stage, wheat prices plunged today to
the lowest level in more than two
years. Before the close the market
recovered about cent of the extreme
loss.
Brisk selling that swept over all
major world markets was attributed
to discouraged owners, many of whom
apparently placed stop loss orders near
yesterdays closing prices. A decline
OF to 10 cents at Chicago since the
first of the month depressed long in
terests while the days developments
including weakness in stocks and sharp
declines abroad accentuated the SELL
ing. The early break brought a large
volume of stop loss orders into execu-
ton and the descent was rapid. Short
covering by leading professionals who
took their profits and buying by cash
interests caused the closing rally.
At midseason low levels December

BALANCE SEEN
NEXT YEAR IN
BUDGET
U. S. to Start Paying
Off Debt in 1889,
Says Cannon
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL


The Federal Government not
only will balance its budget in the
next year, but in 1899 will begin to
cut down the huge national debt
Of $4,000, 900, 900, Representative
Clarence j. Cannon CD of Mis-
souri,, acting chairman of the
House Appropriations Committee,
predicted today.
The Administrations plans, he
said, will make unnecessary a
huge new tax bill next year, as
predicted by critics of the Admin
tstration's spending policies.
Situation In EpitOme
Presenting a bird's-eye picture
of the Administrations present
and future plans, the acting head
of the committee which originates
all appropriations bill pointed out
that:
Government revenues since
April s have exceeded estimates,
and there is every indication
that they will continue to rise.
A flat 10 per cent cut in apprO
priatiOnS was unnecessary be-
cause it was found that President
Roosevelt had wide authority to
tmpound funds.
There is every indication that
Congress next winter can still
further cut relief appropriations.
A layman'S balance of the bud
get will be achieved in the fiscal
year which began July. l, even
though cost of Government will
be around $1,000, 100000.
TREND NOW OPPOSITE
Cannon added:
early in April it was neces.
sary to revise estimates of rev
enue because the tax receipts
were disappointing. But since
that time the trend has been the
opposite. Revenues have in
creased beyond expectations, be-
yOnd the estimates.
eve will not need a general
increase in taxation next year.
All we need to do is to close
up lOOphOleS and get the
taxes we should get under
present law.
Expenditures are being and
will be reduced. For. example,
we spent $4,000, 100000 on
relief last year. This year we
have appropriated $1,5OO, OOO,-
600. We expect to be able to
reduce relief appropriations
still further next year and also
cut down emergency agencies.
eve cali and should reach
o layman's balance of the
budget in the present fiscal
year provided that Congress
doesn't add too much to what
already has been appropriated
and the upswing in income
continues.
DRASTIC CUTS ORDERED
at has been found that the
President can impOund funds
to such extent as he deems
advisable. He issued the order
for a reduction of not less
than 10 per cent. On some
items the reduction will be
more than so per cent.
Positions that become vacant
are not being filled and pro-
motions are not being made.
That is the reason for the
complaint of some employees in
the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
''Material savings will be
made. The estimates run from
$3.50, 100000 to 100000, 900.
1--WE are making a progressive
reduction of the budget. Pres
emit estimates show we are
within $500, OOO,OOO to $3OO,OOOs-
600 IF a balance this year"
Appropriations for the present
session already have passed the
$1,000, 900, 900 mark, with the final
total to be determined after the
deficiency measure is passed. Gov
eminent receipts during the cur
rent fiscal year are estimated at
1892 100000.

OF HOW HUSBAND DIED

1 didn't want to but just to
please him, 1 took the gun, held
it out the car window, and pulled
the trigger once. When we pulled
up and stopped, Clarence insisted
that he be allowed to spend the
night with me. I refused, but ne
came into the house anyway. He
lay down on the davenport. I pro-
tested:
you should go home, Clar-

Clarence just groaned but didn't
move.
Again told him he should go
home, but he said he was going 70
spend the night with me. 1 went
upstairs into my room and un-
dressed. Then to the guest room
and locked myself in.
Then Came Shot
A few minutes later I heard
Clarence come up the steps. He
was stumbling and breathing heav-
lily. Several times he paused and
groaned. Then I heard him walk
into the room next to mine.
1 heard a shot.
At first I thought Clarence was
just fooling. He had been threat
ening to shoot himself for some
time, but I never thought he'd
have the nerve to go through with
| it.
Finally I thought I'd better look
and see what was going on in the
next room. I got up nerve enough
to unlock my door and go over to
the next bedroom. I looked in, but
the room was dark. All I could
see was ClarencetS feet on the
floor near the bed. 1 went in and
picked UP his head. Not until then
did I realize that something Sc
rious had happened.
I saw the gun near his hand.
I picked it up and took it out into
the hall to examine it carefully.
The gun got back into that room
somehow, but 1 can't remember
how. All that part Of it is a bit
vague.
That's how it happened. That
is the truth. That is what I have
told States Attorney johnson and
the police. That is my story.

And the future? I have nothing
