Deficiency Appropriation Re-:-
quests Are Cut From
$81 ,000 to $21,465
V MICKLE AND Plf RCE ROW

j Place Blame for Action on
Governor; Minor Mat -ters
Are Discussed '
Requested deficiency appropria
tions of approximately $81,000
were cut to $21,465 by the state
emergency board Saturday. The
largest item approved ..was in the
amount of $16,00.0 to put into
operation the so-called motor ve
hicle; title registration law enacted
by the 1923 legislature, which
failed to provide an appropriation
for" administration."
"it was explained by Sam A. Ko
zer, . secretary of state, that it
would 'cost, in the neighborhood
of $65,000 to administer the law,
but that incoming fees were esti
mated at $60,000, and the defici
ency appropriation would be suf
ficient to take care of the im
mediate needs. -
In connection with a.requested
deficiency appropriation of $16,
000 for defraying the cost of pav
ing and sewer construction at the
Monmouth state normal school,
the emergency board, instructed
the board of regents to pay the
claim out of the millage tax for
the institution. When this fund is
exhausted the board indicated that
it, would be willing to authorize a
deficiency, appropriation, y
Request for a deficiency appro
priation of $4598, presented by J.
D. Mickle, state dairy and food
commissioner, brought tho great
est amount of discussion. The
item yfna approved by the legis
lature hut later vetoed by Gover
nor Pierce. A lively tilt occurred
between the applicant, and. (lie
governor. , . , .
; "If yon "bad listened to me this
situation would sot hare happen
ed Mr. Mickle said. 'Z'Zl
"Yoa mean if yon had consulted
with me this wouldn't have hap
pened, the governor replied.
' Governor Pierce charged that
Mr. Mickle had agreed with the
budget commission relative to the
amount of his appropriation but
later Instigated a lobby to go be
fore the ways and means commit
tee and increase the amount seve
rai thousands of dollars. This
was resented- by Governor Pierce.
It was finally agreed that Mr.
' Mickle should be allowed a de
ficiency appropriation of, $600.
Other expenses of his department
will be defrayed out of his appro
priation for general maintenance
.until this fund is exhausted.
C. A. Park, president of the
state board, of horticulture, re
quested $3,000 with which. to com
bat the alfalfa weevil, but was
told to use the funds of his depart
ment until they -were exhausted
and then ask for relief.
Two other deficiency appropri
ations were allowed. One was for
$2C3 to defray the cost of travel
ing expenses of circuit Judges and
the other for $600 for a pension
to Raleigh Wilson, ONG member
at Corvallis.

CHICAGO, ,. June G.-r-Old Sol,
who for a week has done his best
to convert territory jfrom ,the
Rocky mountains to he Atlantic
seaboard into a furnace, today
found some; active competition
when Jupiter Pluylus took a hand
in moderating temperatures injthe
middle west. i
The east, however, pontinued to
swelter in the grip of" torrid tem
peratures. The toll from the heat
for the country today passed the
300 mark. '
While rains moderated tempera
tures slightly in some places, there
was little prospect tonight for any
great or immediate relief from the
hot weather, , Weather forecasts
generally Ywere for 1 continued
warm weather over Sunday al
though in some parts rains were
expected. Today's rains were not
heavy, but where they occurred
they brought relief, t Relief for
the entire country affected is ex
pected Monday or Tuesday by the
weather bureau.
While the eastern half Of the
country sweltered, snow rain and
temperatures down to freezing
.were repotted from many sections
of the Rocky mountain region.
Colorado, Wyoming and Montana
all were in the path of the cool
weather with unseasonably- low
temperatures at many points.
Thunder showers moderated the
hot weather at many . points in
Illinois, while rain was also re
ported from Kentucky and in In
diana and Tennessee. Chicago's
broiling mercury was cooled a lit
tle by-a breeze from the east blow
ing over Lake Michigan and the
thermometer could only' climb to
85 today, as compared with 96
yesterday. For the most part the
east was hotter than-the middle
west today, for while temperatures
ranging from 90 to 100 were re
ported along the Atlantic seaboard
and in eastern and southeastern
states, temperatures in the middle
west generally ranged, from 85 to

WASHINGTON. June 6 -(By

anxiety in Washington over tho

The contending forces are fac

gion under Dr. Sun Yat Sen up to
the time of his death. The group
then broke up into , radical and

;The civic government bf Canton

at Canton has. served notice on
both factions that American lives
