INCOME EXCEEDS EXPENSES. McAdoo's Figures Show $.50,000,000 z Surplus for U. S. Washington, June 12.?Estimates to-night by Secretary McAdoo indicat- * ed that the Government income for k* the fiscal year ending June 30 will n exceed ordinary expenses by about c $30,000,000. This is about $10,000,000 less than last year's surplus. _ Income tax returns have fallen below ^ sviMorinol octimatfts hut the customs t! ? _ houses turned in about $21,000,000 i] more than predicted. Whatever sur- n plus there is will be absorbed by p Panama Canal payments, as it was a last year. 1,Secretary McAdoo estimated that this year's ordinary receipts would y aggregate $733,000,000, and the to- t; tal ordinary disbursements $703,000, 000. Total receipts for the last fiscal t] year were 723,782,821, with ordinary 5 disbursements of $83,699,692. ti "The ordinary internal revenue re- g ceipts will probably be about $322,000,000, a decrease of about one mill- w ion from the origainal estimates," t] said Secretary McAdoo in a statement u to-night ^ "The additional internal receipts n will probably amount to about $75,- ^ 000,000, the total excise tax assessments to date against corporations is ^ between $43,000,000 and $44,000,- 0 000, about $2,400,000 in excess of l the estimate. The personal income tax assessments to date are $30,750,- p 000, which is $3,250,000 less than p the estimate. The total assessment ^ on corporations and individuals will be at least $75,000,000. The miscel- ^ laneous receipts will probably be w about $56,000,000, a decrease of about $3,000,000 below the esti- t, mates." 0 "The department is convinced that ^ many liable to the income tax have j failed to make returns and that many have made inaccurate returns. Ac- tj tive steps will be taken to discover T all evasions of the law and a large additional amount undoubtedly will be collected from these delinquents." u BIG BEAR GOES ON SPREE. tl a Terrorizes Town Until He is Lassoed ^ By a Showman. tc . After escaping from his cage, a large cinnamon bear tore things loose u tc in Braddock this afternoon. Bruin, a performing member of a wild West circuit, had a taste for fire- j n water. After gaining his liberty, he T made for the saloon of Kent McAtee, bl and, taking possession, sat down and drank two bottles of whiskey. He w then sallied forth into the street on h: a rampage. Rolling from side to side, p< the big beast defied every effort to b< capture him. He lurched into sev- ei eral teams, throwing the horses into fe a panic. Show cases and everything movable that happened to be in his tc way went down, including several pedestrians who were slow on foot- r work. ? i J _ ?

AUDITORS ARE TAKEN OFF. fe ? of Eighty Dismissed by Southern Rwy. j0 Sixty Retained. di r Columbia, June 13.?Eighty ticket p2 collectors have been taken out of ser- gj vice by the Southern railway. This fU leaves 60 collectors on duty. re Rumors has it that the remaining ge collectors will be cut oft July 1. No official announcement has been made lyj by the Southern railway, nor has rea- gj son been assigned for the first big cut. Ticket collectors have been used r on the Southern railway for several m years, these officials relieving the con- j, ductors of the labor involving in col- ta lecting fares ana ncKers anu aujusiing disputes over such matters, so ^ that the conductors might give g( all their attention to the handling of f the trains. The ticket collectors or g( train auditors have been shifted fre- h; quently from one run to another. ai White Girl Marries Negro. f< Navarino, Wis., June 12.?Feeling is intense to-day following the elope- p ment and marriage of Lethy Gregory, daughter of the owner of a ^ general store, and a negro named Peterson, of Pella, Wis.

