DEAD PLEAD THAT WILL CUT DIRECT
DEATH CHAIR GO TAX TO $lO,OOO,OOO
Prendergast and McAneny
Told City's Burden Will
Be Lightened.
rFrorn star Correspondent, Of Tie Tribune.

Albany. March 3.-New York City,
through two of its elected representa-
tives- Controller Prendergast and
President McAneny e the Board of
Aldermen protested 10 the Governor
and to the legislative leaders to-day
against any unnecessary direct tax.
Mr.. McAneny and Dir. Prendergast t
told the Governor and the legislators
that the city was bearing nearly as
heavy financial burden as it could
carry. They received assurances that
instead of an Sls.000.000 direct tax,
which would mean that New York City
would have TO pay 81 100000 more in
taxes this year. the direct tax would
not be more than $10,000,000.
Mr.. McAneny and Mr.. Prendergast
pointed out that f an SlS,00O,0OO di-
rect tax was levied it would mean 10
per cent increase for New York prop
erty owners. As Mr.. Prendergast put
it:
"If such tax is levied it means
that man now paying $4,000 ~ taxes
will have to pay 81 600"
Controller Prendergast has had three
OF his best expert accountants gong
over the finances of the state in Al
bany.
"0ur object in this said the New
Workers. rs 10 investigate our budget
at its source. for New York City pay s.
so per cent of the state budget
The city is prepared 20 protest
against direct tax unless the state
officials can show that IT is absolutely
necessary and that the taxes cannot be
raised in any other manner. The CITY
authorities have prepared an ltemZed
list Of the taxpayers of the city, show
ing how a direct tax will affect John
Smith, with his 81 500 home in Queens,
as well as big realty holders.
The Governor sympathized with the
New York representatives and told
them there was 10 desire to necdlessly
burden the city or any other section
Of the state.
Senator Brown told Mr.. Prendergsst
and Mr.. McAneny that $5,0O0.OOOO of
tho SS,OOO,OO0 Topped of the original
amount intended TO be raised by di-
rect tax would be raised by indirect
taxes. such as an increase on liquor
and automobile licenses.

JOB TIRES LITTLE MOTHER
Despondent IL Year-Old Girl
Seeks Rest in Suicide.


philadelphia, March 3. One Of the
most pathetic cases ever recorded IN
this city is now occupying physicians
a St. Joseph's Hospital, where Dorothy
Farr is lowering between life and
death after trying to kill herself at the
age % twelve by swsllow.ra p, on.
Tn, girl had been caring for younger
brother and sister since her mother
die some time agJ, and the duties o.
housekeeper at her home proved so
wearing that she decided TO end her
life.
The little girl is the youngest who
has ever attempted suicide IN TINS CITY,
according 20 the police. She was very
nervous and uneasy while attending
Sc. DOL to-day. When her teacher asked
her whether she felt ILL., she murmured
that she had swallowed poison and
wanted to die. ,...,-
Investigation showed that the little
girl had taken poison tablets. The doc
tors are not sure whether she will re-.
cover. She told them that she had
been acting AS "little mother" for
her eight-year-old brother Ralph and
four-year-old sister Marie, and that she
was tired.

uelles Awake Historic
Ambitions.

Athens. March 3. Greek public opln-
ION, which is following the bomparo-
ment Of the Dardanellcs with the live
lest emotion. is becoming daily more
restive i'm favor Of Greek participation
in the expedition, and even the govern
mcnt press is urging immediate action
To-niGbt the "Hestia," which is the most
cautious Of the government papers;
noints out that, while Rumania and
bulgaria might possibly receive COM
pensation for mere neutrality Greece ce
cannot hope to obtain recognition OF
her historic national rights unless she
takes an energetic part in the cam
paign on the side of the Triple Entente
powers, and the "Hestla" assures @ @tne
government that the Greek people are
willing to submit TO great sacrihces
TO attain this end.
The government maintains an abso-
lutte reserve, but the persistent rumors
current regarding imminent action by
Greece are steadily increasing pubic
emotion.

WILSON CUTS CANAL TRIP
Reason? Congress Wouldn't
Appropriate for Expenses.

Washington, March 3. Many feat
ures of the elaborate exercises planned
for the formal opening OF the Panama
Canal in July will be abandoned as the
result of the refusal of Congress to
make the appropriation asked for by
Secretary of War Garrison to defray
expenses on a trip to the Canal by
President Wilson, members of Con-
gress, members Of the diplomatic
corps. representatives from foreign
governments and other special guests,
including ex-Presidents Roosevelt and
Taft. Provision was 10 be made for a
dinner and other entertainments on
the isthmus. for gold medal souvenirs,
and for the printing of special invi-
tations.
II was intimated tonight that the
President would not go to the formal
opening, which is planned for July,
but he may change his present plans.
The Navy Department has an appro-
priation for sending the feet to the
canal, and il is said some kind of exer-
cises probably will be held.

The record Of the Senate during the
