First SGT. Eugene d. Calhoun, Com

He holds six honorable discharges.
Wednesday noon the entire COM
pany assembled with Capt. @. L. Nj.
Kain, commander, and presented thu
newly commissioned lieutenant with
q belt and saber. The presentation
was made in the company mess hall.
Caution may hereafter become an
asset Of Attorney Lorrin Andrews
caution as to how he phrases hts ques-
tons and az to how near he ap.
preached husky witness. All this
because Of the shaking the attorney
got In the police court on last Thurs
day.
Andrews was cross-examining big,
sturdy native son Of Hawaii who was
the defendant in an assault case. Per
s!stently the witness declared that
he had not struck the plaintiff. '1
only shook him, he kept replying to
questions as to whether he had not
hit the plaintiff several times.
Then ia belllgerent attitude, At.
toTney Andrews walked up close to
the witness and demanded: How
did you shake him ?" Before the
court officials could interfere the wit.
ness had Erasped the attorney by his
coet and was shaking him like q
puppy with new play thing.
Naturally, the court proceedings
were stopped for q moment by the
touBhtcE "a tue SpeCIaIOrS. buL An
drews had the last laugh few mo-
ments later when the witness con
yicted himself by admitting that the
only reason he had not hit the plain
tiff was because he had mo chance"
J Capt. VIII Wayne, assistant to the
adjutant general, Hawaiian National
Guard, has had to adopt the wearing Of
puttees and q regulation uniform
since leaving the chair of private
secretary to the governor.
Wayne went downtown the other
day with pair of new shoes, and
gave orders at shoe store to have
rubber heels put on and the hooks
taken off. Wayne got the shoes lasi
night. =
They had fixed the heels all right,
he said today. And they had also
taken off the hooks. The thing that
bothered me was that they hadn't put
anything in place of the latter. There
was nary place to put the shoe laces
as the hooks had been taken out slick
and clean, and no new holes had been
bored ! s
WAYNE pondered over the shoes 4

DEMOCRATS SEE
GREATER DEFICIT
Senate Committee Wants More Means
Provided-Would Raise Bond Is
sue Greatly

WASHINGTON, Feb. ia treas
airy deficit of 1888, 400 900 at the end
Of the next fiscal year is forecast in q
report submitted yesterday BY the sen
ate finance committee, recommending
that the administration revenue bill
be amended 70 authorize a bond issue Of
Sl95, 256, 900 instead Of 100000. 900 and
that the authorization Of the certificates
of indebtedness be made $500. 000 900
instead OF 100000, 600.
The recommendation for increases is
based ON revised treasury estimates
submitted to congress since the bill
passed the house, placing the federal
government S expenditures for the ifs
cal year 1918 at 81 100000, 900. The
committee estimates that to meet this
total and provide a working balance,
the amount which must be raised on
, bonds and new revenue legislation is
S433, 400, 000 This. the committee pro-
poses TO raise as follows:
BY Bond Issues--For expenditures
ON account OF Mexitan situation to
June 20, 1917, 1852, 41s, 900; for con
struetion Of Alaskan Railway to June
80, 1918, $2l .S3s 600: for construction
Of armor plate plant, $ll 100000, TAX
ing bond issue Of 1896, 256,000
BY New Taxation-An excess profits
tax, S226000,000; inheritance tax in
/ creasos, $22. 100000, making total Of
S24S 100000 and grand total from new
/ taxes and bonds Of $+43, $50 600, or
S9,S56,000 in excess Of absolute needs.
In its report the committee explained
that the proposed authorization to is
sue short-term certificates of indebted
ness up t. S500.0O0000 is for the pur-
pose Of tidIng the treasury over until
the new taxes come in large por-
ton Of the total revenues Of the gov
eminent now is payable during the last
month of the fiscal year, and probably
more than S500,000,000 of the revenue
would. III the oninion Of the committee
be collected during June, 1918.
The income tax, the munitions man
nfacturers tax, and the excess profits
tax all are due and payable in June Of
each year, the report says. This
IS practically as much as viii be col
lected during the entire preceding
eleven months. That is, while the dis
hnrsements for 1916 may be less thar
the receipts for that year, still at Ger
tain periods prior to June the treasury
may need these certificates Of indebted
ness to tide it over. >
The bin probably viii be brought
up III the senate Friday.

RUTLAND, Feb. 15.-AS the result
of q number of new cases of scarlet
fever in the present epidemic, the
board of health yesterday issued an
order, which was put into effect imme-
diately by the police department, clos
ing every church, theater, dance hall.

ing participated in by % persons or
more in addition to the schools which
were closed Tuesday. Up TO q late
hour last night 1913 cases had been re-
ported to Health Officer f. H. Geb-
hardt. who stated that there were
more than 100 eases of suspicious sore
threats which are being watched care
fully.
The order which was issued shortly
after o'clock caused somewhat of a
turmoil among thu theater managers
and others who had planned events for
this week. A big dance at Trinity
parish house was postponed as were all
other dances and meetings of many
fraternal societies. The evangelistic
services in the Methodist church were
stopped by the order.
Many persons have believed in the
old theory that the fever is most easily
tIansmissible when the patient IS
peeIing but this is not the modern
balief. 1t is now claimed that coming
in contact with person developing
the malady, provided the throat is in
fccted and also the breath, the disease
is easily transmitted from one person
tc another and that this is what caused
! the closing Of the public places o.
such short notice.
The health board has had cards
printed on red board which warn al

There has been much discussion as L

THOUSANDS OF
CARS ON SIDINGS
Freight Congestion Becomes a Serious
Problem-.Supply of Grain in
East Running Low

NEW YORK, Feb. Is. - One Of the
most serious tie-ups in the history of
the country prevails today on all rail
roads normally carrying foodstuffs and
other commodities between the East and
West.
Railroad men characterized the situa-
ton as extremely critical. Thousands
of freight cars are held on sidings,
some Of them loaded, but their move
mcnt is practically impossible owing to
the congestion on the Atlantic seaboard
brought about by the German sub
marine order.
With the number Of ships leaving
New York for Europe reduced, follow
ing announcement Of the submarine
blockade, freight has kept piling in
from the West during the past week
Munitions, automobiles, foodstuffs
supplies Of every kind are piled high on
New York docks. Acres Of freight ears
stand in yards waiting to be unloaded
+ but with slight chance of their contents
being removed because of lack Of bot

The Delaware & Lackawana railroad
announce an embargo on all wheat ives

open to that section. The Pennsylvani;

burg for several weeks. At the offices o

dication of the ban being lifted
Railroads west Of Pittsburg and Buf
falo, unable TO get shipments east, ow
ing to lack of cars, have put ban
upon accepting west bound goods. Thi
