TAFT TRIES new PLAN
Next Years Estimates vii! Go to Con-
gress in Budget Form.

Washington, Aug. 12.-As an object les
son to congress to demonstrate his belief
in the advantages of the budget system
for making estimates and appropriations
Tor the federal government, President
raft. it was learned 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 under both plans
The proposed American budget, while
varying widely from the English budget
because of tn. difference in the structure
Of the two governments, will be designed
to present to congress and the people a
detailed understandable program of bust
ness for the ensuing year, committing the
president to definitely expressed lines of
publ; Policy. The estimates will be ex-
planned in DETAIL. classified and compared
with PREVIOUS appropriations and expendi-
lures and show the relation of probab BILE
expenditures with probable revenues for
the ensuing year. The present method of
submitting estimates to congress in iden-
teal form each year without detailed in
formation showing definite program is
regarded by President Taft, Secretary of
the Treasury MacVeagh, and the economy
commission, as unsystematic, unscientific
and antiQuated.

BACK INTO RING
Johnson Breaks All Records for
Quick Retirement.
Big Ink May Sign to Fight
jeanette in New York.

Chicago. Aug. 12.-Jock Johnson has
broken the worlds record for a quick
retirement Just two weeks ago tomor-
row night he Launched on an unsuspect-
ed pugilistic world the news that ne
was through with the boxing game for
ever. that never again would he don the
mitts even for an exhibition. Now he
rides all the way down town in mis-
car to tell us that he had come out OF
retirement and would fight just once
more to show his traducers tnat ne
was not ''all in as a great hghter.
Johnson is to start road work in
the South side boulevards today ana
boxing at the O'Connell gymnasium on
Thursday. Why? Because some New
York promoters are to confer with MIN
tomorrow about a Labor day Dattle III
New York and Johnson is going down
there to perform if he gets money
enough.

the St. Nicholas club in Gotham are
the promoters who expect 10 onet
Johnson enough coin to induce him TO
fight somebody for ten rounds. InSy
will be out at the Johnson care talh-
ing business With them will be Baron
Wilkins, the king bee among the col
ored people of New York 1t Will sur
prise none if Johnson attaches his sig
nature to a set of articles by midnight.
Wilkins has a lot of influence with the
champion. 20
boosting down New York way, is the
party picked up by the McManons to
battle the champion 1t is said Jean
cite, through Manager Daniel mckee
trick, already has accepted the cluo
terms.
Here is the way johnson aired MS
views last night:
He and His Wife ''Riled.'
INV wife and I have been reading
all this stuff in the papers about my
being all in 1t has got US both r1lco
up some. Why, 1 never was better
in my life and 1 am going to nsh'
lust once more to prove 1t.
IT don't mind admitting that L ex-
meet to close with the ST. Nicholas club
in New York in a day or So l Will
have plenty of time to get ready ana
nobody knows more about condltlon
than 1 do. I'll start road work IN
the morning and boxing on Thursday
And believe me, I'll give fellow 1 fight
in New York some lacing. L don
care who it is, either. If they'll give
me money enough, I'll fight Jeanette
and Palzer the same night.
THE reason 1 don't go to Australia
to polish off Langford and McVea is
because Mcintosh refuses to show me
any money. All this cable talk about
big purses does not get me anything,
If Mcintosh will send about $4,000
over here and deposit it in Chicago
bank and hand me transportation ex-
penses for my party, 1 may jump right
across the Pacific after fighting in New
York. But that fight is a doubtful
one indeed. because 1 have not much
faith in the Mcintosh offers"

Philadelphia, Aug. 12.-There may

his celebrating his full three score ana

Before he had a chance to pry his
blue eyes open and look about him,
Russell had been taken to the baby

where he is gaining twenty grains a
day. ss-~e.r.

TO PROTECT HORSE, TOO
Individual Drinking Cups for Animals
Latest Agitation.

New York, Aug. 12-Now it is the
common drinking cup for horses
that is a menace and must be done
away with. An investigation by the
bureau of municipal researches here
shows that of the $500 horses that died
in Manhattan last year, from CHAMBERS,
and other communicable diseases. a
large proportion imbibed the deadly
germs from the common watering
trough.
1t is the universal opinion of those
interested in the problem that all
troughs should be abolished. 1t is be-
lieved that the New York Health de-
partment will forbid further erection
of watering troughs of any descrip-
ton and that in the future their place
win be supplied by draw hydrants.

WILL FIX TAX LEVY TONIGHT.
School Board Will Decide at Meeting
on Amount 1t Will Ask.

The school board will fix the new
tax levy at an adjourned meeting to-
night.
The finance committee has agreed
that there should be a one mill levy
for the building fund. and if no other
changes are made this will wake a
total levy of six mills as against SIS
mills last year. However, the commit
tee is considering this afternoon the
question of increasing the levy for the
general fund from ASS to 4.94 to take
care of a deficit of $40. 900. But there
is a tendency on the part of the board
members to hold the levy down as low
as possible so it is possible that the
shortage will have to slide.

night, the Topeka Edison company IS
again considering the proposition. There

be a good ad for the town.
Tuesday the last section will be con-
structed. 1t will be ornamental in
nature. The work on the stack will be
