YOUNG PUTS FOOT
ON NOMINATION
Old Friend Told in Letter
Answer Must Be Consid-
cred as Final.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LITTLE FALLS, N. Y, May 16.-
Owen D. Young has definitely and
finally declared that he could not ac-
cept the Democratic nomination for the
presidency.
His statement was contained today
in letter to John Crowley, publisher
Of the Little Falls Times, an old friend
of the industrialist and whose paper is
the home town" paper of Van Hornes-
vile. Mr.. Young's boyhood home.
On April % Mr.. Crowley, in his news
paper, made plea for the nomination
Of Mr.. Young by the Democratic Ma
tional Convention. The text of Mr..
Youngs reply follows:
My dear John Crowley:
Because you are my personal friend
and because your paper circulates in my
home community your suggestion of my
nomination for President of the Demo-
cratic party has raised again many
subject. I had hoped that my earlier
osdoChACit AAoo OicPOoCo Vi ti1C i1db0CA.
while on the one hand I do not
wish to put myself in the position of
declining nomination for the greatest
Office in the land, which no one is in a
position to tender, yet on the other
hand I must not by my silence permit
you and other good friends like you to
put yourselves In the embarrassing posi-
ton of making wasteful and fruitless
effort. Indeed, to do so would nut me
under some obligation to the very peo-
pie whose respect and good will value
most highly.
$50 may say definitely and finally
that cannot, for reasons which are
so controlling as not to be open to argu-
ment, accept nomination for the
presidency If made.
with assurances of my gratitude for
the high compliment you have paid me,
believe me to be,
Sincerely yours,
OWEN D. YOUNG"

VETERANS RELIEF
INQUIRY DEMANDED
$3.50, 900, 600 a Year Misuse of Ap-
preparations Charged by Com

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May IGNORE than
s45o, ,Oo0, 900 a year is being paid by the
Federal Government to former soldiers
who are not suffering from war dis
abilities. the Committee on Public
Health Relations of the New York
Academy of Medicine charged today,
demanding a congressional investigation
of veterans relief.
Recent Investigations" the commit
tee said, reveal a totally unfair dis
tribution of relief benefits, scandalous
but strictly legal misuse of appropria-
tions and almost unbelievable extrava-
eance in the duplication of medical ia
cilities throughout the country where
first-class hospital accommodations are
available for veterans as well as the
public.
"No other procedure except a con-
gressional investigation offers any hope
of repeating the unjust laws, Of cur
failing unnecessary Federal expenditures
and of developing coordinate pro-
gram OF veterans relief for the future
which will be fair to the former soldiers
and also to the remaining SO per cent Of
the population Of the United States"

HARD TIMES AID
/ MARRIED LIFE,
/ SAYS EXPERT

NEW YORK, July % QN.SJ.
The business of marriage is thriv'
ing now, for this period Of eco.
nomic stress has pulled many
families together to become &C
Quainted for the first time.
So said DR.. Paul Popenoe, d.
rector Of the Institute of Family
Relations Of Los Angeles, who is
here for the Columbia University
summer session, in an exclusive
interview today
Expert No Cynic
DR.. Popenoe. an authority on
marriage, after close inspection OF
more than 1000 cases in his
marital adjustment bureau, is no
eynic.
Acquaintanceship between hus'
bands and wives, possible with
the cessation Of intensive social
life, he says, breeds happiness
srather than discomfort. He eX'
planned:
divorce is a luxury people
can't afford in hard times. or
course, some people are hold
ing on until they can save up
the attorneys fees, but l think
more are working harder at
marriage than ever before.
Their attitude is one Of res
ignation, rather than ecstacy.
One trouble with marriage Is
that many people are sold on
the idea Of living in a con.
tinual state of ecStacy-and
that's not marriage.
Where 1t ALI Ends
"Ecstatic marriage usually
ends In the divorce court, the
insane asylum, or q fight In
the street."
The vast majority of people
who are married are happily mar
ried, Dr.. Popenoe believes, but
they don't talk ABOUT it.

CUTS ITS BUDGET
Tentative Program Totaling
h $3,460, 900 Adopted by
M National Council.

The National, Council of the Episcopal
Church has adopted a tentative budget
Of $3,46o 900 for 1888, 1t was announced
yesterday. This figure, 1t was pointed
out, represents a decrease of $750.000
from the 1898 budget recommended by
the General Convention of the COM
munion some time ago.
The new budget was approved by the
council after its finance department
had made careful study of recon-
inendations of its departmental officers,
as well as suggestions from committee
of three bishops appointed by Right
quest Of Joint conference of the House
Of Bishops and the council.
New Amount Established.
Announcement of adoption of the
hew budget was a accompanied by
statement that a restoration account"
will be established, to which will be as
signed all sums contributed by the
church membership in excess OF the
budget amount. which will be
available for the restoration OF such
items as the salary cuts OF missionaries
in the field. and of other items involv-
ing vital work which have been tem-
porarily suspended
Episcopal Church budgets for the
three years of each triennium are fixed
by the General Convention. subject to
revision each February, when reports
are made to the council from the
dioceses of the amount each expects TO
be able to pay on quotas based on the
total fixed by the convention.
Rigid Cuts Made.
In 1892 these expectancies fell so lar
short of this total that after making
rigid cuts all along the line, including
a 10 per cent reduction in the salaries
of the headquarters staff and mission
aries in the field. there still was a
shortage, which was meaSurably made
up by S325,000 secured through an
emergency appeal to the church.
Reciting these facts, the address to
the church now being sent out advises
the several thousand congregations
that, while the general convention
budget of S4,225 900 still is retained as
an ideal. mindful of the serious con-
ditions which still confront all of us,
the economies represented in the budget
for 1882 have been retained in the
1888 budget, and the restoration &C
count will be set up for all pledges
received in excess of this amount.
