ant in Justice Tavenners court Satur-
day against two young women Ella
White and Virginia Wilson. whom he
charged with disorderly conduct and
the disturbing of public worship.
The young women admitted that they
smiled blandly and broadly at the meet
ing, having recalled just at that time an
incident in which Rev Mitchell found it
necessary to remove his shoes while
preaching on account of the shoes be-
ing little too small for his feet
The preacher admitted that his feet
were larger than those of the average
citizen. and the young women finally con-
fessed that their feet were also lust a
little larger than No. is, but that they
never found ii necessary to take off their
shoes during divine worship.
The court dismissed the case at the
same time warning people with big feet to
stay away from his Office.

ESTIMATES
TO Be IN BUDGET FORM
President Taft Has Decided to
Adopt This Plan for
Next Year.

AS an object lesson to Congress to
demonstrate his belief in the advantages
Of the budget system for making esti-
mates and appropriations for the federal
government, President Taft, it was learn
ed today. will send next years estimates
to Congress in budget form to accompany
the regular book of estimates which the
Secretary of the Treasury is required by
law TO submit. The entire cabinet has
been instructed to prepare estimates I'M
der both plans
The proposed American budget while
varying widely from the English budget
because of the difference in the structure
OF the two governments, will be designed
to present to Congress and the people
detailed understandable program of
business for the ensuing year, committing
the President to definitely expressed lines
Of public policy.
Estimates in Detail.
The estimates will be explained in de-
tail, classified and compared with pre-
vious appropriations and expenditures,
and show the relation of probable expendi-
lures with probable revenues for the en-
suing year. The present method of sub
hitting estimates to Congress I'm identical
form each year without detailed Informal
ton showing definite program is regard
ed 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 recently rec
commended its adoption. Secretary Mac
Veagh in his last two annual reports
strongly urged Congress to adopt the
budget system in order to show the in
terrelatiOn of income and outgo. He adj
vised the appointment Of commits son
representing the executive and ieSisia-
| tive branches. to study the problem.

Where the Disease Prevails.

Rocky mountain SPOTTED fever. accord
ing to Dr. McClintic in one of his mono
graphs on the subject, has prevailed in
Montana and Idaho for several decades
at least The earliest record of the dis
ease was reported in 1873. Cases Of the
disease have occurred from time to time
in other states, until now it has been
reported from nearly all the Rocky
mountain states. including Arizona, Cali
fornia Colorado. Idaho, Montana, Ne
vada, Oregon. Utah. Washington and
Wyoming.
There is a marked variation in the
severity of the disease in different To-
calities, notably in Montana, As compared
with Idaho, the two states in which the
malady is most prevalent. Particularly
in the Bitter Root valley the mortality
rate is high, while in Idaho it is low.
The reason for this is a problem un-
solved
In Bitter Root valley the disease has
become serious health and economic
problem. Many lives are annually sac
rificed and valuable agricultural lands
have deprecated in consequence.
The tick. held accountable for the dis
ease. is found on mammals. wild and do
nestle. The dipping of domestic stock
in solution deadly to the pest has been
one measure taken to reduce the danger
of infection. Killing of wild mammals is
another way out.
