6 UNCLESAM SPENDS BILLION A MONTH I Treasury Setting Record For October That May Exceed ; Amount by .$100,000,000 Washington, Oct. 29.—Govern ment expenditures of one billion dol lars Is the record which the month of October has established at the Treas ury Department. The total, which includes loans to the allies, nvay ex ceed even this huge sum. possibly by I $100,000,000. Thus far it stands at $985,342,387, with yesterday's spend ing not included. For the twenty three working days thus far counted it shows average expenditure of ap proximately $4*, 600,000 daily, or al most $30,000 every minute of the day and night. Expenditures for last Friday, the latest record published, were $68,975,948, but this was an unusual day, considerably higher than the average, though not by any - means a record. The increase in the daily expendi tures is greater at the present time than it was a month ago and is steadily growing. It is thought that it will conUnue to grow. A two bil lion dollar month, officials assert, is not far off. It may be reached with the retirement of sliort-tlme Treas ury certificates, to be met out of Lib erty bond receipts by midwinter. Expenditures for the fiscal year thus far have reached the total of -53,446,659,764. of which $1,770,700,-1 000, or more than half, is represented by loons to the allies. These loans j and the interest upon them are to be ( repaid to the government by 'the| borrowers, and, therefore, do not represent actual expense to the I American people.

HARTUSnmr; TESLEGHXprf NEW PUN TO TAKE SOLDIER VOTE IN FIELD Company Plan Given Up Be cause of Division of Commands Reasons why no attempt will be made to take the votes of Pennsyl vania soldiers by organizations as was done in the Civil War and dur ing Mexican border service are con tained in a letter written by Attorney General Brown to Governor Brum- I baugh. Companies and regiments are now made up regardless of localities where recruited and changes are con stantly being made. Mr. Brown writes: "It has been deemed expedient, therefore, to take the vote by coun ties in each regiment or separate military units and not by companies and to open a poll for each county represented in a regiment where there are more than ten voters from such county except in case where the preponderance of voters in a regi ment is from one county, in case it would be advisable to open a poll for each company or combine two or more companies in one poll ing place so that each poll would vote approximately the same number of men. If less than ten men from one county are represented in a regiment that county and some other one or more counties should be joined for on polling place." Commissioners are instructed to ascertain immediately upon arrival at a camp from the officer in com mand of a regimeryt or other unit, "The number of counties represented in each company of the regiment and the number of men, from each county." It is also suggested that commis sioners to each camp meet at noon on election day and then determine any matters of dispute or doubt that may have arisen.

ECKINGER IS PUT IN FALSE LIGHT His Opponents Using Untrue Statements to Injure His Candidacy Friends of Coroner Jacob Eckinger, who is a candidate for re-election, pointed out to-day that opponents are not honest in their criticisms of his conduct of his office. They are going about telling the voters that a physician as coroner could save the county much money by acting as bis own phyisician in making postmorten examinations. Tills is not true. The law would not permit it. The law is that in ease of the coo rcr or his jury suspecting murder, the examination must be made by one physician selected by the coronor and another selected by the district at torney. The coroner is not permitted to act as his own physician. Instead of running up fees need lessly, the records will sliojy that Eckinger has been very economical nnd-tliat the coroner's office costs the people here very little as coni pored with the expense of that office in some other counties. City Eight I.lvens l'l> Things are overwhelmingly favor able for a Republican victory in the county ahd the candidates are get ting about among their friends this week. The closing days of the cam paign have stirred up interest also in the city. There are some close races in the <'ouncilman|e contests and as tlie outlook is Council will have a majority of Republican candidates. Th Republican organization has is sued 110 orders to workers and de spite the efforts of ex-Mayor John K. Koval to line up the Democrats ear nstly behind his candidacy, there has been very little enthusiasm i that quarter for anybody up to this time. Charles F. Spicer, also a Democrat, appears to be making som lieadwa> this week and his friends believe he will be oe of the Councilmen elected. DeWitt A. Fry and Dr. Samuel I'. llassler are perhaps th euiost vigor ous campaigners in th" city and Hassler is claiming both Repblican and Democratic support. Fry is also making a strong independent canvass and expresses himself as well satis fied with the results. William H. Lynch, who stood first at the primaries, and E. 7.. Gross who came in second, are candidates for their old places in Council. Lynch has been a member since the crea tion of small council and Gross has been a member the past two years. They are getting about as much a their duties will permit and their friends are optimistic as to* their prospects. Neither Charles XV. Burtnett nor Edward L Itinkenbaeh have done tvuch campaign in a political way. tut they are receiving promises of support from all parts of the city from friends who believe that experi enced and conservative businessmen of good reputation should have places in city Council. Both are above re proach and have had. such experi ence as would make them valuable members of the city legislative and administrative body.
