was read at the opening of the May
term of the court. The trial calendar
was gone over this morning.

missioner of industries, of compensa-
tion of $500 to Katherine Kelley from
the Hoosac Lumber Co., the court held
o-day that independent contracts must
be made for a man getting more htan
81 900 salary year. Simeon J. Kelley,
while employed by the defendant com
pany, was killed, leaving wife and
one child. The case was from Ben
nington county.

HARDING WARNS
OF THE DANGER
Tendency of Government
Departments to Live
Beyond Means
SENDS A LETTER
TO HIS CABINET
The Estimates Now Before
Congress Calls for
S216,OOO,000

Washington, d. c., May 3.--Presl-
dent Harding launched drive to-day
against the dangerous tendency OF
government departments to live be-
yond the means provided for them by
Congress and submit requests for de-
ficiency appropriations to cover del
icits. In identical letters to cabinet
members, he called attention to the
fact that calls for approximately
S2I6 100000 in deficiency aPpropria'
tions are now pending, "and that the
estimated deficiencies will run very
much beyond that sum.
The presidents letter follows;
al am in receipt of letter from
Chairman Warren OF the Senate com
mittee on appropriations calling my
attention TO the fact that the esti'
mates now before the Congress call for
approximately S2l6,O00,000 of deficien
ev appropriations and that the esti.
mated deficiencies will run very much
beyond that sum. do not know OF any
more dangerous tendency in the ad
ministration of governmental depart
ments and / am sure that we can never
fix ourselves firmly on basis OF econ
omy until the departments are con
Quoted within the provisions made by
Congress.
-sI wish you would call this matter
to the attention of the various bureau
chiefs so that like situation may not
be reported in future"
In his letter TO the president. Sen
ator Warren gave the total Of deficien
cy estimates now actually before Con
gress as S2I5,s9 .2ss
There is no question, he wrote
about estimates for strictly legal de
fciencies submitted in accordance will
the provisions of the laws but not al
of these sums are of this character.
notice that some are for new work en-
tirely and have no place whatsoever il
deficiency bills.
at would seem that heads of depart
ment establishments and officers of tht
government charged with the responsi
6ility of submission OF estimates SHOULD
be held TO a strict account ability. Now
that the war is over there seems 4
be little excuse for the various depart
ments and establishments not conduct
ing their expenditures more nearly
within their appropriations"

Washington. d. c.. May 3.-An ex-
planation was looked for to-day ooth
from the state department and IN De
yelonments at the sessions of the al
lied supreme council in London OF the
action of Secretary OF Hughes in IN
forming the German government IN
communication dispatched last night
that the reparations counter proposals
did not afford sbasis for discussion
acceptable to the allied governments.
The text of the communication was
made public Just after it had been dis-
patched to Loring Dresel, the Ameri-
can high commissioner at Berlin Tor
transmission to DIR. Simons, the Ger
man foreign minister. The return OF
the proposals were entirely unexpected
because of repeated statements that
such ascourse might be decided upon.
Since the receipt of the proposals on
April 26, Secretary Hughes has been IN
frequent consultation with allied diplo-
matte representatives here. He had pre-
viously made it clear to Germany that
he would transmit the proposals 10 the
allies only if acceptable to them. In the
event they should be returned to Ger
many, il was understood the American
government would continue to work
for a settlement through discussion.
This was pointed to by some as an ex-
planation of the suggestion in last
nights communication that Germany
at once make directly TO the allied
governments, clear, definite and ade-
auate proposals which would in all re
spects meet its just obligations. :"
The decision to return the .propos-
ais. it was believed was reached indie
pendently of any direct official advices
from either the supreme council meet
ing at London or the German govern
ment.
