ing ]. F. burst, at Johnston, April IA
1906, after representation had been
made that the prisoner would be in
danger of lynching if returned to the
southern state.
Counsel for Brown has made extraor-
binary efforts to keep him out of
South Carolina. After his arrest several
years ago his counsel pleaded that If
Brown were returned to that state he
would be in danger of lynching.
The requisition finally was issued by
Gov. Tener and Browns counsel carried
the case through all the United States
courts to the supreme tribunal, which
sustained the lower courts in refusing
to interfere.
In asking for the withdrawal of the
reuuisition by Gov. Brumbaugh counsel

recent lynching in South Carolina.
A hearing in the case will be given
by Gov. Brumbaugh next week.

MAY OPEN PLAYGROUND.
Johnson-Pow Schools Parent.
Teachers to Decide.

Whether summer school play
ground is to be opened at the Johnson
Powell schools is to be decided tonight
when the ParentTeacher Association,
representing those schools, meets in
the Powell building. These schools
have never had a playground, and this
year the amount in the general play
ground fund is not large enough to
maintain one there. The organizations
treasury, however, has sufficient funds
for the purpose.
In the event it is opened, and the
school officials are expected to CO.
operate in the opening if the money
for its maintenance is appropriated,
regular playground work and the
coaching of backward children are to
to be carried on. Mrs. Robert H.
Young is president of the association.

However, Period Is Likely to
Appear When More Funds
Are Necessary.
FISCAL LEGISLATION
OR BOND SALE PROBABLE
Administration Expected to Take
Steps to Guard Against
Deficit Later On.

With a working balance at the first
of the new fiscal year Of $s2.025.716.o3
in the general fund Of tho United
States Treasury-should conditions this
year parallel those of last year-the
government could stand excess OF or
binary disbursements equal to that Of
last year. s35.S64.3s1.56. and also pay
the bills of the Panama canal and of
the public debts equal to tho total OF
last year. s29.234,575.22. and still have
nearly $1s.000.O00 to the credit Of the
general fund at the close Of the year.
There would. under such parallel con-
ditions. be no need during the year for
bond issue-if 1t were not for the
probability that some time during the
year. as seems sure to happen. the ex-
penditures will SO far exceed receipts
as to wipe out for the time all SEM
blance OF a working balance in tho
general fund.
Such a condition nearly came about
last fiscal year. when the general bal
ance, after going down at the rate of
a couple of millions of dollars daily.
reached a low-water mark of a little
over $12,000,000 toward the end OF May,
before starting upward again to the
high-water mark of the last day, when
the books were posted for the year.
Balance Nearly Disappears
A similar condition exists every year.
but not for years to such an extreme so
that there appeared prospect Of wiping
out the entire balance. And when the
balance has seemed about to disappear in
past years every administration has found
it necessary to take means to prevent
such a condition. although there would be
still millions in the treasury charged OF
to accounts held in trust by the govern
ment.
Such contingency can now be fore
seen. although not a prospective condi-
ton until the second half of the pres
emit fiscal year. 1t is reasonable to as
sumo that the administration will take
some means to prevent such a condi-
ton, either by increasing the revenues
by further emergency legislation to be
enacted quickly at the next session of
Congress. or. later. by the sale OF Pam
anna canal or other bonds, or some
other alternative measure. At present
the matter can rest, and probably no
step will be considered necessary be-
fore the assembling of Congress.

IMMIGRATION NEARLY OFFSET.
Departing Aliens Almost Equal Ar.
rivals in Past Twelve Months.

The number of departing aliens al
most equaled the number arriving in
the United States during the last fiscal
year. says the immigration bureau Of
the Department Of Labor in a state
ment made public today. immigration
was reduced to the lowest mark for
sixteen years.
The total number of immigrants for
the year which ended yesterday was
456.Ss7. as compared with 1,435.310 dur
ing the last preceding fiscal year. More
than $1,000 arrivals were refused ad-
mittance, thus making the total of
actually admitted aliens less than
100000.
The decline in immigration has
brought about some dismissals in the
immigration stations at the principal
ports, but has caused no changes in
the Washington office.
