LARGE TREASURY GEF|C|T.
SENATOR SIMMONS SAYS TT WILL
NOT BE OVER $4,000, 900.
Chairman Of Finance Committee Saws
Receipts Have Fallen Below Esti-
natcs-I>ascd on Investigations.

Washington, March 20.-Chairman
Simmons, of the senate finance COM
mittee, took issue today with prophets
Of large treasury deficit in a state
ment saying his investigations at the
treasury have convinced him the de-
icit will not exceed 26,0OO,OO0.
Senator Simmons said there had
been so many conflicting estimates of
the probable deficit, some as high as
$3.50, 100000, that he decided Ito as
certain the real facts"
During the past week." he said.
Il have been closely investigating this
matter and as q result I feel safe in
saying that the probable deficit will
not, If any, much exceed s26, 900, 900.
"Of course, this does not include
the expenditures on account of the
Panama Canal. These exr.-.ses are
otherwise provided for sy law, and
are not required to pe paid out of
the current funds of the government"
Total estimated receipts in Septem-
Der, 1913, were $736,oOO,OOO, Senator
Si:nnons said, and estimated expendf-
lures 100000 showing s1S,OOo.-
600 excess Of receipts
THE receipts from practically ev-
cry source" he added, have fallen
below the estimate, due to depressed
business conditions on account of the
war IN Europe. Although the reve-
nue. derived from internal revenue tax
probably will be increased by the
Emergency Revenue Act over the es-
Inmates by about $20,OOO,00O, there
was on March Is an excess Of ordi-
nary expenditures over receipts of ap.
proximately sS5, 100000, against a de-
ficit of s24.oOO,OOO on the same date
last year.
THE estimated receipts for the re-
mainder of the fiscal year total
s226, 100000 while the ordinary dis
bursements will amount to s207,OOO,-
600, an excess Of receipts over expen-
ditures for the remainder of the year
of s59,000,00O, showing a net de-
ficit of $26,OOO,O0O at the end of the
fiscal year.
The increases are due in part to
the normal growth of the govern
mept, and part are due to conditions
arising out of the European war and
the abnormal conditions in Mexico.
When the fact is considered that
the income tax is not required by law
to be paid until about the end of the
fiscal year, June 80, the circum.,
stances of an excess of disburse-
ments over receipts for the first half
Of the year and an excess of receipts
over disbursements during the last
half of the year, will be readily under
stood. 1t also will be apparent that
any estimate based upon the assump-
ton that the proportion of the receipts
and disbursements will be the same
during the first half is both mislead-
ing and erroneous"

The Young Mems Christian Asso-
cation campaign was formally launch
ed this morning. There are forty
men actively engaged in the work of
securing more members, five hundred
Of which are imperatively needed in
order that the association shall con-
tinue to do the effective work which
it has been doing for the past three
years.
During the past year the expenses
exceeded the income of the association
and it is impossible for the work to
continue long on this basis. In or
der to secure n sufficient income the
organization must have five hundred
full fledged contributing members
Enthusiasm in the work Of the asso-
citation among the members is always
high and these members are much
concerned to think that activities OF
the organization may be limited in
any way by the absence of funds to
carry on the work, as it has been con-
Quoted in the past. They are there
fore making a strenuous effort to Sc.
cure the desired number Of members
and everybody in the city will be
visited during the week and asked to

.HAYMSW0RTA HOUSE BURNED.
HANDSOME BUILDING ON CALL
HOUN STREET ALMOST To-
TALLY DESTROYED BY
FIRE.
Fire Caught I'm Library and Had
Spread Over Roof of Building
When Fire Department Arrived
Insurance on Building and Contents
Will Not Nearly Cover loss.
From The Daily Item, March 10.

From The Daily Item. March 10.
The residence of l.. C. Haynsworth
on Calhoun street was almost totally
destroyed by fire today. the loss be-
ing estimated at more than $4,000
with insurance Of about $1,000 on
the building and $4,000 on the con-
tents.
The fire caught at about 1890
o'clock in the library and was dis
covered by Mrs. Haynsworth. It's
origin is unknown. There seems to
have been some delay in sending in
the fire alarm, which gave the fire
time to spread all over the building
before the fire department reached
the scene. When the two lines Of
hose were stretched to the fire from
the nearest hydrants. 1t could be seen
at once that there was an inadequacy
OF water from those two streams to
fight the fire, which was blazing
fiercely all over the rear portion OF
the roof. The stiff breeze which was
blowing famed the flames TO burn
rapidly and the building. most Of
which was constructed Of heart tim
Der gave out an intense heat, which
made 1t more difficult to fight the
flames.
AT length three streams were Sc
cured, one of which was used to ex-
tinguish fire on barn in the rear Of
the premises. which several times
threatened to blaze up. The II. G..
McKagen house, next door, caught,
but the fire was extinguished in its
lncipiency. The residence Of Mrs.
Williams also caught, but was ex-
tinguished by the chemical engine,
the hose also being used
Before the fire department arrived
the members of the family and those
who reached the scene began moving
the furniture and household untensils
out of the house. Much of the furni-
ture was saved. but q great deal was
lost in the fire. Practically all of the
books In the library. where the fire
started. were destroyed and it was
thought that some portraits in this
room were also lost in the fire. The
house was a fourteen room structure,
front having been added to the
former home OF the family, anG all
of the building was totally destroyed
except part of this addition. What
of this was saved had the roof burn
ed off and was totally wrecked by fire
and water.
Mr.. Haynsworth stated that he
thought that there was about $4,000
insurance on the house and 1000 on
the contents. This will not nearly
cover the loss. as the residence was a
large one and probably valued at
$4,000 or $4,000 and the insurance
on the furniture will not nearly cover
the loss Besides this a large amount
OF household properties lost consisted
of books and family relics which can
not be replaced.
The fire department was still work
Ing on the fire at o'clock this after
noon. the fire being still burning at
places. The blaze caught In many
places between tho walls and was
hard to extinguish. The whole build
Ing was a total loss. The residence Of
Mr.. Williams was also. somewhat dam
aged by the fire and water.

himself in her dressing room because
she had spurned his love. He was
f1f4usly jealous of an East Indian
Gaekwar, then visiting in Paris, who
had given the actress wonderfully

man the secret spring by which the

You ask me why men feel as they
do about the vampire, what her

why she makes fools of men.
But, believe me, for every woman

thing from women - love, devotion,
