Members of District
Committee.
FUNDS NOT CONSIDERED
Superintendent Stuart Will
Ask S3,OOO-A Vote
Next Friday.

The removal of the age limit in the
public night schools today received the
unanimous approval of the Senate Dis
trict Committee at it's regular weekly
meeting.
This indicates, in consequence, that
the committee will view with favor the
necessary Increase in the appropriation
to support these schools, but as the sub
ject of appropriation was not officially
before the committee no action was
taken on asking Congress for more
money
Coming Up Next Friday.
The matter of deficiency appropria-
tion will go over until next Friday, when
it will probably be before the usual
meeting OF the Senate Committee on
District of Columbia for consideration.
The Board of Education has not yet
submitted its estimate Of the amount
needed to carry on the work OF the
night schools until the close of the term.
superintendent Stuart is now propar-
ing a draft Of the request for the de-
ficiency appropriation, which he will
submit to the Board Of Education at its
next regular meeting, Wednesday night.
At that time the estimates will probably
be approved and forwarded to the Dis
trict Commissioners.

All Hands on Time Under
New 3:45 O'Clock Order.
RUSH TO REACH THEIR DESKS
Very Few Kickers, and They Are Max
ing Ready to Blame 1t All
on the Cook.

Some with their eyelids dropping and
others still blinking at the early morn
ing sunshine, the employees Of the Dis
trict government came filing into their
respective offices this morning al s.45
o'clock. and sat down in silence to con-
template the seven long and drearv
hours of labor, recently prescribed by
the honorable Commissioners. This
was the first day the order has been
in effect and many an unofficial grum-
BILE was heard chat nights rest should
be so rudely Interrupted.
Eager to Be on Time.
But the old police sergeant who has
stood guard at the front door of the
District Building for years, said he has
never seen such a rush to get 70 work
on time as he Witnessed this morning.
Anxious clerks crowded four and five
at a time through the narrow door
ways. and many climbed the steps to
the floors above, fearing they should re-
ceive a tardy mark if they awaited the
pleasure of the elevator boys.
Blame the Cook.
The new order is viewed from MANY
different standpoints. The boarding
house bachelors and bachelor maids and
the husbands OF thrifty housewives are
merely passive They would rather
work from 9 till T. and would enter no
strenuous objection to even a shorter
day, bur are resigned and complacent

ASKS AN INQUIRY
INTO EMERGENCY
Commissioner Macfarland
Takes the Initiative.
NO LIMITATIONS SPECIFIED
President of District Board Recon-
mends That Board of Charities
Do Probing.

The first official action relative to the
case of Henry L. Ofrutt. the House of
Detention guard whose death recently
at the Emergency Hospital was declared
by the Coroner's jury to be due to un-
sldllful treatment. was taken today,
when Commissioner Macfarland recon-
mended 10 his colleagues that the Board
Of Charities be Instructed TO institute
an investigation.
How far this investigation will go is
matter which will have TO be decided
by the board. which. it is understood, IS
inclined TO accept as a fact the verdict
Of the coroner's jury.
Verdict Ample Ground.
The verdict of the coroner's Jury. to
the effect that Offutt was not properly
treated for a fracture Of the skull, is
thought ample for all purposes of the
board, and that il will make
its recommendations. presuming the
verdict OF the jury to be cor
rect and just. II the fairness of the
verdict is disputed by the Emergency
Hospital authorities the burden of
proof Will rest with the latter to show
wherein 1t is wrong.
To Urge Government Control.
AS TO the recommendations Of the
board, it Will again urge Government
control Of the hospital. SO many alleged
Irregularities have been made public
within the last few months that the
Board of Charities does not deem It nee
essary to probe any more charges. What
has already been proved is considered
TO be enough 20 warrant Congressional
action. and the facts in the Offutt case
will be submitted merely as an addi-
