CHICAGO GRAIN AMI PROVISION'S.
Switchmen's Strike Cause Advance In Grain
and Provisions,
Chicago, July , 21. Unmmtne regarding
tb effect of the switchmen' strike had
much to do today with a sharp advance that
took plnce hi prices of grain and provision.
Short In the corn trade were especially
dlaturbed over the disturbance which the
strike had suddenly brought about In (hip
ping arrangements. Continuance of dry, hot
weather in the southwest counted also a
a bullish Influence. Purchasing waa on a
large scale.
Opening prices, which varied from the
same a yesterday' finish to Ifto higher.
with September at 11.63 and December at
$1.174 to $1.18, were followed by a Jump
to about 2o up In the active deliveries.
Still higher level wero .reached substan
tially ami there wa no Important setback.
The market closed strong at 4W4o net ad
vance, with September at 01.63 and De
cember at $1. 19V401. UK.
Wheat rose In sympathy with corn. Trad
ing, however, wa very light. After open
ing 4o higher at $2.21 for September, the
market reacted to $2,38.
In later dealings the market gathered
fresh strength, especially fur the July op
tion. Prices closed unsettled, 908a net
higher at $2.(0 for July and $2.29 for Sep
tember, 1
Shorts and commission bouses were bid
ding eagerly against each other for oat.
Reports continued that the Dutch govern
ment wa calling for immediate aeaboard
loading of all the grain that bad been pur
chased for Holland.
Provision responded to an advance In the
hog market, a circumstance due In turn
to the strike having previously curtailed ar
rivals or hogs.

to be no world's series this year as a

WAR BILL FIRST YEAR
MAY BE 16 BILLIONS
Secretary McAdoo's Revised
Totals Indicate Budget Al
ready Eleven Billions
Exclusive of Loans.
: Washington", July 28. Estimating
the cost of the war for the coming
year at $10,735,807,000 exclusive of
loans to the allies, the administration
informed congress today that new
revenues totalling $7,000,000,000 must
be raised from taxation or issuance
of securities.
. If advancement of credit to the al
lies is continued at the present rate
the years's total expenditures will
pass $15,000,000,000 and the amount
of additional revenue required will
increase accordingly
How congress will meet the enor
mous new revenue requirements re
mains to be determined, but there is a
distinct sentiment in favor of offset
ting most of the expenditures by
bond issues.
Many leaders on both sides of the
capitol predicted toriight that not
more than $2,000,000,000 of the $7,
000,000,000 asked would be raised by
taxation and that the remainder
might be met partially by bond sales
and partially by issuance of treas
ury certificates of indebtedness.
Cost of Army Equipment
Equipment and stores for the na
tional army, particularly artillery, will
require the lion s share of appropria
tions under the administration's es
timates. Of the year's total of $10,-
735,807,000 the wa' department alone
expects to spend $7,864,240,000 or
$5,319,000,000 more than has been ap
propriated thus far for its expenses
during the year.
the navy expects to spend $1,200,-
000,000 of which $286,000,000 remains
to be appropriated. The shipping
board, whose ship building projects
place it third on the list, expects to
spend $799,000,000 of which $350,000,-
000 remains to be appropriated.
Ihese figures cover the cost ot the
war from July 1, last to June 30, next.
They do not include the money spent
arior to the first of this month.
Estimated receipts for the , yar
were placed by Secretary McAdoo, in
transmitting the estimates to the
house ways and means and senate
finance committees, at $1,333,500,000.
This estimate of receipts did not in
clude revenues to be raised under the
pending war tax bill, estimated by
democratic leaders in congress at
$1,670,670,000. Revision of the bill
will begin immediately to embody
whatever additional taxation it may
be deemed best to impose as a result
of the 'new estimates.
Tremendous as are the estimated
expenses of the government for the
year, the appropriations actually
sought by the various departments
are placed above these totals in or
der to orovide a margin of safety.
Thus .the war department, expecting
to spend $7,764,240,000, asks for ap
propriations totalling $8,673,368,000,
and the na department estimating
its expenditures at $1,200,000,000 asks
for appropriations of $1,324,178,000.
More Than Sixteen Billions
Total appropriations sought by all
departments aggregated $11,651,193,
993 or nearly $1,000,000,000 more than
estimated expenditures. Should this
suni be authorized by congress with
an additional $4,500,000,000 for the
allies, which would be necessary to
keep up the present rate of loans
totalling $500,000,000 a month, the to
tal to be raised by bond issues arfd
additional taxation for the current
fiscal year would be more than $16,-
000.000.000. It has been indicated
that additional authorization for loans
will not be requested of congress tin
til the new sessions begins in De
cember. With estimated expenditures of
$10,735,807,000 as the basis for com
putation, the following deductions
from the total of estimated expendi
tures were made in reaching the $7,-
000,000.000 total of new revenues
needed: .
Income for the year under existing
aws. $1,333,500,000.
Bonds authorized under the war
finance bill of April 25, but not is
sued $2,000,000,000.
From customs duties $225,000,000;
from ordinary internal revenue, squrc
es $650,000,000 from the income tax
$350,000,000; from miscellaneous tax
es and other items $70,000,000; Pan
ama canal tolls $7,000,000 and depos
its to retire national bank notes, an
item which is represented by the
same figure on the credit side of the
ledger, $30,000,000. No suggestions
on recommendations as to methods
for raising the money- were made by
Mr. McAdoo. He probably will ad
vise later, however, with the finance
committee which wrestled all of to
day with, the war finance problems
and will meet tomorrow for further
discussion. Radical differences of
opinion exist within the committee
regarding the future financial burden.
Some prominent senators insist mai
despite the secretary's figures, at
least $8,000,000,000 addi'tional revenue
must be found.
Revise War Tax Bill
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
committee .said "tonight that he ex
pected" the war tax bill would be re
vised promptly to provide for the
$7,000,000,000 asked by the secretary,
although by far the greater part
would be in bond authorizations. Ihe
latter, many members believe, must
bear interest at four per cent in
stead of three" and one half per cent
as in - the case of Jhe liberty loan.
With sentiment crystalizing toward
increasing the tax levy provided in
the bill to $2,000,000,000 the increase
of $330,000,000 is expected to be
made up largely of higher levies up
on incomes, war excess profits and
possibly tobacco. A few minor new
taxes also may be adopted. Senator
Simmons hopes to complete the re
vision by the middle of next week
and have the senate proceed immed
iately to its consideration.

