WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.JThe Treasury
Department today issued a denial that
it holds $68,000,000 or any sum for ex-
slaves er their heirs, or for other per-
sons who worked in the cotton fields
during the civil war and the years pre-
ceding and following the conflict.
The department calls attention to the
suit brought in the District of Columbia
Supreme Court against Secretary Mc-
Adoo to have this sum paid to claimants
to help pick cotton, on which the $68,-
000,000 was assessed as internal ^revenue
tax. The Treasurer’s statement says the
government’s right to collect this tax
was demonstrated years ago by the
courts and says that even if the ex-
slaves had any claim it would be against
their masters, and they would have no
recourse at this late date even against
their masters.
The statement points out also that the
suit begun here against Secretary Mc-
Adoo was treated as an action against
the government, and that the usual fate
of such suits is to be thrown out for
lack of jurisdiction. It contained a
warning that persons who contributed
to any fund for the prosecution of any
such suit were throwing their money
away.

GREY REVIEWS BALKAN STRUGGLE.
LONDON, Oct. 15.—Sir Edward Grey
in the House yesterday reviewed the
diplomatic struggle in the Balkans pre-
ceding recent developments. He said
the Central Empires offered Bulgaria
more than the allies could afford to
give for Bulgarian neutrality. The sug-
gestion that troops be withdrawn from
Gallipoli to aid the Serbians was an-
swered by the statement that the Gov-
ernment could not disclose more fully
the operations in which the country is
engaged.
President Heeds Larger Home
How; Summer Capital In H. J
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-President
Wilson today decided to spend next
summer in New Jersey, at the former
summer home of John A. McCall, near
Long Branch, the estate owned by Mr.
McCall being known as “Shadow Lawn."
The President was proffered the free
use of Shadow Lawn by the committee,
at the head of which was Bepresentative
Sculley of New Jersey. The former
Governor .of New Jersey insisted, how-
ever, that the President pay rent and
that the money be given to charity if
the committee pleased.
Governor Fielder, in his litter, urged
the President to spend the summer in
New Jersey, to be there when he«re-
ceived the glad tidings of his re-nom-
ination. President Wilson only smiled
when it was mentioned, but when he
announced his acceptance of the invi-
tation, he was warmly applauded and
the delegates all insisted on shaking
hands with him.
Good Bye, Cornish.
The acceptance of this invitationmeans
that the President will not return to
his former summer home at Cornish,
N. H., where he has occupied, each sum-
mer since he became President, a beau-
tiful home in a secluded part of the re-
sort town. The McCall mansion, which
will now be the new “summer capital,"
is not so secluded as the former summer
home at Cornish, but it is larger.

VALENTINE, Neb., Oc. 15.—An 18-
year-old farm hand was arrested here
today suspected of having been connect-
ed with the murder near here Wednes-
day night of Mrs. Nellie D. Neelen, a
ranchman's wife, and Mrs. Anna Lay-
port e, her friend. The ranch house was
burned in an attempt to conceal the
crime. Examination of the charred bo-
dies of the women, however, showed
they had been shot. The Sheriff, fear-
ing a lynching, has the puspect in hiding
today.

the loss of their money, there was no

lowed by unsuccessful gambling and

WASHINGTON. Oct. 15- President
Wilson today approved Secretary Dan-
iels’ recommendation for a five-year
constructive program for the United
States navy, to cost $500,000,000. The
exact amount for each of the five years
has not been decided, but the first year's
program calls for two dreadnaughts and
two battle cruisers. The national de-
fense plans therefore calling for an ex-
penditure for the next fiscal year of
more than $400,000,000 have been com-
pleted.
Secretary of War Garrison has for-
warded his estimate, approved by Presi-
dent Wilson, to the Secretary of the
Treasury. The navy estimates probab-
ly will be published tomorrow, and
those of the army Monday.
Secretary Daniels admits that the
navy plan includes a large building
program. He said that he wishes to in-
crease the capacity of the various gov-
ernment shipyards and do much new
work on these yards. It is expected
there will be sufficient work to keep
both government and private shipbuild-
ing yards busy. ,
It was said at the Navy Department
later that the first year's program,when
presented in its final form, might be
expanded to two dreadnaughts and three
battle cruisers. Officials worked over
the figures for several hours, following
the White House conference in an ef-
fort to distribute the sums equally over
the five year period, and it was con-
sidered quite possible that five first-line
ships might tie asked fur as an initial
step in progress.
