Need of Budget Committee

The sad need in Congress of IA budget
committee is emphasized by this esti-
mate There can be no doubt that all the
the various departments and asked for at
the hands of Congress are worthy and
would tend to the uplift of conditions in
the country and be to the advantage OF
the public. The point is, can Congress af-
ford to flirt with fate, by granting them
in advance of absolute knowledge of what
the receipts of the treasury will be under
the new tariff law and income tax?
The session of Congress now in begin
ming, and principally the appropriations,
will determine largely the complexion OF
the next House of Representatives, for
this is going to be, to a considerable eX-
tent, a political session. If the boys On
the Hill fail to apply the pruning knife =
and no reliable and effective watch dog
OF the treasury makes himself famous
and saves the day-the republicans will
make the most of the situation and will
not fail to invite the attention of the
country to the fact that the democrats
have it on them when it comes to spend
ing the peoples money" 1t may be
paradoxical situation, but a congress-
mans constituents will praise him for get
ting big appropriations for his district,
and then defeat him if his party estab-
fishes a record for extravaganza. It's
almost a case of you'll be damned IL
YOU do, and you'll be damned if you
don't"

September %, 1911. futile effort was
made to have this testimony excluded.
Dr. Wagner declared he had spoken to
DR.. Craig and DIR. A II. Roberts about
giving up their lecture hours at the school
on that day in order to permit DR.. knabe
to address the students He said that
DIR. Roberts had readily agreed to give
way to DIR. Knabe.
Insulting Message
when | put the question to DR.. Craig,
said the witness. '.he arose from his seat
with a show of irritation. and said, oh,
tell her to go to hell'' l told him that l
could not carry any such message as that,
and he turned away without giving any
further answer
DIR. Wagner testified that DR.. Craig and
DR.. Knabe previously had been good
friends and that the former subsequently
had taken the latter home in his auto
mobile.
Cross examination of DR.. Wagner will
begin with the opening of court tomor-
row The defense hopes to show that DR..
Wagner and DR.. Craig have not been
on good terms since the incident occurred,
Two Indianapolis newspaper men, Paul
White and Ray Baumgardner, witnesses
for the state told of interviews they had
with DR. Craig after DIR. Knabe's death.
'The friendship between us was like that
of two men," Baumgardner quoted DR..
Craig as saying, What can a man do
when he is accused in a case of this
kind?"
Baumgardner declared Craig had admit
ted having loaned to DR.. Knabe money,
which SHE had paid back.

Official Estimate Runs Well
Above Billion Dollars
for Coming Year
NEED OF BUDGET
COMMITTEE SEEN

Will Then Be Condemned
for Extravaganza
BY C. e. STEWART.

Washington, December 3.-(Spec1al,l
This is a billion dollar country, all right,
and Uncle Sam has figured up and finds
that he needs this amount, and then some
to carry on his big establishment for the
fiscal year ending June 30 1915. Finding
that this amount of money is needed he
has made a request of Congress in the
form of an official estimate from Secre-
tary McAdoo of the treasury department.
1t is almost impossible for the ordinary
mind to grasp or comprehend these fig
ures-a billion of dollars is a great deal
of money-and yet the treasury estimates
exceed this sum by over 100000, the real
demands of the country, according to
Secretary McAdoo, being $l10S, ,6Sl ,777.R.
Failure on the part of Congress to provide
the last figure-the tow cents-would not
be considered Chubby"
Less Than for Present Year
AS large as they are, these estimates
are less by $l5000,0OO than the estimates
for the year ending June, 1914, including
the supplemental requests. The govern
ment offsets a part of this sum also by
the postoffice estimates of receipts, and
only asks for the net sum of $SOl, rs, 500,
as they figure the postoffice receipts at
cally mentioned is not provided they might
also make up that by hurry up sale of
one 2-cent stamp. Almost any patriotic
officeholder would be willing to accom-
modate them to that extent
If Congress yields to the demands of
the treasury, then the real sum that MUST
be raised from the tariff, income tax, TO-
bacco and liquor licenses and miscellan-
eous sources of revenue is something
above $S00,000 900, and this vast sum will
be paid out again for clerks, soldiers, bat
tleships and the operation of the great and
intricate machinery of government and
power. While the estimates are less, the
actual appropriations for the year ending
June, 1914, net total-eXclusive of the
postal appropriations, was $7SS, ,S64, 59S73.
The pruning knife threatened by the
democratic party is not in evidence in
these estimates prepared by the Presi-
dents cabinet officers. The navy asks foc
two new battleships, eight new torpedo
boat destroyers, and sundries. The army
asks for $10,000,000 more money than ii got
the last time; great projects are outlin al
in every department ,and each seems am
bilious to make a big showing The list
of public improvements, new channels to
be dredged, new buildings to be erected
dot the country with thousands upon thou
sands of workmen.

three late last night when Peter
snyder succumbcd to his injuries at
the Tulsa hospital. IL was thought ~
IL O'Clock this morning that the other
victims would live through the night.
The anticipated poisoned pleasure
of smoking a cigarette yesterday
afternoon killed one man outright
and transformed five stalwart bodies
into writhing forms of mangled and
torn and burned flesh.
In the briefest flight of time imag-
Unable it occurred, surrounding the
open mouth of a new oil well, at
Price. five miles west of Tulsa, a few
yards from the tracks Of the A, V.
q w. railway simultaneously with
the fare of match, there was a
binding fash For distance of $50
feet on all sides of the well the very
air seemed to burst into flame. that
fingered but the briefest second and
disappeared. leaving i'm its wake the
deadliest of gas, carbon monoxide.
But IN that brief second came the
instant death Of one man. while the
greatest agonies OF most painful burns
wrapped five other men In awful tor
ment The dead:
CHARLES NJ. WRIGHT. driller.
HAROLD COOK, tool dresser.
The injured:
PETER SNYDER,
FRANK SNYDER, brother Of the
former
STEPHEN SNYDER, son Of Peter
Snyder
HARRY BROWNFIELD.
The Identity of the man who
struck the match IL unknown.
Nothing Was saved.
Everything within the scope Of the
exploding gas began burning. Wright
was standing on the platform Of the
well. His body was blown distance
Of fifteen feet where II lay face
downward for hours. Burning oil
from the well Immediately began
spouting into the air a distance OF
thirty feet or more. Intense heat
from II made IL impossible to save
the form of the dead man. His body
roasted where It lay. Hours after
wards but little else than bones with
hot reekng flesh adhering to them
here and there, was taken away and
prepared for burial
The other men were scattered from
so to $50 feet from the well when
the explosion came. They were res
cued. but In a plight horrible to look
upon. Cooked skin and flesh hung
from their faces and arms.
We'll still Burning.
The fire destroyed the derrick.
drilling equipment. several wagons
and team of horses In n minutes
time. and all that now remains about
