IT I ECONOMY
IS URGED BY LEADER
Debt Reductions Temporary,
Says Representative. '
OFFICIALS NOT BLAMED
fjpenditures Said to Exceed Rev
enue b& 200 Millions in
Xine Months.
"WASHINGTON; April 5. Govern
ment expenditure have exceeded
revenues nfrom all souices" by more
than $200,000,000 during the first nine
months - of this fiscal year and the
reduction of $706,000,000 In the float
ing: debt last month is but a "tempp
rary" condition. Representative Mon
dell, Wyoming, republican leader, de
clared in a- statement. Economy
alone, he said, could avert a "calam
itous crisis." '
Immediately upon the "temporary
reduction" in the floating; debt, Mr.
Mondell declared, the treasury was
"in the market for further loans and
this month must dispose of a further
large volume of temporary certifi
cates." Government financing: by short term
notes, he added, is such as "may
bring: a tremendous increase the very
next day, week or month" after an
i apparent reduction, for a comparative
period.
War Deficit Cited.
Citing: the two and one-half billion
dollar war deficit as "not covered by
bonds or provided for by current reve
nues," the republican leader said that
such a sum to be carried by short
. term notes was "a serious menace at
any time," and particularly when the
country was trying; to recover from
the war.
"The increasing: gravity of the dif
ficulties arising: out of this enormous
volume of indebtedness that must be
renewed from time to time," said Mr.
Mondell, "is indicated by the fact that
while all of these certificates tbat
were offered sold readily in the spring
and summer of 1917, bearing: an in
terest rate of S per cent, less than
$200,000,000 of a recent treasury offer
or certificates at iVs per cent were
sold and the treasury will be in the
market in the. very near future for
loans on short time certificates at
4. with the probabilities that the
rate will have to be further advanced
and may go 'to 6 per cent, or twice
. the interest rate of three years ago."
Officials' Work "Admirable."
Treasury officials, the statement
continued, "have handled a trying: sit
uation most admirably," but they
"cannot avert disaster until we keep
public expenditures within our in
come." An actual reduction of public debt.
Mi". Mondell added, "is necessary dur
ing; the fiscal year beginning; July 1
In order to sustain national credit."
Congress, Mr. Mondell predicted,
would grant appropriations for the
next year for $1,250,000,000 less than
estimated by government departments
which asked for approximately $5,000, -000,000
taf all purposes. -

Three women, none of whom could

OLYMPIC RULES ARE RIGID
, Belgium Plans to Enforce Regula-
- tions to Ietter.
KEW IORK, April 5. Late reports
from Belgium indicate that the Olym
pic games' eligibility rules, always
strictly enforced in the past, will be
observed to the letter in the interna
tional meet at Antwerp next summer.
The slightest flaw in the status of an
athlete will be sufficient to bar him,
according to a statement by Frederick
W. Rubien, secretary of the American I
Olympic- committee. n
The rules governing amateurism are
short but explicit, Mr. Rubien said
Sunday. "They will prevent several
fine athletes now in this country from
competing for the United States, but
as the code affects all nations alike
we cannot complain. The rules fol
low: " 'Admission Only amateur ath
letes to be admitted to the Olympic
games.
" 'Necessary conditions required for
the representation of any given coun
try It is necessary to be a native of
any given country or a naturalized
citizen of same or of the sovereign
power to which said nation forms a
part.
" 'whoever has once tak,en part In
the Olympic games as a citizen of any
given nation cannot be admitted tn
any future 'Olympiad as a candidate
for any other nation, even if he has
been naturalized in that country; save
and accepting cases of conquest and
the creatioti of fresh states, duly rat
ified by the treaty.
" 'In case of naturalization the
naturalized subject must supply ade
quate proofs that he was an amateur
in his native country up to the time
of his coming of nationalisty.' " "

