CANOEISTS DRIFT SIX
HOURS BEFORE RESCUE

PHILADELPHIA, May

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, May 3l.-A
couple of long-distance canoeists
showed of from Philadelphia today,
their rescue from a seaward drift a
mere incident.
Jack Broberg, "a, and Don Hughes,
%, graduates of the Art Institute OF
Chicago. pushed on toward Trenton
after snatching few hours sleep in
their canoe at Delaware River Wharf.
They told of their rescue by a
freighter after a paddle broke. They
had been drifting seaward for six
hours, when a burning shirt fastened
to a paddle attracted the crew and the
vessel hauled them to Chester.
Padding by river, canal and Great
Lakes, they expect to sight Chicago
again about the middle of August,
they said.

The Navy has only half covered the
failure of the Macon in the Southern
maneuvers. Very soon the fact will
be out that the lighter -than-air craft
apparently is a bologna in fact as well
as in shape.
The battleship admirals will be
pleased. They have never thought
much of giant dirigibles Mr.. Roose-
welt may hear something about it
when he reviews the fleet. These de-
velopments probably will force Con-
gress to take a definite attitude on
lighter-than-air naval policy. Dir
igible enthusiasts always seem to be
able to get millions out Of Congress.

Arkansas Insurance Case.
The Supreme Court crossed its
fingers carefully on the new deal in
the Arkansas insurance case last
Monday.
1t seemed to say that 1t approved
seizure of property in the Minnesota
mortgage case a few months ago only
as temporary emergency proposition
and could not approve seizure as a
permanent proposition in the Arkan-
Sas case.
No ,piH dare to say ,Dhat the
Supreme Court thinks beyond its
its Uritten words, but court fol-
loUers are convinced that the
court realizes the national emer-
gency is passing.
The wise men in Wall Street know
they can make money as usual under
the new stock market bill They
realize they are very, very lucky that
the regulations are no worse from
their standpoint.
The idea seems to be that high
priced stocks will fluctuate more
sharply-by halls instead of eighths
and quarters. 1t will hurt the chisel-
ers who have been shaving an eighth

may rise and fall by quarters.
These are only general expectations

NEW CUBAN PACT
APPROVAL NEARS
Opposition to Abrogation of
Treaty of 1903 Is
Slight.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senate approval of the new treaty
cutting the cords that for three
decades have bound Cuba to the
United States had been reduced to-
day to a mere formality momentarily
expected.
There was little opposition of con-
sequence. The Foreign Relations
Committee unanimously approved the
pact which was signed Tuesday and
Chairman Pittman stood ready to
portunity.
The treaty would abrogate the
much-condemned pact of 1908. in
cluding the famous Platt amendment,
under which the United States had
authority to intervene for the pro-
lection of Cubas independence. hnan-
clal integrity or sanitary conditions.
Such doubts as were expressed in
the Senate concerning the advisability
of relinquishing these rights failed to
develop into outright opposition, al
though Senator Fess. Republican. of
Ohio thought I'VE may find we have
made a mistake"
Discussion Held Academic.
Pittman described the committees
discussion as largely academic, while
Senator Johnson, Republican, Of Cali
fornia said it had served to remove
the objections of himself and some
others who had felt some qualms'
about it.
Fess was concerned about the ef-
feet the treaty might have on the
Monroe doctrine and feared the pact
showed trend toward abandonment
of the famous declaration of policy
toward South and Central America.
L am afraid that in the next 10
years." he said, I'VE will realize
we have yielded to certain pressure
which will produce difficulties fol
us that might cause us to have tc
interfere again in Cuban affairs"
Pittman made an effort to push
the treaty through at the outset Of
yesterdays session, but, because Of q
confused parliamentary situation ano

crat. of Louisiana. to be allowed tc

The Senate made plain its objection

am. on a Saturday morning, except
in emergencies.
Since Ickes recently issued an order
permitting Interior and Public Works
employees to report for work at $50
am. beginning tomorrow. so they can
have from $3.50 pm. to keep cool dur
ing the Summer, he has given serious
thought to his own lack of recrea-
tional facilities.
This order was issued today to all
bureau chiefs:
The Secretary of the Interior has
come to the conclusion that he would
like to have some free time on Satur-
day afternoons. He does not recall
that he has had a Saturday after
noon of since he became q member
of the cabinet. He has not only
worked Saturday afternoons, but gen.
orally Saturday nights and almost
without exception at least half the
day on Sundays.
This pressure on him has been
due in considerable measure to lack
of consideration on the part of some
of the bureaus in the department. In
order to clear up their own desks and
so have their week ends free from
official care 1t has been all too Gus
tomary to pile work on the desk of
the Secretary on Saturdays. think
this has been thoughtlessness and not
because of any additional pleasure to
any one arising out Of the reflection
that he has been helping to keep the
Secretary's nose to the grindstone
over the week end while he himself
was having little necessary relaxa-
ton.

