CAPITAL RESENTS REPOR Deficit Left by Democrats Will Ne cessitate Hearier JTjr, Declare Administration Officials. BOISE.- Idaho. Aug. 14. (Special.) The state capital was in somewhat o an uproar last weelt over the charge that state taxes are to be trebled tor 1S20 and 1921. Flat denial is made by the administration headed by Governor D. W. Davis. It is admitted that before the state board of equalisation completes its nrauni task taxes may be raised, but a treble increase is denied. The ten rl trend has been upward in the matter of state expenses. AdKlaUtratloa Inherit Deficit. The present administration, which is republican in complexion, innemeu deficit of 11.000.000 from the retiring; democratic administration. The party then found itself financially em barraassed by the war and increased hikiih with funds insufficient to meet the situation. Annroxlmatelr K.300.000 must be raised for taxes, in excess of the tl.222, 13S.J0 raised in 191S. The causes are set forth as follows: Appropriations for the maintenance of the state government in lsn-je to taled J3.806.0S1.

The state in 1918 raised 81.222.ia2.lS la taxes among the property owners and the public utilities in the several counties. This year It must raise a to tal of approximately I3.384.19S. The ad valorem tax fixed by the legisla ture In 1917 for that year and 1918 was 82.000.000. The ad valorem tax fixed by the last legislature was the same amount in addition to an ad valorem tax for the general fund out of which running expenses are paid. "The present administration found Itself confronted with unpaid bills and deficiency warrants running to (1.000.000 when it came into office." said one of the members of the board of equalisation. Drain) Treasury Heavy. These, of course, constitute legal claims against the state and have to be paid. The result was that at the outset the financial drain on the treas ury was unusually heavy. "In addition to that, the legislature authorised certain tax levies to take cart of certificates of indebtedness , which had to be issued to finance the state government. There was also a levy for the construction of highways. Of course, there has been a steady in crease in the cost of all materials and labor which the state has been forced to meet. "Many of the assessors showed a de crease in their estimates this year from last year. This was a surprise to the board. All of them should have shown an increase, considering the improve ments made. Board Ralaee Asaesameata. lt became necessary for the board to raise the reported assessments on real and other property. Of course, there was a protest, but it could not be helped. There seemed to be no good reason why the assessment rolls of the counties should show a decrease. "in this and other ways adjustments were made to raise the assessed valua tion of the state. Taxes will be high er as the result of the board's action, but they will not be as high as it is claimed or treble the taxes of a year ago." The 2-mlll tax levy authorised by the last legislature to raise funds for the construction of good roads Is the first of its kind In the history of the state. Heretoiore good road money has been raised either through direct appropria tion or by counties. was one of the speakers at the Pres byterian General Assembly in St. Louis. On reaching Scotland Dr. Kelraan cabled to the committee that if the pulpit were still vacant and the con gregation called him unanimously he i would accept the calL He had pre viously declined several invitations to to remain in Scotland. Dr. Kelman served at the front with the British Y. II. C. A. For his services he was made a member of the Order of the British Empire. He is 65 years old, is married and has one daughter, who is the wife of the Rev. John Hay, a missionary in China. He was educated at the Royal high school, Edinburg university and New College. For three years he trav eled in Australia. Then, upon receiv ing his degree of New College, he was made assistant to Dr. George Adam Smith, later rector of Aberdeen univer sity. Dr. Kelman was ordined as minister in Aberdeenshire In 1890. For ten years he was minister of New North church (United Free Presbyterian), Edinburg. He is the author of many books and is a frequent contributor to the re ligious periodical press. Among his books are "The Holy Land," 'The Faith of Robert Louis Stevenson," "Honor Toward God." 'The Light That Saves," "From Damascus to Palmyra," The Courts of the Temple," "Ephe meral Eternltates," 'The Road, a Study of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress," "Among Famous Books," "Salted With Fire" and a volume of war sermons. He is not given to flights of oratory, but his sermons are models of con struction and clothed in beautiful dic tion. His preaching follows the method of the logician, but there is nothing of the cold formalism of Harry Fosdick, for Instance. Like most of the Scotch preachers, he Illustrates his argument with anecdote and with emotional appeal. His voice is pow erful and well modulated. Dr. HalL an Irishman, perhaps the best-known cf the foreign preachers to be called by the Fifth avenue church, was known internationally be fore he began his ministry there, I 1867. It was stipulated in his call that he was to receive what was then an almost unprecedented ministerial sa ary, (10.000. It was during his pas torate that the great building at Fifth avenue and Fifty-fifth street