GOVERNOR ByRNE (
SWINGS VETO AK
Cuts Out Six Items In General
Appropriation Bill and Kills
House Files 1877
and 1870.

Pierre, S. D., March 16.-Governor
Byrne has vetoed six items IN the gem
eral appropriation bill, cutting out a
total OF $49,050 from appropriations
made by the 1915 legislature, leaving
the grand total appropriation for 1918
at $3,476,472.S3, or a decrease OF
$62,237.32 from the appropriations Of
two years ago.
The items which Governor Byrne
vetoed today are:
The sum Of $4,000 for the inSur-
ance department, on the grounds that
the law provides that office shall exist
upon it's receipts; appropriations made
for it's maintenance are illegal.
The sum of $1,000 Is cut from the
railroad commissioners; $4,000 from
the militia; $4,000 cut out for carrying
the Richards primary law n effect.
which Governor Byrne rules Is not q
valid charge against h state; $1,000
Is cut from the blue sky department
which was q deficiency; that office
must also exist on It's fees; $1,000 was
cut from the appropriation for live
stock on the Cottonwood experiment
station on the ground that such an
experiment Is not advisable at this sta
ton.
In addition to appropriations We
toed, Governor Byrne vetoed house bill
1877. providing the enure OF office Of
the county superintendent should run
until June l. This would, in his esti-
nation, cause confusion. Also house

AMERICAN TREASURY
FACES BIG DEFICIT

Washington, D. c., March l5.-State-
ments issued yesterday by Chairman
Fitzgerald, of the House appropriations
committee, and Representative Gillett,
the ranking republican, agree that the
appropriations of the last session of
totaIed LIE, 12l 400; that CON
tracts involving additional appropria-
tons Of $37, 400, 900 were authorized and
that a treasury deficit Is probable. Both
statements agree that the present lack
OF system in making federal approprt-
atoms is slip shod and ought to be rem
edied.
Chairman Fitzgerald's statement did
not give the total Of appropriations for
the entire Sixty-third congress. Mr..
Gillett placed that total at 81 .231 ,000,-
900, which, he said. was $l1S, 600, 900
greater than tina Of the Sixty-second
congress. and $177. 600, 900 more thar the
last republican congress appropriated.
Mr.. Fitzgerald estimated that should
the condition Of the treasury continue
as ut present until June 30. the total
deficit would be $l33. eco. 900 offset,
however. by the income tax collections.
which are estimated at about $50. 000,-
OCO. Mr.. Gillett asserted in his state
ment that the treasury has not been
so empty since the Cleveland admin
istrGtiOn.

Half of Population May

London, March IA dispatch to
Reuters Telegram company from Ath-
n says:
THE epidemic of typhus fever in
Serbia Is now reported to be diminish
Ing. Many doctors died from the dis
ease and the American Red Cross units
also suffered. One American doctor
committed suicide while in a delirium.
Another doctor and several American
nurses were attacked by the disease,
but are now convalescent, either pre-
pairing to return to the United States.
Some doctors are coming into Serbia
to assist.
Sir Thomas Upton. whose yacht Erin
is now being used by the Serbian Red
Cross as a hospital ship, sends from
Serbia to the British Red Cross society
a description OF the situation there.
1T Is almost impossible for me to de-
scribe the terrible position of Serbia on
account of poverty and disease, espe-
cially the latter" he writes.
THE hospitals everywhere are
crowded with typhus cases. Edward
w. Ryan, of the Red Cross, says that
unless something is done to prevent
the spread Of this disease. the country
will lose half Of its population. There
Is such a shortage of hospitals that 1t
is impossible to isolate the typhus cases
from the others.
II am certain that no country in the
world today is in so serious "A condi-
ton AS Serbia. The first hospital |
visited was an American institution at
Ghevgheli, which formerly was a to-
bacco factory. 1t contains 1.400 pa
tents, mostly typhus cases. many OF
them lying without blankets or mat
t~resses. l saw one dead man lying
among them.
"Of IL American nurses, seven are
sick with typhus. OF six American doc
tors. three have typhuS.
THE hospitals are very bad in Bel
grade, where ! was nearly finished by
an Austrian shell. The situation Is
worse at Nish. The hospitals are short
sf everything-drugs, surgical supplies,
blankets and sheets.

I'VE cannot resist the issuance of the
writ" said Mr.. Cook. but we shall
fight the ease on Its trial with all the
means at our command. 1t will mean
going over again the whole history of
the Thaw case and will involve the
calling again of all the witnesses in
previous trials hat are now available
Mr.. Cook said IL the issue OF Thaw's
mental condition came to trial, he eX-
pected to include Evelyn Nesbit Thaw

Dor OF Progreso, Mexico. February %.

Captain w. J.. Ryan and nine members
of the crew OF the Ward line tug Aux

work in Mexican ports for several
years. According TO Captain Ryan the
PrOgreso vas blown up by what her
officers supposed was a barrel OF but
ter, just brought aboard. She sank
soo after the explosion.
Captain Ryan said the commander or
the Progreso had been warned that
feeling in Yucatan was high against
the CarranZa government, which he
represented. When the Progreso en-
tered the harbor. Captain Ryan said.
she was ordered by the Yucatan troops
to leave. Instead her captain asked
permission to take on supplies. II
was given with the result that the gun
boat was blown up by an internal ma
chine hidden in the supplies.
The report nat YuCatan had asserted
It's independence Of all present govern
ments in Mexico was confirmed by
Captain Ryan. He said that Yucatan
had now 10000 men under arms to
maintain her independence. Some OF
the alleged plans of the YuCatan gov

ported March 2 from Progreso to Ha-
! Vana by the AuXilliar.
Il was told by One of the party
Captain Ryan said. that a movement
was afOot in Yucatan to request the
United States to recognize Yucatan's
independence. Another plan was to
establish a protectorate over Xucatany
somewhat similar to that exercised
over Porto Rico. II this could be done
without depriving the state OF Its SOW