"Animated Electrodes" Generated
by Illness From Canned Fish
Declare Professors.
ALB ANT. N. Y.. April i. (SpeciaY)
Thirty-two convicts in Clinton
prison at Dannemora have been pro
nounced "animated electrodes" by Dr.
J. N. Rosenheau and Dr. W. Ransom",
both of the department of preven
tive medicine of Harvard. The pro
fessors, have discovered that these
men by touching steel produce a tiny
electric spark, while if they touch an
electric bulb with their finger tips,
the filaments vibrate violently.
It took the Harvard professors, as
sisted by Professor Olson of the fed
eral department of agriculture, eight
days to determine how the electricity
produced in these human dynamos
was generated. In a report tonight
to Prison Superintendent Ratttgan,
they say that "the botulinus poison
ing" is responsible.
Some weeks ago 34 of the convicts
were stricken. Two died. The first
assumption was that they had been
drinking wood alcohol, as their vision
had been impaired and they showed
all the symptons accompanying wood
alcohol poisoning. Investigation, how
ever, proved that the men had been
poisoned by canned fish which devel
oped in their systems what Dr. Ran
som, prison physician, describes an
the "deadly botulinus germ." This
germ, the professors report, generates
the electricity. Just how they don't
know.
"One of the peculiar features," said
Dr. Ransom, of the Static Electric Phe
nomena, "is that the patients were able
to magnetize sheets of paper to a re
markable degree. --The paper after be
ing magnetized, would adhere to any
object for hours."
Sixteen of the convicts have been
discharged from the hospital. The
others were' still suffering from
double vision and were surcharged
with electricity.

KEW YORK, April 5. (Special.)
Drizzling rain and skies that threat
ened snow today could not keep- all
of New York Easter parade off Fifth
avenue.
Many women with Easter outfits
more suited for Palm Beach than
Fifth avenue ventured out despite the
weather. Although the paraders were
few, ample proof of "in the spring
a young man's fancy" was in evidence.
Not alone was the young man "fancy,"
he was gaudy, resplendent, gorgeous.
The latest styles in men's clothes
amounts to this: $100 for a business
suit; take it or leave if; $200 for an
evening suit.
Fifth avenue, long known as the
avenue of parades, was desolate with
the exception of the hours just before
church services started and just after
they ended. Even then the- adnual
Easter parade turned into a cortege of
limousines and the only chance the
curious had to glimpse the new gowns
of the church-gowers was when they
went from the different houses of
worship or to their waiting automo
biles and were whisked "home.
Thousand Call Off Parade.
On the other hand, never has New
York known such a borne Easter as
it experienced today.
Thousands of men and women who
had kept tailors and dressmakers bus;
for the last week in preparation for
today looked at the sky, felt the rain
drops and then decided that an after
noon at home would be better than
a drizzly parade up and down the
avenue and the bumpy sidewalks of
upper Broadway.
The hurricane decks of the Fifth
avenue buses were crowded In the
early morning, but those who sought
this vantage point soon gave way to
the weather and taxied to their homes
where the open fireplace or the gas
log was more pleasant.
Coata of Many Colors Worn.
Solomon in all his glory was never
arrayed as some of the members of
the non-deadly sex. There were coats
of many colors and cuts. There were
fancy topped shoes, too, that would
make a barber pole jealous. There
were trousers, tight, baggy and Just
loose. And then the shirts, no word
in the bright lexicon of youth could
describe the rainbow-hued shirts that
inflicted themselves along the avenue
today.
The women in the Easter parade for
the most part wore heavy fur neck
piece with their spring suits and al
most all -carried gaily colored um
brellas and parasols, the sidewalks
along the avenue being dotted with
red and green and purple.
Fifth Avenue Base) Crowded.
The Fifth avenue buses were crowded
and the streets were filled with taxis,
limousines and hansoms. The crowds,
however, in the opinion of the several
policemen, did not equal the week day
traffic nor. did it approximate the
crowds on parade on 'aim Sunday.
An unusual feature of this year's
parade was the predominance of men
as against the comparatively small
number of women in spring garb.
The churches along Fifth avenu
were crowded and the usual throng
was seen pushing Its way along th
avenue and looking for something

