Roosevelt
Reyises The
1887 b. get

Washington, S ,pL. l--luP)-
President Roosevelt tonight rcviS-
cd the 1887 bugCt picture to C5ti-
mate q S12,0O0,OOC increase of re-
cCiptS which, however. will be off
set by greater expenditures and a
bigger deficit because of the bonus
and AAA inyahdatiOn.
In summary issued through
acting budget director Daniel w.
Bell, Mr.. Roosevelt changed the
figures he submitted to Congress
last January fer the fiscal year
which ends June 80, 1897. The
changes in the three main items,
receipts, expenditures and deficit,
we're as follows:
Receipts: New estimate. $685.
839, 900, up $ll.621,35O from jan
uary'S estimate of 1854, 2l7,650.
Expenditures: New estimate,
1852 .835.300. an increase of
S117.533.962 from the January
estimate of s7.645. .3Ol. 1888.
Deficit: New estimate. S2.096.-
996.30O against an original eSti-
mate of Sl.098.3S8.720.
Two events made necessary the
bigger expenditures, Mr.. Roosc-
vclt said:
l Supreme Court invalidation
Of the Agricultural Adjustment
Act. This clipped off the income
from processing taxes, caused
Congress to appropriate s296,000,-
900 to pay its Moral Obligation
to farmers. and neceSSitated APP
preparation of $500. 100000 to sub
sidize the new soil Conservation
Act.
2 Passage of the soldier bonus
This added S1.674,000000 to vet
eranS' payment in 1896 and vii,
add S560.000,000 to this fiSca,
years bill.
Had it not been for these two
items. the summary pointed out
the revised budget picture would
Ihave been considerably brighter
Together with the increased rev.
cnuC of almost a million dollars
a month. other expenditures haC
been cut down. But the bonus
and the Supreme Courts AAA de-
ciSion are now history, and the net
national financial result is an eS-
timated billion dollar increase II
the deficit.
Referring to the projected two
billion dollar deficit. the PrcSid-
cnt pointed out that it includes
$500 100000 for statutory debt re-
.irement and S560,000,00O fol
further payments under the bonus
law. DeduCting the statutory debt
retirement leaves a net deficit OF
Sl.5l6, ,996,30O, he said.
This does not mean that there
will be an increase in the pub&
debt of this amount Mr. RoosC'
welt asserted. For the reason
that it is contemplated during tht
year to reduce the working bal
ancc of the general fund by ap-
prOXlmately S1,100,000.000.'

Police Believe That LethaI
Weapon Has Been
Identified
"PERSONS UNKNOWN"
Broken Neck, Fractured
Skull Is Evidence OF
Brutal Attack

Police and court officials are now
definitely of the opinion that the
blow that downed Washington Barn
es, 65-year-o;d Negro living near
the city limits, was struck while the
man was outside his shack probably
investigating some noise made by
the intruder.
The trail OF blood and broken
weeds tended to show that the as
sailant made an attempt TO drag
the body into the bushes for con-
cealment. Evidently later dcviSing
the plan of placing the Negro in
his living quarters and setting fire
10 the place, as the trail of blood
circl2d and vecred back toward the
shack.
That at least one and possibly
more of the blows given the dead
man we're struck by means OF an
iron strip measuring about two feet
by one and half inches and
quarter OF an inch thick, is the
opinion of officers.
No blood was found upon the iron
after a careful examination by As
sistant Chief of Police M. E. MeadeS,
directly after discovery of the crime
but a small wisp Of hair was stuck
to one side at the end.
A flake of rust evidently had been
recently knocked off the weapon
according to the police Official.
There is still some doubt as 70
the possibility of the Negro having
in some manner managed to crawl
into the hut after the attack. but
in view of the fact that the autoD-
sy showed his neck to be broken
such move would seem impossible.
A long cash on the right side OF
thl Negroes head and running al
an angle from the right temple TO-
ward the back gave evidence OF n
blow OF sufficient strength to shat
ter the skull directly beneath the
wound. Altho the left car was cut
and a glaring cash was apparant
on the left frontal bone above the
eye. there was no other fracture
Of the skull.
No definite clue as TO the aSSailant
has yet been announced by invcStl-
gators working on the case, but
considerable energy IS being cX-
pended in tracing all available cvid-
ence TO the utmost.

ness the autopsy by Coroner j. j.

