Millions Will Be Cut From Es-
Inmates Submitted by
Departments.

The pruning knife is at work in
the Bureau OF the Budget.
Millions OF dollars. just how

the preliminary estimates OF de-
partmnts and bureaus for the 1924
fiscal year.
THE cuts are very drastic" "
General Lord declared today. We
can't have additional taxation. That
is out OF the question. There In
only one thing to do and that is
to keep expenditures within the
Treasury's estimate OF income.
when the President addressed
the business administration meeting
OF the Government early IN July
he told heads of all departments
that expenditures for 1924 must be
kept within the Treasury's esti-
mate of $3,19S, 100000 ordinary in.
come for that year.
Those responsible for preparing
estimates for the various depart
ments and bureaus were asked TO
submit preliminary statements OF
their needs by August /. When
these came in they exceeded the
Treasury's estimate of income by
many millions. The Bureau Of the
Budget thereupon prepared sched'
ule Of the maximum amount each
department and bureau could ex.
pect to keep the total within the
SO, ,198. .000.0 900. The bureau did not
undertake to tell the department
heads how that money must be ap.
portioned, but each one was given
the total limit he could go.
Final estimates in keeping with
these figures were called for to be
submitted by September Is. Each
department was told to offer any
arguments or explanations II wish.
ed to show wherein, in the opinion
Of the department heads. il must
have more than its estimate called
for for any division of it's work.
The Bureau Of the Budget wished
to approach the problem with all
the facts before 1t. II the bureau
could feel these additional requests
were justified over and above some
expenditure elsewhere the increases
would be approved in whole or in
part and a cut would be made
somewhere else to provide for
them"
Some OF these final estimates
already have como in and all will
be in hand this week. Ten inves.
tigators OF the Bureau of the
Budget have been assigned to make
a critical inquiry into the needs of

WE'D SECRETLY,
SUED BY BRIDE
Charges William S. Fitzgerald,
of Cleveland, Failed to
Provide for Her.

. CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. IL
Suit for divorce, alleging gross
neglect of duty" and asking perma.
nent alimony and custody OF their
two-year son. was filed two
months ago in insolvency court here,
II became known today, by Mrs. Mar.
garet Chiffon Fitzgerald. of the Hotel
Rector, New York, against William
s. Fitzgerald, who retired last Janu'
ary as mayor of Cleveland.
Publication Of the divorce petition
was the first authentic news that a
son had been born to the union.
which had been solemnized secretly
in New York.
During the last mayoralty cam
paign, in which Fitzgerald was de-
feated by Mayor Fred Kohler, he one
day called newspapermen to his
office and announced that he had
been secretly married for some time.
Shortly afterward he made a trip
East, and upon his return was ac-
by Mrs. Fitzgerald. with
whom he lived until after the cleo
tion at a suite in the Hotel Cleve-
land.
Shortly after his defeat for re.
election, Mrs. Fitzgerald returned TO
New York, and the former mayor
went to live with his mother at the
Hotel Amsterdam.
Mrs. Fitzgerald declares in her
petition that her husband has re.
duced her allowance to such a sum
that 1t is barely sufficient to provide
necessaries for their son.
I'm an answer and cross petition,
the former mayor declares that he
has always acted "as a true and faith.
full husband" and in his turn
charges gross neglect against his
wife.
Mrs Fitzgerald is a grandniece OF
a former Senator John II. Chiffon. OF
Texas, and was in New York com.
pleting a musical education when the
romance between the two budded Und
blossomed.
Ex.Mayor Fitzgerald, until his
secret marriage was revealed, was
often pointed out as the confirmed
bachelor" among Cleveland office
holders.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
THE sULoRAvE INSTITUTION
# The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The Sulgrave institution, sponsored by sensible Englishmen and Americans to promote friendship between United States and Great Britain, Is just about the best and most logical effort that has been started in the interests of universal peace since the World war. United States and Great Britain, the two greatest countries in the world, are the foundation and the chief hope of modern civilization, and in any movement toward worldwide peace and the abolition of war, it is absolutely necessary that these two countries be in absolute harmony, and perfect accord.
 Someone has said, "There will be war as long as the field of battle is the field of glory" This seems to have held good so far, but as for the future.
 Times change but human nature remains much the same. Even in the event of future wars it is essential to the welfare of the world that United States and England be friendly in order to stabilize civilization. Amercian citizens and the press should sup port the Sulgrave institution and encourage friendship between the Americans and the Eng fish because the time may come when it will be necessary for Anglo-Saxons to stick to- gether. Sincerely,
 THOMAS MADISON PARSONS.

