Someone witha perverted sense ot
humor broke into the classroom,
scattered papers all over the place,
rifled the desks and, as a final mali

START FISCAL YEAR
WITH HUGE DEFICIT
"Gone Mad on Conceiving
New Questions That , Will
Reach Into Federal Treas
ury," McCumber Says.
Washington, Jan. 21. Congress
held its "thrift week" celebration
Wednesday, a wave of economy
sweeping both the senate and house.
The result was:
Decision by the house public
buildings committee not to recom
mend passage at this session of a
public buildings bill.
Reduction by the house foreign
affairs committee of the annual di
plomatic and consular service ap
propriations bill to $8,84.1,038, which
is $3,085,125 less than the State de
partment's request and $1,320,0000
less than was appropriated for the
present fiscal year.
Eliminate $42,500,000.
Elimination by the senate of an
appropriation of $42,500,000 from the
Americanization bill and substitu
tion therefor of an appropriation of
$6,500,000 restricted to use until the
end of the 1921 fiscal year instead
of an expenditure over four years as
the larger appropriation contem
plated, f
Senator McCumber, said thaf ac
cording to careful estimates the gov
ernment would start the fiscal year
beginning Tuly 1, with a deficit of
$3,000,000,000. . Should expenditures
for 1921 be kept within the conserva
tive estimate of $6,000,000,000 the
senator thought they might be pro
vided for, but there would be noth
ing left to take care of the left-over
deficit.
Gone Mad on Spending.
"We have gone mad on the ques
tion of conceiving new questions
that will reach into the federal treas
ury," sard Senator McCumber, re
ferring to the Americanization bill
which is designed to educate illiter
ates and Americanize foreign-born
citizens. "The only thing that will
stop it will be when we get to the
end of the rooe and have to bond
the country to meel expenses."
In cutting down appropriations in
the diplomatic and consular service
bill the house committee denied Sec
retary Lansing's request for in
creases in the salaries of ambassa
dors and ministers. The only in
crease granted over present expendi
tures were a flat $1,000 advance in
salaries to secretaries of - embassies
and legations and an additional item
of $250,000 for passport control,
bring the total for that purpose
up to $440,431.
The drastic cutin appropriations
for rivers and harbors improvements,
ordered by thS house rivers and har
bors committee in paring down the
annual appropriation bill for that
purpose from $42,9000,000 to $12,
400,000, continued to arouse mem
bers of the house and minority com
mittee today, who began the draft
ing of a substitute bill which would
appropriate $25,000,000.

London, Jan. 21. (By The Asso
ciated Press The prince of Wales
was the guest tonight at a large and
enthusiastic dinner of the Pilgrims.
More than 300 persons were pres
ent. The prince made a speech and
reaffirmed his intention to revisit
America, particularly the middle
west and far west, saying that the
best proof that one had enjoyed
a visit was his earnest desire tare
peat it
Responding to Baron Des
borough's toast, the prince said:
"Two months ago to the day, I
was very hospitably entertained by
the American Pilgrims at New York
and they were going very strong in'
deed. When Desborough said that
I am domiciled in England, I think
it wouldhave been more correct to
say I am domiciled in the British
empire.
"I visited the naval academy at
Annapolis and the military academy
at West Point. The visits were
very interesting to me, as I had been
associated with the United States
army and navy during the war. It
was that association that made it
possible for me not to feel a stran
ger.
Had Wonderful Time.
"I had a wonderful time and I
was very touched by the demonstra
tions of good will, not only on my
own account, but because they
were given me as the king's repre
sentative and to the British people
as a whofc. This made me realize
that only personal contact is need
ed to prevent any .misunderstanding
between the American democracy
and our own.
The cordiality has not ceased lie
cause of fny departure. I am still
receiving most charming letters, and
I may add, not all of them from
the fair sex." This occasioned much
lauphter. x '
"There is only one way of showing
that one has enjoyed a visit. That is
by repeating it. I therefore propose
taking the hrst opportunity of pay
ing another visit to the United
States. I am afraid I do not know
when that may be. I hone that then
I may have 'the opportunity of see
ing something of the far west and
of the middle west and of the other
cities and places'! had no time to
visit last November.
Same Good Will Obtains.
"In conclusion, may I say I sin
cerely hope that personal contact
between the British empire and the
great American republic may rapidly
develop. We have the same lan
guage, the same type of democratic
institutions and the same good will
towards all people.
"I thank you for having enter
tainedme this evening and I wish all
success to all branches of the Pil
grims society. It has done and is
doing so much to promote and foster
continued friendship, good will and
understanding between the peoples
of the two great English-speaking
nations."
The earl of Reading, lord chief
justice and former- ambassador to
the United States, in toasting "our
American cousins" humorously re
marked that perhaps he should have
invited the Pilgrims to drink the
toast in water.
BRYAN TO FIGHT
WET CHOICE FOR
THE PRESIDENCY
Asserts in Speech He Will Also
Oppose Cummings for Na
tional Chairman.
Norfolk, Va., Jan. 21. William
Jennings Bryan, speaking here un
der the auspices of the Anti-saloon
Leagueof America,. declared that he
would oppose any movement to
bring about the selection of Gov.
Edward I. Edwards of New Jefsey,
as the democratic nominee for pres
ident in 1920. ,
The former secretary of state as
serted that if the address made by
Homer S. Cummings, chairman of
the democratic national committee,
at the dinner held in Newark, in
honor of the newly inaugurated New
Jersey executive, correctly, expressed
the chairman's attitude, ,he would op
pose him for chairman of the na
tional committee.
"Edwards has picked out my own
state, Nebraska, to launch his cam
paign in," declared Mr. Bryan. "But
if Nebraska instructs for Edwards,
I'll never be a delegate to the na
tional convention."
Referring to the address made
by Chairman Cummings, Mr. Bryan
said:
"If that is Cummings' attitude
he'll never be chairman of the demo
cratic committee if I can help it."
Senate Cannot Demand
Income of Individuals
Washington, Jan. 21. The senate
has no authority to demand of the
secretary of the treasury information
regarding the income of individuals
under the income tax act. Vice Pres
ident Marshall ruled in declaring out

