power which Congress alone was granted by the
founding fathers. The only action possible, &C.
cording to students of constitutional law, is i'm.
parchment proceedings, and there appears, on
surface at least, to be no more legal grounds
for impeaching member of the Ku Klux Khan
than for impeaching Mason, Knight of Column

Coupled with the charge that Black joined the
Khan, resigned as its grand dragon and then
accepted an honorary life membership, the fact
that Senator Borah and President Roosevelt are
both scheduled to make speeches in connection
with Constitution Day celebrations, again d.
verted interest from the foreign situation to
domestic problems.
Borah will speak at Masonic rally, and the
Presidents address, to be made a night later,
will be broadcast over a national hookup on Fri
day, September II. The President was under
stood today to have virtually finished writing his
speech to be delivered from Washington, but
may revise it in view of the war situations and
the latest Black charges.

Still more important, it was pointed out that
until the President communicates directly with
Justice Black it would be unusual to comment

KIN C ASSAILS

Warns of New Tax
Rise For Capital

Joining with those who view
the proposed 1899 estimates for
the District budget calling for an
expenditure of $65, 100000 as ex-
cessive, Senator William H. King
CD Utah, chairman of the Sen
ate District Committee, declared
emphatically today that he is OPP
posed to such a figure.
Senator King has just returned
from q short trip to his home
State and Immediately began a
survey of the situation in the
District in order to arrange a
legislative program for the next
session of Congress. Informed as
to the new total asked for by Dis
trict department heads, he de-
clared:
1--WE must have economies in
the District. We must cut this
budget to the bone and care
for only the absolute necessi-
ties.
CIT is TOO MUCH"
II am opposed to any budget
that would call for an outlay
of some sixty millions Of dol.
lars. It is too much. I do not
think the budget for 1899 should
exceed the figure set this year.
THE District people should
know what they are getting into.
In the past Congress we had
to pass a bill raising the taxes
in the city to meet the large
budget they wanted. Washing

This was not arresting in itself, because if you
go to New York nowadays your first impression
is that every employer up there is unfair to his
workers. But the performance these young women
put on was sight to behold 1t seems that they
don't have to just walk up and down quietly in
New York They can harangue as they go along.
These women were keeping quick time to the
harangue of the most intense young woman we
have seen in long time. They were as graceful
as the Rockettes They would walk in one direc-

the other way and as they did so the shrill voice
of Rebecca would sound:

set for government troops. Gen.
Miaja said his soldiers stood ut . safe

Insurgents barricaded in other
wings Of the devastated building were
in desperate" position, he declared.
Socialist forces also were reported
