PORK ESTIMATES WILL STAND


WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Leaders
Of the administration in conference
today with President Wilson decided
that there was no immediate need
for legislative action to increase the
governments revenues. Secretary
McAdoo of the treasury announced
tonight IL had agreed that at the end
Of the fiscal year that the govern
ment would better know the effects
OF the European war and what, II
anything, is necessary to be done.
Mr. McAdoo declared that he still stood
bv his estimate OF the governments
revenue for the fiscal year ending next
June. which, compared with his estihate
OF expenditures, would leave a deficit oil
slO,OOOOOC.
1t was understood after the conference
that suggestions that the war revenue
act be extended for six months and that
congress abandon the s34,OOO,oOO river and
harbor bill, struck no responsive chord.
Can't Cut Any More.
On the other hand, the cabinet officers
were said to have made It plain that in
accordance with the presidents sug-
gestion they had cut their estimates OF
expenditures to the very limits and could
not make further reductions without
risking impairing the efficiency Of their
departments.
The estimates sent TO congress in De
cember aggregated $7lO.OO0.OO0 to which
s2s,OO0OO0 was to be added for Panama
canal disbursements. Some additional
estimates have been sent in since then,
however, and substantial additions to the
proposed appropriations have been made
by the house committee in drafting the
supply bills. Secretary McAdoo's esti-
mate Of revenues, exclusive of the Post
office department, was S72S OO0,0OO, This
includes 500, 100000 from customs, $685.
100000 from ordinary internal revenue,
50. 100000 from the emergency war tax
and $SO,0OO,OOO from the income and cor
poration tax.
Balance Dropping.
The net balance tonight in the treas
ury was about $56,OOo,0OO. 1t is slowly
dropping.
Internal revenue receipts for Novem-
Der compiled today by the bureau show
a falling off compared with November,
1918, of about 81, 100000, The five months
ending November 80, compared with the
same period 1918 shows an increase of
about S4,5O0,OO0 Only part of the war
tax law was effective in November, 1914,
but the revenue from it amounted to
H,151145.

Narragansett is cosmopolitan. and
the members of the villa colony as

country. New York. the large cities Of
the East, and scattering number from
the Western towns all mingle with the
summer life at the Pier. il is this as
poet partly that makes Narragansett
an interesting summer resort Later
on, with the gathering OF 'the POLO
clans from New York and Philadelphia,
more gayeties will be introduced here,
for poloists are noted for their enter
tanning. and this summer is not likely
70 be any exception 70 the rule. So
the American Trouville" may well an
ticipate a season Of unusual gayety
and with numerous polo entertainments
when the various teams arrive here
from Long Island, Bryn Mawr and New