No one ^ nows the Mexicans better than he? " r o one knows the country and the v onditions of warfare. a "Two things we must keep in mind -the Mexican climate?the heat that ^ rithers a white man?and the cerlinty that Mexicans, instead of fight- ' xg in the open, will take to the 0 lountains, where artillery can't enetrate, and there are places men foot must pick their way," said Wye Smith. "Reaching down into Western lexico are the Sierra Madre Mounlins, the Mother's Teeth they mean terally, which are a continuation of ie Rocky Mountains. They rise in roken and high peaks in the counts of Sonora, Chihuahua, Durango, ianola and Guerrero. "During a let-up in our fighting s rhen I was down there I got news s aat the Pacific Coast Magazine could se a story about Zapata, a name rhich means 'Shoe,' the man who lade it his business always to fight gainst the Government, and the J ?llow who had himself fortified in ^ ae hills in a way that reminded me f the Doones. But I didn't see any . orna there. e "He had 3,500 men camped in a , lace in the mountains that made a erfect dipper. There was only one ay of getting in and going out, and ; was a passage only about 50 feet ide, narrow, rugged, steep, up hich a man could climb only glows' And Zapata had machine guns j 'ained on this mountain pass and a bstacles in the way until he, with . is 3,500 men, could have held off A 00,000. . a I don t see how you could attack . le fellow, except with airships. ^ hey are about the only way of getng at him. . "And believe me he is a fighter, is trade is fighting, just as that of le other mountain bandits is. When rebellion is started he joins with le rebels.. When it succeeds he o arts another rebellion. e "On the way up a guide I had j >ld me a story about the 'Shoe' that ? a asn't nice to hear when I was soon j > be Zapata's guest. "Zapata demanded tribute from a b ch rancher in that neighborhood. ^ he fellow answered with courtesies at no money. ^ "He woke up the next morning ith Zapata at his door. He found imself the next afternoon tied to a ast in the middle of a bull pen, his Ddy out or reacn, Dut ms legs iu? ^ lough to be gored. D "Red cloth was tied around the ^ sllow's legs and soldiers were set ^ torturing a bull. The beast was ^ irned loose in the pen and saw the ;d cloth on the post. Maybe you can less what happened. The flesh was >red from the man's legs and he F ed as he hung on the post. "Did I say that Zapata had ought the rancher's wife to the Ige of the pen and made her sit ei Lere? *3 "That explains to you what those Ql llows are?utterly merciless, some S( : them not human. But this fel- w w Zapata was partly a Guerro Inan and that helps to explain him. C( "A, dry, dark-faced, meagre, imissive and yet nervous man I found ** m. And he insisted?it seemed a] inny to affie-?that he be quoted cor- P1 >ctly. He didn't want people to ^ i\ it a wrong impression or mm. "I want to impress the fact that ^ exicans are not cowardly; that they ?ht well in their own way, and that ley can shoot. w "To illustrate: I'd been with the ebels about a year when they chose e to pick out 30 sharpshooters from t( )0 soldiers. I had them set up a a irget at 1,000 yards and put them a > firing at it. Net a man made less lan 30 per cent. Over half of them e Dt better than 45 per cent., and the ? dlow who was selected as sergeant ^ Dt 70 per cent. That man would ave killed seven out of ten soldiers t 1,000 yards. E "I remember a time when a small >rce of our Rebels attacked a town le pursuers into a small, narrow ass with thickets on both sides. ij "They swarmed into the pass, t< acked full of men, then we opened re. Not one of them got away. We t hot down 300 in that place. It's ^ Dmething like this the Mexicans ^ 'ould like to try on our men."?At- a inta Journal. t WILL EIIIT PYTHIAN [ i rown of Abbeville succeeds Aull of ^ Newberry, Resigned. s At a joint meeting of the commit- d ee of The Pythian on publication and t he ways and means committee of the 1 rand lodge of the Knights of Pv- I hias, it was decided that C.

