ASQUITH CONSULN NJ
UNIONTST LEADERS ON
CABINET CHANGES
British Premier in Confer
ence With Balfour, Bonar
Law and others. 4.
Churchill and Kitchener
May Go.

LONDON. May 2o
The gigantic task OF forming a war
Cabinet" occupied the attention OF
Premier Asaulth today, while the nation
waits impatiently for Official news OF
changes in the old ministry. Parliament
has adjourned until June 3, but II is
expected that the contemplated changes
will be announced before that time.
At his official residence in Downing
street the Prime Minister today conferred
with Arthur j. Balfour, who is said to
be slated TO become First Lord Of Ad-
n1iralty A. Bonar Law, Unionist leader,
who is certain of a portfolio; Lord Lans-
downe Sir Edward Grey, David Lloyd
George and Home Secretary McKenna.
It is still the consensus of opinion that
winston Spencer Churchill will have to
resign his place as First Lord Of tho
Admiralty The opinion is general. how
ever, that he should be retained in the
Cabinet.
Loru Fisher, First Sea Lord, will re-
tain his office, II being virtually certain
chat the Cabinet has refused to accept
his resignation.
The belief that Earl Kitchener will
leave the Cabinet for active service is
growing. A little while ago the idol OF
the nation. his popularity has been
dimmed by attacks OF newspapers. which
charge that he did not realize early
enough the Importance OF high explosives
in this war. It is admitted, however,
that when this was proved to him he
took the proper measures to secure ade-
quate supplies
Even among the Unonists there is a
demand that Lloyd George take over the
War Office. with Lord Kitchener as COM
fnauder-in-Chiaf controlling the DrOfps-
sionaI side It Ia not known whether
Kitchener would consider such an ar
rangement. II la the irony of the pres
ent situation that the newspapers which,
at the outbreak OF the war, called for
the Impeachment OF Asquith because he
did not appoint Kitchener to the War
Office now are leading the demand for
his removal
Lord Haldane, Lord High Chancellor,
Is believed to be certain of retirement.
The Marquis of Crewe, Secretary of
State for India. Is also to go, with Lewis
Harcourt, Secretary of State for the
Colonies, for whom 1t has been suggested
that he be raised to the peerage and
made Viceroy OF India. Augustine Biz
relli Chief Secretary of Ireland will go
willingly, 1t Is believed, as will the
Marquis of Crewe.
1f Mr.. Churchill should not go to the
front his placing seems to rest between
the India Office and the Colonial Office.
Conservative members are reported to
consider eight portfolios as their share,
the men they are all but certain to sup

CITY'S EXPENSES EXCEED
REVENUES BY 4,164.77
Report for 1914 Shows Deficit in Mu-
nicipalitv's Treasury.

City Controller Walton, In final re-
port on municipal finances for 1914 sub
mitted to Councils today. shows that the
city's expenses during that year exceed
ed the revenues from all sources by
ts04, ,1e4.U. He expresses the belief that
the operating deficit threatens TO be even
larger this year II the 81 tax rate for all
municipal purposes other than schools
ls to continue.
In discussing the deficit. Controller Wal
ton says In his report:
owing TO n very large Increase in cur
rent expenses in 1914 over 1919, the elm
ination Of an operating deficit, which
was anticipated in my annual report for
the year 1918, was not realized. The 1918
deficit OF t7s7, ,l435t was over million
dollars less than the deficit for the year
1912, which amounted to S1,s29, ,e07.5 so, and
II was hoped that further economies
would be effected during 1914 that would
result in an operating surplus. The in
crease In current expenses. however,
kept even pace with the increase in rev.
enue; in fact, slightly exceeded It, and
as result there is AN operating de-
hcit slightly in excess of the deficit shown
for the year 1913"

his establishment at IL o'clock in
the morning, as usual on Sundays,

about 3 o'clock he found that some
one had priced open the money
drawer of the safe and secured the

concealed himself in the store some
time during the morning, probably
in the basement. and committed the
robbery soon after the house was
closed, as neither door had been
molested. After the thief did his
work he left by the way of the rear