was erected. Dr. Jowett came in 1911 from Carr' Lane chapel. Birmingham. England. This pulpit had been occupied by such men as R. W. Dale and John Angell James. Dr. Jowett, whose English church was of Congregationalist per- suasion, was eagerly welcomed to the presbytery of New York. He soon es- abllsned himself in the front rank America's pulpit orators. He was sel dom heard in other pupits. Occasloan ally he would address conventions of ministers. But he was opposed to the principle of pulpit exchanges, saying he was called to minister to a partlcu lar parish. Repeatedly he was called to English churches, but he declined to Interrupt his work in New York. Before America entered the war h made eloquent pleas from his pulpit in behalf of the allied cause. Then th British government came to see that he was a valuable asset to its cause and efforts to induce him to return were deprecated. When America en tered the struggle he said he felt that he could return without any embar rassment. His contention from the start has been that the war was a holy war and it was a Christian duty to light on the side of the allies. In 1918 Westminster chapel (Congre gational), in London, called him to the pastorate in succession to Campbell Morgan. The King, Lloyd George and others joined in a request that he ac cept. SLAYER OF HUSBAND SUCCUMBS TO GRIEF Mrs. Beauregard Says There': No More Peace for Her. WOMAN REMAINS IN JAI Washington State Law Now Permits Capital Punishment, but Execu tion in Her Case Doubted. VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 24. (Spe clal.) No matter what verdict the jury in the superior court returns in the case of Mrs. J. J. Beauregard, charged with killing her husband, she will never again enjoy a moment's peace, she says. After being unusually stoical for a time she has broken down completely and succumbed to grief. Mrs. Beauregard shot her husband in COTTON NEED RECOGNIZED SCOT PnSTJMS CALLED CHURCH GOES ACROSS WATER TO GET MINISTER. New Economies Necessary to Offset Cost of Production. NEW TOR. Europe recognises the need of a well-organized world asso ciation of cotton and textile interests to guide the industry along; progressive lines and to point the way informally to real needs, according to Walter Parker, secretary of the New Orleans chamber of commerce, who returned re cently from Europe. Mr. Parker acted as vice-president of the delegation of Americans who went to Europe to study cotton trading conditions and to interest European in the worm cotton conference to D held in New Orleans in October. The mission was a success, he eaid. as it was realized that new economies were necessary to offset the increased cost-of production. He announced the governments of England, Belgium, France. Switzerland and Holland would send formal delegations and that inde pendent groups from various cities would attend, also representatives from Egypt and India. Belgium will be the first European country to resume her pre-war footing commercially, in Mr. Parker's opinion. He added that he had suggested to business men of that country that they exchange vegetable oils, crude rubber, and Ivory from their Congo colonies for raw cotton from the Lnited States, as such a plan would al low her to resume manufacturing and would also permit her to develop rap idly her rich Congo lands. One of Foremost Preachers of World Is Chosen to Succeed Pleader for Allied Cause In Pulpit. - NEW TORK. Although the congre gation has not taken the formal action necessary, it seems certain that Dr. Jowett's successor in the pastorate of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church will be Dr. John Kelman. pastor of tit. George's Free church, Edinburgh. Scotland. Thus this church, fot, the third time In the memory of many of its present membership, will have gone to the United Kingdom for its minister. Becaues of the unusually brilliant paxtorate of Dr. Jowet his recall to England, which was at the urgent so licitation of King George and Premier Lloyd George, has focused the atten tion of thousands upon the church's vacant pulpit. The fact that the pul pit supply committee has decided upon a foreigner will occasion some disap pointment for many who held the view that this most important of Presby terian churches should be presided over by an American. Others take the view that any such attitude as this is provincial and that no lines of nation alism should be drawn. Dr. Kelman la Dr. Jowett's own choice. He Is heralded as one of the foremost preachers of Christendom. In the United Kingdom his name Is a household word and he is In great de mand In all parts of England as well as in Scotland. He is known as a conservative In theology, which means that he will not give utterance to any startling Inter pretations of the Scriptures. But it is almost inconceivable that a radical would even be considehed for this pas torate. Nearly two weeks ago a meeting of the commltttee on pastor waa held in the office of George B. Agnew, at 22 William street. Thirty of the 44 mem bers of the committee attended. They voted unanimously to call Dr. Kelman and directed that a notice of the con gregational meeting be read from the pulpit. Dr. Kelman was In America last spring, having been invited to deliver the Lyman Beecher lectures at Yale. Afterward he toured the country and LADY HOBO SHOCKS PEOPLE Genuine Woman Tramp Is Xot Un like Male Variety. CHILLICOTHE. Mo.