B-r-r! The Last Thing'in the World
That Major Hersey Enjoys is a Fan
As he sits at his desk in the head
quarters building at Fort Omaha,
mopping his perspiring brow and
hopefully watching for a drop of the
mercury in the office thermometer,
Major H. 1. Hersey, acting com
mander of the fort, should be able
to cool off at once by just letting
his memory run back to eleven years
ago.
Brr! It makes, us shiver to think
6f it. In the summer of 1906 about
the iast gift Major Hersey would
have appreciated was a fan. He was
dressed in all the fur and woolen
garments he could comfortably
carry. There was no ice cooler
around; .neither didhe miss one.
For it was then that he assisted in
the famous Wellman polar expedi
tion, when an attempt was made to
reach the pole by balloon from
Spitzbergen.
He was executive officer of thij ex
pedition. Ballooning has always been
his Jiobby and he has other balloon
feats to his credit. He assisted Ma
jor Frank Lahm in winning the
James Gordon Bennett cup in the
international balloon races at Paris
in 1906. In the international race at
St. Louis, 1907. he sailed the balloon
United States across Lakes Michi
gan, St. Qair and Erie, landing in
Canada.
Before he took up ballooning Ma
jor Hersey managed to find other
outlets for his courage and energy.
In the Spanish-American war he won
his title when he' helped Roosevelt
lead the Rough Riders through Cuba.
He is distinguished intellectually as
well, being a government expert on
meteorological matters.
He has been for years connected
with the weather bureau and recently
had been commissioned to establish
a line of weather bureau observation
statiens around the Caribbean sea, on
the coast line of upper South Amer
ica, Central America and the West

when he was accused by Sheriff Willis
liaker, who arrested him.. He said he
does not know why he committed the

trade Keep's high-priced car for a
Ford. This aroused the agent's sus
picions and an attempt was made to
arrest Smith, but he escaped into a
wood south of town.

Topeka and ascertained that the car
belonged to E. A. Keep of Garden
City, who owns an auto livery. Rela-,
tivesbf Keep in Garden City informed
Baker that Keep had been missing for
three days and that he had left on an
overland trip with Smith.
Efforts to find Smith were re
doubled and he was apprehended late
today at Garfield.
That the murder was planned be
fore Smith and Keep left Garden City
is the assertion of Sheriff Baker. They
base their statement on the fact that a
package of enamel, a piece of sand
paper and a brush were found in
Smith's possession. The Keep initials
had been scraped from the car and
painted over.
Smith has a wife in Garden City,
He has been there two months, com
ing there from Beatrice.
