- tracts involving addit ional appro ­pr ia t ions of $37,400,000 were au thor ­ised, and tha t ai' t r e a s u r y deficit is probable. • ' •

Cha i rman Fi tzgera ld ' s s t a tement did no t give the " total of appropr ia ­t ions for the en t i re 63d. congress . Mr. •Gillett: placed tha t total' a t $2;231,000,-000, which, h e said, was $113,000,000 g rea te r than t h a t of the 62d congress , afid • $177,000,0,00 more t h a n the last Republ ican congress aproppriated-.

Mr. J^itzgerald es t imated tha t should the condition of the t r ea su ry con­t inue a s a t p resen t unt i l J u n e 30, t h e total deficit would 'he $133,000,000

however, «by the income tax collections wbjich a r e es t imated a t about $80,000,000..

" Mr. F i tzgera ld said t he effect of t he was wps* worldwide and that , a s it

System Illogical. "To jmake the work of the house of

j h e appropr ia t ion bi l ls ." Mr ©illett assai led the Democrat ic

t e a s e r s for wha t he character ized as Wxtrkvagance. ' • ' T h e ' a p p r o p r i a t i o n s ' of this session have shamefully disregarded the pr in­ciples of sound business- and t rue "ec6'nori^r,""'he said. " W l h revenues fal l 'ng and precar ious , w | th business a n d commercial conditions feverish and uncer ta in , with a s teady monthly deficit and no assured prospect of i ts relief, and with a cash fund reduced to "a point t ha t has general ly been deemed unsafe, the adminis t ra t ion has recommended and the congress has authorized expendi tures on a l a rge r scale than ever before, and no s tep h a s been taken to meet prospect ive deficit,

"Tha t is not t h e . w a y the finances of a government should be admin is ­tered. There ought to b e c o m e pro­port ion between income and outgo, and their re la t 'ons ought no t to be ignored a n d their accommodation left to .chance. Tha t seems to have been the only fiscal policy of this session.

Says Execut ive I s Reckless . "The executive h a s been more reck- .

leps and improvident than cpngres^, and with less excuse. The p r e v a ^ t opinion t h a t congress is mainly t o b lame is incorrect . I t is executive which is .primarily a t fault.

Bu t they havja been wholly r ec rean t to tha t duty. Wath the evidence of falling revenues plainly before them they have not hesi ta ted t o demand increased expen­di tures and instead of obeying the l aw and guiding congress to obvious and imperat ive economics, congress has been obliged to r e s t r a in and p rune the i r reckless es t imates .

BEAGHEY KILLED AT SM F

Daring Aviator Fa l l s 8000 Feet In to

Bay When Monoplane Wings Fai l .

SanFrancisco.—Lincoln Beachey, the fame oi whose skil l and .daring as an aviator has echoed round the world, was claimed by"U&e elements which he so long defied sma afternoon when the new German t a i be , in which he had hoped to demonst ra te his complete

.mastery of the air , folded i t s toy-1 ke wings and plunged from a' g rea t height into the waters of the bay. Be-ore the horrified gaze of 50,000 peo-,

p i e .who had witnessed his flight from 'the Marina in front of the . 'palace of mines a t the exposition, the peer "of aer ia l„champions w e n t , ; t o , a p end as spectacular as his r fmarkab le career. .

Beachey was on his second flight after, 'having thri l led the spectators with a, ser ies of graceful loops and had successfully flown, upside fdowa across t he blue expanse of hea,yen a t a height of 3,000 feet, when thp m o n o ­plane collapsed on the descent. Quivering for a fraction of a n dis tant l ike a wounded bird, the machine, shrouded in flaice and vapor,! hur t led ?rom aloft a s a dead weight.

In tha t fract ion of a moment it was appa ren t t ha t Beachey st i l l ^xer t ing the nerve which made him fanious, en­deavored to d . rect h is course for t he -ay. But the taube w a s beyond con­trol. The l i t t le mass of wreckage shot into t he wate r between t h e t r a n s ­port Logan and Crook lying a t the government piers . Strapped in the a luminum body of the car , Beachy disappeared beneath the waves.

Only Bit of Wood on Wate r .

When the rescuers arr ived a morn? ent l.-.ter the re was hard ly a r ipp le en the surface f only a smal l piece of the wcoden frame floated to mark the 3pot where the hero of the a i r had gone to his doom.,

Beachey was complet ing his second flight of the day when the accident occurred. _ Having previously el.ectri-3ed the crowd w.th a' ser ies of ae r i a l somersaults, the, airipsir sought -to edd ano the r thr i l l by mak ing one of t i ^ sensat ional .perpend cu la r drops which usually fea tured h i s flighty

T h e fatal fafl was" a t t r ibu ted to the Tact that Beachey en t rus ted his life for the first t ime .in several yea r s , to x monoplane. An exceptionally l a rge crowd had been a t t rac ted to the fair grounds to see whether he would, a t ­tempt the same breath- taking feats in the new machine' that , he had per-ormed in his biplane.

The machine was a t an a l t i tude of about 3,000 feet when Beaphey shu t off h is power. Fo r some d s t a n c e i t d ro rped head on toward the hay and then the aviator grasppd his control levers to adjust the p lanes for , the graceful descent which had charac te r ­ized his previous flights.
