ARMY BUDGET INCREASE WILL BE
 BOOSTED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS
Conference Between President Wilson and Chairman Hay of Appropriations Com
 mittee Gives Idea of Plans

naval preparation programs with Chairman Hay of the house mili- tary appropriations committee in connection with Secretary Garri- sons play for a complete reorgani- zation of the army. Financial as pect of the proposed increase has been talked over between President Wilson and Chairman Hay, with the result, it is believed, that Secre- tary Garrison's origir al recom- mendations are regarded as rather extravagant. The program now con- sidered is believed to contemplate an addition of at least twenty thousand to the regular army, a shorter enlistment term as an in ducement to citizenry, an increase of coast and field artillery-all to be taken care of in an army bud get of 0,000,00O, or an increase of approximately fifty million dol lars over last years budget.
 Secretary Tumulty insists that absolutely no discord between Pres ident Wilson and Secretary Garri- son exists that they are working in thorough harmony, and that no threat of resignation by Secretary Garrison has been heard.

Washington, Oct. 14.-(Special tC Khe Press) From a purely verbal standpoint, there came from the White House this morning an echo of the days of Teddy-echoes of a governmental era when all things 'displeasing to the then president were characterized as fabrications and untruths, these charactizations being garnished with really pyro- technic lingo.
 Todays reminder of the Roosevelt regime came when Secretary Tumul- ty, his patience worn to a frazzle from a weeks toll in replying to various reports concerning Presi- dent Wilson's engagement, stamped oas "a lie" the report that Secretary Garrison had forced the chief eXecu- tive into accepting an extravagant military and naval program by threats of resignation. "A plain lie, that's all," said Tumulty, in re- saonse to numerous questions di- rected by press representatives who were eager to get line on admin istration plans for national defense.

 Interesting Figures.

The Greene county board of equal izers completed the work of revis- ing and adjusting the tax assess ments several days ago and County Judge Light is now engaged in dis posing of appeals lodged in his court from the changes made by the equalizers.

PENNINGTON is
DRAGGED into
CROKER CASE.

In a suit and answer filed today in
Circuit Court, in which the name of
Roland d. Crocker, the lawyer who
disappeared from the city six months
ago, figures prominently Frank
Schwarzwaelder. executor of the es-
tate of William Roman, accuses Will
lam Pennington, a well-known local
lawyer, former assemblyman and for
mer alderman, of obtaining money
from the estate by misrepresentation
and Pennington denies the charge and
AYERS he is a victim of misplaced con-
fidence in Croeker.
Crocker was co-eXecutor of the
Roman estate, but was removed De-
cember %, 1914, by the court, after
his disappearance. Schwarzwaelder,
who lives at 329 Frelinghuysen ave-
nue., is now sole executor.
SehWarzwaelder in his complaint
alleged that on March %, 1909 Pen
nington got $500 from the executors
by representing that he had per-
formed services of that value and the
Orphans Court would allow that sum
upon application. According to
Sehwarzwaelder, the court did not
allow that amount or any part of it,
and has since refused to return 1t.

Grain Mark eft

CHICAGO, May 7-Wheat eased off
today. Influenced by predictions that
the government crop report would be
in favor of the bears. Continued lib
eral receipts tended further to make
the market decline. Trade lacked
volume. After opening at the same
as last night to 1c lower, prices raj
lied, but again showed a disposition
to sag.
More pronounced weakness deVel-
oped later, especially after news
seemed confirmed that the Lusitania
had been sunk. The close was heavy
at IA to 21a under last night.
Corn hardened as a result of a
little buying on account of wet
weather in Argentine. Wheat weak
ness, however, prevented any mate
rial upturn. The opening, which va
ried from 4 to 4 off, was followed by
advances to above last nights level.
Big export elearances of oats helped
make oats firm. Pit offerings were
light.
Afterward selling pressure increased
and a material setback took place the
same as in wheat. The close was
heavy at / to 1% net decline.
Lower prices for hogs carried down
provisions. Pork led the decline.

newed liquidation at the opening of
the cotton market today, and first
prices we're IS to 20 points lower.
Houses with Liverpool connections

market firmed up shortly after the
call, with October advancing to with

weakness in Liverpool to further
liquidation and continued hedge sell
ing against purchases of cotton di
verted to Liverpool from the CONT

The buying movement was sudden

noon by reports that the Lusitania

about 81 a bale. Covering checked
the decline around this level and
caused slight rallies, but the under

1890 a. m.-Priee changes at the
outset of today's market operations
reflected further Irregularities and con-
fusion, due in part to London, where
Americans were heavy. War special
ties were not especially prominent, eX-
eept Bethlehem Steel, which soon rose
six points to 154, one point under its
record price. Reading was heaviest

Steel was barely steady, while other
prominent issues moved Variably.

Noon-The morning session was al
most the dullest of any day for a
fortnight, with a continuance of the
uncertain undertone. Standard
stocks denoted further selling. Read
ing, Union Pacific and Coppers yield

Steel lost a very small part of its
gain and other specialties of this

Improvement in motors and oils,

London's gloomy view of the war

again deterrent factors. Bonds were

of the Lusitania was followed by
enormous selling orders. Losses ran
from to u points in standard stocks
