McAdOO Estimates Only
$150,O00,0O0 Additional
Needed Next Year.
PREPAREDNESS COST
TO BE $100,00O,0 900
Increased Returns from Income
Tax and Internal Levies Aid in
Meeting New Expenses.

"a hington, May iS.-Secretary Nc
Adoo to-day submitted to Chairman
Kitchin of the House Ways and Means
Committee and Chairman Simmons Of
the Senate Finance Committee revised
estimates Of the governments receipts
and expenditures for the remainder of
the current fiscal year and the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1917. They tend
to show that much less new revenue
will have TO be raised to meet the bill
for preparedness and other large con-
templated expenditures than had been
supposed.
Only about s15o,OO0,OOO in additional
revenue will have to be provided dur
ing the coming year, Mr.. McAdoo said.
This is less by s75,OO0,000 than the
most conservative members Of Congress
calculated at the outset of the sessions
would be needed.
All Of the additional revenue will
come from taxes on incomes, inheri-
tances and munitions, in accordance
with a plan approved by President Will
son.
Bill To Be Framed in Two Weeks.
News of the condition of the Treas
ury was a pleasant surprise TO the
WAYS and Means Committee. A meet
ing of the Democratic members Of the
committee quickly followed the return
Of Mr.. Kitchn to the Capitol. Later
he announced that the revenue raising
plan would be whipped into shape with
in two weeks and that the House would
begin 10 consider it Immediately after
the national conventions.
It is probable that all of the revenue
measures, including provision for pre-
paredness, revenues, a tariff commission
and the encouragement of the dye
stuff industry, will be included in an
omnibus bill. The President is under
stood to favor that plan.
Secretary McAdoo's figures showed
that the balance in the general fund.
exclusive of discussing officers credits,
probably would be S150.000.900 at the
end of the present fiscal year and sl3-
500. 900 at the end of the fiscal year of
1917. This estimate included expendi-
lures likely TO be made for the pro-
posed increase in the standing army
and on the naval programme now be-
fore Congress.
In addition TO preparedness measures
Mr. McAdoo's estimate included liberal
provisions for good roads rural credits

and expenditures 10 prevent and cope
with floods.
The additional cost Of preparedness
during 1917 was placed at from $780,
O0O. 900 TO 100000.
Mr.. McAdoo's previous estimate con-
tenplated the extension Of the emer-
CIV revenue tax to the end Of the fs-
cal year Of 1917. The emergency meas
ure expires by limitation December 81
next, and in compiling the revised esti-
mates Mr.. McAdoo figured on eliminat-
ING the stamp tax features Of the meas
ure from July / next.
Ordinary internal revenues, placed az
s272,O00 900 for 1916, in the December
estimate, will approximate 1903 ,000,0 900,
an increase of s3l 100000.
Revenue from the income tax will 70

McAdoo estimates. and above Sl05.C0O-

PROSPERITY IN JERSEY
BALKS CIRCUS PARADE
Munition Salaries Lure Workers
Small Dealers Quit.

Paterson, May 1S.-Generous sal
aries and unheard of concessions for
extra speed and overtime being paid
by the munition factories in this neigh
borhood have done more TO demoralize
industries in this part of the state than
the explosions that already have taken
a toll Of scores of lives.
Unless farmers, storekeepers and en-
ployers Of unskilled labor are willing
to pay higher wages than ever have
been paid for similar work, they must
close up their businesses or do the
work themselves. The result is that
several small businesses actually are
in the position OF being closed up by
Unprecedented prosperity.
The Barnum & Bailey Circus ar
rived here this morning from Trenton
50 short handed that il was almost i'm
possible TO carry out its schedule. The
bait of high wages had drawn its tent
men and drivers TO munitiOn factories.
At Trenton the circus had arrived
the day before several hours late and,
for the frs1 time in many years.
failed TO put on its scheduled parade.
The streets were lined with men and
women, but the covered wagons hur-
ried out to the show grounds where,
by working everybody overtime, it was
possible to put on the afternoon per-
Torrance two hours late. The night
performance was one hour late.
Dispatches from Butler say that the
farmers are arguing that milking cows
and operating plows are far less hazard
GUS than handling high explosives. The
arguments are of little avail, however,
and the farmers are being assisted by
wives and daughters pending lull in
the munition industry.

