Deficiency appropriations were the principal subject of discussion at an adjourned meeting of the city coun- ell last evening. A number of the city departments exceeded the bud get appropriations during the fiscal year ending November 30th, and up- on the recommendation of Mayor w. Raymond Crumb, it was voted by the council 10 include such un- foreSeen expenditures in last years accounts, rather than to include them in the budget for the present l2 months period.
 Figures submitted by City Clerk Thomas B. Steele indicated the fol- lowing deficiencies in the general city account: Charity department, $2,1Ol.94; fire department, s731.a1; military tax, S632.43; parks, s2.- 623.67; schools, grammar and new high school, $552.42; old high school $.,l45.O1: tree warden, $461.22.

The above. and other miscellaneous items. brought the total deficiency of the general city to $14211.61. In addi- ton 10 this the council voted last year to eXpend S34,022, for which no tax was laid 10 cover. which would bring the total amount up to slightly over $iS,000.

COAST AVIATORS

Baker Says Douglas On
Ideal Route for Trans
Continental Line.

Two yolshg men from the west flew
into Douglas late. yesterday in q trim
black and gold biplane, circled low
three times over the business dis
trict. and eased down into the fair
grounds field where they made them
selves at home. Alighting, they in
troduced themselves as Henry C.
Baker and George Faw, searching,
they said, for a city which will sup
port a commercial air service.
They plan to remain in Douglas
until Tuesday to discuss with local
business men and civic leaders the
prospects here. after which they pro-
pose to fly to El Paso to make a
similar survey.
Both men are from Santa Monica.
Calf, where they have been engaged
in commercial aviation. Baker. as
spokesman for the pair, outlined their
theories and plans, to Dispatch
reporter.
''We are looking for a community
where we will have some prospect
of success in the commercial aviation
business. Douglas and Ell Paso look
good to us because there is a good
prospect OF getting an air mail con-
tract when line is put through this

was contained in q letter received by

be made some time before October Is
which means that Mr.. Maddux should
arrive here some day next week in the

The letter received yesterday is from

San Diego is proving SO very satisfac-
tory that the officials Of the firm de-
cided that it would be unwise to take
a big passenger plane off of this run
to make their trip of inspection over
Arizona and Texas.
1t was because of this that Mr.. Mad
dux finally decided to go to Detroit
for one of the new planes and make
his visit to Douglas on the way back.
Mr.. Fox states in his letter that he
will stop here few days before the

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. Z. tP9--
George Remus, once called "The
King of BoOtleggers," today enter
ed plea of not guilty to first
degree murder charge in cOnnec-
tiOn with the shooting to death OF
his wife ImOgene and returned to
Jail reiterating he was justified in
the killing.
Arrangements for Mrs. Remus'
funeral have not been made, an
inquest will be held held Tuesday,
county officials announced.
In Mrs. Remus' hotel apart
ment her adopted daughter, Ruth,
spent her twentieth birthday,
while RomoIa Remus, daughter of
George Remus by, first marriage,
busted herself in efforts to assist
her father.
Remus gave no indication today
of plans for his defense. During
the few minutes at the hearing be-
fore Municipal Court Judge Alex
ander today he was his own coun-
sci.
Laughing checrfully, talking and
shaking hands with friends and
reporters, Remus climbed the
stairs to the court room.
He appeared to be perfectly at
ease, when his name was called.

would like to waive preliminary

Judge Alexander bound RemuS
over to the grand jury and re-
manded him TO Jail without bonds.
In the corridor Remus scOffed
at the suggestion that he was in
sane. He said the precautionary
action of Prosecutor Taft in or
ireing the mental examination
yesterday was ridiculous"
"Any one who thinks / am in
sane, needs a mental examination
himself" Remus laughed.
Remus disclosed today that the
revolver he used was one owned
by Mrs. Remus.
A statement discrediGng Remus'
charge that Mrs. Remus had TAX
en- all of his money and property
was made today by Edward Dixon,
attorney who was to have repre-
sented Mrs. Remus at the divorce
hearing.
Dixon said that Mrs. Remus was
entirely cut of money" and "had
been living on funds borrowed
from her family and friends" All
of her property was tied up in
litigation, Dixon said. and she had
been Financially embarrassed for
more than a year."