His Revelations Will Startle the World Ludendorff, arch-Teuton militarist, admits that f rom 1916 on the German cause was hopeless. He lays bare the impotence and weakness of both the German armies and the. imperial statesmen. The Teuton side of the war has been shrouded in mystery and up to the present time, no one who knows has spoken. We know "so much of our own side of the great struggle. Germany was so silent about her internal troubles and defeats, always emphasizing her temporary successes that it seemed at times as if the balance of victory was all on her side. But Ludendorff discloses the real condition of Germany just before and during the war. His story will be. complete the his tory of every-battle and campaign.

CREASE IX V. S. IX- Ten Billions Represents Gain in Six- Year Period Since 1913, Be fore Conflict Began. WASHINGTON. The war period has witnessed the largest increase of bank ing resources in the national banks ever known in any country. A statement made public by John Skelton Williams, comptroller of the currency, gives in detail a survey of the marvelous growth of banking pow- the United States is shown by returns from the national banks in re sponse to the last bank call of May 2. 1919. The return shows resources of $20.- 25.000.000, exceeding by $783,000,000 resources reported on Dec. 31, 1918, which up to that time had been the greatest in the history bf the national banking system. These resources also exceed by $807,000,000 the resources of March 4. 1919. and are $2,575,000,000 ahead of the figures of May 10, 1918. The official records show, states the comptroller, "that increase in re sources since the call of Aug. 9, 1913, x years ago, has been nearly 110,- 000,000,000. or to be exact, 9,948,000.000. This huge increase has taken place concurrently with the successful flota- on and collection of about $25,000.- 000,000 of government bonds and short term obligations, the majority of hich, it appears, were placed through the agency of the national banks.

In all other reserve cities report ing an increase, the increase since March 4. 1919. in no one city exceeded $10,000,000. The principal increases in country national banks were: New York. $20,000,000; California. $17,000, 000; Indiana, $13,000,000: Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. $10,000,000 each.

