer knew of a possible action in the
North Carolina courts. The case was
set for this afternoon and the sheriff
and undersheriff We're at the train.
When Settlemyer and his lawyer
stepped off the train the papers We're
served.
Settlemyer then indicated a willing
ness and an ability to give 800. 900
bond, but was denied the privilege. His
uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. N. P.
Settlemyer were here from Northcott
to testify in the divorce suit. The
young man first indicated a Willingness
to return without a requisition to North
Carolina, but later refused and so he
was locked in a cell and his lawyer
started habeas corpus proceedings. He
alleges that North Carolina has no
statute concerning wife desertion.
Young Settlemyer is said to belong to
a wealthy family and it is probable
that every legal step will be taken to
protect him. There is very little
known here of the wife, but the indica-
tions are that his family is rich and
in favor of his separation from the girl
wife, who is probably poor, judging by
the proceedings thus far.
