GOVERNOR c0NFERRING
WITH C0NKLING AS TO
A SPECIAL SESSION

Governor Pinkham may determine
this afternoon, or within the next few
days, whether a special session of the
legislature is necessary. He Is hold
ing a conference this afternoon with
Territorial Treasurer Conkling, who
has received reports and estimates
from the various heads of depart
ments, and together they are study
ing the financial status of the gov
ernment in detail.
AS the territorial treasurer explain
ed the situation this morning it is
about as follows:
The law requires the treasurer to
determine an additional tax levy this
month if the estimated expenses and
receipts in the current fund indicate
that there will be a deficit on May
10, 1915.
COnkling's figures now show that
there will be such a deficit in the
current fund, approximately 100000.
If it we're not that the law requires
it, the special levy, it is thought, would
be unnecessary, as this deficit might
be easily tided over. especially in view
of the fact that the next regular ses-
sion of the legislature would be able
to meet the deficit before it actually
occurHSd-and without drawing addi-
tional honey from the taxpayers, at
that.
A total of about 1862 200 is tied up
in special funds. The needed money
could be taken from them. and that is
probably what the special session
would be asked to do if it were called,
it is said.
Conkling stated today that the total
saving in sight today, by the ecOno-
mics promised in the bureaus of the
territorial government is about $685.
977.41. The total appropriations by
the legislature of 1913 amounted to
$685. 1880; the balance on July /,
1918. was $3,157,397.64.
The amount needed in the current
fund to May Is. 1915, is sass, sos. IL;
the estimated income to the current
fund to May Is, 1916, is $2,1S3,726.
Yet at the same time there Is pill
ing up in the special funds, which un-
der present conditions can not be
tapped to supply the current fund and
thus meet the general operating ex-
penses Of the government, the follow
ing sums:
Immigration and conservation, $275,-
900; sanitation. $24S,O00; misceIlane-
Gus. $107. 900 and special water IL
.censes, $4,000, or q total of $662, 900.

Callaeeio had until November
owned q barber shop in Philadelphia.
He sold his business place and left
there November 10 to seek new place
of residence. Knowing that he had
considerable money from the sale of
the shop, il is believed fellow country
men lured him here, slew him foe his
money and then deposited ,he hody in

WOMAN JUMPS TO DEATH
Locks Husband Prom Room in New
York Hotel Before Suicide

New York, Nov. S0.-Guests at the
Hotel Ansonia yesterday morning saw
woman step out on the ledge of win
dow on the eighth floor and plunge into
the open court above the carriage en-
trance. The body struck with such
force on n stone ledge outside the
dining room window that chandeliers
inside were shaken ami several persons
jumped from the breakfast tables,
Thanking there had been an explosion.
The woman, who was dead when her
body was picked up, was Mrs. Ray II.
Winston, wife of Albert Winston, of
Dohbs Ferry.
Those who hurried. to the eighth floor
found MIR. Winston tugging frantically
at the door of his apartment. He and
his wife had had breakfast in their
room, and when Mr.. Winston stepped
out of the room for moment Mrs Win
sten locked the door. Hearing her
scream, he ran back, but could not get
into the room.
1t was learned that Mrs. Winston
had undergone an operation which,
while not serious, was not entirely sue
eeSsful. The prospect of a second opera
tion worried her, and for several days
she had shown signs of mental de,res-
sion. In addition, it was said, Mrs.
Winston had business interests to which
she always attended herself. and these
had given her much anxiety.