Kansas should soon have enough of a home-grown variety of wheat to sow all the tremendous acreage of wheat in this state. Kan red is the .name of a variety of wheat developed by the Kansas Agricultural college. The tests made, covering a period of years in the development of the wheat, showed that it would pro duce one to three bushels more per acre than the ordinary hard Ted Tur key wheat, the variety which made Kansas famous. The original seed came from the Crimea, but the Kanred has been developed through the cross ing of different varieties of the Rus sian wheats with specially selected berries of wheat grown in this state. There were about 30.000 acres or Kanred wheat sown last fall, and 21.230 acres will produce seed exclusively this year, making sufficient seed to sow close to 500,000 acres next fall. In purchasing the Beed the farmers agree not to sell any wheat for milling pur poses for one year, but to sell it all for seed. The agricultural college is now at work examining the wheat in the growing fields to determine the amount of mixture with other varieties of wheat, the presence of rye. oats and weeds in the fields, and later will in spect the berries to see how close the new crop comes to the standard type. This wheta combines the deep red of the Turkey and Russian wheats with a hard outer coating and great produc tive powers. GIRTH INCBEASESUSPICIOUS Yourfg Women In Colorado Attempt to Smuggle Whisky.

Garner of the Smithsonian Institution of Washington D. C has found in the French Congo a "man-monkey" or "talking ape." lend interest to a communication sent by the late theodore Roosevelt to the Na tional Geographic society telling of the pre-human ape man of Java, who lived some 600,000 years ago, and marked an upward stake in the evolution of man Colonel Roosevelt's famous jungle hunt was in the vicinity of Professor Garner's travels, as they are described in newspaper dispatches, and the Roose velt big game is mounted in tne bmitn sonian Institution with which Professor Garner is associated. Regarding this "ape-man" of Java, one of many "missing links" in human evolution. Colonel Roosevelt wrote to the National Geographic society. "This being was - already half way upward from the beast, half way be tween true man and those mlocene ancestors of his, who were still on the psychic and intellectual level of their diverging kinsfolk, the anthropoid apes. "He, or some creature like him, was in our line of ascent during those un counted ages when our ancestors were already different from all other brutes and yet had not grown to be . really man.

He was a chinless being, whose Jaw was still so primitive that it must have made his speech imperfect; and he was so much lower than any existing savage as to be at least specifically distinct that is, he can be called "human" only if the word is- used with, a certain largesse. "Again we make a long skip this time of somewhat over a hundred thou sand years and come to the Piltdown man, or near-man a being, seemingly a little farther advanced than the man of Heidelberg, and in some ways less so, for he possesses ape-like canine teeth. "The next race was that of the Neanderthal men, much more modern and more advanced, but lower than any existing savage, and specifically dis tinct from modern man.

Seven hours of each day of the Italian housekeeper must be devoted to buying food. The nroblem of the ordinary American housekeeper paie into insignificance even with their troublesome servants when compared to the Italian. Domestic servants strikes in Italy are chronic. The recent upheaval in Italian eco nomics when the government ordered prices of foodstuffs and clothing re duced 50 per cent has begun its reac tlon and the factor affected most is the housekeeper. She must start to market at 7 o'clock in the morning and is forced to hurry from one store to another. To obtain a piece of meat usually takes two hours. To obtain bread about an hour, egg3 two hours, vegetables one hour and a half and canned goods about an hour. The housekeepers' day starts by plac ing nerseit at the back ot a long line of waiting customers. The line some times extends for a half block, guard ed by armed carabineers. When the buyer is permitted to enter the store she finds inside a scramble for all sorts of commodities. Guards are sta tioned there to prevent any mischief. If she obtains what she wants she is lucky. She treads over the streets a whole morning searching: for the things for lunch and then, in the afternoon, must start on the hunt again for food. If she is looking for butter she is usually disappointed, for there is little to be had. She may obtain meat, but is usually thankful to go away with a can of American "bully-beef." It often happens that her family must miss a meal, but that is usually overlooked. It is too evident on every hand. Housekeepers sometimes watch a car of produce unloaded at the railroad sta tion and follow the motor trucks to the store where the produce will be sold. When a carload of eggs trrived the other day women clung to the trucks carrying the eggs to stores, while oth ers ran alongside. At the stores the clerks stood in doorways and handed out the eggs, three only to a customer. Some customers reached over others heads with their hats, while others pushed aside the weaker ones.
