DIONNE KIDNAP
PLOT VERIFIED
WouId-Be AbduCtorS Are
Known; Hoped 10 Exhibit
Five Babies in u. S.

Copyright. 1885, by United Press
CALLANDER, Ont, March %
The existence of a well-organized
plot to kidnap the Dionne quin-
tuplets was verified this afternoon
by the provincial police. The United
Press learned that the plotters are
known, but can not be arrested be-
caus no overt acts were committed.
The plan of the would-be kid
napers, it was learned, was to steal
the babies from Dafoe Hospital and
take them across the United States
border by automobile.
There they would have been put
on exhibition for profit Discovery
of the alleged plot prevented it from
being carried out and now Dafoe
Hospital is guarded day and night
by uniformed provincial police.
Today the five Dionne babies are
10 months old. Their weight has
increased an average of one pound
each in the last month. They sleep
we'll and laugh out loud. DR.. A. R.
Dafoe. who delivered the babies,
says that their intelligence is above
the average.
Mrs. Ovila Dicnne, the babies
mother, visited their nursery yester-
day to show them to a group of
friends. 1t was the first time she
had seen her babies for nearly two
weeks.
DR.. Fafoe marked their birthday
by announcing that the quintuplets
are becoming young ladies to the
extent that they no longer require
night feeding"

Chuck went on the loose. He
became drunk and disorderly-in

of those times he didn't know his

until eight of them had arrived
and more or less entered the

rived and done the same thing,
and until central headquarters
was vaguely considering setting up
a recruiting headquarters outside
the hotel, that Chuck was sub
dued.
Next morning he was sorry and
thought the police should forgive
all.
Chuck really likes policemen. If
he gets cross with them, it's only
because his point of view is tenn
porarily distorted by the use of
alcoholic beverages and Chuck is
the first to admit that he some
times forgets himself when he's
had a touch too much.
IT wasn't long ago that Chuck
i had a pretty good idea. He
pointed out that many older
fighters, who had retired from
the ring but were famous in their
days, now have jobs as chiefs of
police and sheriffs.
It's a good job for an ex-
fighter, who can handle his fists
and has had plenty of battles on
his hands. I ought to be chief of
police of Indianapolis. I know
about police and can handle
them"
Then something occurred to
Chuck. who was conducting his
musings publicly and imprudently

Employed Gain

The average volume of in.
duStrial employment expanded
in proportion to production,
and the total number of unem-
ployed at the end Of the fiscal
year 1884, although still very
large, decreased by about two
millions, as compared with June,
1888, and four millions, as COM
pared with the worst point Of
the depression, which fell in
March, 1888. Reflecting higher
wage rates and an expansion in
total hours worked, industrial
pay rolls averaged sharply
higher over the year.
Distribution of commodities
at retail to consumers increased.
But in smaller proportion than
output, with the result that in
ventories Of manufactured goods
showed a net growth over the
year ended June 80, 1884.
At the end of the fiscal year
1884 the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics index of wholesale COM
modify prices stood at 74.8 per
cent. of its 1925 average, as
compared with 66.3 per cent. on
June 30, 1888, and 59.6 per cent.
early in March, 1888.
The sharpest rise in prices
took place in farm products
which were affected by antici-
patton of smaller crops during
the summer of 1884.
The rise in agricultural
prices more than offset the de-
crease in farm output, and
farmers cash income, includ-
ing governmental rental and
benefit payments, was "a per
cent higher than in the fiscal
year 1888. Corporate profits,
aided by larger volume as well
as by inventory appreciation,
also increased considerably.
The Washington times., 1935-01-07
Revenue Estimates

The total receipts for the
fiscal year 1885 are estimated
at approximately $3,992,00O, 900.
When $57O,000,O00 of estimated
processing taxes are deducted
from this amount, there will
remain for general purposes,
$3,422, 900, 900.
The detailed estimates of rev.
enues and receipts for 1886, in
dicate a gain of 137,000,000
in the collections from income
tax over those for 1885.
This gain is due to anticipated
Improvement in business and to
the upward revision of rates in
the revenue act of 1884.
The miscellaneous Internal
Revenue taxes for 1886 are es.
timated to increase some $143,-
100000 over the collections for
1885.
This increase is predicted
on the assumption that the
taxes terminating on June 80
and July 81, 1885, will be ex-
tended by the Congress, and
also that the tax rates which
would be reduced on June 80,
1885, will be continued.
Otherwise there will be a re-
duction in the total estimate of
miscellaneous Internal Revenue
taxes of $378,000,000, thus
bringing the total estimate
down to $1,3OS,OOO,OOO exclud-
ing processing taxes.
. Customs are estimated to
yield $298,0O0,O0O for 1896,
representing small increase of
$11,000,000 over 1885. Miscellan-
eouS revenues and other re.
ceipts are estimated to produce
$250,O00,000, a gain of about
23,000,000 over 1885.
The Washington times., 1935-01-07
Prices Keep Firm

