WILSON STUDIES BUDGETS
Plans for New Battleships and
Anti Trust Crusade.
tFrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington. Oct. 4-Estlmates Of ap-
propriations for the various departments
OF the government will be held down to
the minimum to permit the administration
to urge three battleships this year and
provide big fund for antitrust prosecu-
ton.
This was made plain Mt the Cabinet
meeting to-day. when the estimates were
briefly considered. Heretofore the esti-
mates have been taken up by the whole
Cabinet. but President Wilson will discus
Individually with the members the figures
for their several departments. A general
hint has been given, however, that the
President desires an economical admins
tration and will closely scrutinize all es-
Inmates
The three battleship plan is bound to
make inroads into the coveted economi-
cal record. but the President and the
Secretary OF the Navy have mapped out
their programme, and there are assur-
ances from Democratic leaders In Con-
gress that they Will carry 1t through.

as they have In view the most sweeping
campaign against unlawful monopoly
ever undertaken by the government. To
push this crusade new legislation and a
larger appropriation than ever before will
be asked.
The Attorney General spent severla
hours at the White House to-day dis
cussing with the President the various
estimates for appropriations. He will ask
for a big fund for investigation and for
strengthening the Office forces OF the dis

will be a record breaker. as President
Wilson intends to give Mr.. McReynolds

BANKERS WANT'MORE TIME

Be Gradually Adopted.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington. Oct. 14--James II. Perkins.
Of the National Commercial Bank Of Al
bany. urged the Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee to-day to make the
change from the present banking system
to the system provided by the currency
bill gradually. II this was not done, he
said. a period OF financial strlngency
might result. as the banks would find II
necessary to call in loans to obtain the
funds required to establish the regional
banks.
The National Commercial Bank. Mr..
Perkins said. carried 100000 OF reserves
Of country banks. II the country banks
had to withdraw large part OF this sum
to comply with the new law the reserve
bank would be compelled to curtail its
loans suddenly. with disastrous effect on
the business OF the community. Mr.. Per-
kins suggested that the banks be allowed
more time in which TO comply with the
provisions Of the law. paying in gradually

HOUSE ORDERS BACK
ALL ITS ABSENTEES
Unable to Do Business Without
a Quorum, 1t Adopts a Sweep
ing Return Order.
AFRAID TO PROPOSE RECESS
President and Leaders Fear
Senate Would Try to Turn
Such a Resolution Into
an Adjournment.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, oct 14.--Once more unable
to transact business because Of the abb
sence Of a quorum, the House grew angry
to-day and unanimously adopted a reso-
luton offered by Mr.. Underwood to call
back to the capital every absentee. In
whatever distant part Of the country he
might be found. When the House recalled
absent members last week only those re-
siding east of the Mississippi River were
ordered to return.
Coincident with this action by the House
1t was learned to-day that President Will
son objects to the plan to have the House
take a recess OF several weeks. on the
theory that the Senate. wrestling with the
currency problem, might try to convert
resolution for a recess Of the lower
body into one for an adjournment Of both
bodies. This knowledge was chiefly re-
sponsible for the unresponsive manner In
which Democratic leaders received to-day
the demand of Representative Sisson, of
Mississippi, that a recess resolution be
sent TO the Senate.
THE President wants Congress to stay
here until the currency bill is passed"
House leader explained. He does not
think it wise for the House to attempt to
recess, because such move might be met
with an attempt in the Senate TO adjourn
both houses sine die"
Mr.. Sisson Indignantly observed to-day +:
1T is a shame that members who have
been here seven months attending TO their
duties must now be held further because
% obi frnrp thf9 HOtIep WhY
can't we have a recess and let everybody
go home?"
Mr. Mann, who made the point OF no
quorum which pestered the Democrats,
grinned gleefully as Mr. Underwood de-
clned 10 incorporate the Sisson sugges-
tlon In his resolution.
When Mr. Underwood moved TO order
back TO Washington the absentees Rep
resentative Barnhart, an Indiana Demo
crat who was dragged back last week,
exclaimed. with much feeling:
Yes. and let the resolution be broad
enough to bring these members back no
matter where they are. The sergeant-at-
arms notified only few OF us to return
here last week"
Several Of Mr.. Barnhart's colleagues
smiled When the House ordered the ar
rest Of ahsentees a few days ago, II Is re-
ported the leading opposition paper In
Barnhart's district ran big headlines read
ing something like this Hank Barnhart

was sufficiently broad 10 cover all alb
sentees and kilograms would be sent to

Indiana member, but Mr. Ragsdale, OF
South Carolina. demanded that the alb
sentees be "docked" their pay for the
days they had been absent.

The Largest Specially
Rug House in America
Needed
Guidance

N&Ox&&04 1SS
If the amount you have
to spend for an Oriental
rug is limited, your course
is simple.
You want to get the
MOST for your money.
This does not mean,
necessarily, what LOOKS
to be most.
There are cheaply con-
structed Turkish and
East India rugs to be
found, large enough to
furnish rooms, at 500 to
= $4OO.
They look good.
There are many Per-
slams, boldly designed and
poorly dyed, offered at
these figures.
You will find undesir-
able Kerrhanshahs with
out end around these
prices.
What you need is
GUIDANCE-and con-
fidence in the house that
is giving it to you.
There are lots of good
rugs in New York at 500
to $4OO, if you know
where to find them.
Rugs like old IspahanS,
made during the reign OF
Shah Abbas the Great,
in the 10Th Century, are
an inspiration for the
best Of modern Persian
weavers.
You cannot get worthy
antiques at the prices
mentioned, but you can
get creditable reproduc-
tions, well woven and
durable rugs which
mean Something-at very
reasonable prices.
( They are better than
spurious antiques.
Recently old Chinese
designs have been woven
in moderately price d
/; Turkish and Persian rugs
T; with most excellent effect.
: But the results must be
judged by people who
know the good from the
bad.
While a certain portion
Of the Wild business is in
higher priced rugs, we
always specialize in this
type Of good medium
priced rugs.
If your need is for a
room-size Oriental at
moderate price-we are
saying from 500 to $4OO
for illustration you
should accept the guild
ance of those who are
posted, following the ex-
ample of people who are
buying $1,000, $4,000 or
even $4,000 rugs.
Sometimes we refer to
our work as one of Selec-
tion. 1t is rather a work
Of exclusion-of keeping
out everything that is
common and undesirable.
Our selection just now
is larger than ever before.
We believe we can meet
any special requirement.
AND every rug require
ment is special.

vide experts to view your

~HE safest way for those who

start in Il small way with Il

any large measure will be attained
AS soon as it is found to be Il paying

Another good plan for the beginner
who wishes to learn the art of poultry
keeping is to secure position with
some successful poultry man. One or
two years Of work on Il large, practical

He Guessed Riaht.

This story was told at prominent

met Lord Decies In one Of his visits to
London. Although Lord Decies Is an
experienced and Travelled man Of the
world, he does not believe in throwing
away money in those extravagant tips
that characterize Americans and that
are very often mistaken generosity.
The Englishman also is quite able to
take his own part If his reasonable tips
are taken unreasonably. as was evil
denced one day when he had taken a
cab to the club.
When he alighted and paid the driver
cabby seemed to think his tip was to"
small.
''Wot's this ere for. my lord?' said
the cabby, regarding with some con-
tempt the coin he held in his hand.
Drink. l should he inclined to think.

and effective reply Of Lord Decies as
