Destroyed or Removed-Only
Hulls Left in Good Shape.

GENEVA, January 16 (by the Asso-
ciated Press) Austrian war vessels,
which under the terms Of the peace
treaty must be handed over to the
allies, have undergone second "Scapa
Flow" but on smaller scale, accord
ing to a telegram received here from
Turin by way of Lugano.
The dispatch states that the allied
naval commission which arrived re-
Gently at Cattaro confirms first re-
ports that the Austrian feet had been
seriously disabled.
The Austrians were said to have de-
stroyed or removed the principal parts
of the machinery of the ships, render
ing them incapable of navigation, only
the hulls remaining in good condition.
Repairs. it is said, will require several
months before the vessels can be made
ready for the sea.
The fleet includes one battleship,
three large cruisers, four torpedo
cruisers, twelve torpedo boats and
some smaller craft.
The Austrians are declared to have
acknowledged the damage, but to
have blamed the Czechoslovaks and
the Jugoslavs. The ships eventually
will be towed to Toulon and Marseille
for repairs.

CRISIS IN MINISTRY
OF SPAIN IMPENDING

MADRID. January II (by the As
sociated Press).-All the newspapers
this morning discussed the possibility
of a cabinet crisis because of the
attitude of the Maurist party and Of
the party of Count RomanoneS toward
the cabinet. Both these parties have
representatives in the government.
The premier and the ministers of the
interior and public works are known
to be dissatisfied owing to lack of
support of their parties. These min
listers, when interviewed, did not deny
the possibility of a crisis in the min
istry.
The senate last night approved a
bill calling for the compulsory syn
dication of industries. trades and pro-
fessions, affecting both employees and
employers. The measure has been sent
to the chamber of deputies, where it
is expected to arouse much opposi-
ton on the part of the socialists, who
say that the measure establishes too
many obligations upon the workers
and placed the syndicates in the
hands of the government, which could
dissolve them at any time.

COUNCIL APPROVES
BUDGET FOR 1921
Tax to Raise $27,615 for City
Expenses in 1921-Five
Thousand for Fire
Equipment

Pullman's municipal tax levy will
be 81 mills. The entire budget of
estimated expenses for the city of
Pullman for the year 1921 was APP
proved by the city council in session
Wednesday evening and the 27-mill
levy will be necessary to raise the
$27,615 which will be required, over
and above receipts from other
sources, to conduct the city affairs
during the 12-month period. No
objections were raised by citizens to
any of the items in the proposed
budget and the council approved the
budget as a whole. The approval by
the city dads means that next year
$1,000 will be available for the pur-
chase of more adequate fire fighting
equipment, as well as $4,000 for a
new septic tank, $500 for cemetery
purposes and like sum for the i'm
provement of the city parks. The
budget includes $3.50 for salaries,
$3992 for lights, $500 for street
work, and some $4,000 for miscel-
laneous expenses, which include the
items for fire equipment, septic tank,
cemetery and parks and other lesser
items.
The total estimated expenses of
the city for the year 1921 are placed
at $29,255, with estimated receipts
from various sources other than
taxation of $1640, leaving $27615
to raise by direct taxation.
The hearing on the proposed bud
get was first set for Monday evening,
but with three councilmen out of the
city and another on the sick list
quorum was an impossibility. The
meeting was postponed until Tues
day evening, when the same condi-
ton prevailed and a further post
ponement was taken to Wednesday
evening. After pulling one city dad
away from a card party a sufficient
number of councilmen were rounded
together Wednesday evening to act
on the budget and it's approval was
the work of but few moments.

University has slightly lower cost,
showing an average of $266.52.
The figures show that while there
has been a huge increase in the num-

tions of higher education, the cost a
student is being held down despite
the increased cost of living and rap
idly growing overhead at each col

Of a survey presented by DR.. Henry

of Washington They show that al
though there were more students en-
rolled in the institutions for 1919
and 1920, nevertheless the cost stu
dent was kept down more than in
former years.
In 1919-I920 there were 5086 stu
dents at the University and it cost
$191.42 a student, while in 1913
1919 there were 3025 students and
the cost a student for the year was

The University has an enrolment
for 1919-1920 which exceeds the total
enrolment of the State College at

SENSATIONAL DECLINE
IN GRAIN MARKETS
Thirty-Cent Reduction in Four Days
Brings Wheat to Lowest Ebb for
Three Years
Thursdays Local Quotations

With local grain quotations at the
lowest ebb for the past three years
the Pullman markets are at a stand
still, with the farmers steadfastly
refusing to sell at the present quota
tions. Less than 35 per cent of the
1920 crops has been sold, according
to estimates of local grain buyers.
and very small fraction of that has
been sold since the decline COM
menced. The drop of over 80 cents
from Friday of last week to Monday
of this week furnished one of the
greatest sensations in the history of
the local wheat markets. Farmers
deluged the grain offices with in
quiries, but only few lots were
sold. One retired farmer, whose
place is leased, stated that unless his
tenant could secure more than $1,000
for his wheat he would buy it himself
and hold it for better market. Bar
ley and oats have been more steady
than wheat, the latter however,
dropping slightly to meet the import
of Eastern bulk oats, which are laid
down at Coast at $45 the ton.
These oats are inferior to local oats,
but tended to cause a decline in the
market.
Figures frcm the Chicago wheat
markets on file at the Pullman State
bank show that from September "a
until the lowest mark was reached
on Tuesday of this week, December
futures showed a decline of 35 cents
the bushel, with a recovery of nine
and three-quarters cents on Wednes-
day of this week The decline in the
Chicago market was more or less
steady during the entire Today per-
iod, the recovery of Wednesday be-
ing greater than any single days de-
cline except the overSunday period

tations on December wheat in the

lows:
