The crowd which hnd jammed the corridor eutfdde began curly te filter In past the guardn with one excuse or nn- Iher. and the courtroom was seen tilled te its capacity. Leng before the hour net for the trial te begin the rotunda nutidde the court room wns filled with pcople crowding in te get only a glimpse of the prisoner nnd of the parents whose heart Hiiffcriugs have urnused he much sympathy. Outside the building, tee, the side walks were seen lined until n fringe of persons, mostly women extended along Airy street from the court house te the jail. They expected te see I'as quale brought down te fnce trial for his life. Hut the county officials, who have already been officially reprimanded for mnking a "show" of their prisoner, hnd anticipated just such nn exhibition of popular curiosity. They were deter mined net te be reprimanded again. Se at 7 :45 o'clock this morning two deputy officials quietly removed Pns quale from his cell and took him te the prisoners' room en the second fleer of the courtheute. There he wns kept in secluien while the throngs crowded streets and corridors outside waiting for him. When nn Kvk.mne Pt;nt.ie Ledekh cameraman snapped him this morning The Crank laughed gaily, us theuzh much pleased at the prominence which he has achieved. He likes te be pho tographed, lie seems te hnve all the vanity that alienists attribute te the Instinctive criminal. "Hew long is your trial going te last?" he was asked. "Net long." he replied.

They are familiar with the I "you must but we can't" game. i However, the Itepublican leaders will i hnve one resource this ye'nr which they never hnd before. Hitherto when the department chiefs replied "wc can't," Congress had no check upon them. This year they will have the permanent budget organization which will be cre ated under the budget bill te be passed this session. When the departments come back alleging deficiencies they will hnve te pree their needs te the budget makers. The budget makers will be supposed te knew. Cengrens frankly does net knew. It has been benten In the gnme of putting pressure en the spenders by merely cutting their esti mates. Thus, though the budget system will net go into existence early enough te control appropriations for the coming car, it will In effect control them. All that Is going te be uppreprlnteil bpfore the -lth of March Is the mini mum amount. It the departments want mere they will be fercwl in submit de mands that will Btand the scrutiny of the budget makers. The difficulty which will confront the budget makers is that the opportunity te cut N net nearly se grent as is popu larly hiippesed. Appropriations when deficiencies are made up are going te run from four te five billions u ypur. Hut the cost of maintaining the army and navy and the cost of carrying (lie public debt, amount te three-fourths of that. That is te say, the cost of pre vious, wars nnd the eet of military and naval establishments amount te about 7ti per cent of the cost of the govern ment. If nil the ether expenditures of the government were cut In halt the saving would net be enormous. The cost of carrying the public debt cannot be reduced. The government will, however, kieii be relieved of one expense that arose In the war. that of guaranteeing dividends en the rail roads. 'This deficiency lias amounted te mere than $700,000 a year. It will be met for the last time in the coining appropriations. The only ether war costs that can be reduced are these for the maintenance of the army and navy. President Wil Wil eon at Paris failed te secure disarma ment. Tin- navy department is nsklng for large appropriations for next jenr Tf President Harding, as a result of the league or association of nations, ob tains effective disarmament 1m will be able greatly te reduce gevctiitnent ex penditures.
