Copp and Bafhang come from Pe oria where they toiled under Bill Jackson last year, lUafhang was Jackson's lead-off man at Peoria. "He isas fast as lightning," declared Jackson, "and therefore a great'lead off man. He hit .292 in the Three-I last year. He's had experience and is a good man.

Imminence of Secretary McAdoo's announce ment of the size and interest rate of the third Liberty loan to open April 6, gave special importance today to a treasury announcement of govern ment receipts and expenditures, from which might be calculated with fair accuracy the sum the government would need before the end of the fis cal year, June 30. Outstanding features of these fig ures, as unofficially analyzed were that war costs are not increasing from month to month, as had been ex pected, and that ordinary expenses and loans to allies in the next three and one-third months probably will not be much over $4,000,000. To this must be added the necessary outlay of about $3,155,000,000 to redeem certificates of indebtedness now out standing and maturing before June 36; $500,000,000 for a railroad ad ministration revolving fund; $500, 000,000 for the government's capital in tlie. ar finance corporation whose creation is expected soon, and $500, 000,000 to provide a current working balance at the end of the year. These would make a total of $8,655,000,000 needed betwpen now and June 30. On the other side of the books might be placed the $853,000,000 working balance on hand today; $2,316,000,000 estimated receipts from income and ercess profits taxes and other internal revenue sources; $75,- 000,000 estimated miscellaneous re ceipts; $43,000,000 estimated costums receipts; approximately $200,000,000 revenue expected from sale of war saving stamps and thrift stamps, and $500,000,000 to be received in the next three days from a current issue of certificates. These would make a total of nearly $4,500,000,000 which might be expected to flow into the treasury between now and June 30 from other sources than the Liberty loan. On the basis of calculation the dif ference to be provided for would be between $4,000,000,000 and $5,000,000, 000. This sum is much less than had been calculated in the past as neces sary on he basis of estimated ex penditures ' or government depart ments and loans to allies." sell the very latest SENATORS' OPPOSE $2.50 WHEAT PRICE Pomeren of Ohio, Democrat Declares Present Guarantee of $2.20 Prescribed by Wilson Ample.' Washington, March 20. Opposition to the , proposal to make , $2.50 per bushel, the government price guaran tee for. 1918 wheat opened today in the senate, after nearJy three , days debate by senators from the western agricultural states in favor of the in crease. Action was deferred, again, with supporters of the legislation confident of securing a majority, but doubtful about the two thirds vote necessary toiadd it to the pending agricultural appropriation bill. Senator Pomerene of Ohio, demo crat, spoke at length against any in crease, declaring that the , price of $2.20 prescribed by President Wilson's recent proclamation was ample. He said proposals in congress for. 'in creases had caused wheaf hoarding, and suffering by the allies, and. that the situation came mostly from states, where the last crop was below normal An increase, he added, would - mean higher bread prices for. consumers, already suffering from the high cost of living. Senator Gore of' Oklahoma, author of , the propsed amendment, inter rupted to point out that under the administration railroad control bill, the railroads may go into court to have just compensation fixed for their properties taken over by the govern ment, and to ask if farmers should have siipilar privileges. When Senator Pomerene replied that the govern ment has commandeered the railroads . Senators Gore and Reed insisted that ' by price fixing wheat also virtually has been commandeered. Admitting that the food adminis trationjhas made some minor mis takes, Senator Pomerene added: "On the whole Mr. Hoover hat done a great service to the people of this country and to the allies." If.it had not been for wheat con trol, Senator Pomerene said, flout would be $25 a barrel. Senator Reed declared' millions o! bushels of wheat had been held bad from the market by lack of trans portation, and Senator Wadswortk of New York said the food adminis trator has ordered curtailment ol millers' purchases and closed mills all r over the country, preventing farmers from selling. mod- ;