Washington, June 12.?Only Presient Wilson's signature is necessary o repeal the clause of the Panama !anal Act exempting American coastrise shipping from tolls. The long nd bitter fight in Congress came to n end to-day, when the House, after - * ? J ?in ii. ner aeDate ana wuuuui cue loi iuany of a conference, accepted by a vote f 216 to 71 the Senate amendment pecially reserving all rights the Jnited States may have under the lay-Pauncefote treaty or otherwise. The President is expected to sign he measure Monday. It was just a ittle more than three months ago hat he addressed the House and Sente in joint session, urgently asking or repeal of the exemption clause hat the nation might keep its treaty bligations. Speaker Clark was out f the city to-day, but he and Vice'rsident Marshall will attach their ignatures to the bill to-morrow and end it to the White House. Before ending the contest by con- . urring in the Senate amendment the louse voted down, 174 to 108, a proosal advanced by Representative loss, of West Virginia, to attach to ne repeal a flat declaration of the ight of the United States to exempt ts vessels from tolls and or tne sovreignty of the United States over the lanal Zone. * Heated Debate. During the discussion to-day there rere flashes of heat in the debate, rhich characterized the original conideration of the measure. Repreentative Underwood, the Democratic jader, although voting for the Sente amendment, said that Congress hould never have made this "Unimerican surrender," and called the mendment "ineffective and negaive" Republican Leader Mann, who ad vigorously opposed repeal, suported the amendment, declaring it jft the entire question of the rights f this country to be determined in tie future. Representative Glass, of Virginia, ttacked the Democratic leaders who pposed the measure. He denouncd the "outrageous assaults made on ae President" by the Republicans, nd expressed indignation "at the jaders of the Democratic side who ave aspersed their own colleagues ecause they would not follow them ato the camp of the Republican , arty in advocacy of the Republican octrine." , "Mr. Speaker," he added, "I think ou will search the political records f this'country in vain to find such , spectacle as we have found here in , ais Congress?the leaders of the , emocratic party deserting their par7 and standing shoulder to shoulder ith Republican leaders against a emocratic President."

Columbia, June 11.?The Supreme Court granted the request of United States Senator and Mrs. B. R. Tillman, and will allow them to have the custody of their two little granddaughters, Douschka Pickens Tillman and Sarah Starke Tillman, during the months of July and August, while their son, B. R. Tillman, Jr., the father of the girls, absent from the State. The opposition of Mrs. Lucy Dugas, the mother of the two little girls, and the divorced wife of young Ben Tillman, to the request of the grandparents was unavailing. The Supreme Court said the question of support of the two childdren was not before them. The mother has the right, however, to bring such an action. No further bond is required of Senator and Mrs. Tillman that the decree of the court in awarding the custody of the children will be carried out. Both B. R. Tillman, Jr., and his divorced wife are under bonds of $5,000 each that they will carry out the decree of the Court, and the bond of the father the Court held to be sufficient for the purpose of permitting the little girls to spend July and August with their grandparents. Text of Court's Decree. The decree of the Court follows in full: "The State of South Carolina, Edge ' ' T_ neia uoumv?m mo ou^icmo Court.?Ex parte B. R. Tillman, Jr., in re the custody of Douschka Pickens Tillman and Sarah Starke Tillman, his infant children, vs. Mrs. Lucy Dugas Tillman, alias Mrs. Lucy Dugas, respondent. "After hearing argument of counsel for and against the motion herein, the Court is of the opinion that the objection made by respondent to the jurisdition of this Court is unsound; it is, therefore, overruled. The Court is of the opinion that the contention of the respondent that the right of B. R. Tillman, Jr., to have the children with him at the times specified in the previous order of -the Court should be conditioned upon his supporting and maintaining them, is not properly belfore the Court for its consideration, and this contention is overruled for that reason. The respondent has the right, if and when so advised, to institue proper proceedings to require the said B. R. Tillman, Jr., to support and maintain said children, but, as to the respective rights of the parties in regard to that matter nothing is now decided. The Court is further of the opinion that, under all the circumstances, it is right and proper that said children should spend the months of July and August of the present year with their grandparents, B. R. Tillman, Sr., and his wife, dur ing the absence of B. R. Tillman, Jr., from the State, just as if the said B. R. Tillman, Jr., were there during said months, and subject to and in all other respects in conformity with the previous order of the Court. "As this order is granted upon the motion of B. R. Tillman, Jr., the custody of the children during said months by B. R. Tillman, Sr., and his wife, being to all intents and purposes that of B. R. Tillman, Jr., the bond heretofore required of and given by him in this cause is sufficient to require the production of said children when required by the Court. Let the motion papers and return be filed with the clerk with this order. "EUGENE B. GARY, "Chief Justice. "D. E. HYRICK, A. J. "R. C. WATTS, A. J. "T. B. FRAZER, A. J. "GEO. W. GAGE, A. J."