Urges More Speed.

''It must be said that a careful
study of the dates on much of the
correspondence that has been piled
on the Secretarys desk on Saturdays
indicates that with little diligence
most of this correspondence could
have gone forward one, two or even
three or four days earlier.
Hereafter, no signature mail shall
be forwarded to the Secretary's office
later than o'clock of a Saturday
morning except in emergency matters.
Nor Is accumulated work to be piled
up in the various bureaus. On days
other than Saturdays the deadline
will be 1:30 pm. The purpose Of
this order Is to expedite the work
and keep a constant flow through
to the Secretary's Office. II I do
not want work piled on my own desk
over the week end, neither do ! want
that condition to prevail with respect
to the desk Of any member Of the

DEFICIT ONE-HA[F
|. ESTIMATED TOTAL
Should Be Around Four Bill
Iion-NationaI Debt Below
Peak Level.
BY the Associated Press.

by Lne Associated fTeSS.
A month from today the Treasury
ends a year of peacetime's greatest
spending-but with a deficit probably
little more than half the 1900 ,O6S ,21l
President Roosevelt estimated.
The rate of June emergency spend
ing, probably to be accelerated. will
tell the final story of the first full
12-month fiscal period of the Roose-
welt Administration.
From the present outlook, however,
when. the 1885 fiscal year begins
july 1. the year Just passed will show
deficit around the $4,000, 900 900
level. Elimination of the s488, 600 900
sinking fund item would bring this
down to around half the President's S
budget figure.
100000 900 Taxes Due.
June spending would have to Jump
tremendously to push the year-end
deficit any higher, for during the
month nearly 5000, 900, 900 will be paid
in as second quarter installments on
1888 incomes.
Just where the public debt goes will
depend on June financing operations.
There is maturity Of s174,905, 500 on
June Is and another of S345, ,292 500
on August /.
Treasury financing plans are closely
guarded. But in some quarters the
expectation was for sizeable bond
issue in line with the recent Treasury
trend toward long term borrowing.
Mr.. Roosevelt estimated year-end
public debt of s29,847 100000. The
present figure is s26, ,l60 ,O00,0 900. or less
than the SIG, ,596, 70l 900 when the war
debt was at its peak on August 81,
1919,
r. F. c. Below Budget.
Major factors in the drop Of ex-
penditures below budget estimates are
the Reconstruction Corporation and
Public Works Administration. The
budget allowed So ,969, 100000 for the
R. F. c. Its net outlays to date are
only at the 81 500 100000 mark and
Chairman Jesse Jones believes that
on June 30 they will be from 81 ,500,.
00000 to $4,000, 5000 below the
budget figure.
The budget allowed $1,677 100, ,00C
for the Public Works Administration
Including the $400,000,000 for the
Civil Works Administration. P. w. A.
outlays for IL months are just under
g ,O0O, ,000, 900.
While 1884 spending is running far
behind expectations, the Administra-
ton has not altered its forecast that
by the end OF 1885 the public debt
will advance to a record peak Of $751;
834, 900 900. The position held is that
money not spent in the current period
will be spent in the new fiscal year.

GRANGER, la, Feb G. Plans for 6,000-acre experiment in sub- sistence homesteading are under way in this mining hamlet, which hopes for funds from the new deal' program of President Roose- welt.
 The community of less than 500 population is the first in Iowa to seek funds from the $25,00000 ap- propriation to be administered by the federal department of the in terior in a land utilization experi- ment.
 The Granger plan calls for a community of 1900 three-to-f five acre farms centered around the coal mines of the territory. The miners, who average from 80 to 150 days a year in the mines, would be enabled to produce their own food on these farms.
 A small garment factory, cream cries, stores, machine shops and amusement facilities would be op- erated comparatively.