Harris, democrat, Georgia, ' asking
for information regarding the earn
ings and income of bituminous and
lignite coal operators in 1918. The
point of order was made by Senator

was walking through the street when
the shooting occurred, He stood
and watched the gathering crowd,
not knowing what had happened.
A dispatch from Buries says the
disturbances there arose out of re
taliation for the shooting of a con
stable. In some cases hand gre
nades were thrown into houses and
shots were fired through doors and
windows.
"The residence of Charles Cul
hane, president of the Sinn Fein
club," says . the dispatch, "was

By E. C. SNYDER.
WanliluKton Correspondent of the.
Omaha Bee.
Washington, Jan. 21. (Special
Telegram.) Gov. Robert E. Carey
of" Wyoming is certain that Wyo
ming will give a republican plurali
ty in the next election, and that the
next president will be republican.
He is attending the conference 'of
governors who- are seeking to in
duce congress to part with some
thing like $250,000,000 for irrigation
purposes. Regarding political sen
timent in his state, Governor Carey
said:
"It is altogether likely that the
Wyoming delegation to the Chicago
convention will go there unin
structed and unpledged. While the
sentiment among republicans has
not crystallized, it appears to be cen
tering around .General. Pershing.
General Wood and Governor Low
den., These three seem to be the
leading candidates in Wyoming just
now.
"There is no doubt that General
Pershing hr.s gained very greatly.
Whether he will be a candidate or
not, he has developed much strength.
I had no idea of the popularity of
the commander of the expeditionary
forces until I saw the reception
given him in Cheyenne a short tims
ago.
"It was my privilege to ride With
the general, as I did with President
Wilson, and there was no compari
son in the receptions given the two
men. The greeting to General Per
shing was simply astonishing.' It.
was real and amounted to an ova
tion. I do not believe there is any
real sentiment among the western
people, particularly among the sol
diers, against any officer. It has
been my observation that most men
rather favor i man they know or
know of." '

. St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 21. Gov
ernor Burnquist tonight, after final
hearing, had under consideration
questions in the most unusual Min
nesota requisition case, that of Will
iam and Mike Finn, brothers living
in St. Paul, accused of complicity in
the $110,000 robbery December 31 of
a bank in Benson, a suburb of Om
aha,..Neb. That of John (Curley) Finn, the
third brother, on a like charge was
dismissed on motion of prosecuting
officials after a strong alibi had been
presented in his behalf.
Governor Burnquist will decide
probably Thursday whether to grant
or deny requisition for William and
Mike Finn, whether to credit the tes
timony of about 15 men, women and
children, that they saw the accused
men in St. Paul on the day of the
Benson, bank robbery, and also the
day before and the day after, or the
testimony of seven Omaha witnesses

Members of New York State,
Assembly Under Fire Called
"Hired Agents of a Group of
Aliens" by Littleton.
Albany, K. Yv Jan. 21. Investiga-" ;
tfon of the loyalty of the five sus-
pended socialist assemblymen was
asserted at their trial today before
the assembly judiciary committee to-'
involve the question as to whether
socialists "can l'vpocritically mas
querade as a political party, strik
hands with every agency of force 1
and revolution and still make simple
American people understand they
are not the sworn enemies of their
conntrv and readv to overthrow it."
V This assertion was made by Mar--
tin W. Littleton, who withdrew tem- j
nofarily todav as associate counsel
for the committee to handle the ease
of United States Senator Truman;
H. Newberry of Michigan, in con- ,
iiection with whose election charge
of fraud have been brought.
Taking the floor in the height o!
an oratorical battle in which conn-
sel for both sides unlimhered thefr'
heaviest artillery, Mr. Littleton de-;
clared the present investigation will j
not prove "a tempest in a teapot"
Conspires With Soviet." - j
He charged that Trotzky and
nine are attempting -installation in
America of the soviet form of gov
ernment and that before the waves
of public opinion stirred by this case
have subsided "this country will un
derstand that this so-called politi
cal party is the agent and cocon
spirator with the dark forces of the
invisible empire, whose object ia
forcible destruction of constitu-j
tional government in America." '
Opposing a motion that charcet
against the five socialists be nis'-;
missed, Yr, Littleton declared that',
"the representation with reference!
to what these five men did and what
they profess and what they engaged
to do stands out as plainly as any-!
thing can stand out that they gave:
their allegiance wholly and solely $9
an alien and invisible empire known
as the "Internationale".
Hired Agents of Aliens.
Mr. Littleton declared that social
ist legislators could be ruled by;
aliens paying party dues, and that:
they are the hired agents of a:
group of aliens, Come to carry ot;j
the plans of the higher agents as farj
as they can in the councils of a free!