year building programme is highly
significant. It was pointed out to-
night that the adoption of a programme
would have been binding on the next
session of Congress, which the Demo
Gratis will control. This does not meet
until December, after the election.
The adoption of the programme, al
though not legally binding, would have
at least given two years start, and
have had a considerable moral effect
on future Congresses.
The opinion was freely expressed
that if the Democrats should win in
November. the navy appropriation
bills would be astOnishingly lig/ for
the following few years.
Majority Leader Kitchin of the
House expressed great satisfaction
with the bill, and said il might be
| brought up in the House next week,
although other Democratic leaders
were not hopeful that il could be voted
on before the national conventions.
Mr.. Kitchin's statement, however, is
| viewed as significant, as he has been
opposed 10 the Administrations pre-
paredness measures.
81 am so well pleased over the pro-
gramme as reported that | certainly
cannot object 10 it," Mr.. Kitchin said,
"and | may see my way clear 20 make
a speech in behalf of it. 1t is good
thing noC 90 appropriate for dread
naughts. They are Of no use, as the
present war is showing. One Of the
best features of the entire bill. in my
opinion. however. is the Hensley reso-
I luton looking TO permanent peace.
The adoption of that Will mean more
to the world than any other part of
0 the measure"
The only new ship design already
completed by the Navy Department is
for the scout cruisers They will dis
place between 1000 and 5000 tons, have
a maximum speed Of 35 anots an hour
and mount ten 6-inch long-range rifles.
Nothing Of similar speed or radius Of
action now is ahoat or has been pro-
posed by any foreign designers, so far
as known
The battle cruiser designs are not
complete. although IL has been decided
they will be $50 feet in length, have
a speed Of 35 knots. a range of action
of 10000 sea miles. a displacement OF
80 600 tons and either eight or ten OF
the heaviest guns ahoat. II ten guns
are mounted they viii carry l4-inch,
50-calibre main batteries, and If eight
guns are decided upon, they VIII carry
l6-inch rifles, the heaviest ever put
aAoat.
Plans for the battleships which Sec
rotary Daniels still is confident Con-
gress will provide call for 36OOO-ton
ships, mounting ten l6-inch rifles each
and with a speed OF 81 or more knots
an hour. They will have 1000 tons
more displacement than ships 70 be
laid down this year. and exceed by
nearly 5000 tons any foreign battle
ship built or being built so far as
navy designers know.
The battle cruisers will cost 500
100000 each, as against $4,000, 600 es-
timated for the dreadnoughts. On the
basis of the committee bin, navy ex-
pcrts figure that this Congress will
provide az least a total OF S9i,000,000
for now ships.

Braintree, Mass, May 1s.-ln train
accident Of an unusual character, on the
New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail
road here to-day, eight persons were
injured, four seriously. A combination
smoking-baggage car attached to a
train bound for Boston overturned as
the train started from the station, the
jolting OF the locomotive apparently
causing the body Of the car to part
from the trucks.
The train, which left Greenbush on
the South Shore for Boston. was round
ing a curve at the station when the
smoker overturned. The passengers
were caught between the car seats and
some were cut by broken glass.

bers join Secretary Daniels heartily in
his policy of delay. the keels of the two
dreadnoughts authorized more thar
fourteen months ago not yet having
been laid, nor are they yet in prospect.
The Democrats voted down q pro-
posal to force the completion of the
battle-cruisers in thirty months two
and a half years. after the date of au-
thorization. Similarly they voted
down proposals 70 force the compile
tion of the scout cruisers in eighteen
months, the destroyers in eighteen
months, and the submarines in a year.
Such undue haste might be taken as
slap at the administration for not
having started the dreadnoughts au-

WILSON APPROVED,

Controversy Over Loss of Life
Different from That Over
Trade, His Statement.

Mohonk Lake. N. Y, May 1s.-The
Lake Mohonk conference on interna-
tional arbitration to-day called TO order
/ George Haven Putnam, Of New York,
an ardent advocate Of preparedness, for
an attack upon William J. Bryan. Mr..
/ Bryan appeared later and replied to Mr..
/ Putnam.
Mr.. Putnam declared that among the
things which lessened respect for the
United States throughout the world
was "the presence in the Cabinet of a
man like w. j. Bryan, who shame
/ fully misrepresented our country in
/ his interviews with Dumba."
/ Mr.. Bryan reached the conference

should be misled." he said. "Those
who have nothing but the eastern

Says Wilson Approved Talk.
Immediately after the interview, Mr..
Bryan said he wrote out a report of
what had taken place and sent il TO the
President and received his approval Of
what he had said TO the Austrian Am
besSador.
"When ] heard that my interview was
criticised" he continued, 81 called in

and il was approved by him. The thing
misinterpreted was this: | said to
Dumba that the fact that lives were
lost in sinking ships made the contro-
versy different from the controversy
with England, which concerned only
loss of trade. That was the distinction
/ made, and it is the one that is made
very properly by every one that has
taken part in the controversy since "
Mr.. Bryan dissented emphatically
from the views expressed here by ex-
President Taft favoring the League TO
Enforce Peace.
"If we join with Europe in enforcing
peace" he said, "tnen we can hardly
refuse to let them join in enforcing
peace over here. And if | know the
American people there is no DISPOSE
tion here to abandon the Monroe Doc
trine.'
Objects to L. S. as Policeman.
His fundamental objection to the
league was expressed as follows:
when we turn from moral suasion
TO force, we step down and not up. |
don't care to have this nation a police
man"
Mr.. Bryan asserted that prepared
ness such as is generally suggested
will not prevent war, but will provoke
war. If we had been as well pre-
pared as some now ask US to be we
would in the war now shouting for

The Root Backers Not SURPRISED.
At the Root headquarters yesterday

managers said yesterday.
John W. Dwight, the Root campaign
manager, got back from the West yes
terday aglow with enthusiasm. lie said
Mr.. Root WAC highly regarded in the
West and that he did not meet Re-
publican who did not say that he was
glad Mr.. Root was candidate. In

was much regret that the ex-senator
did not allow his name to be voted
on at the primaries. lie felt sure that
the Root sentiment in that state would
find expression 1T the primaries.
after my experience in the Middle
West nobody need tell me that Mr..
Root will not be strong candidate in
that section, and the West is Republic
