COMMITTEE IN SESSION

How to cut down s4o.071, 1850 the esti-
mated requirements for current expenses
OF municipal departments In 1916. to the
s31,S2I0S71 available for appropriation,
was tie problem faced by members of
Councils Finance Committee when they
met today to go over and prune the de-
mands Of departmental and bureau heads.
The financial problem is made more diff
ficult by the fact tha tnfter deducting
lawful obligations which amount to
i9,60j,657sS from the amount available,
there Is left a net balance for depart
mental needs of only s22, ,22t 43O.S3, or a
decrease of s154 T0I.30 from the funds
available for departmental purposes in
1915. The increase In lawful obligations
arises from an increase In payments on
funded debt and payments to the sinking
fund. Che total demand made by re-
partmonts for 1915 Is S71, ,1Ol. .96 of which
s3J, ,092, 1915 is for acquisition OF additional
property and equipment. Many of the
demands are provided for in the 100000 900
loan that will be put to a vote of the
people on February S.
The 1lnanciers had before them today
the heads Of the county and city offices
and after each had outlined his needs the
various budgets were referred TO the sub
committee on appropriations. This body
will hold executive sessions daily until
the bills finally are cut down enough for

Few Business Men Know Citi-

Along the political rialto they may know
all about the men who make UP the

Most OF the men who will be directors or

This was demonstrated by canvass OF

The directors and assistant directors
were prominent enough for every morn

so prominent that any of the business

The only man commented upon was

Wharves. Docks and Ferries.

This is the only policy l have worked

Germany Will Demand
Reasons for Recall of At

SETS NEW PRECEDENT
Heretofore Only Mere Request
Necessary to Have Foreign
ENJOYS Recalled
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.

WASHINGTON, DeC' o.
The report was current in official cir
cles hero this afternoon that Germany
has replied to the State Departments de-
mand for the recall OF Captain Boy-Ed,
naval attache, and Captain Won Papen.
military attache, by requesting a reason
for such action. II is understood that
Germany has taken the position that she
cannot recall the officers unless the
United States can show that they have
violated the laws OF this country.
This action liz declared by officials to
he without precedent. Heretofore when
n nation has made 1t known that the
ENJOYS OF another are persona non grata,
the ENJOYS have always been withdrawn
without further parleying. Oficials
would not discuss the report, nor indl-
cate what action this Government VIII
take.
Confidential advices received here from
Berlin indicate that the demand for the
recall of Captains Boy-Ed and Won Pa
pen has created a bitter feeling through
out Germany. It is said that the deci-
sion of the German Foreign Office to de-
mand an explanation of the United
States was reached after careful consid-
GRAFTON had been given to public feeling,
Germany Is understood to make the
charge that most OF the evidence against
Captains Won Papcn and Boy-Ed was
by British secret agents in
this country. The reason Germany
wants the charges against the attaches
made public ls that she may then have
an opportunity to prove that British
agents have been active in this country.
II the United States should refuse to
make public the evidence on which It
based its request for the recall of the at
taches, II was said that Germany may
send home the American military and
naval attaches in Berlin.

intervene were made: but for one reason
or another the sister OF Murphy was pre-
vented fro n seeing the Governor, while
day after day was lost.
Last Friday she received a letter from
the chief clerk In the gubernatorial Of
tces telling her the Governor was un-
willing TO have her visit him. Then the
next day II seemed that there had been

and hear her appeal for her brother. but
she had not come.
The attorney for Murphy. f. T. Tobin.
wrote the Governor a long letter today,
asking him to visit Murphy In his cell

with the Governor tomorrow to have the