Thomas church was well filled be

ustries and of returning to work to
morrow morning. Having more than
50 per cent of the membership of the 1
building trades council, the action of
the carpenters will break the back
bone of the strike, according to master
contractors.
The new contract, which provides
for permanent arbitration through an
djustment board, forbids strikes and
lockouts; provides for changes In the
wage scale in conformity with the
oet of living; eliminates secret agree
ments between employer and employe
as to the cost price of materials or
labor to the public and recognizes
the right of any workman to work
for any employer with whom he may
ecure employment under working
onditions as recognized by the
American Federation of Labor and
provides that wages and conditions
hall be as of February 3 last, pend
ing the organization of the adjust
ment board. The new agreement of
he carpenters provides for the closed
hop and recognition by the employers
of the working rules of the carpen
ters' brotherhood. ,
Aside from the action of the car
penters, there was no change In the
Butte labor situation. The teamsters
met but failed to take any steps which
ould implicate them in either the
uilding trades or cooks and waiters'
dispute.
In the restaurant and hotel em

change. The cafeteria fed more than

article dealing with the situation, says
the security of the Japanese, troops
in Siberia is the paramount question.
The Japanese have received no re
ports regarding the fighting at Niko-

wireless dispatches. These dispatches
said Nikolaievsk was in the hands of
the revolutionists but that there was
no fear as to the safety of the Jap
anese garrison.
Another incident heightening the
feeling between the Japanese and
Russians in Siberia occurred yester
day at NIkolsk, when the Japanese
arrested the station master because
he permitted the movement of freight
by the Russians Independent of Jap
anese sanction. Although troops on
both sides were drawn up, a clash
was averted.
Officials Declare Men . Have Been
Outnumbered for Last Few
Weeks by Two to One.
NEW YORK. April 5. Foreign war
widows, pensioners of their govern
ments and other industrial non-producers,
mostly women, constitute the
larger part of the immigrants coming
to this country, according to a state
ment issued Sunday by the lnter-racial
council.
Immigration officials here state
that women and girls have in the last
few weeks outnumbered the men two,
and sometimes three to one. The fact
appears to be well established, the
council declares, that some of the
foreign governments are enforcing i
policy which encourages the emigra
tion cf women, but places obstacles
in the wayvof able-bodied male work
ers.
Meanwhile, emigration from Amer
ica is made up almost entirely of men
who have given up employment in
factories, mills and mines to return
to their homeland, taking with them
savings estimated conservatively at
$2000 each. Since the signing of the
armistice 275.000 emigrants have left
the country and authorities believe
that approximately 1,125.000 more will
leave when present port regulations
and conditions permit. To consider
the problem the national council of
emigration will be held at New York
next Wednesday attended by repre
sentatives of industry, finance, agri
culture and labor groups. The chief
purpose Is to determine upon a policy
of selective Immigration that win
best serve the country's interests and
to recommend adoption of such a
policy by congress.

by the Everett Central Trades council
was received here Saturday wherein
the council offers $3000 reward for
information leading to the arrest and
conviction of those persons respon
sible for the death of Wesley Everest,
an I. W. W. who was hung.
"The unlawful and uncivilized meth
ods practiced by the mob at Centralia
Wash., on November 11, 1913, should
receive the condemnation of all law
abiding citizens," read the resolutions,
which made no mention of the shoot
ing of the war veterans by I. W. W.
or of the subsequent trial1 and con
viction at Montesano.
The document expressed the belief
"that the official representatives of
the people, entrusted with the au

opinion, made very little effort to
apprehend and punish the guilty par
ties who took part in the mobbing at

Executive. Committee of Social
Democratic Club Makes Plea
for "Political Prisoners.'"
NEW YORK, April 5. A protest
against the expulsion of socialists
from the New York legislature an
an appeal fo ramnesty for certain
classes of political prisoners" wa
made Saturday in a statement issue
by the executive committee of th
Social Democratic club of America.
The- chief danger to the' country a
present, the statement said, "is not
from the red bolshevik!, but from th
white reactionaries, who, under th
cloak of patriotism and 100 per cen
Americanism, are attempting to in
augurate a thoroughly un-Amerlca'n
policy of repression."
"Our American ideals of political
democracy are confronted with two
rival ideals, each of which may be
called bolsheviam. in that it involves
a repudiation of the covenant on
which our democracy is founded. In
this covenant, the majority Is to have
freedom of action, first, in carrying 1
out its policy; second, that the mU
nority is to ha.ve freedom of speech
In voicing, its criticism. The red bol-
ehevists attack, the first half and the
white bolshevists the second."
Referring to "political prisoners
convicted under war legislation," it
adds:.
"Pending repeal of the laws under
which they have been tried and con
victed, we petition President Wilson
and the executive officers of the
states that are concerned to exercise
their power to pardon and grant full
amnesty to all who are now In prison
for the opinions. which..they honestly
held and courageously expressed."
The protest was signed by Charles