Following the close of the fis-
cal year 1884, output in basic
industries fell sharply through
September, reflecting particu-
larly an over-accumulation Of
inventories in steel and textile
products and the delay in the
placing Of orders for autumn
merchandise because of uncer-
tainty as to the effect of the
drought.
Industrial prices, however, re-
manned relatively stable and
prices of farm products and
foods moved into closer align
ment with prices of nonagricul-
tural commodities. In retail
markets, goods continued to
move in sustained volume with
the result that inventories were
reduced to lower levels and out
put was again increasing in the
final quarter of the calendar
year 1884.
CONDITION OF FISCAL
YEAR 1885
The total expenditure re.
quirements for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1885, are es-
timated at approximately 3d.
581, 100000. OF this amount,
the sum of $3,321, ,00O, 900 is for
regular expenditures, and $5,-
100000 for recovery and relief.

from an additional sum of ap-

Defense Increased

The actuarial requirement OF
the fund for 1886 has been esti-
mated at $155, 100000. An ef-
fort will also be made during
the coming year to establish
this fund on a more definite
basis consistent with the Gov.
ernment'S actual liability under
existing law.
The expenditures for national
defense have been increased for
1896 over 1885 by $4,000, 900.
This increase is due to the
current policy Of the Congress
and the Executive to make up
for the delay by the United
States in meeting the provisions
of the naval treaties of 1922
and 1880, and to provide replace
ment and improved equipment
for the Army.
Veterans pensions and other
requirements have also been in
creased by about $130,000. 900,
after adding to the 1885 figure
the estimated supplemental
amount previously mentioned,
which is due to the application
Of new laws and revised rules
pertaining to service-connected
disabilities.
Another increase in the esti-
mated expenditures is $780,
100000 from an appropriation
of $500, 100000, which I am re-
questing for public works. This
appropriation is intended to
take care of the normal public
works requirements of the
Government usually included
in the annual supply bills, such
as Federal highways, river and
harbor improvements, and gen.
eral public works, including the
construction program OF the
Tennessee Valley Authority.
This requested appropriation
may, therefore, be regarded as
regular instead of emergency.
The debt charges for interest
The Washington times., 1935-01-07
Debt Increased

The deficit at the end of the
fiscal year 1884 was $685.
100000 in round figures. After
deducting $3.50, 100000 for statu-
tory debt retirements during
1884, the resulting net deficit
financed from borrowings was
$3,629, 100000.
The gross increase in the ma
tional debt amounted to $4,514,-
100000, making a total debt Of
$27,O53, 100000.
This addition to the debt dur.
ing 1884 included the financing
of the deficit of $3,629, SOC, 900
and an increase of 1884, 800 900
in the cash balance of the gen.
eral and special accounts.
THE ECONOMIC SITUA-
TION
Because Of it's profound in.
fluence on the Federal budget,
the economic situation may be
briefly summarized at this point.
Business was substantially
more active during the fiscal
year 1884 than in either of the
two preceding fiscal years. At
the opening of the year, in July,
1888, producers were increasing
their operations, sharply reflect
ing in part larger orders placed
in anticipation of code regula-
tions. There was a temporary
decline in output in the autumn
and early winter, in response to
an over accumulation of inven-
tories during this period, but
production again advanced dur
ing the last half of the fiscal
year.
Industrial output for the
period as a whole, when
measured by the Federal Re
serve Board index, was Is per
cent greater than in the fiscal
year 1888 and only slightly be-
low the level of the fiscal year
1881.
The degree Of recovery varied
in the different industries.
Production of nondurable goods,
which had declined only moder-
ately during the depression
approached within one per
cent of its 1923-25 average,
while output in the durable
goods group, where prices
showed relatively small declines
The Washington times., 1935-01-07
Up to 8 Billions

The estimated expenditures
for the fiscal year 1885 total
in round figures $8,520,000, 900,
including statutory debt retire
ments. OF this amount $685.
100000 are for regular purposes
and the remainder for recovery
and relief.
The regular expenditures
consist Of $1,622 100000 for the
operation and maintenance of
the regular departments and
establishments of the Govern
ment, which includes $200,000,-
900 to be expended from an
annual appropriation of $780,
100000 for public works, as
requested in the budget and as
explained below.
The other items of regular
expenditures are $740,000, 900
for veterans pensions and
benefits, $875,000,000 for in
terest on the national debt,
$685., 100000 for statutory debt
retirements, and $65, 100000 for
tax. refunds Excluding process.
ing tax refunds).
Some of the principal in
creases in the major expendi-
lures items for 1896 may be
cited. The restoration of the
final 5 per cent of the Is per
cent salary reduction amounts
to about $40, 0,000,0 900 for the reg
ular departments and establish
ments, exclusive Of the postal
service.
The latter service requires an
additional sum of $25,000,000
for this purpose.
Provision has been made in
1886 for an increase in the
civil service retirement and dis
ability fund of $20,000,000 over
1885, making a total annual
contribution to this fund of $40,.
100000. This increase will en-
able the Government to meet
more nearly its annual obliga-
ton with respect to this fund.
It has been estimated that this
obligation amounts to $52,000.-
900, but such estimate has not
been sufficiently established to
justify its inclusion in the
budget.
An effort will be made dur
ing the coming year, however,
definitely to establish the Gov
ernment's annual liability, the
amount of which will be includ.
ed in the 1887 budget.
Likewise, an increase of $780,
100000 is recommended in the
veterans adjusted-service certi-
ficate fund, thus bringing the
total annual contribution to this
fund up to $100,000,000.
