WARREN PROTESTS AGAINST INCREASE
 IN EXPENDITURES
Facing Situation Where Cut ting Necessary Even If It
 Causes Heartache, Says
 Appropriations Chairman
By Associated Press

Washington December 17-An incon- elusive debate on the Shepperd- -Towner bill for federal and state aid to maternity and infancy served as a vehicle today for Chairman Warren of the Senate ap- propriations committee to issue a gen. eral protest against rising government expenditures.
 We are facing a situation where WI must cut even if we cause heartache.' v Senator Warren reported. We have had our attention called to a deficit of sl, ,250 : coo existing now Treasury Secretary Houston reports that there was this year a decrease in national indebtedness, but there is something which I don't like tc bring forth, but which must be faced. This year the treasury has had the re- ceipts from immense stores of war nla- terials sold as salvage According to the last reports l have been able to secure the total received from these sales is 600 more than the reduction &C., complished in the debt.
 New, 1919 was a year of unparalleled pr osperity, and the taxes we are col lecting now are consequently the great est that could be secured. The present year, with falling prices, is showing tre- mendouS losses and when business men close up books January l and the figures show where they actually stand, they will disclose an inTn erse fall in tax col leotions. The government can't meet the situation except by stand which will cut off every new expenditure and then our treasury certificates borrowing may go to and per cent before the money can be obtained"
 Senator Sheppard, democrat Texas; France, republican, Maryland, and Pitt man, democrat, Nevada, promptly coun- tered with suggestions that the $2,50O. .00O
 involved under the bill for aid to moth CTS and infants during the present year could easily be taken from military ap- propriations. Likewise they cited federal expenditures for boil weevil eradication and hog cholera remedies Senator Shoot, republican, Utah, agreed to with draw opposition to the bill if it's sponsors would accept an amendment under which no new governmental organization would be built up to administer the aid T know the agricultural bill is a cham Der of horrors" Senator Brandegee said, in deprecating the tendency towards the federal government control which he said existed. 'I don't see how a senator who votes for an expenditure of tax money to fight the boil weevil, to treat hogs, to teach women how to make cot tage cheese and apple pies, to build roads and everything else under the sun in ways whose constitutionality is doubtful, can now oppose this bill. Its purpose is surely a higher one. though I regret that the people of the United States seem to be through with the idea of taking things either for themselves or through their local authorities. The tendency is break ing down the federal government and lay ing burden on Congress which cannot be carried
 The bill and amendments proposed was carried over until Saturday for vote after discussion became general.

TROOPS ORDERED
 ID KANSAS TOWN
To Take Charge Following Race Trouble In Which Two
 Were Killed
By Associated Prrss

Independence. Kan, December IT, Kansas national guardsmen were re-
 ported on their way to this little oil city growing out of last nights race trouble
 which resulted in the killing of two per sons and the wounding of five others. Following day of apprehension over
 the possibility of further trouble should
 an attempt be. made to lynch Noble
 6reen, negro, accused of the shooting 1 Of K. R. Wharton. white grocer, Mayor John l. Wadman said he had been prom i fsed two companies of guardsmen early 1 tomorrow
 l It was the killing of Wharton and the subsequent arrest of Breen by a posse that precipitated last nights disorders. A tense situation prevailed tonight, with the town under patrol by more than 300 home guardsmen, American Legion mem- bers and citizens, sworn in as deputy sheriffs, and all armed.
 Officials were apprehensive that after nightfall there would come an attempt to storm the jail and obtain Breen. Breen
 was positively identified today by Ralph Mitchell as the man he saw run from Wharton's store after the shooting of Wharton.
 Announcement of the identification of Breen increased the tension. It appeared late today that an out break was imminent when word came of the wounding of Oren Small. a 17-year- old white youth.
 An excited crowd gathered about the city hall, but dispersed when it was an nounced that the youth was shot acci- dentally.
 coroner's inquest was held behind closed doors to investigate the rioting last night The finding was not an. nounced.
 The funeral of Wharton was held late in the day, and this served to stir com ment from white citizens who congre- gated on every street corner. Negroes appeared on the streets dur ing the day but were not molested TWO negroes were arrested by the civilian guards and held for alleged incendary remarks. Afternoon newspapers printed an appeal from the widow of Wharton to all citizens to refrain from mob vio- lence and let the law take it's course m dealing with the slayer of her husband.
