yards in all directions, and against which the
rigging and upper works hung traced like some
fantastic spiders web ballooned by the gale.
Here and there in that web human figures

When the water began to recede, the girl

Graft Is
 Found to
 Be Myth,
Washington State EZRA Is Cleared of Charge, Col
 fusion, Conspiracy

WASHINGTON. Sept. 30.- The Federal Emergency Relief Admins tration reported that it's investiga- tion of Relief Administration in the State of Washington showed that wholesale charges of collision and conspiracy on the part of relief of ficials and employees are not sub- stantiated."
 In a ten-page report on it's in vestigation, the EZRA report said:
 "Wllful graft and fraud is neg ligible, but in some counties ineffi- ciency and mismanagement has ex- isted. This occurred largely prior to the organization of the Washing ton Emergency Relief Administra- ton in April, 1894, under the old County Welfare Boards"
 Investigators said that the evil dence failed to show that relief of ficials were attempting to build up a statewide political machine.
 Summing up their report, the in- vestigators said: The alleged $30,- 100000 steal was found to be a myth"
 The report said the inspections failed to substantiate the charge that Gov. C1ar ence D. Martin profited from the sale of flour by stores or that stores were coerced to buy flour exclusively from his Cheney Flour Mills under threat of being removed from the accred- ited list of stores.

 Nude, Government Finaices

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.- New taxes have been conditionally ruled cut, said President Roosevelt in a report to the people, saying that improving business has fortified the governments financial position.
 Peering into the nations indus- trial and financial future. the cl1sef executive saw the curves of tax collections and government expen- ditures swinging toward meeting point.
 Big Deficit Cut
 He predicted big cut in the de- ficit originally estimated for the current fiscal year, 1886. and ans other for the next fiscal twelve months. No date was set for a com- pletely balanced budget.
 The nations tax structure was said by the President to be stronger than ever before"
 Normal Business
 He predicted that the return of normal business will produce reve- nues sufficient for all purposes. The prevailing rate of recovery fore- casts a speedy drop in emergency spending. The 1887 budget is being prepared with a view to sharply decreasing the spread between in- come and outgo."
 The statement was conditional. however, upon continued collection of processing taxes on farm pro- ducts, the constitutionality of which is now undergoing test in the courts.

 McGrady Westbound

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Sept. 30. The waterfront hustled with ac- tivity today as longshoremen be- gan to load 29 ships tied up because of the "hot cargo" dispute.
 A truce was declared for further negotiations between the ship own CTS and longshoremen.
 Assistant Secretary of Labor Mo- Grady is enroute here from the east to help settle the dispute.
 Last Saturday the waterfront was ominously reminiscent of the pre- Jude of last years bitter marine gen. eral strike as ships were wharf, bound.
 On Eligible List
 The supply of eligible" long, shoremen Saturday approached the vanishing point as the longshore- men sought reverse of the de- cision of Federal Arbitrator M. c. Sloss, who ruled that steyedores must work freight regardless of strikes at existing points of It's orl- gin. The longshorernen appealed but Judge Sloss refused to reconsider his decision saying he found the longshoremen stalemated to abide by the decision to work a cargo as 1t would assist in breaking the strikes of fellow unions.
 Return To Man
 Saturday, nearly 2.000 longshore- men called to work hot cargo" had been placed on the Ineligible list because of their refusal.
 Today, the 1ongshoremen in view of further discussion of the dispute returned to a man.
 The shipowners said the right of the award gave them authority to hire nonunion workers If the long, shoremen refused to work.

MADRID, Sept. 3o..-Formal abdk cation Of Alfonso XIII, former king of Spain, as a wedding present to his son, the 1nfante Juan, now titular Prince of the Asturias, who will be married in Rome October 12, is the dream of large section of Spanish monarchists.
 Efforts to get the deposed mon- arch to give up his claim to the crown thus far have been fruitless, but high monarchist circles are hopeful that Alfonso may yield to pressure as gesture in behalf of restoring unity to Spain's divided monarchists.
 Hope In Sturdy Prince
 In Juan, these monarchists see a new hope for restoration of the throne. The prince is 22 and is strong and vigorous in contrast with his two elder brothers, Alfonso, for mer heir apparent who suffers from hemophelia, and Jaime, who is a deaf mute. He has served in the Spanish and British navies and has been groomed as a potential candidate for the throne.
 His marriage. too, is regarded by monarchists as perfectly in accord with dynastic necessities. The ex- Prince of the Asturias married 9 Cuban commoner, thus cutting him. self off from the throne, while Juan is marrying distant cousin, Prin- cess Maria de Ia Esperanza. young est child of the 1nfante Carlos (Prince Charles of Bourbon Two Sicilies) and Infanta Luis, Princess of Orleans. She is just year younger than Juan.
 Alfonso's Popularity Wancs
 Ex- King Alfonso has lost so much popularity in Spain, both because of his flight in October. 1881, and his subsequent domestic difficulties, that the coming marriage of his son is regarded by many monarchists as a perfect moment to start afresh.
 At the same time monarchist lead- ers say it is likely that Don Carlos, 87-year old Carlist pretender, also could be persuaded to surrender his claim. thus uniting all monarchists behind common candidate,
 While Alfonso left his throne in 1881, he never formally abdicated. One of his first acts in exile was to issue a manifesto in which he said he had been forced out and had not surrendered his rights.
 The fact that he has replaced his chamberlain, the late Duke de Mi- randa, by the Marquis de Ia Eliseda. young deputy in the present Span ish cortes, is regarded as indicat- ing Alfonso himself realizes the need for young blood.
 Some 1000 monarchists are plan ming to go to Rome for the we'd ding of Infante Juan and a sub scription is being collected for a wedding present.

 The President proposed State power line from this project as a yard stick to measure the cost of power throughout the United States.

 | He also strongly defended count less other Federal projects. Declaring that 'it is a simple fact that Government spending is already beginning to show definite signs of its effect on consumer spending, and that putting people to work by the Government put other people to work through pfi- vate employment" Roosevelt called upon private industry to carry on. Tn two and one-half years we have come to point where private industry must bear the principal responsibility of keeping the pro- ceses of greaher employment mov- ing forward with accelerated speed,7 he declared.
