history books have told her she must
not overlook. There is no sweetness
to her character sugar tossed in
to make the romance cater to the
public taste. She loves Essex, DULLES
Essex, kills Essex, all more or less
IL the same breath. At all times
she is conscious that she is the
daughter of a King-even though, as
she says rather wistfully, she wasn't
sure from day to day Just who her
mother might be. And she builds
the role into such heights that last
night it seemed as If the audience
couldn't have too much of her. that
If she had wanted it would have sat
right there and watched her do the
third act all over again.
Nor is Alfred Lunt much lesser
than the Queen. and, save that his
role is briefer, his actions more nat
ural, with less perhaps of carica-
ture to them, his Essex Is all that
it could be.
History. no doubt, may smile a
little at what Author Anderson has
done to it. The possibility of Essex
bobbing up from a trap door almost
under the feet of his Queen just be-
fore execution seems a trif1e far
fetched, as are one or two of the
other details. But since one is at

the Guild has put on its most splen-
did coat, polished it with an immac-

OUT IN FRONT
Uses Same Tactics Which

Nominations.

By Uatted Press
WASHINGTON, July 2.-TacticS
which brought presidential nomina-
tons to Herbert Hoover and Alfred
E. Smith in 1923 are being followed
in one major respect by Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York.
a top-rank Democratic possibility.
That is the attempt to stake out
claims for delegates early and so
extensively as to forecloSe opponents
before they are well started.
Roosevelt is saying nothing about
the presidency. On the contrary he
is busy attending to his duties as
Governor except for the time taken
in making speeches, which seem to
be more numerous than those Of
Smith in a corresponding situation
four years ago.
Roosevelt's presidential depart
ment is in charge of James A. Far
ley, chairman of the New York
state Democratic committee. Farley
is now on his way to the Pacific
coast, to attend the Elks convention
in the same sense that Treasury
Secretary Mellon went to Europe
to see his son get a college degree.
Farley will talk lot to people
who aren't brother Elks. And if he
is half as good as they say he is,
he will bring back options on a
good string Of Pacific coast conven-
ton votes.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Oficia'
figures showed clearly today how
deeply hard times Of the past twelve
months bit into federal finances
They revealed how completely
treasury estimates of a year ago hac
been upset, and made the govern
ment's balance sheet lopsided with
record deficit.
Final totals for the fiscal year
just ended, made public by Acting
Treasury Secretary Ogden Mills
placed the deficit at $903, 00o, 900
which was well within President
Hoover's estimate of about six
weeks ago but greater by hundreds
of millions than Secretary Melons
guess late last year.
They showed the public debt had
been increased more than $500, 900,
900 In II months, that income tax
payments and customs receipts had
received terrific wallops from the
economic depression, and that ex-
penditures had gone up.
Total ordinary receipts in 1881
we're $3,317,0o0,000 as compared
with $4,17S,0O0,000 in 1890.
Expenditures chargeable against
ordinary receipts in 1881 were

1894, 100000 the year previous, SC

Mills said, that made ordinary re-
ceipts drop 1851 100000 in the year.
Hard times affected the two chief
sources Of federal revenue-income
taxes and customs receipts.
While receipts were declining, ex-
penditures were going UP, chiefly
because agricultural aid and relief,
payment Of additional benefits to
war veterans, and the enlarged
United States public works pro-

ment, amounted to $463, 100000.
CORPORATE income taxes showed a
decline Of about $226, 100000, and
individual income tax collections
were $330,ooo, 900 less than in the
fiscal year 1880.
Enumerating the increased ex'
penditures, Mills pointed to:
War department, which spent
$25,000,000 for river and harbol
work, army housing and increased
outlay for the air corps;
Agriculture department, which
spent $119, 100000 for federal high
way construction and emergency
relief in the drought states.
Federal farm board, which made
additional loans of $41, 100000;
Commerce department, whose in
crease in expenditures totaled
100000.
Postoffice department, where the
postal deficiency increased $54,-
100000; and
Veterans bureau, which increased
its expenditures $112,000,000 to pay
off soldier bonus loans.
On the other side of the ledger
was the navy department, where
$20,000,000 was saved due to reduc-
ton in ornaments; and the treasury
department, which accounted for q
decrease of $48,00o,00o in interest
paid on the public debt, and a re-
duction in tax refunds of $64 1000, 900

regard Roosevelt as ahead Of the
field in the Democratic race.
Whether 1t Is a help to be so far
out in front now or not, the fact
remains that Hoover and Smith
we're nominated four years ago
largely because they got so far out
front that no one could catch them.
They afford interesting parallels to

they did, a leader against the field.

Kite Flying Hazards Explained.

Kite flying season is approaching
with the warmer days of spring, Of
ficials of Mountain States Power Com
pany are cooperating with local safety
organizations in an effort to prevent
serious accidents which occasionally
happen as the result of kite flying.
c. M. Brewer, vice president and
general manager of the company, to-
day declared 1T is not our desire to
unduly alarm children nor their par
ents over the dangers of kite flying
However, it is our civic duty and our
desire to cooperate always in every
possible manner to assist in the pre-
vention of accidents. 1t is for this rea-
son that we respectfully call to the
attention of parents that it is dangerous
for kites to be flown near electric or
telephone lines and especially SO when
