Mrs. De Saulles Will
Fight to Keep Son
Opposes Uncle as Guardian
Willing to Let Mrs. Hecksher
Have Him Temporarily

Mrs. Blanca Errazuriz de Saulles, in
Jail at Mineola awaiting trial for the
killing of her husband, John Longer de
Saulles, will fight for the custody OF
her four-year son, Jack. Her at
torney, Henry A. Uterhart, opposed
yesterday the application Of the boys
uncle, Charles A. H. de Saulles, to be
appointed guardian.
The hearing, held before Surrogate
Fowler, developed that Mrs. de Saulles
had not seen her son since August %.
Mr.. Uterhart insisted that when the
date Of Mrs. de Saulles's trial arrived
he would not oppose the appointment
Of Mrs. G.. Maurice Hecksher, wife OF
cousin of the boys father, as tenn
porary guardian.
The fact that Mrs. de Saulles has not
seen her boy for almost three weeks IS
due to her refusal TO accede to the de-
mands of the de Saulles family that
she made written application each time
she desired to have the lad with her.
Jack is said to have acquired house
and nine acres In Nassau County since
the shooting Of his father. This was
offered as q reason why a guardian
should be appointed.

Biggest Deficiency Appro-
priation Is Adopted
Unanimously
ProvidesArmySupplies
Measure Includes Funds for
Equipping 1000, 900 SOL
diers and Sailors

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s.-The largest
deficiency appropriation bill in the his
tory Of the government was passed by
the House to-day without dissenting
vote and without rollcall.
The bill carries total appropriations
and contract authorizations Of S7,144,-
100000. Direct appropriations amount
to $3.50 100000, while contract author
iEations total 100000. The meas
ure 10 made up almost entirely Of war
appropriations. and is intended TO sup
ply, equip and provide artillery and mu-
nitions for total Of nearly two mill
ion soldiers and sailors.
No change was made in the bill from
the form in which 1t originally was in
troduced, although several belated APP
propriations were accepted after II
reached the floor Of the House. One
item that provided 100000 to pur-
chase Kent Island, in Chesapeake Bay,
for an ordnance proving GROUND was
stricken out on point Of order.
The Senate Appropriations Commit
tee will give immediate consideration
to the bill to have It ready for action
after passage Of the soldiers insurance
ELL. The measure probably will be the
last passed by the Senate before ad-
journment.
Before the hill was passed in the
House Representative SABBATH. Demo-
crat, after failing TO inject into it a
number Of horizontal salary increases
for government clerks, seized the occa.
sion to deliver an attack on the food
administration.
az have not noticed that prices have
been materially reduced to the con-
sumer by the action of the food ad-
ministration," Mr.. SABBATH said. THE
wheat price is q whole lot higher than
il ought TO be, and the price which
they fixed on potatoes. sl.5O a bushel
certainly Is FAR too high"

Henry Parish Dies
In Long Branch
Former President Of New
York Life and Trust Co.
Was SO Years Old

LONG BRANCH, N. j., Sept. IS
Henry Parish, who was president OF
the New York Life and Trust Com
psny, az SO Wall Street, for forty-four
years, died at his summer home, Lin
coin Avenue, to-day. Mr.. Parish was
lightweight years old. He retired from
active business q little over two years
ago.
Mr.. Parish became president Of the
New York Life and Trust Company IN
1871. At that time its deposits amount
ed to $4,000, 900. When he retired from
the presidency they had increased more
than six times that amount.
Mr.. Parish was one Of the most con
ssryative bankers in the city. This
conservatism extended beyond the aetu-
al realms Of banking TO tho extent that
he would never permit telephone 70
be installed In the Offices nor would
ne hermit the use of typewriters except
they were located so that he could NOT
hear them. -
Upon his retirement from active
banking duties, in 1915, Mr.. Parish IN
sisted that ne be allowed TO retain
some connection with the institution,
and he was made chairman OF the board
of directors, an honorary position
Funeral announcement will be made
later.
Mr.. Parish is survived BY four sons!

Edward c. Parish, and three daughters

land H. Dodge and Mrs. Daniel r

on many important disputes. The con-
terrees decided TO adopt zone system
Tor increasing second-class mail rates,
discussed the war profits and income
tax sections at length, and tomorrow
expect TO begin decisive voting.
The usual scenes attending i'm
portant tax legislation are being re-
enacted, with eleventh-hour represcn-
tations Of interests involved, many
agents Of business interests in ante
rooms, conferrces buttonholed in CORR
doris and consulted in their Offices and
many long distance telephone calls.
The question of publications. postage
rates, tentatively settled to-day, was
one of the most troublesome Of the
conference. Details are still open to
anal determination. A compromise in
cooperating provisions OF the House
zone plan, the Mcclellan amendment
and Senator Hardwick's system of in
creased rates on advertising portions
is being worked out.
Compromise Being Drafted
Postmaster General Burleson ap-
peared before the committee to-day in
behalf of the special advertising in
crease plan, and Secretary McAdoo's in
fuence was thrown for the Mcclellan
plan and generally against drastic rate
increases, An increase Of quarter
OF cent n pound until 1918 and one
cent thereafter, with n zone system of
special increases on advertising por-
tons Of publications, were said to be
features Of the compromise being
drafted.

rush Of business lately. Thousands OF
persons who left the city during the
summer to spend their vacations in the
country are returning to town In few
days,
THE government business Of the
past few weeks has broken all records.
Thousands OF troops ars moving back
and forth, and we have been called
upon to handle enormous amounts OF
baggage for officers and enlisted men.
Enlistment Depletes Men
"The draft and army enlistments
have hit US hard. We have lost a great
many OF our best men. There 10 a
great shortage OF labor, and the labor
we arc getting is Of inferior quality"
Dropping the local express business
has hit the city q serious blow. Hun
dreds, IL not thousands, Of specially
shops and small tradesmen, heretofore
depending entirely on the big express
companies for their deliveries, will
henceforth have to find other means OF
transportation or lose the bulk OF their
trade. Among these shops are many Sc
lect Fifth Avenue establishments that
have never delivered their goods except
through the express companies. When
the retrenchment order was issued their
late patrons, the small shopkeepers,
raided the automobile markets for spe-
cial delivery cars and secondhand
autos.
Officials Of all the interstate express
companies agree that they have handled
Of late more heavy packages than ever
before. There has been an abnormal
demand for rapid transportation of ar
ticlcs, usually sent by freight. A great
percentage OF this is war equipment.
saddles and harness for cavalry and
artillery horses. A great number Of
baggage cars have been commandeered
by the government for the personal be-
longings Of soldiers.
Perishables Take Many Cars
During the past three or four weeks
the government has given the railroads
rigid orders to have a certain number
of baggage cars in readiness for
troops. All other business was held
up when Uncle Sam issued orders for
his soldiers.
Perishables or near perishable food
stuffs had to be rushed to the camps,
and this has put strain on the rail-
road equipment throughout the coun-
try, further restricting the service.
The congestion Is not confined en-
tirely TO the big express companies en-
gagged in interstate business. The two
principal local companies. the West
colt Express Company and the New
York Transfer Company, with head
quarters in the Grand Central and the
Pennsylvania stations, respectively,
are in practically the same condition.
Their storerooms in the two big rail-
road terminals Of Manhattan are
jammed with baggage and their
branch Offices throughout the boroughs
of New York are filled. The Jewish
holidays have helped materially to add
TO the congestion.
All the express companies of the
country have been peculiarly hard hit
by the draft and enlistments, accord
ing to Frank NARROW, agent OF the
Westcott Company.