WRANGLE WITH TRACTION COM
 PANY SHOULD BE ADJUSTED

The sparring contest going on at the city hall between public officials and one of the utility companies is striking argument against the proposal to relieve the state util- ities commission of all authority in such mat ters and throw them back into local politics. An impartial committee representing the real estate board, body especially well fitted to speak for the public in general, has expressed doubt of the real desire of either side to the controversy to settle. Their contention Is mind it will be impossible ever to get them together and Birmingham must stagger along with unregulated jitneys, uncertain electric, gas and car fare rates, unpaved streets, sub urbs isolated from gas and electric mains, in- adequately lighted streets, and other things which have hindered the development of the city for so many months.
 The Age-Herald hesitates to offer advice to either side as to what should be done, because it is so eager for these questions to be settled. and is unwilling to do anything that might prove a handicap in reaching a speedy con- clusion. The real estate men, however, repre- senting practically every kind and class of property owner in the city, have made the offer to try to get the contestants together on six months trial rate schedule. It seems absurd that two parties to a controversy can not agree on such status quo as will offer fair trial of revised schedules. Of course, the city authorities vocferate that they work ing for the people and intend to do only what 2 is best for them, while the utility company contends that in its present situation it can do nothing which will lower it's revenue. But, as matter of fact neither side is doing what is best for the people, because the peoples 5 interest demands settlement and adjust ment of differences, even if such adjustment is for a period of only six months.
 There is too much of a feeling on both sides that the other fellow is trying to "put something over on him. instead of getting right down to brass tacks and relieving the people of this city of the constant annoyances and actual monetary losses being incurred under the present conditions.

CITY CONTROL FAVORED

"The Birmingham Civic association, through it's board of directors, is on record as favor ing the return of the control of local public utilities to local municipal management, on a proper basis said J. M. Dewberry, secre- tary of the Civic association, land it is to be regretted that there is difference of opinion on this subject between the Civic association and the Junior Chamber of Commerce, whose board of directors has recently passed reso- lution opposing this movement. Many peo- pie are members of both of these organiza- tions, and there is liable to be some confusion. It is to be noted, however, that the Civic as- socation fayors the move 'on proper basis, which means that it's committee, composed of Judge W. E. Fort, chairman; Forney John ston, G. R. Harsh, John c. Henley and B. H. Hartsfield, who are at work a proper measure, will, if possible, write bill for the consideration of the coming Legislature that will be at least safe, if not entirely satisfac- tory, to both the public and to the public uti- ities."

TRUST IN GOD

If there is one thing that should charac- terize the Christian man, that thing is con- fidence. see all around me men of faith with half-hearted belief that is failing, and the world in process of rejecting the things they hold to be true. They believe in the Christian religion, and witness the seeming weakness of the church and it's half-hearted missionary endeavor They believe that all men are brethren, and see the utter lac6 of the spirit of brotherhood which marks in so large measure the dealings of man with man. They believe in love- and see the outward life of the world betraying the inward spirit of hate. It is concession to say that these are men of faith. They are merely men of belief. Faith, at its height does not recognize the possibility of failure Faith sees as a future actuality the thing in which it believes. Faith is belief plus confidence in that beliefs triumphant end ing.
 It seems to me that such q confident faith
 is the only possible outcome of proper belief in God. We have not done God jus- tice when we think of Him as good, and loving and true. He Is all of these, but He is more. He is patient enough to bear with the weaknesses of men until that weakness has passed away, and wise enough to bring great good out of seemingly unalloyed evil. and strong enough to overrule the mad pas sions of men to His glory and the building of His kingdom. Given a good God, who means well for the world, and wise and powerful God who can fulfill his good in- | tention, and you have world in which | good must ultimately triumph; from which | wrong must inevitably pass away. Either | this is true or else God Is less than we be- | lieve, and God cannot be less than the high | est reaches of our faith, for our faith springs l from Him, and the stream cannot rise higher | than it's source.
 If all of this is true, how do we account | for the failures noted above which give suca trouble to the anxious believer? We'll, how do you account for the crucifixion of Christ? We have not fully accounted for it yet. but do know this, that from that seein- ingly darkest failure, good beyond measure has come. There was no visible good in it to those who stood beneath the cross and wept and watched. There is no visible good in the tragedies which mark the life of the world today, but God is above them, and behind them and beyond them, and God is working upon them as He has upon every tragedy and failure the world has ever known.
 For my own part, seeming ebbs in the tide of advancing righteousness do not greatly worry me. I believe in God, and that belief carries with 1t the sure confi- dence that whether I can see it or not, God doeth all things well.
 MIDDLETON s. FAREWELL.
