Roosevelt Orders
Pork Barrel Cut
CONTINUED from Page D


budget TO business recession, Mr..
Roosevelt emphasized that the 1888
and 1899 deficit figures are tenta-
tive and subject to considerable
expansion with consequent fur
ther increase of the national debt,
because:
!. 7 may find it necessary to
request additional appropriations for
national defense"
2. The economic situation may
not imprOve-and if it does not,
I expect the approval of congress
and the public for additional funds
if they become necessary to save
thousands of American families
from dire need"
Cut Spending
The alternative to greater deficits
under those circumstances would
be increased taxes.
The 1899 budget proposed to re-
duce spending by S539 100000 which
Mr.. Roosevelt regards as the most
important fact in the bulky volume.
This is achieved largely by cutting
items dear to congress such as
highways new public buildings,
new reclamation and rivers and
harbor projects.
Those recommendations head Mr.
Roosevelt toward a battle with con-
gress, which last autumn refused
even to consider the $4,000, 900
highway fund reduction which he
proposed again today.
Skyrocketing national debt has
created its own tremendous over
head so that this budget carries an
item Of s976. 10000 for interest pay
ments the third largest appropria-
ton in the budget. exceeded only
by national defense and work re-
lief Interest on the public debt
has risen from $500 100000 in 1882.
Mr.. Roosevelt proposed major
economies. as follows.
]. Cut the 280O00,0O0 highway
fund in half and fix expenditure
ultimately at about SlOO,OOOO0O an
nually.
2. Cut appropriations for new
rivers and harbors projects from
S81 100000 to $60.O00,0O0: provide
adequate flood control but for the
time being limit rivers and harbors

SWEET POTATO
GROWERS PUSH
SELLING PLANS
Maine Gives Marketing
Tip to Maryland

SALISBURY, Md. Dec. 16.-A
controlled marketing plan spon-
Sored by the Maryland Depart
ment of Markets has been ap-
proved by scores of sweet potato
growers in Maryland and will re.
suit in this product being espe-
cially packed and marketed as
Maryland's Golden Sweet Pota-
toes"
Details of the plan-Similar to
that now in use by potato growers
in Maine-will be thoroughly
worked out and approved by the
growers before the controlled
marketing is undertaken.
Speaking to a group of growers,
S. B. Shaw. chief of the Maryland
department of markets, said the
time has arrived when Maryland
sweet potato growers and ship
pers must grade, package, brand
and advertise thei' products to
sell them successfully at SatiSfac
tory prices in Eastern markets.
II thoroughly believe in a
plan of controlled marketing as
one of the things we must come
to in merchandising our Mary
land farm products, instead of
trusting purely to luck" Mr..
Shaw told the growers.

Killed to Save Self,
office Wife Pleads
Tells of BeatingS'
At Hands of
Victim

ST. JOSEPH. Mich, Dec. Is.
The crowd in the courtroom
leaned forward yesterday when
Fern Patricia Dull, office wife"
laid the basis for her self-defenSe
plea. Il knew william intended
to kill me-" she said.
The plea came after she told of
sacrifices she made for William
Holbrook before she killed him
and of many beatings she had sui
fered at his hands.
You knew it?" asked her attor-
ney, H. T. DewhirSt, colorful head
of the bearded House of David re-
ligiouS colony.
Il did when 1 saw his face" she
said. His fist came toward me-"
The crowd waited to hear the
story of the shooting. But it
heard, instead, the basis for an.
other form of defense-temporary
inSanity-when DewhirSt asked
her what happened then.
Il don't know" said Mrs. Dull.
What do you remember about
using the gum" she was asked. She
answered that she remembered
nothing.
That was the story Mrs. Dull
told in reply to that of States wit

PROTESTS RISE
AS ROOSEVELT
STARTS SHRINE
Business Group Insists
On Stadium Instead

Despite the fact that President
Roosevelt formally dedicated the
site of the Thomas Jefferson Me,
mortal at the Tiday Basin yester-
day afternoon. objections to con-
struction of the Pantheon con-
tinued to come in today.
Meeting last night, the District
Federation of Businessmen urged
that a stadium be constructed in
the Capital rather than another
mausoleum."
While not recommending any
particular site. the federation
pointed out that construction of a
municipal stadium would greatly
aid locrl business by bringing
thousands and thousands of viSi-
tors here for sporting and other
events.
ASK AUDITORIUM
Others urged that in addition to
the stadium a great auditorium be
constructed, so that important ma
tional and international events
might be held here.
Only a small crowd was on hand
at the Tidal Basin when the PreSi-
dent arrived yesterday afternoon.
Work of destroying the Japanese
cherry trees and removal of some
of the stately elmS and others was
delayed while the President de-
livered brief address.
Making no mention of the con-
troversy and Thousand of protests
that have been received, the Presi-
dent praised the project, declaring
that in years to come millions OF
American citizens would have
sense of gratitude that an AIDE
quate, permanent memorial to
Thomas jefferson had been
erected.
The gilded spade used to break
ground for the Lincoln Memorial
and the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier in Arlington was used to
turn the first spade of earth for
the jefferson Memorial.
CONTOUR CHANGED
Stuart Gibboney, acting chair
man of the jefferson Memorial
Commission, turned the first
spadeful of earth, then handed
the gaily decorated spade to the
President, who sat in his car watch
ing.
With the mountaineering exer-
cises finished, it was revealed for
the first time that the contour
of the famed Tidal Basin will be
changed to make way for the me-
mortal.
A section of the basin will be
filled in for a distance of about
100 feet, it was learned, and later
more cherry trees will be planted
to replace those being torn up by
the builders.

Three of the sweet-gum stack-poles

to be bit smaller than a regular
corn crib or house mouse. 1t made me

I saw some months ago about the
story of the country mouse visiting
