DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, MONDAY, DECEMBER 5,1921

Mr. Harding’s Message' Is Given to Congress (Continued from page ono) during 1923 were estimated at $3,338,182,750, while expeditures, actual cash paid out of the treasury were 1 Placed at $3,805,754,727. Appropria- . lions asked for today total $3,801,- . 113.659.53, but this includes $576,238,06t> in postal appropriations, which ' will bo paid from postal revenues. This leaves a net total of $3,224,875,• 595.53. The difference between this amount and the actual cash expenditures will be made up by appropria- ' tions which continue from year to 1 year. 1 This year, the budget report shows, ' the federal government will expend ' $3,967,922,366, as compared with $5,- ' 538,040,689.3(1, last| year. Receipts 1 thia year will be $3,943,453,663, leav- ' ing a deficit to start the new fiscal year of 1923 of $24,468,703; while re- ' ceipts last year of $5,624,932,960, ex- ' ceeded expenditures by $86,892,271.61. 1 The president's message reveals ' that Dawes wits able to reduce the 1 first federal budget $122,806,310.95 below the amounts asked by the de- ' partments. Under a new system installed by Dawes, he estimated the actual expenditures from each department during the next fiscal year a*d then presented the appropriations asked. These differ because of continuing appropriations which increase the amount the treasury 'pays out each year above the congressional appropriations. This year, this increase was nearly $900,000,000, but for 1923 Dawes has cut the continuing appropriations down to about $281,000,000. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Tonight will be the last service of the special evangelistic meetings at I the Baptist church. The Lord has I been giving us a gracious manifestation of his presence and power dur- I ing the last week, but let us go on I our faces before him in prayer that'l this closing service may be a fitting climax. We have welcomed a goodly; number into the church which gives ! us great joy, but we give all the' glory to Him, lest our candle-stick bed removed from its place. The ordin-1 ance of baptism will be administered j I at the close of the service. The reg- I ular service will begin at 7:30 but all Christians who want to spend a little I time in prayer before the service are asked to come to the church at 6:45. F. D. WHITESELL. —■. • CASE GOES ALONG (Continued from page one) the prosecution will endeavor to , show that Fred was the brains of the | plot which involved Virgile and Cali Decker and their mother Lydia.. ! The prosecutors will try to show I that young Lovett was lured to a J Tippecanoe river cabin on the rear <M I Fred Decker's farm and that he was! slain with the iron bar introduced in ! the trial. They will point out that the I life insurance Virgil carried would! pay $24,000 in case of accidental death and that Ix)vett's body was laid by the Pennsylvania railroad track near Atwood to give the crime an aspect of an accident. A buggy without a horse hitched U> it was standing near the crossing and harness found in the buggy was ■ also brought into court. The trial is expected to go over 1 into next week. Virgil, the younger 1 of the three brothers and a pal of' Leßoy Lovett before the murder Is i serving a life sentence for Lovett’s! death.

CONGRESS BACK AT WASHINGTON • (Continued from page one) system, will be started tomorrow by the enlarged appropriations committee. The army and navy appropriations bill will be held awaiting the results of the arms limitation conference. While the finance committee wrestles with the tariff, the senate will plunge into the work of enacting a hill authorizing a commission of five to refund the 511,000,000,000 foreign debt on which the president desires early action. Strong opposition has already developed to any measure that would take the refunding operations completely out of the hands of congress. Hearings on the tariff bill will be resumed by the finance committee on , Wednesday and rushed to a dose by I December 20 under present plans. Republican leaders predict that the measure will be reported to the sen-' ate before the first of the year and | that it will be a law by February 1.1 The Newberry case is t expected to [ consume considerable time, in seriate debates before it i s finally disposed, of early in January. On motion of Senator Lodge the I senate took a recess until 3 o’clock while the congressional commission called on the president. The president’s budget message' was expected to be sent to congress i immediately after the recess.

Brooks, head of Department of Fine Arts at Indiana University, is among contributors from the United States, England, Italy, Scotland, Wales and Belgium to a classical library to be known as "Our Debt to Greece and Rome,’’ seem to be published under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania.

The books will undertake to reveal the influence and continuity of the ancient culture and to demonstrate its continued importance and v-1 tality in the present. The authors will write for a general audience of readers rather than for the more limited circle of the college professor and will strive to treat their subjects in a popular rather than in a scientific manner.
