and had also sold large amount Of
other Investments he had in various
enterprises as well as some personal
property and real estate Some OF his
real estate, including several houses
and lots he could not dispose of with
out exciting suspicion and these the
receiver will take charge OF as soon
as he has qualified for the position,
which was early this morning as his
bond for $4,000 was prepared Sstur-
day afternoon and will be filed with
the district clerk Immediately.
In their petition to Judge Dayton
the three petitioners, J. II. Thomas,
M. II. Proudfoot and w. w. Shock al
lege that upon information and be-
lief Carver has left the country after
embezzling large amount from the
bank; that they desire to protect
themselves and other creditors as far
as possible and they pray that he be
adjudged an Involuntary bankrupt
within a certain time unless he re-
turns and defends the suit brought, in
which case the bankrupt matter viii
proceed as ordinarily. II is further
stated In the petition that 1t is be-
lieved Carver owns divers other debts
aggregating something like 100000,
much of this amount being for mer-
chandise and other living expenses,
and part of it borrowed money.

Billion Dollars Needed By
Uncle Sam Next Year.

Estimates of the cost of running the
machinery of the government for the
fiscal year beginning July l, 1913,
which have been prepared by Cabinet
officers show that during the short
session now approaching Congress will
have to appropriate money at the rate
of SIS, OOO,0 600 n day.
At the outside, Congress will have
only IS working days in which to APP
portion the vast sum 81 100000, 900
whicl. will be required to keep the
Government going.
Although the estimates are prepar-
ed in confidence and will have to
come up for approval by the Cabinet
before being submitted to Congress, it
has been learned that some of the
largest items asked are:
Treasury, sl37 100000.
War Department, SON, WO,OoD.
Navy, $40, 100000.
Agriculture, S3l 100000.
Legislative, 81 900, 900, and Post
office, S275, OO0,OW
The total estimates, excluding the
Postofiicc Department. will amount
to approximately $40, 100000. Al
though Congress appropriatrS a sum
sufficient to cover the total expenses
of the Postofcc Department, the
money appropriated does not repre-
sent actual expenditures from the
Treasury. The Postotlice is now
about breaking even"
The appropriation bills will be lar
ger this session despite the utmost
cndravors of economists within and
without the Capitol. One of the first
things that will 60 before Congress
when it meets will be a request Tor
an emergency appropriation of about
$40, 600, 900 to get the parcels post in
running order. At the last session
Congress granted only $4,000 for
this purpose.
On account Of the extreme pressure
of business at the coming session it
is considered likely Congress will have
all it can do in passing the appropri
alton bills without taking up any
other important legislation.
President Taft will take up the es-
Inmates with the members of his Cab

The hunting season of the year 1912
was ushered in very unpleasantly, the
atmosphere being heavy with fog and at
intervals heavy showers of rain falling.
But all this did not keep the anxious to

Turks and Bulgans had transferred their
field of battle to the south of town and
along Hunting Creek.