Barnes had lived in his quarters
for a period of about five years.
For several years he drove sani-

1t is known fact that the old

Toms Had A
Pren1OnitiOn
OF His Death
One cf Many Recipients OF
His Priyaic BcncfactiCn
Is SO Convinced

That Clinton w. Toms had q
prcmonition of his death which
occurred at his home in New York
rily carly Saturday morning was
cvcG'Cd in q statement made by
nc OF his many private bcneh-
;iaric5 yesterday.
Several years ago a former lCl-
ow towuSman of Nh. Toms suffer-
d an alTliCtiCn that inCapacltat-
ID him for his work. He was In
Treat financial distress. Clinton
Toms he'd not seen this man IN
years and was in no sense obligat-
ed to him: bat the man in dis
LreSS was an old resident of Hert-
ford where Clinton Toms was
born. News of the mans condition
came to Mr.. Toms from some
source unknown. IIc dispatched a
letter to the man and asked him to
write the facts about his condition.
About q week later the man re-
ceivcd a check for $25 from c. w.
Toms. And Mr.. Toms personal
check followed on the 30th day of
the month every month thcrcaf-
ter until
MI. Toms personal check for S25
vas mailed to this man on the 26,
last month, instead of the 30. Mr..
Toms died in the night of August
80.
Clinton Toms knew that he was
about to die" said the man to a
reporter in PerquimanS County
yesterday; adding: 1t was char
acteristic of him; puntilious to the
last in. all things"
The incident incidentally reveals
the chGritablcneSS of Clinton
Toms. The extent of his private
DcncfaCtionS will never be known
| but it is known that he sought in
Ill ways to be helpful 20 Old
friends and acquaintance and
people generally who needed fin

emergencies. He is known to have
oancd large sums of money to
| friends and relatives caught in
the stock market crash of 1929
with little hope of some of the
oanS ever being repaid.
1t is recalled that in his earlier
jears. when his wife Mary Newly
Toms was living, the pair had
planned q vacation trip on which
would be incOnVcnicnt TO take

STATE

Here's good news folks! According to public demand Warner Brothers State theater management an- nounces arrangements have been made to hold over the current show until Friday night.
 Not since Frank Capras great hit, Tt Happened One Night, has 8 picture captured the fancy of local theatergoers with the enthusi- asm according MT. Deeds Goes to Town" starring Gary Cooper and Jean Arthur.
 Capra makes but one picture a year and it is evident he has scored 8 fourth straight triumph for Wa terbury's reception of MT. Deeds Goes to Town" is typical of that being accorded it everywhere 1t is presented.
 It's & new type of story and gives Gary Cooper the finest role he has played in years. Cooper can thank Frank Capra for this show which unquestionably again places him high in the esteem of movie fans. He does a real job of a part that fits him to the proverbial "r". Jean Arthur is excellent in the faminine lead role and commendable also are the performances of George Ban croft, Lionel Stander, Douglas Dum- billie, H. B. Warner and other members of the cast.
 This reviewer has seen 1t twice and enjoyed it doubly the second time the dialogue being dellv- cred in such rapid fashion that it is impossible to obtain full ap- preciation of its subtle wit, the laughs being long and loud.
 The companion feature is Panic On the Air" with Lew Ayres and Florence Rice. Here's a tale of murder, mystery and adventure with the broadcasting station of a big radio company for the story back ground.
 Saturday next brings Fred Mac Murray and Joan Bennett in ''Thir- teen Hours By Air" also "The House of Thousand Candles" with Phil lips Holmes, Mae Clarke and Irv- ing Pichel.

 WITH M. V. FORCE
No Disagreement Over Rental of Land for
 Testing Station

Joseph A. Wilhelm, head of the real estate division of the Amer ican Brass company, denied any knowledge today of report that his concern had ordered the state motor vehicle department to move some of its auto testing equipment along Thomaston avenue from the company's land. AS far as he is aware, he asserted, the auto depart ment's equipment and temporary office are on highway property.
 When Thomaston avenue was first considered as the locality for the current auto testing program, the motor vehicle department, it was learned today, asked the American Brass company for permission to use the Golf lots for the work.
 Agreement Made
 The American Brass company agreed to lease the land to the state motor vehicle department without rental providing an agree ment was executed protecting the concern against any lawsuits for anything that might happen at the proposed testing station. For some reason or another there was no way in which to have such an agree ment prepared so the motor vehicle department had to give up the idea.
 This fact, Mir. Wilhelm said to- day, possibly has given rise to the report that motor vehicle testing equipment had been ordered off the American Brass company's land at the Golf lots.
 Motor vehicle department off, cials claimed, when setting up the present testing station, that the land to be occupied on Thomaston avenue was part of the highway. MT. Wilhelm said today that as far as he knows the land being used is in the highway line.
