ed Of cases that had been heard in

sentences had not been passed. Most
of the cases disposed of were OF the
disorderly "gun-toting" class and had
to do with the recent race riot.
Charles Holmes and Robert Cole,
charged with carrying concealed wea-

Jesse F. Hall, who pleaded guilty
to carrying concealed weapons four

sentenced to serve thirty days in jail
on that charge.
Thomas Chick, chauffeur, who
| pleaded guilty of carrying gun, was
given thirty days in Jail, his sentence

John F. Johnson, charged with the
same offense, drew like sentence
Charies Johnson. a pharmacist, and
Wendall Johnson, charged with car

of paying a fine.
Raymond Jackson another gun toter
drew a 360-day sentence straight

There are nine race-riot. gun cases
on the docket in which trials by juries

the judge.

FRENCH FINANCES
PRESENT PROBLEMS
Billion : Dollar Before War
Budget Estimated at Nine
Billions for 1919.

BY Gable to The Star and Chicago
Daily News. Copyright, 1919.
PARIS. July 2s.-From a study Of
present deplorahle financial situa-
ton seems to be as follows:
The budget before the war was
81, 600, o0o, 900. The budget for the
years Immediately following the war
will probably cali for a minimum
normal expense of $780, 100000; adj
vances and interest on reconstruction
loans. 6soO.oo0.0O0: pensions. $780,
9o0, 600; interest on the floating and
consolidated national debt OF $4,000
900. 600, and $4,000. 100000. making the
total budget $1,000. 900. 900.
1919 Budget Far Exceeds.
The 1919 budget. owing to many
figure. The minister Of finance esti-
mates it at $4,000, 0o0, 900. but tho chair
man Of the senate finance COMMITTEES
believes that with increased salaries to
government employees and special re-
victualment expenses It will reach So
The minister of fnance says that by
dint of borrowing $1,000, oo0. 900 from
the Bank OF France during the first
semester of this year $4,000. 900
has been erased. He expects to OBJ
tain the remaining s4,00o,00o.0a to
make the total Of $9,o00,990.000 for
the whole year by the receipt of
81, 000 000, 900 in taxes, by borrow
ing another 100000. 0l,0. from the
Bank Of France. and by the sale Of.
some 50. 400, 00Q. 900 OF national defense'
bonds, which are being purchased now
at the rate of about S400.000.000 q
month by the people Of France.
The chairman of the finance COM
mittee believes that this years bud
get can only be met by q loan. He
estimates the resources thus: 81, $780,
o00, 900 taxes; $4o0. 100000 special
bond issue; $500, 200, 900 national de-
Tense bonds: $400,0ot,000 treasury
bonds; $780, 100000 advanced by the
Bank Of France, a total Of $780,
000.0 But he adds that from this
must be deducted s1,6o0.00o, 900 which
were still due on the 1918 budget.
Moreover. he revealed to the senate
that condition on which the Bank Of
France agreed to last advance $780,
100000 was that the government
should Immediately repay the bank
from the next loan. He accordingly
considers that $1,000 100000 will have
to be borrowed merely to meet the
current expenses.

The Catholic royaiist senator, Del

ously asserting that the cause OF
Frances financial tangle was the re-
moval of the old motto, God protect

that while the governments deficit

the present deficit is 100000 900,

Fidget and Weechi.

Copyright, 1913. by 7. W. Bursess.)

Peter Rabbit had left the low swampy
place where grew the Undiscovered
trees, and on high ground was soon
among lot Of young hemlock trees.
These had no moss on them. From one
of them little black and gray bird with
yellow cap. yellow sides and yellow
patch at the root Of his tail, fitted
across in front of Peter. 1t was Fidget
t me Myrtle Warbler. one OF the two
among the moss-covered trees.
"Oh, Fidget!". cried. Peter, hurrying
after the restless little bird. 'Oh, Fid-
get, I've been looking everywhere for
YOU"
We'll. here am retorted Fidget.
IF you had looked here before you
would have found me before. What
can do for you?" All the time Fidget
was hopping and flittering about, never
still an instant: 60
You can tell me where your nest
is" replied Peter promptly.
II can but won't" retorted Fidget.
Now honestly. Peter. do you think
you have any right to ask such a
question: s~-,.
Peter hung his head, then replied
quite honestly: mo. T don't. Fidget.
But you see Sprite the Pareula Warb-
Ter told me you had nest not far
away, and I've been looking at punches
Of moss until I've got a lame neck"
Punches of moss!" exclaimed Ffd-
get. what under the sun do you think
I have to do with punches of moss?
"Why-why-why- just thought
you probably had your nest in one the
same as your cousin Sprite.'
Fidget laughed right cut. "Moss may
suit my cousin Sprite, but it doesn't suit
me at ALL" said he 81 build my nest Of
twigs and grass and weed stalks and
hair and rootlets and feathers, and il you
really want to know, like little hem
lock tree to put it in, just like my cousin
Weechi. By the way, have you seen him
this spring."
mo" replied Peter. 'Is he anywhere
around here?"
Right here" replied another voice,
and Weechi the Magnolia Warbler,
dropped down on the ground for just a
second right in front of Peter.
The top of his head and the back of
his neck were gray. Above each eye
was a white stripe. and his cheeks were
black. His throat was clear yellow with
a black band just below. From this
black streaks ran down across his yell
low breast. AT the root of his tail he
